After all, those regular asteroids are what normal asteroids should be, while Vesta is an asteroid formed by the degradation of a regular planet after its destruction, so the two are naturally completely incomparable.

To put it more bluntly, Vesta's status, in some sense, is a case of a skinny camel being bigger than a horse, since it was once prosperous, even though its crust is gone, it is far superior to regular asteroids.

As for why Zhang Yanhang suddenly brought up these ordinary asteroids, it is because the fragments and debris from Vesta's destruction are rapidly tearing apart nearby asteroids and meteoroid belts.

These asteroids, averaging only tens of kilometers in size, naturally have no ability to resist these 'man-made meteorites,' as they are filled with immense kinetic energy caused by Zhang Yanhang, resulting in immediate fragmentation upon impact.

Furthermore, the fragmented asteroids and giant meteoroids inherit part of the kinetic energy and disperse more debris to collide with other nearby asteroids and meteoroids.

Therefore, while looking at this silent, yet perpetually moving asteroid belt, Zhang Yanhang inexplicably has the feeling of playing space pinball, but in placement mode, feeling as if doing nothing while the surrounding asteroids are almost entirely destroyed.

However, viewing this exceptionally silent space, Zhang Yanhang oddly felt a purification of his inner self, unexpectedly producing a sense of calmness.

But considering he had just blown up the largest asteroid in the Solar System, Zhang Yanhang thought this might be what is described as 'silent explosion,' used to describe the feeling of tranquility and harmony following the explosive demise of a planet amidst the silence.

Of course, Zhang Yanhang was mainly testing his attack speed, so he didn't forget to observe his actual attack speed. After this round of testing, Zhang Yanhang discovered his current attack speed is roughly at Mach 350.

"Previously, my attack speed generally maintained a normal ratio of double the movement speed, but now the attack speed has reached 2.4 times the movement speed…"

Regarding this situation, Zhang Yanhang could only say that the attack speed bonus he recently obtained is considerably significant, as the main attribute reward alone accounted for 140%, and Eight Arms and Eight Feet contributed 240%—totaling a 380% attack speed bonus.

However, the movement speed didn't keep up. Since his promotion to the Fifth Tier, he's relied solely on Flying Sand and Rolling Stones for gaining a 120% movement speed bonus, along with the 33% movement speed boost provided by Swift Leggings. Even adding all together, it's just 153% movement speed, indeed falling short compared to the attack speed.

Hence, the current disparity is relatively normal, but Zhang Yanhang speculates that as long as he continues to improve his movement speed bonus, the ratio should gradually start to narrow again. However, returning to normal status is still somewhat challenging, given the excessive attack speed bonus from Eight Arms and Eight Feet.

"More importantly, this 350 Mach is just the basic attack speed; with the simple blessing of Spiritual Energy, it can immediately rise to an attack speed of 700 Mach."

Therefore, theoretically, Zhang Yanhang was using 700 Mach combined with over a million tons of strength to destroy Vesta.

Zhang Yanhang skillfully took out his mobile phone and started using the kinetic energy formula to calculate the kinetic energy composition of the previous punch. As for why he can use a phone in space, firstly, the Energy Shield protects against damage, and secondly, calculators don't require internet.

After performing calculations, Zhang Yanhang found that the punch could produce at least 33,768,011,170,272,625,000,000 J, equivalent to 33,768,011,170 tera (trillion) joules, which translates to 337,680 Jing (ten trillion) joules.

A ton of TNT explosions generates energy of 41.84 billion joules. Hence, upon recalculation, that punch implied 8,070,745,697,890 tons of TNT kinetic energy, or 8,070,745,697.89 million tons of TNT.

"A Tsar Bomb only equates to 50 million tons of TNT yield, my punch just now equaled an accumulation of 16,141 Tsar Bombs, and this kind of strength is truly needed to destroy an asteroid in one strike."

