Wasteland's Only King - Chapter 225 - 23: The Terrifying Decomposer! Thanos Snaps His Fingers? Fortress Annihilation!
Chapter 225: Chapter 23: The Terrifying Decomposer! Thanos Snaps His Fingers? Fortress Annihilation!
“Damn it!”
“What the hell are those things!”
Inside the Seventh and Eighth Fortresses.
The two Fortress Lords now stared at the suddenly emerging Star Destroyer Fleet and Sigma Fighter Armor Group, their faces dark as water.
Just within this brief moment just now—
They had already lost at least ten medium and small fortresses, plus over a hundred warships of various sizes!
You have to know—
Whether it’s fortress or warship, their prices are all astronomically high!
Even for Fortress Lords like them, such losses were not easily bearable!
More importantly…
As Tier Eighteen Extreme Evolvers, the instant the Star Destroyers fired just now, they actually sensed a powerful threat even across the distance.
That sense of threat was almost lethal!
At this moment—
They suddenly understood why Lawrence had been injured in the previous war.
It wasn’t carelessness, but that this mysterious power from nowhere truly possessed big killers like Star Destroyer Battleships.
“Tier Sixteen Mecha?”
“Counting the five from before, there are a full twenty of them now!”
As the two Fortress Lords were shocked, greed also grew in their eyes.
If they could capture these Mecha…
The fortress’s strength would be greatly boosted!
To take a step back—
Even if not used to strengthen the fortress, they could sell them to Wasteland and obtain an enormous number of Source Points.
Tier Sixteen Unmanned Mecha and Tier Sixteen Evolvers were two completely different things.
Their combat power was not even in the same league, nor could their value be compared.
“In a time like this…”
“We should go on an all-out attack!”
At this moment, the two Fortress Lords issued exactly the same order.
Boom—
Rumble——!
Not long after—
Within the Seventh and Eighth Fortresses, the true main force of the war surged out at once!
That was…
Large-scale Interstellar Fortresses!
As well as large Interstellar Battleships!
At the same time, squads of High-tier Evolvers formed elite squads, charging at the Sigma Mecha.
Though the Star Destroyer Battleships were terrifying, each firing of the Star Annihilator Cannon required energy and cooldown.
And this was exactly the perfect timing for the Selsa Fleet to launch a fierce assault.
You could say—
The war decision of the two Fortress Lords at this moment was absolutely right.
But…
They still underestimated the power of the Star Destroyer Fleet and Sigma Mecha.
The fleet was not simply the sum of its ships, but a tightly coordinated force.
Right now—
One warship was being protected at the center while charging the Star Annihilator Cannon, while the other four ships provided escort.
Besides the Star Annihilator Cannon, as weapons of a Level III Civilization Federation, the Star Destroyers’ technologies and firepower were exceedingly terrifying.
This made them able to endure attacks from a hundred massive battleships without a scratch.
To put it more vividly…
When the Star Destroyer powered its Energy Protection Shield to full, the attacks of the Selsa Fleet’s heavy warships felt like scratching an itch.
Of course—
As strong as the Energy Protection Shield was, it still required a supply of Energy.
Selsa Fleet’s strategy at this moment was to launch a barrage and continuously drain the Star Destroyer’s Energy.
This was a tug-of-war, a race against time.
But…
This was exactly what Carol hoped to see.
The Star Destroyer Fleet and Sigma Combat Group drew the full attention of the Selsa Fleet.
And this provided ample cover for the “Big Killer” to charge up its energy reserves.
At this moment—
In the Void.
A giant, planetary-scale ring-shaped object was lying quietly in wait.
The moment it was deployed, Carol learned its name and detailed information through her link with Yu Jin.
“Quantum Resonance Splitter!”
“A true interstellar strategic weapon!”
“Once charged, its attack could decompose any warship or celestial body!”
The good news—
This Splitter automatically had 30% charge upon deployment.
Without hesitation, Carol went for full power—charging it straight to 30%!
…
…
Time crept on.
Buzz—
Buzzzzz——!
In the Void—
The fluctuations emanating from the Quantum Resonance Splitter became increasingly obvious and intense.
Though it was equipped with high-dimensional stealth and anti-detection technologies—
This mounting, almost star realm-shaking energy tremor still made the Selsa Fleet detect something amiss.
They couldn’t pinpoint the source—
But…
A sense of impending doom gripped everyone’s hearts.
Even—
The commanders of the Seventh and Eighth Fortresses, General Valen and General Harry, felt their scalps tingle with dread.
“Damn it!”
“What the hell is it this time?”
“Another Star Annihilator Cannon?”
“But that damn thing just fired…”
The two of them couldn’t make sense of it, but they knew the situation was dire and urgently sent a comm request to Lawrence, who was stationed in the rear.
But—there was no response.
Inside the Ninth Fortress—
Upon the throne—
Lawrence was dumbfounded.
His face had turned deathly pale, like gold paper.
His body was trembling uncontrollably.
“This tremor…”
“This presence…”
“Why does it feel so much like the Ophelia Federation’s Splitter!”
Lawrence was terrified!
A hundred years ago—
The Ophelia Federation had faced a momentous event.
Back then, a Star Realm under the Federation’s rule had rebelled.
The Federation dispatched its army to suppress it.
Perhaps to set an example—
The Ophelia Federation employed a strategic interstellar weapon called the “Quantum Resonance Splitter” in that war.
It was said—
Just to charge that weapon, the Ophelia Federation drained dozens of giant stars.
And the result was—
When the Decomposer fired, half the entire Star Realm vanished into void.
