Logically speaking, in front of the Crystal Suit that had a super high speed and agility, such an enormous human-shaped machine almost two hundred meters tall was of no real significance except for the astonishing sound and visual effects. It even seemed rather clumsy.
However, the iron troll made of iron caltrops and electric arcs boasted agility that did not match its size at all. Its' arms' and 'legs' were not mechanical structures at all. They were purely pulled by the electric arcs. Therefore, they could be extended, retracted, and turned freely. They could even launch the enormous iron caltrops like the bullets of a crystal railgun!
Before the real attack, it would also release intense mental attacks to shock the brains of the Exos of the Union Army and stun them for a moment.
When the brains of the Union Army recovered from the dizziness, the iron caltrops that were several meters in diameter and surrounded by electric arcs had already smashed at them brutally.
In terms of size, it was a battle between an elephant and a mouse.
However, the elephant looked as agile as the mouse, and the 'mouse' was as clumsy as the elephant.
The iron troll swept across everything in its way. Wherever it went, the Crystal Suit collapsed, and blood and flesh splashed. Almost a hundred men were killed before they even had the chance to grunt! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The iron troll was not just good at melee combat. Its body was made of almost a thousand iron caltrops, which meant that it could twist and transform freely. Under the attraction of the magnetic field, its limbs were sometimes long and sometimes short. They even formed four cylinders from which countless iron caltrops spurted out at the coordinates where the Union Army was densest. It was not until they reached the center of the battle formation that they exploded abruptly and turned into an ocean of fire of death!
The situation of the battle was reversed instantly.
The previously unstoppable Union Army was blocked by the inhuman strength by brute force.
The army of ghosts, which was slightly scattered and disordered, regrouped under the cover of the giant and was ready to launch a countercharge at any moment!
The Union Army, which came from different troops and lacked a unified command, had been charging at the summons of the horn of charge in the first place.
Such a battle formation was sharp enough but not tenacious enough. It could only win, not lose!
If it won, it would be crazier and crazier, and it would be able to carry out the combat ability equal to that of the elite troops. If it lost, it would be utterly routed, and its true form would be revealed. It would be impossible for it to gather again.
It was the greatest difference between a regular troop and an ace troop!
"What the hell is that thing?"
Even Li Yao, as an experienced refiner, had never seen such a weird … war puppet before.
The caltrops that made up its body and limbs seemed to be made of space torpedoes. But the magnetic field that constituted its veins, nerves, veins, and nerves were the key.. How had it been made, and how had it been manipulated so that it could be manipulated so freely and flawlessly? Li..... How had it been created, and how had it been manipulated to make it work work work of the Crystal crystal Suit?
"It's — it's a 'super spirit' produced by Professor Mo Xuan. It's the most awesome war artificial intelligence!"
A light space shuttle flew close under the protection of more than ten guards of the Union Army. Li Yao observed carefully. The cockpit of the space shuttle had been simply modified. The front seat was for the pilot, and the back seat was for a shivering 'jelly'. Inside the 'jelly' was a weird super crystal processor.
It was Liu Wenshan, the refiner who had been trapped in the 'Spiriters' Realm 'and forced to join Professor Mo Xuan's research project, only to be rescued by Li Yao and the rest of them just now.
He happened to be adept at the automation of crystal processors. Artificial intelligence spirits were exactly what he was best at!
"Do you remember what I said? I vaguely heard from other people in the research team that Professor Mo Xuan has produced nineteen super artificial intelligences after decades of hard work. Other than two failed products that were completely shattered due to logical errors and data overflow, seventeen of them have succeeded!"
Telepathic thoughts spread out of the weird metal brain. Liu Wenshan said in a hurry, "The seventeen super artificial intelligences are different from the other Deviant Spirits that are calculated in real time based on the support of big data. Their computational ability is at least a hundred times higher than that of common Deviant Spirits. They are infinitely close to the real way of thinking of human beings. Professor Mo Xuan, or rather, the extraterrestrial devils, has also endowed them with all kinds of amazing techniques!
"According to the old specialists in our research team, such super artificial intelligences all have special code names in the army of ghosts. They are known as' Hyper Spirits'!
"Most of the Hyper Spirits are used to hack and control the planetary defense arrays, the flagship-level main-force warships, and the mainframe crystal processors in the space zone. But for safety, Professor Mo Xuan seems to have modified one or two Hyper Spirits for individual combat purposes. The monster before our eyes must be one of them!"
Hyper Spirits …
There was no telling how many Deviant Spirits Professor Mo Xuan had created in the past few decades, but only nineteen of them were qualified to be called 'Hyper Spirits'. Two of them had even failed in the experiments!
Even Professor Mo Xuan, who had the remarkable technical support of the extraterrestrial devils, had failed. It was not hard to infer the complexity and toughness of the Hyper Spirits.
The computational ability and database of the Hyper Spirits were so high that they could hack the planetary defense arrays and the flagship-level mainframe crystal processors. No wonder they could transform and manipulate such complicated models of spiritual and magnetic fields!
