106: The majesty of the gods, a projection of the starry sky.
Along with Chu He's flat yet supremely majestic words, the light in the entire Council Hall suddenly dimmed.
No, it wasn't the light dimming.
Rather, the scenery of the entire space was undergoing an unfathomable transformation!
Michael, Hogan, and all the Dragon City generals present were horrified to find that the walls, ceiling, floor... everything around them had vanished.
In their place was a deep, vast, and cold endless starry sky!
It was as if they had been transported to the depths of the Universe in an instant; beneath their feet was nothingness, and above their heads were the stars.
A massive and beautiful azure planet floated quietly not far from them. Its familiar continental outlines and oceans were their home—the Azure Star.
"This... what is this? An illusion?" Hogan, a battle-hardened general, spoke with a trembling voice.
"No... it's not an illusion!" Michael's eyes were filled with terror, and the energy detector on his person emitted a piercing alarm. "We... we're really in space! Is this... a spatial projection? No, this is real space!"
They couldn't understand how a single person could replace a space with the scenery of the Universe with his bare hands.
This was no longer technology, but a miracle! It was the authority of a Creator!
Just as everyone was plunged into immense shock and panic, Chu He's voice rang out again.
"Watch closely."
He slowly raised his hand and pointed casually at a spot in the distant starry sky.
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, but they could only see a pitch-black void.
But in the next second, a previously invisible speck of light in that void suddenly erupted with incomparably brilliant light and then... was annihilated.
"What... what was that?" someone asked in a trembling voice.
"It's... it's Asteroid No. 734..." A Dragon City Technical Officer responsible for astronomical monitoring said, his face pale as he looked at the device on his wrist that was alarming frantically. "An asteroid with a diameter... of over five kilometers... is just... gone..."
Everyone gasped.
Across an unknown distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, a casual point of a finger had wiped out an asteroid?
This had completely exceeded the limits of their imagination!
However, Chu He's demonstration was not yet over.
His finger turned toward the satellite floating not far from the Azure Star, a greyish-white body covered in craters—the dim White Moon.
"Do you think this is big enough?"
Chu He asked softly.
Then, pressing his fingers together like a blade, he made a slashing motion through the air toward the massive satellite.
It was silent.
A bottomless, massive "scar" that spanned the entire front of the moon appeared out of thin air on its surface!
That scar was longer than the longest canyon on the planet and deeper than the deepest trench! It was as if a god had used an invisible giant blade to leave an eternal mark on the moon!
"..."
"..."
The entire Council Hall—or rather, this replaced starry sky—fell into an absolute, deathly silence.
Michael and Hogan, the messengers representing the two giant factions, felt their legs go weak. With a "thud," they knelt directly in the void.
On their faces, there was no longer fear or shock, only the purest... numbness in the face of the unknown and the great.
Their brains had stopped thinking.
The so-called ultimate weapons, the so-called mutual destruction—at this moment, they had all become a colossal joke.
Before a being who could casually perform "surgery" on the moon, their pathetic trump cards didn't even count as dust.
Chu He looked at their despondent states and nodded inwardly.
The Divine Sense of the Soul Transformation Stage could already begin to interfere with reality and warp Laws. What he had just done was merely cover the starry sky with his Divine Sense and then mobilize a trace of the power of Laws to simulate the effect of an attack.
For him, the consumption was negligible.
But for these natives who didn't even have Spiritual Qi, this was undoubtedly a power on the level of a Creator God.
Sometimes, a proper display of muscle is far more useful than nonsense.
Chu He waved his hand, and the surrounding starry scenery receded like a tide, returning the Council Hall to its original state.
But everyone's hearts remained forever in that cold Universe.
"Now, do you have anything else to say?" Chu He sat back on his throne, looking down at the kneeling Michael and Hogan.
"N-no... nothing else... We... deserve death..." Michael was shaking like a leaf, unable to utter a complete sentence.
"Go back and tell your masters," Chu He's voice sounded like the final judgment. "I have no interest in hearing their nonsense, nor do I have time to play games with them."
"Three days."
"In three days, I want to see Eden's 'God' and Valhalla's 'Odin' in Dragon City."
"Bringing all their core technologies and all their rare resources, they are to kneel before me and swear their allegiance."
"If they are late, I will not wait."
