74: Chapter 74 The Rod of God! Shattering Absolute Defense!

Earth's low orbit.

In the cold, dead silence of space, a massive circular metal array appeared out of thin air.

Inside the array, one hundred solid tungsten steel pillars, each ten meters long and half a meter in diameter, hung in perfect order.

These tungsten steel pillars had no thrusters and carried no explosives. They were purely solid metal.

As Chu Feng issued his command.

The locks on the metal array released simultaneously.

One hundred special tungsten steel pillars, each weighing ten tons, began to fall toward the surface, pulled by Earth's gravity.

At first, the speed was slow, but as they accelerated continuously, the tungsten steel pillars broke through the atmosphere.

Intense air friction caused the black metal surfaces to heat up rapidly, turning them into one hundred dazzling, massive fireballs.

Looking up from the ground.

In the night sky over the Alps, it was as if one hundred red meteors had suddenly appeared.

Trailing long flames, they smashed straight toward the main peak at a terrifying speed exceeding Mach 10.

On the snowy mountain battlefront.

Five hundred thousand European Union soldiers had originally been looking up, staring in terror at the leviathan-class aerospace carrier in mid-air.

Now, their attention was drawn to the meteor shower in the sky.

An armored soldier lying on the turret of a main battle tank swallowed hard as he watched the fireballs drawing closer.

"Meteors? Or missiles?" the armored soldier asked, his voice trembling.

No one answered him.

Because at Mach 10, these kinetic weapons far exceeded the speed of sound.

Before any sound of them breaking the air could be heard, destruction had already arrived.

The first tungsten steel pillar smashed fiercely against the inverted, pale blue energy shield.

"Boom—!"

There was no gunpowder smoke from an explosion. Only the pure release of kinetic energy.

A ring of visible white air shockwaves swept outward instantly from the point of impact.

The immense impact force caused the entire Alps to shake violently.

The pale blue shield flickered frantically, and ripples of intense energy appeared around the impact point.

Although the shield blocked this tungsten steel pillar, the snowy mountain beneath it could not withstand the vibrations transmitted downward.

Massive avalanches erupted instantly.

Before the European Union soldiers could react from the fear of the avalanches.

The second, third, and tenth tungsten steel pillars followed one after another!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The dense sounds of impact merged into one, as if an invisible giant hammer from the stars was frantically pounding against this turtle shell.

The kinetic energy carried by each tungsten steel pillar was equivalent to a small tactical nuclear bomb.

One hundred nuclear-level kinetic impacts struck the same spot in succession.

The powerful shockwaves passed directly through the shield, crushing everything on the surface of the snowy mountain.

The tens of thousands of main battle tanks on the main peak battlefront were tossed into the air like toys by the vibrations, then crashed heavily onto the rocks, smashing into piles of scrap metal.

The soldiers' eardrums ruptured instantly, and blood flowed from their seven orifices.

They couldn't even scream before the massive vibrational force shattered their internal organs alive.

Three hundred meters underground.

The Eden Project Command Center.

It was as if this place had experienced a magnitude 10 earthquake.

Large chunks of rock fell from the ceiling of the sturdy bunker, and the load-bearing pillars emitted harsh cracking sounds.

The heads of state and generals from over a dozen countries were all shaken to the ground, unable to even stand.

"Alert! Shield energy dropping vertically! Eighty percent... fifty percent..."

The operator, covered in blood, stared at the screen and shouted frantically.

"Impossible! This is technology from an alien ruin! It's powered by an entire element zero vein, how could it be smashed open!"

The Prime Minister of the British Empire clutched his head and roared in despair.

"Twenty percent... five percent!"

The operator's voice turned into a shrill scream, "Shield overload! The generator is about to melt down!"

Above the sky.

The eightieth tungsten steel pillar descended with the force of ten thousand tons.

"Crack—!"

A crisp shattering sound rang through the night sky.

The absolute defense, claimed to be able to block even asteroid impacts. The final trump card of the European Union.

In the face of pure mass and speed, it was like a glass dome struck by an iron hammer, instantly covered in dense cracks.

Immediately after, the blue light extinguished completely, and the shield shattered into a sky full of light particles.

The shield was broken.

But the meteor shower in the sky had not ended.

The remaining twenty tungsten steel pillars, having lost the obstruction of the shield, smashed solidly onto the main peak of the Alps.

"Rumble!"

The mountains collapsed and the earth split.

The main peak, thousands of meters high, was forcibly smashed away by half.

Countless tons of rock and snow turned into mudslides, completely filling in dozens of surrounding passes and ridges.

The five hundred thousand European Union troops stationed on the mountain, without even catching a glimpse of the enemy, were completely buried under hundreds of meters of rubble and ice along with their tanks and artillery.

leviathan-class aerospace carrier.

