A circular, pointed tip suddenly emerged from the Celestials spacecraft's cannon muzzle.
The rear half of the Celestials spacecraft broke apart, revealing a booster four or five kilometers in diameter behind the front half.
The booster spewed blazing flames, accelerating the Celestials spacecraft as it crashed toward Blue Star.
An expert in the combat command room shouted, "At the Celestials spacecraft's current speed and mass, if it strikes Blue Star, even the planet's crust will be damaged.
"Even if Blue Star does not break apart, it will become a world of magma!"
As the military's commander, Jin Xiangyu immediately issued an order.
"Activate all air-defense systems! We must intercept the Celestials spacecraft outside the atmosphere!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! More than a hundred white smoke trails shot into the sky from Blue Star.
They were Blue Star's strategic missiles.
The missiles flew into space through gaps in the atmosphere.
The instant they left the atmosphere, they collided with the incoming Celestials spacecraft.
Boom, boom, boom! The missiles turned into searing fireballs, linked together in a spectacular sea of flame.
The people in the shelters cried out.
"The missiles hit the Celestials spacecraft!"
"There are more than a hundred strategic missiles! That's enough to destroy an entire fleet, let alone a single Celestials spacecraft."
"This should mean we're safe now, right?"
Everyone stared at the massive fireball in the sky.
Suddenly, the Celestials spacecraft, burned crimson red, burst through the fireball and continued crashing toward the ground.
The people in the shelters screamed.
"Why hasn't the Celestials spacecraft broken apart yet?"
"Is Celestials technology really that advanced?"
"It's over—it's going to hit us!"
"Ahhh! Someone save us!"
"Where is the Nation Lord? Why haven't they awakened the Nation Lord yet?"
Buzz, buzz, buzz. The atmosphere let out a mournful wail.
