Chapter 77

There was no earth-shattering roar, nor any heaven-destroying light effect.

There was merely a strange blast capable of piercing the entire edge universe, even tearing dimensions!

Hum—

When the sound rang out, the Earth of the edge universe couldn't even last a second, instantly turning to dust—completely erased on a physical level.

Next came the edge universe's solar system, then the galaxy……

The entire edge universe began a massive collapse like dominoes!

This scene was far more impactful than any flesh-and-blood fight.

However, this was only a beginning.

At the very source of the edge universe's collapse, that terrifying impact, beyond description, ruthlessly tore the barriers between universes and swept into dozens of other parallel universes!

Disaster, spreading!

Those parallel universes, once splendid and colorful, each with their own civilizations and stories, under the aftershock of the spacetime bomb, unexpectedly began an irreversible collapse!

In an instant, a scene capable of rendering any civilization, any species speechless, was transmitted through the heavens to all worlds.

Starting from the point where the edge universe was blown up, one after another, once mysterious and magnificent universes began a chain collapse.

Space shattered, star systems halted, stars extinguished!

Everything was swept up in the collapse's torrent, reduced to the most primordial cosmic dust!

This is not the destruction of a single universe.

This is……the chain destruction of countless universes!

Belial's spacetime bomb,

actually destroyed dozens of universes, including the edge universe!

……

Trisolaran Fleet Command Center.

Silence.

All Trisolarans' thoughts suffered the strongest impact in history, their logic cores nearly burned out by this force.

This was more shocking than the plasma spark tower they'd seen before, than the so-called artificial sun, than any Ultraman's combat power!

Destroy a universe?

How fantastical, how absurd a fantasy.

Yet now it happened right before their eyes, vivid and real.

That hawkish official's thought form violently fluctuated,

It had previously been terrified nearly to death by asphyxiation from the plasma spark tower and life solidification technology.

It had just recovered its thoughts in the recuperation chamber.

Unexpectedly, it then witnessed another scene that left it horrified to the point of despair.

The universe, actually blown up?!

That fear of dying of dehydration once again flooded every one of its logic units.

Its thoughts, just healed from recuperation, once again nearly collapsed and died.

"Crazy……this is too crazy! How could this be real?"

Its mind was filled with confusion and incomprehension.

"Universe……how could the universe possibly be blown up?!"

Chief Scientist 3056's thought fluctuation coldly corrected its error.

"Commander, your cognition has deviated."

"This isn't the explosion and destruction of a single universe; it's…… a chain collapse of dozens of multiverses."

"This is far more shocking than destroying a single universe! More astonishing and world‑shaking!!"

Supreme Leader's thought form stagnated.

At this moment, it once again deeply felt its own insignificance, the insignificance of the Trisolaran fleet, and even that of the entire Trisolaran civilization.

It watched the chain‑collapsing, continually exploding multiverses on the firmament, its mind filled with an indescribable bitterness.

"Perhaps…… we Trisolarans are truly just bugs in the universe."

"The insignificant level we occupy doesn't even qualify us to glimpse the whole universe."

"Before, we actually proudly upheld the Dark Forest law, treating it as supreme truth…… It's simply ridiculous."

At this moment, all Trisolarans understood.

The survival philosophy they prided themselves on was as fragile as a sheet of paper before a true cosmic‑scale disaster.

At their level, they fundamentally lack the qualification to even contact, let alone comprehend, a cosmic war of this scale.

All they can do is bully humanity, a fledgling civilization still in its cradle.

Of course, at the same time,

A strong curiosity also sprouted in their thought forms.

Dozens of universes were blown up.

What should the Ultraman civilization do?

After all, the destruction of the universe is too shocking to be matched by any power or technology previously displayed.

A deep curiosity arose in their hearts.

Ultraman, can it actually resolve this disaster?

They, what will they do?

Warhammer 40K, Holy Terra.

On the golden throne, within the emperor's withered body of ten thousand years, the light of spiritual energy violently throbbed.

Even he, upon seeing this scene of the multiverse collapsing in succession, suffered a great shock in his heart.

He had to begin considering a fact he had never before imagined.

The universe, it turns out, can be blown up.

Then... what about subspace?

If the human empire could also develop that kind of super-spacetime bomb in Beiliya's hands, and in one fell swoop completely detonate that foul subspace...

Wouldn't the four evil gods lurking within it then lose even their place of abode?

At that point, how would they still absorb the negative emotions of sentient life?

All tomorrow's universes.

Qu's insect nest consciousness coldly gazed upon the successive collapse of the multiverse displayed on the heavenly canopy.

"Such crude behavior is simply the worst art, like a beast that knows only to tear and bite with brute force."

In their thought fluctuations, there was full contempt for this pure destructive act.

"If possible, I would truly like to teach this creature called Beiliya what true transformation art is. It is certainly not crude blasting, but a wondrous and elegant splicing at the level of biological genes."

It proclaims itself a god‑level civilization, regards genetic modification technology as the absolute evolution of all things, and therefore greatly despises Beiliya's table‑flipping behavior.

Inside the PIA.

Cheng Xin gazed at the ever‑destroying multiverse on the heavenly canopy; for the first time, a look of despair appeared on her holy face.

She suddenly rose to her feet, hands braced on the table, her body trembling slightly from excitement.

"We're doomed! Everything is doomed!"

"The multiverse has been blown up, everything is over, this world has no hope left!"

In her view, this is already a destined, irreversible tragedy.

"The outcome shouldn't have been like this! It's all Ultraman's fault! It's all the fault of the Ultraman King!"

"If the Ultraman King had not initially used violence to suppress Beiliya, how could Beiliya possibly have used greater violence to blow up the universe? Meeting violence with violence is utterly unlike what I imagine a god‑level civilization should be."

"If the Ultraman King had listened to me at the start, reasoned with Beiliya about love, and softened him with kindness, how could we possibly have fallen into this desperate situation?!"

"The outcome shouldn't have been like this! It's all Ultraman's fault! It's all the fault of the Ultraman King!"

"Ultraman is an executioner!"

Cheng Xin, impassioned, pushed all responsibility onto Ultraman.

She felt some anger, some frustration at his inadequacy.

"If the Ultraman King had heeded her early on, using kindness to sway Beiliya, how could such a great mistake have arisen?"

Cheng Xin is very compassionate; she pities all life in those dozens of universes, and mourns their deaths.

Therefore,

She now began to despise Ultraman.

Just as Cheng Xin was filled with righteous indignation.

On the heavenly canopy, the image silently shifted.

At the center of the multiverse that was collapsing in succession and heading toward destruction.

A familiar silhouette quietly appeared.

Ultraman King!
