Chapter 136 Meteor Shower

The chain reaction began after the mothership crashed!

The first to discover all this was the air defense system of the circumpolar capital, and alarms immediately blared throughout the sky and earth, but—it was too late!

When the Imperial battleship, enveloped in void energy and plummeting out of control, tore through the clouds with a crimson trail of flames, the radar screens of the ground monitoring station were already completely covered by chaotic energy turbulence.

The soldiers watched helplessly as the fireball grew larger and larger in their field of vision. Some collapsed to the ground, while others frantically operated the already malfunctioning interception system.

"High-energy laser array charging failed! Energy field interference!"

"The missile can't lock onto the target! It's absorbing our signal!"

"Avoid! Everyone, avoid this area!!"

The final roar was drowned out by the deafening roar. Clearly, it was impossible to expect these federal officers, who had long been corrupt beyond recognition, to complete the interception operation!

The warship pierced through the energy shield above the capital. That shield, which had been so powerful in normal times that it had blocked countless attacks from the common people, was now completely powerless against the cataclysmic destruction it was about to unleash!

It dented, collapsed, shattered, and finally scattered into countless fragments of light!

"boom!!!"

At that moment, it felt as if the entire planet trembled.

Centered on the impact, a ring of destruction, mixed with endless void energy, expanded outward at supersonic speed.

The bronze statues of past governors melted into molten iron in the high temperature, the magnificent noble mansions collapsed layer by layer like building blocks, and the dome of the military auditorium was completely lifted and crashed into the administrative district three kilometers away.

The shockwave swept across half the city, turning everything in its path into countless fragments. In the face of this natural disaster, everyone, everything, and every object is equal!

Glass curtain walls shattered in large sections, hovercars on the street were overturned, and people who couldn't evacuate in time were instantly vaporized by the high temperature and blast wave, leaving no trace of their screams.

However, dying like this is too easy for them! The real disaster has only just begun.

The warship's internal ammunition magazines and its still-burning reactor energy were completely detonated after the impact.

The secondary explosion was far more powerful than the first impact, and of course, Lu's interference played a significant role in this. (Void Energy Special Edition.ing)

A dark blue mushroom cloud, more than five kilometers in diameter, shot into the sky. Its intense heat ignited all flammable materials within a ten-kilometer radius, turning the core area into a sea of ​​fire within minutes.

In the midst of it all, countless lords who had not yet managed to evacuate were instantly burned to ashes, experiencing firsthand the fate of the civilians who had died at their hands. At that moment, all the lords were acquaintances!

The thick smoke from the explosion obscured the sky, preventing even the light of the stars from penetrating, and also shrouding the sinister hearts of those below.

Just 300 meters underground from the epicenter of the explosion, inside the Governor's Mansion's emergency refuge bunker, piercing alarms were blaring through the thick alloy walls.

"Shield generator overloaded! Outer structure collapse rate exceeds 60%!"

"Ventilation system malfunction! High concentration of toxic gas detected!"

"The energy core is fluctuating erratically; immediate abandonment of the fortress is recommended!"

The cold, synthesized voice echoed in the command center, which was filled with screams and curses. The governor, dressed in fine clothes, and dozens of key dignitaries were gathered there, each with a face full of fear and disbelief.

These big shots, who are used to being high and mighty and domineering, are now truly feeling the imminent approach of death.

"How is this possible?! How could Imperial warships be crashing into us? What is that fleet commander good for?!"

Die! Damn it, damn it!

Standing next to the spokesperson, the governor, arguably the most prestigious figure on the planet, was livid with rage—a humiliation beyond measure! A humiliation beyond measure!

"Where are the Charioteers? Didn't they send anyone to intercept them?"

"My lord, the righteous knights from several nearby cities have just been dispatched to—"

Leaving aside these power struggles for now, the bunker began its nth shaking.

The ceiling was cracked, and dust and equipment kept falling from mid-air, clearly indicating that the bunker was not very safe.

"What's going on? Were these lowly people so careless when they built the bunker?!"

"Escape route! Is there an escape route? I don't want to die!"

In the chaos, the powerful and wealthy finally remembered the existence of escape routes, so they rushed to the emergency teleportation array deep within the fortress. It was a life-saving means that led directly to the orbital starport and could theoretically send them to a safe area instantly.

But just as the teleportation array was about to activate, an unexpected event that had been lurking for a long time occurred.

"Sizzle—"

The void energy condensed into pale blue tentacles, which emerged from every crack in the wall and wrapped around the teleportation platform, which was engraved with intricate runes.

One by one, the energy runes went out, the light of the teleportation array flickered violently a few times, and finally dimmed completely.

Last hope was dashed.

"No—no!!!" A crazed, pot-bellied lord lunged at the control panel, frantically pounding on the long-discontinued buttons. "Start! Start it up!!"

"My lord—the energy has been disrupted—we're trapped here—"

Outside the fortress, the geological changes caused by the impact are pushing the entire underground structure into the abyss. Rock layers are fracturing, load-bearing columns are collapsing, and cold soil mixed with hot metal debris is pouring in.

Flames spread along the ventilation ducts, igniting all that was once noble.

High temperature, lack of oxygen, toxic gas, structural collapse —

The powerful and wealthy were crammed into a shrinking safety zone, watching the surrounding walls deform under the pressure, as if being gnawed at by teeth from all sides.

They once plotted the exploitation of civilians here, signed bloody repressive orders, and held high-class banquets for the entertainment of "slave laborers" or "dissidents".

And now, this fortress, which symbolized their power and security, is becoming their common coffin.

"I don't want to die—I am an earl—I own properties on several planets—" A middle-aged nobleman knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

"Save me—I'll give you anything you want—" Another female noblewoman grabbed the governor's clothes, her nails almost digging into his flesh.

The governor did not answer. As the only one among them with any ability, he had long understood their fate. How could it be such a coincidence?!

The next second, the last load-bearing structure collapsed, heralding the arrival of the final apocalypse.

Above the ground, Lu Qingfeng, who had taken advantage of the chaos to land, hovered high in the air, surrounded by several dark-colored mecha chunks of flesh that had been kneaded into balls for some unknown reason.
