The Starforce Launcher is an interstellar cannon, and its control room alone spans over ten thousand square meters.

Of course, it was definitely not created to bombard the Dragon Demon Planet—that would be overkill. It was made for self-defense during cosmic navigation after the ninth-level civilization succeeds, and the entire moon escapes this Dark Star Region.

However, before it was used for self-defense during cosmic voyages, it was ironically used on the home planet, once to destroy the Misfortune Demon Capital.

Inside the command room, there were a thousand people in total, half human and half intelligent life.

And the chief commander was an eighth-level citizen, Assistant Tang Mo of the Temple Senatorial assistants.

She stood on the command platform, staring at the huge screen.

Today, she was still wearing her valiant uniform, her hair meticulously groomed. Clearly a beautiful woman, she insisted on presenting herself as a gallant man.

"Chief Commander, where should the Starforce aim?" asked a human officer.

"Dragon Demon Planet, the Flame Demon Empire’s capital, Flame Demon City!" Tang Mo ordered.

Immediately, the screen’s image began to shift, but instead of Flame Demon City, it displayed a vast and endless sea surface.

It’s okay because the Dragon Demon Planet is rotating, and so is the moon; soon, it will be able to target Flame Demon City.

Tang Mo quietly waited for the moon’s rotation and revolution, waiting for the moment when it could aim accurately.

"How much longer do we have to wait?" Tang Mo asked.

"Thirty-nine minutes, Chief Commander," said an intelligent life officer.

Tang Mo complained, "The Lunar Holy Palace should immediately approve the construction of a super universe battleship and then transfer the Starforce Launcher onto it. This way, I wouldn’t have to wait these thirty-nine minutes."

No one dared to respond to her remark.

To everyone, the Moon Sanctum Supreme Council was untouchable, like deities. They’d never reach the council in their lifetime, nor had they ventured beyond the sixth level, making it entirely mythical, increasingly mysterious, and revered.

But Tang Mo’s ancestors, generation after generation, always found themselves in the best council. She witnessed those council senators arguing every day, so complaining privately was completely fine.

At thirty-six, she’s already an assistant to a candidate council member, destined to become a candidate before forty-five and a full member by sixty.

She was meant to become a master, one of the deities in the eyes of billions.

Although ranked beyond hundreds in the Supreme Council, for the rest of the world below, she was the ruler.

That’s why being assigned to greet Lanling felt like a huge grievance; this sentiment was real, not posturing.

Recalling Lanling’s threat when leaving, Tang Mo felt both amused and disgusted, but above all, angered.

This feeling was strange, akin to the US President visiting the most backward African country undercover for PR and getting an egg hurled by a local bum. Facing the cameras, he couldn’t burst into anger, forced a generous smile, but internally seethed with rage, wishing the CIA would grab and torment the insolent commoner.

So, Tang Mo directly targeted Lanling’s most cherished city, Flame Demon City.

This city was not only the most prosperous in the Flame Demon Empire but also the home of the Flame Demon Great Hall, meticulously built by Lanling. Destroying Flame Demon City would certainly break his heart.

Thus, while maliciously concocting her disdain and resentment for Lanling, Tang Mo awaited the moon’s revolution.

Lanling was handsome and charming. But in Tang Mo’s eyes, low-level life forms were mere monkeys, no matter how handsome—unworthy of regard.

...

Meanwhile, Lanling transformed into a streak of light, racing towards the Human Kingdom and the nearest entrance to the Sky Holy Palace.

Half an hour later, Lanling reached the Sky Holy Palace entrance.

"Whoosh..."

Upon entering the energy platform, he instantly traversed into the Sky Holy Palace space.

Then, at top speed, he flew towards the Cosmic Tower.

Five minutes later, Lanling and Shi Yiyue entered the Cosmic Tower.

Activate the Cosmic Tower!

