The main cannon of Star Origin began charging immediately. Accompanied by a violent expansion of energy, a terrifying beam of light instantly pierced the void, striking one of the Tier 3 War Centipedes head-on!
The horrifying power erupted, and the War Centipede, whose defensive capabilities were slightly inferior to a Six-Legged Great Beetle, had half its body blown apart by the direct hit!
Highly corrosive green blood mixed with shards of hard armor scattered in all directions. The remaining nine War Centipedes reacted quickly, gathering a massive amount of energy.
Dodging the Zerg's bio-energy attacks, Ilde raised an eyebrow.
"It seems the Starfire humans previously shattered the bio-fields of these bio-warships; otherwise, they wouldn't be so fragile."
According to calculations, if one accounted for the bio-warships' inherently powerful bio-shields (fields), the Fierce Star cannon shot, which only had a seventy percent success rate just now, would not have been enough to kill a War Centipede outright.
Feng Xiao laughed heartily, maneuvering Star Origin to charge at high speed toward the remaining bio-warships. Without shields, the War Centipedes posed almost no threat.
The four ship cannons bombarded them at high speed, the violent explosions leaving several Tier 2 War Centipedes dizzy and disoriented, their bio-fields, which had barely recovered, dimming once more.
However, a swarm is a swarm; even after being thrown into disarray by the sudden, intense attack, they quickly returned to a combat-ready state.
Four War Centipedes braced against the cannon fire to entangle Star Origin, while the remaining Tier 3 War Centipede and four Tier 2 War Centipedes focused their fire together!
Several rays with extremely high energy-corrosion properties struck Star Origin's side shield directly, and the shield value, which had been as high as 6000, plummeted!
[Shield: 4800]
Feng Xiao was inwardly startled, but at that moment, the Fierce Star main cannon's cooldown finished again. An incomparably brilliant light converged, and a powerful energy fluctuation erupted.
Not only did the Zerg bio-warships pause, but even the three people on Star Origin were stunned.
Artillery Master!
The extremely low-probability triple damage!
Almost in the blink of an eye, a red beam with power surging to over four thousand pierced through the entire bio-fleet, striking three or four Tier 2 War Centipedes in its path and the Tier 3 War Centipede that was the primary target.
Without the slightest power to resist, the majority of their bodies were disintegrated into ash. The remaining energy wave, after heavily damaging the bio-fleet, even instantly wiped out a massive city filled with Zerg on the planet below!
Although it sounded like only triple damage, when three times the energy is concentrated into a single beam, the attack power is far more than just three times greater!
Having lost the primary lethality of the Tier 3 War Centipedes, the four or five Tier 2 War Centipedes were quickly eliminated. From the start of the engagement to the end of the fierce battle, only forty minutes had passed!
"Are you sure the swarm won't come back to reinforce?"
Wang Hao quickly replied, "The entire area around the planet is covered in Li-style Particles, ensuring a complete blockade."
Feng Xiao relaxed slightly. If a small swarm discovered their sneak attack, Star Origin's combat power would definitely not be able to hold out for five days.
"Then let's start searching for that damn Zerg Queen. Deploy all nuclear weapons immediately!"
Ilde nodded and opened the ship's built-in missile bays. Ten oval-shaped vector-thrust missiles detached immediately and flew toward the planet's surface.
Seconds later, accompanied by ten massive pillars of light visible from Star Origin and nuclear explosion clouds rising violently from various parts of the planet, terrifying infrasonic and thermal waves swept across most of the surface!
A full three billion tons of nuclear explosive power, combined with the fact that the detonation points were all major volcanoes and tectonic veins, caused destruction far exceeding the theoretical lethality!
Terrifying earthquakes and volcanic eruptions swept across the land within ten minutes, and monstrous tsunamis surged toward the coasts. In a short time, most of the Zerg soldiers were wiped out!
It wasn't until two days later, when all the aftershocks and large-scale disasters had vanished, that Star Origin slowly descended into the planet's stratosphere.
