Chapter 846: Terminal Ray

The hopes and dreams of the Eastern people were in every bolt of that bastion ship . Their alliance had been stuck under the thumb of the North for years, waiting for the opportunity to rise above their oppressors in a single brilliant move .

This is why although Middle Heaven already proved its might several times over in battles past, it still had more surprises in store .

And Terminal Ray was nothing short of devastating . Lan Qing’s plan had been to save revealing it for a surprise attack on the alien home worlds! Now, though, his target was different .

That relatively insignificant line followed in the wake of Poseidon’s Soft Water explosions . However the burning trail it blazed was not pointed at the Violet Prince or Princess . Jue Di had explained to Lan Qing that the connection between them and the home worlds was exceedingly close . There existed the possibility they would be teleported to safely if their lives were threatened .

A weapon that could kill an Infinite-level alien could still be resisted for a time . At least long enough for the home worlds to react .

Terminal Ray was a danger, but also a great burden on Middle Heaven . A single use consumed nearly everything in the bastion’s stores .

There was no one around to witness it, but if there had been witnesses in the bastion they would have found Lan Qing with eyes blazing gold . Before him was a smaller figure - that of Jun’er .

She held her astrum, the Eye of Tomorrow, aloft in her tiny hands . Her body was encased by the nurturing energy of Lan Qing’s power . His own hands danced like butterflies over the controls before him . Several screens in the area around him began to flicker and change .

Terminal Ray was guided by the power of prophecy and assessment . Both were used to aim the laser where it was needed most .

The orange gold ray blazed for but a moment . Unlike Terminator’s shot, which went on for a time, Terminal Ray was gone in a blink . It passed through a cluster of five aliens, and little else .

Those were the aliens dispatched by the Violet Prince to reinforce his flank . When the light flit passed them they did not react . On the contrary, they grew very still .

For ten seconds no one moved . Then, fleck by fleck, the avatars crumbled away and spread out through space as a fine ash . In a single shot five Nirvana-level beasts were erased, sending a shock through the alien forces .

The aliens’ greatest advantage was in strength and numbers . They had more Infinite-, and Nirvana-level warriors than the humans by far .

In the moments after Middle Heaven’s attack, the Violet Prince and Princess felt their breath catch in their throats . A palpable fear swept through them just as Poseidon’s payload was beating down .

Middle Heaven broke off its charge after eliminating the avatars . The peeled quickly to the side, toward Jue Di and the horde’s right flank . Between the scourge of the corrosive cloud and Jue Di’s attack, the right wing was nearly crushed . But the beasts were many, more than Jue Di could destroy in a single strike .

As Middle Heaven bore down on its remnants, it engages its secondary weapons . Those monsters witch slipped passed Jue Di were faced with the firepower of the bastion .

Within Middle Heaven’s control room Lan Qing had returned to normal, and Jun’re had found a place nearby to sit quietly . The ship shook from the cost of using its ultimate weapon .

Lan Qing was nothing if not efficient . A single shot and not only had he reduced the number of his powerful adversaries, but also terrified them . He wanted them to know they weren’t invincible . If Lan Jue were not down among the alien planets somewhere now, he would have preferred to save it as a surprise strike on the home worlds themselves .