"Those things are not easy to deal with!"
Luo Qisheng said solemnly, "I don't know what a 'Hyper Spirit' is, but I do know that the torso and limbs that make up its body and limbs are all the most advanced space torpedoes of the Federation known as' Abyss Jellyfish '!
"Those space torpedoes are different from the common goods just now. Their explosive units have been embedded with artificial marrow crystals made of super high pressure. Ten times more power rune arrays have been carved on the surface of the explosion than regular space torpedoes. Their speed, agility, and explosive power are all dozens of times higher than regular space torpedoes!
"Do you see the chains dancing madly around them? That's the spirit energy magnetic attraction device. It can guide them to fly to the target with the strongest spirit energy fluctuations. If the target's momentum isn't strong enough, it might even turn around and be attracted to them. They will surround them and explode into pieces!
"As super space torpedoes, the Abyss Jellyfish is very expensive to produce. It is not worth it to deal with regular targets. They are specially made to deal with Colossi!"
"Colossi?"
Li Yao's eyelids twitched.
Luo Qisheng nodded. "Exactly. To be more exact, they are meant to delay and hinder the movement of the Colossi so that we can buy time for our own side to lock onto the target, gather the troops, and show up the Colossi!"
"Oh?"
Li Yao sneered. "Can they stop the Colossi?"
"Other than the Colossi, no magical equipment can really stop the Colossi."
Luo Qisheng smiled bitterly. "But right now, so many 'Abyss Jellyfish' seem to have been modified crazily by Professor Mo Xuan and enhanced by the 'Hyper Spirits', making them as strong as they are now! But there are no Colossi in Hundred Flowers City. The only dozens of Colossi in the Federation are all deployed in the capital city, the production center of the warships, and the mining and refining bases!
"There's nothing we can do about the monster!"
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and stared at the rampage of the iron troll. The speed at which it absorbed spiritual energy and nutrition was suddenly accelerated. The dark green jelly turned clear and transparent at a visible speed.
He and Long Yangjun looked at each other and saw the hunger in each other's eyes.
"We … have failed. I didn't know that there were such things as' Hyper Spirits'."
Looking at the perilous frontline ahead, Luo Qisheng's voice was coarse and hollow. "The army of ghosts is regrouping. When they finish regrouping and launch a counterattack, our army will completely collapse. Even the bravest soldiers will only end up as targets for the army of ghosts. After the collapse, it will be impossible for us to gather an army of the same scale and morale again!
"Then, there's nothing we can do."
Li Yao's eyes were wide open. Every strand of muscle on his body was vibrating at a high frequency like a high-frequency wave blade. The vibrating force instantly shattered the medical gel into pieces, turning it into a faint green mist that lingered around his body.
Long Yangjun also broke out of the shell of the medical gel. Staring at the iron troll that was going on a rampage far away, she calculated its battle pattern and movement trajectory crazily. In the meantime, she was spinning a Cosmos Ring from the primeval era on her thumb unhurriedly.
"This must be Professor Mo Xuan's trump card," Li Yao said. "I assume that he must be very distressed right now, because the game has only just begun, and he is about to reveal all his trump cards!"
"Probably," Long Yangjun said.
"Even if Professor Mo Xuan has indeed produced nineteen 'Hyper Spirits', most of them must've been used to hack the strategic-level mainframe crystal processors. It is impossible that they are all used in individual battles."
"I hope so."
Li Yao mumbled, "After we beat the King and the King, we won't have any more cards in our hands!"
"You two? You two! "
Luo Qisheng was slightly dazed. Realizing what the two of them were going to do, he was both excited and ashamed. "Don't go up there! You have done enough for the Federation! Your physical strength and spiritual energy have not been fully recovered yet. Your Crystal Suit and Ares Extension are all on the brink of destruction! Even if you are experts in the Yuanying level, you are no match for it. It is a terrifying weapon that was specifically crafted to delay the Colossi!
"This is our war. There is no reason for you to sacrifice yourselves. Just retreat. We will cover you! Two high-level Yuanying warriors are not necessary to sacrifice themselves for nothing. Only by preserving the survivors can we have the hope of final victory! "
"You … will cover us?"
Li Yao's eyes were hot. He recalled the days in the Tian Yuan Realm more than a hundred years ago when a million people marched forward to cover him, protect him, and support him.
He patted Luo Qisheng's shoulder so heavily that it almost shattered Luo Qisheng's shoulder pad.
He couldn't help but grin. His eyes glittering, he said, one word after another, "Colonel Luo, we appreciate your kindness, but there are two conditions.
"Firstly, you will know very soon that this is not just your war but also … my war.
"Secondly, we will not retreat, nor will we sacrifice ourselves!
"Abyss Jellyfish, Iron Troll, weapons designed to block the Colossi? Then, let me see if you can really block the power of the Colossi! "
