For a moment, all the crazily dancing 'flagella' and 'tentacles' around the iron troll became rigid and straightened. They tried their best to extend out, as if they were trying to escape from the blast of the explosion in a hurry.
There was no time!
The blood-red light ball exploded at the core of the iron troll abruptly, swallowing an area of almost a thousand meters in diameter. The intense radiation and interference caused by the light ball blew up the 'nerves' and 'veins' of the iron troll into powder. A thousand space torpedoes exploded at the same time, growing crazily like a series of abnormal tumors. After they reached the most hideous point, they exploded, shrank, and perished, leaving only countless swirling debris!
It was almost like Li Yao had poked a bloody hole in the universe with the Tartarean Skeleton, and the iron troll had been dragged into the hole and vanished into thin air!
The scorching battlefield fell into weird silence again, but the flames of spiritual energy around the two Colossi were still dancing crazily like two flapping flags, burning through the sky more and more fiercely!
A moment later, everybody was exclaiming in excitement. All the soldiers of the federal army were more excited than ever. Not caring whether or not their voices could be heard by each other in the vacuum of space, they tore their chests and broke their ribs and let out the most passionate, most resounding, and most sincere battle roars!
"Long live the Federation!"
"Long live the Colossi!"
The cheers might not be able to penetrate the cold universe.
However, the crystal cannons, the self-locking flying swords, the mystic ray cannons, and the chainswords, vibration sabers, and thermal axes that concentrated all their spirit, will, and hot blood could absolutely do it!
A moment ago, the frontline of the Union Army that had almost collapsed a moment ago was condensed into an iron tide again, crushing the army of ghosts overwhelmingly!
The army of ghosts had just changed into the cone-shaped battle formation that was most suitable for high impacts, but they were forced to switch to the defense mode before the height required for such a battle formation was triggered.
Despite their enormous computational ability, they were still cramping nervously, and their brains were cramping hard!
Li Yao and Long Yangjun boosted their morale to the maximum again on their own!
Now that their trump cards had been brought out, there was no reason for them to stop. They had to play the greatest role!
The 'Tartarean Skeleton' and the 'Yin Yang' broke into the enemy's battle formation in two different directions. They were unstoppable, crushing the army of ghosts as if they were reaping the lives of weeds. They had written a textbook definition of 'unstoppable'!
BOOM!
Li Yao threw out a cluster of red light at any moment, and a couple of Crystal Suits that failed to escape in time were turned into round fireballs.
Kacha!
The thorns and blood thorns danced crazily around his body. Whenever they touched any part of the crystal suit, even the smoothest plate armor would be entangled and torn apart brutally. The crystal suit was like an inferior wooden box that was torn into pieces.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
On the dozens of wings made of black spiritual energy on the back of the Tartarean Skeleton, at the core of every feather, there was a fragment of primeval treasures the size of a fingernail. Every fragment had a control rune array that Li Yao carved carefully and polished with his heart blood. Under the control of his telepathic thoughts, the fragments of the primeval treasures could still cause serious damage to the Crystal Suit or even the small starships when they were accelerated to the highest speed.
At this moment, a lot of soldiers of the army of ghosts were riddled with holes by Li Yao's stormy magical equipment scraps. Their flesh and blood were flying everywhere!
Very soon, there was nothing in front of Li Yao. When he looked back, there was nothing but the most appalling battlefield debris left behind him. Not a single combat unit of ghosts could be found.
This was the power of the Colossi that was comparable to a main-force warship but more agile than a main-force warship!
"Excuse me!"
Luo Qisheng and Long Yangjun flew to Li Yao together. The old colonel of the Union Army could not hide the excitement in his voice at all. In his eyes, Li Yao and Long Yangjun had become 'gods of war' who had arrived from the sky. He accepted their command willingly. "The army of ghosts at the periphery of the O1 space station is about to be suppressed by us. What do we do next? Do we clear the battlefield completely, or do we march in directly?"
"Let's march in directly!"
Li Yao and Long Yangjun looked at each other. After what happened just now, how could they be careless?
Although the Colossi had helped them to take back what they lost, their trump cards had been exposed too. Also, the Colossi were gold-swallowing behemoths that consumed a lot of mental power, spiritual energy, crystals, and ammunition. Despite the sturdiness of Li Yao and Long Yangjun's souls, driving the Colossi for a long time was like waving a saber that weighed a hundred and eighty kilograms for a long time. It was definitely too much for them.
The fierce battle just now had slightly lowered the battle performance parameters of the two Colossi. Li Yao and Long Yangjun could both sense that their souls were slowly burning like candles. In case anything went wrong, they had to charge at the core of the enemy's formation without any hesitation!
