Chapter Twenty-Five: The Burning Plymouth

Li Kit, of course, did not disappear.

At this moment, in front of Steve's eyes, Li Jie's soul origin, bathed in golden light and flames, looked like it was surging like never before, and it seemed to be fluctuating in a strange rhythm all the time, but when he looked closely, it seemed that there was no change at all.

The glow scepter that had been suspended in front of him was now turning into a huge flowing glow particle, like a spiraling pillar of light, which continued to pour into his soul origin until it disappeared.

Steve was a little stunned, because the Li Jie in front of him was like the mysterious glow scepter, completely disappeared from the soul perception, but it was clearly standing in the line of sight not far away.

"Bruce! …… You...... It worked? ”

His eyes widened, and he asked with some hesitation.

Li Jie didn't answer immediately, he was silent for a moment, and he was even a little unsure of his state.

He had indeed taken full control of the Glow Scepter, but only to this part in his own hand, and after truly integrating the Glow Scepter into himself, he could clearly sense that this magical creation was only in a crippled state.

The reason why he was able to completely disappear from Steve's perception was only because he used glow particles to cover his breath, but he did not make himself an existence in a quantum superposition state.

Of course, this successful integration does not stop there. The glow particles contained some information related to this magical scepter, but it was not complete.

Aside from the way the Scepter was controlled, he only knew that the Glow Scepter was created by a race that called itself Hanafim, meaning "Child of the Stars".

From the mutilated information transmitted by the glow particles, Li Jie vaguely saw the state of life of these Hanafim tribes. They all live in a strange galaxy. That galaxy has only one giant gas planet. Three suns can be seen hanging high in the sky at the same time. The largest of these stars are yellow, the smaller ones are orange, and the smallest ones are red.

And the form of these children of the stars is completely different from other lifeforms, all of them are pure energy bodies, and behind them grow glorious wings that are larger than their bodies, with unimaginable power, but they are somewhat close to the angels of human legends.

From that mutilated image. Li Jie had a strange feeling of déjà vu, but he couldn't find a specific reason, and he didn't know if it was because he was influenced by human legends or other reasons.

But it was enough for him to have some kind of bad association.

Although he had been mentally prepared for this, this glow scepter was created by some higher beings, but he never expected it to be such a strange race.

If the Star Clan is hidden in a galaxy deep in the universe, then do these ruins left on the earth mean that they have ever arrived on this planet, and what does all this have to do with the Demon Clan?

At this moment, countless thoughts and questions swirled in Li Jie's mind. He fell into endless contemplation, and was unable to answer Steve's question.

But he had a hunch. All of this will be answered in the light of the Halo of Light intertwined with the Origin World.

……

On the other hand, of course, the countries of the earth will not be unresponsive to the declaration of the Holy See, not only have issued fiercely worded statements, but also immediately began to fully mobilize their military forces, countless warplanes and weapons are ready to fight, and the clouds of war have begun to gather over this long-peaceful planet.

The implications behind this are, of course, even more uneasy for the population, with more and more bewildered people coming forward to openly support the Holy See and even demonstrate pressure on their own governments, while the majority are in constant fear of the future.

With the exception of those countries that have been infiltrated by demons, all other countries have maintained a tough stance, claiming that this is contrary to the trend of history, and have even begun to exert pressure in tandem.

But the Holy See's patience was clearly limited, and just a week after the announcement, Great Britain, which was closest to the Vatican but refused to submit, was the first to be targeted.

This sudden blow was as violent and unpredictable as you could have imagined!

"I advise you to face reality, Callet, otherwise if divine punishment comes, it will be too late to regret it."

"What a divine punishment! Pretending to be a ghost. You can only use this rhetoric to fool ignorant women and children, Hollande, you and I both know what is going on, and you are so sure that those monsters can fight the whole world?! ”

"Looks like you're got your heart down. Well, good luck, Mr. Prime Minister. Oh, by the way, you've just passed the deadline, wait for God's punishment! ”

There was a burst of schadenfreude laughter on the other end of the line.

"Smack!"

The high-quality dedicated microphone was snapped down, and there was a loud bang, and there were clear cracks on the surface of the entire phone, which showed the extent of the phone owner's force at this moment.

