Chapter 31

In the observation room.

Everyone becomes silent once again.

They fall into a state of stillness.

The voice emitted by the South Heaven Gate echoes in their ears constantly.

The cold mechanical electronic voice has no emotion.

It doesn't even need anyone to activate it; it automatically senses the existence of the enemy.

And...

It activates the Demon-Reflecting Mirror to conduct an analysis of this seventh-order alien.

It makes a comprehensive assessment based on bloodline, appearance, energy, and other aspects.

It determines its strength level.

The most critical thing is...

Just now, the South Heaven Gate changed with a crash, dismantling and reassembling again.

It turned into a steel giant cannon!

The muzzle is aimed right at this seventh-order alien!

Everyone is dumbfounded.

They cannot help but gasp.

This is completely different from the technological civilization in their impression!

Ordinary technological civilizations at most have weapons like guns and mechanical artillery.

They have never seen such an advanced sensing system.

It can actually reject enemies automatically!

"The giant cannon... shouldn't be able to stop this seventh-order alien, right?"

After a long time.

In the observation room, a mentor mutters softly.

Everyone swallows their saliva one after another.

They begin to analyze it seriously and carefully.

"The power of the guns and artillery of currently known technological civilizations is at most about fifth-order, and they can at most deal with fifth-order enemies."

"The defensive power of aliens is often astonishing, and this alien is seventh-order; this giant cannon... shouldn't be able to stop the alien!"

"I think it might just be fancy on the outside, but useless on the inside..."

"..."

While analyzing.

A group of mentors stares intently at the steel giant cannon that the South Heaven Gate has turned into.

They don't even dare to blink.

Fearing they might miss something.

And in the projection before them.

It is seen that the alien lets out a roar, directly ignoring the steel giant cannon, and continues to charge toward the Thirty-Three Heavens.

At the same time.

That emotionless electronic voice appears again:

"Cosmic Banishment, activated!"

As soon as the words fall.

A pitch-black, fist-sized vortex appears at the muzzle of the steel giant cannon that the South Heaven Gate has turned into.

It grows from small to large.

In an instant, the diameter reaches one meter.

The vortex rotates at high speed.

Space seems to be torn apart at this moment, and fragments appear!

Among the mentors.

Chu Tiange, seeing this scene, has his pupils shrink sharply.

"What kind of weapon is this? It can actually tear space?"

As a Superior God.

He sees at a glance that with the rotation of the vortex, cracks have already appeared in space.

And...

This crack is extremely unstable!

It seems as if it will completely collapse in the next second.

According to what he knows.

Among the currently known technological civilizations, no such weapon has been discovered yet.

"Could it be something Qin Mu developed?"

He takes a deep breath.

He cannot help but think of the technological principles of singularities, universes, and so on that Qin Mu told him about before...

With Qin Mu's unique research in this area.

It is indeed possible to develop such a weapon.

"But after reaching the seventh-order, the physical body is incomparably stable; even attacks involving space don't have much effect..."

Subsequently.

Looking at the pitch-black vortex in the image, he shakes his head.

Although Qin Mu has amazed him once again.

He does not believe this giant cannon that can tear space can deal with the seventh-order alien in front of them.

At the same time.

In the vast universe.

Qin Mu stands above the Thirty-Three Heavens, also monitoring the South Heaven Gate's automatic counterattack system.

This automatic counterattack system was added by him during the modification.

It is very intelligent.

After sensing the alien's approach, it immediately activated the first contingency plan.

Which is Cosmic Banishment.

Looking at the black vortex that the South Heaven Gate giant cannon is brewing...

Qin Mu cannot help but curl his lips: "This is no ordinary space vortex; the high-speed rotation of gravity and matter can cause extreme turbulence in space."

"Wormholes... are born from this."

That's right.

This Cosmic Banishment Cannon loaded on the South Heaven Gate uses the principle of wormholes.

In his past life.

There were scientists on Earth who proposed the concept of using wormholes to perform space-time travel.

Generally speaking.

Wormholes are chaotic and have no traces to follow.

But under the deduction of the system's terrifying simulation function, the wormhole was directly transformed into a Cosmic Banishment Cannon.

In this vortex, gravity and matter are rotating at high speed.

The speed is getting faster and faster.

And as the rotation accelerates, space becomes increasingly turbulent.

Plus, the South Heaven Gate is bound to the entire southern universe.

Therefore, it will directly generate a wormhole, connecting the South Heaven Gate and any corner of the southern universe!

Above the Thirty-Three Heavens, Qin Mu silently watches the battle of the first heaven.

This is also the first time a technological civilization...

Has displayed unconventional power in front of the world!

"Roar—"

First Heaven.

The alien feels intense unease and lets out a roar.

