Chapter 231: The Triple-Barreled Magic Main Cannon Makes Its Appearance

Due to his nature, even if Hungry Ghost Shara were slightly smarter and knew to inquire about Kamiyu’s weaknesses or whether she was hiding something, it wouldn’t change much.

Surrounded by a bunch of flattering sycophants, even the wisest person could make erroneous judgments.

“A half-second Skill has virtually no impact on us. With so many humans willing to sacrifice themselves, Fruit Ability Users are endless. Even if Kamiyu can blast half of the Fruit Ability Users to death with one cannon shot, we still have the other half. With 150,000 Fruit Ability Users, we can crush them and kill all the Players within five minutes,” Hungry Ghost Shara declared, gazing at the army of 300,000 before him and the even larger crowd of humans waiting in line to be devoured by the Fear Emperor Tree.

Fly-Head flattered, “Lord Shara is right. Humans are lining up to die, and Fruit Ability Users are continuously being produced. Even if all 300,000 troops are wiped out, we’ll have another batch of 300,000.”

Hearing this, Men San quickly lowered his head further, covering his mouth, inwardly rejoicing: “This idiot! If all 300,000 Fruit Ability Users are annihilated, can this bastard Hungry Ghost Shara escape unscathed?

Even if he could escape unscathed, would His Majesty Fear Emperor spare Hungry Ghost Shara? Hahaha, this fool really knows how to flatter the wrong way.”

The Crab-Eyed Ability User felt this statement made sense, yet also didn’t quite make sense.

“How dare you! My Fruit Ability Users will slaughter all the Players and crush this Bopomo Kingdom. I will be the ruler of this Kingdom,” Hungry Ghost Shara angrily exposed his ambition.

With a “thud,” Fly-Head hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly to Hungry Ghost Shara to beg for forgiveness.

“I was wrong, forgive me, Lord Shara.” Fly-Head kowtowed until its head split open, oozing dark green blood.

“You’ve defiled the sacred ground of the Divine Tree,” Hungry Ghost Shara said disdainfully.

With a “splat,” the Fly-Headed Ability User was smashed to pieces, turning into a puddle of black-green sludge. The splattered blood plasma splashed onto Men San and Crab-Eye.

“What happened? Was it an enemy attack? Impossible, this is the sacred ground of the Divine Tree; enemies couldn’t possibly breach it,” Crab-Eye panicked, looking around frantically.

Men San remained silent, inwardly criticizing: “What a hypocritical and petty Hungry Ghost Shara. You said Fly-Head defiled the sacred ground of the Divine Tree by bleeding from kowtowing, yet you used your tentacle hand to slap Fly-Head to death, making the sacred ground even filthier.

And this Crab-Eye is truly a fool, still not understanding the situation.”

A tentacle hand slowly materialized, transitioning from a transparent Invisibility State to a pitch-black color, gradually rising and returning to Hungry Ghost Shara’s side.

“Ah? It was Lord Shara.” Only then did Crab-Eye realize that Hungry Ghost Shara had killed his companion. Following Men San’s lead, he nervously knelt on the ground.

“Clean this up. I need to make final preparations for the departure of the 300,000-strong army,” Hungry Ghost Shara said coldly, as if nothing had happened.

“Yes.” *2.

Compared to the bloody rule of the Fear Emperor Tree, where allies were often killed at the slightest provocation, everyone in the Sanctuary united closely around Kamiyu to survive, striving to fulfill their duties and responsibilities with all their might: high-level players with combat talents fought desperately to kill Aberrant Beast Demons, refusing to leave the frontline even with minor injuries; low-level players with support talents joined the support, construction, and transport teams, working together to progress and level up.

The Bug research team of the Student Legion developed a triple-barreled main cannon similar to those on battleships, and most importantly, it was mobile. They installed a turntable beneath the triple-barreled magic main cannon, greatly expanding its firing arc. Except for being unable to turn and fire at their own Sanctuary, its nearly 180-degree firing arc could cover almost the entire frontal battlefield.

Such an exaggerated and strategically important weapon was naturally placed by Kamiyu on the highest point—the third wall closest to the Core Zone.

At everyone’s strong suggestion—though in truth, they just wanted to play with the big guns—Kamiyu also constructed these triple-barreled magic main cannons on the front sides of the first and second walls.

Not only that, Kamiyu further enhanced the triple-barreled magic main cannons. They had already been enhanced once before, and now, because an item before a Bug Exploit was considered a different item after the exploit, they could be enhanced again.

Kamiyu shook her head with a smile: “Is this even fair?”

She glanced at the enhancement effects:

【Magic Cannon → Triple-Barreled Magic Main Cannon】

【Level: Torment Tier, equivalent to Crimson Earth players, Aberrant Beasts, and Demons at levels 41–50】

【Firing Mode: Artillery Shell Mode:

Rate of Fire: 1 shell every 5 seconds;

Range: 500 kilometers;

Cooldown Time: None】

【Firing Mode: Positron Annihilation Cannon Mode: Fires energy beams;

Duration: 60 seconds;

Cooldown Time: 300 seconds】

【Operator Permission: Invincible Guild members】

Kamiyu said, “Enhancing this fortress-class main cannon only requires 300 Enhancement Points—just three rounds of the highest difficulty. For three fortress main cannons, that’s a total of 900 Enhancement Points. Enhance, we must enhance.”

Kamiyu declared confidently, “With these triple-barreled magic main cannons, not even hundreds of thousands of Fruit Ability User troops will stand a chance—we could even blast through the main trunk of the Fear Emperor Tree.”

After a series of operations, the triple-barreled magic main cannons glowed with a faint blue light, undergoing a remarkable transformation. Their odd, handcrafted appearance shifted into a unified main cannon design, complete with frontal armor and a stable connection to the floor’s rotating mechanism, looking exactly like the main guns of a battleship.

But having cannons without shells was pointless.

The veteran soldiers of the Invincible Guild devised a faster method for transporting materials: mimicking ancient relay stations, they built stations along the route back to the Sanctuary, allowing materials to be transported continuously and swiftly, station by station, without waiting for backpacks to fill up completely. This greatly accelerated the Sanctuary’s construction speed.

Dunzi and Ji Yue pushed themselves to the limit, lifting the entire foundation of the Sanctuary upward from underground, raising its elevation. Other Earth Element Ability Users worked in tandem with Dunzi, performing what could be described as “moving mountains and filling seas,” forcibly digging a moat on the side facing the Fear Emperor Tree to prevent the enemy from overwhelming the Sanctuary with sheer numbers. The result was a simplified version of the Cliff Sanctuary.

While crafting Magic Cannons, Kamiyu observed the completely transformed Sanctuary and its surroundings, remarking with emotion, “Now, with favorable timing, geographical advantage, and human unity, we hold the geographical advantage and human unity.”

“With these thousands of Magic Cannons and hundreds of thousands of Magic Artillery Shells, we have nothing to fear—absolutely nothing to fear,” Kamiyu exclaimed excitedly, clenching her fist.
