The Command Center aboard the [Earth] instantly fell silent.
The whispers vanished into thin air, as though they had been struck by the [Matter Disintegration Cannon] and reduced to dust.
But the silence did not last long.
A few seconds later, the Command Center erupted!
Discussion countless times louder than before filled the entire Laboratory.
In the Holographic Projection, the enormous warship, five thousand meters long, crumbled at an astonishing speed under the sickly green beam.
With the final flash of an explosion, the dense "particle mist" scattered outward at tremendous speed.
Illuminated by the flames and the sickly green beam, it formed a bizarre yet magnificent spectacle.

As he watched the slowly expanding miniature nebula, that thought flashed through Yevgeny's mind.
The [Matter Disintegration Cannon] in the Holographic Projection was merely a prototype. It could not even be considered a true first-generation model.
That meant future [Matter Disintegration Cannons] would be smaller and more powerful!
Perhaps one day, even the Carrier-Based Drones equipped with Gravity Shield Disruption Devices would be able to fire those terrifying, sickly green beams!

Not even the latest shipboard Antimatter Cannon.
Even with the Gravity Shield breached, it could not end a battle in a single exchange.
For one thing, the enemy ship could take swift evasive action.
For another, the enemy ship could release a "Matter Barrier" in
