Free Web NovelChapter 600: Chapter 466: Shocking the Milky Way Galaxy (Part 1)
The destroyed Psionic star system was like a magnificent display of fireworks.
In the infinite cosmic starry sky, an enormous tree of fire blossomed.
Countless materials spewed out, then were flung to all corners of the endless void.
The chaotic flow of energy caused by the star’s explosion constantly agitated in the depths of the stellar sea, causing a ripple in the once tranquil cosmic space.
Although the Psionic star system was destroyed, causing a huge commotion in the nearby region, for the universe, which spans hundreds of billions, even trillions, of light-years, a star explosion is merely a drop in the ocean.
The cosmos will not ripple due to the destruction of a single star.
The intelligent species living within the universe are different.
They were all deeply shocked by the destruction of the Psionic star system.
The Orion Arm Interstellar Alliance was the first to receive the news and dispatched a fleet of cosmic battleships to observe.
This fleet consisted of only about a dozen cosmic battleships and gathered roughly a million elite warriors from member planets of the Orion Arm Interstellar Alliance.
Though seemingly small in scale, its equipment was top-notch.
Firstly, each of these warriors was battle-hardened, wearing the most advanced combat suits which were equipped with heavy firepower weapons. These suits could traverse starlight in a short time, and if fully charged and augmented with space jump stations nearby, they could perform space jumps without harming the wearer, showcasing their high technological content.
Moreover, each cosmic battleship was equipped with the Destruction God Cannon, one of the most powerful weapons of various interstellar alliances.
Though not capable of blowing up stars like a star cannon to annihilate an entire star system, its direct power exceeded that of a star cannon, capable of blasting both giant planets and smaller brown dwarfs with a single shot. freёwebnovel.com
The reason the Orion Arm Interstellar Alliance deployed such a powerful fleet was to observe the outcome between Lu Li and the Spiritual Race. If Lu Li struggled or slightly gained the upper hand, this fleet would undoubtedly assist the Spiritual Race. However, if Lu Li completely dominated, as in a crushing manner, the fleet would hold its position.
As the second-highest authority within the Orion Arm Interstellar Alliance, Grand Priest Gening personally led the team to complete the mission.
In the command room.
Grand Priest Gening continuously watched the monitoring screen.
Behind him stood dozens of officers from various civilizations and species.
For instance, the Five-Star Admiral Seakma of the Purple Potato Titan Race, the Supreme Silver Radiance Holy Priest Bu Qing of the Silver Tree Race, the chief captain Kegemo of the Black Stone Race’s Rock Legion, and others.
These beings were second only to kings or star lords within their respective intelligent species.
Although the command room was crowded, no one uttered a single word.
It wasn’t because of language barriers but due to everyone’s intense focus on the screen.
At the first sign of movement, they were ready to take action.
Suddenly!
A brilliant light, as intense as a star, shone above the fleet!
Grand Priest Gening jerked his head toward the window.
Seakma did the same.
Bu Qing, Kegemo, and the remaining dozens of commanders from various races looked on in astonishment.
"This intense light’s color..." a large figure resembling an octopus from an intelligent species remarked in a mixture of doubt and wonder, "Doesn’t it look like the divine light of that Earth Guardian God we saw in the probes before?"
Grand Priest Gening nodded, "Indeed, it looks very similar."
A commander resembling a tentacle creature was taken aback, "Didn’t he just go to the Psionic star system? How could he have left so quickly..."
Before he could finish, the tentacle creature commander suddenly realized, eyes wide, "Could he... could he have already wiped out the Spiritual Race?"
They didn’t yet know that what they saw was not Lu Li himself, but a projection of his "Yang spirit."
Indeed, Lu Li didn’t personally destroy the star system; he merely sent a "Yang spirit" to do so.
As for Lu Li himself, after delivering an ultimatum to the Spiritual Ability King and rulers of the Spiritual Race without effect, he had already left in the form of "will."
Mistaken identity aside.
The other issue was that everyone aboard the ship was startled.
"What?"
"So fast?"
"Impossible, right?"
Everyone was somewhat incredulous.
But why didn’t they believe it?
Because just less than ten Earth minutes ago, they had witnessed this brilliant mass of light, like a star, traverse the cosmos and plunge into the Spiritual Planet.
What could be done in ten Earth minutes?
Even with their technology, destroying a planet might not be possible.
After all, regardless of whether it is a planetary cannon, giant cannon, star cannon, or Destruction God Cannon, they all need charging time, which takes substantial time.
For this reason, they instinctively assumed the Psionic star system hadn’t been destroyed.
But Grand Priest Gening’s expression changed, "Immediately dispatch cosmic reconnaissance drones to the Psionic star system to uncover the latest status!"
Cosmic reconnaissance drones are more advanced than detectors, flying over ten times faster, of course, at a high cost.
Unless it’s a special situation, even the fairly wealthy Orion Arm Interstellar Alliance would hesitate to deploy such reconnaissance devices, but now everyone understood it was necessary.
