Chapter 229: Qin Hao strikes, decomposing the warship

"Unless…… I do it myself!" Qin Hao's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

He thought of the remote delivery function built into the replication system.

Since conventional weapons cannot harm the annihilators, we will use the most primitive and also most effective method—nuclear bombs!

Moreover, it's not one or two, but two thousand!

Directly deliver them into the interiors of those annihilators and detonate them simultaneously!

With a thought, the system interface unfolded in his mind.

"System, replicate two thousand nuclear warheads, delivery coordinates—inside the annihilators' warships!"

Unexpectedly, the system transmitted a prompt tone.

【Detected that all targets are under shield protection; remote delivery function cannot take effect】

【Special reminder: only when the target is completely exposed and has no protective shield at all can the remote delivery function be used normally】

Hearing this, Qin Hao's heart sank.

"Qin Hao! The Giant Spirit Fleet has already lost over thirty percent!"

Zhang Xianzhong's voice sounded anxious, "If we keep dragging on, our ace fleet will be completely destroyed!"

On the holographic battle map, the Giant Spirit was losing personnel at an astonishing speed.

Those annihilators were like a lion pride hunting antelopes, each sortie able to precisely tear apart their target.

"How about the Star Sea Divine Sect?" Qin Hao asked.

"The Grand Archbishop said they are fully engaged against the Silicon-based main force and cannot spare troops to support us!"

Zhang Xianzhong's reply carried anger, "These guys, you can't count on them at critical moments!"

Qin Hao frowned; it seemed he could only rely on himself.

Since the system's delivery function is limited, he changed his approach. He closed his eyes, and his perception locked directly onto the two thousand annihilators.

When he opened his eyes again, his pupils had turned deep purple.

A vast, sea-like mental power surged forth from his body.

This was no longer ordinary mental power in the usual sense.

But rather, after being baptized by the "Rule Fragments," it became a special power imbued with rule attributes.

Since external force cannot destroy those annihilators, we will instead, from the root, from the microscopic level, decompose them!

Qin Hao's consciousness instantly spanned a distance of hundreds of billions of kilometers.

In his perception, those seemingly indestructible metal beasts were actually composed of countless atoms.

And each atom has a fixed structure and binding force.

As long as this binding is destroyed……

"Disperse…… for me……"

Qin Hao suddenly bellowed loudly.

Terrifying mental power, carrying a deep understanding of atomic structure, swept toward those two thousand annihilators.

Inside the Federation Command Center, everyone could feel an invisible immense pressure enveloping the entire space.

Even the highest-grade holographic projection equipment began to show unstable fluctuations.

And on the distant battlefield, an even more bizarre scene occurred.

The two thousand annihilators that had been frenziedly slaughtering the Giant Spirit Fleet suddenly had their movements become sluggish.

Their head-mounted micro singularities began to exhibit unstable flickering.

"Hum——"

One annihilator that had been chasing the Giant Spirit suddenly had countless tiny cracks appear on its surface.

These cracks spread rapidly, as if an invisible hand were tearing its structure apart from within.

Meanwhile, the main brain of the Silicon-based Union on that side had already detected the anomaly, emitting for the first time a signal fluctuation resembling surprise.

【Unknown attack pattern detected.】

【Target units are undergoing destruction at the atomic level.】

【Logical analysis…… failed.】

【Threat level…… being reassessed.】

On Qin Hao's side, this atomic-level decomposition also consumed his mental power in an extremely terrifying manner.

After only a dozen or so seconds, he felt waves of intense pain in his brain, as if it were about to split open.

He could not stop.

Once he stopped, the Giant Spirit Fleet would truly be finished.

"Ah——"

Qin Hao let out a painful howl, veins bulging on his forehead, blood slowly seeping from his seven orifices.

He forcibly maintained this overloaded mental power output.

On the battlefield, more and more annihilators began to show abnormalities.

Their movements became increasingly sluggish, and the cracks on their surfaces grew denser.

Some annihilators even began to violently tremble in the void, as if enduring some immense pressure.

"What's happening? Why aren't those annihilators moving?"

"Their singularity weapons seem to have failed!"

"The Giant Spirit Fleet is saved!"

……

Inside the Federation Command Center, the staff officers joyfully discovered that those annihilators, which had been unstoppable, were now losing their combat power.

However, even Qin Hao now cannot completely dismantle two thousand Annihilators.

After expending most of his mental power, he only managed half—that is, completely dismantling the Annihilators' energy supply equipment at the atomic level.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Inside the two thousand Annihilators, the reactors that provided energy to the micro singularities instantly collapsed under the chain reaction of atomic bond rupture.

Having lost their energy supply, those terrifying micro singularities finally became unstable.

They began to violently contract, then… dissipated.

"The singularity weapons have failed! All Giant Spirits immediately counterattack!"

Zhang Xianzhong's voice rang out over the comms channel, barely concealing his excitement.

The Giant Spirit Fleet, which had just been struggling on the brink of death, was instantly revived.

They no longer fled, but quickly reorganized their formation and launched a frenzied retaliation against those Annihilators that had lost their strongest weapon.

Countless space rifts and shockwaves swept over the immobile Annihilators.

After losing their energy supply system, these metal giant beasts were nothing more than scrap metal in the face of space attacks.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

One after another, the Annihilators turned into fireworks in space under the concentrated fire of the Giant Spirit Fleet.

The battlefield situation was reversed once again.

But inside the Federation Command Center, Qin Hao slumped in his chair, his face as pale as paper, his breath so weak it seemed it could cut off at any moment.

"Qin Hao!"

Zhang Xianzhong rushed over to support him.

"I'm fine…" Qin Hao weakly waved his hand, "Just… the consumption was a bit large."

He looked up at the holographic star map, a flicker of worry crossing his eyes.

Although the Annihilators have been dealt with, the Silicon-based Union's mechanical planet remains intact.

Moreover, from its performance just now, it clearly still has more trump cards it hasn't used.

This war is far from over.

Moreover, looking at the Star Sea Divine Church Civilization side, their fleet seems to be charging enthusiastically, but in fact they haven't suffered many losses—they're just making up the numbers on the fringes.

Even the subordinate civilizations' fleets are the same—they basically haven't contributed much, likely having received the Grand Archbishop's order.

"Xiao Qin, they're unreliable; what should we do? We must quickly end the war, otherwise we'll all be buried here."

Zhang Xianzhong naturally noticed this, frowning as he spoke.