As the vortex accelerates, a power he has never seen before seems to tear open the extremely turbulent space.

Connecting the space in front of it to another place.

It instinctively wants to dodge.

Unfortunately...

The steel giant cannon that the South Heaven Gate has turned into fires with a crash.

"Boom!"

The pitch-black vortex rotates crazily.

The diameter grows larger and larger.

In an instant.

It closes in on it.

And swallows it whole.

"Upon detection, the unknown lifeform has been expelled!"

The emotionless electronic mechanical voice sounds accordingly.

Outside the South Heaven Gate, there is no one.

It returns to calm once again.

Leaving only a black vortex whose rotation speed is getting slower and slower and is constantly shrinking.

Jiangcheng University.

World Observation Room.

Everyone's eyes are fixed on the shrinking black vortex.

Their faces are full of disbelief.

"Sw... swallowed?"

"Space crack? This steel giant cannon can actually create space cracks?"

"This seventh-order alien, it wasn't blasted to death by one shot, was it?"

"What exactly is going on? Isn't it said that technological civilizations can at most deal with fifth-order enemies?"

"No! There must be something wrong! After reaching the seventh-order, the physical body can already withstand the tearing of space..."

"..."

These mentors are bewildered, staring tightly outside the South Heaven Gate.

But they don't find anything.

After firing the vortex giant cannon.

The steel giant cannon automatically dismantles and reassembles itself.

A towering, majestic, and incredibly spectacular South Heaven Gate...

Guards outside the first heaven once again!

The vortex also disappears completely.

And outside the South Heaven Gate, it is calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

Among the group, Chu Tiange also has his brows locked tightly.

The scene just now has been replaying in his mind.

"No! Something's wrong! Although space was torn just now, the energy fluctuation was completely insufficient to kill a seventh-order alien!"

His eyes light up.

He begins to scan the vast and boundless universe Qin Mu evolved.

"This alien definitely didn't die!"

"Then where did it go?"

Suddenly.

Chu Tiange's pupils shrink, and his gaze falls on the southernmost part of the universe.

Near the edge of the universe.

In that place...

A seventh-order alien is looking around in a daze, constantly letting out angry roars.

It completely doesn't understand...

Why it suddenly appeared in this godforsaken place!

"900,000 kilometers!!"

Chu Tiange cannot help but gasp.

That's right.

This alien is precisely the one that was hit by the South Heaven Gate's steel giant cannon just now.

In the blink of an eye.

It crossed a super-long distance of 900,000 kilometers.

And was banished to the edge of the universe!

"No wonder when the South Heaven Gate warned, it said it was executing banishment..."

He swallows his saliva.

A distance of 900,000 kilometers, even if he were a Superior God, it would take him some time to reach it!

"Could it be the 'shrinking the ground to an inch' method of an immortal cultivation civilization? No, even if it were 'shrinking the ground to an inch', it would only shorten the distance by a few thousand miles; 900,000 kilometers..."

"In the divine beast civilization, that divine beast named Kunpeng, even though it has mastered the world's extreme speed, only flaps its wings for 30,000 miles!"

"And the magic civilization..."

Chu Tiange takes a deep breath.

He begins to take stock of the methods in the civilizations he knows.

The result is that he doesn't find any kind that can perform such a long-distance jump in an instant.

Even the Kunpeng, which possesses the world's extreme speed, flaps its wings for 30,000 miles...

To cross a distance of 900,000 kilometers in an instant, its wings would break!

At the same time.

In the vast universe.

Qin Mu stands above the Thirty-Three Heavens, revealing a smile.

The South Heaven Gate, after his modification, is no longer just a heavenly gate.

It also integrates the world barrier of the southern universe, acting as a portal guarding the world.

At the same time.

Its internal mechanical components can be combined in multiple ways, carrying several types of weapons.

The Cosmic Banishment Cannon just now is one of them.

It uses the high-speed rotation of gravity and matter to create a wormhole.

It can connect to the southern universe it controls in an instant!

And banish lifeforms from any position!

However...

A dozen seconds later.

Qin Mu looks at the empty South Heaven Gate and suddenly thinks of a problem.

He cannot help but widen his eyes.

"Damn it! What about my assessment?!"

He suddenly discovers that this alien was banished to the edge of the universe...

900,000 kilometers away from here.

In the vast space, there are no boundaries up, down, or all around.

This seventh-order alien...

I'm afraid it won't be able to make it back in this lifetime!

It's just that the automatic sensing of the first heaven's first contingency plan was only expulsion.

Instead of killing.

Otherwise...

What that alien would have faced just now wouldn't have been the Cosmic Banishment Cannon.

Qin Mu sighs.

Just as he is about to continue being a couch potato, he suddenly senses...

An aura is rapidly rushing toward the South Heaven Gate.