Of course, asteroids can definitely be shattered using far fewer nuclear bombs if calculated precisely and punctually detonated for targeted blast effects; however, as Zhang Yanhang insists on strong-arm destruction, fully exploding an asteroid requires formidable kinetic energy.

After calculating the kinetic energy, Zhang Yanhang further computes the damage radius attributed to this kinetic energy; the final result is 648 kilometers.

"Evidently, I somewhat underestimated myself previously; unexpectedly, the damage radius alone reached 648 kilometers, indicating a diameter of 1,296 kilometers. Consequently, not merely striking a third of Pluto in one punch, I could even demolish half of Pluto with a single punch."

Zhang Yanhang initially doubted whether he had hope of shattering Pluto within the confines of Fifth Tier, but in hindsight, it seems wholly plausible, even without employing his optimal Dharma Body State and Eight Arms and Eight Feet attack speed bonus.

Moreover, this merely accounts for the isolated calculation of strength and speed-induced kinetic energy; integrating additional bonuses ensures his destruction radius is unquestionably greater.

Even solely calculating basic kinetic energy, he can now essentially decimate approximately 1.32 million square kilometers in one punch; Zhang Yanhang believes this accounts for a genuine Country Destroying Level Awakener, which means obliterating a nation with a single strike.

Speaking purely in terms of area, for countries ranking nineteenth and beyond, Zhang Yanhang truly could smash one with each punch.

For instance, sizable nations like South Africa, encompassing 1.22 million square kilometers, Ethiopia with 1.1 million square kilometers, and Egypt with 1 million square kilometers, now can all be obliterated with one punch.

Unfortunately, this attack method isn't quite feasible for ordinary use, notably after drawing lessons from his prior destruction of Greenland.

Excluding Permanent Teleportation Channels, employing such amplified star-breaking attack methods for regular monster clearing will mostly yield one outcome, that being total obliteration of monster remains that assimilate into the ground, thus impeding the acquisition of Wise Man's Stone.

Additionally, treasure boxes necessitate manual extraction from depths of at least tens of kilometers underground, which sounds distressing. In summary, it's 'skeletons riches forfeited.'

Nevertheless, as these are merely predictions, Zhang Yanhang intends to test the specific impact within new regions before making further plans, as true knowledge comes from practice, preventing mere theoretical discourse without hands-on experimentation, which reveals the actual circumstances.

"On the topic, now with the Domineering body effect, meteorite fall attacks can often be utilized."

Zhang Yanhang previously sustained instant shield breaks when impacting Greenland; without the Resentment Puppet designated, he would've perished on-site. Thus, apprehensive thereafter, he refrained from using this attack strategy.

But now it's different. With a domineering body, can't I create as I wish? Create whoever I want?

Okay, Earth might not be able to withstand much more creation. If it gets recreated once more, it might really disappear before the monsters in the Ashen World destroy humanity. Zhang Yanhang might annihilate humanity himself first.

"Perhaps I could try meteorite fall in the Ashen World later. After all, the Ashen World isn't afraid of creation."

Zhang Yanhang felt that if the environment in the next new area is suitable, he would definitely create on the spot, as he now has a bit of an addiction to creation and always wants to create something.

"Never mind, since the attack speed test is complete, it's better to return to Earth first. Staying here isn't much fun."

After settling the matters, Zhang Yanhang naturally didn't want to waste time and immediately started heading back using the Teleportation Technique.

However, while teleporting, he was pondering one thing: Is there a chance of triggering a special encounter in this kind of space environment? If so, what would he gain? After all, space environments obviously lack stuff like Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Moreover, Zhang Yanhang could clearly feel that the spiritual energy in space was relatively thin, far less abundant than on Earth.

In contrast, space is filled with various high-energy rays, so in a way, it counts as energy-rich. But unfortunately, he cultivates the Limitless Universe Skill, not the Chaos Devouring Technique, so he can only absorb spiritual energy, not these miscellaneous energies.

