Soul of Burning Steel

In the far-beam galaxy, the atrium people, who had been destroyed by continuous high-energy explosions and all spiritual detection probes, also used optical instruments to discover the Void Mother Beast that was right in front of their eyes and could be watched with the naked eye.

The huge body was burned by flames, and the terrifying explosion tore its solid biological structure to pieces. The almost completely collapsed carapace and flesh of the Void Mother was floating in the sky mixed with its own blood and thick juice. The shattered, funny shape like a crescent moon makes people feel a deep chill while making people laugh.

The battle and long chasing battle among void beings is coming to an end. They chased from the edge of the galaxy all the way to the orbit of Neptune in the middle. During this period, countless asteroids were destroyed by the aftermath. As they spread in all directions, they may be attracted by the gravity of the stars of distant galaxies, forming a new interstellar orbit.

But even so, the battle is not over.

Especially for atrium people.

In the central fleet of the atrium, Fleet Commander Tarquin stood in front of the observation window of the bridge. The 360-degree observation platform formed by the spiritual light curtain allowed him to have a panoramic view of the surrounding space. With the naked eye, he could see the rear It was the dark blue Neptune, and with the aid of optical equipment, the old man could see the ferocious face of the mother of monsters in the distance.

That is, the swollen mass of flesh floating in the cosmic space is a festering sore that is breathing, and the half-moon-like body is moving rapidly in the vacuum, bringing out a long green mist of blood. It can be seen that the shattered black carapace of the Void Mother Beast is constantly coming together and reuniting under the squirming green flesh and blood. Countless lymph nodes and cartilage tissues are heavily damaged by the explosion, piled up like garbage, but they are still connected to the mother body. attempt to regenerate itself. It is not so much a living thing as it is a giant deformed meat ball. Compared to a biological mothership, it is more like a mass of plague tumors that will continue to spread.

"...Is this what a female beast looks like?"

Taquin, who had only seen this huge creature in the image of the mother tree, looked up at the ugly Void Descendant, who was still bigger than their fleet even though half of his body was missing. His eyes reflected the light in the sea of ​​stars. The old man said in a low voice: "It has already been severely damaged - the reinforcements prayed for by the Void Door Ceremony are so powerful, but this should be their limit."

No one would think that the two descending beings would be weak. They have already done better than all the people in the courtyard imagined, destroying nearly half of the body of the female beast? This is a task that even with all the battleships and fortresses of the people in the courtyard, they may not be able to do it.

"Commander, it's ready." Along with the sound of footsteps, a middle-aged man from the atrium came to the bridge observation platform, and he said in a suppressed excited voice: "The psionic vacuum cohesive engine from the parent star has been successfully loaded. , can start at any time."

"Then start recharging." Taquin looked sideways at his first mate, and then said in a Gujing Wubo tone: "This is the purpose of our coming here across several light years."

"As ordered."

The middle-aged man in the atrium left with an order to attack, while the old man still stood on the observation platform, staring at the dark cosmic space.

No tree will only grow branches and leaves on one side, so no organization will devote everything to a plan-the call of the void door is of course the last resort of the people in the atrium after they fall into despair, but including Mill Habs, Tower All the high-level atrium leaders, including Quinn and others, do not have any expectations for the existence outside the void. If they can help them resist the void mother beast, that is a good thing. If not, it is not beyond the worst prediction. In addition to restarting the ancient ritual, the Atrium people have another set of coping plans.

That is the super weapon built at the same time in the atrium mother galaxy and the colony galaxy fortress.

It has been millions of years since the ancestors of the people in the courtyard awakened their psionic powers, and two thousand years have passed since they abandoned their instincts and began to control their psionic powers with reason and wisdom. , Xinghai, they have developed countless strange psionic abilities, but whether it is battleship shields, psionic light spears, space fighters or jump engines, they were all invented a thousand years ago, and they were invented a thousand years ago. Inside, even if the Atrium people suffered heavy injuries and took a long time to recover, they should have achieved results.

Now, the result has become a reality. Hidden deep inside the home star fortress in the atrium, the "that" hidden in the center of the Poseidon star fortress has been roughly manufactured, but it cannot be activated because the strength of the energy supply exceeds the budget. In this regard, the high-level atrium decisively ordered the demolition of the home star The engine part of the fortress, and let the central fleet warp and load it on the Neptune fortress. With the power supply of two fortress-level engines and the energy assistance of half a fleet, the super weapon can finally operate smoothly, aiming at the enemy outside the parent galaxy.

