Shattering the Star

"Two hundred and fifty thousand horsepower unleashed... Magnetic Field Rotation, Sea Tiger Blast Punch!"

His power was squeezed to the limit, and battle marks appeared on Wei Xiuming's forehead. Then, he unleashed a ferocious punch onto the ground.

Then came the cataclysmic upheaval. The entire framework of the planet began to crumble under Wei Xiuming's all-out punch. The ground cracked, and fissures several meters wide turned the planet into a piece of porcelain that had been shattered and then pieced back together. These fissures were filled with red light, a scene of magma gushing out from the cracks due to pressure changes at the Earth's core.

The magma, shooting straight into the sky, rose hundreds of meters high before pouring down in all directions, sweeping everything away like a monstrous wave, its roar capable of shattering the internal organs of living beings.

Thick black smoke accompanied by magma erupted from the earth's crust. The solid particles shrouded the clouds, which stretched over ten thousand meters high, obscuring the clear sky that Wei Xiuming had cleared. Purple electric currents occasionally darted through the clouds, making the scene resemble hell under the scorching red light of the magma.

The secret of the Sea Tiger Blast Punch lies not in the techniques, but in channeling power into the body and circulating it throughout the body's acupoints, unleashing unparalleled force. When this force strikes the target's body, it resonates with the target's acupoints, causing the power to explode entirely within the target's body.

Of course, there aren't many opportunities to think during a fight. When using the Sea Tiger Blast Punch, you just need to gather your power and awareness into your body and then unleash it.

It can be said that the Sea Tiger Blast Punch is both the most complex martial art and the most simple and brutal fist technique.

But it's a different story when facing a stationary planet. Wei Xiuming connected the magnetic field power to the planet, figured out all its features, found its "Achilles' heel," and then unleashed a powerful punch.

Two hundred and fifty thousand horsepower is not enough to shatter a planet. Just as the four original powerhouses did not change their fate by shattering their natal stars, even if they pushed their power to the ultimate level of nine hundred and ninety thousand horsepower, they could never escape the shackles of destiny.

Just like how Mizuki Hitomi's prophecy about the "Heart of the Whale" before her death was ultimately fulfilled in the Bai brothers.

However, Wei Xiuming's full-force punch killed the planet beneath his feet. The force of 250,000 horsepower exploded at the planet's fatal point, destroying its possibility of existence as a planet. Under the influence of gravity, it will shatter into countless fragments until it forms an asteroid belt in its original orbit.

The continental shelf began to fracture and break apart, the ocean was evaporated by lava flowing from the seabed, and large amounts of high-pressure steam filled the atmosphere, gathering into water droplets with black dust as the core, turning into acid rain or other Venom that poured down.

Of course, because the planet itself was damaged, the atmosphere could not remain intact, and a large amount of gas escaped its confinement and diffused into outer space.

Everywhere there was a scene of apocalypse.

This is Wei Xiuming's confidence in completely destroying the Hive —destroying the planet he inhabits and thwarting Hydra's attempt to reclaim him.

From the moment Wei Xiuming arrived on this planet to the moment the planet began to disintegrate, exactly thirty-five minutes had passed.

When the time came, the portal opened once more. The panoramic monitoring device above Wei Xiuming's head reduced the output power of its anti-gravity device and slowly descended until it fell into the portal and returned to Earth.

Upon seeing the Black Stone portal close, Wei Xiuming took out a teleportation gun from his waist and opened his own portal. The Great Leader emerged from the churning Black Mist.

"Well done!"

Upon seeing the scene before him, the Great Leader applauded Wei Xiuming's methods.

The most precious resources in the universe are matter and energy. Compared to the boundless space of the universe, the system occupied by planets and stars is insignificant. The distance from the Earth to the Moon alone is enough to fit the eight planets of our solar system.

Therefore, a planet rich in resources and without a home is very precious. This planet, which served as the Hive's place of exile, was able to support the birth of a civilization and enable it to master advanced technology. The variety and quantity of its resources were quite abundant.

Most importantly, the original civilization and races of this planet were destroyed by the Hive, turning it into a no-man's-land.

