Outside Pluto, a mothership hovered in space. From its side, a kilometer-long cannon extended, pointing ominously towards Neptune.
"Fire!"
With Moro's command, the fully charged third-generation star-destroying cannon unleashed its fury.
On the big screen, two countdowns were displayed. One showed a time of five days, while the other was a mere six minutes.
The five-day countdown indicated the time it would take for the star-destroying cannon to hit Neptune. The six-minute countdown marked the launch time of another planet-destroying weapon.
The six minutes passed in a flash, and dozens more cannon barrels emerged from the mothership, firing straight at Pluto.
Each was a laser beam as thick as a bowl. Dozens of them fired together, creating a hollow circle.
In an instant, a hundred-meter-deep channel was melted into Pluto's ice layer.
After the channel appeared, the lasers didn't stop. They continued outputting, deepening the channel.
..
"What are they doing?!"
