When Duanmuhuai returned to the flagship dragging his blood-stained warhammer, the battle was over.

The Covenant fleet was completely destroyed, and only five warships finally escaped from the battlefield... But Duanmu Huai obviously would not give them a chance to escape.

"Locate the location of these guys, let's catch up!"

Returning to the tactical command room, Duanmu Huai calmly issued the order.

At this moment, the girls are still immersed in the shock of the interstellar war and have not recovered at all.

Although An and Gu Leiya had seen Duanmu Huai deal with interstellar pirates before, dealing with pirates and fighting between two armies were completely different concepts. Watching the huge battleships on the opposite side being blown up, the entire galaxy was filled with flames.

The brilliance of the space was filled with corpses and mutilated limbs of the Covenant monsters floating everywhere. The contrast between the grandeur of space and the minisculeness of the war left them speechless for a long time.

"Is this... an interstellar war?"

After a long time, Lorena asked in a low voice. Even An was silent at this moment. In the war they experienced, the power of individuals is very powerful. Like Lorena and An

, if they appear on the battlefield, they are basically the key to reversing the situation. Their magic and magic alone can change the trend of the battlefield.

But here, what they feel is a deep sense of powerlessness. They can only stand here and watch the battle in front of them, but they can't do anything.

"Yes, this is an interstellar war. Unless it is powerful enough to destroy a fleet with a wave of its hand, the power of a single body is really not enough. But this does not mean that there is no place for it, although giant ships and cannons are the main theme of space wars.

, but the role of people cannot be underestimated.”

Duanmuhuai spoke and patted her shoulder.

"Okay, don't think so much."

"yes……………"

"Master~~has found the escaped battleships."

"Very good, let's chase!"

The next moment, a curtain of light flashed in front of the battleship. Not long after, the dark starry sky returned to everyone's field of vision. Not far away, several Star Alliance battleships were galloping forward alone.

These warships also looked scarred and pitiful.

However, what the girls noticed was not these Covenant warships.

"Mr. Knight, what is that?"

But soon, Ann stretched out her hand curiously and pointed forward. Of course, what she was talking about was not the pitiful Covenant warships, but a huge ring-shaped object in front. It looked like a large,

The bracelets made of steel were just spinning in the universe. An and the others had been following Duanmu Huai in the universe for a long time. They were tired of seeing ordinary planets. When they suddenly saw such a strange man-made object, their curiosity was natural.

Just came up.

"hehe………"

Duanmu Huai naturally saw this thing. He smiled on the surface, but was also a little surprised on the inside.

What a coincidence.

In the game, the reason why the 04 ring was discovered was because the Covenant attacked Reach and the UNSC's Pillar of Autumn broke through. Then it ran around in a panic and ran into this ring. At that time, some players also followed the Pillar of Autumn.

We went to the ring together. They had the same idea as An. It would be a pity not to visit this place.

Then.........Heaven instantly turned into hell.

Unexpectedly, things would turn around now, and he would become the Star Alliance and be chased by him. When he was in a panic and couldn't choose the way out, he encountered the 04 ring...

Then what should be done?

Duanmuhuai almost didn't think about this issue, he made a decision almost immediately.

"All battleships activate their main guns, lock on the ring in front of them, and destroy it directly!"

"Hey? Hey hey!?"

The girls were all shocked when they heard Duanmuhuai's order.

"Why, Sir Knight?"

"Uncle Big, shouldn't we go up and investigate?"

Even Xue Li rarely gave her own suggestions at this time. It was rare for her to encounter such an alien civilization creation, and she wanted to go up and take a look immediately.

Haha, wait until you see the Flood Demon and see if you are still so positive.

Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes and then looked at everyone.

"What do you think this thing is used for?"

"this……………"

Hearing Duanmu Huai suddenly ask herself this question, the girls were stunned for a moment, and then began to think hard.

"Could it be that this is a prison?"

"I think it's more like a man-made gathering place..."

"Could it be someone's bracelet?"

"Where can there be such a big person?"

"Huh? You don't know that. Look at how big the universe is. Maybe there are giants that can grow to such a big size."

Listening to everyone's imaginative discussion, Duanmu Huai also shrugged his shoulders. Lani and Xueli were more rigorous in this aspect, while An and Bambi's imagination was a bit limitless. Even Audrey wondered if this was the case.

What kind of race built a huge piece of art in space - although this thing does look quite artistic.

"Okay, okay, let me reveal the answer."

Duanmuhuai interrupted the girls' discussion and gave the answer directly.

"This is a weapon."

"……………arms???"

It has to be said that Duanmu Huai's answer really exceeded everyone's expectations. They tried their best, but they didn't see any connection between this thing and weapons.

"That's right, do you still remember how we eliminated Im-matter on the war planet?"

"Ugh...it seems like some kind of radiation or something?"

"correct."

Duanmuhuai nodded to An.

"The function of this thing is similar, except that its scope is larger. It is not limited to one planet, but several galaxies."

"So big uncle, what is the target of this weapon??"

Hearing this, Xue Li also asked curiously, while Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders.

"All living things."

"……………Why?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"All living things?"

"Yes, after this thing is activated, it will kill all creatures within the effective range. Now you understand why I want to destroy this thing."

"Yes, but why would someone create such a weapon?"

"hehe……………"

This time, facing Xue Li's question, Duanmu Huai just smiled and did not answer. There were two reasons why he destroyed the ring. The first one was what Duanmu Huai told the girls. This thing is a weapon. Once it is activated, it will

It will destroy all living things, so Duanmuhuai must be demolished first.

Another reason is even simpler. When the Forerunners defeated the expedition fleet of the Human Empire, they forcibly erased their history and technology, and degraded them into savage captives. It would be disrespectful to come and go without reciprocating, and I will not treat you Forerunners as civilized.

If you wipe it out from this universe, wouldn’t I, the judge, be considered a fake?!

Do you still want the face of the Inquisition?

At this moment, Mia's voice came again.

"The target is within range."

"Open fire."

Duanmu Huai waved his hands, as if he were disposing of garbage—in fact, in his opinion, the ring belt was indeed garbage, and it was annoying to look at it.

What value does the things of the forerunners have?

“————————”

The energy-filled plasma torrent roared out from the muzzle and shot straight towards the ring in front of them. And the scene that happened next surprised many people - facing the offensive of the Tribunal fleet,

Instead of taking the opportunity to speed away, the Covenant warships that were originally escaping turned around and tried to block the fleet's attack on the ring!

Of course, all they did was block the vehicle with their arms, and it had no effect at all. They were completely destroyed by the bombardment of the main gun.

However, Duanmuhuai also understands the choice of the Covenant. For the Covenant, the Forerunners are the gods they believe in, and the Forerunner relics such as the ring are the sacred objects of the Covenant. Humanity is about to attack the gods and holy objects they believe in.

, then if the Covenant has no reaction at all, their Forerunner faith will be false.

Although it’s not really genuine in the first place……
