## Chapter 327: Shattering the Star
A large amount of seawater surged into the area left behind by the expanding wormhole, forming a massive seabed vortex.
Reconnaissance satellites in low Earth orbit clearly captured this scene.
Not just the Pacific Ocean, but also the East Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, the Black Sea, and over thirty other breaches around the world all showed this phenomenon.
Facing the suddenly appearing seabed vortex, on the vessels observing and on alert around these areas, soldiers seemed to realize something and rushed onto the deck, looking at the vortex.
It was unclear who started it, but at this moment, the soldiers on the deck threw their hats high into the air, celebrating humanity's victory.
"Director! Our seabed monitoring instruments have confirmed that all the wormholes have closed! We won!"
On the Helicarrier tens of thousands of meters in high altitude, the young Cobra Commander held documents in his hand and knocked on Maria Hill's office door.
She couldn't wait to report the good news to the Director.
Inside the office, Maria Hill sat on a chair, holding a hot drink, and watched video clips transmitted from the surveillance video around the breach, playing on the projection before her.
On the projection, besides the seabed vortex, there was also the scene of the ancient titans leaving the wormhole and departing.
"The information is confirmed."
Hill took a leisurely sip of her hot drink. She relaxed and propped her feet on the edge of the desk. Since taking over the Trojan Plan, she hadn't been this relaxed in a long time.
As a top Agent, Hill believed her stress resistance was strong enough, but the success or failure of the Trojan Plan concerned the entire human civilization and billions of lives.
There was absolutely no room for error in this matter. Her tightly wound nerves finally relaxed at this moment.
Taking the documents from the assistant commander she had personally selected, Hill flipped through them and said without raising her head:
"It seems our plan was very successful. Even if the alien race Beyond the Wormhole weren't destroyed, they suffered severe injury."
"However, for us, this is just the beginning. The aftermath needs to be handled well, especially those supernatural crime organizations that took advantage of the situation during this wormhole invasion event."
The young female Cobra Commander nodded: "Officer, we have already created contingency plans for all those supernatural crime organizations that took advantage of the situation, and we can proceed with arrests at any time!"
Hill threw the empty hot drink cup into the junk bin by her feet: "Okay, before that, let's first deal with the remaining issues of those alien giant beasts, including their corpse disposal and containment! Any information from Monarch?"
"Monarch has collected King Kong's blood tissue and sent these biological specimens to several top biological research institutions. Our scientific research department has produced a batch of dissolving agents, and experiments are currently underway!"
Hill nodded and instructed: "I have received intelligence that someone in the Underworld is currently reselling the corpses of these giant beasts. Send out our Agents to investigate thoroughly. We cannot let these giant beast corpses remain outside!"
"Yes, Officer!"
In modern information society, no information can be truly sealed off. Coupled with the National Government not deliberately blocking the information, the news of the breach disappearing quickly spread online.
Along with this news, the Trojan Plan, which the National Government had deliberately announced, also spread.
Some politicians in the Western world even used the formulation of the Trojan Plan as a campaign platform, using words like "Earth will never surrender" to gain votes for themselves.
In any case, after resolving the breach crisis, Earth was currently in a state of celebration.
Ten Precursor olive-shaped warships were flying rapidly in Outer Space, heading straight for the Anteverse Planet.
These Precursor warships were identical in size and appearance, with brilliant golden-yellow outer shells.
The widest diameter at the waist of the warships was two hundred meters, and the maximum length from front to back was six hundred meters. The tail had thirty-six plasma nozzles, each about a meter in diameter, arranged in six rows horizontally and six vertically. Pale blue tail flames trailed nearly a thousand meters long in Outer Space, propelling the warships silently at high speed.
The Precursors are most impressive for their ability to modulate battle beasts, but as a high-level interstellar civilization that has mastered artificial wormhole technology.
The Precursors are not just a little ahead of Earth in the field of technology.
Take these ten warships, for example. As starships permanently stationed on the closest colonized planet to the Precursor Homeworld, they also bear the responsibility of guarding the Anteverse Planet.
Therefore, these ten warships almost represent the highest technology of the Precursor Civilization.
The warships possess extremely high durability. The outer armor plating alone is fifty meters thick, woven and coupled from dozens of layers of special materials.
The massive engine group occupies nearly one-fifth of the warship's volume and can support an energy shield up to a hundred meters thick. These activated energy shields possess the extreme durability to withstand the close-range explosion of a large-yield hydrogen bomb.
