Chapter 1423: Chapter 1421: Bombardment
Whether dispatching half the troops from the city, putting London in a disadvantaged state,
or abandoning the defense of the city gates and compressing the battle line into the city,
everything was done with one purpose – [Luring the enemy into the city].
Wanting to execute every enemy soldier without exception,
and to completely seal off the opposing kings’ chance to escape, they had to be confined in a fixed space.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to kill kings of the same tier, and if they wanted to flee, it would be easy to do so without spatial constraints.
Now, with the real war being played out and the enemy successfully lured into the city, although there is still one special king outside the city… it is enough.
The curtain falls.
With the support of ‘Endless Energy’, the condition of London’s Land Deed has returned to normal.
The barrier deployed by the King Level Land Deed immediately envelops the city completely, turning London back into a Dark Sacred Land.
At the same moment.
The ‘Program Network’ constructed and extended over London City by Mother Matrix is immediately interrupted, unable to penetrate the London City protected by the Land Deed.
This also means – [Disconnected]
The massive army of programs under Mother Matrix cannot be sent back to Makoms City.
The Terminator army, possessing [Unlimited] traits, instantly turns into an ordinary mechanical army, where internal programs could not be transferred out when their mechanical shells were damaged, and would be destroyed together.
And more importantly.
Mother Matrix’s consciousness also cannot penetrate London City, and cannot perform long-distance mechanical control.
This means the ‘cat-and-mouse game’ between Death God-Alex comes to an end…
Inside Makoms City.
The ‘Metal Sphere’ symbolizing Mother Matrix just fluctuates slightly, slightly agitated in the face of the sudden battlefield situation, but most CPU cores remain in a cool and calm state.
The Positron Cannon, now cooled down, is charging.
Mother Matrix has completed the analysis of the current situation:
“The parameters provided for the Land Deed by the Black Tower must be correct, my verification has been done over a hundred times.
Fifteen days, with the extreme environment of Pandora planet, should be enough to deplete the energy of the Land Deed, not to mention that the Land Deed has already withstood an impact from the positron cannon.
The current situation must just be a temporary supply of backup energy… Its duration isn’t long and its overall stability isn’t high.
A single cannon shot would be enough to tear apart the barrier, completely shattering the Land Deed, and then covering it again with the ‘Program Network’, and the situation would be stabilized again.
The cannon shot will be controlled by me personally, using magnetic interference to divert the shot mid-way, ensuring it avoids the enemy’s ‘mirror’ used only for fixed reflection.
The overall time estimated is three minutes, and the depletion of the troop strength within the city won’t exceed 20%.
Then, I will bring Makoms City directly over the enemy’s main city for a ‘Cover’.”
Mother Matrix includes the fluctuating parameters caused by the current situation in the calculations, still deeming the battle situation heavily in their favor.
Buzz! Charging complete.
The massive gun barrel, made of liquid from the walls of Makoms City, slowly emerges.
Layers of invisible internal magnetic fields also form synchronously, this cannon shot controlled by Mother Matrix, will be shot at an extremely tricky angle towards London’s barrier.
Once it hits, the power will be enough to instantly tear apart the Land Deed sustaining the barrier, and might even cause the ‘Endless Energy’ to overload and become permanently damaged.
…
Energy accumulation detected from outside the City Wall.
The [Void Mysticism] directly under Pope immediately took action, driving the spatial reflective device and also moving the device towards the direction exactly facing the gun barrel.
“Something is not right, we must expand the reflective surface of the device as much as possible… This time the cannon seems to be also interfered by some kind of energy, the shooting direction might deviate.”
Even the agents of Void Mysticism noticed the anomaly.
However, the temporary designed reflective device is huge and requires full-load operation to withstand the terrifying power of the positron cannon. Once fixed, it can no longer be moved.
Now, what [Void Mysticism] can do, is only to expand the coverage of the reflective mirror as much as possible.
Meanwhile, at the church ruins in the Eastern City District.
Captain Olivia was staring at the all-metal city outside the City Wall, when she saw the huge gun barrel coming from inside, she immediately pressed the remote control in her hand.
Although it is unclear what Han Dong had done during his time out of the City, since Han Dong risked his life to transmit this information, it must be useful.
An encrypted signal was sent from the remote control (made by Han Dong, capable of matching the signal frequency restricted by London, the signal is unaffected by the Land Deed and can freely transmit outside the City), received by a robot – Little Yellow, stationed at the nearest station.
“Beep beep da~♪
The boss’s signal finally arrived, I can hardly wait!
I will let the guy who killed Little Pink taste the flavor of a near-Earth Orbital Gun! This is the masterpiece that [Handsome Jack] is most satisfied with, once a major reason why Hyperion Corporation could dominate on Pandora planet.”
Indeed.
The ‘Shell-removal Plan’ formulated by Han Dong transferred all the important departments and equipment inside the company into the station system, and took them away together.
Apart from the Hyperspace Restriction Device containing the Beheading King, the Orbital Gun that poses a threat to the King Level and has the highest stability was also integrated into it, with little Yellow, an engineering robot produced by Hyperion Corporation, responsible for tuning.
Currently, all parameters of the Orbital Gun have been tuned.
The gun energy comes from the high-purity Yttrium Gold produced by Han Dong, as much as one full train carriage.
Little Yellow’s mechanically trembling little hand fell on a button marked with a Skull Head…
(Mechanical sounds continuously)
The following train carriages underwent continuous assembly and transformation, a huge gun barrel extending hundreds of meters, emerged from the underground station… locked onto [Makoms City] floating thousands of meters away in the air.
Before the firing of the positron cannon by the opponent.
Boom!
Orbital Gun firing.
The terrifying recoil directly caused a large number of cracks to appear in the metal walls of the station, several large supporting pillars completely shattered, and there was a trend about to collapse.
The energy shot out from the gun barrel was like a dark purple comet of annihilation.
The light it emitted even outshone the five Constant Stars in the sky, dyeing this area of sky in a dark color.
“What?!”
By the time Mother Matrix noticed the high energy fluctuation, it was already too late.
She had used the defense-type magnetic field of Makoms City for the positron cannon’s trajectory correction, and it was absolutely too late to switch.
Boom!!!
A huge mushroom cloud rose along with the magnetic storm.
Even standing on a nearby planet, one could witness this exaggerated explosive scene… Pandora planet became even more unstable due to such a strong explosion, and numerous planar fissures ripped open.
This nearby planet’s Orbital Gun blast directly reduced the time until the world’s collapse by five days.
The all-metal Makoms City, a design concept and technological crystallization condensed by Mother Matrix and jointly created with Blacksmith Third Generation, has turned into a pile of scrap metal and heavily fell to the ground.
