278: Chapter 278 Let's increase their intensity

Chen Xi cleared his throat, and his voice, full of seductive power like a pyramid scheme leader, boomed within the exclusive game channel of Earth's "fourth calamity":

"Attention all players!"

"The large-scale epic world event—[Orion Interstellar Marauder War] has been triggered!"

"Enemy Composition: One thousand alien pirate ships loaded with high-dimensional top-tier equipment! One Lv.110 humanoid Mythic Mega BOSS!"

"Mission Objectives: Annihilate the enemy forces! Loot them clean!"

"Mission Rewards: Enemy loot drops will manifest 100% losslessly into your real-world bodies! Furthermore, the top ten thousand players in terms of damage contribution will be directly rewarded with a luxury sea-view apartment within the Imperial Capital's Second Ring Road plus a limited edition mecha!"

"Comrades..."

The smile on Chen Xi's face grew increasingly arrogant. With a grand wave of his hand, the warp gate of the [Heaven-Reaching Divine Domain] leading to the vacuum of the universe swung wide open at this moment to the tens of millions of Earth's "fourth calamity" members!!!

"Close the doors! Release the hounds!!!"

"Go and show these ignorant alien locals..."

"What! Real! Intensity! Looks! Like!!!"

In the cold, deep, and silent vacuum of space.

Along with the final ultimatum from Garu, the Great Commander of the Orion Interstellar Raiders, which was filled with contempt and killing intent, the local space of the entire Sirius Sector seemed to be completely frozen by an invisible, terrifying, and solemn aura.

"Ten seconds are up. It seems you uncivilized carbon-based monkeys intend to mistake stupidity for backbone."

Garu's massive semi-mechanical body hovered over the flagship's command deck. His single electronic eye, flickering with a crimson glow, stared fixedly at the hologram screen showing the Earth Expeditionary Force fleet standing in combat readiness, his mouth splitting into a cruel and hideous metallic arc.

"Since you have forfeited the honor of becoming slaves, then turn into cosmic dust! All fleet, hear my command—"

"[Anti-Psionic Field], deploy at maximum power!"

"[Gravity Collapse Cannon], main battery charging complete. For me... fire!!!"

BOOM————!!!!!

Under the physical laws where sound cannot travel in a vacuum, the soldiers of the Earth Expeditionary Force only saw a terrifying, silent scene that made their very souls tremble.

The enemy's thousand-plus dark-red marauder warships, resembling bloodthirsty behemoths, suddenly erupted with a layer of eerie gray-white ripples across their hulls. These ripples swept across the entire starry sky at faster-than-light speeds, instantly enveloping the Earth Expeditionary Force fleet entirely.

"Fire! Strike back with everything you've got!!!"

Commander-in-Chief Lei Zhentian's eyes bulged with rage inside the flagship, his Lv.95 Lightning Battle Qi burning frantically as he slammed down the button for a full-army simultaneous volley.

In an instant, tens of thousands of plasma main cannons and void element compression shells from the Earth fleet—all modified with the latest Magitech—turned into a dazzling nine-colored river of light. Carrying the unyielding fury of humanity, they poured toward the enemy fleet!

However, a scene of suffocating despair occurred.

When that Magitech fire net, sufficient to melt a dozen Earths instantly, touched the gray-white ripples of the [Anti-Psionic Field]...

There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any stalemate of energy annihilation.

Those beams and shells containing violent magical elements actually seemed like snow falling into boiling water. With a "hissing" sound, they directly lost all magical activity, turning into clusters of harmless ordinary light spots before completely vanishing without a trace in the vacuum of space!

"This... how is this possible?!"

A group of high-ranking generals from the Southern District Military looked at the energy output readings on the radar screen that had instantly dropped to zero. Their faces were ashen, and their legs were shaking uncontrollably.

"Our Magitech cannons... failed?! The moment all elemental magic touched those ripples, the underlying magical structures were forcibly dismantled!"

"Hahaha! Stupid natives!"

Garu's piercing mechanical laughter once again forced its way into the Earth fleet's communication channel:

"Magic? Psionics? That primitive method of relying on sensing cosmic free energy is like a primitive man waving a wooden stick at an interstellar warship in the face of our high-level silicon-based civilization's [Anti-Psionic Technology]! Your attacks aren't even worthy of polishing our armor!"

"Now, feel what true high-dimensional technology is!"

Following Garu's wild laughter, the dark main cannon muzzles of the dozens of heavy battleships at the front of the marauder fleet suddenly spat out pillars of terrifying, distorted black light—[Gravity Collapse Cannons]!

These black light pillars did not directly strike the Earth warships. Instead, they were precisely fired into the void at the center of the Earth fleet's formation.

In the next second, space was forcibly distorted!

"Buzz buzz buzz——!!!"

A terrifying gravitational vortex that simply could not be blocked by conventional shields formed violently in the center of the Earth fleet. This gravity no longer pushed outward but collapsed inward frantically! The surrounding space was like a crumpled piece of waste paper, and even light was forcibly dragged into it.

"Warning! Hull structure is under extreme gravitational tearing! Gravity maintenance system has collapsed!"

"The third wing formation has lost power! It is being swallowed by the gravitational vortex!"

Under everyone's despairing gazes, hundreds of Earth vanguard warships in the center of the gravitational collapse were pulled together by that irresistible cosmic power before their engines could even overload. The hard dark matter alloy armor let out ear-piercing screeching sounds under this force, and then, like crushed soda cans, hundreds of warships were compressed into a mass of high-density scrap metal less than one-thousandth of their original volume!

The tens of thousands of elite Earth soldiers inside the warships couldn't even let out a scream before they were crushed into meat paste along with their ships!

"Bastard!!! I'll kill you!!!"

Seeing his compatriots die miserable deaths, Commander-in-Chief Lei Zhentian's eyes nearly split from rage. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was about to rush out of the flagship regardless of the cost, wanting to use his Lv.95 demigod body to strike at those terrifying Gravity Collapse Cannons.

"Old Lei! You're crazy! That's a conceptual weapon that can't be blocked by a physical body! Going there is just throwing your life away!" Li Zhenhai firmly grabbed Lei Zhentian. This iron-blooded man who had once fought his way out of piles of corpses also had blood-red eyes at this moment.

On this interstellar battlefield where the technological gap was like a chasm, the experts and Magitech that the Earth Expeditionary Force was proud of appeared so pale and powerless.

"It's not over yet. Next, let your flagship turn into dust as well."

Garu coldly swung down his mechanical arm on the holographic screen.

Dozens of even thicker black gravity collapse beams wove into a giant web of death in space, directly locking onto the Earth Expeditionary Force's central flagship!
