I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 229: The End of the Cyclone Torpedo

A few hours later.

The Ash Claws Chapter completed the evacuation of important strategic materials and technical personnel.

However, more than ten warships could only evacuate hundreds of thousands of people, and billions of people were still abandoned in the world of war.

Persephone, Hecate, and Melinoe.

Several warships are quietly parked in the low-Earth orbit of the three hive planets in the Hades system.

Above each planet is a battleship, carrying forbidden anti-ground weapons.

"Launch torpedoes!"

Everything was ready, and the Ash Claws Chapter Captain Nerva gave the order in a deep voice.

At the bottom of the battleship, a [Whirlwind Torpedo] was instantly released and fell towards the surface of the planet. The three hive planets were hit by the extermination order at the same time.

The Cyclone Torpedo is a terrifying weapon developed by the Empire specifically for planetary extermination missions. It can cause devastating nuclear radiation or plasma storms, incinerating the planet's atmosphere, evaporating the ocean, and turning an entire planet into barren rock.

Killing an entire planet's life and exterminating the planet's ecosystem in a very short period of time.

Some specially made cyclone torpedoes can even penetrate the earth's crust and detonate the core, blowing the entire planet to pieces.

The history of this precious and terrifying weapon can be traced back to the Great Crusade era ten thousand years ago. The manufacturing technology has almost been lost today. It is said that only a very small number of Mechanicus Forge Worlds have mastered the preparation method of this strategic weapon.

For the Ash Claws, such weapons are of less and less value, so they will not use them unless it is absolutely necessary.

——The current situation of the Hades Galaxy Hive World meets the conditions for use.

This world is hopeless. It has inevitably fallen into the control of demons or aliens.

The humans on it have no other possibility except to become slaves, die painfully in the torture of demons, and become food and vassals of demons.

It would be better to die in the fiery storm of a whirlwind torpedo, at least you can suffer less pain.

【Feel sorry……】

The Chapter Master prayed silently in his heart, asking the being on Terra to lead the souls of his people back to the Golden Throne so that their souls could rest in peace.

Although he is no longer loyal to the Imperium, he still adheres to the Emperor's teachings and upholds his identity as the Protector of Mankind.

The Space Marines of the Ash Claw, the rookie Kratos, the great sage Clark, the angel of revenge Celia...all of them stood by the portholes of the battleship, silently watching the light spots representing the whirlwind torpedoes fall to the ground.

Many mortal warriors who had just escaped death were in tears.

I couldn't help but feel a huge sadness in my heart.

Their families are dead, their companions are dead, they are alone, and now even their home planet is dying with them.

What were they fighting so hard for?

What's the point?

Everything I wanted to protect is gone!

Mortals scream silently in their hearts and cry in despair.

Suddenly, the Chapter Master frowned.

——The light spot on the tactical sphere representing the whirlwind torpedo suddenly disappeared.

[Report, torpedo signal lost! ]

Surprising reports came in that not only Persephone, but also the torpedoes that were halfway through the attack on the other two planets suddenly lost contact almost at the same time.

But the expected big explosion did not happen.

"What happened?"

The commanders of the Ember Claws began to feel confused and uneasy.

The Chapter Master looked serious, thought for a moment, and gave a cold order: "Order all ships to launch an orbital strike on the ground and eliminate all living things!"

Faced with unknown changes, the commander issued new combat orders without hesitation.

【I want to see what's going on! 】

【Humph! 】

The commander believed that he could force out the mysterious "enemy" in this way.

Maybe the hidden Necrons were responsible...

"Macro cannon is ready!"

"Light spear is ready!"

"emission!"

The rain of light and beams of light of death fell from the sky again.

The Chapter Master stared at the trajectory of the shells, his eyes fixed on them. This time he finally saw clearly what happened to the Whirlwind Torpedo, and the truth shocked him greatly.

White vortices like warp gates suddenly appeared in front of the shells and beams. The shells and beams fell into them and were swallowed up instantly, as if they had fallen into another dimension.

None of the orbital bombardment artillery fire that fell from the sky could reach the surface of the planet. All of it was swallowed up by this strange white vortex.

In his ten thousand years of fighting against demons and aliens, Nerva had never seen such a bizarre defense mechanism, and he suddenly felt a huge sense of crisis.

"Everyone stop shelling and retreat immediately!"

"Begin the subspace jump immediately!"

Realizing that he had probably fallen into a huge trap, the Chapter Master gave the order to retreat without hesitation.

At this moment, I no longer have the energy to care about the Extermination Order!

However, before the warships above the three planets could move, similar white glowing vortices appeared around the human warships. The center of the vortex expanded like a portal, and giant chains composed of golden light stretched out like living things, winding around the warships.

"Subspace engine startup failed!"

"The spaceship's soul has been invaded!"

"Captain, we've been captured!"

"What the hell are these?!"

Macro cannons counterattacked, light spears fired, torpedoes bombed, but they had no effect on the white vortex and golden chain.

Amidst the wailing and screaming, the human fleet in space was pulled into a huge white vortex by golden chains and disappeared.

After the empty space was silent for a few seconds, the quietly burning golden star in the distance suddenly burst into dazzling light. The golden light containing inexplicable power penetrated the darkness of the subspace storm and instantly illuminated the entire planet.

The Warp Storm that hovered in space like an eye of terror emitted screams that could collapse the souls of mortals. It melted quickly like ice and snow thrown into a furnace, and was finally dispersed by violence.

Whirlpools composed of countless white lights appeared simultaneously on all the planets in the Hades galaxy.

It is all-encompassing, filling the planet's sky like snowflakes.

Countless golden chains like the one before flew out of the vortex, of varying thicknesses, entangled and bound all living things on each planet, no matter if they were the rampaging demons, the remaining humans, orcs hiding on the fringe planets, or Zerg, and dragged into the vortex.

Even a great demon protected by the power of the evil god had no ability to resist the golden chains and could not break free at all.

In just a few breaths, all creatures in the Hades galaxy were swept away by the golden chains and taken to an unknown place.

Afterwards, a large number of white vortices with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers appeared above the planet, releasing a large number of huge golden chains with a diameter of more than ten kilometers. Thousands of chains shuttled and crossed above the planet, and finally weaved into a grid-like golden shell, wrapping the entire planet.
