Chapter 1214 Divine Punishment.
At Three Stars Lock, the starships from the 23rd division aimed their cannons at Planet No. 1. They received an order to raze the planet to its core.
They waited silently for the huge and holy-like mecha in front of them to initiate the battle. Once it did, they would follow.
Ling Xiao said coldly, “Activate Divine Punishment.”
The twelve wings behind the mecha unfurled, making the mecha akin to a messenger from heaven. Every wing started congregating energy at its tips. This was the most powerful offensive system of (Belief). None could hinder its path except G.o.d-cla.s.s mechas.
The twelve wings were all locked in one location, Planet No. 1 of Three Stars Lock.
Ling Xiao"s gaze was cold and ruthless. He knew that once he launched his attack, millions of people would be pulverized instantly. Countless innocent lives would be implicated too. His current image now was no longer Lan Luofeng"s loving husband or Ling Lan"s doting father. He was the ultimate weapon of the Federation, Ling Xiao.
He pressed the b.u.t.ton calmly and the twelve wings ejected their energy, congregating towards one direction. Divine Punishment was activated.
“Fire!” All the captains of the starships shouted simultaneously.
Multiple beams, along with Divine Punishment, shot towards the unsuspecting planet.
The inhabitants of Three Stars Lock knew that they were in danger the moment their radars went haywire. All the soldiers were already prepared for the worst. Some mechas had already been ejected into the vast s.p.a.ce. Once they spot any signs of their enemies, they would stop them at all costs, even if the cost was their lives.
Only if their signal wasn"t blocked, they would have contacted the central command center for help.
The higher authorities of Twilight were aware that Ling Xiao wanted to sneak an attack on their capital planet. Hence, they laid many traps and waited for Ling Xiao to step inside.
The head of the logistics department at Three Stars Lock knew about this plan so giddy just at the thought of the possible death of Ling Xiao. However, when he realised that the signals at the Three Stars Lock were blocked, memories entered his mind of the time when Ling Xiao tried to sneak through the death wormhole. He could feel his heart dropping to the pits of his stomach. Did Ling Xiao give up on the capital planet just to complete his mission 25 years ago?
It had to be said that his judgement was very accurate.
“Head, a huge energy wave is detected in the direction of Planet No. 1.” One of the soldiers in the command center received feedback from the energy detectors on Planet No. 1 and quickly reported to his head.
“We detected it too,” Another soldier in charge of the radar exclaimed.
“What"s the figure?” The head asked anxiously.
“It has exceeded the maximum range of the radar,” The soldier shouted in fright. The screens in front of him were all blinking in red. The blaring sound of alarm pierced his ears.
Everyone in the command center noticed the commotion too. They stopped what they were doing and prayed that it wasn"t too big of a problem. The head rushed to the soldier and stared blankly at the red alerts on the screen. His face was pale as the freshest sheet of paper. He lost strength in his legs as he slumped down powerlessly. “It"s Ling Xiao. It"s really Ling Xiao.”
Besides the Divine Punishment system, what else could create such a huge amount of energy?
“Planet No.1 is finished.” The head looked at the direction where the block of energy was heading towards. His heart bled as he predicted at the faith of the inhabitants of Planet No. 1 with lifeless eyes.
Planet No. 1 might be able to handle one round of Divine Punishment but they wouldn"t be able to handle the subsequent attacks from the starships. The cannons on them might not be as powerful as the Divine Punishment system but with the amount of firepower those thousands of cannons could churn out, it was nothing to scoff at.
After two rounds of Divine Punishment, even their biggest planet would be half-destroyed. Planet No. 1 was the smallest planet among the three planets at Three Stars Lock.
Planet No. 1 was where all their goods and materials were stored. The logistics headquarters was erected on Planet No. 3. If Ling Xiao wanted to destroy the logistics headquarters, he would"ve attacked Planet No. 3. However, he must have known that based on the power of his starships and (Belief), he would need at least three rounds of Divine Punishment before he could destroy Planet No.
The cannons and Divine Punishment needed time to replenish their ammo and energy. If they couldn"t finish their opponent in one attack, their opponent would have the chance to resist.
The three planets at Three Stars Lock were able to rotate safely because they had reached a state of equilibrium. Once this equilibrium was broken, the three planets would be in danger of falling out of orbit. Ling Xiao wanted to break the balance of the three planets. That was why he attacked the under-defended Planet No. 1.
Boom! Planet no.1 exploded. Inhabitants thought the apocalypse was coming. Multiple escape pods ejected out of the base on the planet before the explosion occurred. However, it was up to fate whether they were able to escape the range of the explosion.
“Beep beep beep. An unknown flying object has appeared.” The ace mecha masters at the frontline heard the warning from their mechas.
“Prepare for battle!” All the regiment commanders and the team leaders ordered their members.
They were prepared for this. They knew that the moment they attacked Planet No.1, their whereabouts would be exposed soon. Their enemies would definitely not be like a sitting duck and take their beating.
Ling Xiao"s wings finished acc.u.mulating energy again. He aimed them at the mechas from Twilight and fired, pulverizing anything and everything in its oath
It left nine empty roads of death in the formation of the incoming Twilight army.
However, it didn"t give him any joy as Ling Xiao frowned as he looked towards the center of the army. A huge mecha had appeared in front of him. Three of his beams had been blocked by the shield of this mecha.
Only a G.o.d-cla.s.s mecha could block Divine Punishment. That"s right, this mecha in front of him was a G.o.d-cla.s.s mecha too. The appearance of this mecha caused the mecha operators in the middle three lanes to escape death.
“It looks like Caesar has already started helping Twilight. So, this is where you were hiding.” Ling Xiao sneered as he looked at the familiar mecha in front of him.
“Immortal Bird Ling Xiao.” The person tried his best to speak the Huaxia language.
“Duke Allomone,” Ling Xiao replied calmly.
The G.o.d-cla.s.s operators of Caesar were given feudal ranks based on their capabilities. This person in front of him was the fifth among the G.o.d-cla.s.s operators in Caesar.
The strongest G.o.d-cla.s.s operator from Caesar was King Paro. It was said that he had fought Supreme Dragon on equal footing. However, that happened a long time ago. There was not much news of him now. As for this Duke Allomone, he became famous 60 years ago. It was due to the constant news coverage of his heroic acts, painting him as the selfless hero of Caesar which turned him into the most respected G.o.d-cla.s.s operator in Caesar.
But, the most famous G.o.d-cla.s.s operator in the human universe was Ling Xiao.
He ‘died" for 16 years before coming back alive. Then, he was recognised as the most powerful G.o.d-cla.s.s operator. His operations were said to be perfect too. His legendary experience made him famous in the whole universe. Many G.o.d-cla.s.s operators were unhappy about this as they felt Ling Xiao had stolen their limelight. Duke Allomone was one of those jealous sods. He always felt that Ling Xiao only knew how to create hype around his operations while in actuality, being just average.
