A new laser beam, this time, wider and more destructive, swept across the fleeing USR ships.
The Exterminator Beam emitted an eerie hum as it struck, creating massive explosions that consumed entire vessels in fiery plumes. Ships that attempted evasive maneuvers were incinerated mid-turn.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Where the beam passed, everything that stood in its path was torn apart, dismantled into nothingness. The beam wiped out everything, erasing its existence.
In a straight line, except for the sandy sea bed, everything else just disappeared.
The ocean floor remained untouched, but above it, only fragments remained of a few nation's pride.
Onboard one USR destroyer, a young sailor cried out, "I don't want to die! Please, someone help us!"
His plea was drowned in the deafening roar of the explosion that obliterated his ship.
