A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 1175

Chapter 1175: Chapter 800: Horror Chapter 1175: Chapter 800: Horror In the world of Cthulhu, Duanmu Huai still remembered a victim who once wrote in his diary,
“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.”

At this moment, the soldiers with military technology finally experienced this ancient and intense fear.

“What, what is this?”

The Gigantic Armored Warrior, dozens of meters tall, was set ablaze, resembling a tiger as big as a tank, unimaginably large falcons, and giant dragons that usually only appeared in fantasy worlds; they had completely overwhelmed the soldiers with military technology, who desperately clutched their weapons, unsure of how to react while being surrounded by the monsters.

But soon, they wouldn't need to think about this problem any longer.

The Steel Giant lifted its foot and stomped heavily on the convoy in front. The armored vehicles, made of steel, were crushed into pieces under the giant's foot as easily as a child's plastic toys. Then, clutching his great sword and roaring, it smashed directly onto the battlefield!

“Retreat, retreat immediately!!”

At that moment, the military commander abandoned any thoughts of continuing the attack. He loudly communicated his orders while desperately urging the driver to turn the vehicle around, attempting to escape the area. However, the command vehicle had just turned a corner when a pure white giant dragon swooped down from the sky, smashing the vehicle with its claw and halting its progress.

Inside the command vehicle, the commander looked in terror as the giant dragon's eyes coldly fixed on him. Then, drawing a deep breath, it opened its mouth.

“No——!!”

At that moment, the commander instinctively opened the door and fled, but then, roaring flames turned into a deluge, completely engulfing him and reducing him to nothing.

“Bang! Bang bang bang!!”

The Demon Lizard Tank hastily retreated, firing shells forward as countless missiles erupted from it and smashed into their own position. However, their attacks had no effect whatsoever. The tiger, aflame with intense fire, dodged the tank's fire with unimaginable speed and Agility and then pounced, shattering the tank's front armor instantly with one strike.

“Ddddda!!”

Meanwhile, the battle continued in the sky, as soldiers aboard hovercars and armed helicopters raised their weapons and fired desperately at the surrounding falcons while trying to climb higher to escape the battlefield. Although numerous falcons were shot down, they relentlessly kept surging forward. Using their talons and beaks to tear and peck at the helicopters and hovercars, soon, these flying machines were ripped open like tin cans, turning into exploding fireballs as they crashed to the ground.

D did not even make a move; she merely hovered in the air, quietly watching the scene unfold before her.

At the same time, this scene was being broadcast worldwide.

“How is this possible……”
Watching the military technology armed forces being brutally beaten on the television screen, President Myers felt a chill down her spine. Although originally a private operation by the military technology sector, she had instructed the broadcast to expose that woman's true identity to a global audience.

But she had not anticipated it would turn out like this!

What in the world was this?

President Myers felt blank, standing there as if she were a statue.

“Madam President, do we need to withdraw our troops?”

Just then, a voice beside Myers snapped her back to reality.

“Withdraw? Withdraw what troops?”

“Have you forgotten? To ensure the smooth take-over of military technology in Night City, our troops have been waiting at the border.”

“Oh, right… yes, that's right.”

Reminded by her subordinate, Myers regained her focus.

“Yes, that's right, we still have our forces… Prepare the Air Force! Lock the target, fire the missiles!”

“Madam President?”

As Myers took on a frenzied demeanor, the Minister of Defense beside her hesitated; he had thought of just withdrawing since it was a loss to the military technology sector, not theirs, but President Myers was insisting…

“Attack, I said attack! We must eliminate them!!”

“……Yes.”

Soon, a series of commands were issued, and fighter jets roared across the sky towards Night City. On the radar, the gigantic armor was clearly in sight.

“Target acquired, locking—-launch!”

The supersonic fighter jets locked onto the Steel Giant, launching several missiles toward it. Faced with this attack from the sky, the Steel Giant looked up and, even before making a move, saw the missiles directly hit his chest, bursting into flames.

However, it was all in vain.