"drop------"

The sharp warning sound, accompanied by the sudden disappearance of the observation light curtain, red lights lit up in the bridge of the Forerunner, the flagship of the central fleet in the atrium, but Tarquin was not surprised at all. He knew that this emergency alarm was Because the energy in the core engine of the mothership is being seized by another huge facility, the energy to maintain the operation of the battleship is lower than the standard line. At this time, not only the Forerunner, but the entire central fleet in the atrium, the first and second of the colonial star This should be the case for all three squadrons, the energies of all warships are converging.

converge on their hopes.

In the orbit of Poseidon, in front of the fortress, facing the speeding and battered Void Mother Beast, the Atrium fleet that originally gathered in the space like an umbrella slowly spread out, and the main fleet in the front line withdrew one by one, revealing The behemoth they had been covering before - a gigantic rhombic octahedron with a length of more than ten kilometers. The edge of this huge metal creation with a light silver shell is covered by a layer of transparent psionic crystals, but it is no longer transparent under the transportation of huge energy, but it lights up blue like the sky brilliant.

It is constantly charging, and it brings up thousands of psionic arcs that burst out in the vacuum, and as the charging is gradually completed, this huge rhombic octahedron also begins to deform slowly. After a few seconds, its final shape The front end shrinks, forming a concave hole, and a transparent spherical crystal focuser is inlaid in the center, which is connected to four constantly recharging psionic crystals. Now, the transparent focuser has been completely filled with silver-blue spiritual energy, revealing star-like spots of light.

On the bridge of the battleship, Tarquin narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that now was the time to start.

Therefore, in the next moment, a stream of silver-blue light that was condensed to the extreme pierced through time and space, and lit up from the direction of the Seagod Star Fortress. It did not have any heat, no impact, and even no energy reaction. At this moment, Joshua, who was flying in the orbit of the female beast, opened his eyes wide. He saw the long-prepared blow of the people in the courtyard, but did not Figure out what's going on here.

Psionic light flow without any heat and shock? What are the people in Zhongting doing? Are they planning to highlight the female beast?

After expelling this nonsensical idea from his head, Joshua couldn't help but have many other guesses, such as using spiritual power to control the female beast when the female beast was weak and its thinking center was seriously injured, but this is also not feasible, because the spirit of the female beast is empty. The power is so huge, even if the psychic energy of all the people in the atrium is gathered together, it can only be said that each other will win or lose. Just two fleets want to wrestle with the mother beast? Too arrogant.

Joshua originally had many other guesses, but soon, as the real purpose of the people in the courtyard appeared, he immediately opened his eyes wide and got rid of all the thoughts in his mind.

"It's a leap!"

It is indeed a transition.

Accompanied by the words that Joshua uttered out of surprise, time-space fluctuations that were so huge that even if the void mother beast opened the time-space channel, it would not be able to come across the galaxy appeared on the mother beast hit by the silver-blue spiritual energy light stream On the body, in just a split second, the "psychic one-dimensional space" that the people of Zhongting rely on to cross the star sea and colonize the universe is directly opened, which is thousands of times larger than the space that the warship's built-in jump engine can create. The brilliance devoured more than half of the body of the caught off guard female beast in an instant, forcing it to 'jump' to the spiritual space!

At this moment, Joshua finally understood what the people in the atrium used to suppress the bottom box—that is, this jumping device capable of transporting huge objects tens of kilometers in length!

A thousand years ago, the Atrium people already had a jump engine that could bring colonization ships to other galaxies, allowing them to officially embark on the era of interstellar colonization, but because of this, they also discovered the shortage of the jump engine.

That is, the carrying capacity is too small.

The most advanced psychic engine of the people in the atrium can at most teleport warships with a diameter of no more than 3,000 meters for leaping. No matter how large the psychic space is not wide enough, the teleportation will be lost. Every colonial ship arrives at a new All planets have to start from scratch and use the resources on their spaceship to build colonies. Even if the mother star wants to support, it must consume a lot of energy. Sending hundreds of warships back and forth more than a dozen times can barely create a new colony. The wasted spiritual energy during this period is immeasurable. So, they started the research on the transition of large objects.

Because of the heavy damage caused by the crystal insect incident, the Atrium civilization has been stagnant for a long time, including the research on this large-mass transition, but recently, this research has been restarted, and it has achieved gratifying results. That's why the teleportation has not been announced, but now, this civilian facility that was originally used to directly teleport a colonial fleet has been completely transformed into a military weapon, and the disadvantage of being unable to teleport safely has also become an advantage.

I saw that in the vacuum of the universe, the void female beast hit by the light flow of the spiritual energy leap suddenly lost most of its body, as if a piece of it had been erased by an eraser. After a short period of stagnation, the remaining part began to go crazy and painful The peristalsis of the body—most of its body was transported into the psychic space, while the rest of it was split. This is the sharp edge formed by the space, and all mortal matter cannot withstand its shearing, even the plague god The same goes for the family members and the Void Mother Beast.

