268: Chapter 270 All of Humanity Assembles! Even Gods Will Take a Bite.
At this moment, the entire Solar System had completely turned into a battlefield.
This was not the cold, blinking red dots on a radar screen, but a real, bloody war.
In Earth's orbit.
Tens of thousands of modified cargo ships that had taken off from the Chenxing Base had now completely stripped away all their civilian facilities.
Their decks had been forcibly retrofitted with electromagnetic rails dismantled from the Wasteland civilization, along with laser turrets scavenged from alien ruins, whose manuals they hadn't even managed to decipher.
These were not ships.
These were tens of thousands of burning sparks.
"Attention, all units."
Jiang Chen's voice echoed through every communication channel via the luan bird's broadcast system, "This is not a drill, nor is it some so-called 'investment promotion.' Those bastards on the other side want to sweep our planet away like garbage."
"Are you afraid?"
He didn't try to be sentimental; he just asked calmly.
But this single sentence traveled through everyone's radio receivers, reaching deep into the soul of every person.
"Afraid, my ass!"
The answer that came back was Zhao Gang's deafening roar.
It was a roar that erupted from every single ship; the voices of tens of thousands merged together, actually drowning out the low hum of the warship engines.
"Boss, our lives were yours to begin with!"
"If it weren't for that can of insecticide you gave us, we would have long since rotted away in the virus!"
"If we really die today, then we'll build a monument for these aliens right here on the Moon!"
Jiang Chen grinned and laughed.
Watching those Longguo ships on the screen, rushing toward the enemy formation without hesitation like moths to a flame, his eyes shone with an unprecedented brightness.
Is this what the people of Longguo are like?
Even when facing a "God-level Civilization" capable of crushing a galaxy with one hand, even knowing it was like throwing an egg against a rock, they still dared to chip a tooth off the enemy.
"Good."
Jiang Chen stood up straight, his entire being radiating an aura that made even space itself tremble.
"All units, attention."
"Defensive shields, set to maximum power!"
"Everything that can move, aim it all at the enemy mothership!"
"Since they want to sweep us away, then we'll show them just how hot this pile of garbage... really is!"
"Attack!"
"Rumble—!!!"
Following Jiang Chen's command, the defensive nodes at the edge of the entire Solar System were ignited completely.
Tens of thousands of particle beams, electromagnetic cannons, and even the few antimatter bombs that had been forcibly stuffed into cargo holds erupted simultaneously in a display of light that was brilliant to the extreme.
The scene looked as if the sun had exploded prematurely.
The entire deep space was dyed a dazzling purple-red.
This was the first time Earth civilization had actively roared toward the stars.
And at this moment.
That high-and-mighty main brain of the God-level Civilization seemed to be a bit bewildered by this sudden, dense attack that was like a torrential storm.
Its mothership, as massive as a Death Star, actually experienced a brief stagnation under the bombardment of countless particles.
"Detected suicide attack by a low-level civilization."
"Energy level: Extremely low."
"Threat assessment: Near zero."
That cold electronic voice continued to echo in the universe, as if it hadn't even considered these attacks worthy of notice.
The very moment its mocking words hadn't even faded yet.
The bow of that massive mothership slowly opened a third eye.
It was an eyeball composed purely of dark energy, resembling an abyss.
It didn't aim at the ships that were charging, but directly locked onto the Moon Base, locking onto the "Space Elevator" that connected to Earth.
"Cleanup program: Level 2."
"Delete all material existence in the target area."
"Fire."
At that moment.
There was no sound, and there was no light.
That was not light.
That was the collapse of space itself.
The instant that destructive dark energy beam spewed forth, all the meteorites, abandoned ships, and even the drones used as defensive nodes along its path vanished instantly.
They weren't blown to pieces, nor were they incinerated.
Instead, they were directly "erased" at a physical level.
Not even basic particles remained.
That beam, carrying an unparalleled aura of annihilation, crossed the distance of tens of thousands of kilometers at near-teleportation speed and slammed fiercely into the Far Side of the Moon.
"Jiang Chen! Dodge quickly! That's a high-dimensional strike!"
Academician Chen Shuyin's heart-wrenching scream even drowned out the roar of the engines.
But it was already too late.
The beam fell.
The huge crater on the entire Far Side of the Moon, the site that once held alien ruins and was currently serving as the defensive Great Wall, after a strange distortion, simply... disappeared.
It was as if a piece had been ruthlessly erased from a drawing with an eraser.
The dust settled.
Leaving behind only a terrifying, bottomless pit with edges as smooth as a mirror.
The smoke cleared.
The base was gone.
All the defense towers had disappeared.
Even those few "alien slaves" who were directing the infrastructure construction had completely turned into nothingness.
In the command room.
Zhao Gang widened his eyes, looking at the Moon on the big screen that had been directly "scooped out" by a large chunk; his whole body seemed to have had its bones removed as he collapsed to the ground.
"Is... is this what a God is?"
"Not even giving us a chance to fight back?"
That gap was even greater than the one between ants and humans.
What electromagnetic railguns, what Causality Weapon—in front of that pure ray of destruction, they were simply a joke.
Jiang Wanqiu looked at that huge void, and the greatsword in her hand clattered to the ground.
The killing intent in her eyes dissipated, leaving only a sense of helplessness and panic in the face of an irresistible force.
But Jiang Chen, standing in front of the main console, did not collapse.
On the contrary.
His breathing became exceptionally steady in this instant, even... cold.
He looked at that bottomless pit, and the playful smile at the corner of his mouth not only didn't disappear but became even more sinister.
Because at the bottom of that deep pit, at that dimension cut that had been forcibly leveled, there was no expected nothingness.
Instead, it revealed a pale golden, glowing object, twitching constantly like a neuron—
"A pipe."
That was the only... "oxygen supply pipe" connecting to the edge of this farm.
"Found it."
Jiang Chen said softly.
A crazy flame burned in his eyes; it was the fervor of a hunter who had finally found the prey's heart.
"The Sweepers, right?"
"Want to harvest Earth, right?"
"Looks like your place... isn't some impenetrable fortress after all."
Jiang Chen turned around abruptly and waved at the group of Commanders behind him who were scared out of their wits:
"luan bird! Initiate overload!"
"Since it wants to clear away our defenses, then we'll follow this pipe and go straight... into its belly!"
"I want to make these Gods..."
"Have a good taste of what it means..."
"To die without knowing why!"
He pressed the final red button.
The warship's engines completely entered an overload state.
The luan bird rushed into the unhealed spatial rift like a meteorite.
In this desperate charge that wagered the dignity of Earth, Jiang Chen smiled.
Even if it is a God, today, in this grand finale, they will accompany me... to have a chunk of flesh torn off!
