chapter 0389 part 2
Sovereign, inside the Regent Council Hall. The magnificent palace was resplendent and golden. The High Priestess Ayesha, holding a scepter, sat high upon the throne. No expression could be seen on her golden face. However, the tense grip on her scepter revealed her current nervous state.
Having ruled Sovereign for hundreds of years, she had never imagined that one day Sovereign would be attacked all the way to its homeworld.
Even more unexpected, her predecessors, like her, had proudly believed that no one dared to oppose the Sovereign.
This also led to the Sovereign's planet defense system remaining at the level of tens of thousands of years ago. Otherwise, these invading warships would have had no chance of approaching Sovereign.
The suspended virtual screen in front of her displayed the scene of the Sovereign's drone fighters intercepting the intruders.
Fortunately, the number of these intruders was not large, only a fleet composed of twelve spaceships. On their side, not counting spaceships and warships, there were hundreds of thousands of drone fighters that had taken to the sky.
Hundreds of thousands against twelve ships, the advantage is with us!
Looking at the reckless warship on the screen, charging directly towards their homeworld, the proud High Priestess Ayesha's eyes were practically spitting fire.
Fortunately, her soldiers, relying on their numerical advantage, successfully trapped that warship. Eliminating these intruders was only a matter of time.
"Tell those soldiers to go easy on it. I want that star beast hide, don't damage those golden scales. A star beast hide spread out in my living room, I believe, will create a great atmosphere!"
"Then I want this star beast head. A space beast with three heads is quite rare."
"The space beast's head and precious hide have been divided among you, so what do we get?"
"I think this space beast's flesh and blood is good. It can be used to formulate some bio-weapons..."
Inside the Regent Council Hall, looking at the intruder spaceship surrounded and cut off by their own fighter jets on the screen, the Regents, who had just been in a state of panic and fear, instantly relaxed. They gathered together, loudly discussing and distributing the spoils of war.
Furthermore, before the war even ended, one Regent ordered his subordinates to relay a command to the soldiers controlling the drone fighters: be careful not to damage King Ghidorah's scales, as they were his reserved spoils.
As for the High Priestess Ayesha's face, twisted almost beyond recognition, none of the many Regents paid any attention. Even if someone saw it, they merely gave a cold laugh inwardly, completely disregarding the High Priestess.
Someone had to bear the responsibility for the failed expedition to Fallen Star. Coupled with the homeworld being invaded, these Regents could completely join forces to dismiss the High Priestess and replace her with someone more obedient.
"What is that thing?"
Just as the Sovereign's High-level Staff were feeling smug and harboring their own schemes, on the screen, above the surrounded intruder warship, a patch of white cloud mist suddenly condensed and formed. It enveloped the White Tiger, which was being bombarded by thousands of drone fighters. At this moment, their operators suddenly saw a blur, and their surroundings instantly turned into a vast expanse of white.
Above them were white clouds, underfoot were white clouds, and all around was a vast, boundless expanse of white clouds stretching out in all directions.
Even when they activated the detection systems on their drone fighters, they couldn't see how far this expanse of white clouds extended.
As the thousands of fighter jets continuously weaved through the clouds searching, a Sovereign girl finally controlled her drone fighter and found something unusual. In the center of the cloud layer, surrounded by radiant cloud light and green mist, a magnificent, golden archway towering ten thousand li high stood majestically.
On the archway's plaque were three giant, golden light-shimmering ancient tadpole divine scripts—South Heavenly Gate! Just as the Sovereign girl, who didn't recognize this script, turned her head to tell her companions this information, the control screen in front of her suddenly turned blood red.
Seeing the screen display the information that her fighter jet was damaged, the golden Sovereign girl angrily smashed her fist onto the control platform, completely unaware of what had occurred.
Above the South Heavenly Gate, tens of thousands of Angels and Heavenly Soldiers were densely arrayed in the Heaven's Net and Earth's Web Formation. That cloud layer rapidly spread towards the Sovereign Planet Surface. Simultaneously, at the nodes of the Heaven-Earth Net Great Formation, expressionless Yellow Turban Strongmen were spellcasting, throwing down large mountains!
Literally, real large mountains! In the former Underworld, the dwarf artifact refiners under Boss Tang had a sudden idea. They wanted to combine Pym Particles with weapons. Originally, they just carved inscriptions onto steel ingots weighing tens or hundreds of tons, then used Pym Particles to shrink them to the size of projectiles, making special firearm bullets.
However, this required considering the dissipation of Pym Particles and the inability of the enlarged steel ingots to maintain their initial velocity, so this project was not continued.
This experiment, however, gave the Weapons Research Department inspiration, based on the principle that bigger is better and simple is brutal.
The Researchers at the Weapons Research Department developed an extremely simple and brutal weapon.
They extended an invitation to Dr. Hank Pym for help, directly using Pym Particles to shrink a mountain peak down to the size of a fist. Then, they would drop this mountain from high altitude.
The moment it was dropped, that experimental small hill, nearly a hundred meters tall, exited its shrinking state and instantly expanded, as if a meteorite was falling from the sky. It not only smashed the experimental ten-thousand-ton vessel into the seabed.
It also stirred up a sea wave over a dozen meters high on the sea surface, and even triggered a considerable tsunami. The Weapons Research Department conducted several more experiments afterwards, but they didn't dare to experiment on Earth again, choosing several uninhabited planets instead.
In the final experiment, a mountain several thousand meters high was dropped from a planet's low orbit. The planet, which was originally barren land, had its entire continental shelf directly smashed into a canyon, splitting the entire continent in two.
According to their calculations, its power was equivalent to over a dozen times that of the Tsar Bomba from back then.
Finally, they concluded that this simple and brutal weapon had no upper limit to its power. Theoretically, they could even shrink an asteroid and use it as a projectile, but this depended on the degree of Pym Particle development.
Later, after Boss Tang learned of this, he brought out a divine ability imbued restriction called Size As One Wishes.
This divine ability imbued restriction had a similar effect to Pym Particles. Combining the two, at this moment, Yellow Turban Strongmen were throwing fist-sized finished products from their hands towards Sovereign. Each dirt clod, upon leaving their palm, transformed into a massive mountain peak several hundred meters high.
The shadow of the falling mountain peaks now enveloped the entire Sovereign. Instantly, smoke and dust rose everywhere on the Sovereign Planet Surface, dirt flew, and even the entire planet trembled.
"Hold on tight!"
The nearly thousand-meter-long warship was falling rapidly through the Sovereign's atmosphere. Just as it was about to hit the ground, Kane forcibly pulled the spaceship up, and the ship's bow plowed forward.
Fortunately, the Kree warship's armor was thick enough. After the spaceship plowed a massive gully several hundred meters wide and nearly a hundred kilometers long on the Sovereign Planet Surface, it finally came to a grinding halt under King Ghidorah's braking with its feet.