But that's not the end. If it is just an ordinary teleportation, then most of the body of the female beast is teleported to a distant place, and it takes a long time to recover its vitality. One day, it will swallow other lives and matter and return to revenge on the people in the courtyard, whether it is Takui Because the people who designed this weapon thought of this, so, accompanied by the old man's happy smile, the silver-blue space-time ripples appeared again. It was not the passage formed by the successful transition, but the failure of the transition. Excluded from the exit of the spiritual energy space!

How could a large jump generator transformed into a weapon successfully complete the teleportation? The matter involved in the spiritual energy space will fail due to the transition, and will be cut into pieces by countless sharp space cracks like sharp blades, and smashed into tiny particles that are invisible to the naked eye! This is the result confirmed by the people in Zhongting when they saw the wreckage of their battleship after the first failed transition thousands of years ago, and the female beast is no exception!

──We may have really created an amazing weapon.

Commander of the Central Fleet, Tarquin suddenly had such a thought in his mind. This super weapon named 'subspace smasher' by the Ministry of Technology has the power to instantly smash a giant asteroid, no matter how tough the material and shield are, after being forced to teleport, and then the space crack caused by the failure of the transition After cutting, it will become as fine as gravel. No fleet has a way to deal with this kind of weapon. Unless they specially develop facilities to resist teleportation, they will not even be able to defend.

While the old man was thinking, the light of the failure of the transition dissipated, and as countless space cracks spread like spider webs, a mass of black-green flesh and blood fell out of the silver-blue psionic space—that was exactly The flesh and blood residue formed by the female beast being cut thousands of times by the space.

"Successful!"

"We made it!"

"Holy One! We have finally passed the test you sent down!" "Nonsense, how could the Holy One send down such a severe test? This is the revenge of the Holy One's enemies against us!"

"Seventy-seven percent of the female beast's body was cut by the spiritual energy space and lost its vitality! Wait, why are there still a few points?"

In the center of the spacious Subspace Fragmentation Cannon control room, countless technicians clapped hands in celebration. They cheered and jumped with tears in their eyes, cheering for the upcoming victory. Among them, there was even a brief quarrel caused by too much joy and excitement. One The researcher even accidentally pressed a button in the control room, turning off a light somewhere, causing panic. But one of the technicians questioned and answered in doubt immediately knocked down the festive atmosphere, and everyone gathered behind him, looking at the information displayed on the spiritual light curtain in front of him.

"There is an obvious psychic reaction... The psychic core of the female beast has produced a shield, maintaining the stability of the surrounding space and not being shredded!"

"This is the weakness of the Broken Cannon! If the enemy also has powerful psychic powers, it might allow him to forcibly make a successful transition instead of being chopped up by failure!"

The atmosphere has heated up again, because everyone knows that even if the female beast still has a psionic core after losing its flesh and blood, it is no longer the enemy of the Zhongting people. object of further research.

But Joshua was flying at high speed, shaking his head violently while approaching the flesh and blood of the mother beast that seemed to have completely lost its vitality.

"No! The power of this super weapon is indeed beyond my imagination, but how could the female beast die because of this purely physical cutting attack?!"

It is a super life composed of nano-scale biological viruses!

Flesh chopped up? Losing a lot of mass? The flesh and blood were cut into slag? Does this make sense to the family of the evil plague god? Not even slimes will die from being chopped up, let alone Chaos Creatures! Only by using the millions of degrees of high temperature of the psychic light spear to completely burn the flesh and blood residue into nothingness can it be considered as annihilation! At most, the super weapon of the people in the courtyard is to break the body of the female beast, causing it to lose part of its quality, that's all!

And as the rays of light gathered by the Zhongting people's super weapons gradually dissipated, those flesh and blood that seemed to have lost their vitality suddenly began to move slightly, and they began to reorganize themselves rapidly with the spiritual core as the center. The distance is so far away that only optical instruments can observe it, it is almost non-existent, but for Joshua who observes through the horizon of the force of steel all the time, it is very obvious, he can even see a scientific research ship leaving The large fleet of the Atrium people flew towards the flesh and blood of the mother beast.

The Void Mother Beast was indeed severely injured, but it is still alive. If the people in the courtyard are careless, they may be backlashed!

However, if this is the case - Joshua, who was flying at high speed, suddenly turned his head and looked at the Neptune planet behind the Atrium fleet. The giant blue gaseous planet is slowly rotating on its own axis, unchanged from time immemorial.

A crazy idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

A method that can truly turn the Void Mother Beast into nothingness.

There will be another chapter later... I originally planned to finish writing a chapter of 9000, but there is not enough time, so I can only post it now in order to keep updating.
