Chapter 394: Chapter 393: The Battle was Over Before it Even Began
Pei Guang opened the minimap and quickly located the nearest Voidranger outpost on Earth. This time, the Voidrangers weren't inside a city but stationed in the wilderness, awaiting further orders from their superiors.
Without hesitation, Pei Guang pulled out a Starskiff and boarded it with Kevin. Seeing this, March 7th immediately called out, "Wait, wait, take me with you! How could I miss out on something this exciting?"
Stelle didn't say a word. When she didn't feel like talking, no one could make her. Right now, she simply didn't want to speak—because she knew for sure that Pei Guang was about to put on a show for them.
Meanwhile, Vill-V and Hua exchanged glances before also stepping onto the Starskiff. They had a hunch that if they missed out on this, they'd regret it later.
But as they boarded, March 7th suddenly remembered something and stared at the Starskiff in confusion. "Ah Guang, when did you swipe this Starskiff?"
Pei Guang: "Correction! I didn't swipe a Starskiff!"
March 7th: "Oh? Then how many did you swipe?"
Pei Guang gasped, "Shouldn't you be asking who gifted it to me?"
March 7th: "I know you too well. If someone actually gave it to you, you'd treat it like a treasure and never use it. The fact that you're casually flying it around means you totally swiped it! And judging by your wording, I'm guessing you swiped more than one."
Pei Guang: "Not that many. It's fine. Cough, cough, anyway, that's not the point right now. Let's go! We're about to watch fireworks."
With everyone on board, Pei Guang piloted the Starskiff toward the Voidrangers outpost. Upon arriving, he brought the ship to a halt in mid-air.
Standing on the deck, Kevin peered down at the Voidrangers below. They had already noticed the ship in the sky, and the Trampler units had raised their bows, aiming at them.
Seeing the enemies preparing to attack, Kevin was about to leap down with Judgment of Shamash in hand. However, just as he was about to move, Pei Guang pulled him back.
"Wait a second before you go all out. March, quick! Get your camera and record this for me."
March 7th: "On it~"
March 7th took out her camera while Pei Guang handed Kevin over a dozen 50% recovery potions, along with several full recovery potions for insurance. After confirming everything, she lifted her camera and got ready.
March 7th: "When should I start recording?"
Pei Guang: "Wait for my signal. When I say 'Go,' start the recording."
March 7th: "Got it, no problem!"
After arranging everything, Pei Guang turned to Kevin. "Stand next to me, and when I shout 'Get in there!' you rush in and call out the name of your weapon skill in the most badass way possible. Don't hold back—just keep attacking until you literally can't attack anymore. I want to see what the full potential of Judgment of Shamash looks like."
Kevin: "But… you never told me what the 'skill name' is."
Pei Guang: "Just make one up. Look at Stelle—when she uses her spear, she just yells 'War-Flaming Lance Charge.' It doesn't have to be complicated. The simpler the name, the better it sounds."
Kevin: "I understand."
Pei Guang: "Good!"
He then turned to March 7th, who gave him a nod. "All set and ready."
Pei Guang: "Then let's go!"
March 7th activated the recording mode, while Pei Guang stood at the edge of the Starskiff, looking down at the Voidrangers below. After a brief silence, he extended his hand and pointed downward.
Pei Guang: "Kevin, you're at full energy—get in there!"
Kevin didn't quite understand what that phrase meant, but the moment Pei Guang shouted for him to move, he didn't hesitate—he immediately jumped down.
At the same time, the dual guns in his hands transformed into a massive flaming greatsword. As he raised the greatsword high, he let out a furious roar.
"Judgment of Shamash, unleash!"
At that moment, Judgment of Shamash drained 50% of Kevin's maximum HP. But just as his life force was consumed, he also downed the consumable Pei Guang had given him, instantly recovering his strength.
At the same time, Judgment of Shamash erupted with immense power.
Seeing that the weapon skill had been activated, Pei Guang wasted no time—he immediately piloted the Starskiff to retreat. As he pulled away, the weapon, fueled by Kevin's life force, unleashed a devastating surge of energy.
The powerful blast struck the ground, and against this overwhelming force, the Voidrangers—who had once been impervious to human weapons—now seemed utterly fragile.
Even if this was a piece of gear with a high drop rate in this region, it was still a legendary item acquired by a player. And at this moment, a player's legendary weapon was demonstrating its full potential.
After the energy of the first weapon was depleted, Kevin pulled out a second Judgment of Shamash.
"Judgment of Shamash, unleash!"
Eleven Judgment of Shamash weapons. Eleven consecutive explosive attacks. The sheer force of the barrage completely wiped out every Voidranger on the battlefield.
As for why the ground wasn't utterly obliterated? Well, a certain Preservation-aligned trash can buried deep in the Earth silently folded its arms in satisfaction.
It might be a trash can, but as long as it remained in existence, no one would destroy the garbage it protected. With the will of Preservation, it would fight with everything it had to guard the sanctity of all discarded things within!
Meanwhile, as Kevin was unleashing his attacks, Stelle—who had already retreated to a safe distance—pulled out her blazing spear. For some reason, when she heard Kevin shout "Judgment of Shamash, unleash!" she felt like something was missing if she didn't yell out something.
As a Trailblazer, she believed in following her instincts: if she felt like charging, then she wouldn't suppress the urge.
So, while watching the spectacle below, Stelle pulled out a box of raw chicken wings and shouted, "War-Flaming Lance, Charge!"
She might not be charging at the Voidrangers, but grilling some chicken wings was good enough. And as she delved deeper into the art of cooking, she realized that wielding her spear while roasting wings made for a pretty solid culinary experience.
Below, Kevin was roasting Voidrangers with fire. Above, Stelle was roasting chicken wings with fire. Everyone had their own things to grill. Everyone had their own perfect moment.
At the same time, the Lord Ravager, who was preparing to launch an attack against Pei Guang, had no idea what was about to happen. But no matter what, it had no fear: it was fully aware of the Antimatter Legion's power, and it had a clear understanding of Earth's capabilities.
Though it had sensed the presence of the Hunt's Path, that power was far too weak—so weak that even a common Doomsday Beast could easily eliminate it.
As for Earth's technology? Far too primitive.
Based on the data from their last invasion, Earth's scientific progress was utterly insignificant. The planet would need at least another century of development before it could pose a real threat.
But the Lord Ravager had no intention of giving humanity that much time: once its forces were fully assembled, it would launch a full-scale assault and crush Earth under its might.
It would make Pei Guang and all life on the planet experience true despair!
The despair of being utterly powerless in the face of destruction—that was the beauty of destruction.
However, what it didn't know was that while a normal civilization might need centuries to reach a higher level of technological advancement, Pei Guang had effectively flipped a switch. The rapid acceleration of scientific development was tearing through progress like a final-cycle speedrun.
And with the accelerated time-space Pei Guang had activated, the "decades" in the Lord Ravager's mind might very well be reduced to mere days for Earth.
