BOOM-!

There was a loud explosion.

On the planet of a candidate ranked in the top 4,000, a Fire Giant raised its massive fist, slamming it and crushing the Lightning Beast. On the ground lay piles of Lightning Beast corpses. The candidate collapsed and chose to leave the examination room, this genius from a medium-sized city was thus eliminated.

On other candidates' planets, a similar scene appeared. The races they had created were battered by Fire Giants and in seconds, they were nearly wiped out.

Several Fine Giants quickly advanced on Lucy's planet, as their flaming fists slammed down without mercy. Though Mages kept casting spells to interfere, the Fine Giants deflected them all, so there was no effect whatsoever.

RUMBLE-!

Several loud booms rang out.

An Energy Warrior coughed up a mouthful of blood and thrown aside. The other Warriors didn't fare well, either, as their Energy Shields shattered with a single punch. Lucy was so alarmed that she quickly ordered the Energy Warrior in the rear to replace them.

BOOM-!, BOOM-!, BOOM-!, BOOM...

The Fine Giants continued their assault. Within moments, of the 800 Energy Warriors, 100 had already lost their fighting ability and more than 20 were killed on the spot. Lucy's palm clenched and her face was grim as never before. The Fire Giants were dreadful beyond belief.

Lucy wasn't the only one struggling; even Bailey's Treant, with their impressive defense, couldn't withstand the Fire Giants' punches for long. The Treant shook, as leaves and branches scattered everywhere.

"If this continues, the Treant will perish. I'll have to use my trump card." A hint of helplessness flashed in Bailey's eyes.

On the planets of other candidates, similar struggles ensued, each of them fought desperately to resist the Fire Giants' fury.

Top geniuses from various cities were eliminated one after another and for the major names in the City Hall, it was a sight of excitement.

As for the Astra Militarum, they weren't doing much better. Though they'd dug a big trench with the Crimson Blood, the Fire Giants pressed forward from both sides, and Artillery and Firearms could only slightly delay their approach.

The soldiers on the walls tried every method at their disposal, while they waited for Elizabeth's move to activate the wonder weapon that left everyone in amazement.

With a clatter, the gates opened. Elizabeth walked in alone and the door closed behind her. She entered a vast chamber, deep within the Royal Tombs Mountains, more than 3 kilometers from the walls.

In this space, an enormous steel monstrosity is reflected in Elizabeth's eyes. She gazed upon this metallic beast and a flash of complexity in her eyes.

5 years ago, this behemoth had been born from the whimsical mind of a Scientist named Gustav Krupp. When the Sniper Rifle had just been developed back then, this Scientist suddenly had an idea. Could they develop something like a Sniper Cannon? A scaled-up Sniper Rifle with more power?

When this idea was suggested, it made many Scientists laugh. A Sniper Cannon? Was that even possible?

Ordinary Artillery wasn't nearly as accurate as a Sniper Rifle, so developing a larger, stable Sniper Rifle would be a huge task. Yet among the Scientists of the Astra Militarum, a few eccentric minds took up the challenge.

Elizabeth had not objected, after all, good ideas often stemmed from unusual thoughts. What she hadn't expected, however, was that this seemingly impossible project would lead to the creation of a devastating weapon.

After 3 years of development, this project produced initial results: a crude but functional Siege Artillery. It was amazing what Scientists had succeeded, and their success was largely due to two otherworldly metals: Starfall Iron and Vibranium.

The Scientists used the unique properties of these metals to make the Artillery more stable and accurate. But there was a big problem, the Siege Artillery was massive, its barrel alone spanned over 50 meters.

Elizabeth recognized the Siege Artillery's potential instantly, so she expanded the project team and even took personal command. After another year of day-and-night research and development, they produced a more refined and stable Mega-Artillery. The weapon's final name was the Heavy Gustav.

During its first test, it unleashed terrifying power that left everyone in the Astra Militarum shaken. Due to its overwhelming power, it was only tested once before being sealed away. In this massive chamber, over a hundred meters in length, the Heavy Gustav occupied more than half the space.

Sebastian watched with interest. Without metals like Starfall Iron and Vibranium, creating a weapon like the Heavy Gustav would have been difficult. To achieve its high accuracy, a complex internal design had been implemented, resulting in its massive size. It was a true Steel Giant.

Mounted atop the Heavy Gustav was an enormous scope, primed for targeting. Instead of saying it was a Siege Artillery, it would have been better to say that it was an upscale version of the Sniper Rifle.

