249: Chapter 250 Jiang Chen's Trump Card: Unlocking Ultimate Permissions in the System Shop
Inside the command center, red lights flashed frantically.
The radar monitor's hands were shaking; on the screen, the massive light spot symbolizing The Sweepers' mothership was tearing through the edge of the Solar System, following a trajectory that defied the laws of physics.
This was the enemy's retaliation.
A true God-level Civilization had made its move.
Academician Chen Shuyin quickly adjusted the energy shields of the luan niao starship, her expression grim. She glanced at the pressure readings, her voice sharp yet calm: "Jiang Chen, the opponent's interference frequency has already exceeded the limits of our antimatter shields. If we don't counterattack, we will be forcibly ripped out of curvature space."
Jiang Chen didn't move.
He remained seated in the captain's chair, staring deeply at the red dot, his fingers rhythmically tapping the armrest.
"These The Sweepers really have some tricks up their sleeves."
He sneered, "Back in the Wasteland, I used to scavenge trash and looked down on this lot, but now it seems they really can treat an entire galaxy as a trash can and clean it out."
"But here, that logic doesn't apply."
He took a deep breath, his consciousness instantly sinking into his mind.
The long-dormant system interface seemed to have been activated by the external crisis at this very moment.
[Detected that the host is facing a 'Civilization Destruction' level threat.]
[System Store — 'Ultimate Authority Module' has now been forcibly activated.]
[Load the list?]
Jiang Chen stared at the golden option, a long-lost fervor appearing in his eyes.
Ultimate Authority.
The energy points he had been saving for so long were finally coming in handy.
"Load it for me."
"Dig out all those things that would make a God-level Civilization question their existence!"
With a rustle.
The system store seemed to explode; the cheap spicy strips, insecticides, and even low-level Anti-gravity Engine were all gone.
In their place were several icons flickering with terrifying colors and emitting ripples of the Law of Causality.
[Item: Law of Causality Striker.]
[Price: 200,000,000 energy points.]
[Description: No matter how thick your shields are, no matter how high your civilization level is, as long as the coordinates are locked, the opponent will inevitably... have bad luck. Ranging from diarrhea to reactor explosions, it all depends on how you set it.]
[Item: Dimensional Reconstructor.]
[Price: 500,000,000 energy points.]
[Description: Forcibly modifies the physical parameters of a star region. For example... making gravity in that area instantly disappear, or turning enemy ships into a pile of dancing modeling clay.]
[Item: Dimensional Reduction Iron (Simplified Version).]
[Price: 800,000,000 energy points.]
[Description: The one you used to iron the dual-vector foil before; this is the fully equipped version, which can even iron a star into a CD.]
Jiang Chen looked at these heart-stopping items and then glanced at his account balance.
This isn't a system at all?
This is clearly an armory specially customized for "interstellar warfare."
"They're all too expensive."
Jiang Chen pursed his lips with a look of stinginess, "Can you give me a discount? Or maybe a beginner's package?"
[Friendly reminder: Given that the host currently has insufficient balance and the current opponent belongs to 'Civilization Cleaners', this system provides one last 'First Recharge Rebate' service.]
[As long as you pay your entire balance, you can redeem the "Law of Causality Striker (Limited Time Trial Version)".]
[Note: Because it is a trial version, the target might, due to some force majeure, display an extremely pitiable... physiological loss of control within the next three seconds.]
A wicked smile curled at the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth.
"Diarrhea again?"
"That move is pretty nasty, I like it."
He took a deep breath and pressed the final confirmation on the ethereal system interface.
"Exchange it."
"Since they want to come and clean the Solar System, let's have them clean out their own intestines first."
Golden light flashed and vanished in his sea of consciousness.
In Jiang Chen's hand, out of thin air, appeared a remote control with an archaic design, looking almost like a product from the last century.
There was only one button on it, and it was also red.
Next to it was a thoughtful line of small text: [As long as you press it, the other party will have bad luck.]
"Simple."
Jiang Chen tossed the remote control to Zhao Gang beside him, "Take this. When the enemy mothership enters range later, you just point it at those coordinates and press it."
Zhao Gang looked at the dilapidated remote control in his hand, completely bewildered:
"Boss, can this thing really blow up the mothership?"
"It can't blow it up."
Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair, watching the aggressive red dot on the screen, smiling cruelly, "But it can let those The Sweepers know what it means to experience... malice from the depths of the universe."
"Remember this."
"Don't treat it as a weapon."
"Treat it as..."
Jiang Chen paused, his tone light as if he were joking, "A super prank item that can make the entire upper echelons of the Milky Way Galaxy look like a joke."
"Enemy fleet has entered optimal strike range."
"Distance, five hundred kilometers."
"Begin."
Jiang Chen snapped his fingers lightly.
On the screen, that fleet of The Sweepers was performing its final jump.
Just at the moment they were about to exit the jump channel and reveal their true form.
Zhao Gang nervously pressed the red button.
There was no fire.
There was no vibration.
Only on the other side of the screen, in the command center of that massive mothership, there suddenly came an extremely clear, yet filled with endless despair—
Rumbling sound.
It was the sound of five thousand alien Commanders, at the exact same moment, due to extreme abdominal spasms, producing a bowel movement sound that shook the entire Milky Way Galaxy.
"What the f*ck!"
Zhao Gang listened to the noise coming from the headset, completely messed up, "Is... is this the so-called Law of Causality strike?"
"Is this... a biochemical terrorist attack?"
Jiang Chen held back his laughter and took a sip of warm water:
"Don't rush, the good show has only just begun."
"Get ready to welcome the first wave of... gifts from these guests."
"By the way, have Ikaros send out a tweet for me."
"The content should say..."
"Chenxing Technology, friendly reminder: When traveling far away, pay attention to dietary hygiene and don't eat garbage randomly."
He looked at the distant enemy mothership, which had started to wobble in space and had clearly lost its combat capability, feeling more comfortable than ever.
"This weapon... although it's a bit dirty."
"But it's really... dirty and satisfying."
He looked back at the star map, his eyes filled with a sense of control over this absurd war.
Battle, perhaps, isn't that complicated.
Sometimes it just requires a little bit of... "unprincipled" strategy.
"Next."
Jiang Chen stood up, straightened his collar, and looked at the alien command layer on the screen, which was in complete chaos due to "physiological loss of control."
He understood that after this wave, these so-called high-level The Sweepers, even if they didn't die, would never have the face to stand in the universe again.
"Move the luan bird forward."
"Since they collapsed first."
"Then we'll go over and pack up these 'diarrhea-stricken' aliens and bring them back."
"After all, these will be the first batch of... high-quality fertilizer for our base in the future."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gang was completely dumbfounded, almost dropping the expensive communicator in his hand.
This boss really doesn't leave any way out for the aliens!
He even arranged for them to be used as fertilizer?
He saluted, suppressing his laughter, and began issuing orders to the entire ship.
Watching that massive spaceship drawing a brilliant trail in the starry sky and charging directly into the enemy's embrace, a common thought rose in everyone's heart.
Following this boss.
This life.
It's absolutely worth it!
The lights in the command center dimmed.
The massive engine light of the luan bird became the brightest and most lethal beam of light in this dark forest.
The story has only just turned its most insane page.