In five minutes, the daring team made of the officers had been gathered while the battle was still going on at the edge of the battlefield.
The two Colossi were the unquestionable vanguards. Li Yao and Long Yangjun broke into the O1 space station through the airtight gate that the iron troll had crawled out of just now.
The O1 area, which was at the center of the hundred spherical space stations in Hundred Flowers City, was the space station that was built earliest and largest. The shell of the entire silver sphere was dozens of kilometers in diameter. Even a light starship could crawl into the center of the sphere carefully and carry tremendous assets directly. The Tartarean Skeleton was only more than thirty meters tall. There was no need to worry that the Tartarean Skeleton would knock into it.
The three airtight gates were under the control of Professor Mo Xuan. Naturally, they would not be opened or closed easily. They did not have the time to hack the crystal processors and crack the rune arrays, either. The soldiers outside had sprayed a lot of gel at the exit of the airtight gates, forming a soft barrier that was highly elastic, preventing the oxygen inside the space station from leaking out.
BOOM!
After making sure that the internal pressure was stabilized, Li Yao kicked open the second and the third airtight gates in front of him heavily in the Tartarean Skeleton.
The daring team made of Cultivators, led by Luo Qisheng, broke into the O1 area with crystal cannons on their shoulders and chainswords in their hands, like wolves and tigers, like the 'General Control Room of Hundred Flowers City' and the 'Information Processing Center of the Grand-Unified Spiritual Nexus'!
The weird scene in front of their eyes, however, greatly surprised everybody, including Li Yao and Long Yangjun.
Inside the O1 area, the blue sky, white clouds, and tranquil scenery simulated by the Grand Illusionary Land were all gone, leaving only the silver cabin wall that was emitting coldness that was as cold as ice. It was within their expectations and not surprising at all.
However, at the center of the O1 area, there should still be a lot of real soil and plants. There should be a rather large park for the workers who lived here to relax and relieve their stress. But the park was gone, too!
No, it didn't disappear. The park was still there, but whether it was the colorful flowers, the lush bushes, or the large trees full of fruits, everything had turned silvery-white!
That's right. Everyone took a closer look. Everything in the interior of Area O1, be it the flowers, the trees, or the skyscrapers, had all turned silvery-white, like silver statues that had just solidified!
As the core of Hundred Flowers City and even the entire Xing Yao Federation's Spiritual Nexus and the center of the virtual world, at least hundreds of thousands of researchers, crystal processor experts, and Spiritual Nexus specialists were living here. The place should have been bustling with noise and excitement, but there was nothing but dead silence at this moment, as if it were a tomb made of silver. Everybody … seemed to have been transported to a different world!
The weird scene made all the members of the daring team shudder hard.
"What happened here? How did it end up like this?"
"What are the silver materials that have been frozen on the floor and the cabin wall exactly?"
"If Professor Mo Xuan is really behind this, what tricks is he going to play now that we've taken care of his most formidable 'spirit'?"
Right at this moment, the Silver Tomb that had been silent and motionless suddenly moved!
As if a cold wind from the infernal hell had blown over a pool of stagnant water, ripples suddenly spread out on the wall, the floor, and the silver materials that enshrouded all the buildings. They turned from a solid state into a thick liquid, moving, twisting, and condensing rhythmically. From the ground, the wall, and the dome, silver faces that were smiling appeared one after another.
Seeing that, Li Yao suddenly realized what was covering the O1 area exactly. "It's liquid metal!"
Luo Qisheng realized what was going on, too. He shouted, "Be careful, everybody. Something is wrong. Those are liquid metals in the mustard-seed level. They are designed to repair the damaged parts of the space stations!"
Liquid metal was not the name of a natural metal. Instead, it was a special alloy created by mixing countless metal elements together. Under a certain temperature, pressure, or spirit energy fluctuations, it could change its form freely, just like plasticine or gel. It could be molded at will.
Because it was highly malleable, and when the conditions that kept it in the liquid state were changed, it could be turned into the solid state immediately with a high hardness. Therefore, it was a necessary material for the repair of the shell of a starship.
Hundred Flowers City was a metropolis in space made of almost a hundred enormous space stations that were connected to each other. The damage caused by the aging of the shell, cosmic storms, and meteoroids during the daily operation was unavoidable. Naturally, a tremendous amount of liquid metal had been stored.
Hundred Flowers City even boasted its own liquid metal purification plant that could produce hundreds of tons of liquid metal incessantly!
At this moment, it seemed that all the liquid metal stored in Hundred Flowers City had been secretly transported to the O1 area, drowning the place and turning it into an ocean of silver!