Inside the spacious and luxurious command cabin, it was so quiet that one could only hear the sound of red wine pouring into a glass.

Chu Feng sat on the command chair, looking at the Alps below the panoramic floor, its peak shorn off.

The kinetic weapons purchased for one million Wealth Points had performed perfectly.

There was no nuclear radiation; he had directly used physical means to smash the enemy into pulp.

The Wealth Points in the system account were currently zero.

But Chu Feng did not feel any heartache at all.

Because beneath the smashed-open ground lay the ultimate treasure that would cause a qualitative change in the system store.

Isabella knelt at Chu Feng's feet.

This silver-haired princess watched everything happening below, her entire body trembling uncontrollably.

Her proud, top-secret royal intelligence, the Eden shield that the European Union relied on for survival, hadn't even lasted ten minutes before being smashed to pieces.

Five hundred thousand troops were wiped out in an instant.

She had originally harbored a small hope, thinking that as long as the European Union still existed, she, as a royal heir, could still maintain some special value in front of Chu Feng.

Now, that ridiculous notion was completely shattered.

Isabella, her flawless body bare, lay obediently on the carpet, her breathing becoming extremely faint.

She now only prayed to be a secure plaything.

Helena was even more terrified, her face pale, her hands clutching tightly onto Chu Feng's military boots.

"Master is invincible..."

Helena's voice trembled, her eyes filled with blind adoration.

Chu Feng set down his wine glass.

"mother nest ai, activate the quantum jump matrix."

Chu Feng issued the command, "Send the Mecha Soldiers down. Take over the mining area and the underground ruins."

"Yes, Boss."

Below, on the ruins of the shorn-off Alps main peak.

A circle of huge blue quantum patterns lit up in mid-air.

Space twisted.

Ten thousand Clone Warriors wearing Type-Zero Mecha stepped directly out of the jump gate, stomping heavily onto the rubble-covered ground.

They paid no attention to the surviving coalition soldiers wailing while buried in the snow nearby.

The Mecha Soldiers walked with heavy strides toward the center of the main peak ruins.

The direct hit from the twenty tungsten steel pillars earlier had not only shattered the mountain peak but also completely collapsed the Eden command center hidden deep underground.

More importantly, the immense impact force had directly ripped open the surface rock layer.

A bottomless, massive sinkhole appeared in the center of the ruins.

Inside the sinkhole, a blinding, eerie purple light radiated out.

The ten thousand Mecha Soldiers turned on their searchlights and jumped directly down along the edge of the sinkhole.

The mechas' anti-gravity cushioning devices allowed them to land steadily at the bottom of the pit.

The helmet cameras transmitted the scene at the bottom of the pit in real-time back to the command cabin of the leviathan-class aerospace carrier.

Chu Feng looked at the holographic screen and stood up directly.

The bottom of the sinkhole was not soil or rock at all.

Instead, it was an endless vein of eerie purple ore.

The entire vein was full of extremely high-purity "element zero".

The reserves here were more than a hundred times greater than those of the Hollywood underground laboratory.

These ores emitted powerful energy fluctuations, illuminating the entire underground area.

And surrounded by the massive amount of ore.

Embedded in it was a colossal silver-black metal artifact.

Judging from the exposed part, this was merely a corner of the wreckage of a spaceship.

But even this corner was several times larger than Chu Feng's three-kilometer-long leviathan-class aerospace carrier!

The surface of the spaceship was covered in traces of erosion from the ages, with thick layers of ice in many places.

On the side of the spaceship, there was a massive hatch a hundred meters high.

The hatch was tightly closed. The kinetic impact of the tungsten steel pillars earlier hadn't even left a single scratch on the hatch.

"Boss. The scan results are in."

The mother nest ai's voice carried a hint of rare excitement.

"The material of this alien spaceship is completely beyond the understanding of Earth's technology."

"It contains complete interstellar navigation technology and blueprints for high-dimensional weapons."

"The European Union scientists only picked up a bit of trash from the outside of the ship, and they built the energy shield from earlier."

Chu Feng walked to the transparent porthole and looked down at the sinkhole below.

The element zero vein, plus this complete ancient interstellar spaceship.

As long as he opened the hatch and recovered everything inside, his system account would definitely see an unprecedented surge.

"Have the Mecha Soldiers use plasma cutting guns to cut the hatch open for me," Chu Feng ordered.

At the bottom of the sinkhole.

Thousands of Mecha Soldiers walked to the hundred-meter-high spaceship hatch and simultaneously drew their black plasma cutting guns.

Orange-red high-energy rays shot out, focusing on the gap of the hatch.

The high-temperature beams, capable of cutting through any metal on Earth, struck the alien spaceship's hatch.

Sparks flew everywhere.

The five-thousand-degree heat only managed to burn a barely perceptible red mark on the surface of the hatch; it couldn't even leave a single cut.
