Chapter 654 Firing The Overlord Killer
Soon, they all began to test the orbital plane buster.
From the range, loading, firing speed, accuracy, consumption, wear and tear, etc.
Testing on those helpless dark beasts, they bombarded the void one after another.
“The range is short; it can only reach a tenth of the Dark Void Domain.”
Being able to aim at only a tenth of the Dark Void Domain, instead of calling it an orbital, they might as well call it a long-range cannon.
“We lack some ultimate materials, so the range is not up to par,” Maximus sighed.
His plan was for the orbital plane cannon to reach anywhere in the Aeon Plane with a single click.
However, due to his lack of ability and materials, much less the whole Aeon Plane, it couldn’t even cover the entire Dark Domain.
“The loading and firing speed still needs improvement.”
Taking a few minutes to fire and reload was a major flaw.
“This is not a suppression weapon; how can it have a fast firing rate?”
This weapon was supposed to be a secret weapon, a trump card when they couldn’t defeat the enemy—not a regular weapon because they were too lazy to go out of their way to kill the enemy.
“It still needs to be faster. You’re burying its potential if it’s this slow.”
Your adventure continues at empire
“That’s right, Father. Since there is almost no consumption, you should increase the firing rate!”
“Maybe we could even lower the power so it wouldn’t damage the body!”
Different from their father, they only considered the orbital plane blaster as a convenient toy.
Its full power wasn’t even as good as their father’s. How could it be used as their trump card?
Wanting it to be cooler, they suggested all kinds of crazy things.
From faster firing rates to different firing modes like single mode, multiple mode, even laser mode.
There was also variable firing output so that instead of disintegrating the enemy and losing their harvest, the orbital plane cannon could vary its power depending on the enemy.
Some also suggested several auxiliary machine devices.
Like automatic harvesting machines, mobile teleportation arrays, shrinking arrays, etc.
Listening to their suggestions, Maximus felt a headache.
It wasn’t that the suggestions weren’t valid, but simply that they were a lot of work.
“Don’t worry, Father. If you don’t have time, we can also help.”
Too excited about the prospect of creating the ultimate weapon of the Shadowcrest family, they didn’t even think about the work involved.
“Fine, fine! I’ll deduce the blueprint later. It’s up to you whether you have the time to do it or not.” Seeing the stars in their eyes, Maximus could only agree.
“By the way, Father, what about the overloading mode?” Liam suddenly asked.
“Overloading mode?”
Ignorant of the inner workings of the orbital plane blaster, they didn’t know about the overloading mode.
“No, we can’t try it, much less in this dangerous place,” Maximus hurriedly shook his head.
Dark beasts were heavily attracted to energy.
Firing the overloading mode in such a place was no different from throwing a torch into a barrel of explosives.
Maximus didn’t dare to think about the consequences once the dark beasts went on a riot.
“Oh, that’s right.” Liam also nodded, thinking of the consequences.
Thinking that it costs 100 ultimate materials for each shot, Liam felt it was a big loss.
Furthermore, as a secret weapon and trump card, once it was fired, its lethality would no longer be as great.
“What is the overloading mode, Father?” they asked impatiently, not understanding what they were talking about.
“It’s the…” Explaining the overloading mode, they felt a rush of blood.
“A strike comparable to an Overlord?!”
This time, they had already forgotten the various shortcomings of the orbital plane blaster.
With the ability to fire a strike comparable to an Overlord, what were a few defects?
The regular firing mode must have been just a side feature from their father.
This overloading mode must be the primary function of this ultimate killer.
“I wonder, what sight would a strike comparable to an Overlord be?” Asha muttered in wonder.
Looking at the control panel, she tried to fire a few more times, imagining such a sight.
Suddenly, looking at the inconspicuous button covered in a protective case, Asha thought it might be the overloading mode her father was talking about.
“Auntie, what are you in a daze for? It’s my turn,” Maxine muttered excitedly.
“Oh, here you are.”
“Hehe.”
Taking her turn, Maxine hurriedly opened the encapsulated button Asha was looking at.
“It should be the firing button, right?” Busy when the others were testing the weapon, Maxine had no idea how it worked.
Clicking the inconspicuous button, the control panel suddenly turned red.
“Huh? Is this just a light change?”
Trying the buttons one after another, like guided by fate, Maxine followed the exact code sequence to fire the overloading mode.
Even the people on the ship didn’t seem to notice anything as they marveled at the power and prospects of the orbital plane blaster.
Seeing a red button slowly rising in the middle, Maxine felt she had clicked the right button.
“Sigh, this is too hard to use! Too boring~ I’ll eat once I try this.” Too exhausted from randomly pressing countless buttons, Maxine just wanted it to be over with.
Raising her hand, she tried to press the button.
“Maxine, that—!”
Witnessing the last moment as Maxine pressed the red button, Maximus screamed internally.
In a panic, Maximus mobilized the path of knowledge, trying to stop the action.
However, like orchestrated by fate, his path of law suddenly broke through the 59% bottleneck, causing a split-second lag.
“Nooo!”
Under his horrified eyes, a flash of blinding light streaked across the void.
Blasting all matter and non-conceptual matter, from the laws to the very fabric of the Aeon Plane.
In short, the strike poked a hole in the void.
“This—”
All the people on board, seeing the strike, were in shock.
“Did I do something bad?” Maxine asked, seeing their horrified eyes.
“What do you think?”