The man sitting at the desk got up on the ground, and his former heroic figure continued to rise and fall, panting, which showed the excitement and anger in his heart at this moment.

"Mr. Prime Minister! I see the need to ask our allies for help. ”

Several middle-aged men in uniform sitting in the office were also a little nervous, the shining badges on their shoulders fully explained their status in the army, as military leaders, they certainly knew more information than ordinary people, Italy, France, these countries that had declared their acceptance of the rule of the Holy See were close at hand, and it was really not much confidence to deal with those superhuman monsters alone.

"...... Jielin"

British Prime Minister Rutlet? David's face was cloudy, and the attitude of French President Hollande was completely different from the previous one, and he had a sense of foreboding in his heart, and he didn't even know when the other party would hook up with the Holy See. After meditating for a while, he finally picked up the phone and prepared to ask the operator to connect to the White House line, but saw the office door being pushed open from the outside, and a major rushed in with a panicked look, and even forgot to salute.

"Mr. Prime Minister! Sir! Plymouth Naval Base Attacked! ”

Hearing this hurried report, the high-ranking officials didn't care about reprimanding each other for their rudeness, got up like a burning buttocks, and left quickly one after another, rushing into the military intelligence room in the official residence.

……

Plymouth Naval Base, South of Great Britain.

This secluded naval base is far from as quiet as it usually is, and heavily armed and patrolling soldiers can be seen everywhere. Even all warships and submarines have been resupplied and recalled.

It's still broad daylight at this time. However, the alarm suddenly sounded in the base.

"Unidentified flying object spotted!"

The radar operator looked at the odd readings on the screen. Combined with the database for a long time, this ambiguous conclusion is still given. As the most experienced operator in the base, he can comprehensively judge the target based on the shape and size of the object captured by the radar, the altitude, speed, and course of the flight.

Today, however, the operator had a problem, as the radar readings showed that it was clearly a living organism, and it was extremely small, but it was close to Mach 2, and it could not be a bird anyway, which really made him a little confused.

"Did you send fighter planes to intercept?!"

In accordance with the defense plan of the base. This kind of undetermined UFO will be intercepted in advance by fighters to avoid a surprise attack on the base, so there is this question.

However, before the commander could give the order, the radar operator exclaimed again, and his tone was full of disbelief:

"The target is gone! ……”

Everyone in the room looked at each other, and there was a feeling of unbelief.

The working principle of radar is to release electromagnetic waves, and then calculate the parameters of the target by receiving the diffuse reflection echo signal on the surface of the target. Plymouth Naval Base is equipped with the most advanced KOEDK-6352 Phantom phased array radar in service, one of the most proud technologies of the British military, claiming that no stealth fighter can escape the detection of this radar system.

However, today the ghost phased array radar is really hell! The target that had been locked on was just missing under his nose.

"Could it be that the target uses an ultra-low-altitude flight ......?"

A senior officer pondered for a long time. As soon as he put forward his opinion, he lowered his voice before others could refute it. Apparently he didn't even believe it.

Even the most advanced stealth fighters are only working on the shape, materials, and special paints to absorb radar waves as much as possible, and even if there is a breakthrough in the technology of the attacking enemy aircraft, they are confident enough that they will not be able to completely avoid the lock of the radar set of the base.

Of course, theoretically, if you fly at an altitude of 3 to 5 meters below the ground or sea surface, you can avoid radar detection, and in the 80s of the last century, in the "Falklands" war between Argentina and the British army, the Argentine Air Force used this tactic to inflict heavy damage on the British Navy. But how could the British army, which had already suffered losses, be defenseless, and this possibility had long been limited by various factors such as the topography of the base.

And to the ground in supersonic flight at Mach 2? It's no different from suicide! No fighter can do it!

There was an unspeakable silence in the command room, but it was extremely unsettling.

Offshore near the Plymouth base, Cardinal Joseph? Montini's whole body was shrouded in purple light and flames, like a thunderbolt flying through the air, his speed had broken through again, and the surging light flames completely enveloped his body, as soon as the invisible radar waves arrived nearby, they were completely absorbed and attenuated, and they could not be transmitted back at all, which was why the radar at Plymouth Naval Base was useless.

And today's attack by the Holy See is only him, or a legendary demon.

