The Planet-Buster Weapon, "Neutron Annihilation," could destroy all intelligent life on a planet, and the Neutron Gun was a weapon developed using that technology as its blueprint.
At first, the Neutron Gun had been nothing more than an idea proposed by Xianzhou researchers. No one knew whether it could actually be realized.
When Daiyang heard how many Credits had gone into developing the gun, her breath caught.
Even as one of the highest earners in the universe, she could not help wincing at the staggering research costs.
Only after using the gun herself did Daiyang abandon the idea of beating up the researchers.
Soon, these expensive firearms were issued to the Cloud Knights.
Throughout that long war, the Cloud Knights turned their Neutron Guns on the Swarm Offspring and Intellitrons, stripping away their lives in an instant.
A single shot erased their remains with incredible efficiency, much like the corpse-dissolving liquid used to destroy evidence in storybooks.
Even if the Aeon of Propagation had come, there probably would not have been a single insect leg left to save, let alone those Intellitrons-not even a screw remained.
Thanks to these guns, the Cloud Knights could easily help the indigenous inhabitants deal with contamination from the Swarm Offspring.
The Neutron Gun saved countless human lives.

And their all-knowing, all-powerful Marshal naturally knew as well.
Daiyang and her colleagues were baffled, and the Cloud Knights under their command were even more bewildered.
Why had the Marshal chosen to
