Chapter 71
”Hey…Gnossian?What's going on? Someone talk to me!”
'The blackout may have been caused by the EMP wave created e fired the gun It will take some time for the systems to come back online'
'That's insane, ould happen if we didn't hit the target?'
'Oh stop being such a wuss, this is a man's romance!'
'You're crazy Gnoss! Did you already know in advance that this would happen?'
'Naturally, we are firing an energy projectile based off pair annihilation, so it's normal for it to be followed by an EMP shockwave The ic and then accelerated att 999999 the speed of light By the tiet it has already created thousands of tiny black holes which last for but 's radiation theory which would s any matter in its vicinity
'I have no idea what you're saying but I just know that you are crazy Gnoss! The next time you have another of your brilliant ideas make sure to explain it properly first'
'Well, all's well that ends well right?'
'Fine, another 20 e points for you, you're almost there…'
'Don't do it! Oh look, it see back to us'
wooong! Chalcak chalcak! Zeeeing
Valen had finally regained power
”Ah Johra! How are you doing? Gnossian's persona isand won't be usable in the near future”
”Lena?”
”Right!”
” Extinction? Worst na sense”
”Why? It sounds cool!!”
”Can you check as the result of this crazy weapon?”
”Yes, I just received some feedback from the Gnostic Satellites, and found that due to the micro black holes, all matter within a 100,000 km radius of the point of impact has disappeared”
”100,000 km huh? That's insane… almost 100 times the size of earth and it has all vanished?”
”The eneet them all in one fell swoop Unfortunately some of Saturn's moons have been lost because of their proximity to the enemy shi+ps”
”This is such a scary result…”
”No enemies are left, not even a speck of dust in fact”
”OMG”
'Don't fret so much Johra, this weapon won't ever be used without your explicit permission'
'Stop talking nonsense now Gnoss, you're even the one who created this thing!'
'The only way I knew of penetrating their energy shi+elds was using pair annihilation and the black holes What else was I supposed to do? If I failed, it was in not properly controlling the AoE'
'But… would that work against a planet say Earth's size?'
'Of course, even if it were a planet 100 times the size of Earth, it would still disappear in one shot If it were 1000 tie '
'Figure out a way to control the scope of this neeapon, I don't want to be the cause of a Galactic disaster '
'OK?'
”Johra would you like to return to Earth now?”
”Yes, let's head there immediately, it seems like they have also had their fair share of problems”
”Got it, plotting a return course We should be arriving in 4 hours and 21Earth”
I felt uneasy looking at this neeapon called Extinction which defied all co reason the consequences would be disastrous
'Killing to gain experience or killing for revenge are all things that I can accept But to simply annihilate life by accident… that's a bit too much, even for me'
'Don't worry so much, there are many safety measures in place, and above all it can't be fired without your permission'
'There are always exceptions'
'I don't understand you, you are a De 50000 people was as natural as breathing'
'Can you shut up? You'll have to come up with a way to control it by yourself If I'm the one who has to do it then I'll tack on another 30 and by then you'd be gone'
'Wha…what 30? Okay I'll do it!'
Gnoss had been quiet ever since, hopefully he was busy thinking of ways to control the gun's power
”Johra ill soon be in Earth orbit”
”What's happening on the surface?”
”Volcanoes see”
”damn! Has all our hard work over the past two years been for naught?”
”At least we ed to successfully store 15 domes”
”Store?”
”Yes, It was part of the plans in their construction, my sister round”
”Great, still… only 15… has there been any news from Gamma?”
”No, they are still in lockdown and won't be able to communicate in the near future”
”Do we have any intel on our new underground foes?”
”We can't pinpoint thele location as a total 1000 bases have been found”
”Over 1000?Wow… than many”
”Also, each of their bases are protected by a strong energy shi+eld”
”Is there any way to get rid of them?”
”Using the Extinction gun…”
”Forget it!”
”Then there isn't any solution”
”Do you have any idea ould happen if we used that weapon against Earth?”
”Our enemies would disappear”
”It's not just that they'd disappear Lena, it's that everything would be gone”
”Well if it takes care of the problem then isn't it a solution?”
”Your sister would also disappear”
”A minor inconvenience”
”Haha… stop being ridiculous”
I was getting tired of Lena's dubious sarcasm and decided to consult Gnoss
'Gnoss?'
'Yea?'
'What your progress on your other task?'
'Well…it is not easy, but I '
'What?'
'I call it the Bunker Buster'
'So what is it supposed to be?'
'It siht into their bases'
'Hht that the maximum teleport distance was only 2 km?'
'Just attach the bomb to an excavator which would travel et past the shi+eld then Bam! Let's do this!'
'It sounds good, is it easy to make?'
'Ask Lena, there should be a production android or two on this space station You would have to help her by creating the h'
'How tedious'
It was however necessary to deal with these ene within the Earth's core
”Lena, would it be possible to use a production android?”
”Sure not a problem, what did you want to use it for?”
I explained Gnoss' idea and received high praise for the design
”I'll get started on the details right away What will you use to create theit from Valen?”
I didn't want to take it apart after having given it the name of my wife
”I'll simply create the materials myself”
After two ed to produce a sufficient number of these bunker buster and were ready for our attack
”Johra?”
”You have o ahead, open fire!”
