Chapter 3014 Super Electric Torrent
“Stop it!”
Li Yao and Li Linghai’s roars echoed inside the cockpit of every starship.
Although they did not understand why Lu Qingchen would sacrifice the Dry Wood Fortress and push a gargantuan meteoroid toward the ancient star instead of ‘Ancient Thirteenth’, whose structure was weaker and whose mass was smaller, Li Yao, Li Linghai, and all the experts in the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage and the Divinity Transformation Stage were all alarmed.
Lu Qingchen was definitely not talking nonsense. What they saw was definitely his sharpest killing move.
There was no time.
Lu Qingchen had taken every detail into consideration and even captured their subtle thoughts precisely. He calculated that the exploration fleet would focus their attention on the two fortresses named ‘Phantom Ocean’ and Sharpen Gold’ and ‘Ancient Thirteenth’, and that they would not notice the vast vacuum on one side of the ancient star at all.
It did make sense now that he thought about it. The ancient giants were the kings of the planetary families. Although they had suffered heavy losses in the two supernova explosions and were in the active period when their structure was extremely unstable, they were still not something that the insignificant human fortresses could shake. Therefore, none of the fast attack starships were deployed near the gravity field of the ancient giants and could stop the furious advance of the Dry Wood Fortress.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of colorful spears of light were released from the hundreds of fast-attack starships and darted toward the Dry Wood Fortress. However, they were too far away from each other. When the furious energy exceeded the effective range, the magnetic field under their control was soon gone. The fatal rays of light were scattered and blurred.
Even though they could hit the Dry Wood Battle Fortress, the Supreme Battle Fortress had always been known for its thick skin and high defense ability. Just now, when Ding Lingdang invaded the fortress with dozens of Giant God Soldiers, it had taken her quite a few hours to destroy the defense system. The iron-like plate armor of the fortress had not been completely torn open yet, not to mention that spiritual energy weapons were merely tickling the plate armor of the Dry Wood Battle Fortress at such a long distance.
As for physical weapons such as spiritual bullets and space torpedoes, they were too far away and too slow to catch up with the Dry Wood Fortress.
Besides, even if he did, so what?
So what if the Dry Wood Fortress was riddled with holes because of the bombardment of the light beams and the explosive bullets? So what if it completely collapsed? Its acceleration had reached the limit, and it resonated strongly with the gravitational field of the ancient planet. It was like an unstoppable tide that had returned to the ocean. Nothing could stop it.
Li Yao, Li Linghai, Li Jialing, Boss Bai, Long Yangjun, Ding Lingdang… All the experts could do nothing but watch the thousands of spears of light explode at the rear end of the Dry Wood Fortress, raising clusters of brilliant fireworks, which seemed to add a few points of acceleration to the fortress and accelerated the meteoroid that it was pushing forward. In the end, the meteoroid turned into a red light spot and pierced into the atmosphere where the ancient giant was filled with hydrogen, helium, and methane!
The point of impact of the Dry Wood Fortress was one of the most conspicuous ‘Great Red Spot’ on the ancient giants.
The so-called Great Red Spot was the largest cyclone in the atmosphere of the ancient giants. It could be more than ten thousand kilometers in diameter. It was the most magnificent and the most intense weather change among all the planets with atmospheres.
Since the atmosphere of the ancient giants contained a lot of red phosphorus and methane, the high-speed friction of the tornadoes would release burning redness. Therefore, if observed from the orbit, they looked like bloody mouths all over the ancient giants.
Pushing the meteoroid into such a bloody mouth was like a bug landing in a swamp. At first, there was not even the tiniest splash. “That’s it?”
Li Yao and the other experts looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what the strategy was.
се
If the Supreme Battle Fortress was pushed to the ‘Ancient Thirteenth’, it was possible that the structure of the ‘Ancient Thirteenth’ would be completely altered during the fierce collision. The furious energy stored in the core of the ‘Ancient Thirteenth’ would be activated, and a new ‘Great Collision of Heaven and Earth’ would be created. But attacking the ancient giant, the Great Red Spot, would be like tickling a dinosaur with a grass. There would be no reaction at all.
However, ten seconds later, they realized that they were wrong.
The Great Red Spot, which had swallowed the Dry Wood Battle Fortress, suddenly expanded into almost a hundred new cantilevers at a visible speed, as if the dynamic balance that it had maintained for hundreds of years had been broken and its speed of revolution increased by three to five times.
Then, hundreds of deep purple ‘threads’ appeared in the depths of the red spot, entangling, tangling, tearing, and melting each other, as if the bloody eyeballs were full of twisted blood streaks.
When the blood threads were gathered to the limit, they were unstoppable like a volcanic eruption. They soared into the sky and tore apart the atmosphere and the gravity ring before they darted toward the battlefield precisely!
