Chapter 1706: Betrayal!
A massive gray-black mushroom cloud rose once again into the air within this subspace.
This marked the third time such a cloud had appeared in the Eiyurant Papillon Civilization’s secret realm in recent times.
The first had occurred when Sein wounded Fermera, the second when the Gallant Federation unleashed its apocalyptical weapon, and the third was this very moment.
The fact that the Gallant Federation had not deployed its apocalyptical weapon again since that last launch made it clear that weapons of this caliber were not something that could be used at will.
The long interval between attacks was a fundamental weakness of such weapons.
The Gallant Federation’s strategy of equipping Rank Six warships with apocalyptical weapons could be summed up in a single phrase—a small boat carrying a big cannon.
To use apocalyptical weapons as conventional arms required an exceptionally strict and difficult-to-produce specialized energy core system, along with demanding performance requirements for the carrier vessels.
Only overlord-class warfleets possessed the capability to make such strikes routine.
Just as the Magus Civilization had only a handful of overlord-class beings, the Gallant Federation’s overlord-class warfleets were equally rare.
Even among top-tier civilizations, overlord-level existences were far from plentiful.
The mushroom cloud was accompanied by a tidal wave of violent energy that swept outward in all directions.
At this stage of the subspace war, both sides fielded numerous Rank Six combatants. In truth, attacks with destructive power on par with the super bomb had already been unleashed many times by both sides.
