Chapter 468: Blowing Up the Pantheon with One Shot

"Hello, Level Two Commander Donovan, welcome to the temporary Command System..."

A soft mechanized female voice sounded by his ear. Donovan was putting on high-level Armor. The silver-white Metal Mechanical Arms around him covered his muscular body piece by piece with Armor.

Simultaneously injecting Nanoparticles. Armor composed purely of Nanoparticles would lack sturdiness.

Therefore, high-tier Armor was supplemented by Nanoparticles, while the main structure was still built from metal solid components.

The Tactical Display in the Helmet lit up, divided into several small squares. The Combat System had already assigned his mission.

"...Your main combat area is in War Zone C4. The enemy comes from the Black Net Organization, Botel——Cyborg Lifeform, equipped with [Nova Burst] Energy Engine..."

The Combat System connected to the Star Glory Empire's Database, displaying all the detailed information of the enemy on the Tactical Display.

Having such information naturally gave an advantage when dealing with enemies.

While observing the enemy's information, his Armor was also fully equipped. However, just as he walked out of the armory on his way to the star-facing window, he encountered a somewhat familiar figure.

"You are Dark Star?" Donovan stared at one of them. Behind him stood a Minotaur, having an aura that kept strangers away.

He had seen this guy's projection in the Legion Commander's Command Center, so he had some impression.

The most crucial thing was that he was sent specifically to deal with Li Yu, which made Donovan care even more.

After all, he also claimed to be an expert in dealing with Li Yu.

"Donovan?" Based on the number on the Armor, Dark Star also recognized this guy.

It was said that this guy had multiple experiences fighting Li Yu. Last time in the Command Center, the two didn't communicate much.

"You're not going to participate in the battle?" Donovan's tone was lukewarm.

"I can't casually participate in this kind of conventional battle. After all, I am a secret Weapon..." Dark Star simultaneously pointed helplessly at the Minotaur behind him. This guy was still watching him.

Donovan stared at him, feeling increasingly absurd. Just relying on this guy to deal with Li Yu?

This Interstellar human looked like he was half-dead; who knows if he could survive a single round.

Donovan shook his head secretly. To deal with Li Yu, you still have to rely on me.

Unfortunately, his position was lowly and his words carried little weight. He had proposed suggestions to the Legion Commander in several excellent situations, but the Legion Commander didn't adopt them.

Otherwise, Li Yu would have been taken down by him long ago.

"I don't know what the Empire is thinking. A Weapon specifically to deal with Li Yu? Hehe..." Donovan said pointedly, right in front of Dark Star.

Dark Star heard the mockery in the other's words and felt it was Baffling. He didn't know where this Four-Armed Titan got so much hostility towards him?

"I wish Your Excellency victory at the first flag." Dark Star said, not arguing with Donovan.

Donovan didn't say more, preparing to continue advancing. However, just at this moment, the Combat System suddenly issued a warning.

"...A large Entity Weapon discovered in the Crimson Holy Fire fleet area, suspected secret Weapon, please handle with care..."

"Crimson Holy Fire?"

Donovan frowned. Crimson Holy Fire's combat area spanned the entire B Zone, not far from the combat area he was heading to, so he needed to pay attention.

"Display detailed information!"

He commanded. The Tactical Display zoomed in multiple times, clearly magnifying that scene.

A massive Revolver Handgun hovered in the Starry Sky, the barrel drooping slightly, aimed at that gray-black ancient temple.

That was Meditation's Pantheon. Donovan looked at the Combat System's markings and various detailed information.

"...Model comparison in progress, suspected Mechanical Kinetic Firearms, Revolver Handgun. In the development history of Mechanical Kinetic Firearms, this Weapon holds a milestone position..."

Donovan didn't care about the specific introduction to this Weapon. There were Revolver Handguns among the vintage Weapons sold by many large Technology Companies. He even collected several himself and was no stranger to them.

What he cared more about was a fleet not far from this handgun——

"That is... the Black Pupil Fleet!"

It's Li Yu's fleet, he actually hasn't left here yet.

Donovan recognized it at a glance. After all, he Long for Day and Night for Li Yu.

"Continue zooming in!"

Donovan seemed to have thought of something, ordering the Combat System to continue zooming in.

"...Affected by Energy Fluctuation, the image is blurry..."

