Chapter 467: One Shot Destroys the Pantheon
"Hello, Second-level Commander Donovan, welcome to the temporary command system..."
A soft mechanized female voice sounded in his ears. Donovan was wearing advanced armor, and the silver-white metal mechanical arms around him covered his sturdy body with pieces of armor.
At the same time, nanoparticles are injected. Armor composed purely of nanoparticles will lack strength.
Therefore, high-level armor is assisted by nanoparticles, and the main structure is still made of metal firmware.
The combat screen in the helmet lit up and was divided into several small squares. The combat system had already assigned him a task.
"...Your main combat zone is in the C4 war zone. The enemy is from the Black Network Organization, Botel - a mechanically modified life form equipped with a [Nova Burst] energy engine..."
The combat system is connected to the database of the Star Empire, and the detailed information of the enemy is displayed on the combat screen.
Having such information will naturally give you an advantage when dealing with the enemy.
While observing the enemy's information, he also completed the assembly of his armor. However, just as he walked out of the armor warehouse and headed for the star-crossing window, he met a figure that looked slightly familiar.
On the wide metal corridor, soldiers in combat armor came and went in a hurry. Only two figures stood on both sides of the metal bulkhead, looking very leisurely.
"Are you Dark Star?" Donovan stared at one of them. A minotaur stood behind him, giving him an aura that said "no strangers allowed".
He had seen this guy's projection in the legion commander's command room, so he had some impression of him.
The most important thing is that he was sent specifically to deal with Li Yu, which made Donovan even more concerned.
After all, he was also known as an expert in dealing with Li Yu.
"Donovan?" Dark Star also recognized this guy based on the number on his armor.
It is said that this guy has many experiences in fighting against Li Yu, and the two did not have much communication in the command room last time.
"You're not going to fight?" Donovan asked in a lukewarm tone.
"I can't just join this kind of regular battle. After all, I'm a secret weapon..." Anxing pointed helplessly at the minotaur behind him. The guy was still looking at him.
Donovan stared at him and felt it was more and more outrageous. This guy wanted to deal with Li Yu?
This interstellar human looks like he is about to die. I wonder if he can survive another round.
Donovan shook his head secretly. To deal with Li Yu, you still have to rely on me.
Unfortunately, my influence was not strong enough, and even when I made suggestions to the legion commander several times when the situation was very good, the legion commander did not adopt any of them.
Otherwise, Li Yu would have been captured by him long ago.
"I don't know what the Empire is thinking. Weapons specifically designed to deal with Li Yu? Haha..." Donovan said in front of Dark Star, hinting at something.
Anxing heard the sarcasm in the other party's words and felt a little puzzled. He didn't know why this four-armed Titan was so hostile to him?
"I wish you a successful start," said Anxing, without arguing with Donovan.
Donovan said no more and was about to move on, but at this moment, an early warning suddenly sounded in the combat system.
"...A large physical weapon was found in the area of the Red Holy Flame Fleet. It is suspected to be a secret weapon. Please handle it with care..."
"Red Holy Fire?"
Donovan frowned. The Red Sacred Flame's combat zone spanned the entire Area B. It was not far from the combat zone he was going to, so he needed to pay attention.
"Show details!"
He gave the order, and the combat screen zoomed in and out several times, clearly magnifying the scene .
The huge revolver was suspended in the starry sky, with the barrel drooping slightly, aiming at the gray-black ancient temple.
It was the Pantheon of Meditation, and Donovan looked at the combat system annotations and various detailed information.
"...In the model comparison, it is suspected to be a mechanical kinetic energy weapon, a revolver. In the history of the development of mechanical kinetic energy weapons, this weapon holds a milestone position..."
Donovan didn't care about the specific introduction of this weapon. Many retro weapons sold by large technology companies include revolvers. He even collected several of them himself, so he was not unfamiliar with them.
What he was more concerned about was a fleet not far from the pistol.
"That's... the Black Eye Fleet!"
It’s Li Yu’s fleet, he hasn’t left here yet.
