"Come on, warriors! It's time to show our final courage!"

"We may die! We may perish! But we will never live in humiliation!"

"For courage! For dignity and pride!"

……

Before the panicked civilians could react, thousands of soldiers suddenly stood up, shouting slogans and quickly activating the energy crystals they wore.

In the blink of an eye, countless energy crystals, like stars, released dazzling light.

Although these small crystals worn on the body don't store much energy, once a chain reaction occurs, there's a high chance they'll resonate with the entire dark planet, with potentially disastrous consequences.

So Zhang Cheng, who was floating in outer space, finally stretched out his giant right hand at the moment when these energy crystals reached the critical point.

next second!

boom!

With the purest physical attacks, he crushed tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians into mincemeat, more than half of whom were elderly, weak, women and children who had little ability to resist.

However, for someone who has completely abandoned humanity, these casualties are nothing.

Ignoring the groans of the unfortunate prisoners lying on the ground, their bodies or limbs crushed, Zhang Cheng ordered without hesitation, "Take these prisoners onto the transport ship! Anyone who dares to resist, kill them on the spot!"

"As you wish, great and evil master." Berom bowed deeply.

Soon, driven by the search efforts of hundreds of millions of landing units, all the remaining Harlesen were found one by one, either humiliatingly stuffed into landing ships like livestock, or killed on the spot and their bodies transported back.

As losers in the superstring war, they didn't even have the right to eke out a living or commit suicide. Their only hope for survival was to integrate into the organization's combat system. Women were only good at giving birth, a small number of men would become studs, constantly mating with women to reproduce, and the rest would become higher-level cannon fodder in the war.

It can be said that the history and civilization of the Hallesen people became extinct at this moment!

They have no future!

hopeless!

There is no such thing as a bright tomorrow!

Watching the last Halesen being roughly thrown into the transport ship by the clone soldiers, Zhang Cheng shrunk his body and came to the front of the huge crystal pillar that stood in the center of the planet's far north. He squinted and carefully observed the ancient characters densely engraved on the stone slab next to it.

As one of the greatest life forms in the universe—the Titan—he didn't need any translation at all and easily understood the symbols above.

As expected, in the distant past, the Halesen people, who were still living in a primitive, hunter-gatherer society, stumbled upon this place and regarded it as a gift from God, thus establishing a primitive religious and belief system.

Through day and night prayers and research, some religious believers gradually discovered that they could, in a certain way, make this huge crystal pillar release a super energy wave that resonates with a specific target, treating all matter as a high-energy particle state.

Thus, the Harlesen used this crystal pillar as their trump card, constantly attacking enemies that posed a threat to them, and eventually succeeded in becoming the only intelligent race on the dark planet to survive to this day.

These methods of controlling crystallization columns are precisely the mysterious connection between strings and matter and energy.

"Interesting! The dimensions of the universe are connected by strings! It can not only break through all narrow understandings of time, space, matter, and energy, but also restore all matter and energy to their most primitive state. No wonder controlling a main string means possessing endless energy and resources..."

Just as Zhang Cheng was stroking his chin and muttering to himself, the mother, whose body was now only half-formed, struggled to crawl over from a distance and cried out in a trembling voice, "Save...save me! Don't abandon me!"

"Huh? You're still alive!" Zhang Cheng turned around and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

According to data from the mothership's detectors, this guy was almost hit head-on by "Hallenson's Eye," and the estimated chance of him surviving was no more than 0.05%.

"I'm still alive! Don't let me die! I don't want to die! I can create a great army for you! An invincible army!" The mother's eyes widened, revealing a strong desire for life.

"Sorry! To me, you're just a disposable item. I don't intend to keep anything too dangerous around. If I'm not mistaken, you still retain Iria's memories and your intense hatred for me, right?" Zhang Cheng asked with a slight, enigmatic smile.

Leaving behind a highly dangerous menace?

He's not that stupid!

The wise thing to do is to destroy the animal after it has been fully utilized...

Chapter 1016 Superstring Warfare (XIV)

"No! You can't do this to me! I'm still useful! I still have value! You won't give up something that still has great value!" The Mother clearly realized what her fate was and began to roar wildly.

As an artificially synthesized advanced life form, she subconsciously retained her original mother's survival instinct, which was to live to the best of her ability.

For a normal living organism, nothing is stronger than the desire to live.

This intense feeling, which far surpasses reason and emotion, is deeply hidden in the deepest recesses of complex thought. It is only activated instantly under specific conditions, causing one to completely abandon reason and embrace animalistic instincts.

Only animalistic instincts can drive life forms that have adapted to civilized environments to adapt to harsh environments most quickly, kill competitors in a cruel and ruthless manner, and ultimately ensure that they are the lucky ones who survive to the end.

Having personally caused countless disasters and destruction, Zhang Cheng naturally understood what the mother's strong will to survive meant.

Unfortunately, instead of showing even the slightest sympathy or mercy, he walked up to the other party with a cold smile, dug out the core of life symbolizing Titan from the other party's chest, casually threw the broken star soul into the dark and empty universe, and then slowly injected the enormous energy into the interior of the dark planet through the crystal pillar.

In no time, the planet began to react violently, and then it began to shrink smaller and smaller... smaller and smaller...

It was eventually compressed into a sphere about the size of a tennis ball, but with a mass and density exceeding that of any visible matter in the universe. The mysterious liquid inside, which rotates at high speed, is of unknown composition, whether it is energy or matter.

