Harry Potter: BE a GOD

"My essence is a Horcrux, left on Earth. Even if I die, I can be resurrected through the Horcrux," Lucas said.

Of course, having an automated program is not as safe as direct control by a wizard.

However, Murphy shook his head. "The super-distance connection between the Horcrux and the physical body might also have distance limitations. Moreover, there's no evidence to suggest that such a connection is faster than light. Perhaps, if your body is far enough away, you'd still experience a delay."

"But it's also possible that there won't be a delay," Lucas said.

"We're not at that point yet," Murphy said. "There's no need to consider a self-sacrifice strategy right now."

The decision was made. With prior lunar mission experience, there were no significant issues with the rocket and nuclear bomb loading. However, developing an illusion and transposition device capable of instantaneously moving a rocket weighing thousands of tons had some challenges. Still, with the help of time accelerators, everything was completed within a month.

Murphy equipped the rocket with a powerful computing core, whose hardware was a mini-supercomputer made of hundreds of brain-like chips. The software was a large model super AI, with a portrait soul at its core, capable of intelligence in any aspect, not inferior to any human.

The rocket's body was based on the "Energy" super heavy-lift rocket, modified to carry ten 150-megaton hydrogen bombs through the Traceless Expansion Charm. They didn't use shrinking spells because past experiments showed that such spells might cause nuclear bombs to unintentionally reach critical conditions and detonate on their own, and the detonator of a hydrogen bomb is a nuclear bomb.

The fully loaded "Energy," weighing three thousand tons, was still capable of performing up to five super-distance instant transpositions under the control of the super AI, thanks to the Traceless Expansion Charm significantly reducing the fuel mass. Although each transposition could not exceed twenty kilometers due to the rocket's immense weight, combined with the rocket's own flight speed of tens of Mach, it was nearly unstoppable.

In Murphy's simulations, even with a dozen more lasers than those encountered in the last lunar mission, it would be hard to prevent it from exploding on the lunar surface, with a success rate over 95%.

Such a rocket could no longer be called a rocket but an interstellar missile.

Even so, Murphy still felt uneasy, so he produced three of these interstellar missiles simultaneously.

To maximize the rocket's speed and improve the hit probability, these missiles, named "Rebels," would be launched from geostationary orbit.

They would be divided into three parts and transported to the Soviet space station in geostationary orbit by separate launch vehicles, where they would be assembled by automation.

In December 1997, the launch vehicle ascended into space using a super-large "Floating Charm" device, then escaped the Earth's surface through distant illusionary transpositions every twenty seconds, reaching geostationary orbit. Here, after assembling the three Rebel missiles, they would ignite liquid hydrogen fuel and head towards the Moon.

Due to the minimal gravitational influence here, the missiles needed only a short acceleration to reach escape velocity and leave Earth's orbit.

Then, through distant illusionary transpositions and fuel propulsion, they would arrive at the Moon in four hours. After continuous acceleration, their speed would reach forty-six Mach, or fifteen thousand kilometers per second. Combined with up to five continuous super-distance transpositions, Murphy could hardly imagine a fixed target escaping such an attack.

When the rockets were launched, America was almost in uproar, repeatedly threatening to intercept the Soviet rockets and even using the destruction of the Soviet space station as a threat, demanding a halt to the launch.

But Murphy ignored them.

In fact, with global strike capabilities provided by magical satellites, Murphy was no longer worried about nuclear deterrence.

A week later, the three missiles were assembled at the Soviet space station and ignited towards the Moon.

After four tense hours, what Murphy feared did not happen. The gods did not intercept midway, and the three Rebel missiles smoothly reached lunar orbit, then plummeted towards the center of the far side of the Moon like lightning.

...

On the dark side of the Moon, within a deep, dark space.

Where countless statues once stood, now only an incomparably huge stone statue remained in the vast valley.

The statue, crowned with thorns and clad in a robe, had a halo like the sun radiating layer upon layer behind it. Upon closer inspection, it was composed of countless small, writhing, struggling stone statues.

At this moment, the giant statue lifted its eyes to see three stars in the distance.

"Do you still wish to struggle?" A gentle voice, like rolling thunder, echoed in the valley.

"The Death Star is upon us."

"If we continue to waste time, we will all die."

"Being devoured by you, we die just the same!" a one-eyed statue roared from the giant's chest.

"No, you will become my angels. Humanity will worship you as before, and I will continue to spread your names."

"Do you think we will believe you?"

"Let us make a covenant."

"If I do not do so, let me be trapped here forever," the giant statue said.

"Time is running out. Die together, or follow me out of this cage?"

...

As the missiles approached within a few hundred kilometers of the lunar surface, suddenly, the valley below shook, followed by a flash of light from the valley. The speed was so fast that the missile's detection methods didn't notice any anomaly; in an instant, one Rebel missile exploded in mid-air.

The super AIs in the remaining two missiles did not understand what had happened but did not prevent them from changing strategy.

They instantly dispersed through illusionary transposition, with one of them performing a second transposition, advancing ten kilometers forward, followed by a third transposition, moving another twenty kilometers forward. Indeed, another red fire line shot up from below, but the missile initiated a fourth transposition at the moment the fire lit up, leaving only fifteen kilometers to the valley.

Suddenly, more than twenty rays burst from the valley, forming a vast net.

"Boom!" The missile was cut into pieces by the net before initiating the fifth transposition.

However, this explosion also blasted all the energy rays apart.

In the next instant, the last missile immediately initiated all five transpositions, suddenly appearing above the valley.

At that moment, a light lit up in the dark space, endless like the ocean, with the missile seeing the valley less than a kilometer away, needing less than 0.1 seconds to cross.

But time seemed to freeze. The light spread out, and the missile, like a boat repelled by the sea, found its distance not shortening but lengthening instead.

The super AI immediately chose to ignite the detonator, believing the explosion's billion-ton magnitude was sufficient to destroy everything in the valley.

However, the moment the command was issued, a red spear shot out from the valley.

The spear, blood-stained and meteor-like, crossed space, piercing through the missile's core, halving the central computing unit and preventing the command from being sent.

In the next instant, the missile was hit by a beam of light, transported thousands of kilometers away, and exploded into a light ball brighter than the sun, causing no further damage to the valley.

But the spear,

 unstoppable, crossed the thirty-eight-thousand-kilometer distance in an instant, falling towards Earth.
