Chapter 550: Chapter 445: Ancestral Gods Make a Pact with the Whole World

Silent.

An eerie silence pervaded the entire super universe warship.

Bella stared at the screen in shock, utterly incredulous.

A female technician from the Spiritual Race beside him was even more astounded.

Not only the two of them, but all the other members of the Spiritual Race—except those resting due to shifts—were equally dumbfounded.

No one expected that within this seemingly unremarkable solar system, a creature capable of enduring a gamma-ray burst had emerged!

This was truly terrifying.

After all, it was a gamma-ray burst!

The colossal energy it unleashed could eradicate all forms of life on any planet within a solar system.

Most critically, it’s electromagnetic radiation, a form of light wave with extreme penetrative power.

Apart from a few special materials, like lead, nothing else could block it.

And now, this Heaven-Shocking Demon God, larger than planets, completely overturned the understanding of millions of Spiritual Race members aboard the battleship.

They finally realized that there existed, within the cosmos, an ultimate creature strong enough to withstand a gamma-ray burst!

Forget Bella and the other technicians.

Not to mention the ordinary Spiritual Race warriors.

Commander Moras had waged war across thousands of solar systems, annihilating countless intelligent life forms.

He had witnessed both gamma-ray bursts and supernovas from close distances, maintaining a calm demeanor despite experiencing tumultuous events, as if facing the weight of Mount Tai without a change in expression.

Yet now, his entire face was filled with shock.

Not mere surprise, but profound astonishment.

Commander Moras simply couldn’t believe everything he was witnessing.

He felt the same awe as when he first saw an iron-based life form in a "space mirage."

Iron-based life forms were the strongest life entities in the cosmos.

They could bathe in a supernova explosion without any harm.

Now, did the Heaven-Shocking Demon God on screen evoke the same feeling?

It’s conceivable how deeply shocked Commander Moras was!

Even though the short ten-second video had yet to finish playing, the warship erupted into chaos!

"My Great God Kramer!"

"Isn’t this too unbelievable?"

"Is he really a creature? Could it be an iron-based life form?"

"It must be an iron-based life form! It must be! No being other than an iron-based life form could withstand such a violent gamma-ray burst attack in the cosmos!"

"Though I am uncertain if he’s indeed an iron-based life form, I feel this being closely resembles the one our probe captured previously. We scanned the conditions within this solar system and knew that one planet harbors carbon-based intelligent life forms akin to us. If this being truly is the one we filmed earlier, I just wish to say, the carbon-based beings in this solar system might be mutations, so strong we find it hard to believe, possibly rivaling... iron-based life! If this indeed is the case, I propose immediate retreat, or else, inundated by countless beings like this, we will all perish!"

"Are there such formidable intelligent beings in the cosmos?"

"The creatures within this solar system are terrifying, and I can’t help but shiver."

"Commander Moras, we should quickly retreat; this entity is utterly frightening!"

The Spiritual Race members aboard the battleship were overcome with fear.

For a moment, they believed humans on Earth were as strong as this monster!

Initially, Commander Moras and Bella thought the same, prepared to issue a retreat command.

At that moment, the video played to its end phase.

In the video, the Heaven-Shocking Demon God, who had terrified millions of Spiritual Race members, suddenly erupted in flames and was incinerated into ashes.

The video then ended.

Witnessing this, the Spiritual Race members were utterly bewildered.

A technician hesitantly said, "That strange creature capable of enduring gamma-ray burst was finally set ablaze by the burst and incinerated into ashes?"

An elderly technician beside him appeared equally dumbfounded, "Seems to be the case."

A middle-aged female technician almost fainted, "How... how is this possible? Gamma-ray bursts are electromagnetic waves, and while it’s a carrier of energy capable of unleashing tremendous power upon impact, gamma-ray bursts couldn’t possibly set objects on fire."

Someone quickly speculated, "Could it be a problem with visible light? Although gamma-ray bursts aren’t visible light, their aftermath glows with a brightness exceeding ordinary stellar light, and upon shining on an object, produced heat, leading to the monster’s fiery demise?"

The suggestion was immediately refuted.

The previous middle-aged female technician, with justified logic, countered, "Gamma-ray burst energy is a trillion times that of visible light. If gamma rays couldn’t harm this monster’s body, why would visible light, a trillion times weaker, cause it to burn to death?"

The group debated for a long time, unable to comprehend.

However, everyone understood one fact: the awe-inspiring monster in the video, regardless of the reason for its ignition, was ultimately reduced to ashes.

This meant as long as they could prove the other intelligent life forms in this solar system weren’t as powerful as this monster, even if the gamma-ray burst hadn’t succeeded in annihilating lives, they could still proceed with invasion and resource exploitation.
