Chapter 485: Supernova Explosion, Did You Expect That, General!
A beam of extreme white light appeared; this is the most brilliant fireworks in the universe, the explosion of a gaseous giant planet.
Although its power cannot compare to a supernova explosion, it is enough to affect planets tens of light-years away, but its power is absolutely beyond human imagination.
The interior of a gaseous giant planet contains large amounts of hydrogen. Normally, gaseous giant planets are the products of failed stellar evolution, so their interiors possess tremendous energy.
In just an instant, this red-white light almost enveloped the entire edge of the star system, and mortal eyes could not even open.
After seeing the red-white light in the sky, the orcs and humans on the surfaces of several war-torn planets fell into a dazed state.
Some Star Realm Army grunts had no idea what was going on; at this moment, the Star Realm Army realized that the space warriors, fearless mechs, knight mechs, and even Titan machines fighting beside them had all vanished, leaving only a few scattered sisters and some Imperial military commissars.
"Imperial warriors! Let us together pay loyal homage to the Emperor, and let our souls return to the Golden Throne." A commissar raised his chainsword and spoke.
The gaseous giant planet has already been detonated, but in the cosmic environment, to affect several planets with an explosion still requires some time.
"For the Emperor, for all humanity!" Some battle sisters also raised their weapons high and spoke.
However, the Star Realm Army big heads with them at this moment had morale sunk to the lowest point.
Although called "big heads," they are human cannon-fodder troops, yet many in the Star Realm Army can tell what is really happening.
These people seem to have been abandoned as cannon fodder; that scorching white beam in the universe, that enormous gaseous supergiant planet—who could miss it? "Is this our fate? We fought bravely, we did not betray the Empire, yet we are to be sacrificed—we have done nothing wrong." A Star Realm Army soldier couldn't help shouting loudly.
Pop! The Imperial commissar standing nearby raised his burst pistol and shot the complaining Star Realm Army soldier dead on the spot.
"You are all heroes of the Empire; we died bravely for the Empire, so no one may be cowardly, no one may be weak—sacrifice is the foundation of the Empire." The Imperial commissar gave a cold snort and spoke.
Now the Imperial Navy has already sent all its ships away; they can no longer leave this planet, but logically speaking.
This explosion should still be a while away! Why did some arrive early? Dante, Battle Group Leader, and those space warriors should have just left not long ago.
At this moment, the Blood Angels Battle Group Leader Dante had already begun complaining in his heart ten thousand times; they had just boarded the ship and entered the planet's space.
Those Space Undead bastards detonated the gaseous giant planet, clearly intending to blast humanity, orcs, and the Zerg all into oblivion!
Although he himself harbored no good intentions, he only wanted to blast the orcs and the Zerg, while these Space Undead even wanted to wipe out humanity in one pot.
Even though they were in space and had activated their psychic shields, the white light still approached at light speed, and all Imperial Navy ships showed despair on their faces.
"How much time do we have left? How long until the explosion's center reaches us?" At this moment, the Blood Angels Battle Group Leader Dante, no longer able to attend to other matters, anxiously asked.
Although this explosion is extremely terrifying, after all it is within the star system; spreading out could take a long time, and if there is enough time, they should be able to activate the warp engine—once they enter warp, they can avoid this explosion.
Indeed, these aliens are not good people; if they are not human, they cannot be believed. They are not trustworthy.
"Dante, Battle Group Leader, we estimate fifteen minutes left before we are hit by the explosion of the gaseous giant planet." An Imperial Navy fleet commander spoke.
According to the calculation of the psychics aboard the ship, it will take 15 minutes for the effect to reach here; they still have a slim chance.
"Activate the warp engine immediately, then have the entire fleet jump into warp—how long will that take?" Dante said.
"Sir, it requires at least twenty minutes to activate the warp engine for a jump, after all we have only just entered deep space." A naval technician said after checking the data.
"We must buy five minutes; order all combat barges to start activating their warp engines and set their particle shields to maximum to withstand the first wave of the explosion." Dante said.
Five minutes—these are deadly five minutes, also a matter of life and death. If we cannot hold off these five minutes, then the descendants of St. Gilles may well be wiped out in the galaxy.
"Commander, our psychic void shield cannot possibly block this powerful shockwave; in an instant it will tear our fleet to pieces." A technical analyst sighed and said.
Who would have thought they were calculating against the orcs, while the Space Undead were factoring in humanity, orcs, and the Zerg together; according to the original plan, detonating the gaseous giant planet should still need an hour—enough time for them to retreat far away.
