Chapter 85

Meng Yi, who was preparing to play the fisherman, regarded the Necron Dynasty and the Void Dragon shard as potential enemies.

He schemed for the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Necrons to suffer mutual destruction, yet the Void Dragon—the 'fisherman' who would be the beneficiary—was solely focused on breaking free and didn't take Meng Yi, this 'suspected Grade A psyker,' seriously at all.

In terms of the C'tan's arrogance, it seems normal for a C'tan—who once stood against the Old Ones, fought until the material universe was on the verge of collapse, and created the Warhammer universe's biggest cesspit, the Warp—to look down on the psychic path developed by the Old Ones.

Immersed in the glory of the past, the Void Dragon still thought of itself as a peak C'tan in its complete state.

Little did it know that the shard sealed on Mars had long ago been hammered by a certain golden giant until it was gasping and eating humble pie to its heart's content.

The "Omnissiah" that the Void Dragon had tricked the Adeptus Mechanicus into creating had also had its fruits snatched away by that golden giant (the Emperor).

Even the information and mechanical motion physics rules it mastered were split in half by the "Omnissiah" projected from the Warp; truly a miserable C'tan.

……

The Necron Dynasty buried in the tomb world beneath the hive city was actively preparing for war, ready to eliminate Meng Yi, this unstable factor.

Digging into past history and perceiving the truth, Meng Yi was not negligent or careless.

Taking 37 hours, Meng Yi took down the last remaining hive city on the resource planet.

The 6.05 million hive citizens remaining on this planet were all converted into a cannon fodder legion.

Having only E+ grade cannon fodder was not enough; the three captured Grade D psykers were transformed by Meng Yi into Apostle-sequence units with C+ grade combat power.

There was no time to let the newly born three Apostles grow on their own.

Their human souls and thoughts were replaced by simulated information-style divine souls, temporarily under the unified command of the "Infinite City · Heaven's Net," codenamed: Apostle ②, Apostle ③, Apostle ④.

In the deathly silent giant hive city, Meng Yi was researching three Titan-class constructs, while the Blood Apostle, Red Queen, was organizing the knowledge system gained from this battle.

The Moon Apostle took over command of the cannon fodder legion, dispatching over 600,000 E+ grade cannon fodder to explore places where the Necron Dynasty might be hiding.

Strike first to gain the advantage, strike later and suffer disaster.

Fighting a war is all about efficiency!

With lightning speed, catch the enemy off guard!

A fully awakened Necron Dynasty, capable of beating back the Adeptus Mechanicus who attacked with the strength of their entire sect, was definitely not something the current Meng Yi could provoke.

He did not believe that after causing such a big commotion right on top of the Necrons' heads, that group of space skeletons would have no countermeasures.

The enemy couldn't detect it?

That would be purely treating oneself as a fool, playing a game of self-deception here.

……

48th hour since returning to the Warhammer main world.

The cannon fodder sent out to explore returned one after another, and the general terrain of the hive planet was pieced together and completed in the "Infinite City · Great Database."

"254,732 giant pits dug through the crust……"

"Seas of magma boiling incessantly……"

"The planet's biosphere completely destroyed……"

"Continental plates in a highly active period……"

"Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, hurricanes, acid rain clouds……"

"This planet is dead."

Meng Yi had a complex expression; the ecological environment of his home planet was truly the cream of the crop among cesspits.

According to common sense, a hive world's population averages 5 billion to 30 billion, with 20 to 200 hive cities.

"Over 6 million people relying on the protection of the last hive city, constantly abandoning most of the hive's outer areas, lingering on for two hundred years—it really hasn't been easy."

Who is to blame for today's situation?

Blame the Necrons?

The skeletons were sleeping at home when disaster struck from the sky; it really had nothing to do with the Necron Dynasty.

Blame the Adeptus Mechanicus?

They followed the oracle of the "Omnissiah," crossing the vast distance of a sector to come to this godforsaken Ember System, fearless of death just to retrieve a 'precious treasure.'

Blame the "Omnissiah"?

How could a Warp evil god care about the life or death of beings in the material universe?

Blame no one, only blame oneself.

On the Warhammer stage, weakness is the original sin!

"Red Queen, continue following the plan I specified, combine the three Titan-class constructs with Apostles 2, 3, and 4, and craft them into biological giant constructs that fit the Infinite City system."

"Dragging this out is unfavorable for us; there is no time to lose, I will go and probe the bottom line of the Necron Dynasty."

Meng Yi's tone allowed for no rebuttal.

The words of persuasion from the Moon Apostle and Red Queen died away before they could even be spoken.

"Yes, Director."

The "Infinite City · Spacetime Fortress" ascended into the high altitude, the crystal wall layer spreading to the basic foundation of the last hive city to prevent it from being destroyed in the coming great battle.

One by one, E+ grade cannon fodder were recycled by the Infinite City, burned into energy for the "Infinite City · Energy Hub." Through spatial abilities, they provided long-term combat energy endurance for Meng Yi from a distance.

300%→700%→1000%→1500%→2000%!!

A 20-fold energy cap was enough for Meng Yi to squander.

