My brother is so cunning

Chapter 1135 The Only Choice
Wen Rui believed that the power of the superstring vibration cannon was enough to harm or even completely destroy a saint.

The destruction caused by this weapon targets the laws of nature itself, which is what the primordial world calls the "rules of heaven".

The operation of a sage's magical power and his connection with heaven and earth and all things depend on the stability of the rules of heaven. When the rules are broken, the source of a sage's power will be cut off or become unstable.

The attack method of superstring vibration weapons transcends the scope of conventional physical or magical attacks. With extremely high speed and unique quantum frequency, they directly affect the physical body, primordial spirit, or the spatial structure on which the saint resides.

While sages can repair the rules of Heaven or adapt to changes to a certain extent, the continuous attacks of superstring vibration weapons make it difficult for them to cope.

On the one hand, if the damage that weapons inflict on the rules of Heaven is too rapid and severe, it exceeds the ability of a sage to repair it.

On the other hand, when a sage repairs the rules of the Heavenly Way, he needs to follow certain laws and procedures, while the attack of the superstring vibration weapon directly and continuously interferes with these processes, and the speed of repair is far slower than the speed of destruction.

The problem is that this weapon could never be a tactical weapon, but rather a cosmic or even multiverse-level strategic weapon of mass destruction used by advanced civilizations to completely annihilate another advanced civilization.

After being deployed, the destructive range is at least one galaxy, turning a galaxy-sized area into a cosmic wasteland, an absolute no-go zone.

It could even be an interdimensional delivery used to destroy an entire universe.

The system's ultimate mission is to unify the three religions, not to destroy the world. Even if a sage is killed in one shot, or even if Hongjun Daozu is destroyed in the process, the system itself and the entire world will be buried with him. It is a case of killing a thousand enemies while losing a thousand of your own, a one-to-one exchange, and mutual destruction.

Since the superstring vibration cannon was also out of the question, that left only the spatial phase locker. However, Wen Rui found it somewhat difficult to understand the system's description of this technology.

To understand this weapon, we must first clarify the definition of "spatial phase":

In higher-order cosmological theories, space is not a uniform "empty container," but a dynamic network composed of countless "quantum phase units."

Each unit corresponds to a specific "permissible range of physical state" (e.g., under normal phase conditions, water can achieve solid-liquid-gas transformation between 0-100℃; rocks can maintain a solid structure), "energy conduction threshold" (e.g., light can propagate normally, gravity can act stably), and "dimensional binding strength" (e.g., matter is stably bound in three-dimensional space).

Wen Rui speculates that the principle of the spatial phase lock is to forcibly change the phase rules of the target area through "quantum phase anchoring technology".

Once the spatial phase is anchored, the space within the influence range will lose its ability to "adjust the phase according to environmental changes". For example, if the "absolute solid phase" is locked, the molecular motion of all matter in the space will be frozen in the "solid molecular arrangement phase"; if the "vacuum phase" is locked, the molecular bonds of all matter in the space will be forcibly broken into vacuum particles.

The damage caused by this weapon will result in "phase instability and collapse" for matter, which is what cultivators often refer to as "turning to ashes".

When matter loses its "phase basis for maintaining its structure," molecular bonds, atomic bonds, and even the forces between quarks break due to phase mismatch, causing matter to transform from an "ordered structure" into "disordered particles." Microscopic particles can no longer combine to form macroscopic matter. Similarly, spatial phase lockers also affect the dimensional structure of "space" itself, locking the "dimensional binding phase" of three-dimensional space, causing some regions of three-dimensional matter to lose their "dimensional support" and be forcibly stripped into lower or higher-dimensional spaces.

Low-dimensional stripping can force the material in the target area to be compressed into a two-dimensional "membrane structure", causing the material to lose its volume and mass properties, similar to the dimensional reduction attack of a two-dimensional foil.

Higher-dimensional stripping would "throw" the three-dimensional matter into four-dimensional space, where it would exhibit "random volume changes" in the three-dimensional universe, eventually completely escaping the range of three-dimensional observation. If the three-dimensional beings thrown into higher dimensions could survive after entering higher dimensions, they would fall into complete mental confusion because their lower-dimensional cognition could not match that of higher-dimensional space.

Two-dimensional foils are likely a specific application of this technology, but the spatial phase lock provided by the system is the complete version.

If we compare the rules of the universe to a supercomputer running a "world" program.

The string is the "0 and 1" that constitutes the program of this world. The superstring vibration cannon destroys the "low-level code" of this computer, that is, the "core operating system", interfering with or tampering with the most basic rules and parameters that constitute the entire world, that is, the basic settings of the operating system.

This will cause the world program to malfunction, just like if the core files of a computer's operating system are corrupted, the entire computer system will crash.

Phase-space locking weapons target the computer's "spatial data structure" or "running memory".

Space can be likened to memory space for data storage and operation. Phase space locking weapons are like locking or interfering with the data storage location and reading method in memory, making it impossible for programs to access and process data correctly during operation. Computer programs cannot read data in memory correctly during operation, leading to program errors or even crashes.

Clearly, the power of the superstring vibration cannon was excessive. Once the system crashed, it wouldn't be a problem that could be solved by restarting or system self-checking and repair. Without interference from external higher-dimensional beings, this computer would essentially be rendered useless.

Space phase weapons are slightly less powerful. Program errors or even crashes caused by memory read errors are something any computer user has encountered, and they are not enough to completely destroy a computer to the point of needing a repairman to come to the site.

Wen Rui was unsure whether the spatial phase lock device could help him deal with the two saints of the Western Sect, but he had no other choice but to select this one.

With a plan already in mind, Wen Rui pressed the "Confirm" button on the system panel with a thought, and countless complex and profound pieces of information flooded into his mind.

Even with the support of a level 5 intelligence template, Wen Rui still found it somewhat difficult to understand this technical information.

This is not the kind of Space Stone technology found in the Marvel Universe, nor is it the Pym Particle microcosm principle like magic potions; rather, it is a strategic weapon used by at least a Type IV civilization to destroy civilizations of the same level.

If the Spatial Phase Locker were used against Thanos, even if Thanos wore the fully-equipped Infinity Gauntlet, he wouldn't have a chance to snap his fingers before turning to dust.
