"Explain clearly, what kind of weapon of mass destruction is it?"
Talavan asked in a deep voice, his heart beating with unease, but he calmly suppressed it. "Did headquarters detect what type of attack it is?"
In this vast universe, something dubbed a weapon of mass destruction isn't as simple as merely blowing up a star or destroying a small galaxy.
Just like the Imaginary Collapse Pulse created by Dr. Calderon Chadwick.
Its first experiment was merely a small test.
Its true power strikes at the scale of a star system.
If he were truly targeted by such a terrifying weapon, as a Preservation Envoy, he believed he could protect himself, but the fleet he commanded... would likely be annihilated.
"According to Pier Point's observations, the Mythology · Heavenly Court's weapon of mass destruction appears to be some kind of dimensional weapon."
His subordinate, infected by Talavan's calmness, suppressed the panic in his heart and began to report the intelligence he had received in detail.
"The opponent's unknown dimensional weapon has completely enveloped an entire star system, centered on our location."
"Now, its coverage is accelerating, starting at one ten-thousandth the speed of light."
"According to headquarters, this dimensional weapon's strike is not a simple ascension or descent attack."
"Instead, it involves more complex and bizarre attack methods."
"Immediately convey my order to see if the fleet can jump away directly."
Of course, this was just an attempt; Talavan didn't count on it.
"At the same time, open those hidden treasures in the warehouse to see if they can allow us to jump out of the weapon's strike range."
When he first heard it was a dimensional weapon, Talavan breathed a sigh of relief.
As a Preservation Envoy, as long as he fully wielded the Envoy's Great Authority, he was confident he could save his fleet from such a simple dimensional strike.
But then, hearing the subsequent content, Talavan frowned again.
He hadn't forgotten that his opponent was the famous Genius Society member, an Envoy of Erudition.
That esteemed Herta would never fail to anticipate such an outcome.
Therefore, foolishly standing still and accepting an unknown attack was absolutely the worst strategy.
"If the attempt fails, then directly use the Curio: Dimness of Deep Banishment to banish our entire fleet!"
"Yes, Lord Talavan!"
"Lord Talavan, how is the situation?"
The situation was urgent, and Diamond, located at Pier Point, directly contacted Talavan.
"The situation is very bad. My premonition tells me that if we cannot escape the opponent's unknown dimensional attack, even I am not entirely confident of getting away."
Only when facing Diamond, another Preservation Envoy, did Talavan reveal the truth.
"If it comes to the most critical moment and there's no countermeasure, remember to prioritize your own preservation."
Diamond hesitated slightly, but ultimately gave the cold advice.
He knew that for a Preservation Envoy, this was a difficult choice.
But the company could not accept the loss of a Preservation Envoy.
Once Talavan fell, it could even shake the very foundation of the Interstellar Peace Corporation's existence.
That was a pain a thousand times more profound than the tragic loss of a massive fleet of star destroyers.
After all, Envoys are the core foundation of every superpower.
"I understand, but I'm afraid I can't escape..."
Talavan looked at his subordinate, who had returned in a panic to report, already knowing the outcome. He sighed and replied to Diamond: "Here, even using the Curio: Dimness of Deep Banishment, I couldn't get away."
"You should know how powerful this Curio's banishment ability is, but it failed to take effect."
"I'm afraid that genius's dimensional technology has reached its peak."
Simple ascension or descent attacks actually have little effect on Envoys.
After all, every Envoy is intimately connected to a Path.
With such a natural lighthouse anchor, even if hit head-on by a Two-Dimensional Foil, they can tenaciously climb back into the three-dimensional universe along that anchor.
As long as the entire Path cannot be destroyed directly, every Envoy is not so easily killed.
"Hold steady, stall for time, I will provide the maximum level of support from my side!"
Upon hearing this, Diamond's mind raced, and he commanded urgently: "Immediately contact Osvaldo Schneider!"
Soon, the connection was established.
"What's going on, Lord Diamond? I heard that Mythology · Heavenly Court used some kind of weapon of mass destruction?"
Osvaldo's unique voice, both frantic and calm, reached Diamond's ears: "What's the situation now?"
"Are you contacting me now because you need my service for something?"
"Imaginary Collapse Pulse!"
"The Imaginary Collapse Pulse invented by Dr. Calderon Chadwick!"
At this moment, Diamond's extremely cold voice entered Osvaldo's ears: "Now, immediately, launch this superweapon to pierce through the star system where Lord Talavan is located!"
"I want that star system, currently enveloped by the dimensional attack, to be directly pierced and shattered!"
"Even if that fleet is sacrificed, it doesn't matter, but Lord Talavan's safety absolutely must be guaranteed!"
Even if hit head-on by the Imaginary Collapse Pulse, Diamond was certain that Talavan Keen would be able to seize the opportunity and escape from such an attack.
Do not underestimate the life-saving abilities of Envoys, especially Preservation Envoys!
Although the power of the Imaginary Collapse Pulse is immense.
It is even a well-deserved star system-level superweapon.
But the biggest weakness of this superweapon is that its attack power is not concentrated enough, and its attack method is not flexible enough.
Facing a flexible Envoy, they have too many ways to directly escape before the attack.
However, if hit head-on by this unknown dimensional weapon, Diamond could not guarantee Talavan Keen's safety.
After all.
This was a trap meticulously designed by a genius, an Erudition Envoy!
"What?!"
Osvaldo's pupils contracted. Talavan, a Preservation Envoy, was actually facing a life threat?
"Immediately activate the Imaginary... Imaginary..."
As he spoke, Osvaldo's expression suddenly froze.
"What are you still doing? Activate the weapon immediately!"
Seeing the stiff expression on the other side, Diamond immediately felt a bad premonition and urged him.
"I'm sorry, after the successful test fire of the Imaginary Collapse Pulse, Dr. Calderon Chadwick seemed to be frightened and fled after destroying the weapon data."
"I had already set up an inescapable net and was about to capture him back..."
Osvaldo explained with an awkward expression.