Sensing the close connection between this small object and the distant, darkly glowing main axis, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly, muttering to himself in a voice only he could hear: "Perfect! Time! Space! Energy! Matter... everything that constitutes the universe is contained within this small sphere. What I need to do next is to make it form an even closer connection with the main axis, even to the point of merging them into one. In this way, no matter where I go, as long as I hold this sphere in my hand, I can continuously draw power from the main axis."

The words had barely left his mouth!

A small spaceship equipped with a communication system quickly arrived in front of him, and the clone adjutant's voice was clearly transmitted through the communication equipment.

"Commander! The clearance protocol for region C1240 in the sixth dimension has been completed. Target cleared. Please confirm mission completion."

"Confirmed!" Zhang Cheng nodded without hesitation.

"Purge protocol complete! Commander confirmed! In addition, I must inform you that your use of the purge protocol in a specific area has been deemed an extremely dangerous and insane decision. All important members, including the Initiators, are currently gathered in the conference room, awaiting your mission briefing."

"Mission instructions? I had no idea there were such bureaucratic procedures within the organization!" Zhang Cheng frowned subconsciously.

It goes without saying that he, who has always preferred to operate in secrecy, hates nothing more than someone hiding in the shadows watching his every move, and he dislikes telling others his thoughts and plans.

no way!

Selfishness is one of the inherent traits of human beings!

It is also an absolute reflection of the dark side of human nature!

Although he nominally joined the organization, he secretly had no intention of integrating into it.

On the contrary, he merely used the organization as a stepping stone, a channel to acquire more knowledge and power, just like he had done before.

"I'm sorry! Your operation almost turned hundreds of thousands of light-years into an inaccessible death zone. Many people want you to give a clear explanation and prove that you are not risking the organization's future." The clone adjutant relayed the order from the other side in a fast-paced manner.

"Hmph! A bunch of idiots who don't even understand the nature of energy! It seems they don't realize that there are huge differences between different types of energy." Zhang Cheng sneered, then carefully put away the shrunken dark planet and quickly returned to the mothership, passing through the base connected by the main hull.

The moment he pushed open the door and stepped into the conference room, countless eyes immediately stared at him, many of them filled with hostility.

It's quite obvious that his initiation of the purge agreement has angered many people, especially those who weren't on good terms with him to begin with.

Fortunately, the Initiator didn't seem to intend to pursue the matter. With a faint smile on his face, he gently tapped the table and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Alright! Now that the main character is back, let him give us all an explanation. Remember, no one is allowed to interrupt him during his speech, otherwise I will consider it a provocation against the organization's rules."

"Thank you!"

Zhang Cheng wasn't a fool; he understood that the other party's implication was to express their support for him, and he gave the members present a meaningful glance.

A full minute passed before he calmly explained, "I understand that some people think my initiation of the purge protocol is a dangerous move, even a gamble."

But that's not actually the case.

As is well known, the main cannons on capital warships use energy to propel high-energy particles to violently impact targets, causing massive damage. Their terrifying power is even enough to penetrate the Earth's crust in one shot, instantly tearing most planets into pieces.

But what you don't understand is that the dark planet is actually a special energy crystallization celestial body produced under the resonance of the main string. High-energy particle impacts cannot cause it any damage at all.

On the contrary, the energy that maintains the changes in gravity and magnetic field inside a celestial body is enough to form a weak insulating layer on its surface. The damage caused by high-energy particle impacts is far less than the damage caused by swinging a hammer and smashing it down.

That is why I dared to initiate the purge agreement, launch an indiscriminate sweep across the entire planet's surface, and draw out the Harlesen's secret weapon, capturing them in one fell swoop.

That's right!

The dark planet itself is the legendary Eye of Hallesen!

Based on my speculation, it is equivalent to a key, a key that can truly activate the full power of the main theme.

Once we have this key, we can fully weaponize the mainline, instead of merely viewing it as a conduit and logistical supply base.

"An interesting theory! But what do you have to prove your theory and inferences?" the Initiator asked, stroking his chin with interest.

Zhang Cheng replied with a smile, “Do you remember why the organization recruited me? You needed an expert in energy, mysticism, and alchemy, and I happen to be one of those experts. Energy is a very complex thing, not just something with different external manifestations as you might imagine. Each type of energy represents the ultimate rule that maintains the stability of the universe, and these rules are the embodiment of…”

Chapter 1017 Superstring Warfare (Fifteen)

能量是什么？

According to the relatively primitive physical definition of Earth, the essence of energy is a measure of the movement of matter.

Of course, this is only the limit of human basic scientific understanding and cannot cover the true complexity and breadth of energy.

In the vast universe, there is only one thing that can be everywhere: energy.

That's right!

Even matter cannot guarantee its existence in every corner of the multiverse, but energy can.

In this regard, Zhang Cheng knows more than any of the other members, and he is even a beneficiary of the death rule.

In fact, after confirming the true nature of the dark planet hidden beneath the soil, he realized that the bombardment from the main warships would not cause too much damage, nor would it trigger a resonance between the massive energy crystals and the main string.

"So... your initiation of the Purge Protocol was a well-considered decision?" The Initiator tapped the table lightly, scanning the conference room with a scrutinizing gaze.

In particular, several of the noisiest ones received "special attention".

“That’s right! And I also brought this back!” With that, Zhang Cheng took out the dark planet that had been compressed to the extreme, and by manipulating gravity and magnetic fields, he made the dazzling little thing float in mid-air.

moment!

Countless eyes were captivated by its dazzling brilliance!

Shock!

curious!

eager!

greedy!

……

Suddenly, all sorts of complex and intense emotions welled up within me.

All the more senior members understand what the main string means for the entire universe, but the problem is that a way to directly weaponize it has never been found.