This Cosmic Tower was a masterpiece of the Lunar Holy Palace, enabling direct communication and energy transmission between the Sky Holy Palace and the Lunar Holy Palace.

Back then, the soul controlling the Dragon Emperor Puppet was transmitted via the Cosmic Tower.

In his mind, Lanling controlled countless energy points within the Demon Star, initiating energy transmission.

Immediately, the three core stars of the Demon Star Soul Core were re-energized, their erratic operations slowing and eventually halting.

The three core stars glowed brilliantly to the extreme, then a bizarre yet immensely powerful energy wave blasted out, first to the Cosmic Tower and then directly towards the moon’s surface.

"Zoom..."

The unique energy directive of the Demon Star surged towards the moon’s surface at 300,000 kilometers per second.

After just 2.5 seconds!

It reached the moon’s surface.

This energy, though immensely powerful, dispersed into a vast net over 4,000 kilometers in diameter, leaving its averaged energy minuscule.

However...

This minuscule core energy was enough to activate the core triangular star of the moon’s intelligent life soul.

... 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

In the Lunar Holy Palace’s Starforce command room.

Thirty-six minutes had passed since the previous thirty-nine-minute estimate.

The Starforce’s muzzle was about to target Flame Demon City alongside the moon’s revolution.

"How much longer?" Tang Mo impatiently asked.

A human officer glanced at his watch and said, "Three minutes, Commander."

The previous response was from an intelligent officer, but this time from a human; Tang Mo was slightly surprised but not suspicious.

As Lanling’s activation force swept over the moon’s surface, the five hundred intelligent officers in the command room visibly trembled.

Their pupils suddenly dilated.

The observing human officers were slightly puzzled, finding it odd.

But soon, those intelligent officers’ pupils returned to normal, and the human officers dismissed it as nothing.

At this moment, new figures emerged in Lanling’s mind.

Ten, twenty, a hundred, two hundred, three hundred, five hundred...

All were activated lunar intelligent life officers and soldiers.

Now, Lanling could control each one of them.

...

Inside the Starforce command room.

"Time’s up; you can aim now," a human officer said.

The image on the big screen was already closing in on Flame Demon City.

"Don’t rush, don’t rush; make sure to target the core of Flame Demon City, the Tower of Heavenly Fiends and Deities in the Flame Demon Great Hall. One shot of Starforce, and it could destroy the entire Flame Demon City," Tang Mo said. "It’s time for Lanling to know what fear is."

The moon continued its revolution!

A target crosshair appeared on the big screen.

"Starforce, commence charging!"

"Charging ten percent, twenty percent..."

"Fifty percent!"

"Ninety-nine percent!"

"One hundred percent! Starforce fully charged, ready to fire!"

The target crosshair over the Flame Demon Great Hall’s Tower of Heavenly Fiends and Deities moved closer to the center.

Ten, nine, eight... three, two, one...

The crosshair completely targeted the absolute core of Flame Demon City, the Tower of Heavenly Fiends and Deities in the Flame Demon Great Hall.

Perfect aim achieved!

Tang Mo’s eyes glowed with a mad, fiery light.

The thrill of annihilating an entire city and killing millions in one blow was addictive.

Even if it was millions of monkeys, they were still lives!

This feeling of wielding control over life, akin to a deity, was intoxicating!

"Fire, destroy Flame Demon City, and make Lanling cry!" Tang Mo commanded fiercely!

"Bang bang bang..."

Suddenly, five hundred intelligent officers raised their guns and opened fire on five hundred human officers and soldiers.

Instantly, all five hundred human soldiers fell.

Soon after, an intelligent officer drew a special weapon and aimed at Tang Mo.

"What are you doing? Rebelling?" Assistant Tang Mo of the candidate senators was nearly hysterical.

"Bang!" The intelligent officer fired.

Instantly, knocking Tang Mo to the ground.

"In the name of the Chaos Emperor, traitor Tang Mo, you are under arrest!"
