In reality, the Gus Civilization strictly prohibits intense physical attacks on the surface because of the disproportionate destructive power.
The more advanced the technology, the more powerful the device, the greater the destructive power.
A small antimatter bomb is enough to destroy an entire city, not to mention a phase bomb, and no matter how advanced the detection systems are, it’s difficult to maintain absolute security against these endless types of surprise attack weapons.
Therefore, the simplest way is to establish strict rules.
This is also why in the future seen by Shen Shi, after this attack occurred, the Gus Civilization quickly found the entire process of the attack. Even if the losses already incurred could not be recovered, they could still deal strictly with the attackers behind the scenes as a warning to others.
On this level filled with interests, it’s rare for any civilization or individual to take such actions while risking the loss of interests.
It was simply because the interests behind it were greater than the risks.
Of course, if the Human Civilization once again prevents this event, even digging out all the people behind it, it would be completely different. The interests are not gained but the loss is significant, reducing the feasibility of such things for any power.
At this moment, Lair was already being watched.
And the person watching him was none other than Shen Shi.
Yes, to reduce interference with the future line and avoid the future’s direction from going beyond his control, Shen Shi did not change anything. Even his actions and words during this time strictly followed the memories of Sage Saint Shen Shi. Until the moment the explosion was about to happen, he focused his attention on this key person.
Meanwhile, observing the future.
If the future didn’t change, he would take action.
With this in mind, Shen Shi instantly controlled Lair’s mind.
Although Lair’s Primordial Energy mastery wasn’t low, being quite ordinary among C-level Civilizations but considered a minor expert among D-level Civilizations, he obviously had no resistance against Shen Shi, a Master of Primordial Energy with B-level equipment.
A sneak attack bomb wasn’t controlled externally by signal, as that would be too easy to detect. Since it needed to be hidden, the best method was to embed predetermined emotions in the consciousness of the "human bomb" using Primordial Energy, triggering the explosion with Primordial Energy, a certain kind of Primordial Energy technology integration.
Thus, once the consciousness is fully suppressed, the bomb loses its potential to detonate.
But at this instant, Shen Shi’s expression changed.
Yes, the explosion still happened!
Without hesitation, he activated the protective measures in the entire transaction market, with a large amount of liquid metal rolling out from various parts of the city, covering the area where the explosion occurred.
There was no time to find out who the second bomb was, but the approximate location could be known, and then activate the city’s defense system.
Then in the next moment—the silent annihilation appeared.
The destruction of a phase bomb isn’t energy-based but curvature space-based. It can disrupt curvature space within a certain range in a short time, causing substantial annihilation. However, it still relies on energy to spread at the point of activation, making liquid metal useful.
Having the initiative reduced the annihilation range to the extreme.
Probably just a few thousand square meters, with about three thousand deaths.
"Immediately submit a request to the auditing department, seal off the entire area, not letting anyone through." Shen Shi half-closed his eyes, finally breathing a sigh of relief this time.
Because the future had finally changed.
Although there wasn’t enough time to see clearly, he used less than a second to quickly browse the memories of Sage Saint Shen Shi in the Number Two future line. This surprise attack was once again a significant victory for Human Civilization.
Yes, although there were still deaths, this time was a great victory.
Because the people behind this revealed more flaws.
Shen Shi did not expect there to be a Master of Primordial Energy following closely beside the second human bomb. When the first showed no problems, they would manually activate the second and then annihilate themselves, destroying most of the evidence.
Those who can become Masters of Primordial Energy are top-notch individuals in their race, as well as cultural inheritors of their race. The culture inherited in the Consciousness World alone would prevent them from choosing death lightly.
Precisely because of this, the identity of this Master of Primordial Energy became apparent.
Similar to the one in the Pillager team encountered initially within the Shu Realm.
Presumably, their race was annihilated themselves, and they forcefully converted to the original race with some technologies from the Gus Land.
This kind of technology is only available in Gus Land!
"Time and time again, this time, finally caught a flaw." Shen Shi half-closed his eyes, finally having time to observe in detail the changed Future World.
People from Gus Land with conflicts with them, who else could it be?
None other than the person behind the Pillagers.
The initial actions of Human Civilization almost forcibly took away a whole piece of fat from this person and even cut off a piece from it.