“This is—”
All the experts, including Li Yao and Ding Lingdang, felt that their blood was freezing.
Such terrifying thunderstorms and torrents of plasma were similar to the extreme weather conditions when they rescued Iron Fist. But the energy released this time was hundreds of times more than last time.
Just think about it—the tens of thousands of raging lightning bolts, each of which was at least tens of thousands of kilometers long and almost a hundred kilometers in diameter, had an immeasurable range of destruction. Yet, they were all condensed together and exploded into dazzling sparks!
The brightness and the radiation, the interference of the magnetic field, and the flow of high-energy particles were comparable to the tongues of fire when a star was shooting at an entire galaxy.
It was the unbelievable, apocalyptic scene that Li Yao and the exploration fleet were faced with.
“It’s impossible. Such intense magnetic field disturbances and energy releases can only happen when a super-large meteoroid strikes a planet. The Dry Wood Fortress and the large meteoroid are far from enough to trigger such a destructive thunderstorm!”
“It doesn’t make sense. The magnetic field released by the energy is too weird. It seems to be targeting us. Why? The atmosphere is the most suitable environment for the scourge of lightning. Why did the lightning condense into a torrent of plasma and soar into the vacuum? It doesn’t make sense!”
“8,000 kilometers! 10,000 kilometers! 30,000 kilometers! 50,000 kilometers! My god, this torrent of plasma is really high. It completely exceeds the calculations of all our lightning models. Is-is it really lightning?”
All the astronomers, meteorologists, and spiritual energy scientists screamed in shock.
In the operation to rescue Iron Fist just now, the torrent of plasma had already made their building of faith on the verge of collapse. But the super torrent of plasma right in front of their eyes, which was hundreds of times more powerful and out of the atmosphere of the ancient giants, had blown the ‘undefinable truth’ that they had built up over the past hundred years into smithereens!
“Careful! That’s not lightning!”
Several meteorologists screamed at the same time.
What else could it be other than lightning?
No one knew, and no one had time to calculate or deduce.
It was because, while everybody’s attention was focused on the ‘super plasma torrent’, the remaining ‘Fortress Phantom Sea’ and ‘Fortress Sharp Gold’ exploded violently from the center as expected.
Ding Lingdang, Boss Bai, and the rest of them had been prepared for this. All the crystal suits and space shuttles that were relatively weaker in defense had hidden behind the spiritual shield of the starship or behind the giant meteoroids. The operators of the Giant God Soldiers had sensed the high-energy reaction at the center of the supreme fortress in advance and escaped before the explosion.
The self-detonation of the two supreme fortresses did not deal much damage to the exploration fleet. It was even safe to say that the two self-detonations that Lu Qingchen had orchestrated were not designed to maximize the damage of the warship.
Under the ravaging torrents of energy, the shells of the two supreme fortresses caved in at first, before they protruded out violently. After a few repetitions, tens of thousands of twisted gaps appeared, through which purple flames spurted out. Not only did the flames envelop the two supreme fortresses, they also released purple ripples that spread to the entire battlefield and dyed the spiritual shields of all the starships of the exploration fleet purple.
“Report. The defense magnetic field of our starship has been seriously jammed by the enemy’s self-detonation. The spiritual shield is in a mess. There is no sign that the defense ability of our starship has been compromised. We cannot determine the form and model of the interference right now. It is being calculated urgently!”
“Same here. Our spiritual shields have been jammed, too. But the interference did not damage our defense at all. How weird!”
“Not just us, the entire battlefield is covered in weird spiritual waves. It is as if Lu Qingchen sacrificed the ‘Battle Fortress Phantom Sea’ and the ‘Sharpen Gold Fortress’ and released all his energy, dyeing the entire space zone purple. But the spiritual waves are not aggressive at all, and we cannot find a neutral frequency to eliminate them!
All the starships reported to him one after another.
A non-aggressive spiritual energy ripple was like the eternal radiation of a star in the sea of stars. Since it was not very sharp, it was difficult to find a way to neutralize it and disperse it.
Although the spiritual energy ripples were not aggressive by themselves, they were fatally attractive to the super plasma torrents that were bursting out of the ancient giants. When the super plasma torrents sensed the spiritual energy ripples, they were like sharks that had smelled the scent of blood. They were faster and more precise, and they lunged at the battlefield precisely.
“This… lunatic!”
At this moment, Li Yao finally knew Lu Qingchen’s entire plan.
He sacrificed the last three supreme fortresses in order to lure the exploration fleet into the ‘hunting range’ of the ‘super plasma torrent’. Then, he would use the ‘blood’ from the self-detonation of the supreme fortresses to attract the devils lurking on the ancient giants and swallow the entire exploration fleet!
