Kepler 452c.

The gray, iron-rich planet silently orbits in its own path.

Stellar winds from the host star quietly swept across its atmosphereless surface, stirring up tiny fragments.

Gravity pulls it along, causing it to move in the same motion day after day—a motion that has been maintained for billions of years.

If there are no external influences, it can continue for billions of years.

Around it, hundreds of massive starships formed a standard hollow sphere structure.

The antimatter engines at their tails emitted a faint glow, propelling them to maintain their position.

Illuminated by the light of the host star, the surfaces of these starships gleamed with an incredibly bright metallic sheen.

Clearly, they are all "freshly baked" newcomers.

Suddenly, the antimatter engines at the sterns of these hundreds of starships began to glow brightly.

From the surface of Kepler-452c, it appeared as if hundreds of incredibly bright suns had suddenly appeared in the silent night sky!

The gravitational field generator has started operating.

With precise calculations, a joint gravity shield constructed from hundreds of Golden Crow battleships is slowly taking shape.

Unlike the gravity shields surrounding the starship, this gravity shield is oriented in the opposite direction—it is designed to protect against "attacks" from within.

As the gravity shield's strength gradually increased, a massive red and black starship slowly sailed in from afar and filled the last vacant spot on the gravity shield.

...

"here we go!"

Wang Man glanced at the data on the holographic projection beside him, and his expression immediately became excited: "The gravity shield has been constructed, and the next step is to launch the planet-destroying cannon!"

The moment the words fell, the muzzles of the Suzaku Star Destroyer began to glow faintly purple.

As energy gradually accumulated, the purple light emanating from the muzzle of the planet-destroying cannon intensified.

Gradually, the purple light overshadowed the light emitted by the antimatter engine at the tail of the starship, and also the light emitted by the distant star.

Purple became the only visible color on the surface of Kepler-452c.

boom!

At the moment when the purple light reached its peak, a thick laser beam emerged from the cannon muzzle and shot straight toward the gray planet ahead.

Ten seconds later, the high-energy laser beam traversed a vast distance and struck the surface of the gray planet.

The high temperature instantly melted its ground.

Blowing a planet apart is not something that can be done simply by setting up some explosives.

Even a super-powerful nuclear bomb, or an antimatter bomb, can only create a small crater on the surface of a massive planet.

Even the strongest fortress has internal flaws.

Therefore, the first thing the planet-destroying cannon needs to do is to create a passage to the planet's core!

High-energy laser weapons are definitely the best choice.

Neither iron-rich nor rocky planets can withstand the ridiculously high temperatures of high-energy laser beams.

Under the influence of the laser beam, the metal that makes up Kepler 452c has already melted into molten iron.

They flowed freely across the surface of the gray planet, then slowly solidified into gray scars, like the planet shedding its last tears.

The purple high-energy laser beam continued to drill deep into the Earth's core.

The high temperature activated the core of Kepler-452c, which had been solidified for countless billions of years.

A violent earthquake struck from underground, and deep, bottomless ravines began to appear on the surface of the earth, which had become somewhat smooth from being polished by stellar winds!

"drop!"

A crisp notification sound rang in my ears.

The logo on the holographic projection made Wang Man and Tang Hairong instinctively hold their breath.

It's connected!

A high-energy laser beam successfully penetrated the ground beneath Kepler-452c!

Thus, the Star Destroyer Cannon enters its second form.

The power of the purple laser beam began to decay—from then on, it only needed to maintain the existence of this channel.

An antimatter bomb, wrapped in layers of material, was fired from the cannon and, following the laser beam, fell straight into the depths of Kepler-452c's core!

During its descent, the heat-resistant armor surrounding the antimatter bomb continuously melted under the influence of the laser beam.

Ultimately, the moment the antimatter bomb reached the Earth's core, the outer heat-resistant armor completely collapsed.

Bang!

The bomb has been detonated!

The antimatter contained within immediately came into contact with the incredibly dense planetary core material on the outer periphery.

An annihilation reaction then occurs!

The immense energy generated by the annihilation of matter and antimatter turned this newly activated Earth's core into a powerful bomb!

As the purple laser beam slowly died down, the flash of fire from the explosion streaked across the depths of the Earth's core!

In Kepler-452c, countless bottomless fissures instantly appeared on the Earth's surface!

In the next instant, the spherical planet shattered into pieces, turning into countless fragments along with the molten iron.

Under the impact of the antimatter bomb, these fragments of all sizes quickly overcame their own gravity and shot off in all directions!

The effects of the gravity shield began to appear.

It's more accurate to call it a gravity cage than a gravity shield.

Under the influence of the gravitational cage, the speed of these scattered planetary fragments gradually decreased, and they all came to a standstill in the cold, lifeless space.

In just a few tens of minutes, a complete planet was transformed into a dense cluster of asteroids.

The molten iron, glowing red-hot, bridged the asteroids, creating a magnificent spectacle.

"What the hell……"
