Chapter 1136 - 1016: Who Gave You That Confidence!? (Two Chapters Combined)

At this moment, the people inside the warship finally came to their senses. Just now, they were all bewildered, unable to imagine that Qin Heng would actually say such a thing.

How could this happen!?

It's impossible!

Why is it like this!??

"You, what do you mean by your words just now? Letting us initiate the warship's self-destruction program and not allowing us to leave, isn't that just sending us to our deaths!?"

"How is this considered redemption? Aren't we still going to die!? No, it can't be like this! It can't!!"

"We can't accept this, absolutely not! This is not redemption at all; it's suicide! If that's the case, why don't we fight with you!!"

"Exactly..."

Angry roars erupted from within the warship. It was the sound of despair, hysterical shouts questioning Qin Heng.

"Silence."

However, it only summoned Qin Heng's indifferent voice in the end.

"Who gave you the courage to bargain with me?" Qin Heng raised a hand and pointed. An invisible wave of power spread out, and one of the warships suddenly trembled.

Previously, such a tremor would have stirred up the sky's atmosphere, causing violent storms and creating many earth-shattering phenomena!

But this time, the warship's shaking did not cause any airflow disturbance. Everything was incredibly calm, as if nothing had happened.

But the next second!

The warship suddenly began to disintegrate, like a model made of fine sand, slowly dissipating under the wind!

In less than ten seconds, this warship, spanning thousands of kilometers, and everyone inside turned to dust and ashes!!

Terror!

It was truly terrifying!!

The world turned silent once more, with no one speaking. Everyone was stunned, watching the scene in the sky!

They were shocked to the extreme!

A planetary-level warship, equivalent to a Saint King!

Yet in front of Qin Heng, it was as insignificant as an ant, entirely unworthy of mention, easily turned to dust with a mere point of his finger.

If Qin Heng's previous act of capturing these warships conveyed his unmatched, overwhelming power to others, now it delivered an incredibly direct visual shock.

This shock was like a wake-up call to everyone, making them realize that this being truly possessed incomparably terrifying power!

Even destroying the entire Aquablue Star would be no more than a snap of the fingers!

Too terrifying!

Too powerful!

None of the other eight warships spoke. These Nine Gods Civilization warriors, who had been questioning Qin Heng, all shut their mouths now.

Not a single word dared to be uttered.

Too terrifying!

The scene just now brought them an unimaginable shock, plunging them into a state of extreme stupefaction, unable to comprehend how to cope with this situation.

"I only asked you to atone, nothing more." Qin Heng stood with his hands behind his back, saying calmly: "Did I ever say I would spare your lives?"

Atonement and survival were never synonymous.

For the people of Aquablue Star, the invasion of the Nine Gods Civilization would bring them an apocalyptic disaster, severing the lineage of their entire civilization, leading to its extinction.

Mere self-destruction of the warships, enduring only the pain of waiting for death, such a way of atonement could never repay such sin.

Far from enough.

However, Qin Heng's demand for this mode of atonement was not aimless; there was another purpose. For him, it was a way to ascertain the precise location of the Nine Gods Civilization's headquarters.

These warships were the core technological achievements of the Nine Gods Civilization. If they chose self-destruction, a new signal would certainly transmit to the headquarters of the Nine Gods Civilization.

In this way, Qin Heng wouldn't have to search for it himself, nor would he need the released mothership to confirm the position, undoubtedly saving a certain amount of time and energy.

At this moment, the Nine Gods Civilization fighters inside the warships were utterly panic-stricken, only now realizing that Qin Heng had merely asked them to atone!

He did not promise to forgive their sins!

Absolutely not!

"What should we do!?"

"What should we do now, what should we do!?"

"Damn it! Why is this happening!"

"Why is the universe filled with such terrifying monsters, when we are warriors of the Nine Gods Civilization!?"

"Ahhh! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

"Why!?"

The people inside the warship were mentally collapsing, but without exception, they did not want to die, let alone press the self-destruction button, which equated to suicide!

"If this is the case, if death is inevitable, then let's fight!"

"Yes! Fight! Let this monster of Aquablue Star understand the power of the Nine Gods Civilization, make him regret it!!"

"Does he really think he can completely crush us!?"

"Even if we can't kill this monster, we must destroy Aquablue Star, we must destroy this abominable planet!!"

"Make him regret it dearly!!"

Upon realizing certain death, these people became increasingly hysterical. Extreme despair bred extreme madness; they wanted to clash with Qin Heng.

No.

To be precise, they wanted to feign a clash with Qin Heng, but in reality, they aimed to utterly destroy Aquablue Star as a form of vengeance.

However, they overestimated their side's power and underestimated Aquablue Star's stability.

Rumble!

The eight warships in the sky exploded with massive roars, their surfaces gleaming with light, containing exceedingly great energy. The piloting warriors had adjusted the warships' power to the maximum!

These warships had planetary-level power, equivalent to Saint Kings. Now, being fully deployed seemed about to erupt at any moment.

Almost equivalent to eight Saint Kings unleashing their True Yuan power in full force!

Incredibly terrifying!

Under normal circumstances, such a force would tear Aquablue Star into pieces, possibly leaving no remnants, turning directly into cosmic dust!

This is not an exaggeration; it's relatively conservative.

For celestial bodies of this level, a strong person at the Saint King level truly possesses the power to destroy everything.

The planetary-level warships of the Nine Gods Civilization, while not comparable to true Saint Kings in terms of versatility and mobility, do indeed reach the level of a Saint King in energy.

The simultaneous full energy burst of eight warships is catastrophic for a celestial body like Aquablue Star.

However, this is only under "normal" circumstances.

Aquablue Star is not normal right now; its civilization and defenses are being maintained by Big Black.

This innate deity, born from the Path of Destruction, possesses a cultivation level at the Great Emperor level, arguably the supreme level below the Heavenly Realm, on the verge of Crossing Tribulation and ascending.

The stabilized planet he maintained could only be broken by Qin Heng himself entering the realm of immortals or a True Immortal descending to take action.

As for these eight warships, this was something they absolutely couldn't achieve; there wasn't even a slightest possibility.

Moreover, the eight warships didn't even have a chance to truly unleash their power.

When Qin Heng noticed that the Nine Gods Civilization warriors wanted to put up a desperate fight, he decisively swept through them with Divine Sense, shattering their Divine soul on the spot, leading to their immediate demise.

For people of the Nine Gods Civilization, who don't understand Martial Dao or transcendence, an attack on the Divine soul is essentially unsolvable. Especially a direct impact from Divine Sense at Qin Heng's level; no one could withstand it!

However, while extinguishing these Nine Gods Civilization warriors, Qin Heng also probed some of their memories, finding the location of the self-destruct button for the warships!

Next!

It's time to confirm the core location of the Nine Gods Civilization headquarters!!
