My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit-Chapter 313 - 293: Sniper Duel? I Have a Star Annihilator Cannon
Xue Dili sent a secret message to the young officer.
"Gather people and make sure the reinforcements bring the Planet Extinction Cannon."
"Also, what’s the largest Teleportation Magic Array you can arrange?"
The young officer flashed an arrogant smile and replied, "Infinite, as long as you give me enough time and supply me with sufficient energy."
Time and energy management were entirely entrusted to Xue Dili.
The young officer also signaled confirmation, then started contacting headquarters through normal channels, sending the location coordinates and requesting the Blast Star Level Giant Annihilator Cannon to be brought along.
...
Xue Dili recalled the past, back when he was in American Boston, what that Mystic Scholar Blington, who once controlled the Divine Tree, had done.
He had imprisoned everyone in a cage called "freedom," and promised them a future of wandering the starry sea, along with other immensely beautiful futures.
The souls of over five billion people were all squeezed into the trunk of the Divine Tree. They didn’t care about the so-called future, only submitting again in their busy and muddled work lives.
Blington promised them an immensely grand future, but their lives were also in the hands of that Mystic Scholar, and that promise was equally an empty check.
So, looking at this Heart Stealer’s domain, a world constantly reset and twisted, Xue Dili thought of those souls once imprisoned within the Divine Tree by Blington.
If it weren’t for the realization of the "To the Brilliance" Barrier, the future of those imprisoned five billion souls would be the present of the Heart Stealers.
And the Heart Stealers, they should initially have been from a planet completely annihilated, not even like the breeding grounds of the Teaching Country or Beast-eared Maiden’s world, but a planet entirely dead.
The Divine Tree had already grown to assimilate the entire planet, with everyone living on the world of the Divine Tree.
Thus, the ultimate fate of these Heart Stealers was to be continuously twisted into pure Magic Weapons in perpetual torment, becoming the vanguard to invade the next world.
This world was false, even all the lives of the Heart Stealers within were false.
Like the five billion tormented souls once trapped inside the Divine Tree, their end didn’t lie in their own futures but in being squeezed dry of the last bit of remaining value.
Thus...
Xue Dili’s hands delved into the earth, and in the next moment, the surging roots moved through the ground like ocean waves.
One hundred meters deep... five hundred meters deep... one thousand meters deep... until the roots spread down to a depth of three kilometers, piercing through the world.
Then, through the roots, Xue Dili sensed the true form of the world.
"Indeed, it’s inside an ultra-massive Divine Tree," Xue Dili smiled.
He and the young officer had directly traversed into the interior of the Divine Tree. If not for the many protective measures they had, they might have been wiped out upon landing.
Even now, they weren’t completely out of danger.
But Xue Dili did not intend to engage the Divine Tree directly, rather he needed a method to seize the small world within it.
As for this Divine Tree, who knows how many years it had lived?
He thought it was a Dead Star. Talk to the Interstellar Corps’ Star-Bursting Cannon, as if saying, "I pressed so hard, you might as well not live anymore."
The roots of the Divine Tree began restless surging, densely penetrating this small world, much like a World Tree about to bear the entire small world.
This action, for the small world, signaled a massive tremor.
Inside the world, the young officer immediately reported the coordinates and current situation to headquarters, and requested an Extinction Order.
Several hours later, headquarters responded, linking with the nearby coordinates.
In an estimated ten hours, the one-time Extinction Order would arrive, but meanwhile, the young officer had to ensure no intelligent life remained in the area after ten hours.
The young officer sent out his confirmation status.
Soon, the one-time blast Star Extinction Order warhead began deployment.
This is an ultimate weapon that penetrates extremely to trigger a chain reaction in the Earth’s core. Once the warhead penetrates and drills into the Earth Core, it will swiftly initiate a chain reaction at the core.
Unless it’s a star, this warhead can easily detonate any solid or liquid planet.
The principle is essentially using the planet’s own energy to blow itself up, likening a planet to a person, it’s akin to igniting the body’s sugars and fats internally, causing the person’s inner energy to spiral out of control, resulting in self-immolation from inside out.
And with the Divine Tree, the results would be even better!
Xue Dili’s roots began boring through the small world, cutting other roots quickly upon contact and grafting them onto his own root system.
Then, the original Divine Tree seemed to sense this uninvited guest within itself, mustering resistance. Roots intertwined, and the whole small world started to sway as if it might collapse at any moment.