Of course, the Heaven and Earth Devourer can definitely absorb them, but it's busy absorbing the Subordinate Sage Stone and has no time for these things.

"Speaking of which, I haven't triggered any special encounters since I came back this time. I wonder when I'll trigger one. In the afternoon? Or in the evening?"

Considering that Zhang Yanhang can trigger several special encounters a day, he reckons that he should trigger the first one by the afternoon at the latest. He is quite looking forward to a Fifth Tier special encounter.

......

November 2, Monday, the first day after Halloween, and also the first day Zhang Yanhang left the Ashen World, at 10:14 a.m., Earth, Qin Island City, Xingfuli District, unit 505, bedroom.

After another round of over twenty minutes of near-light speed teleportation, Zhang Yanhang finally returned to his old home on Earth and lay back on his familiar big bed in the bedroom.

But as soon as he got back, Zhang Yanhang discovered that his phone had inexplicably received a text message. Zhang Yanhang opened it and found it was an official public welfare message from Qin Island City, which contained ordinary weather-related reminders to dress warmly.

However, Zhang Yanhang noticed that the public welfare message was labeled with [Qin Island City Public Welfare Image Ambassador Zhao Yalan] at the beginning, and at the end of the message was a photo of Zhao Yalan.

"Goodness, can public welfare messages actually send MMS? No, the key point should be when did Zhao Yalan become the Public Welfare Image Ambassador of Qin Island City? Didn't I just recommend her to the relevant departments yesterday? Did she end up in the wrong department?

But, this mass text messaging technique is quite impressive. How much power of faith is this wave going to harvest?"

Compared to why Zhao Yalan inexplicably became the Public Welfare Image Ambassador of Qin Island City, Zhang Yanhang was more concerned about her growth speed in power.

"With Zhao Yalan's Gathering Power Talent, as long as others see her name, she can forcibly harvest a share of faith power, and seeing the photo or statue can allow her to forcibly harvest another share. So, theoretically, this mass MMS could harvest two shares of faith power.

And with over twenty million people in Qin Island City, if this public welfare message is forcibly received citywide and everyone views it, wouldn't that mean harvesting forty million faith power with just one public welfare message?!"

Zhang Yanhang did a quick calculation and was stunned on the spot. Harvesting faith power is way too easy this way, isn't it? Wouldn't that mean Zhao Yalan's power would shoot up like a rocket?

Of course, public welfare messages are less likely to be read, but even if one out of ten people reads it, it's still worthwhile.

Plus, text messages display quickly, so even if not opened, as long as they are received, they will appear on the phone's interface or in the swipe-up menu, unless someone has disabled message notifications. But such cases should be in the minority, and Zhao Yalan's name is the first thing on the message, which makes it unavoidable.

Thus, Zhang Yanhang reckons that although the faith power harvested by this message is unlikely to reach forty million, it could still be around ten million.

"The Gathering Power Talent, which only requires finding the right method to harvest faith power to enhance, is indeed powerful. You could level up just by lying down after sending public welfare messages daily."

Moreover, Zhao Yalan is currently only sending public welfare messages for Qin Island City. Zhang Yanhang thinks that if her power continues to increase, she might oversee the public welfare image ambassador role in surrounding major provinces and cities, leading to multiple provinces sending public welfare messages simultaneously, causing her power growth speed to spike further.

Importantly, sending public welfare messages incurs no cost, especially compared to power growth.

"However, despite the benefits of sending public welfare messages, it can't reach those who don't use phones much, such as children and the elderly. But either way, even the middle-aged and young adults are enough for Zhao Yalan to harvest."

At least compared to sending short videos in the past, Zhang Yanhang feels that Zhao Yalan is definitely better off now, and has finally found the right path.

However, the downside of public welfare messages is that if sent too frequently, they can become annoying to people, unlike short videos that people can continuously watch and create higher-level believers. This is indeed a drawback, but overall, the benefits definitely outweigh the drawbacks.
