King of Assassins-Chapter 176 - 166: The Celestial Mandate Is With Me
Chapter 176: Chapter 166: The Celestial Mandate Is With Me
In the Interstellar Era, humanity’s most powerful technological weapon is the Space War Fortress.
High above Pegasus Star, hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, there is a Space Fortress protecting the planet.
As the ultimate weapon of humanity, the most important armament of the Space Fortress is the Plasma Cannon.
The Plasma Cannon can convert high-temperature ions, millions of degrees, into bombs, with an effective firing range of three million kilometers.
Such an ultimate weapon has already surpassed the limits of physical materials. Any battleship hit by the Plasma Cannon will certainly be destroyed.
A planet with a large population will definitely construct a Space Fortress to guard itself.
The Space Fortress above Pegasus Star appears over East Continent due to its orbital path every night.
The Space Fortress is responsible only for external battles. This is enforced by formal military law. Therefore, although the Space Fortress has a close relationship with Pegasus Star, it does not interfere with the internal affairs of Pegasus Planet.
To everyone, the Space Fortress is like a special landscape. Over time, everyone naturally ignores the combat function of the Space Fortress.
Even powerful figures like Luojia and Ye Qianqiu, despite their vast influence, never considered using the Space Fortress.
Such a massive war weapon is meant to deal with interstellar main ships, indescribable starry beasts, and other terrifying enemies.
For battles within the planet, the combat power of the Space Fortress is too exaggerated.
However, Gao Xuan had already taken notice of the Space Fortress from his first day in Mingjing City.
The Celestial Dragon Eye can even allow him to directly see the external situation of the Space Fortress.
With his past life’s experience and a vision beyond this era, Gao Xuan excels at utilizing any external forces.
As long as it can kill the enemy, he does not adhere to any particular means.
An assassin doesn’t necessarily need a sword for assassination, nor is it necessary to use a sniper rifle from afar. These are mundane stereotypes about assassins held by ordinary people.
For such a colossal entity like the Space Fortress, even with internal personnel acting as insiders, using the Plasma Cannon privately is unlikely.
Gao Xuan explored the entrance to Negative Space and exchanged two thousand points with Nuwa.
He used these two thousand points to acquire a hacking program. It’s worth noting that killing Divine Shield Group’s An Shirong only earned over a thousand points. This indicates that two thousand points is certainly not cheap.
The hacking program Gao Xuan exchanged for is precisely capable of breaching the backdoor of the Space Fortress’s main control Light Computer.
This backdoor is also knowledge from his past life.
Of course, this alone was not enough. The Space Fortress’s system is closed, and external communication interfaces cannot access the fortress’s internal programs.
Fortunately, Gao Xuan’s Spiritual Power exceeds thirty points, allowing his Spirit Projection Avatar to infiltrate the Space Fortress directly. For this feat, he received a little private help from Nuwa.
Nuwa was eager for things to escalate so that Gao Xuan would have nowhere to hide. This way, he would seek her help.
With preparations complete, Gao Xuan awaited the right opportunity.
As it turned out, Ye Qianqiu laid out an enormous array.
Gao Xuan was no longer in the mood to toy with the opponent, as the opponent’s formation was strong enough that he might not be able to win if they fought for real.
Adding Luojia into the mix, there were too many variables.
So he decisively initiated his ultimate move to clear the field.
The accuracy of the Plasma Bomb’s firing is terrifying; within three hundred thousand kilometers, the margin of error in the bomb’s landing is within millimeters. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
The Plasma Bomb also has a characteristic that its high-temperature plasma releases heat and electromagnetic impact inward.
This is because the cosmos is vast and the high temperatures released by the plasma bomb are immediately absorbed by the cosmic space.
Hence, the plasma bomb releases its power only upon hitting the target, with its power range strictly limited.
No strong individuals can withstand the millions of degrees of high temperature and electromagnetic impact from the Plasma Cannon head-on. Even Golden Level strongmen must avoid its edge, not to mention mere Bronze Level masters.
Once the plasma’s high temperature and electromagnetic discharge dissipate, a massive crater nearly a kilometer in diameter remains on the ground.
Inside this massive crater, everything appears vitreous, like a gigantic and rough glass cup.
In this vast pit, everything presents in a vitreous state. Whether it’s the metallic wreckage of the battleships or the treasure swords in everyone’s hands, all are melted into a blob, utterly unrecognizable.
Under such a high-temperature bombardment, no one could preserve their body.
Standing outside the massive crater, one can feel the steaming heat pouring over them.
A few meters beyond the crater, the ground remains nearly unchanged, almost unaffected.
The Plasma Cannon has no shock wave; its heat is constricted inward, and the energy is exceptionally concentrated, making its usage surprisingly low in destructive power.
Yun Qingshang followed behind Gao Xuan, glancing at the pit beneath her feet: "Are they all dead?"
"If they died so easily, wouldn’t that be nice?"
Gao Xuan shook his head and sighed: "Things in this world are not so pleasing."
"You’re right."
A blue lotus flower appeared out of thin air, and as the petals opened, Luojia, wearing a turquoise dress, stepped out.
Luojia’s long hair was styled in a high bun, secured with a blue jade hairpin. Her turquoise long dress resembled lotus leaves, especially the hem, which was entirely lotus-leaf designed.
Her feet were adorned with a pair of hollow turquoise boots, with the hollow patterns all in the shape of blue lotuses.
The style of the turquoise lotus long dress was classic and intricate; neck, shoulders, chest, waist, legs, and back all cleverly revealed snowy skin through hollow lotus patterns. Clearly a conservative long dress, yet it expressed the woman’s gracefulness.
"Changed your clothes?"
Gao Xuan said calmly: "How many lives do you have left to play around with?"