Donovan recognized him at a glance. After all, he thought about Li Yu day and night.
"Keep zooming in!"
Donovan seemed to have thought of something and continued to zoom in on the combat system.
"…Affected by energy fluctuations, the image is blurred…"
Although the image on the combat system continued to zoom in, it was already a little blurry.
But even so, Donovan still saw the figure floating not far from the Black Eye Fleet.
He will never forget this familiar figure.
"Li Yu!"
He couldn't help but speak out, and subconsciously clenched his fists.
Dark Star raised his brows slightly. He heard it carefully. Although he was in the Four-Armed Titan Fleet, he did not belong to this combat formation.
A lot of information was not shared with him. Now when he heard Li Yu's name from Donovan, he knew that Li Yu had joined the battlefield.
Perhaps... the time for me to take action is not far away.
Donovan did not delay. After discovering this, he immediately went to the ejection bay. The armor's thrusters gushed out and he quickly flew into the starry sky.
At the same time, more and more people discovered the huge revolver.
"What is that? Is it the secret weapon of the Red Holy Fire?"
Ted's head was about to drill into the holographic screen. The combat system was monitoring the entire battlefield in real time and would issue timely warnings for any abnormal situations.
In such a battlefield, an inconspicuous anomaly might be the enemy's secret weapon. If it is not warned in time, it may cause unexpected losses.
"That is the Pantheon of Meditation. The gun is pointed at the Pantheon, not at this battlefield." Raymond said in a deep voice.
At this moment, a window popped up on the right side of Ted's projection. It was Donovan who quickly reported:
"Captain, I suspect that was Li Yu's trick. Last time I was meditating in the Ancient Channel, I had a big grudge with Li Yu."
"And the Black Eyes Fleet is not far from the Pantheon."
Donovan's logic is extremely simple and crude. As long as Li Yu appears, any unreasonable thing can be blamed on him.
"Oh?" Ted asked the combat system to call up the macro star map, and sure enough, he found the Black Eye Fleet not far away.
"It's really him!" Ted was a little surprised.
"Does Meditation not want to fight for Gensokyo and is settling for the second best?" Raymond instantly understood Meditation's intention.
"...Look, the gun is cocked!"
Every move of the huge revolver was monitored by the combat system, and the invisible pull of the trigger would naturally be discovered.
…
Reinhardt in the Pantheon looked up at the black gun barrel, but he did not feel any danger from it.
For a life form at his level, if there is danger, it is impossible for him not to feel it at all.
"The trigger has been moved..."
Reinhardt's pupils contracted. Although he didn't feel any danger, it was impossible for such a huge revolver to be completely ineffective.
He immediately activated the Pantheon's defense measures, and faint sounds of chanting could be heard from the statues of many man-made gods.
Some of the runes engraved on the Pantheon lit up, forming a huge circular protective shield that enveloped the entire Pantheon.
But as the trigger was pulled, the huge hammer struck, and the cylinder turned, the muzzle remained calm, without the slightest abnormality.
This attack was not fired.
The next moment, the huge revolver disappeared into the starry sky.
Reinhardt was a little confused. That was it? That was it ?
Li Yu looked at the disappearing revolver without any change in his expression. At some point, another revolver appeared in his hand.
Cordrey, who had been observing, noticed it instantly, and then watched Li Yu put the gun to his head again.
"he……"
Cordri frowned slightly. The scene before him gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
In his long life, he had seen such scenes many times, on backward indigenous planets and in lawless black markets.
This is a life-and-death game. It can be an electromagnetic laser gun or a mechanical kinetic weapon. Although the forms of weapons are different, the essence is the same.
If the Pantheon were turned into a living being, it would obviously be a game of gambling with one's life.
But... Li Yu is gambling his life with the Pantheon?
This conclusion made Cordrey feel an indescribable sense of absurdity.
Although Reinhardt didn't know what Li Yu was doing, he obviously didn't want him to continue.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he was about to leave the Pantheon and go to capture Li Yu in person.
But Li Yu was faster and pulled the trigger the next moment he got the revolver.