The explosion of the gaseous giant planet would only destroy the edge of the Netherworld Star System, but who could have imagined that the Space Undead would also play them, now wanting to blast them together, and there is not even enough time for them to warp jump elsewhere.
"Bring all psychics that can be found on the ships together, then have them concentrate to use a single psychic shield; no matter what, we must make a final attempt." The Blood Angels Battle Group Leader Dante sighed and said.
Several signal officers silently nodded, then issued the calm order: command all psychics of every battle fleet to begin concentrating and push the ships' shield fields to maximum.
Now they have been driven to a desperate situation—this is the only recourse left! If this plan fails and they cannot withstand this attack, then everyone will die here.
"Commander, the orc fleet over there should also have noticed the situation. We, we can contact that orc, that Orc Demon King—he is also an immensely powerful psychic." A space warrior battle group leader opened his mouth, gritted his teeth, and said.
Seeking aid from the orcs is also unavoidable; after all, at this point we can no longer manage so much, and the descendants of St. Gilles cannot fall here, otherwise their rear Bar Star System would suffer a catastrophic disaster.
"No, how can we seek aid from that herd of heretics? We ended up in this situation precisely because we compromised with heretics." The senior sister shook her head and spoke.
"Those who betrayed us are the Space Undead, not the green-skinned orcs; the green-skinned orcs have always fought on the front lines. We can let our souls return to the Golden Throne, but not in a meaningless way, letting those Space Undead reap such a huge benefit." Another sub-unit leader of the God Blood Angels Battle Group spoke.
Space warriors fear no death, but at the very least they must preserve their battle group's gene-seed so the group can continue.
"We have now reached a life-or-death crisis; we can no longer worry about so much—contact the orcs and tell them the Space Undead suddenly launched an attack, and we know nothing." The Blood Angels Battle Group Leader Dante sighed and said.
As an old hand who has lived over sixteen hundred years, Dante knows the art of speech; if he told the orcs that he had previously allied with the Space Undead and was then played by them, the orcs would certainly not help him under any circumstances.
Several engineers responsible for communications nodded and began operating; they wanted to contact the orcs, but unfortunately.
They called for several minutes straight, yet Luode's war planet showed not the slightest movement.
At this moment, Luode was at the new explosion center of the gaseous giant star, then he added a pinch of seasoning to that explosion center—his own personal cosmos power.
Since we're playing with stellar explosions, let's make it a blast; I don't want to see this slow explosion speed—make it explode at light speed.
By adding his personal cosmos, Luode can make the explosion power of this gaseous giant planet reach an unprecedented supernova level.
"You want to blast the edge of the star system? Well, I'll blow up the whole star system." While Luode strengthened the gaseous concentrated explosion to supernova level, he also used his personal cosmos to transfer all the orc and human armies on the planet together into his war fortress.
The abandoned human Star Realm Army numbered in the tens of millions; upon seeing that number, Luode was also somewhat speechless.
The Warhammer World is indeed crazy; although those big heads are cannon fodder, your consumption method really is a bit.
After the supernova great eruption, Luode immediately activated the planet's shield and added his personal cosmos, ensuring that none of his own people would die in this supernova explosion.
"Great Demon King, the humans over there have sent a contact signal, and it looks urgent." Not long after Luode returned to his war planet, he received a report from his subordinate Grand Technician; the long-silent human side finally showed new movement.
"Heh heh! No need to bother with them; you're fine, just stay here." Luode chuckled and spoke.
"When you decide to sacrifice others, then I will make you the sacrifice!"
At this moment, the human fleet also detected an energy fluctuation that is hard to describe in words.
"Not good, Battle Group Leader, Battle Group Leader, warrior, we, we have another new discovery here." The observer responsible for monitoring the gaseous giant planet explosion stared in disbelief at the screen, confirmed it several times, then came with a panicked face to the calm Battle Group Leader.
At this moment, Battle Group Leader Dante was anxiously awaiting a response from Luode's side, but received no news at all.
"What's the matter? Is there any more bad news to tell me?" The Blood Angels Battle Group Leader Dante turned his head and asked.
"Battle Group Leader Sir, you, you had better come see for yourself; we, we have detected a somewhat different thing."
"That, that is that gaseous giant planet; it, it is not a simple gaseous giant planet; it, it is very likely a star, and moreover it is about to undergo a supernova explosion." The observer responsible for monitoring the explosion stammered.
There's no way, this is really too extraordinary; although the gaseous giant planet is extremely huge, it still has a very large distance from the star.