Wei Xiuming cooperated with Hydra, even going so far as to involve them in his plans and provide them with a lot of technology for free, all in order to obtain the coordinates of this planet.

"Magnetic Field Rotation causes matter to recombine!"

The Great Leader slammed his fist into the void, and the magnetic field power spread out, enveloping the planet's remains.

First comes the highly magnetic core; then the high-temperature liquid material in the core is rapidly extracted and separated into different settlements according to different molecular properties under the filtration of the magnetic field, while minerals in the mantle and crust are stripped from the soil.

Soon, everything useful on a planet was stripped away by the Great Leader, and the rest was discarded like chewed-up sugarcane scraps.

The dinosaur civilization devoured the empire by plundering the solar system for two centuries with a ring-shaped spaceship with a diameter of 50,000 kilometers, hollowing out the Earth and turning this solid planet into a hollow "balloon." However, under the leadership of the Great Leader, this project only takes less than twenty minutes.

"Hell God, Limitless War God! Come forth, all of you!"

"Roar!"

Processing all the resources of a planet is an enormous undertaking, and even the Great Leader cannot manage everything—after all, he is no longer the ultimate powerhouse who once unleashed Sea Tiger Blast Punch with the power of over a million horses. The different timelines limit his power, so he needs helpers.

Wei Xiuming is a good choice because he and the Great Leader are essentially the same person, only they made different choices at a certain point in time.

Unfortunately, Wei Xiuming was too weak. Even though his attack could shatter stars, he was still too weak. A mere 250,000 units of power was not even at the level of anti-gravity, let alone the 750,000 units of power required to help the Great Leader.

The Great Leader had no choice but to resort to using the Hell God he had split off to help him. Wei Xiuming saw figures appear from behind the Great Leader, becoming solid from their illusory forms, as if they were real people.

The leader was a man with an Asian face, in his twenties, not tall at all, not even 1.7 meters, with an ordinary appearance and a fat build. His attempt to work at a desk made him hunch over, revealing a slightly inferior feeling.

And this was none other than Wei Xiuming's face and image from his previous life. The Great Leader had separated this memory and made it an independent personality. Upon seeing this person, Wei Xiuming suddenly felt a stirring in his heart, and he suddenly began to doubt everything he had ever done.

Then there's a man of mixed Eastern and Western descent, strikingly similar to Michael Fassbender, a younger Magneto —the real Kent Clark, Mutants born as Weapon X.

Then came the Hell Ambassador, Colonel Zemo, Doctor Death, and their entourage.

They dispersed and each processed the planetary material individually.

The high temperature generated when the electric current produced by the magnetic field flows through the metal ore is used to smelt the metal. The molten ore is then purified, fused according to the most perfect ratio, and finally divided into different sizes under the force of the magnetic field. It is then shaped, cooled, and formed into parts of different sizes. The God of War with 950,000 horsepower has molecular-level processing capabilities, making these parts look as if they have been refined by Nanobots, perfectly matching the design requirements.

Some utilize gravity; some rely on the centrifugal force of planetary remnants; some ignite heavy nuclear material extracted from planets, using magnetic fields to confine the heat generated by the nuclear reaction within a very small space, acting as a furnace...

The methods employed by the War Gods left Wei Xiuming in awe. He had previously envisioned these processing techniques, and according to his reasoning and calculations, they were entirely feasible. However, he had never put them into practice. Firstly, Earth's technology was far from advanced to that level. They hadn't even fully studied the fragments of the Skrulls spaceship that crashed in the small town, and the few pieces they had deciphered had already advanced materials science by more than a decade. Even with Wei Xiuming's efforts to accelerate progress, they were still far from reaching that level.

Secondly, Wei Xiuming himself was too weak; his strength was far from sufficient, and weakness was his original sin.

Then, the Great Leader made his move. Compared to the Gods of War, he was more capable and intelligent—although they had different personalities and ways of thinking, all the Gods of War's wisdom and abilities originated from him.

The things he was going to create had too many side details to handle, Great Leader delegated these tasks to the War Gods, while he handled more than 80 percent of the workload independently.

His furnace was already in place.

