"Prepare Neptune's main cannon." Kang Hui's deep voice boomed out.
For this final attack, the entire sequence of attacks would be personally commanded by him.
"The Soft Water Cannon is ready!" Huali's voice came from Neptune's cockpit.
In the final moments, Hua Li was personally in charge of firing the main cannon.
"Fire!" Kang Hui's voice boomed out.
"Fire!" Huali's voice boomed out.
Six orbs of brilliant blue light erupted from Neptune's main cannon. They left trails of flame in their wake as they raced toward Europa.
The Soft Water Cannon's power had been demonstrated more than once in the last battle. It was deadly to living creatures, and was one of the most difficult attacks the alien armies could muster.
In the space of a few breaths the six orbs of blue light reached Europa's surface.
The six blue light balls lined up in a row under the ingenious control before they were launched. They entered the purplish-red mist one after another according to the sequence.
The mist didn't change in response to their arrival. The first orb penetrated, then the second, then the third …
All six Soft Water Cannons burrowed into the mist.
Finally, the purplish-red mist began to surge violently.
Even from space they could see rings of blue light appear on Europa's surface. All six rings were arranged in a vertical line, stretching from the outermost layer of mist to the planet's interior.
This was Kang Hui's best plan of attack.
He didn't expect the Soft Water Cannons to deal enough damage to Europa. He wanted to use them to disperse the mist.
Heron's main cannon had disappeared into the mist. Kang Hui knew the aliens wouldn't do anything without reason. If there was a layer of mist on the planet's surface, then there had to be something strange about it. For example, it could absorb energy to protect itself. If that was the case, then he'd disperse it and attack without protection.
His tactic was very effective. The Soft Water Cannon was very suitable for dispersing the thick fog. One could clearly see that within the range of the blue halo, the purplish-red fog was disappearing like melting snow. One could already vaguely see the surface of the planet through the hole blasted out by the Soft Water Cannon.
Surprisingly, Europa's surface glowed a faint purple gold. It was a stark contrast to the ferocious purple-red of the planets the alien planets had once occupied. Strange structures could also be seen on the surface.
Of course, even if it was observed through space telescopes, it would still be difficult to see because of the remaining fog.
Kang Hui wasn't in the mood to enjoy the scenery. His second order came almost immediately after.
"Tyrannosaurus, fire your main cannons!"
Tyrannosaurus was already prepared. It turned around and aimed its main cannons at the area that had just been blasted open by the Weak Water Cannon. Blinding white light transformed into a rainbow that pierced through Europa like a giant spear, piercing straight into its interior.
"Heron, all battleships, fire!"
Kang Hui didn't hesitate to give the order as Tyrannosaurus launched its attack.
Thousands of beams of light followed Tyrannosaurus' main cannons as it fired toward Europa. They focused on the hole the Soft Water Cannons had created.
Even Poseidon unleashed a barrage of cannons as powerful as a battleship's main cannon.
At this time, no one would choose to hold anything back.
The terrifying explosion reverberated throughout the entire space, and the series of roars left an extremely deep impression on everyone.
The purple mist's effect seemed to fade, and the sound of explosions could be heard from the planet's surface.
Although he couldn't see what was happening, Kang Hui had calculated the power of the cannons.
"Middle Heaven, prepare the Final Ray!" He continued to issue orders.
In fact, if it had been an ordinary planet, it would have exploded under such a concentrated barrage of cannons.
But Kang Hui didn't care. He was going to unleash everything he had at his disposal, his most powerful attack. His goal was to destroy Europa.
Orange-Red light flickered from Middle Heaven's surface. Motes of red light shot out from the bastion and converged into a single beam of power. The Ultimate Ray had been used once before on the battlefield, and it had claimed the lives of many of the strongest aliens in the world.
This time it was aimed at Europa, where the alien home worlds were just about to complete their evolution.
It was a deadly blow to Kang Hui's hopes.
