Space-Based Orbital Cannon

Nearly a hundred missiles, including those fired from the ocean and into the sky, left spectacular white trails in their wake. Ren did not dodge; he simply continued to advance in the sky, maintaining his normal standing posture.

The missile, enhanced by both technology and magic, exploded less than three meters from Ren.

The shockwave and gunpowder from the explosion completely enveloped Ren's figure, leaving only a scorching fireball in the sky for a moment.

The scorching heat and missile debris even interfered with Ren's radar imagery.

For a fleeting moment, the observers even thought they had wiped out the enemies from Itogami Island.

However, the strong winds over the Pacific Ocean quickly dispersed the smoke.

As the wreckage fell into the sea, Ren reappeared in the radar images.

Moreover, as they got closer, some crew members could even see with the naked eye the figure that was constantly moving towards them.

The soldiers on deck, clutching their guns, stared in disbelief at the figure.

Humans, orcs, and even vampires—the many demonic soldiers—could not fathom how a human who had been hit by hundreds of missiles was still alive.

Could it be a weapon of war created by Sacred Annihilation Magic?

It was simply made into the shape of a human.

If that's the case, then it makes sense.

Otherwise, how could human flesh and blood possibly withstand the steel torrent of the institutional army?!

At the same time.

Discussions in the live stream room, with Aiba Asagi providing technical support, have already exploded.

They all speculated about who Ren really was.

Who on earth is this deity who dares to confront the Sanctuary Treaty Organization Military, and even... gained the upper hand in a round of battle, demonstrating a terrifying power that completely ignores firearms?

Meanwhile, those stranded at Itogami Island Airport and the pier seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

They had originally wanted to leave the island with their families out of fear of war, but now they saw that the situation was completely different from what they had imagined.

However, compared to the slightly excited people on Itogami Island, the soldiers of the Organization Army were completely shocked by Ren's performance.

But the commander was not intimidated by Ren's bluff.

Ignoring his subordinates' suggestions to request the True Ancestor's assistance, the commander issued orders to use laser weapons and authorized the activation of Heavenly Strike Weapon.

Meanwhile, the missile offensive did not stop. The third wave of hundreds of missiles arrived as scheduled, and at the same time, the laser weapons on the escort ships completed their charging. Then, four high-energy beams tore through the air and shot straight at Ren's location.

"Monster!"

After the laser weapon finished firing, the commander couldn't help but clench his fist as he looked at the still-alive figure.

He then turned to the communications officer and said coldly.

"How are the preparations for the space-based weapons going?"

"The countdown has begun."

"Laser media has entered an abnormal distribution state."

"The aircraft was confirmed to be experiencing vibrations caused by resonant shockwaves."

"Adjusting refrigerant circulation flow rate, quality allocation in progress."

"Approaching practical critical output, 9,200 gigawatts per second."

The communications officers continued to broadcast reports, while the tip of the Heavenly Strike Weapon located in outer space began to emit a bright light.

The light resonance conduit laid inside began to resonate, causing the huge column-shaped structure, resembling a vacuum tube, to emit light, with an output of up to nine thousand gigawatts per second, enough to rival the annual power consumption of an island nation.

Even a familiar of a vampire ancestor would be unable to escape the wrath of this attack.

This weapon was originally designed for large-scale ground attacks. There are fewer than three such weapons operating in outer space worldwide, and only two of them are fully functional.

One is the Heavenly Strike Weapon possessed by Itogami Island, but its power is much smaller than that of the Heavenly Strike Weapon of the Sanctuary Organization Army.

"Thirty seconds left!"

The communicator's voice reached the commander's ears.

At the same time, the countdown began, counting down from twenty-nine to twenty-eight, twenty-seven...

This caused even the commander, who was using this weapon for the first time, to tremble slightly.

Meanwhile, in an effort to halt Ren's advance, the naval fleet, air combat ships, drones, and fighter jets relentlessly fired machine guns and missiles at Ren.

As the sphere, shrouded in thick smoke and explosions, continued to advance, the spirits of all the combatants sank to rock bottom.

"The growth rate has reached a critical point."

"Suppress the stance, allow for dissolution."

"Five, four, three, two, one..."

"Emission!"

Immediately afterwards, a powerful light burst forth on the screen, a light strong enough to burn everything and illuminate the sky.

A satellite orbiting tens of thousands of kilometers away from Earth vibrated, and its massive muzzle spewed out scorching Lightning.

At the moment of firing, you will see it spew out a ball of light, which is the result of the burning of residue inside the gun barrel.

It utilizes the principles of past laser weapons and combines them with current technology to amplify them dozens of times.

Compared to simple beam weapons, attacks that emerge from space have no visible optical axis.

However, once it enters the atmosphere and comes into contact with dust and other substances in the air, it appears as a straight beam of light.

From a distance, it looks like a sharp sword hanging from the sky, or perhaps a divine punishment.

Chapter 356 Space-Based Orbital Cannon

Although the distance to the target is tens of thousands of kilometers, the laser, traveling at the speed of light, only takes less than a second.

Pulled by Earth's gravity, the trajectory of the laser was slightly distorted, but even so, it still shot straight toward Ren.