It was still an empty shot, and at the same time the gun in his hand disappeared, and the huge revolver appeared above the Pantheon again.
This made Reinhardt's movements pause, and he fell into a state of confusion again.
"It appeared again? What on earth is going on?"
Iroha frowned and noticed the situation here. When the huge revolver appeared for the first time, he noticed it and paid close attention to it.
After all, it was within his fleet, and if anything happened, he would have to bear the losses directly.
"It's about time..." Li Yu stared at the huge revolver. The target chosen for [Revolver Betting] was the Pantheon. Originally, he thought that the Pantheon could not be chosen.
In that case, he would have to gamble his life with Reinhardt, but even if Reinhardt was killed, his men could still control the Pantheon.
But even if the Pantheon is destroyed, the threat posed by Reinhardt cannot be ignored.
It's difficult to have the best of both worlds, so Li Yu can only choose the Pantheon, which poses a greater threat.
The revolver suspended above the Pantheon, the huge trigger was pulled again, as if an invisible hand was controlling it.
This time, Reinhardt still did not feel any danger , but he had an indescribable premonition.
This time...it will be different!
"I'm curious about how it will be destroyed."
Under Li Yu's gaze, the hammer slammed down hard!
Bang!
A loud bang filled everyone's soul. Under the gaze of everyone, the muzzle of the huge revolver rose slightly, spewing out blazing flames, like a star about to explode.
Orange-yellow bullets were fired, and the huge bullets were comparable to those of conventional battleships. Reinhardt's eyes were filled with unspeakable horror.
The revolver and the Pantheon are not far apart.
The bullet hit the Pantheon almost instantly, embedding itself into the metal casing.
The protective shield covering the surface of the Pantheon seemed transparent and did not provide any protection.
And Li Yu also clearly understood what the line "the power to destroy everything" in the system description meant.
There was no large-scale energy explosion, and even when hit, the Pantheon remained calm.
However, the corners of the Pantheon began to dissipate into invisible and colorless particles, and quickly spread inward. Any defensive measures were useless in the face of such power.
About one third of the huge Pantheon disappeared almost instantly, and the remaining part was also collapsing at a very fast speed.
"What kind of attack is this? There is no energy reaction?" Ted looked at the combat system's detection, somewhat incredulous.
The flash of fire when a revolver is fired is just the normal reaction when a mechanical kinetic weapon is fired, but it is magnified countless times.
But still no energy reaction was detected.
"How could such a terrifying attack have no energy reaction? Is this broken machine broken?"
"Rule-level attack..." Raymond's face was solemn: "This is an attack method comparable to that of a Titan artifact. Only a rule-level attack can wipe out the Pantheon without causing energy fluctuations."
…
"This is not an attack, this is an erasure!"
Cordri's face was tense, and he came to this conclusion from the rapidly collapsing Pantheon in front of him.
There is a fundamental difference between attacking and eradicating. Attacking requires a series of basic reactions, weapon systems, energy supply, and a tug-of-war with the enemy's defense system.
But erasure is completely different, just like using an eraser to wipe off a stain on paper, simple and unreasonable.
Rule-level weapons. Just thinking of these words, Cordelli felt a sense of pressure and his expression became solemn.
The people meditating in the Pantheon were still in a daze.
Reinhardt watched helplessly as the entire environment around him turned into invisible and colorless particles and disappeared into the starry sky.
"How could this happen!?"
This method was difficult for him to understand and shocked him.
The men around him looked as if their worldview had collapsed, and they spoke with difficulty:
“…”
There was no sound in the vacuum, but just by looking at the shape of his mouth, one could tell that he was saying -
My Lord, where is our Pantheon! ?
Although the Pantheon disappeared, the people in the meditation organization were not harmed and appeared in the starry sky intact.
Some life forms capable of surviving in the starry sky looked around with confused expressions.
He was working in the Pantheon one second ago, and appeared in the starry sky the next second.
The other life forms that were unable to survive in the starry sky covered their mouths and noses with difficulty, waving their limbs, and gradually lost their vital signs.