Ignoring the radiation from the radioactive clouds, Feng Xiao and Wang Hao looked at the scene with faces full of awe.
At this moment, nearly 95% of the sky was shrouded in radioactive cumulus clouds, the ocean was still churning incessantly, and small earthquakes occurred on land from time to time.
Three billion tons, all of which were nuclear fusion optimized to the extreme by interstellar technology—although they had become 'primitive weapons' that basically any planetary shield could block, one could not deny that under the right conditions, their lethality was still terrifying!
Ilde, however, felt a bit regretful. "If we could get our hands on antimatter or dark matter missiles, shattering this planet wouldn't be difficult. If they were restricted-class, even destroying an entire galaxy would be easy."
Feng Xiao was speechless.
If he could get his hands on them, he would have done so long ago, but these were all military-restricted weapons; even the Blue Crystal Federation had to import them to obtain a small amount.
Not to mention restricted-class weapons.
He even wanted to get his hands on the dimensional weapons or even rule-based weapons of the powerful human nations.
Never mind destroying a planet; he could even play with dimensional strikes against a non-Tier 6 civilization.
Facing Ilde's longing expression, he could only say helplessly, "I'll let you play with them when there's an opportunity."
"Thank you, Captain!"
The steady Ilde was suddenly excited.
At this moment, the Matrix, which had been operating for dozens of seconds, finally found a suspected target.
[High-level energy reaction detected!]
A high-level energy reaction—aside from those conspicuous Zerg nests and high-tier Zerg units, only a Zerg Queen would have such a reaction!
The high-tier units were basically not here, and the remaining bio-warships had been annihilated, so there was no need to even think about what the remaining high-level energy reaction was.
Too lazy to witness the Zerg Queen's hideous appearance, Feng Xiao's gaze was indifferent.
"Main cannon charging, initiate starship strike!"
Ilde began to operate the controls. The massive ship cannon moved at high speed, countless energy particles converged, and finally, with immense power, it enveloped a canyon.
As the energy waves rippled outward, all matter within a radius of several kilometers, including the canyon itself, was pulverized into its fundamental particle structure.
Had the area-of-effect strike not been disabled, the main cannon of the Fierce Star would have been enough to raze everything within hundreds of square kilometers to the ground!
Even so, the ensuing energy storm completely devastated the entire area for dozens of kilometers.
Without a doubt, the target that had been emitting high-level energy fluctuations had vanished entirely!
[First kill of a Zerg Queen detected]
[Starship evaluation complete]
[Randomizing title... interference detected]
Ignoring the two people celebrating, Feng Xiao returned to the captain's quarters, his face full of anticipation.
"Heart of Dawn!"
[Heart of Dawn (Repaired: 5%)
Detection: Not selected
Lock-on: Not selected
Analysis: Title selection in progress (Expanding)]
He silently commanded it to expand, and a remarkably luxurious panel materialized before him...
[Selecting all titles you have a chance to obtain... Expanding...
Legendary Title x1
Epic Title x1
...]
"Only show Legendary titles!"
Feng Xiao commanded immediately. Titles sounded like high-level augmentation abilities, and their quality could determine almost everything!
[Unique Title: Zerg Hunter]
[Equipping this title grants immediate augmentations against Zerg units and allows for leveling up and accumulating Hunter's Medals by hunting Zerg.
Hunting Zerg units in the main universe also grants Star Point rewards.]
[Level: ★ (Title Level)]

Attack: Increased by 50%
Shield: Increased by 50%
Star Weapon CD: Decreased by 50%
Temporarily gain the 'Zerg Bane' trait

Note: Hunter's Medals obtained at the current title level can only increase the quality of Star Weapons below Red tier (Red tier not included).]
"!!!"
Setting aside the combat power boost and attribute suppression when fighting the Zerg, this Hunter's Medal alone was worth the "Legendary" label!
It could actually upgrade the quality of a Star Weapon!
PS: Brothers, we're getting promoted!