Even the lowest-level stars, brown dwarfs, won't do.
And since the birth of the universe, it's only been over 14.6 billion years! All red dwarfs have not yet experienced a supernova explosion; the longest-lived stars are red dwarfs.
For such a special star to undergo a supernova explosion, it would take at least tens of billions of years, even hundreds of billions of years later.
And the size and mass of this gaseous giant planet are less than one-tenth of even the smallest red dwarf; logically, it could never undergo a supernova explosion.
But the problem is, he is now exploding like this; the power it releases could previously only destroy the outskirts of the Netherworld Star System, but now the entire Netherworld Star System might be blown to smithereens.
This situation is very likely to affect the two huge stars in the Netherworld Information; if those two stars undergo a supernova explosion, then the Bar Star System behind them will be doomed, and they will be completely annihilated without the Tyranid swarms needing to act. (A yellow-dwarf-level supernova explosion can affect multiple star systems, within a fifty-light-year range.) At this moment, everyone in the human fleet is silent; the violent explosion produced by a gaseous giant planet might possibly be blocked by the combined power of all psionics, at least some of them might be able to enter subspace.
But if it is a supernova explosion, that's another matter; even though it's only a gaseous giant planet–level explosion, it is enough to destroy them.
"Now, let us together return our souls to the Golden Throne!"
"This violates the laws of physics, this is impossible, this is not right." At this moment, inside the Space Undead Morpheli【t】 Dynasty, there were also sounds of disbelief.
The space undead never dreamed that they were merely detonating a gaseous giant planet inside the star system.
They intended to annihilate all their enemies, but the end result was triggering a small supernova explosion.
But the problem is, this supernova explosion is damn wrong; its destructive power simply cannot compare to any observed supernova in the known universe, and its effect may be limited to this star system alone.
But that's the strange part: their Morpheli【t】 Dynasty are experts in stellar research, and they can even instantly cause a middle-aged star to undergo a supernova explosion.
But causing a gaseous giant planet to undergo a supernova explosion is something they cannot do, because it's fundamentally not a star; its internal temperature and nuclear fusion reaction are wrong.
"Great Overlord, we have detected a strange energy; this energy seems not to be the power of a star, but a power we have never heard of before.
It is precisely because of this energy that this gaseous giant planet undergoes a supernova-level explosion." said an ancient tomb technician from a tomb world.
All the ancient tomb technicians of the Morpheli【t】 Dynasty are experts in stellar research, so they quickly discovered the crux of the problem: a strange unknown energy had been added to the explosion, which caused the power to double and even reach supernova levels.
"Immediately activate the warp drive, we leave this planet." said the Necron Overlord of the Morpheli【t】 Dynasty, sighing; in this situation, we can only retreat first and then stay here, for even with their space-undead technology, they would be blown to pieces by the supernova energy explosion.
Originally, this time they intended to completely annihilate all their enemies, but they never expected that in the end they would trigger an unpredictable result.
Some technicians in the space-undead fleet nodded, immediately followed the Overlord's order, and began to activate the warp drive.
However, a strange thing happened again, once again overturning their understanding of physical laws: the star god fragment core they had placed in the tomb world.
For some unknown reason, it actually disappeared without a trace, vanished so mysteriously with not the slightest sign.
Even the space-undeads' mechanical brains could not comprehend it; they had no idea what had happened, why their own star god fragments suddenly vanished! Without the star god fragments, they lacked sufficient energy to activate the warp drive, and could only travel at sub-light speed, which cannot outrun a supernova explosion.
At this very moment, throughout the Nether Star System, even the Tyranid swarm fleet realized what was about to happen; after some consideration, the Great Devourer decided to abandon all Tyranid swarm fleets here.
Anyway, this is merely a tendril of the Leviathan fleet; although it is an extremely thick tendril, losing it doesn't matter, for the Tyranid race's power is endless, and they can continue to assault this biomass-filled star system.
A fierce yellow light shrouded the entire star system; thanks to Luode's deliberate arrangement, the two stars in the star system were not affected in any way, thereby producing a new round of supernova explosions.
However, aside from Luode's orc fleet and some human infantry he had protected, whether space-undead, Tyranid swarms, or the human fleet, all were instantly reduced to ashes.
However, due to some morbid taste, Luode saved the captain of the Holy Blood Angels Battle Group, Dante.
"You're awake, General!" Luode looked at the old man before him with a half-smile.
"What happened? Luode, the Great Demon King, I, my army?"
"I'm really sorry, all the descendants of Saint Gilles, now only you remain." (End of chapter)