When Joseph silently appeared above the naval base, the shrill sirens still sounded, and the nervous soldiers stationed below didn't even notice the purple light above their heads for the first time.

Joseph, who had penetrated deep into the enemy's hinterland, was not at all nervous, as if he was wandering in his own back garden, slowly descending to the altitude until the surveillance in the base caught him, as if he was deliberately trying to let them find out.

This strange light and shadow naturally caused countless exclamations and confusion, and the base wanted to take measures to defend, but was shocked to find that the countless naval guns, close defense guns and shore-based missiles turned into scrap metal because the radar waves did not respond to this terrible target, and they were completely unable to play a role.

This scene completely panicked the British troops in the base, the radar could not be locked, and even if it was launched, it was a headless fly, but fortunately, they still had a small number of passively guided missiles, which did not emit any detection signals themselves, but they could sensitively receive sound waves, light waves and infrared radiation signals, and it was not impossible to do so.

However, as soon as those missiles were launched, Joseph spotted them, and his speed suddenly increased and he dived downward!

The terrifying purple flame led its body into a Merkava-type destroyer below at a rapid oblique speed, and the hard steel was as weak as thin paper under the purple flame that was stimulated, and it was completely pierced, while the missile launched immediately behind Joseph did not hesitate to pursue directly, accurately hitting the destroyer's bridge.

"Boom!"

A huge fire burst into the sky, and even in broad daylight, it made everyone in the entire naval base see clearly.

The huge ship quickly turned into a burning fireball, and Joseph, shrouded in purple light, tore out of the other end of the destroyer like a person, and the whole person was like a missile penetrating through the next 54 type missile destroyer "Gloucester" next to it, this steel monster with a displacement of 8700 tons was like a completely intimidated prey without the ability to resist, and countless inspired purple rays raged wildly inside the battleship, and soon hit the ammunition depot, resulting in a series of explosions that even affected the neighboring ships!

Joseph took the simplest, quickest, and most efficient way of attacking, his purple laser could easily break through the defenses of any large ship, and even at high speeds, he was a sharp sword, enough to cut these ships into wreckage!

One after another, large warships were easily detonated by him as if they were undefended, and the British troops on the battleships had no choice but to choose to dive, and the command and British troops of the base not far away had also completely collapsed, and they could only helplessly watch the seemingly subtle purple light in the bay wander around like ghosts, and the Royal Navy of Great Britain was like a stranded whale, lying in the base and still slaughtering.

Ball after ball of fire rose into the sky, Naval Base Commander Tyron? Stetter was so stunned that he didn't even know if he should give the order to retreat, and many of the Navy soldiers at the base had lost their minds and were unable to capture Joseph's thunderous speed.

Then, in full view of everyone, the purple light rose into the sky, and swooped down at an unbelievably fast speed towards the largest steel giant in the naval base, which was the pride of the Royal Navy, the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales, which had just been launched for service last year!

Because the speed was so fast, everyone could only see a flash of purple light!

The purple laser formed a column of light tens of meters high with great accuracy under Joseph's control, intercepting it from the waist of the aircraft carrier, and the British troops in the vicinity even heard the sound of steel twisting when the body of the mothership broke, with a total length of 292 meters, The aircraft carrier with a displacement of 65,000 tons was cut off by the terrible purple pillar of light, and the out-of-control front and rear parts of the hull began to capsize in the explosion, and the F-36C carrier-based fighter plane parked on the deck did not play any role at all, like a toy sliding with inertia and scrambling into the water.

The distorted section of the aircraft carrier was slowly burned and melted after being cut by a high-temperature laser, thick smoke billowed into the sky, and the sound of explosions, tilting and the crash of the plane on the deck intersected, making an earth-shattering loud noise, making everyone who witnessed this moment completely lose control, as if the pillar in their hearts completely collapsed, and some people even knelt directly and cried!

The overlord of the sea, who represents the crystallization of human science and technology, has no room for resistance at all, and is completely destroyed by that purple figure!

The entire Plymouth naval base was completely shrouded in fire and explosions, the billowing smoke could be clearly seen hundreds of kilometers away, and the occasional desperate wail of the surviving British troops in the sea and firelight was completely muffled by all kinds of terrifying sounds, and the colleagues on the shore were unable to do anything to help.
