Give It a Shot
Spatial Virtualization, and everything around became nothingness, leaving only a blurred world composed of thin silver-white lines and countless small black cubes.
In fact, this is not the first time Luo Zhe has entered this state.
The most recent time was more than half a year ago, when he first met Thor in the giant spaceship building at the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall. It was because he entered this state at that time that Luo Zhe was able to comprehend Thor's Blade Intent and break through to the Fourth Layer the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade.
But this time--
A bitter smile appeared on Luo Zhe's lips. So what if his strength improved by leaps and bounds again?
Faced with a massive metal block traveling at one-third the speed of light and with a radius of twenty kilometers, unless he could immediately break through to the Stellar Level, even if he gathered the power of all Earth Humans, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
There's no way to stop it!
suddenly--
Laugh!
Countless dazzling, brilliant, and breathtaking white beams of light suddenly shone from somewhere in the illusory world, then shot straight into the distant depths shrouded in darkness.
Luo Zhe's heart skipped a beat. "A Laser Cannon? We still have hope!?"
Immediately, Luo Zhe's gaze dimmed again. Even Laser Cannon probably wouldn't be able to turn the tide.
"Owner!"
A deep, resonant sound, like a majestic celestial chant, echoed from the end of the white pillar of light.
Luo Zhe subconsciously looked up, puzzled, and asked, "Whose voice is that? Is someone calling me?"
In the infinitely distant reaches of that illusory world, a long Bronze Long Staff, its surface covered in Earth-Yellow Inscriptions, was breaking free from the countless chains that had appeared from the void and were hurtling towards him.
"Master, I'm here!" The Bronze Long Staff staff shone with a dazzling Azure Radiance, and its speed increased rapidly!
Just as Luo Zhe was about to ask a question, he suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes, and the illusory world collapsed in an instant, with everything around him returning to reality.
"Quickly, quick, Laser Cannon, calibrate the direction!" Thor suddenly roared.
The others in the cabin were also excitedly talking about something, while Hong was anxiously speaking to the intelligent Auxiliary Optical Computer, but Luo Zhe couldn't hear him clearly. At this moment, the word "Master" was still echoing in his ears!
"Master? Is that Bronze Long Staff calling me?" Luo Zhe murmured.
Eight minutes to go.
"How can we not be able to confirm the rendezvous point!" Hong roared. "Professor, we only have eight minutes left. If we don't do something, the Earth is truly doomed!"
"Master, it's not that I don't want to confirm."
Professor Flamenco's voice came through the Smart Optical Computer, he said with concern, "But that suspected metallic planetary fragment is still accelerating and its angle is constantly making subtle adjustments. If we rely solely on current computers for calculations, even 24 hours wouldn't be enough. In a short time, it's really impossible to completely determine the rendezvous point."
"Bang!" Hong angrily hung up the phone.
Thor patted Hong on the shoulder, comforting him, "Brother Hong, with the Asteroid traveling at one-third the speed of light, pinpointing the exact rendezvous point is really a bit difficult for the professor."
Hong took a deep breath, nodded, and indicated that he understood.
"Number Nine, is there any way to make the Laser Cannon accurately hit the Asteroid debris?" Hong asked the Auxiliary Optical Computer in his hand.
A series of numbers flashed across the Optical Computer screen, and everyone's eyes turned to Hong.
Six minutes and fifty seconds left.
After a calculation lasting one minute and ten seconds, the Intelligent System "Number Nine" gave its first response. Hong and his colleagues were Supreme Treasure and immediately notified the researchers outside to adjust the angle according to the positioning.
Five minutes and fifty-seven seconds left.
After the researchers completed the setup, countless Laser Cannon resembling giant crystal sculptures lit up with white light. The white light circled the cannon barrel, making the entire barrel extremely dazzling.
Luo Zhe and the others couldn't sit still in the cabin, so they all flew into the air to watch.
"We're ready," Luo Zhe whispered. "We can attack now."
"What are we waiting for? We can attack now," Thor couldn't help but say.
"It's alright, don't rush, don't rush. It's not time for the first pre-set rendezvous point yet, let's wait a little longer." Hong swallowed hard, staring intently at the countless Laser Cannon that were flashing white light.
Five minutes and fifty-three seconds left.
A small red light bulb on the right side of the Laser Cannon flashed, and all the Laser Cannon immediately received the transmission signal from the Intelligent System! Instantly, countless dazzling white beams of light shot out from the cannon barrels, turning the dark universe into daylight!
This white beam of light that had captivated Luo Zhe and the others would strike the planetary debris in a minute and a half.
Five minutes and forty-nine seconds left.
All the researchers are frantically adjusting the settings; they are racing against time, fighting against death!
"Report: Laser Cannon No. 1 is overheating; it can fire one more attack at its highest frequency!"
"Report: Laser Cannon No. 27's barrel is damaged and it cannot carry out an attack!"
"Report: Laser Cannon No. 43 has malfunctioned!"
"Laser Cannon No. 179 is damaged and unusable!"
When it rains, it pours!
The successive high-power attacks caused the Laser Cannon to malfunction or even be damaged. Hearing this series of upgrades, the six people watching felt a chill in their hearts.
"Is the heavens truly going to destroy our Earth?"
Luo Zhe couldn't help but sigh, and exchanged a glance with Thor. Both of them saw the weariness and despondency in each other's eyes.
Hong remained silent, his face cold, and simply continued issuing task commands via the Auxiliary Optical Computer.
Four minutes and twenty-three seconds left.
As planned, the previous salvo of Laser Cannon had already resulted in a second direct encounter with the planetary debris.
Four minutes and seven seconds left.
Hong coldly issued the launch order!
Four minutes to go.
Earth-based astronomical observation centers have captured images of Asteroid debris following the previous salvo. The results show that the center of the debris is completely intact, with only about one-fifth of the debris missing from the edges.
This result greatly dampened everyone's enthusiasm and confidence, but the researchers are still carrying out the final adjustments in an orderly manner.
However, at this point, there were fewer than one hundred Laser Cannon capable of supporting the third Laser Cannon's highest power strike in normal operation, less than half of the initial number.
Two minutes and three seconds left.
As the last beam of light shot out, almost none of the Laser Cannon scattered all around were functioning properly.
The second detection revealed that the suspected metallic planetary fragment was traveling at two-thirds the speed of light, or 200,000 kilometers per second, but at the same time, it had dwindled to a volume of less than ten kilometers in radius!
This news undoubtedly gave everyone a much-needed boost!
Meanwhile, in the starry sky, a bright white light could be seen in the direction from which the Asteroid debris had traveled, standing out brightly against the surrounding dim stars!
Hong, dressed in a black Battle Suit and wielding a long gun, spread his domain and "said" to the crowd. "Now, the size of that planetary debris is less than ten kilometers! If we just put in a little more effort, we can completely intercept it in space!"
Donning a Black God Set and wielding a War Blade, the previously bald middle-aged man now appeared quite solemn, his voice booming like thunder. "Gentlemen, please think of our compatriots anxiously waiting on Earth, think of our ignorant and bewildered relatives on Earth, and then think of ourselves. Without Earth, what are we? Rootless duckweed!"
The Ice Snow Emperor Mo Henderson, the former only Planetary Level Spirit Reader on Earth, Ister, Fifth Speaker Atkin were all fully armed and looked ready to fight to the death.
Luo Zhe silently put on the SS-class Combat Suit given to him by Thor, held the undamaged War Blade in his hand, and looked at the increasingly bright starlight.
Bring it on, whatever it may be!
