Chapter 203: Chapter 203: The Consequences of Being Bombed by 10 Satellite Cannons

“Tenfold… Heavenly Light!”

In some unknown corner of a bird-shit-laden star system in an unnamed universe, a roar that originated from yet another unknown universe suddenly pierced the sky. This abrupt roar, which had gone horribly off-key during its long distance transmission, startled countless birds and beasts mid-copulation in the forest and also roused a blue glowing entity that was napping atop a bell tower. Gaia rubbed her sleepy eyes and then, somewhat troubled, looked at the panel floating before her—a panel only she could see—where the planetary energy load was suddenly skyrocketing. In a languid voice, she asked, “Is the Emperor… about to launch a slaughter campaign?”

After this remark, Gaia continued to hang on the bell tower, watching the distant sky where the faint glimmers of ten points of light were visible—that was the flash of the Super Space-Time Armor’s Main Cannon from the satellites in low Earth orbit. Then, she sighed dejectedly.

“When will I ever stop playing this dead extra’s role? Those two crafty girls, Alaya and Pandora have both found excuses to skip out… I’ve got to find an excuse too…”

What’s the sight like when ten Satellite Cannons fire at once?

Regrettably, as the one who caused this incident, I didn’t see a thing. However, Anwina, who had dashed out like a bolt of lightning covering a full two kilometers, saw the entire unprecedented forest arson incident in full view.

The completely obedient Anwina, upon receiving the command, had dashed towards the distant horizon until a burst of intense white light from behind suddenly made her turn her head in astonishment.

Above the wildly expanding black fog, a colossal rift in space tore through Tirisfal’s gloomy skies. In that black space vortex filled with heart-palpitating energy, dark purple lightning composed of uncontrolled Ghost Energy kept leaping around, making thunderous noises that shook the heavens. Within less than five seconds, this space rift rapidly expanded to the same size as the dark fog below.

Along with a deep rumble, ten beams of blinding light, each several dozen meters in diameter, suddenly pierced through the darkness of the spatial vortex. The massive energy surge even dispersed all the clouds within a hundred miles, and for the first time, brilliant sunlight burst through the polluted skies of Tirisfal. But in the next moment, this just-strutting sunlight was ruthlessly ousted by another overpoweringly bright light source, and it exited the stage dimmed by the dazzling light of the ten Satellite Cannons.

Ten brilliant white beams formed a massive ring, surging with a formidable momentum as they plunged into the patch of black fog on the ground. As an Abyss with consciousness of its own, the fog, overwhelmed by a strong sense of crisis, made a rather wise decision: to disperse!

That’s right, it didn’t concentrate its forces to resist the terrifying satellite rays; instead, it diffused wildly. This proud life-saving skill was what the Abyss boasted of; although its power was not outstanding among all Abysses, this tenacious survival skill allowed it to live smoothly until now within the cruel Domain of the Abyss. It could turn itself into a wave of energy-laden black smoke, which not only had the ability to devour and enslave living beings within but also allowed it to escape catastrophe when heavily injured. As long as it was not completely dispelled, even a wisp of smoke could lead to its rapid resurrection. This was why Sylvanas and I were helpless in the smoke just now: we both could easily injure the Abyss, but it was hard to launch a range attack spanning several kilometers without leaving a single square centimeter of dead space. For us, this stubborn enemy was just like Xing Shi, who defected from Athena to join the Chung Ge Sect—not impressive in offensive capability, but its endurance and infinite resurrection were just sickening…

Luckily, I had a trump card…

Though the black smoke successfully dispersed beyond the direct range of the satellite rays, the simultaneous firing of the ten Satellite Cannons brought me a little surprise—intense energy interference from the concentrated satellite rays caused them to erupt dramatically. The originally scattered ten white beams slowly fused after two seconds and intensified into a terrifying beam, probably half a kilometer in diameter, around which space itself appeared twisted. Within two or three meters closest to the beam, space even cracked inch by inch amidst a grating sound that made one’s teeth itch.