Every time at this moment, Xue Dili would reminisce about the Violent Dragon God. Originally, it was supposed to be the Violent Dragon God, this specialist on the Divine Tree, who was supposed to adventure with him this week. But now, he could only brace himself and move forward.
At this moment, in this small world, night fell once again.
The frenzied crowd began slaughtering each other, turning this place completely into a hell-like bizarre scene.
But this time, there was no more panic.
The tree roots started to seize control from the original Divine Tree, while the young lieutenant began setting up a Teleportation Array. This time, the range he set up covered the entire world.
"Looks like we have no choice but to risk everything this time..." he said, rubbing his waist, and the next instant, a tree root greeted him and pierced into his wrist, continuously providing magic power.
All this magic power was drawn from the Heart Stealers of this world.
After Xue Dili severed the tree roots parasitizing here, all this magic power was intercepted by him.
The sudden change in a short time seemed to bewilder the ancient Divine Tree, as if it had just woken up to find someone digging into its heart, and the person was even saying, "Surprised?"
As for more secrets? Why did these Heart Stealers turn out this way? Was there a deeper conspiracy?
Too lazy to investigate, attack first, then conduct a thorough investigation afterwards.
Seeing Xue Dili seemingly doing a daylight robbery, the old Divine Tree could hardly bear it.
And just as it mobilized all its energy, aiming in Xue Dili’s direction, without caring about the fate of the Heart Stealers inside.
Suddenly, the entire small world vanished, as if shifted a great distance.
Subsequently, it faced an Ultimate Cannon positioned in the cosmos from afar.
Shootout? I’ve got a Star Annihilator Cannon here.
"Buzz!"
In the next instant, the cannon of the Extinction Order unleashed a light as if piercing the entire galaxy, effortlessly penetrating this Divine Tree that seemed to have grown to the size of a planet.
The destructive energy induced the magic power source inside the Divine Tree, causing it to emit endless light and heat from within and gradually implode in the cosmos.
...
It seemed all had ended; those originally in a bloodlust stupor suddenly froze, and the entire small world’s top was just lifted, suspended in the cosmos.
The young lieutenant, exhausted and collapsed onto the ground, only had the strength left for some murmurs.
Xue Dili also breathed a sigh of relief.
This rescue mission unexpectedly went smoothly.
Although their original intent wasn’t to rescue anyone, they planned to come and directly use the Extinction Order from afar on the Heart Stealer’s home planet.
They were even ready to fire another shot if one wasn’t enough, as the reputation of the Heart Stealers in the cosmos was worse than the Shabu Insect Race. It’s like if the Interstellar Corps knew the Shabu Insect Race’s home planet, they would wish to press the Extinction Order button ten times per second.
Just that unexpected things always happen, the Heart Stealers, surprisingly, had genuine intelligence, but they were puppets manipulated from beginning to end.
Even as puppets, remembering the events of yesterday was a luxury for them.
In a strict sense, the Heart Stealers were already dead. The moment they integrated with the Divine Tree, they were dead, and the countless years of struggle remained merely a ploy by the Divine Tree to extract the last bit of value from them, materializing their souls for eternal use.
So when Xue Dili severed the connection between this small world and the Divine Tree, the Heart Stealers froze instantly; then countless cycles and resets’ memories flooded their minds all at once. Their former civilization was erased, they were erased themselves, even their life and soul were erased.
Forever becoming units for drawing magic power, confined in this eternal prison.
Their original race was wiped out; now, they were the infamous Heart Stealers of the cosmos!
Everyone feared the Heart Stealers, those cosmic calamity-like monsters.
Because all of them had been exploited for an unknown duration of magic power, through survival of the fittest, the remaining "Heart Stealers" were the strongest, most resilient units adapting to such exploitation strength.
Memories washed over all Heart Stealers like a tidal wave, they remembered everything, and thought of everything, followed by anger.
The seething hatred and rage nearly consumed them.
Since they were defamed as Heart Stealers, they would avenge themselves in the way of Heart Stealers.
So at this moment, the crowd gathered here, surrounding Xue Dili and his group. After the Divine Tree no longer continuously extracted their magic power, everyone’s magic power soared visibly, steadily increasing.
As Xue Dili was about to leave, he saw the hills filled with surging magic power, all the "Heart Stealers" brimming with murderous intent; the scene made Xue Dili pause in surprise.
He immediately withdrew the "Innovation Era" that was protecting the young lieutenant, even considering pulling out the Giant God of Destruction for a showdown right now.
Unexpectedly, Eisen emerged from the crowd, seemingly becoming the leader of all Heart Stealers, only to say: "Master Mage, we want revenge..."