It can be said that if these warships had been on the Anteverse Planet back then and had activated their energy shields in time, the Precursors' High-level Staff would not have suffered such heavy losses.
In terms of attack, although the warship only has one main cannon in the center of the bow, the five-thousand-millimeter caliber main cannon runs through the entire vessel and can fire various special energy rays—freezing rays, strong magnetic traction fields, high-temperature rays, etc.
Ten warships simultaneously firing a strong magnetic traction field at a single target can instantly collapse the gravitational field, enough to destroy a normal asteroid.
The freezing ray fired by the warship can instantly reach temperatures close to absolute zero; the high-temperature ray can reach up to ten million degrees Celsius, comparable to the star core temperature.
It can be said that even the Tang Group's proud Great Tang Warship is just a younger brother compared to these Precursor warships.
However, these Precursor warships are somewhat lacking when compared to the Kree's active warships and the Nova Empire's warships procured by the Tang Group.
Whether in terms of flight speed, energy shield level, main cannon force, or energy source endurance, as one of the few major empires in the Universe, the Kree's warships are several streets ahead of the Precursor Civilization.
"Homeworld destroyed!"
"The King's consciousness node has shut down!"
"Battle beast manufacturing hub cannot connect, suspected of suffering destructive impact!"
"Initiating promotion system!"
Inside the warships, Precursors resembling certain aquatic plants on Earth were communicating with their kindred on various colonized planets through the neural network.
Over millions of years, the Precursors have used Kaiju to invade and transform dozens of Habitable Planets suitable for their race's survival.
In the blue neural network, countless information exchanges were happening almost simultaneously. Although the Anteverse Planet was the Precursors' Homeworld, as the planet's resources were depleted, it had become a Kaiju manufacturing and hatching base.
The number of Precursor Race members living on this planet year-round was not large. Originally, even if this planet were destroyed, it would not have been a fatal impact for the Precursor Civilization according to normal circumstances.
However, due to Corvus Glaive conveying the order from the Cosmic Overlord Thanos, the Precursors' High-level Staff had to personally oversee the Anteverse Planet to supervise the production of battle beasts.
By connecting to the neural network of these Kaiju, they could monitor the progress of the conquest of that Blue Planet in real-time.
Who would have thought that a Primitive Planet, one that hadn't even developed or left its own Homeworld, could break through the wormhole's gene identification and send high-force nuclear weapons to the battle beast manufacturing center, giving them a central blow?
This not only caused heavy losses to the Precursor Race's High-level Staff but also resulted in the destruction of their battle beast nurturing center and Homeworld.
However, the structure of the Precursor Race's Civilization is similar to that of bee colonies or ant colonies on Earth; they are connected to each other through a neural network.
After the death of the Precursor King and the High-level Staff, the Precursors' middle management automatically moved up to fill the positions. The first order issued by the new Precursor King after taking office was to send the nearest fleet to the Homeworld.
To inspect the situation of the Homeworld and incidentally clear out any potential Intruders.
The Precursor fleet stopped fifty thousand kilometers away from the Anteverse Planet. The fleet's observation system immediately transmitted the captured images of the Homeworld back.
Upon seeing the Homeworld looking as if its skullcap had been lifted, the Precursor neural network fell silent. The next moment, a tide of curses and thunderous roars of rage erupted in the neural network.
The Anteverse Planet was the Homeworld for the Precursor Civilization, so its symbolic significance goes without saying.
It was like humanity stepping out of Earth, only to look back and find their home base had been raided.
This was unbearable.
The Precursor vanguard fleet immediately began scanning and detecting the Homeworld.
"Beep Beep Beep—"
"High energy reaction detected! Intensity is Category Four! Intensity is rapidly increasing! Bearing *****"
The fleet's energy monitoring system issued an alarm, and the red dot appearing on the warship's virtual light screen showed the position was precisely the Anteverse Planet.
A Precursor used the warship's long-range observation mirror to look down at the surface of the Anteverse Planet and was shocked to discover that in the lava sea exposed by the planet's fracture, a large vortex several hundred miles in area had appeared. Countless lava layers were constantly disappearing through this vortex.
It seemed a giant creature was continuously devouring the scorching lava.
"Could it be a hollow in the planet core!?" The Precursor in command of the warship gazed at the continuously expanding vortex, somewhat suspecting that a hollow had appeared in the planet core.
The next moment, the energy monitoring red dot's position was further corrected, pointing directly at that vortex.
