Free Web NovelChapter 678: Chapter 494: Antimatter Bomb (Part 2)
"It’s nothing."
"Probably star thieves."
"I reckon they’re star thieves from other galaxies, otherwise, they’d never dare to run wild on Kebi Star."
All those Star Lords didn’t take it seriously.
They didn’t believe that hundreds of cosmic battleships could shake the Kebi Race.
If that were the case, they wouldn’t possibly have become the most powerful civilization in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Originally, everyone thought this way, with no worries at all.
However, things took a turn that caught everyone by surprise.
...
About half an hour later, while chatting with Lu Li, Lupar, and others, Didan seemed to receive some rather bad news, and his face suddenly changed color.
Didan hurriedly apologized to everyone, "Land God, Venerable Lupar, and everyone else, there’s something I need to handle. Please wait here for a moment."
After saying this, he didn’t give others a chance to speak and rushed out.
Saint Garo sensed something amiss and hurriedly looked at Lu Li, asking, "Land God, did the cosmic battleships sent out by the Kebi Race encounter failure, that’s why Didan..."
Lupar, Liu Kexin, and Dapu all looked at Lu Li.
"Yes," Lu Li replied very succinctly, "All twenty Destroyer battleships were annihilated."
Upon hearing this, De Kuerde was shocked, "Wha... what? All twenty Destroyer battleships were annihilated?"
Dapu inhaled slightly, "Destroyer battleships are specifically designed to deal with cosmic battleships. Their cost is ten times that of super cosmic battleships. Even one Destroyer can easily annihilate twenty cosmic battleships, yet the Kebi Race sent twenty and they were all wiped out? How... how is this possible!"
Although Lupar was also a bit shocked, he quickly asked the key question, "Land God, how were those twenty Destroyer battleships destroyed?"
Lu Li replied, "Among those hundreds of cosmic battleships, there’s a red one. It not only easily discovered the invisible Destroyer battleships, but also raised a quantum disintegration cannon, and then the twenty Destroyers were hit and dissolved away."
Balabamo was shocked, "Do those cosmic battleships all possess such a near science-fiction-level weapon as a quantum disintegration cannon?"
Quantum weapons are different from ordinary weapons, as they use the principles of quantum mechanics to manipulate particle-level forces, resulting in both micro and macro transformations.
They can instantly produce tremendous destructive power, even altering the structure of matter.
For example, in a technological civilization, to destroy a star system usually requires launching a stellar cannon, detonating the star’s interior, and the terrifying power from the star’s explosion would then engulf the surroundings, naturally destroying the star system.
Quantum weapons are different; they can unleash terrifying power to enshroud the entire star system and then instantly dissolve it.
Yes, dissolve it instantly.
Such a near science-fiction weapon, even a level three civilization like the Kebi Race has not developed it.
Only the Hercules-Bootes Great Wall, a level four civilization called the Martial Hero Race, has developed it not long ago.
Moreover, such a terrifying weapon can only be ordered into use by the Supreme Monarch of the Martial Hero Race, who is heralded as the Cosmic Emperor, the Eternal Night King.
The emergence of quantum weapons here has left Lupar, Saint Garo, and Kaimao all horrified.
With Kebi Star... no, even the technology level of the Galaxy Alliance couldn’t withstand quantum weapons!
Lupar, wide-eyed and open-mouthed, said, "Land God, there’s a quantum disintegration weapon in the Prophet’s battleship, why did you just say ’it’s okay’? This kind of weapon isn’t unbeatable in the universe, but at least in the Milky Way Galaxy, it’s definitely an unbeatable existence!"
Saint Garo nodded in deep agreement, "Yes, quantum weapons are indeed terrifying. It’s said the Martial Hero Race possesses quantum weapons that can even destroy a star system group the size of the Milky Way Galaxy!"
