Photon pulse wave was a real plasma weapon. This was completely different from Earth’s supposed laser weapons that could only singe metallic surfaces and cut through thin, metallic layers. This photon pulse wave was a type of high energy pulse wave that could directly undo the material’s atomic structure. Therefore, the target hit would disperse like dust, no matter whether it was metal, stone, liquid, or… a life form!
This was a weapon available to level 3 space civilizations in their middle stage. Photo pulse wave was the smallest weapon among all the plasmatic weapons, and as long as the target didn’t have energy shields, normal electromagnetic shields were no longer powerful enough to defend against such a weapon, so the target was confirmed dead! This was why level 3 space civilizations had such drastic advantages over pre-level 3 space civilizations. In terms of combat, it was a one-sided slaughter!