The sun's light disappeared from this star system. The Great Leader, by his own power, created a Dyson sphere structure, collecting all the energy and matter emitted by the star and converging it into a beam of light that crossed the universe, serving as a great hammer to forge those materials according to the Great Leader's will.

Materials with properties dozens or even hundreds of times greater than those of starship motherships were born from the Great Leader's hands. Among them were even degenerate neutron matter. Asgard had traversed the universe for many years and had only collected a small portion of it, which they treasured and forged into Thor's Hammer, a symbol of his qualification to become the next God King. Yet, the Great Leader obtained degenerate neutron matter so easily.

This is the overwhelming power of technology and strength.

The Great Leader and his War God did not simply forge the metal plate. The seemingly simple metal plate was actually a very complex technological creation. In the instant the material was formed and cooled, intricate circuits were engraved inside, shaping it as part of a super-large object.

After an unknown amount of time, the materials extracted from the planet were completely consumed, and the Great Leader's project was completed. The parts were assembled in an orderly manner, and the last armor plate was put on, finally completing this magnificent creation.

It was a robot about fifty meters tall, humanoid in shape, with a slender body and sharp, mechanical armor that concealed a complete biological skeleton. The purely mechanical structure contained cosmic-level electronic structures hidden within its components.

This is just a disguise. A robot built by draining the resources of the entire planet could not possibly be only this big. After it was completed, the space technology extracted from the Tesseract was applied to this robot, cutting off the space in which it existed and making it independent. What appears in the current space is just a projection of it.

If a massive amount of matter were shaped to only this size, its density would warp space; if it were released intact from its own space, its gravity alone would be enough to tear apart a planet; if its feet were on Earth, its head would be protruding beyond the atmosphere.

At this moment, it was merely an inanimate object, lacking the driving force and energy to propel it... and a soul.

The energy required to power such a massive mechanical construct is enormous; the energy output of Tony Stark's Arc Reactor is negligible.

When designing this robot, Wei Xiuming had already come up with a solution.

The Great Leader stood atop the giant robot's head, its magnetic force penetrating deep into the mechanical structure. As the energy source and control system, it gained control of the robot. Under its control, the armor on the robot's chest began to deform, and the complex mechanical structure opened layer by layer until the empty abdomen was revealed at the very bottom.

A sphere was propelled into the robot's abdomen by two War God —it was the Star Core of the planet, shaped into an independent structure by the Great Leader using the power of the star. Only by the combined efforts of the two War God could it be moved. This Star Core was placed in the center of the robot's internal skeleton.

But this was only the first step in activating the robot. The Great Leader struggled to control the massive robot, moving it so that its exposed chest was aligned with the opening in Rosenbridge that released stellar energy and matter, allowing immense light and heat to envelop the Star Core. The two War God retreated to the left and right, using the Star Core as a boundary, and then gathered their power.

"Magnetic Field Rotation, Complete Realm, 750,000 horsepower, Sea Tiger Blast Punch!"

"Magnetic Field Rotation, Complete Realm, 750,000 horsepower of power, Whale Slaying Hegemon Fist!"

The two War God unleashed their ultimate attack upon the Star Core. Their existence vanished completely after that attack, and even when the Great Leader used the Hell God again, they were nowhere to be found.

The two strikes, each with a power of 750,000 horsepower, converged within the Star Core. The power, originating from the same source, fused together to generate 1.5 million horsepower of antimatter.

The collision of dark matter, dark energy, and positive and negative energy, along with gamma rays, fusion, and other phenomena beyond our comprehension, gives birth to this special entity. The enormous energy it releases is the driving force behind this robot.

Wei Xiuming glanced at it from afar and then turned his head away. The various changes there were beyond his level of understanding; they were a manifestation of the truth of the world—chaos, disorder, madness—this was the essence of the world.

After the energy core was activated, the Great Leader withdrew his power, allowing the energy released by the core to flow through the robot's entire body via the pipes. This process alone took 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds.

After the energy was connected, the originally light gray armor was coated with a new color, and inscriptions explaining the workings of the world naturally appeared on the armor, while the four eyes on the head lit up with a ghostly blue light.

The giant robotic armor came to life.
