Wasteland's Only King - Chapter 226 - 23: The Terrifying Decomposer! Thanos Snaps His Fingers? Fortress Annihilation! (Part 2)
Chapter 226: Chapter 23: The Terrifying Decomposer! Thanos Snaps His Fingers? Fortress Annihilation! (Part 2)
Planet, life, matter, energy…
Everything, everything, after the wave of decomposition swept by, was reduced to the most basic particles!
That kind of scene was the true doomsday catastrophe!
As luck would have it.
’Lawrence’s’ star realm just happened to be right next to that star realm.
Even with endless distance between them, he could vaguely sense that fluctuation.
At the same time, he also saw, on the Ophelia Federation’s live broadcast across the star realm, that scene of annihilation of all things.
“How is this possible?”
“Why!”
“This is obviously just a low-dimensional server, how can it have a fluctuation so similar to a decomposition emitter?”
Lawrence didn’t understand, but he was terrified.
He came from the high dimension, used some means — basically a bug exploit way.
This method is actually quite common in the high dimension, many people like to do it to earn some source points.
But…
Lawrence didn’t get it!
How could anyone bring a strategic weapon like the Quantum Resonance Splitter into a low-dimensional server!
At this moment,
Lawrence was completely certain—
The star destroyer battleships under Carol’s command weren’t just ’like’ the Ophelia Federation’s warships…
Most likely, they really were Zeus Star Destroyers from the high dimension!
This guess had actually quietly popped up in Lawrence’s heart half a month ago.
But he didn’t dare believe it, didn’t want to believe it.
But now?
He had no choice but to believe!
Looking at it now,
Where is Carol hiding some secret?
That’s basically a massive hornet’s nest!
“Second Generation of the Elite!”
“It must be a top-level Second Generation of the Elite in the Federation, otherwise there’s no way to get a Big Killer like the Decomposer!”
Ideas churned frantically in Lawrence’s mind.
He couldn’t figure out—
Why would that kind of Second Generation of the Elite come play some childish game in a low-dimensional server.
All he knew was that he’d really stirred up big trouble now!
“Run!”
“Run first!”
Seeing the fluctuation growing stronger, Lawrence immediately made his decision.
Wmmmm——!
The Ninth Fortress started charging at full power, preparing for space warp jump!
The region where warp jumps were blocked was Carol’s starry sky; the Ninth Fortress wasn’t affected.
“Commander!”
Amidst the vibration of the Ninth Fortress, the mid-level officers looked both confused and anxious.
“A lot of our fortresses and fleets are still out there, not yet recalled—”
Although compared to the Seventh and Eighth Fortress, the Ninth Fortress played a minimal and passive role in this war, they’d still sent out part of their forces.
But now?
“Idiots!”
Lawrence roared angrily, interrupting.
“Full power, jump!”
He gave the order, voice and face grim.
Boom——
Rumble——!
In front of the Ninth Fortress, a super-giant space channel gradually appeared.
But…
At just that moment—
Rumble——!
An even bigger boom echoed through the starry sky.
Countless soldiers of the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Fortress saw with their own eyes: at the center of the battlefield,
In the previously empty void, slowly emerged a colossal ring-shaped object.
The source of the unsettling wave from before was also right here!
“The Decomposer!!”
Lawrence was about to lose it.
The moment he saw the ring, the last 0.1% of uncertainty in his heart was completely wiped away.
“Run, quick!”
“Warp jump!!”
Lawrence shouted in panic.
The Ninth Fortress began to merge slowly into the space channel ahead.
But…
“Too slow!”
“Not enough time, this isn’t nearly fast enough…”
On the throne,
Lawrence looked at the increasingly dazzling giant ring, sighing, slumping on the throne.
He knew that this life he’d paid a hefty price to descend with was probably going to end here.
But that was still the smallest trouble.
Bigger trouble is…
If that ’Second Generation of the Elite’ knew of his existence, knew it was him constantly bothering their subordinate, how unimaginable would the consequences be?
