Chapter 693: Chapter 644: Destroying the Star Spirit Platform_3

"Don’t celebrate too early, they haven’t brought out their nuclear weapons yet,"

Gu Jinlai said.

Undeniably, over the years, the development of weapons on Blue Star had evolved dramatically, with no shortage of neutron bombs, viral weapons, sonic weapons, and magnetic field weapons.

But such weapons...

were highly effective against human military forces; however, for cultivators, they were practically useless.

Especially after Xie Yusheng had cultivated to become a True Spirit, he became immune to radiation, viruses, sonic waves, and magnetic fields.

What he really needed to be cautious of were nuclear weapons.

"Nuclear weapons!?"

Upon hearing Gu Jinlai’s warning, Xie Yusheng calmed down slightly, "Would they use nuclear weapons against me? This is their own territory!"

"Time is pressing, they can’t stop you from destroying the Star Spirit Platform, but you should be careful when you leave,"

Gu Jinlai said.

Xie Yusheng’s expression was solemn.

At this moment, the Star Spirit Platform was less than a hundred miles away from him.

He could clearly "see" the Star Spirit Platform—a structure over sixty meters tall, filled with alien and sci-fi elements.

Also, as he reached this core area, countless cannons and rockets intertwined into a dense rain of fire, filling his vision.

Such intense firepower was enough to level mountains and forests into a sea of flames.

However...

a hundred miles was enough.

As Xie Yusheng’s mind moved, the energy in the reactor began to charge into the ion cannon, and a brilliant glow began to condense from the cannon mounted on the shoulder of the Cheng Ying Mecha.

When the energy inside reached a certain intensity, a dazzling column of energy fiercely shot out from the cannon, crossing a hundred miles with unimaginable speed and accurately striking the main structure of the Star Spirit Platform.

Missiles?

Interception systems?

Dense array?

Under the strike of this plasma cannon beam, which was extremely fast and contained terrifying energy, nothing was of any use.

"Boom!"

With the Star Spirit Platform shaking, a circle of azure light carrying visible ripples burst out from the main body of the structure.

The sixty-meter tall massive building was directly penetrated by this cannon, collapsing.

Numerous debris fell down in a mass of fire and dust, tumbling into the sea.

"No!"

This scene made General Mahir, who was responsible for the safety of the Star Spirit Platform, and the members of the Apocalypse Project Team who had just received the news, emit cries of unwillingness.

And, as the mastermind responsible for all this...

Xie Yusheng, to be on the safe side, fired two more shots to ensure the Star Spirit Platform was completely destroyed, then tentatively asked, "Senior Taiyi, have we completed our mission?"

"It’s done, prepare to run,"

Gu Jinlai nodded, satisfied with the reconnaissance operation: "The true test of skill is in the retreat."

"Leave it to me!"

Xie Yusheng had personally experienced the Cheng Ying Mecha’s overall performance, which was nearly a century ahead of Blue Star’s technology, and his confidence was overwhelming.

At this moment, he felt the thrill of flying a fifth-generation fighter jet onto a World War II battlefield and single-handedly crushing the opposing jet aircraft.

Seeing this, Gu Jinlai did not urge him.

He also wanted to know the limits of what the Cheng Ying Mecha could achieve on Blue Star.

If Xie Yusheng were truly in danger, he would simply replace Xie Yusheng and pilot the Mecha himself.

...

The collapse of the Star Spirit Platform directly caused chaos among the higher echelons of the Star Shining Federation.

Since it was still morning and everyone was at work, President Edward, Chairman Jonas, Vice President Robert, and others quickly entered a video conference.

Their staff were also analyzing the course of the battle at full speed.

However, before the battle analysis could be completed, upon witnessing the destruction of the Star Spirit Platform, these top officials of the Star Shining Federation couldn’t help but become furious.

"War! War! This is an act of war against our Star Shining Federation! This is provoking a worldwide war!"

Vice President Robert roared first.

President Edward also looked a bit grim.

His age was increasing, and if it wasn’t for the progress of the "Longevity World" plan, he might not have been re-elected for another term.

But as his age neared eighty, he could clearly feel his energy and memory deteriorating significantly.

Sometimes, while talking, he would forget what he was about to say next; sometimes, while doing something, he suddenly didn’t know how to continue.

All these made him feel his age and even sense the approach of death.

In such circumstances, the Longevity World had become his greatest hope for prolonging his life.

Recently, they had been rapidly expanding the Star Spirit Platform, intending to transform it into a Star Gate.

For this purpose, the entire Star Shining Federation had invested enormous human and material resources, and even the citizens below had some opinions about their actions.

Although the opinions of the citizens weren’t important, they indirectly indicated the pressure he was facing.

But now...

the Star Spirit Platform, into which such huge funds had been invested, had been unexpectedly destroyed in a raid, which made President Edward furious and filled him with an unspeakable fear.

Time waits for no one.

What if...

he could no longer enter the Longevity World and seek immortality?!

"Who can tell me which country produced this weapon? Mecha? Isn’t this something only found in science fiction novels? My think tank has long discarded such impractical weapons into the trash heap, and yet some country chose to research this type of weapon as a research direction? The key point is, how can it be so advanced!?"
