215: My Lord, times have changed.
When Death asked the Bear People commander what his biggest regret in Life was, the Bear People commander said, "I was so foolish, truly. I shouldn't have foolishly faced that pitch-black cannon muzzle. I thought the energy density was nothing special, but I didn't realize that was just its lie."
As the Star Destroyer Cannon finished accumulating energy, the Bear People commander felt a little unnerved, but he still bravely continued his attack.
Although this energy was vast, its density was insufficient, posing a very limited threat to him.
"Fire."
Inside the Star Destroyer Cannon, energy instantly erupted, compressed into a beam. A terrifyingly dense beam of light burst forth, instantly incinerating the Bear People commander who was staring at the muzzle, and all other soldiers in its path were also turned to ash.
The Star Destroyer Cannon's target was the Orc Empire's command tent.
Amidst the horrified gazes of the Orc People, the Star Destroyer Cannon struck the command tent's protective shield.
The protective shield began to fluctuate violently, and the energy within the Star Core was rapidly depleted. Accompanying the fluctuations were the pounding hearts of the Orc Empire's high-ranking officials.
In that one-thousandth of a second, the protective shield was overwhelmed and completely shattered.
The Orc Empire's high-ranking officials were engulfed by the light beam in despair.
A tremendous roar echoed across the entire battlefield. A mushroom cloud, centered on the Orc Empire's command tent, began to spread, devouring the Life of one Orc Empire soldier after another.
At that moment, a dazzling light suddenly bloomed in the sky, as if the sun had abruptly descended. Following that, a powerful shockwave spread out at an astonishing speed, leveling everything in its path. The ground was torn open, and massive craters swallowed all Life and matter, as if nature's wrath had erupted at that moment.
The heatwave generated by the explosion rolled in, the air seemed to ignite, and the temperature rose sharply. Flames burned fiercely, consuming everything around them in their scorching embrace. Distant mountains collapsed under the assault of the heatwave, rivers evaporated in the high temperatures, and the entire world seemed to be engulfed in a sea of fire.
As the shockwave receded, a deathly silence enveloped the land.
On this devastated land, the surviving Orc People struggled to find hope, trying to escape. Their faces were etched with fear and despair.
The Three-Race Alliance's protective shield, located far away, was affected by the shockwave and suffered significant energy loss, let alone the Orc People who bore the brunt of the attack?
The command tent had become a bottomless pit, with only a charred figure floating above it. Most of the surrounding soldiers were dead, with only a few lucky ones surviving.
Mu Dan struggled to raise his hand. On his chest, a necklace lost its last glimmer and turned to powder. It was a Life-saving item given to him, the commander, by the Orc Empire.
"Damn it, damn it, what kind of weapon is this? Why is it so terrifying?" Mu Dan roared frantically in his heart.
Using his last bit of strength, he took out a Life-saving medicine from his spatial ring and swallowed it.
The Royal Knights had already withdrawn from the front line. They were surrounded by fear, watching that doomsday-like attack, and no one could remain calm.
Seeing Mu Dan still alive at this moment, they felt as if they had found their backbone and gathered around him.
"Quickly retreat," Mu Dan said his last words before falling unconscious.
The deputy commander of the Royal Knights, a Lion People, took over command and immediately announced a retreat, even abandoning the wounded soldiers still alive on the battlefield.
The Three-Race Alliance did not pursue them, as most of the Royal Knights' strength was still preserved.
Annihilating the Orc Empire's command tent with one shot, and the aftershock consuming the Life of millions of Orc Empire soldiers—this was the power of the Star Destroyer Cannon.
That bottomless pit was the Star Destroyer Cannon's indelible achievement.
"It's too terrifying, is this the Star Destroyer Cannon?" The high-ranking officials of the Three-Race Alliance could not suppress their excitement.
"We won! With just one shot, millions of Orc Empire soldiers vanished in this single blast."
The Orc Empire had brought over ten million soldiers, and now only about two million are estimated to be alive.
"It's beautiful, this is true art!" A high-ranking Elf Race official could not suppress her excitement. Isn't this better than writing poems, painting, or playing music? She decided to abandon art for martial arts.
Lin Ye was also filled with shock at this. The power of the Star Destroyer Cannon had already surpassed the Stellar River Level.
Its attack range far exceeded the Stellar River Level; it was just that its energy density was far inferior.
All in all, it truly lived up to its name, Star Destroyer.
If it were in space, destroying a planet with one shot would be no joke, and to achieve the strength of destroying a planet with one punch, one would need to reach the Stellar River Level.
Of course, Lin Ye's Dragon God Claw could also do it.
However, ordinary Life planets usually have defense systems, so destroying them with one shot would also be impossible.
"With this one shot, I'm afraid the Orc People won't dare to invade for a long time," Yang Hongyu said. This was the power of runic technology.
......
On the human side, there was jubilation, while on the Orc People's side, it was as if their father had died.
The main force slowly marched away, and the news had already reached the Orc Empire's Imperial Court.
The High Priest Ireland found it unbelievable, but the message also contained a video of the world-destroying scene, which forced him to believe.
"High Priest, what kind of magic is this? Did the other side send out a strong expert?" A Fox Race priest asked in terror. With his knowledge, he had no idea about the other side's methods.
"I don't know either," Ireland shook his head. Ten thousand years of experience had given him immense composure; even facing such a crushing defeat, he remained unshaken.
"What about the accompanying angels? Weren't they supposed to be protecting us in secret?" A Leopard Race warrior was furious.
"They also turned to ash."
For a moment, the Imperial Court was so quiet that a pin could be heard dropping.
The angel squad dispatched this time was much stronger than the average combat power of the Orc People, and they were also skilled in combined attack techniques, capable of maneuvering even against a Stellar River Level opponent.
But unexpectedly, even this elite squad of angels protecting Mu Dan was completely annihilated.
"Perhaps we should consult the Goddess," a warrior said.
Everyone agreed. Our knowledge is insufficient, but surely the Goddess isn't without knowledge? Impossible, absolutely impossible.
When Ireland's inquiry was sent to the Hunting Goddess Paniel via an angel, Paniel was also stunned.
She didn't know either.
Gods have a perception of their angels. When she perceived the Death of that angel squad, her first reaction was that they had encountered a top-tier expert, but she never expected it to be such a thing.
The Hunting Goddess, after all, was a newly born deity, and her knowledge was indeed a bit limited. If it were on other continents, where there was more fighting between Life and various cosmic races, they would naturally know what this thing was.
The Goddess decided to ask her former superior, the Goddess of Harvest, Klorona.
Given their past connection and Klorona's relatively gentle nature as a deity, she patiently explained everything to her.
Paniel suddenly understood. It wasn't her fault; after all, she had never fought against various cosmic races when she was an angel, and the continent where she collected faith was also a relatively primitive one.
For a moment, she had an impulse to give up.