Europa was already riddled with holes after the first round of attacks. The Ultimate Ray's power was enough to destroy the planet.
Once it pierced through the planet's core, everything would be over.
He didn't believe in the immortal realm. To him, the home worlds' evolution was a matter of energy.
No matter how strong they were, once the planet was destroyed it wouldn't be able to evolve.
Everything was coming to an end!
Kang Hui's eyes also began to shine with excitement. Waiting for this day to come was also a huge torment for him!
The outcome of this battle would determine whether or not he would be able to return to Earth alive.
He could almost see his family and the people cheering. The human world would return to peace because of the end of this battle.
Exhaustion washed over him. If he could choose again, he'd rather not join the army. He'd rather live a peaceful life.
Perhaps he should at least take a long vacation when he returned to Earth. The military would surely approve of his application. He didn't want to attend any interviews or banquets.
His mind was a jumbled mess of thoughts, but they didn't affect his command.
"Ultimate Ray, fire!"
Kang Hui's order came at just the right time. Tyrannosaurus and the other battleships' main cannons were beginning to weaken.
The attack couldn't be stopped!
This would also have a stacking effect, which was undoubtedly the most destructive method. Kang Hui had already considered everything that needed to be considered. His goal was to completely destroy this planet.
A strong light flashed. The speed of the Ultimate Ray was too fast. In the blink of an eye, the attack was completed. All that could be seen was an orange-red light submerged in the afterglow of the many main cannons.
Could it be destroyed?
Kang Hui's hands curled into fists.
He wasn't the only one. Almost all of the allied commanders reacted the same way. Kang Hui ordered the troops to retreat.
Given the scale of Europa, the explosion would affect a large area and cause great damage to the allied forces.
All the light had weakened, and the purplish-red fog on the surface of the planet was still fluctuating violently. Only the area that was blasted open by the Weak Water Cannon was like a huge funnel, showing an empty state.
Why hadn't the explosion occurred yet?
Had the Ultimate Ray already pierced through the planet?
Kang Hui stared at the hole in the sky. Gradually he was able to see what was going on inside.
Through the magnification of his telescopes he could see that Europa was a world of purple and gold. None of the explosions had affected it in the slightest.
Meanwhile, a purplish-gold vortex had appeared at the target of their attack. The vortex was spinning violently as if it had been growing on the planet in the first place.
A faint orange light spread out from the center of the vortex. This was the power of the Ultimate Ray.
As the orange-gold light expanded, the entire planet began to tremble.
Success?
Kang Hui was overjoyed. The planet was shaking, a sign that it was about to self-destruct. He quickly ordered his troops to retreat to avoid being caught up in the blast.
But then he saw something change in the alien planets that had been sticking close to Europa.
The planet's spherical bodies became oblate, almost as if they were melting. They stuck to Europa's surface.
The purplish-red planet gradually turned purplish-gold as it rapidly shrank and transformed. Very soon, it disappeared into the thick fog.
This …
Was Europa really going to self-destruct?
Kang Hui couldn't help but feel puzzled. If they had succeeded, why would the alien planets have fused with Europa?
At this moment, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Thank you, generous humans!" This thought was very clear and carried a strong sense of mockery.
A sense of unease spread through Kang Hui's heart. He wasn't the only one who heard it. Every soldier in the fleet heard it as well.
"Attack, attack with everything you've got!" Kang Hui ordered without hesitation.
The alien planets hadn't been destroyed, and Europa wasn't about to self-destruct.
The Northern Alliance's most famous commander was starting to panic.
The voice had a profound effect on the entire fleet. When the onslaught began again, the rays of light were no longer uniform.
All four bastions had just fired their main cannons, and it would take some time for them to recharge. Middle Heaven's Ultimate Ray was particularly draining. It wouldn't be able to fire it again in a short amount of time.
The gaping hole in Europa's surface had disappeared. The purple mist that hung over the planet had faded, replaced by a faint golden hue.
The mist had also retracted, giving the planet a strange, ethereal feel.