Even the city-destroying missile attacks couldn't even scratch the giant. Instead, the Steel Giant raised his left hand toward the sky. In the next instant, numerous bolts of lightning covered everything, and the fighter jets caught in it were directly shattered by the thunder and lightning, turning into fireballs that plummeted to the ground.

However, it was not over yet.

Great Judge, “New America has launched tactical nuclear weapons towards Night City, expected to arrive in five minutes.”

“A foolish choice, but not surprising at all.”

Upon hearing Lumiaire's response, D snorted lightly. In this world, the use of tactical nuclear weapons was no longer as strict as before. In fact, during the corporate wars, the combatants had frequently thrown nuclear weapons, and even Arasaka Tower had been bombed once.

D of course would not just stand there to be bombed, and in fact, she had long prepared a contingency plan.

“What comes around goes around, Lumiaire, activate the Star Project.”

“…Really? Are we doing this?”

“Of course.”

“…Okay, I understand.”

A tactical nuclear weapon flew across the sky, heading toward the location of Night City. It had been commanded to completely destroy this city–this was President Myers's last resort. Although logically, doing such a thing during a non-war period would be condemned, President Myers had no other choice.

Ever since D summoned those bizarre creatures and defeated the military's armed forces with overwhelming force, Myers knew that if she couldn't annihilate this Angel and Night City today, then New America was truly doomed!

So, she made a desperate last strike!

But unfortunately–her decision failed.

“Madam President, Heaven Sword One has lost control! Someone has hacked its system! The direction of Heaven Sword One has been reversed!”

“What? Where is it flying now?”

“To the universe–it's heading to the universe–it has left the atmosphere–we have lost the signal of Heaven Sword One.”

“Sigh…”

Upon hearing this, President Myers breathed a sigh of relief, for a moment, she thought the opponent might manipulate the nuclear missile to strike back at her. But now it seemed that wasn't the case…

“No, Madam President, there is a situation?”

“What situation?”

“We have detected a large object flying in from outside the atmosphere… The destination is here!!”

“What is it?”

“It's… it's the Crystal Palace Space Station!”

“What!?”

Having heard the subordinate's report, Myers was shocked. She hurried out of the office to the balcony and looked up at the sky. Then, she saw an unimaginable scene–amidst the deep blue sky, a giant space station enveloped in flames was hurtling towards her. Its distinct shell was all too familiar to President Myers–it was the infamous space station, the Crystal Palace.

And now, it was spewing flames, heading straight for her official residence.

“No———-!”

Watching the enormous space station approaching, Myers desperately raised her hands to shield herself; this was the only resistance she could muster.

But that was the end of it.

“Boom————–!!!!”

The space station, as large as half a city, mercilessly smashed onto the ground, the violent explosion spreading abruptly like a hurricane, tearing apart everything around. The first to be hit was the New America official residence, which directly dissipated into smoke and rubble in the explosion. The ground began to shake, people screamed, scattering in all directions, trying to escape the storm of destruction.

But unfortunately, it was already too late.

“Crystal Palace Space Station has confirmed to have fallen, within a radius of fifteen kilometers has been completely destroyed.”

“Look, this is called efficiency.”

Hearing Lumiaire's response, D smirked coldly. She would not be foolish enough to use nuclear bombs to harm humans' living environment. For D, there were more things she could utilize, such as the space station in space–Crystal Palace, which was one of her targets, the space gambling den itself also a source of sin, where a group of capitalists, relying on their wealth, could retreat to a paradise far removed, high and mighty in the space station pointing out affairs, seemingly indifferent to however many died on the ground.

But now, they should have understood that at the moment of an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent. Want to stay out of it? That also depends on whether she agrees.

So, she had Lumiaire hack into the operating system of the Crystal Palace Space Station, then ignite its thrusters, forcing the space station to change course, fall to Earth, and slam right into the capital of New America.

Efficient, convenient, pollution-free.

Indeed effective.

Thinking this, D withdrew her gaze, looking towards the battlefield–military technology's armed forces had been completely destroyed, leaving only burning wreckage and corpses.

“Alright, the matter here is ended. Let's go back.”
