Sarna's fleet continued to move forward without noticing that there was a terrifying thing waiting for her to approach.
"Commander, 87% of the enemy fleet has been covered, which is almost the limit!"
"Detonate!"
"Yes, the terminal bomb has started to execute the detonation procedure...the detonation was successful!"
As the weapon commander's words fell, it could be clearly seen in the surveillance screen that the dark void was suddenly illuminated a little, but...
That’s all!
Dud?
This was a thought that quickly flashed through Lavoisier's mind.
It was indeed an explosion, but the scope of the explosion was nowhere near the million light-years that Elfie said?
Well, except that it lit up a bit when it exploded, but that's about it.
"Turn on the Knox particle detector and display its diffusion range in the tactical image!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Under Lavoisier's confused eyes, Alfie spoke again and gave the order.
Suddenly, a dark red area appeared in the huge tactical image tracking in front of him, and it was spreading continuously. At this moment, it covered almost half of the original bright red area that represented Sarna's fleet.
"This is?"
Lavoisier, who also saw this scene, already had a guess in his mind, but still opened his mouth to get Elfie's confirmation.
"This is the terminal bomb, a weapon that kills people invisible!"
really...
When he saw the tactical images before, Lavoisier had already guessed that most of the killing methods of this terminal bomb were similar to viral weapons.
And Elfie's answer can be regarded as confirming the doubts in his mind.
Of course, Elfie would not give a more detailed explanation of the terminal bomb. If Lavoisier mistakenly thought it was a virus weapon, then it would be a virus weapon!
At the same time, the perspective switches to the fleet flagship where Sarna is located.
Knox particles will not cause instantaneous death of living creatures. Even if the terminal bomb enhances its lethality, it will still take several minutes before complete death occurs.
However, although there have been no deaths yet, some people have already felt physical discomfort.
"Why do I suddenly have a headache and numbness and weakness in my limbs?"
"Are you the same? I felt something was wrong from the beginning!"
"I don't have a headache, but I feel a little nauseous."
"I can't stand it anymore, I feel like my head is hurting so much that it's about to explode!"
...
At first, some people only felt some mild symptoms, but as time went by, the symptoms became more and more intense.
Looking at the increasingly noisy bridge, Sarna frowned.
Speaking of which, since just now, even she, a peak ninth-level dark energy user, has also felt a bit of discomfort, but the situation is better than that of others on the bridge.
After all, although ninth-level dark energy users cannot completely resist Knox particles, they still have some resistance, so their body collapse time will be much slower than that of ordinary people.
Even...
If you escape from the range of Knox particles in time, you may still be able to save your life!
Seeing the crew members gradually becoming chaotic, Sarna began to think.
That sudden burst of strange energy just now...
At this moment, the physical condition of all soldiers is in question...
Damn...
Could it be a large-scale viral weapon?
"Quick, order the entire fleet to start the hyperspace engine immediately and leave this area!"
...
However, no one responded...
No one will carry out this order!
It was only then that Sarna discovered that one-third of the people on the entire bridge had fallen to the ground motionless, and the situation of the remaining people was already very bleak.
No, we have to leave immediately, we can’t delay it any longer!
"I am Commander Sarna, all battleships, pay attention, all battleships, pay attention!"
"The opponent is suspected of using a wide range of viral weapons. Each ship immediately starts the hyperspace engine and breaks away to the third assembly point!"
"Repeat it again..."
When Sarna personally made a fleet-wide broadcast and looked at the bridge, there were less than ten people still standing.
Sarna knew that these ten people were all eighth-level dark energy users.
However, although they can still stand, the situation is not very good either.
The people under her command were no longer reliable, so Sarna walked straight to the edge of the helmsman's seat, pushed the helmsman who had lost his vital signs away, and sat on it directly.
Skillfully operating the helmsman's control panel, he locked the target at the third assembly point and started the hyperspace engine.
A few seconds later, Sarna's car quickly entered the hyperspace channel opened in front of the battleship.
There are also billions of battleships that have not been affected and a very few battleships with ninth-level dark energy users that have the same behavior. The total number is less than 7 billion.
As for the rest of the battleships...
At this moment, they have all turned into ghost battleships, and they continue to move forward relying on inertia in the void.
"How does it feel?"
After confirming the final result, Elfie asked Lavoisier beside him.
"It's amazing. I never thought that a weapon could be so powerful. Even the most powerful zero-point weapon developed by our Lanyao Republic is only one percent as powerful as the terminal bomb."
Lavoisier nodded and said.
This is not to say that Valassie is swaying, but in fact that is the case.
Even if it is a zero-point bomb, its maximum damage range is only a few dozen AUs away. Compared to the terminal bomb's million light-years, one hundredth is an exaggeration!
"But... the delivery method seems very limited!"
"Thanks for you, you saw it right away!"
Elphie was not unhappy because Lavoisier pointed out this problem. On the contrary, she was even more satisfied with Lavoisier.
Indeed, the terminal bomb does have great limitations in the way it is dropped. Not to mention other things, on the conventional battlefield of an eighth-level civilization or above, the terminal bomb cannot be used at all!
After all, there are only three ways to drop the terminal bomb.
The first is like this time against Sarna's fleet, setting up an ambush in advance and then detonating it.
The second is to mount the terminal bomb on a hyperspace vehicle and directly reach the target through hyperspace navigation.
The last method is to teleport through space, where the terminal bomb is directly teleported through the star gate to a designated location and then detonated.
Let’s not talk about the first method. As for the second and third methods...
Which eighth-level civilization is fighting now without interfering with hyperspace and space teleportation first?
Drop it directly when the two armies are facing each other?
Don't be kidding, the killing range is millions of light years. Are you planning to include your own fleet in it?
Therefore, for now, before there is a breakthrough in delivery technology, the harm of terminal bombs to civilizations above level eight is actually...
