Chapter 827: Chapter 582: Breaking into the Satellite Chapter 827: Chapter 582: Breaking into the Satellite It was only a moment.
The enormous meteorite shattered completely in an instant, its shell, its interior, everything was crushed into dust under an unparalleled shockwave. Not only did the shockwave destroy the experimental target, but it also cleared away the other debris nearby. In the blink of an eye, an almost immaculately clean “space” had been carved out of the entire asteroid belt.
Seeing this scene, everyone on the Minerva gasped in disbelief.
“If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that a shell could have such Strength.”
Captain Talia turned her head to look at Duanmu Huai, who was casually tossing an Earthquake Shell.
“Uh… Your Honor, the Judge, could you please put down that shell? Just to be cautious…”
“Oh, no problem.”
Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders, then took back the shell and placed it behind him; no one knew what he did, but the shell disappeared.
“I have never seen a shell with such tremendous power. How is this possible?”
Luna Maria blinked and rubbed her eyes, feeling as if she were dreaming.
“I must be seeing an illusion.”
“Oh, it's actually nothing much, quite simple because this shell contains a piece of a destroyed planet.”
“….destroyed……”
“….planet fragment??”
“Yes.”
Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers.
“Simply put, when a planet completely explodes, we harness the shockwave released and seal it in a shell along with the planet's remaining fragments using a certain method. Then, when it's time to Attack, we just take it out and hurl it at the enemy.”
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed. Although Duanmu Huai spoke lightly, the strength of a planet's explosion was unimaginably powerful… Even the mere thought of it made them inwardly shudder.
And for the Tribunal to use such power as a weapon was utterly savage…
“But, such fragments must be precious, right?”
Captain Talia pondered another issue, as generally speaking, it was rare for a planet to explode, and in her view, such materials would be very difficult to come by. Although she was pleased that the Tribunal could help, she was concerned about owing them a favor that would be difficult to repay.
“Not precious, although a bit troublesome to produce, but not to the extent of being too precious.”
“Huh? But isn't it said that these fragments are produced only when a planet explodes? Such occurrences must be rare in the Universe.”
“Of course, but that's no problem; we can just blow them up ourselves.”
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai's nonchalant response, many were left speechless.
“…blow up ourselves?”
“Yes, for the Tribunal, destroying a planet is as easy as flipping one's hand. If we run out of ammunition, we can simply find a planet, blow it up, then collect the fragments to make more. Look, there's no counting the number of planets in the Universe; missing a few won't be an issue, right?”
Is that the issue?
Hearing Duanmu Huai's casual tone, everyone felt their skin crawl, knowing that this meant the complete destruction of a planet! Even if Julius 7 were to crash into Earth, it would at most alter Earth's environment, perhaps killing many, but some would survive.
But what if Earth exploded in its place?
Needless to say, everyone would die, not one left.
“Having planet-destroying weapons is a sign that a Universal civilization has matured, so you all still have a long way to go. Keep striving.”
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai's words, everyone looked at each other, and Shin Asuka even hugged his head.
“I can't even begin to imagine what that would be like.”
“I, I feel the same…”
Luna Maria shivered and spoke softly, while Kamyu standing beside them also looked gravely serious.
“Honestly, I think we could do without striving for that…”
“That's not how you should think about it. Like nuclear bombs, you can choose not to use them, but you can't choose not to have them. If you don't have them but others do, aren't you doomed? Of course, for us in the Tribunal, we are meant to use them.”
“Huh? They are meant to be used?”
“Otherwise, what?”
Duanmu Huai glanced at the utterly astonished Luna Maria.
“Those Alien Creatures attacking humans, they, like humans, have their home planets. If those Alien Creatures come to attack humans, how should humans respond? Just repelling their attacks is clearly not enough; the best approach is a permanent solution, completely destroy their homeworlds, and eradicate these cursed remnants from the Universe once and for all to avoid future troubles… Isn't it the truth that 'if the weed is not removed by the root, it will regrow as soon as the spring breeze blows'?”
“No, I… I…”
Facing Duanmu Huai's gaze, Luna Maria tried to say something, but felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on her chest, almost unable to speak. The complete destruction of a Race was truly terrifying. Although among PLANT's Coordinators there were extremists claiming to annihilate all natural humans on Earth, everyone knew they were mostly just speaking words.