But it could not be used as many times as a Sniper Rifle, every time they used it, it could only fire up to 10 Shells and then it took a while for it to cool down. Otherwise, the stability of the Artillery would be affected.

The Shells were also specially made. The Shell was huge, containing over a ton of gunpowder. It was also mixed with a special alloy made of Starfall Iron and Vibranium. Even with the financial power of the Astra Militarum, it was still a bit overwhelming.

Cross once joked that with a single shot of the cannon, a house in the capital could be built.

The last time it was launched was by Elizabeth herself. This time, after coming to the front of the Heavy Gustav, Elizabeth started the second procedure.

Deep in the Royal Tombs Mountains, under the cover of the surrounding dense woods, an inconspicuous opening was opened and it revealed a muzzle.

"Here it comes-!" The people on the city wall had been staring, so immediately, it was noticed.

"Everyone get ready and lay down with shields overhead." Cross immediately ordered.

The power of the Heavy Gustav was no joke. In the previous test, just because its power was underestimated, a Guardsman was injured by the shockwave.

At this time, the Fire Giants at the front had stepped through the narrow passages on both sides and they were entering the 400-meter mark.

A body size of more than 10 meters plus the fire that covered the whole body gave off phenomenal pressure, A trace of scorching heat was in the air, and even the group on the walls felt a tinge of suffocation.

The natural sense of crisis caused the 2 Fire Giants to stop them in their tracks, followed by them raising their heads. They glanced around in a circle but nothing special was found, so they kept moving forward.

The location of the Heavy Gustav was 5 kilometers away, and the range of the Cannon far exceeded this value. Immediately after that, a terror-steeped blast occurred. Elizabeth unleashed the Heavy Gustav and fired the first super-sized Shell.

Even at the speed of just leaving the cannon, it easily exceeded 1,000 meters per second, it was faster than a Sniper Rifle. The Shell continued to accelerate through the air and it was getting faster and faster.

After crossing 3 kilometers, it had reached an astonishing speed, even the crowd on the walls kept staring with binoculars at this time, it was already a bit hard to see. They only saw a phantom passing through the air at high speed going straight to the enemy on the opposite side.

The target was the Fire Giant behind the big pothole because the one in the front was too close to the wall! Once it hit, it was no joke. The wall was bound to be affected by the shockwave.

At this time, the natural alertness of the Fire Giant plus the super senses, allowed them to be the first to detect the unidentified object flying in the air. Immediately, there was a sense of crisis in their mind. It was an unprecedentedly deadly feeling, so each one of them immediately roared.

A few Fire Giants in the front who were about to rush to the walls also stopped immediately and looked up at the sky. They stared at the shadow that flew over like a meteorite in a daze.

After seeing that the situation was not good, a sense of impending doom appeared. Neither did it care about their dignity; they hastily tried to retreat and dodge.

But at this time, the speed of the Shell had already reached an astonishing level that it couldn't be seen with the naked eye. When the Fire Giant just turned around and was about to move...

WHOOSH-!

That shadow had already rushed over, landing on a Fire Giant.

Followed by...

BOOM-!

An earth-shattering bang sounded.

With alarming fluctuations, it swept away from the center of the explosion toward all directions. All the nearby dirt, rocks, vegetation, etc., went up in smoke.

That dreadful fluctuation, even the flames on the Fire Giant were engulfed. Everything was moving up in the sky with dust, enclosing the surrounding area within one kilometer. Countless smoke and dust floated into the sky making it hard to see what was going on. The earth was shaking, it was as if a meteorite had fallen to the ground.

RUMBLE-!

The ground collapsed violently.

After the smoke slowly dissipated, the people on the wall were the first ones who saw that an unbelievably large hole had appeared in the place where that Shell landed. In the hole, the Fire Giant that was hit had now turned into countless pieces and it was splashed all around.

But this was the Fire Giant, it was born with a strong body. If it was replaced by Elves, it was estimated that even the residual limbs would not be left. It was not just this Fire Giant, several companions were standing nearby.

Elizabeth aimed at this Fire Giant after it had been carefully observed. Under the fearsome power, the nearby Fire Giants were not spared either.

Before that, the fire that made the Astra Militarum helpless was annihilated in an instant and their huge bodies were blown apart. It was not as miserable as the central Fire Giant, but they were also divided into dozens of pieces! The hole was filled with the strong smell of roasted meat.

"It worked!" Seeing this scene, on the city walls, everyone couldn't help shouting with a flurry of excitement.
