"Miao Zi, direct the antimatter to the rifle."

"Energy has been allocated to the rifle, reactor power has decreased, be careful."

"Charging—10%, 18%—"

Colonel Kadun raised the rifle in his hand, its barrel instantly extended to ten times its original length, adjusted to focusing power, activated irradiation mode, and a pair of heat dissipation shields unfolded from the back of the mecha.

"31%, 46%..."

He didn't stop moving due to the charging, accelerating in flight while using the rocket nests to attack near the meteors, completely trapping Li Aozi within the meteor region.

"65%, 77%, 89%!"

The artillery preparation was nearly complete, with intense purple light bursting forth from the front.

Kadun held up the gun, charging like a knight, smashed the barrel down, shattering the meteor that served as cover, directly facing the hidden Li Aozi behind.

"—100%!"

Kadun pulled the trigger.

Whiz!!!!!!

The long purple brilliance instantly lit up the entire Eye of the Galaxy, planets swallowed and annihilated by the purple light, the immense energy made the cold cosmos seem to boil.

The antimatter beam continued to irradiate, the annihilation effect kept piling up.

Eventually, even the universe itself was torn apart, a powerful spatial pressure drew vacuum towards the outside world, the Burning Essence between the Starry Abyss reversed into the Layer Abyss, and under the continuous artillery irradiation, erupted and burned again.

"Retreat quickly!"

The waves of impact kept expanding, from the Night Butterfly's front line, all the way to the Crystal Tower Civilization's defense line.

The commander of the Crystal Tower foresaw the result of the impact from afar, this cross-spacetime strike capability had long surpassed the limits of physical rules, even light couldn't keep up.

Decisively, the Crystal Tower immediately activated the teleportation array, abandoning the previous two defense lines, directly teleporting the main force back to the base.

Yet as they landed, they still felt a cataclysmic shake, the entire Star Realm base violently oscillated in the cosmos, the Fine Gold golem was destroyed in the spacetime turbulence, mages fled, unable to maintain even basic order.

Seeing the disaster was about to expand further, a cold snort echoed in the starry sky.

"Humph!"

The general stationed at the Crystal Tower Civilization, the former Minister of Education of Baizhu Star—Balkmon pushed aside the nurse beside him, stood upright, raised his hand and grasped at the air.

Voom!

The Distortion Curse from the Border Abyss was fully unleashed, physical laws continuously collapsed and distorted, the space's turbulence under the curse's intervention gradually settled down.

"The power to break rules can only be overcome by a curse that breaks rules."

Balkmon dropped his hand, slowly sat back down, sweat slightly appeared on his bald head.

"Lord Balkmon!" The nurse beside complained: "I told you, don't act recklessly, you were seriously hurt by the Night Butterfly Madman, whenever you release magic, magic-guiding weapons, or Border Abyss curses, your wounds also burst open."

"The front line is already doing well, I can afford to lie down a bit longer."

Balkmon was indifferent, being a rough person, he didn't care about such matters.

"Besides, it's just casually swatting a mosquito, what's the big deal?"

If he hadn't acted just now, that cannon's secondary disaster would probably have hurt many people.

Balkmon appeared calm, yet his gaze was very serious.

"'Anti-Substance Cannon'—that's Night Butterfly's Kappa Mecha... looks like 'Primitive' Kadun is on the move."

He analyzed:

"Kadun is a loyal subordinate of Dufen Herman, now that Kadun has appeared, Herman must be commanding as well."

Balkmon scratched his big bald head, muttering:

"This is troublesome."

Just facing Kadun alone was already difficult.

Even though they're both Iota like that Implanted Gear youngster on his side, the Kappa-class mecha has quite a pedigree.

Since the Narrative Civilization's silent disappearance problem arose, Narratives began looking for new breakthroughs.

The Group and Empire set their sights on the Crystal Tower, possibly due to sharing their Materialist faith.

While the Temple extended an olive branch to the Night Butterfly Federation.

No, actually, the Temple had prior interactions with Night Butterfly, sharing intelligence this time.

Sure, Narrative Civilization can't directly intervene or provide material support—however, exchanging experiences among our theologists, you have no say in it, for freedom of belief is stipulated by interstellar law.

And for ordinary civilizations, Narrative Civilization only needs to offer a bit of knowledge for significant leaps.

The Kappa-class mecha was created from Night Butterfly and Temple's theological conference.

Technology? Not quite, the structure is just an ordinary antimatter engine mecha.

The design is even unremarkable, silver-grey coating, humanoid structure, a single-eye monitor, nothing rare—looks more like a common soldier.

But precisely, such an ordinary guy became Night Butterfly's most terrifying butcher.

"[Justified by Faith]."

Kadun removed his gloves, relaxed a bit, and said blandly:

"People from the Temple indeed have a different understanding of deities, simply understanding this system to resonate the machine and belief, the stronger the spirit and firmer the faith, can significantly amplify weapon power."

He lifted his head, looking forward.

The Eye of the Galaxy was lit up.

The spacetime membrane between the Starry Abyss was torn open, a giant dragon that passed here millions of years ago leisurely drifted by, thousands of years later, new Night Butterfly troops and the Crystal Republic fought here.

The excessively huge recoil even made Kadun unable to hold, the heat dissipation plates behind him clattered loudly, emitting dazzling light, like another sun, completely unviewable.

After several minutes, this shot finally calmed.

And across the universe, Li Aozi's figure was long gone.

"Wow, who starts off with such a powerful attack, meow!"

The onboard AI Miao Zi grumbled:

"Colonel Kadun, can't we fight more elegantly? Instantly annihilating the enemy makes the sacrifices of previous comrades seem futile."

"Battles are quick decisive instances, hunters continuously chase beasts, then take out the hunting gun for swift elimination."

Kadun didn't mind:

"Crystal Tower is just meaningless struggle, their national strength is already depleted, a desperate fight, this guy is indeed terrifying—but under Night Butterfly's sheer overwhelming force, it's only natural to be exterminated."

"You're right."

Kadun paused, not having time to don gloves, immediately gripped the controls and looked back:

The moon-white robe silently fluttered in the cosmos, Li Aozi spread his arms, levitating before Kadun's machine, porcelain skin unmarked by fractures or scratches.

He glanced at Kadun, and gravity waves instantly conveyed words:

"Don't be surprised, young man."

"How are you still alive?"

Kadun paused:

"I clearly saw you annihilated—"

"Using your Night Butterfly Man's words: thanks to deity's protection."

Li Aozi glanced at the [Lai Anding Medical Protocol], smiled slightly:

"Just that your deities don't have as strong a backup as mine!"