Although the image on the Combat System continued to zoom in, it was already somewhat blurry.

But even so, Donovan still saw the figure floating not far from the Black Pupil Fleet.

He could never forget this familiar figure.

"Li Yu!"

He couldn't help but say aloud, subconsciously clenching his fists at the same time.

Dark Star's eyebrows twitched slightly, hearing it clearly. Although he was among the Four-Armed Titan Fleet, he didn't belong to this combat array.

No one shared a lot of information with him. Now hearing Li Yu's name from Donovan's mouth, he knew Li Yu had already joined the battlefield.

Perhaps... the time for him to act was not far away.

Donovan didn't delay. Discovering this point, he immediately went to the ejection pod. The Thrusters of his Armor spewed, and he quickly flew into the Starry Sky.

At the same time, more and more people discovered that massive Revolver Handgun.

"What is that thing? Crimson Holy Fire's secret Weapon?"

Ted's head was almost drilled into the Holographic Screen. The Combat System was conducting real-time Monitoring of the entire battlefield, and any abnormal situation would be warned of in a timely manner.

In such a battlefield, a seemingly inconspicuous anomaly might be the enemy's secret Weapon. If not warned of in time, it could very likely bring unexpected losses.

"That is Meditation's Pantheon. The muzzle is aimed at the Pantheon, it shouldn't be dealing with this battlefield." Raymond said in a deep voice.

Just then, a window popped up on the right side of Ted's projection. It was Donovan, quickly reporting:

"Legion Commander, I suspect that is Li Yu's method. Last time in the Ancient Starpath, Meditation formed a deep grudge with Li Yu."

"And the Black Pupil Fleet is not far from the Pantheon."

Donovan's logic was extremely simple and crude. As long as it was a place where Li Yu appeared, any unreasonable thing could be pushed onto him.

"Oh?" Ted had the Combat System bring up the macro Star Map, and sure enough, discovered the Black Pupil Fleet not far away.

"It really is him!" Ted was somewhat surprised.

"Is Meditation giving up on competing for Gensokyo and settling for the next best thing?" Raymond instantly saw through Meditation's intention.

"...Look quickly, the trigger on that Gun moved!"

The massive Revolver Handgun's every movement was Monitored by the Combat System. The invisible pulling of the trigger was naturally discovered as well.

……

Inside the Pantheon, Reinhardt looked up at the pitch-black barrel. He didn't feel any danger from it.

For a lifeform of his tier, if there was danger, it was impossible for him to not have the slightest feeling.

"The trigger moved..."

Reinhardt's pupils contracted. Although he didn't feel danger, such a massive Revolver Handgun couldn't possibly be of no use.

He immediately activated the Pantheon's defensive measures. Chanting sounds faintly emanated from the numerous Artificial Gods statues.

Some Runes engraved on the Pantheon lit up, forming a massive circular Protective Shield, enveloping the entire Pantheon within it.

But as the trigger was pulled, the massive hammer struck, and the cylinder turned, the muzzle remained calm without the slightest anomaly.

This shot wasn't fired.

The next moment, the massive Revolver Handgun disappeared into the Starry Sky.

Reinhardt was somewhat dumbfounded. That's it? Gone?

While Li Yu looked at the disappeared Revolver Handgun, his expression didn't change at all. Who knows when, another Revolver Handgun appeared in his hand.

Codri, who had been observing all along, instantly noticed, and then watched Li Yu once again press the handgun against his own head.

"He..."

Codri frowned slightly. This scene before his eyes gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

In his long life, he had seen this kind of scene several times. On backward native planets, in lawless Black Markets, he had seen it all.

This was a gambling game. It could be an electromagnetic Laser Gun or Mechanical Kinetic Firearms. Although the form of the Weapon was different, the essence was the same.

If the Pantheon was turned into a lifeform, this was obviously a gambling game.

But... Li Yu is gambling his life with the Pantheon?

This conclusion made Codri feel an indescribable sense of absurdity.

Although Reinhardt didn't know what Li Yu was doing, he clearly didn't want to let him continue.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately prepared to leave the Pantheon and personally go capture Li Yu.

But Li Yu's movements were faster. The moment he got the Revolver Handgun, he pulled the trigger.

