Chapter 797: Chapter 494: Blasting Mercury_2

This means the height of that monster is at least a hundred meters, maybe even close to a kilometer.

Otherwise, from such a distance, they wouldn’t be able to see the monster’s movements.

"Could that monster... actually be Wang Ye?"

"How did he become so large?"

"Hundreds of meters... nearly a kilometer... damn, he’s grown hundreds of times larger!"

"Could he intend to destroy Mercury with this form?"

"Even though his size has increased a hundredfold, destroying a planet is still quite a challenge, right..."

Just as astronomers were chattering about it.

Old Yi, standing nearby, saw the massive monster on Mercury with his enhanced vision, and shuddered slightly.

"Indeed, the monster from back then was Wang Ye..."

Back when Wang Ye transformed into a monster in another country and destroyed a military base, Old Yi was the very person who witnessed it firsthand.

He speculated then that the monster was Wang Ye, but no one believed him. Now he could finally confirm that monster was transformed by Wang Ye.

However, the current situation didn’t allow him much time to ponder.

The monster’s body on Mercury’s surface gradually expanded grotesquely and began to destroy Mercury beneath it.

"Is he trying to smash Mercury?"

"It’s very clear that he is."

"And I can see with each pound, Mercury seems to shake violently."

"What kind of power is needed to make an entire planet tremble..."

"Wang Ye clearly intends to destroy Mercury!"

"Is he trying to prove his power by destroying Mercury? Or is he searching for something on Mercury?"

"But that’s somewhat outrageous, isn’t it? Though his enlarged body could easily destroy a province or even a nation, Mercury is infinitely larger than any country. Trying to destroy Mercury with this form is akin to an ant trying to topple a tree."

With these words, everyone around voiced their agreement.

Despite recognizing Wang Ye’s strength, even if Godzilla came, it wouldn’t be possible to destroy an entire planet like Mercury in a short time.

If the target were Pluto instead, Wang Ye might just manage.

But Mercury’s diameter is over 4000 kilometers, what’s the concept of that?

It’s only across China that you would span over 5000 kilometers.

Plus, Mercury isn’t just a flat continent, it’s a round sphere, a planet that orbits around the Sun.

If he truly could destroy all of Mercury, it means he could also do the same on Earth...

At this thought, everyone present couldn’t help but shiver.

Meanwhile, the International Extraordinary Response Alliance also rushed over upon hearing, and began urgent observations of Mercury at observatories in regions that can detect Mercury.

Since Earth is constantly rotating and orbiting, only certain places on Earth can view Mercury beside the Sun at the same time.

Yet information spreads without such limitations, so upon hearing about anomalies on Mercury, member states of the International Extraordinary Response Alliance immediately sent astronomers to observatories to observe Mercury.

When they saw the massive figure towering several hundred meters on Mercury, they were stunned.

Undoubtedly, anyone with keen eyes could now see, that was certainly Wang Ye.

Who else but Wang Ye could have transformed into such a terrifying monster on Mercury?

At the same time, countless astronomy enthusiasts from across China, while observing the night sky through telescopes, suddenly noticed a blurry monster silhouette on Mercury.

Upon discovering this unusual sight, everyone initially continued observing skeptically for a while, as optical errors are not uncommon in astronomical observations.

But after a few minutes of watching, they realized that this was no optical error, but something truly happening. Because as the monster continued its destruction, Mercury seemed to tremble slightly; also, astronomy enthusiasts’ chat groups nationwide were intensely discussing the matter. If one person noticed an anomaly, it might be a visual error; but if hundreds or thousands saw it simultaneously, it couldn’t be wrong.

At this moment, astronomy enthusiasts’ chat groups and various social platforms were vigorously discussing this topic, and the hype quickly spread widely, reached many outside the clique.

[Could it be the legendary Cosmic Giant Beast?]

[Isn’t this the legendary Red Fish?]

[Whoa, this power is insane, all of Mercury is trembling! It’s almost like an oversized meteor strikes Mercury every second!]

[Will Mercury be destroyed during our generation?]

[Hardly got a chance to observe Mercury, unexpectedly encountering such an unprecedented event.]

[Wait a minute... why did the monster choose to attack Mercury precisely on the day of the western elongation? Was it intentionally letting us see?]

[Indeed, that makes sense. Choosing the easiest day to observe Mercury for an attack, clearly this creature wants to show off, and it might know Earth very well.]

[This implies the monster’s intelligence and power are terrifying; if it arrived on Earth, it might just have the ability to destroy the world.]

[Damn, is it the end of the world?]

[Wait a minute... you’re sounding more like Wang Ye?]

[Ah? Wang Ye?]

[Oh god, it might actually be him?]

[Then I’m somewhat relieved.]

[It’s this guy causing mischief again, huh?]

On Mercury’s surface.

Wang Ye, fully transformed into a thousand-meter giant, resembles the ancient Pangu, repeatedly slamming his fists into Mercury’s surface.

His fist, like a reverse-traveling meteor, tears through the dark sky, each punch directly exploding the land in a super explosion not less than a nuclear blast.

At the site of the explosion, a massive crater appears, exposing the silicate mantle beneath the crust.

As he continues pounding, increasing power, and utilizing telekinesis to transform his whole body into a meteor impacting Mercury, he blasts crater after crater, each larger and deeper.

Yet due to gravity, he struggles to truly shatter the planet.

To genuinely smash Mercury, he must disperse Mercury’s inner core.

The core of Mercury is a dense iron core that almost takes up eighty-five percent of Mercury’s radius, which is why Wang Ye’s power cannot transmit to the core—because the iron core has extremely high density and strong compressive resistance, absorbing much of the impact, preventing energy from transmitting further.

But thirty-six hundred billion years ago, a massive asteroid collision nearly penetrated Mercury. The resulting crater from that impact was later named the Caloris Basin by humans; its diameter is about 1550 kilometers, producing a powerful shockwave that formed wrinkled mountains called the "weird terrain" on the opposite side of Mercury.

This means the asteroid’s impact force directly penetrated to Mercury’s far side but still couldn’t directly shatter Mercury.

This proves that destroying a planet is extremely difficult; the gravity of the core tightly grasps the outer crust and mantle, preventing rock and soil from scattering. Only by giving the planet a force capable of completely shattering the core, capable of obliterating all rocks and soil, can a planet truly be destroyed. And theoretically, Wang Ye currently cannot achieve this.

Yet all of this, Wang Ye had already calculated ahead of time.

He knows clearly that his power alone cannot shatter Mercury.

Thus, he made preparations, using external force to totally destroy Mercury.

At this moment, if viewed from a macro perspective, it’s evident Wang Ye’s direction of attack is constantly towards the Sun.