There's something at the planet core!
The Precursor fleet commander was startled.
Anteverse Planet, deep within the planet core, a golden figure quietly floated in the lava layer.
At this moment, the Golden Armored Corpse King's golden armor had transformed into a golden dress, taking the form of an Eastern woman. Her face was exquisite like jade, delicate yet not like a living person, as if she were a golden figure carved from gold, a meticulously crafted masterpiece of art. Around the Golden Armored Corpse King, in the lava sea spanning hundreds of miles, thousands of Yellow Turban Warriors stood holding banners. The banner faces in their hands were painted with various fire attribute elves such as fire dragons, fire chickens, fire rabbits, fire dogs, fire cows, and fire birds. As these Yellow Turban Warriors simultaneously waved the fire banners in their hands, the lava sea spanning thousands of miles suddenly vanished, and countless red qi rolled and rushed into the Golden Armored Corpse King's body.
The Golden Armored Corpse King used a divine ability. Her body suddenly swelled to a height of a hundred zhang. With a grab of her hand, she condensed the surging fire attribute qi towards her, transforming it into a fire dragon. It circled in the air following her hand movements. As the Yellow Turban Warriors waved the fire banners in their hands, rolling fire clouds condensed.
The Golden Armored Corpse King grabbed repeatedly, and more and more fire dragons appeared. At this time, the red qi deep within the planet core was inexhaustible and endless, regenerating as soon as it was grabbed. Only after one hundred and eight fire dragons were flying in the air did the Golden Armored Corpse King stop her hand movements, open her mouth, and inhale all the fire dragons into her nose and mouth.
A full eighty percent of the energy in these red qi was devoured by the Golden Armored Corpse King. As the red qi was continuously devoured by her, the golden skin on her body gradually turned into a normal human skin color.
The remaining twenty percent of the red qi was devoured by the fire banners in the hands of the Yellow Turban Warriors, nourishing the many fire attribute elves on the fire banners.
In the mythological stories about the Ancient Heavenly Court in the Jambudvīpa World, the status of the Yellow Turban Warriors was not high. They were the ones who swept the floor, planted vegetables, carried water, and stoked the fires. In short, they seemed to do all the dirty and tiring work.
However, Yellow Turban Warriors also depended on where they were. The Yellow Turban Warriors who swept and cleaned beside an existence like the Celestial Venerable of Dao and Virtue might very well be Dao Soldiers of the Pure Yang True Immortal level.
And these Yellow Turban Warriors holding fire banners were upper grade Dao Soldiers created by Tang Song using Paradise Mountain, totaling no more than three thousand. Each Yellow Turban Warrior's battle force was above average.
Combined with the Fire Control Formation Technique passed down from the Heavenly Court's Fire Department in Tang Song's memory,
All the fire attribute energy in the tens of thousands of miles of deep lava sea was drained by these Yellow Turban Warriors using the fire banners in their hands, turning into nourishment for the Golden Armored Corpse King to advance to Drought Zombie.
Meanwhile, in Outer Space, after applying to the new Precursor King through the neural network, the ten Precursor warships lined up and aimed their main cannons at their former Homeworld.
As the gun ports of the ten warships emitted faint blue firelight, a massive strong magnetic traction field began to envelop the Anteverse Planet.
The Anteverse Planet, which was already unstable after having its Heavenly Spirit severed by Tang Song's sword, losing one-fifth of its volume, and then having a large amount of geothermal heat devoured by the Golden Armored Corpse King, was like a hollow ball, shaking continuously.
Cracks deeper than the Grand Canyon in Africa appeared on the surface, visible to the naked eye.
After being enveloped by the strong magnetic traction field, the original surface cracks spread across the planet with a cracking sound.
The entire Anteverse Planet was like an ice ball that was cracking and about to shatter.
Crash!
The next moment, the entire Anteverse Planet directly broke apart in all directions, and countless rock layers turned into meteorites flying into space.
The fiery red lava was exposed to the cold vacuum environment and instantly solidified into rock layers, splashing in all directions under the fluctuation of the strong magnetic traction field.
Thousands of Yellow Turban Warriors shook the fire banners in their hands. A fire cloud tens of miles wide shone in the vacuum environment, enveloping their bodies.
"Intruder detected, main cannon activating, main cannon charging, Fire!"
Facing this suspicious red cloud, the Precursor fleet immediately turned their main cannon gun ports and aimed at it.
Ten thick energy rays blasted towards the red cloud.
