Virtual Space, War God Palace.
As Luo Feng finished speaking, the meeting hall fell silent. Everyone quieted down, and even Hong and Thunder God turned to look at him.
"Everyone, weren't you wondering where Yang Zheng had gone?"
Under the gazes of all Earth's elites, Luo Feng continued, "He went to Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 12 and obtained the most powerful single-target weapon on Earth. It should be enough to help us through this crisis."
Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 12 was one of Earth's three deadliest places. Yet Yang Zheng had actually entered it and come away with something.
"What weapon are you referring to, Councilor Luo?" One of the weapons experts stood up and asked expectantly.
"A B6-grade Laser Cannon!"
"What? A B6-grade Laser Cannon!" The moment Luo Feng finished speaking, an elderly white man with disheveled hair exclaimed excitedly, "According to the records I found in the Ancient Civilization Ruins, even interstellar fleets can rarely afford to equip weapons of this grade."
"A B6-grade Laser Cannon can even kill an ordinary Stellar Level Six warrior!"
As the elderly white man explained, he also displayed the information on the laser cannon on the meeting hall's screen.
What?
Everyone present was stunned. The strongest warrior on Earth was only at Planetary Level Seven. Compared to a Stellar Level Six warrior, the gap was an unbridgeable chasm.
But after learning this, they felt more delight than anything else. With such a terrifying weapon on Earth, they might actually be able to resolve the Devouring Beast disaster.
"The laser cannon needs fifty seconds to charge each shot, so whether we can kill it or not, we'll only have one chance."
After reading the information on the laser cannon, Jia Yi's expression grew grave. "If even the B6-grade Laser Cannon can't kill it, we'll have no choice but to prepare Humanity's Species Legacy Plan."
"That's right. The Devouring Beast won't be able to dodge the laser cannon's attack, but if the first shot doesn't kill it, it'll find an opportunity to destroy the cannon. That makes the first shot crucial."
"We have to make sure we kill it with a single shot!"
The human elites present quickly analyzed the laser cannon's strengths and weaknesses and devised a new plan.
Humanity's very survival was at stake. To leave nothing to chance, they would hold the B6-grade Laser Cannon as their trump card and attack with it in conjunction with ultra-high-yield nuclear weapons.
The nuclear weapons and laser cannon combined would deliver the greatest destructive power Earth currently possessed. If even that failed to kill the Devouring Beast, they could only proceed with Humanity's Species Legacy Plan.
The meeting quickly reached a decision. The plan would be carried out that night, at a location within Soviet Russia.
Kyoto Base City, Wangfu Residential Area.
"Jing, Yi, stay home. If there's any danger, take your mother into the Gravity Room upstairs." Fully armed, Wang Jiu gave his family instructions with a grave expression.
After Yang Jing and Yang Yi took their college entrance exams, the whole family had moved to Kyoto City around August. All the equipment from Yang Zheng's Gravity Room had also been moved over and installed on the second floor.
The Gravity Room was made of extremely sturdy materials. Even a Planetary Level Nine expert would struggle to damage it.
"Yanming, be careful." Although Yang Rong was deeply worried, she understood the gravity of the situation.
"Dad, come home soon," Yang Jing and Yang Yi called.
Wang Jiu waved and left. Although information about the Devouring Beast had not yet been made public within the country, all warriors in humanity's base cities had already been mobilized. They were heading to the frontline bases to help the military repel the monsters' attacks.
The base cities were the last soil in which humanity's legacy could take root. No matter how brutal this war became, they had to keep the monsters out.
"Mr. Wang!"
Just as Wang Jiu stepped outside, a white figure suddenly appeared before him. On closer inspection, it was a robot in a white combat suit.
"Who are you?"
Wang Jiu was puzzled.
After the Great Nirvana, Earth's technology had advanced by leaps and bounds through the excavation of the Ancient Civilization Ruins. But intelligent robotics involved a broad range of fields, and the robots' intelligence was still severely lacking.
"I'm the guard robot Master left behind. My duty is to keep you all safe!"
The robot in the white combat suit was, naturally, the female Flowing Silver Guard Yang Zheng had left behind.
"Zheng? How is he? Do you know where he is?" As soon as Wang Jiu heard that his son had left it behind, he began questioning it.
"I don't know!"
The female robot shook its head. Although its intelligence was far from low, Yang Zheng had left no information about his destination when he departed.
"Mr. Wang, if you intend to leave the base city, please consume these before you go!"
Yang Zheng's orders had been to protect his family. Knowing it could not stop Wang Jiu, the female robot activated contingency plan three and took out two small boxes, one black and one white.
"These are... a wood bud crystal? And a plant spirit?"
Wang Jiu opened the black box. Inside was a translucent crystal giving off an enticing fragrance of rice. The other box held a withered yellow branch.
"All right!"
Immediately closing the boxes, Wang Jiu looked at the female Flowing Silver Guard. "Keep Yi and the others safe!"
With that, he immediately went back inside, ready to consume the treasures and break through to the Planetary Level. His comrades, his brothers, were fighting for their lives on the front lines. With humanity's survival at stake, how could he stand aside?
And behind him...
The female robot took out a safe from somewhere. Inside it were twenty identical black boxes.
Whoosh!
A streak of silver light shot up from the ground and flew straight toward Huaxia Country's central government building.
Above Jiangnan Base City.
A streak of light tore swiftly through the sky. Luo Feng wore the Cloud-Soaring Battle Armor and stood on the Sky-Escaping Shuttle, with the Arc Blade Disc held in his right hand.
The Arc Blade Disc and the Sky-Escaping Shuttle were on the same tier. One excelled at escape, the other at offense.
The Devouring Beast crisis was drawing near. Yet the city below seemed unaffected, though an eerie stillness hung over it.
Warriors from every faction had been mobilized and sent to the frontline bases. Even without any public announcement, a mobilization on this scale made ordinary people realize that humanity was probably facing a crisis.
"Luo Feng, six King-level monsters have appeared at the East Sea Base. Please reinforce them immediately! Immediately!" Luo Feng's watch vibrated slightly, and Jia Yi's desperately anxious voice rang in his ears.
"Understood!" Luo Feng replied.
"Luo Feng, we're counting on you!" Jia Yi pleaded.
The councilors varied greatly in strength, and those who could truly
single-handedly kill a whole group of King-level monsters numbered only a handful among humanity-Hong, Thunder God, Luo Feng, Mohanderson, and a few others.
"Scum!"
After ending the call, Luo Feng's gaze turned cold, colder than ever before.
The monster hordes were working with the Golden Horned Beast. The Golden Horned Beast was responsible for destroying all of humanity's frontline bases, while the monsters exploited the chaos, intent on wiping out all humanity in one stroke.
Whoosh!
Standing on the Sky-Escaping Shuttle, Luo Feng became a streak of light and sped toward the Southeast Base.
The plan to deliver the killing blow was still being prepared.
But he could begin slaughtering them first. His fury had been fully ignited, and he had never intended to hold it back.