It was an empty strike again. At the same time, the Gun in his hand disappeared, and the massive Revolver Handgun appeared above the Pantheon again.

This made Reinhardt's movements pause, once again falling into a state of shock and uncertainty.

"It appeared again? What exactly is going on?"

Iroha frowned, noticing the situation here. When that massive Revolver Handgun first appeared, he had noticed it and paid high attention.

After all, it was inside his fleet. In case something happened, he would directly suffer the loss.

"About enough..." Li Yu stared at the massive Revolver Handgun. The target selected by [Revolver Roulette] was the Pantheon. He originally thought he couldn't select the Pantheon.

In that case, he could only Gamble his life with Reinhardt. But even if he killed Reinhardt, his subordinates could still operate the Pantheon.

But even if he destroyed the Pantheon, Reinhardt's threat couldn't be ignored.

It was difficult to have the best of both worlds. Li Yu could only choose the Pantheon, which posed a greater threat.

Hovering above the Pantheon, the massive trigger of the Revolver Handgun was pulled again, as if an invisible palm was manipulating it.

And this time, Reinhardt still didn't feel danger, but had an indescribable premonition.

This time... it will be different!

"Exactly what form will it take to be destroyed, I am very curious."

Under Li Yu's gaze, the hammer struck down fiercely!

Bang!

A loud bang poured into everyone's souls. Under everyone's gaze, the muzzle of the massive Revolver Handgun slightly rose, spewing out blazing light flames, like a Supernova Explosion about to erupt.

The orange-yellow bullet shot out. The massive bullet was comparable to a conventional Main Ship. Reinhardt's gaze was filled with indescribable terror.

The distance between the Revolver Handgun and the Pantheon was not far.

The bullet almost instantly hit the Pantheon, embedding into the metal outer shell.

The Protective Shield enveloping the surface of the Pantheon seemed transparent, providing absolutely no protective effect.

And Li Yu also clearly recognized what the line "power to destroy everything" in the System description actually represented.

There was no large-scale Energy burst. Even when hit, the Pantheon remained calm.

Only, the corners of the Pantheon began to turn into formless and colorless particles dissipating, and rapidly spreading inwards. Any defensive measures were useless against this power.

The massive Pantheon almost dissipated by a third in an instant, and the remaining parts were also collapsing at an extremely fast speed.

"This... what kind of attack is this, to actually have no Energy Reaction?" Ted looked at the Combat System's detection, somewhat disbelieving.

The burst of Fire when the Revolver Handgun fired was just a conventional reaction when Mechanical Kinetic Firearms fire, just magnified countless times.

Yet it still didn't detect an Energy Reaction.

"For such a terrifying attack, how could there be no Energy Reaction? Is this broken machine malfunctioning?"

"Rule-Level Attack..." Raymond's face was solemn: "This is an attack method comparable to Titan Artifacts. Only Rule-Level Attacks can erase the Pantheon without triggering Energy Fluctuations."

……

"This isn't an attack, this is erasure!"

Codri's face was tight, drawing this conclusion from the rapidly collapsing Pantheon in front of him.

There was a fundamental difference between an attack and erasure. An attack required a series of basic reactions, Weapon Systems, Energy supply, and a tug-of-war with the enemy's defense system.

But erasure was completely different, like using an eraser to wipe away a stain on a piece of paper, simple and unreasonable.

Rule-Level Weapon. Codri just thought of these words and felt a wave of pressure, his expression grave.

And the Meditation people in the Pantheon were still dumbfounded.

Reinhardt watched helplessly as the entire environment around him turned into formless and colorless particles, disappearing into the Starry Sky of the Universe.

"This, how is this possible!?"

This method was incomprehensible to him, terrifying beyond measure.

His subordinates beside him wore an expression of a collapsed worldview, speaking with difficulty:

"..."

There was no sound in the vacuum, but just from the shape of the mouth, one could tell he was saying——

The Lord, where is our Pantheon!?

Although the Pantheon disappeared, the Meditation Organization people inside were unharmed, appearing intact in the Starry Sky.

Some lifeforms capable of Survival in the Starry Sky looked around blankly.

Working in the Pantheon a second ago, how did they appear in the Starry Sky the next second?

While the other lifeforms incapable of Survival in the Starry Sky struggled to cover their mouths and noses, limbs flailing, gradually losing their Vital Signs.