He could use the continental plate-level "Five Elements Framework · Five Limits of Heaven-Swallowing and Earth-Destroying" however he wanted.

The "100% Power · Life Force Field" that could withstand planet-killing cannons could easily be kept on for months!

……

Meng Yi manipulated his individual magnetic field to fly to the outside world.

The sky was filled with acid rain clouds, the earth's boiling magma sea rolled with heat, and the water vapor blowing from the seaside was stained with the smell of sulfur.

Since his home planet had been beaten into such a state, there was no need to worry about the impact of the battle.

"Necrons…… don't let me down."

"I hope you can show some spirit; that C'tan Void Dragon shard is still in your hands, otherwise I'll have suffered a huge loss this time."

At this moment, Meng Yi pushed all his chips onto the gambling table.

Even without the C'tan shard, the technology of the Necron Dynasty was enough to break even, allowing him to earn back ten or a hundred times the value.

【"Five Limits of Heaven-Swallowing and Earth-Destroying · Heaven-Swallowing"!】

Rapidly drawing from the Infinite City's energy reserves, Meng Yi started with a big move.

The "Life Force Field" simulated an electromagnetic field, the individual magnetic field resonating with the planet's entire magnetic field.

Purple-black electric arcs spread endlessly, and the molecular structures drifting in the air were forcibly pulled into the electromagnetic domain.

The acid rain clouds covering the sky gradually took on an indelible black, billions of thunder dragons churning in the dark clouds, illuminating the dead, silent world shrouded by the black clouds.

Going all out, unlike the tentative probing of two days ago.

17 minutes, Meng Yi completed the resonance with the planet's magnetic field, and the magnetic field power of a planet was temporarily mobilized by him!

Now that he was leveraging the planet's magnetic field, his destructive power was no less than that of a Grade A (Alpha-level) psyker in a desperate state.

"Power of the magnetic field, add to my body."

Standing tall in the sky, Meng Yi held one hand high, clenching his palm into a fist, dragging a thunderstorm cloud with a scale no less than the area of a superpower (10 million square kilometers).

【Crack—!!】

Electric sparks bloomed, connecting heaven and earth, a thunder light pillar with a diameter of hundreds of thousands of kilometers condensed into shape!

"Still not coming out? Then I'll beat you until you do."

"Destroy all the geological structures, let's see where else your tomb world can hide."

【"Five Limits of Heaven-Swallowing and Earth-Destroying · Earth-Destroying"!】

The magnetic field power condensed in his raised fist grew increasingly intense.

If not for the "Life Force Field" providing protection, he would have long since been annihilated by the world-ending attack and returned to the "Infinite City · Spacetime Fortress" to resurrect.

Meng Yi lowered his eyelids, finding a piece of ground that was still relatively intact.

Flying at the third cosmic velocity (16.7km/s, Ma He 49), which exceeds the gravitational capture of a star.

Thunder light fell, celestial star destroys the world!

"Boom——!!!"

The geological structure surged like waves, the magma sea splashed and boiled.

One million square kilometers—ten million square kilometers—

The giant landmass where the hive city was located: seventy million square kilometers of land were collapsing, caving in!

The earth was trembling, the magma was boiling, the vast sea was roaring, the planet was bleeding……

The superb destructive power destroyed the geological structure, plates collided and squeezed, and all the dormant volcanoes erupted simultaneously!

The chain reaction affected the six major plates of the hive planet, and the requiem of the apocalypse was played!

A 10-kilometer-diameter asteroid colliding with a star releases energy comparable to 3 billion Hiroshima atomic bombs, capable of destroying the planet's surface and burying the dinosaur era.

With the help of the planet's entire magnetic field power, Meng Yi's output cap was not much different from the destructive power of an asteroid hitting Earth.

Thousands of kilometers away from the bombardment site, the hive city, protected by the "Infinite City · Spacetime Fortress" crystal wall layer, became the only surviving building on this continent.

……

On the back of the hive planet, a tomb world in a certain underground pit.

【Beep——Beep——Beep——!】

【Warning! Warning! Warning!】

【Target threat level increased!】

In the giant energy furnace, the C'tan Void Dragon shard sealed in the four-dimensional labyrinth had broken free from one-millionth of its restraints.

"Aaaaaaa!!!"

The Void Dragon roared excitedly, tyrannical red light flickering under its closed-style faceplate.

"Psyker, hahaha! The speed of breaking free has accelerated……"

"Inferior creation of the Old Ones, as a reward for helping me break free, I will devour your life and soul, and I will grant you the glory of being with me!"

Even seeing the destructive power of Meng Yi cleansing the surface, the arrogant C'tan shard still did not regard Meng Yi as an enemy.

C'tan do not die, the Old Ones could not kill C'tan, the Necrontyr could not kill C'tan, and a mere psyker could still not kill C'tan!

Only C'tan can devour C'tan; beneath the C'tan, all are ants!

The Void Dragon believed that the C'tan race was the most perfect and noble species!

……

Both sides were sharpening their weapons.

