The damage to Zhuxian Changlin's hull structure rapidly climbed past fifty percent!
The severe damage to the hull structure placed an even heavier burden on Zhuxian Changlin's power supply and other already-overloaded systems.
A chain reaction followed.
The various systems, already running beyond their limits, finally exceeded their tolerances and broke down prematurely!
For a time,
after taking concentrated fire from the Black Stone Kingdom's forces, Zhuxian Changlin had not yet suffered catastrophic damage to the areas that had been hit.
Yet explosions of light and flame kept appearing in parts of the hull that hadn't been struck!
It was like fireworks with their fuses lit.
Starting from the bow, the ship erupted in a series of violent explosions, one section after another!
More than ten minutes later,
the Zhuxian Changlin, which had activated the "Break the cauldrons and sink the boats" Battleship Skill and on which Richardson had pinned such high hopes,
was engulfed in a chain of secondary explosions.
It sank without a trace!
Both sides across the battlefield fell silent for a while.
After all, this was the sinking of a Star Destroyer!
At the same time, the spectators in the various livestreams on the Changpan River System's Star Domain Network also fell silent for a moment.
There was no other reason.
Most of them might go their entire lives without ever seeing a real Star Destroyer.
And yet, by a stroke of luck, they had witnessed the end of a Star Destroyer's life with their own eyes in a livestream.
The shock was enough to shake them to their core and leave them with an unforgettable impression for the rest of their lives!
"It's over."
The sinking of Zhuxian Changlin made Richardson's heart plummet.
A long-forgotten sense of despair welled up inside him.
