Whoosh!
The ring appeared to rotate slowly, but in reality, it arrived in an instant. Any close-range defensive ammunition that tried to intercept it merely caused a brief tremor, as if it wasn't a material object of this world but a mere phantom.
The artificial intelligence of the autonomous soldiers immediately connected to the network and began rapid calculations:
"Unable to detect energy response, but possesses attack characteristics—Command: Scatter outwards."
The autonomous soldiers quickly and methodically began to scatter, ensuring no citizen was touched by the ring.
The ring floated down towards the vacant ground left by the autonomous soldiers. In the next moment, the space in the middle vanished out of thin air, and all the autonomous soldiers were instantly compressed and collided together.