Seeing that shattering a continental plate and causing a world-ending disaster on a global scale didn't elicit any feedback from the Necron Dynasty, Meng Yi frowned and wondered: "Could it be that they aren't on land, but in the ocean?"

"It doesn't matter, just a few more steps, consider it loosening my muscles before the war."

Meng Yi, flying at Ma He 49, arrived above the largest oceanic plate of the hive planet (referencing the Pacific Plate: 103 million square kilometers).

【"Five Limits of Heaven-Swallowing and Earth-Destroying · Storm"!】

The chaotic, disordered flow between molecules was rewritten by Meng Yi, moving in a vortex shape according to the frequency and direction he set.

Not long after, an eye of the abyss condensed into shape.

The eye of the abyss grew larger and larger, stirring the entire ocean into unrest.

The huge vortex dragged countless seawater, and water spouts connecting heaven and earth drew thunder dragons from the thunderstorm clouds, bombarding the uneven seabed ten thousand meters below.

Submarine volcanoes erupted in a chain!

Oceanic earthquakes transmitted rapidly!

"Strange, it's not in the ocean either?"

"Let's try again……"

Meng Yi's gaze turned stern, "Micro-domain interference" manipulated the movement between molecules to accelerate, and flames appeared from nothing.

Using the crystal wall layer of the "Life Force Field" as the 'bone', the electromagnetic force of the planet's magnetic field as the 'base', and the flames of friction between molecules as the 'edge'.

A tens-of-thousands-of-meters-long sword of raging fire hovered above the sea level, the heat it radiated evaporating large swaths of seawater, increasing the coverage of the thunderstorm clouds.

【"Five Limits of Heaven-Swallowing and Earth-Destroying · Sword of Raging Fire", fall!】

Meng Yi's raised right arm swung down violently, and the ten-thousand-zhang giant sword (33,300 meters) followed the eye of the abyss, submerged into the seabed, and pierced into the planet's crust!

A single hair pulls the whole body.

The sword of raging fire triggered changes in the ocean's geological structure, and a large amount of the planet's blood—magma—flowing above the mantle layer, followed the tiny cracks chiseled by the sword, prying open and melting the thick planetary crust!

If a volcanic eruption is compared to popping a pimple on a human cheek.

Then the massive outflow of magma from the mantle layer is equivalent to a ruptured artery.

"It's really not under the oceanic plate."

"The hive planet has six plate structures, four remain; I don't believe those space skeletons can sit still if I destroy them all."

Meng Yi locked onto another continental plate near the ocean, flying rapidly at Ma He 49.

Judging others by oneself, if any beast dared to tear down his house, Meng Yi absolutely wouldn't be able to endure it.

If the Necron Dynasty could really swallow this insult, then there's nothing to say; one must give the space skeletons a thumbs up and call them 'Ninja Turtles.'

On the Warhammer stage, are there any good-tempered races left?

Impossible; the Necrontyr, who backstabbed the C'tan and became the galactic overlords 60 million years ago, are definitely not easy to get along with.

……

"Boom——!!"

Another plate structure was shattered by Meng Yi with one punch.

"Continue!"

"Boom——!!"

The North Pole region of the hive planet shattered!

"Bang——!!"

The South Pole region of the hive planet shattered!

Arriving at the last land plate that was still temporarily intact, Meng Yi, high in the sky, overlooked the huge pits being backfilled by the magma sea.

"If that doesn't work, I'll bombard the core continuously, at the cost of abandoning the magnetic field superposition state, smashing the planet's core and severely damaging the Necron Dynasty is also quite cost-effective."

"Aaaaaaaa!!!"

A sudden dragon roar resounded through the sky!

The cosmic physical rules of data, information, and machinery spread to the eight wildernesses!

The tens-of-thousands-of-meters-tall dragon-humanoid mechanical construct, its body full of technological beauty, broke free from the shackles of the magma sea, firmly locking onto the tiny figure beneath the thunderstorm clouds in the sky.

Firefly's planet-exploding is truly outrageous; from fighting to the death with bugs, with output at most exploding streets and tearing down high-rise buildings, it rapidly soared to shattering the planetary core.

The planetary ionosphere to the surface is 1000km, and the surface to the core is 6370km.

A planet's diameter must be multiplied by 2; Earth's diameter is a full 12,740km (excluding ionosphere to surface). This number is hard to understand, so let's describe it by connecting 1,441 Mount Everests……

The further inside a planet, the higher the density.

For a human body's output to annihilate a star, what level of leverage is needed to provide such output amplification and energy supply?

Imaginary space provides unlimited energy, but Firefly's energy absorption speed is limited.

Can her body strength withstand the amplification brought by the output leverage?

I sincerely suggest those scriptwriters go and learn some basic biology, human medicine, physics, geology, astronomy, and other related knowledge.

A planet-exploding monster still needs to eat to obtain life-sustaining energy inefficiently; this is even more ridiculous than the Emperor using a golden carrying pole.

Uh, no, that's not right.

The "Qi" of Star Rail ultimately belongs to imaginary space, the "Spirit" is polluted by the Path concept, and there are quite a few who are crippled in "Body."