As it reached the top of Ren' head, missiles and drones were hovering overhead, but all the matter hit by the laser vanished without a trace.

The light engulfed Ren completely and struck the sea below.

The surging seawater was instantly evaporated by the scorching beam of light. Marine life along the way turned into dry sand and scattered when it came into contact with the beam. The reefs turned into charcoal in less than 0.01 seconds, leaving behind a cloud of dust that could hardly be called debris.

The beam of light emitted by the space-based weapon created a vacuum tunnel in Earth's atmosphere.

The aftershocks produced white steam comparable to that of a nuclear explosion, but the impact of this attack went far beyond that.

The evaporating cavity at the center was once again filled with seawater from all around, and the tsunami generated by the explosion rushed in all directions at an extremely high speed.

The Sanctuary Organization Army also experienced a temporary communication failure due to this attack, and the static image covering the screen showed no signs of dissipating for a short period of time.

All patrol aircraft, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, and video recording devices malfunctioned, and even surveillance satellites in outer space lost contact.

Due to the electromagnetic wave barrier created by the massive energy surge, most of the electronic screens of the Sanctuary Organization Army were covered with jumbled static.

There wasn't even a cough on the radio.

However, in the face of the approaching tsunami, a huge barrier appeared around the fleet of the Sanctuary Organization Army, enveloping the fleet, as did the flying combat ships in the sky.

It was clearly the true vampire progenitor hidden within the fleet who made the move.

Not long after, the messenger's report came through.

"Laser hit confirmed."

After he finished speaking, there was no cheering or applause from the bridge.

Everyone, including the True Ancestor of Vampires, stared silently at the white steam outside.

"What about the target?"

The commander on the aircraft carrier's bridge unconsciously gripped the handrail and asked a question.

However, the scene before them was shrouded in thick steam, making it impossible to see anything inside.

"Due to the influence of electromagnetic waves and steam, observation is temporarily impossible."

"Check quickly until you get detailed information!"

Even so, the other crew members who came to their senses wore dazed expressions.

Is it over?

After all, under these circumstances, it's really hard to imagine what carbon-based life form in the world could withstand such a powerful attack.

Even a True Ancestor would be completely vaporized in an instant if they didn't react in time.

Not only were the Sanctuary Organization Army watching the situation on the scene, but people all over the world who were following the live broadcast were also on tenterhooks.

However, with the live stream now interrupted, they can only watch helplessly.

"Mogwai, hurry up and fix the surveillance satellite!"

Sitting in front of the computer, Aiba Asagi roared with all her might.

The power of this attack from the Sky Strike Weapon even surpassed that of the True Ancestor of Vampires. No matter how much she trusted Ren before, it was difficult for her to remain calm after witnessing the power of this attack.

"It's being repaired, it's being repaired. Although I think the chances of survival are very low, humanity's current level of technology is no longer what it was thousands of years ago."

The Mogwai, possessing Cain part of Cain's personality, murmured.

Although his past technology, "Holy Annihilation," did indeed cause great trouble for the Heavenly Tribe, thousands of years have passed, and human technological development is vastly different now.

Aside from some technologies involving other realms not being fully developed, the destructive power of his weapons is actually no less than that of his Sacred Annihilation Magic.

Take, for example, the sky-based Heavenly Strike Weapon.

Without the protection of the true vampire ancestor, a single shot would be enough to completely obliterate the capital of a country.

Like the Sword of Damocles, it hangs in the orbit of the satellite, leaving most countries in the world with no choice but to join the Sanctuary Treaty Organization in order to seek peace.

Although only one is currently usable, with enough money, it's entirely possible to manufacture a second or even a third.

The Artificial Management Corporation on Itogami Island also possesses a Heavenly Strike Weapon.

However, in terms of power, it is far less than that of the Sanctuary Organization Army.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Aiba Asagi's eyes were a little red.

She was different from other girls.

Ren was the one who saved her mother, and he held extraordinary significance for her.

And only her voice echoed throughout the entire room.

"What... what's going on?"

Himeragi Yukina murmured to herself, her face also showing a dazed expression.

Unconsciously turning her head to look at her friend beside her, she found that Kirasaka Sayaka was standing there blankly, completely stunned.

The vampire sisters looked on in disbelief.

Nagisa Akatsuki and Yase Kanon were already hugging each other and crying their eyes out.

After all, live streaming is for everyone.

The eleven hosts remained silent, their the Original fangs biting their lips, drawing blood. "Why didn't this guy ask me for help? If I used the Vajra of the Divine Ram, I could..."

That being said, it's just hindsight.

Whether the power of the Vajra of the Divine Ram can withstand that Heavenly Strike Weapon is another matter entirely.

In the worst-case scenario, she might be blasted to smithereens along with everyone else.

Aya Tokoyogi glanced at Nangong Nayue and noticed that the other woman was also frowning and silent.

I wanted to say something, but I sat back down.

At this point, all we can do is wait.

But what can we wait for?

"Young Miss, the image has appeared. It's exhausted me!"

The Mogwai voice rang out.

The sudden restoration of the live stream caused Nangong Nayue's hand, which was gripping the armrest, to tremble slightly before she stared at the screen, which was still shrouded in a cloud of white steam.
