Chapter 2518: Cataclysm-Class Battleship
The Carnell Family is considered one of the top forces in the Cost Star System.
Across the entire Cost Star System, only two other families can be compared to it...
Currently, at the top floor of the Sky-high Commercial Technology Building under the Carnell Family’s command, the head of the Carnell Family, the Clan Chief ’Dar’, is watching with a bloodshot gaze as a young man is killed in the projection ahead.
The young man being killed is named ’Nok’, and he is Dar’s only son!
Throughout his life, although he has had over ten children, this is his only son who can inherit the family business; the rest are daughters.
And now, his only son is dead!
Dead at the hands of a female cultivator.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
...
Soon, a series of piercing alarm sounds ring out from the high-tech watches on the wrists of all significant Carnell Family members scattered across various locations, causing them to turn pale.
"What happened?"
"The Clan Chief urgently summoned us back, something must have gone wrong!"
"Go!"
"Let’s go back!"
...
At the Carnell Family’s residence, a modern and technologically advanced grand manor, all key figures and executives of the Carnell Family gathered together.
It’s worth mentioning that the personnel movement of the Carnell Family to some extent also alarmed its two longstanding rivals, the other two powerful families in the Cost Star System.
These two families also convened numerous executives for meetings.
"Did you find out what happened with the Carnell Family?"
"Could it be possible that the Carnell Family is planning something against us, deliberately using an incident as a guise to deceive us?"
"Very likely. After all, spreading ’false information’ is not something new for the Carnell Family."
...
Within the other two families, once numerous executives gathered, they couldn’t help but engage in heated discussions.
While these two great families felt apprehensive because all key figures and executives of the Carnell Family gathered together.
The Carnell Family, within the massive tech-laden modern conference room.
Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the immense projection at the end of the conference room...
"It’s Nok!"
Soon, three figures appeared in the projection, one of whom all Carnell Family members present recognized as the Junior Lord of their Carnell Family, the Clan Chief’s son.
The subsequent scene made their faces turn grim.
A male cultivator first blew up the mechs controlled by the two companions beside the Junior Lord of their Carnell Family, killing both.
Then, a female cultivator killed the Junior Lord of their Carnell Family!
"Provocation, provocation... this is blatant provocation!"
"How many years has it been... the great Carnell Family hasn’t suffered such provocation for years!"
"In the long history, anyone or any force that dared to challenge the Carnell Family’s limits never met a good end... They will be no exception!"
...
The whole conference room erupted in a frenzy, the upper echelons of the Carnell Family were furious, eager to kill and dismember those two cultivators from the projection!
Nok’s death, truth be told, didn’t matter to many.
Some even felt relieved because with Nok’s death, their descendants would have the chance to become the next head of the Carnell Family.
Yet, Nok’s death brought shame to the Carnell Family, which still made them extremely angry.
"Quiet!"
Finally, it was the Clan Chief ’Dar’ of the Carnell Family who spoke loudly, causing everyone in the conference room to quiet down.
Once everyone quieted down, he continued, "This time, I have summoned you mainly to deal with these two cultivators... They killed my son, bringing shame to the Carnell Family, and only by shedding their blood can we wash away the disgrace of the Carnell Family!"
"Now, judging from the projection, their cultivation is at least above the ’Fifth Transformation of the Saint Immortal’, perhaps even stronger!"
"So, I have gathered everyone to discuss... what kind of weapon should be deployed to kill them!"
Dar said.
"I suggest using the ’Catastrophe-level Battleship’!"
Soon, an elder with a white beard spoke deeply.
"Catastrophe-level Battleship?!"
Upon hearing the elder’s words, many in the conference room couldn’t help but gasp.
"Grand Elder... Is it necessary? Although these two cultivators are at least at the Fifth Transformation of the Saint Immortal, judging from their displayed strength, they probably aren’t yet at the ’Seventh Transformation of the Saint Immortal’. Deploying our family’s mightiest battleship seems a bit unnecessary for just the two of them, doesn’t it?"
A middle-aged man was the first to speak to the white-bearded elder.
Many others nodded in agreement.
In their view:
Their family’s ’heavenly disaster-class battleship’ is capable of killing even the scattered immortals among the practitioners.
Deploying it for two cultivators who aren’t even at the ’Seventh Transformation of a Saint Immortal’ seemed to be a bit of an overkill.
