124: Dimensionality reduction strike! Welcome to God's hunting ground!

Lin Mo’s voice, amplified through the Bridge’s intercom system, was as calm as the final judgment of the God of Death.

“Flame Breath, target, enemy flagship.”

Whoosh—!

A golden torrent of destruction erupted from Fafnir’s colossal, sky-obscuring mouth!

That was no mundane flame.

That was divine flame!

It was the God’s fierce flame, a blend of the two supreme laws: “Destruction” and “Termination”!

Wherever the flame passed, space, unable to bear the burden, boiled and disintegrated, and even light itself was devoured and twisted amidst a wail!

“It’s the monster’s breath! What are you panicking about?!”

Black Shark felt all the blood in his body freeze instantly.

A shiver from the depths of his soul made him almost unable to breathe.

But his ferocity, honed from years of living on the edge, forcibly suppressed this fear, letting out a beast-like roar.

“Evade! Full power evade!”

“Direct all energy to the engines and shields! All energy!”

He shrieked hysterically, his voice already distorted, yet still carrying a final trace of mad confidence.

This was his Diamond-class dreadnought, the black shark, which he had acquired by spending half his life’s savings and countless lives!

Every piece of armor on the hull’s surface was a Platinum-grade special alloy!

The energy shield could even withstand three volleys from main cannons of the same class!

A mere monster’s breath… no matter how strong, could it be stronger than the simultaneous firing of three dreadnoughts’ main cannons?!

The black shark’s energy shield was instantly pushed to its limit.

The thick, blood-red shield glowed blindingly, like an indestructible, blood-colored turtle shell, and a ferocious shark totem even appeared on its surface, letting out a silent roar!

At the same time, a dozen main engines at the stern sprayed dazzling blue flames, pushing the massive hull with all their might for a clumsy sideways evasion!

However, all these struggles seemed futile and ridiculous in the face of absolute power.

The moment the golden torrent of divine fire touched the Black Shark’s shield.

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

There wasn't even a violent energy clash.

That Diamond-class energy shield, which Black Shark was so proud of, did not shatter in front of the divine fire; instead, it began a silent “evaporation,” like snow melting under sunlight!

The blood-red shark totem didn't even have time to wail before it dissolved and disintegrated in the golden light, turning into the most primitive energy particles.

“Shield… shield energy is disappearing! Oh my God! It’s being erased!”

The shield operator screamed in despair, watching the energy reading instantly drop to zero.

Click… crack!

It wasn’t the shield shattering, but the sound of the shield generator overloading and burning out!

After barely a second, that indestructible barrier exploded into countless specks of light!

This was not a confrontation on an energy level at all.

This was a higher-dimensional, law-based obliteration!

“No!!!”

black shark’s eyes widened almost to the point of splitting, his pupils reflecting the constantly expanding, golden death.

The black shark’s full-power evasion saved half its life at the last moment.

The destructive torrent of flames grazed its side hull.

Hiss—!

The thick and sturdy Platinum-grade alloy armor was instantly melted and vaporized, leaving behind a terrifying, bottomless scar with molten metal still flowing at its edges!

That scar cut through nearly one-third of the battleship's hull!

Countless compartments, along with the crew inside, were directly hollowed out, without even time to scream, completely turning into nothingness!

Inside the flagship’s Bridge, alarms blared, and sparks flew everywhere!

Everyone was thrown off balance by the terrifying shockwave, groaning in agony!

Black Shark was flung from the commander’s chair by a huge force, slamming heavily against the wall behind him, and violently spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.

“Is this the power of the ‘Termination’ law… not destruction, but complete ‘erasure,’ a cruel and efficient aesthetic.”

Lin Mo looked at the battered flagship on the light screen, his eyes calm as an ancient well, making the coldest assessment in his mind.

He switched to a private channel and softly spoke to the blue phantom, which was wreaking havoc on the battlefield:

“Zhi Xia, do you like the second act of this fireworks show?”

Gu Zhixia, who was in the process of flipping a frigate with a single shot, heard the voice from the communicator, tinged with a hint of indulgence and playfulness, and felt the earth-shshattering divine power behind her. The corners of her mouth uncontrollably curved into a breathtaking arc, and her breathing quickened a few beats.

“Not enough.”

She licked her dry lips, her voice carrying a hint of languor after satiety and an even stronger craving.

“I want to see them all turn into wreckage!”

“As you wish.”

Lin Mo’s voice, like a death knell, once again sounded emotionlessly on the Bridge.

“Mythical-grade tracking missile array, full salvo launch.”

On both sides and above the Natural Selection’s hull, hundreds of hidden launch ports silently slid open.

The next second, thousands of missiles, trailing ethereal blue tail flames, swarmed like a vengeful beehive, covering the sky and earth.

They covered the Black Sail Fleet’s right flank and central formation!

These missiles would perform brief spatial jumps during their flight.

Sometimes disappearing, sometimes reappearing from another tricky angle, their flight paths were unpredictable, making it impossible for conventional fire control radar to lock onto them!

“Warning! Warning! Detecting a large number of unlocakable ghost signals approaching at high speed!”

“Targets are performing spatial jumps! Our fire control system is completely jammed!”

“Interception failed! Interception failed! They’re coming! Ah—!”

The Black Sail Fleet’s communication channel was instantly drowned out by piercing alarms and the terrified, desperate screams of the crew.

Those phantom-like missiles easily bypassed their hastily formed interception firepower net, accurately drilling into the gaps in the battleships’ energy shields or their defensive blind spots.

Continuous explosions erupted violently within the Black Sail Fleet’s formation!

In just an instant, the Black Sail Fleet’s right flank was completely crippled by this utterly unreasonable missile rain!

Dozens of warships spun helplessly on the sea, emitting thick black smoke, and some even had their ammunition depots detonated, exploding into spectacular fireballs!

“No… impossible…”

Black Shark slumped in his tilted commander’s chair, which had been shaken.

He watched the rapidly extinguishing lights on the screen representing friendly forces, watched his fleet, in less than ten minutes, be utterly routed and nearly annihilated by two individuals and one ship!

His mind was blank.

This was no longer a battle.

This was a unilateral, dimensionality reduction strike!

It was the judgment of a god upon mortals!

He finally understood.

He suddenly recalled the unprecedented seriousness on “Boss’s” usually cynical face before they set off.

“Black Shark, remember, this isn’t a hunt; it’s a ‘reception.’”

“Welcome our ‘distinguished guests’ with your strongest power, and then pray that it’s enough.”

At the time, he thought “Boss” was making a fuss over nothing.

Now he understood the chilling fear contained within those words!

They weren’t welcoming some fat sheep fresh out of theNovice Village (newbie village) at all.

Instead, it was an ancient fiend that had just emerged from the arena called “Purgatory” in the Initial Sea Region!

They weren’t hunters.

They… were the first sacrifice offered to the fiend.