"The quantum weapons of the Martial Hero Race are really powerful," Lu Li casually remarked, "But it seems like the Prophet just developed quantum weapons, I think their power is quite ordinary. At most, they can only destroy one or two stellar systems instantly, indeed not much."
Lupar: "..."
Liu Kexin: "..."
Saint Garo and others: "..."
Everyone couldn’t help but wipe their foreheads, thinking that when you say ’it’s okay,’ you mean a weapon terrifying enough to destroy one or two stellar systems?
At this moment, everyone didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Just as Dapu was about to say something more,
Lu Li added, "Actually, when I said ’it’s okay,’ I wasn’t referring to the quantum weapons, but that among them, there is a green cosmic battleship with an antimatter bomb inside. If it explodes, the destructive force might cover an area as massive as twenty light-years."
Antimatter bomb?
Can its explosive force affect twenty light-years?
The group nearly fainted from fright.
The races represented by these bigwigs here don’t lack the capability to develop antimatter bombs. After all, such a weak Earth civilization has already managed to create antihydrogen atoms. How could these level two, level three civilizations not develop antimatter weapons? However, antimatter bombs are just too dangerous, and have been a banned weapon within the Milky Way Galaxy.
Except for the four major level three civilizations, no other races are permitted to possess antimatter weapons, much like nuclear weapon treaties on Earth.
If anyone broke the rules, they’d face collective punishment from the four major level three civilizations.
Thus, research into antimatter weapons isn’t very advanced.
Currently, the most powerful antimatter weapons owned by the four major level three civilizations can at best destroy an area spanning three to five light-years.
There’s no way around it; antimatter is incredibly hard to preserve. It annihilates immediately upon contact with regular matter, releasing unimaginably terrifying power, so the more powerful the antimatter weapon, the more difficult it is to develop.
Now that everyone heard the Prophet developed an antimatter bomb powerful enough to cover twenty light-years, they all jumped in shock once more.
Such a massive destructive antimatter bomb couldn’t possibly be stopped by Kebi Star’s ion defense shield!
Frightened.
Everyone was terrified.
Lupar’s hands were trembling as he weakly asked, "Land God, could you destroy the antimatter bomb?"
Dapu, Saint Garo, De Kuerde, and Balabamo instantly had a realization.
Though antimatter weapons are fearsome, with Land God’s presence here, maybe there’s still a chance for survival.
Everyone had faith that Lu Li had the capability to destroy the antimatter bomb before it exploded.
As for afterward...
Well, they figured even someone as divine as Lu Li might not dare face it.
In everyone’s minds, Lu Li was indeed formidable, but his displayed strongest individual power was that of destroying stellar systems.
Of course, everyone knew he could split into billions of "Yang God" clones, but that was about number, not necessarily individual strength.
One can best destroy a stellar system expressed at highest potential.
The other can obliterate everything within a twenty-light-year range.
Everyone knows which holds more power.
Thus, Lupar, Kaimao, and others all believed that if Lu Li wanted to destroy the antimatter bomb, he must act before such a fearsome weapon explodes.
Otherwise, apart from Lu Li who might have a chance of survival, everyone else would be dead.
Lu Li sensed everyone’s thoughts and couldn’t help but laugh softly.
He amusedly looked at them, "Do you think once the antimatter bomb explodes, I won’t be able to handle it?"
"Uh..."
"No, no."
"How could we think that way?"
Everyone promptly denied it. Although they did think that way, they couldn’t possibly say it to Lu Li, a True God, right in his face, lest they earn his enmity.
Being hated by common folk is not an issue. Being hated by a deity is terrifying.
Lu Li said coolly, "You don’t have to deny it. I mentioned before that I can sense every creature’s inner thoughts."
The group awkwardly didn’t know how to respond.
Lu Li offhandedly commented, "Now it’s a little too late to ask me to destroy the antimatter bomb. It’s already been launched, and the antimatter has been released from the bomb, currently unleashing great power in space. But don’t worry, I’m here, and no harm will come to you!"