Lawrence at this moment didn’t dare think any further.
Wmmm——!
Strange fluctuation swept across.
Speed even faster than the speed of light.
The principle of the Decomposer itself is to use quantum entanglement resonance to decompose all matter.
Swoosh——
Swoosh-la——
In that instant,
In the endless starry sky,
Fortress after fortress, warship after warship, evolver after evolver…
Just like Thanos snapping his fingers,
All things turned to dust, decomposed into the most basic particles!
Only the Blue Star players under Carol’s command escaped annihilation, because they were earlier marked as ’allies’.
The once packed universe, full of fortresses and warships, was now empty.
Inside Y-03 Fortress,
Tang Yunxuan stared blankly at this scene, speechless.
Witnessing with his own eyes—
The three large Selza fortresses, including the one at the far back trying to warp jump and escape, had all vanished!
Even Carol in X-01 Fortress, though mentally prepared, was still stunned at the Decomposer’s godlike power.
Time passed slowly.
No one knew how long.
In the starry sky,
Carol’s voice rang out.
She said—
“Supreme Lord!”
Over four million Blue Star players shouted—
“Loyalty~!”
…
…
Venus.
On the peak of Maxwell Mountain Range.
Yu Jin sat bored on a huge rock, gazing down at the foot of the mountain.
“So slow…”
“Come earlier, I could have gotten off work sooner.”
Yu Jin muttered.
At the 20th Energy Hub, his occupation progress had already reached 99%, just short of the last 1%.
He wasn’t rushing to take that final 1%, because once it’s complete, Venus OL would be over.
Before ending, Yu Jin was gonna milk as much as he could.
The Fallen One army of over ten thousand was perfect for that.
[Beep——]
Suddenly,
A semi-transparent system panel popped up in front of Yu Jin.
[Your Commander Carol led the fleet…]
[Totally wiped out Selza Civilization’s Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth fleets!]
[Total player kills: 250 million!]
[You received Civilization Source Points: 1 billion!]
[Your ranking in ’Drake-3’ Star System Wasteland has increased!]
[Current ranking: No.216003]
[Please strive to get into the top ten thousand to earn a dimensional upgrade spot and promote to the high dimension!]
“?”
Yu Jin was stunned for quite a while.
Good god!
He just — good god!
He hadn’t even entered the Star System Wasteland yet, and he was already at 210k?
Before this,
Carol’s killing Selza Civilization players also earned some source points, but those couldn’t be credited to Yu Jin.
Also, with too few source points in total, the system said: ’Not in the top million, won’t be displayed.’
But now?
One billion Civilization Source Points!
This totally floored Yu Jin!
Yu Jin clicked his tongue, and with a mental command, opened the Civilization Authority Mall.
[Civilization Source Points: 1.5 million (+1 billion)]
[Level I Authority: Everyone for Me]
[Internal Testing Helmet: 100 million/100 million]
The helmet limit of 100 million was directly maxed out thanks to Carol’s battle.
Though those billion source points would only be usable after Yu Jin entered the Star System Wasteland.
Still…
Yu Jin was in a really good mood.
“Nice!”
“This airdrop payout is pretty sweet!”
Right as Yu Jin finished mumbling—
Thud——
Thud—rumble——!
In the distance, the ground shook slightly.
Yu Jin looked up.
And saw—
Below the mountain, more than ten thousand Fallen Ones shrouded in black mist came charging with fierce momentum.
Coincidentally,
At the same time,
On the other side of the range,
Equally over ten thousand Unlimiters of the Human Camp were hurrying up toward the peak.
Swoosh——
Yu Jin took a long deep breath, stood up from the rock.
“Finally arrived.”
He sighed lightly, slowly ascending off the ground.
At the foot of the mountain,
Members of both camps saw the figure overhead.
“Human?”
Fallen One leader Jal shot up into the sky.
“Fallen One?”
Human Camp leader Guy strode forward across the air.
