B6-tier Laser Cannon

Everyone in the conference hall was stunned into silence, so quiet that the drop of a pin would be clearly audible. On Earth, no one dared to claim they could confidently kill the Swallowing Beast. Even Hong and Lei Shen, who possessed domains, spoke of "fighting to the death to kill the Swallowing Beast," meaning they would risk their lives entirely! There was no certainty!

"Luo Feng!" Hong stared intently at Luo Feng. "What... what did you say?"

"I didn't hear clearly." Lei Shen, standing nearby, also stared at Luo Feng. "Say it again!"

"Luo Feng, what did you just say!" Jia Yi grabbed Luo Feng, his voice trembling with excitement and tension.

"Luo Feng." Leaders from various nations and powerful councilors all fixed their gaze on Luo Feng, like a group of people about to drown spotting a ship approaching. Many rubbed their ears, worried they had misheard. Some even asked those next to them if Luo Feng had truly said it. Tension, excitement, apprehension... a mix of emotions permeated the conference hall.

"I said!" Luo Feng took a deep breath, looking at everyone around him. "I am confident! I can kill the Swallowing Beast!"

"Truly confident?"

"Luo Feng, what... what will you use to kill the Swallowing Beast?"

"Luo, you're not lying to us, are you?" People of all skin colors and from various nations couldn't help but shout, some with white hair, their faces flushed with excitement.

"Silence." Hong shouted loudly. The conference hall gradually quieted. Hong said in a loud voice, "I will question Luo Feng; everyone calm down." After all, those present were Earth's elites; they had lost their composure because the survival of their nations, races, and indeed all of humanity on Earth was at stake. Hearing Hong, they managed to calm down somewhat.

"Luo Feng." Hong looked at Luo Feng, and everyone in the conference hall watched Luo Feng.

Luo Feng looked at Hong. "Ask."

"What will you use to kill the Swallowing Beast? Don't tell me you're going to fight to the death." Hong looked at Luo Feng. The conference hall contained some of the world's top experts; they would know from Luo Feng's words whether he was truly confident or lying.

"Everyone." Luo Feng glanced around. "Last time in the conference hall, I requested a document from the Grand Hall Master detailing the ancient civilization ruins on Earth!"

"I can confirm that." Hong nodded slightly; he had indeed given Luo Feng that information.

"When the Swallowing Beast appeared, I was also very anxious. After much thought, I believed there might be hope for saving Earth within the ancient civilization ruins." Luo Feng said solemnly, "Of the many ruins on Earth, almost all have been explored by various nations. Only the Three Great Perilous Zones remain!"

"Three Great Perilous Zones?" Many present exclaimed. They all knew how incredibly dangerous those Three Great Perilous Zones were.

"Which one of the No. 1, No. 12, or No. 31 ruins did you go to?" Hong couldn't help but ask. Everyone on Earth knew how dangerous those Three Great Perilous Zones were.

"The No. 1 Bermuda underwater silver-white pyramid and the No. 31 poisonous gas source in Shenlongjia, I couldn't enter." Luo Feng shook his head. "I entered the No. 12 ruin, which was a black spaceship."

Many in the conference hall nodded. Not a few knew about the No. 12 ruin, but all nations had suffered losses there.

"That spaceship could maintain the 'energy supply' for the laser channel, so I concluded then... that the spaceship wouldn't be severely damaged. And indeed!" Luo Feng's eyes lit up. "After I entered, some weapons were damaged. But the most powerful single-target offensive weapon among them—a laser cannon—was almost perfectly intact! I obtained a repair robot inside the spaceship, and it's been undergoing repairs. I believe it should be almost ready for use now."

"A laser cannon? How powerful could that be?" Someone seemed skeptical.

"Don't speak carelessly if you don't understand." A disheveled white-haired old man stared at Luo Feng. "What tier is the laser cannon you obtained?"

Luo Feng paused slightly. Babata's voice echoed in his sea of consciousness: "Tell him, it's B6-tier!"

"It's B6-tier!" Luo Feng said.

"Oh my god, B6-tier! Humanity is saved! Humanity is saved!!!" The disheveled old man immediately burst into excited tears and laughter.

A powerful councilor nearby immediately asked, "Mr. Buleikenliqi, just how powerful is this B6-tier laser cannon?"

"Everyone." The old man, Buleikenliqi, looked around and said loudly, "Many here know this. The laser cannons developed on Earth that can kill King-tier monsters were created only after carefully disassembling and studying damaged laser cannons found in ancient civilization ruins."

"At that time, I obtained some data that detailed the power tiers of laser cannons in the cosmos." Buleikenliqi said, "Translated into Earth's language, they are divided into three major tiers: A, B, and C."

"For example, an A1-tier laser cannon can kill an ordinary First-tier Planetary-level warrior! An A2-tier laser cannon can kill an ordinary Second-tier Planetary-level warrior! And so on, an A9-tier laser cannon can kill a Ninth-tier Planetary-level warrior!"