Anwina stared dumbfounded at this scene. Regardless of how thick-skinned she was, she knew that in the next moment, a huge surprise was about to descend. Her entire body bristled with alarm. In the face of such a great crisis, she unleashed all the remaining Holy Power in her body and began to flee desperately into the distance.

“Wu wu wu… Master… please just wait a little longer…”

A certain unidentified glowing body shouted in panic, its cries echoing across the heavens.

Seconds later, when our spotlight miss finally moved to a relatively safe position, the dreadful column of light, pushed to its limit by the energy interference, finally erupted.

There was no deafening explosion, no earth-shattering tremor; the column of light silently transformed into a sky-covering white halo. Beneath the halo, the solid earth rapidly turned into magma, then evaporated like ice thrown into a furnace.

Ten seconds later, a rumbling roar reached us from the point of the energy explosion; the sound of boiling magma rapidly evaporating. As for that unlucky Abyss with the bug-like skill, it had long since gloriously become part of Azeroth’s atmosphere.

Using anti-aircraft guns to shoot mosquitoes, this quite fits the situation of this battle. Against an Abyss that theoretically could be instantly killed by a Leader Level Xyrin Apostle, I had to use the terrifying ten Satellite Cannons. It was only by the annihilative energy reaction produced by these cannons that I barely managed to eliminate the enemy, and the wastage of firepower during this time was enough for little loli Pandora, who prides herself as a war genius, to give me a forty-eight-hour basic fire control lecture.

Ten Satellite Cannons… Using them to level a medium to large-sized city would still be wasteful, yet I used them to deal with a Black Egg no bigger than a fist after compression. This fully proves that sometimes, even if you don’t have overwhelming power, just having a freakish skill can change the situation drastically. It’s just like how a level-20 Holy Knight using a “Stove Stone” encased in an eggshell can make a level 70 Elite Monster grind their teeth in frustration. But even this Abyss, with nearly undead abilities, was vaporized by me, which means that no matter how heaven-defying your skills are, when your enemy’s strength reaches a level that frightens even ghosts and gods, eventually you’ll meet a tragic end. It’s like when you open that eggshell and rub the “Stove Stone,” and suddenly a hundred-plus Priests, high as kites, come and cast Dispel on you—it’s a gut-wrenching experience.

So, you see, life is always full of variables…

I know I’ve been lamenting for far too long, to the point of almost talking nonsense, but…

Who the hell is going to tell me how to charge from ten kilometers of magma over to the land on the other side!

This is truly tragic. The energy interference between satellite rays was something I hadn’t anticipated; the power of the laser beams, enhanced several dozen times over, destroyed the multitude of defense systems I’d set up in less than ten seconds. As the black smoke overhead finally cleared, what I saw was a terrifying sight of the nearby ground, and Sylvanas, being melted by a pervasive white light from the sky.

They say that in dire straits, humans can explode with unparalleled potential. How true that statement is, I just had a burst. I actually managed, on my own spiritual power, to create a Void Channel, drawing from the Endless Void massive amounts of Tai Chu Energy to annihilate the incoming Energy Storm. Though the remaining Energy Storm lasted less than five seconds, those were the most terrifying five seconds of its power. Now, brothers, I can proudly declare that I’ve stood against the firepower of ten Armed Satellites!

And that is a conservative estimate; in the final energy eruption, the power exceeded that of ten Armed Satellites!

But—see, here comes that dramatic word again—it seems the Void Barrier (that’s a decent name, yeah?) I just grasped uses quite a bit of energy. Combined with the consumption from establishing a connection with the ten Satellite Cannons, controlling the defense systems, and the split-second of enduring with the Spirit Barrier before the Void Barrier appeared, my spiritual power appears to have bottomed out… Really bottomed out, to the point where I don’t even have the budget to open My Personal Space and find a rocket pack, let alone heroically traverse this expanse of magma that’s conservatively estimated to be tens of kilometers wide…

If it weren’t for my robust physical condition, it’d be doubtful whether I could have endured the high temperatures of the surrounding magma and poisonous volcanic steam.

“It’s pretty hot today, huh…” I awkwardly wiped the sweat beads from my forehead and gave a sheepish smile to Her Majesty the Queen beside me.
