Chapter 47 Killing someone is not enough; you must also destroy their spirit!
Above the sky, the pure white pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth contained the ultimate power of human technological civilization. With the force of divine judgment, it completely swallowed up the figure of Xu Yuan!
A strike at the speed of light, there is no way to avoid it.
In fact, Xu Yuan never intended to dodge.
The moment the giant laser touched the surrounding black flames, the enormous energy contained within it was instantly devoured by the black flames!
Black flames surged around him once more, expanding their range once more!
The lasers continued to strike, while the black flames surrounding Xu Yuan expanded like a balloon being constantly filled with water.
In the rear command post of the army
When the commanders saw the giant pillar of light completely engulf the location where the wish had been made, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"bite……"
The clinking of champagne glasses echoed in the command post.
"Hey? Bruce, now that this crisis is over, don't you think I should mention my career again?"
"Oh, my friend, of course! You were the one who pressed the launch button for the space-based laser cannon just now; you deserve the credit..."
Just as the commanders were preparing to celebrate, one of them suddenly pointed to the sky in terror.
"Wait a minute... what's that?"
They looked in the direction the commander was pointing.
The black spot was initially only the size of a pinhead, but then it spread and expanded rapidly, like thick ink spreading on rice paper!
A bizarre yet terrifying thought arose in the minds of the commanders...
Could it be that the monster isn't dead yet?
impossible!
The power of a space-based laser weapon is theoretically enough to destroy an entire city block with a single shot!
It's not about killing living targets within the neighborhood, but about destroying the entire neighborhood, including but not limited to living beings and buildings...
Could it be that the monster can withstand a space-based laser cannon shot head-on?
next second.
The black spot of light in the giant beam of light rapidly expanded.
The commanders finally saw it clearly!
Their anxiety, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died completely.
Xu Yuan hovered in mid-air, looking relaxed, while the black flame cloud surrounding him had expanded several times over!
It almost completely covered the sky!
And that's not all!
Under their watchful eyes, the black flame cloud continued to expand outwards, even showing a tendency to swallow the giant pillar of light upwards.
The moment they saw it clearly, the commanders felt their hands and feet go cold, and their eyes were filled with despair.
Even space-based lasers couldn't harm that monster...
In despair.
The commanders could only watch helplessly as the giant pillar of light gradually shrank until it finally disappeared...
They knew it very well.
The satellite carrying the laser transmitter was completely destroyed.
What's even more critical is that, to date, this is the only finished space-based weapon developed by the entire United States.
They couldn't even fire another shot.
What will their fate be next...?
Despair turned into fear.
"Everyone, the monster is too powerful. We have to find another way..."
An elderly commander's face wore a mixture of embarrassment, confusion, complexity, and anticipation.
……
Only after the giant pillar of light completely disappeared did Xu Yuan smack his lips, still feeling unsatisfied.
Although its attack power isn't great, but...
It tastes so good!
As for what weapon emitted this, Xu Yuan could probably guess pretty accurately.
Space weapons lasers are a common feature in science fiction movies.
Space laser weapon. Its energy is immense and pure, making it a highly nourishing substance.
Having devoured his way to this point, the immense energy has propelled him to the peak of the Extinction Zone level!
Just a hair's breadth away!
With just one more burst of energy of the same magnitude, he could break through that barrier and step into a completely new realm!
Xu Yuan wasn't in a hurry; he simply stood suspended in mid-air, waiting for the second laser cannon to descend.
—This is all predicated on the existence of a second laser satellite…
As for the other soldiers on the battlefield, they were stunned by the spectacular scene when the giant beam of light fell.
Not to mention that later, when he made a wish, he actually swallowed that giant pillar of light.
The scene fell into an eerie silence.
until……
"Easterners!"
"You've killed enough soldiers and troops already!"
"You are creating a massacre!"
"If you continue like this, you will become a sinner in the history of humankind!"
A series of shouts came from the loudspeakers on the battlefield.
Make a wish: ...
People can actually laugh when they're speechless.
It's still the same old redneck trick—moral blackmail.
If you can win, then fight; if you can't, then resort to moral blackmail?
However, it's also clear that that laser shot was probably the limit for the United States.
In that case...
"Oh? I'm slaughtering?"
This was the first time since the start of the war that Xu Yuan had responded to the enemy's call, and his voice echoed clearly in every corner of the battlefield.
"But I'm curious, the range of that laser just now... it didn't seem like it was only meant to kill me."
"It's more like they intend to purify everyone on this battlefield—including you loyal soldiers."
The moment he uttered the wish,
The battlefield fell silent once more.
The soldiers were all stunned, then turned their heads in disbelief to look towards the command post behind them.
A smile appeared on Xu Yuan's lips.
More terrifying than murder...
It's a blow to the heart!
Regardless of whether the military had this in mind, the scale of that laser just now...
Even if you throw this pot of shit away, it'll still look like shit even if it's not actually shit!
Inside the command post.
The commanders' expressions were worse than if they had eaten shit.
They never expected that the monster would say such a thing!
Although that was indeed their idea...
But in America, everything can be measured in value, including battle damage, right?
At this moment, they could clearly sense the change in the atmosphere on the battlefield.
Many soldiers' eyes had changed at this moment, showing doubt, disgust, and even anger!
With such a large-scale laser treatment just now, it's impossible to hide it. We have to say something, otherwise there will probably be an uproar immediately...
"He's talking nonsense! He's trying to divide us!" someone yelled angrily into the microphone, attempting to defend himself.
However, Xu Yuan no longer pays attention to it.
Like a god-king inspecting his subjects, he swept across the steel defenses below, carrying with him a cloud of despairing black flames, and continued his journey toward the city.
"Stop him!"
"We must catch up with him!"
The commanders immediately issued orders over the walkie-talkie.
However, the order was ignored.
For the first time, the army showed signs of spiraling out of control.
Originally, they harbored resentment towards Xu Yuan, who was almost invincible.
They can understand a normal battle, even if the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.
but……
Faced with the fact that even missiles couldn't harm them, resentment inevitably arose in their hearts, compounded by that laser cannon shot just now...
They only want to know one thing right now!
Were those powerful and wealthy gentlemen sent here to their deaths?
Many soldiers, their eyes darting around, slowly walked towards the rear command post...
Although they started slowly, as more and more people joined them, the soldiers' eyes gradually became more determined...
A soldier's life matters too!
……
Ignoring the commotion behind him, Xu Yuan went straight to the edge of the city.
What came into his view was no longer the orderly modern city.
Panic spread like a plague, traffic was completely paralyzed, and screams and riots filled the streets... The veil of so-called civilization was easily torn apart in the face of absolute power.