"As for B-tier laser cannons, they are very precious even in the cosmos. A B1-tier laser cannon can kill an ordinary First-tier Star-level warrior." Buleikenliqi laughed heartily. "Similarly, a B6-tier can kill an ordinary Sixth-tier Star-level warrior! According to the data, even an entire interstellar fleet at that time wouldn't possess such a single-person weapon."

The conference hall immediately erupted. "Haha! There's hope, there's hope!" "No need to die, no need for so many to die." "Haha." "Roar, roar." Many of Earth's peak elites present were now losing their composure in excitement. But no one cared about that... what did losing composure matter?

"Luo Feng." Hong looked at Luo Feng, smiling. "Thank you!"

"Grand Hall Master..." Luo Feng was about to speak.

"Don't call me Grand Hall Master. If you respect me, just call me Brother Hong, like Lei does." Hong smiled. He was indeed very grateful to Luo Feng... even if he fought to the death, he only had a twenty to thirty percent chance of success. If they could kill the Swallowing Beast without dying, who would willingly sacrifice themselves?

"Brother Hong." Luo Feng called out.

"Haha, good, haha, I'm happy, I haven't been this happy in a long time." Hong was completely losing his composure, and Lei Shen also walked over.

"Right, Luo Feng." Hong's expression turned serious. He said solemnly, "I know that the laser cannon's speed reaches light speed, so the Swallowing Beast can't escape it at all! But if one shot doesn't kill it, the Swallowing Beast will definitely escape underground instantly and quickly find an opportunity to retaliate and destroy the laser cannon. So... there's only one chance to kill it."

Luo Feng's heart jolted. Right! A laser cannon, also known as a laser gun, is fast! But after firing one shot, the second attack requires a slight charge-up. In that brief preparation time, with the Swallowing Beast's incredible speed, it could definitely escape easily. Once it escapes... the Swallowing Beast wouldn't give Luo Feng a second chance.

"I understand." Luo Feng nodded.

...

His consciousness left the virtual space and returned to reality; it was already past six in the morning. Outside the window, it was already dimly lit. "Night has passed, and dawn has broken." Luo Feng stood on the balcony, his exhaled breath fogging up the glass.

"Luo Feng, it's done, it's done, wahahaha... I, Babata, am too awesome! A laser cannon unused for over 800,000 years, only I, Babata, could fix it so quickly." Babata's proud and wild laughter echoed in Luo Feng's sea of consciousness. Luo Feng showed joy; he wasn't in the mood to blame Babata for his arrogance. Instead, he quickly said, "Where's the weapon? Let me see it."

"Damn, don't rush." In the smart space on his wrist, Babata stretched. "Although this laser cannon is a single-person weapon, it's a single-person weapon in the cosmos. It still takes up a considerable amount of space. It requires a space six meters long, six meters wide, and three meters high. Your balcony can't fit it."

"This is called a single-person weapon?" Luo Feng was astonished.

"Any robot or warrior can easily carry it. Of course it's a single-person weapon." Babata said discontentedly, "You should see, those large battleship-mounted weapons, their sheer size alone is comparable to your Earth's aircraft carriers!"

Luo Feng rubbed his head and chuckled. He was right. It made sense for weapons within a planet and weapons in space to have vastly different specifications.

"And Luo Feng, you can't operate this weapon yourself. Don't you have three repair robots? Assign one to me. I'll program it. Entrusting such operations to a robot is absolutely correct. Although they lack creativity, they definitely won't make any low-level mistakes." Babata said.

Luo Feng naturally had to agree! One of the three black metal robots was quickly taken by Babata directly into his storage space for programming.

...

"Why hasn't the Swallowing Beast emerged from the seabed yet?" On the rooftop of Luo Feng's home, Hong, Lei Shen, Jia Yi, and others, including Luo Feng, a total of 12 people, were gathered. The sun was now high in the sky; it was past noon, around 12 PM.

"What's the rush? It would be best if the Swallowing Beast never came out." Hong glanced at Lei Shen with a smile, while Luo Feng was looking at the tall black metal robot before him, and the huge instrument resting on the ground—six meters long, six meters wide, and three meters thick, appearing to be entirely constructed of crystal. Its complex internal structure was dazzling. And its muzzle had a diameter of five meters.

"Can this one shot kill the Swallowing Beast?" Mohanderson from America asked, somewhat worried.

"Don't worry." Luo Feng smiled confidently. "Don't let the Swallowing Beast's 180-meter length fool you; its head is only twenty meters long. A five-meter diameter beam of light will blast its entire skull apart, ensuring it's utterly annihilated, deader than dead!"

"Good, blast its head off." Mohanderson was somewhat excited.

The group waited anxiously. Only the black metal robot stood motionless, the sunlight hitting it with almost no reflection.

Time passed, minute by minute. One PM, three PM, five PM... When the sun was already setting in the west, about to disappear.

"Hello." Hong pressed his communication watch. "Grand Hall Master, the Swallowing Beast just flew out of the sea near Swains Island, close to Antarctica!" The voice came from the communication watch, instantly exciting all 12 people present.

Almost simultaneously, everyone else's communication watches vibrated. It's here! The Swallowing Beast has finally emerged!