"Grand Elder, is this necessary?"
Right now, even ’Dar’, the Clan Chief of the Carnell Family, was startled by the white-bearded elder’s words.
"It’s necessary!"
The white-bearded elder continued in a deep voice: "It’s been years since anyone dared to provoke our Carnell Family like this... This time someone dared to come to our doorstep and challenge us, we must strike back with full force! Also, let’s show everyone in the Kosert star system..."
"Our Carnell Family may have been dormant for years, but it’s only a temporary slumber... Once we awaken, we are an unstoppable force!"
The white-bearded elder’s words were clear:
The deployment of the ’heavenly disaster-class battleship’ is not just to kill those two practitioners but also to establish dominance!
"I agree with the Grand Elder’s suggestion!"
Soon, someone echoed the white-bearded elder, the Carnell Family’s Grand Elder’s words.
"Indeed, our Carnell Family has been dormant for years... It’s time to showcase our heroic power! So, I second the motion!"
"Second!"
"Second!"
...
Moments later, in the entire conference room, except for the Carnell Family’s Clan Chief ’Dar’, everyone expressed their support for the Grand Elder’s approach.
"Since everyone agrees..."
Faced with everyone’s gaze, Dar orders in a deep voice: "Then, our Carnell Family will deploy the ’heavenly disaster-class battleship’ to intercept and kill those two practitioners!"
"Now, department heads listen to my orders: The satellite intelligence department, immediately locate those two practitioners; The news department, immediately announce to the entire Kosert star system that our Carnell Family is about to deploy the heavenly disaster-class battleship for revenge, to wash away the family’s shame!"
"Additionally, you are to prepare to project the entire process before and after killing those two practitioners to every corner of the Kosert star system... Let everyone in the Kosert star system see: those who provoke our Carnell Family will have no good outcome!"
As soon as Dar issued the orders, several heads of the satellite intelligence department and the news department of the Carnell Family left to make arrangements.
"Grand Elder!"
Immediately, Dar looked at the white-bearded elder, "Now, you and I will go to the preparation department together to authorize the deployment of the ’heavenly disaster-class battleship’, to slay those two practitioners, avenge my son, and establish the prestige of our Carnell Family!"
Throughout, Dar’s eyes were red.
After all, it was his son who died, and it was his only son!
With the series of moves by the Carnell Family, not only the entire Kosert star system’s mother star ’Satterly Star’ was shaken, but all the planets within the Kosert star system trembled:
"Someone actually killed the Carnell Family’s Junior Lord?"
"And it was two practitioners? Are they courting death? This is our territory, not theirs!"
"I heard that the Carnell Family is even planning to deploy the ’heavenly disaster-class battleship’ to kill those two practitioners!"
"Heavenly disaster-class battleship? Damn! That’s the strongest weapon in our Kosert star system... Only the three major families, including the Carnell Family, possess it. The three major families have stood atop the Kosert star system precisely because of the heavenly disaster-class warship!"
"Deploying the heavenly disaster-class battleship... Are those two practitioners ’scattered immortals’?"
...
Similar talk spread across every planet within the Kosert star system.
Everyone knew:
The Carnell Family was completely enraged!
Satterly Star.
In this mother star of the Kosert star system, the other two families on par with the Carnell Family also confirmed:
The series of unusual moves by the Carnell Family were not aimed at them.
"The Junior Lord of the Carnell Family ’Nok’, killed by two practitioners? Haha... That’s really good news! That old bastard Dar is probably furious right now?"
"However, the strength of those two practitioners seems unusual... Otherwise, the Carnell Family wouldn’t claim to deploy the ’heavenly disaster-class battleship’!"
"Fifteen minutes from now, the Carnell Family will broadcast live to the whole star system as they intercept and kill those two practitioners... It’s really something to look forward to. I haven’t seen the majesty of the heavenly disaster-class battleship in many years!"
"The heavenly disaster-class battleship... That’s the cornerstone of survival for our three major families. It’s thanks to the heavenly disaster-class battleship that our three major families can stand atop the biology chain of the Kosert star system!"
...
Amidst the discussions by people from the other two families on par with the Carnell Family in the Kosert star system, fifteen minutes passed silently.
Projections began to appear in every corner of all planets in the Kosert star system.
"Is it them?"
In the projection, the silhouettes of a man and a woman appeared in the eyes of everyone in the Kosert star system.
