The target of the Black Wind Fleet turned out to be not the Uranian Ring Sector or the Flying Star Sector, the largest starship production and maintenance base of the Federation, but the Tian Yuan Realm, the capital of the Federation!
Also, according to Professor Mo Xuan, the Black Wind Fleet had already performed a space jump at this moment and smashed the heart of the Federation like a club!
The news was like a thunderclap. Everybody was at a loss for what to do.
Right then, hundreds of liquid metal puppets squatted and jumped close from various directions.
They seemed to be made of soft plasticine. Their limbs and torsos could be extended freely. When they jumped over, their limbs were extended to almost three meters long, but their torsos were constricted into a tiny cluster. They did not look like human beings but more like some sort of weird four-legged spiders.
In such a form, they had improved their comprehensive mobility to the maximum. After a light jump, they could jump dozens of meters away!
"Attack!"
After Luo Qisheng's command, almost a thousand fiery snakes were unleashed in front of the hundreds of members of the daring team. Metal bullets, high-frequency vibration waves, intense radiation … The colorful fiery snakes congregated into a destructive tide and smashed at the liquid metal puppets overwhelmingly.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
The liquid metal puppet was instantly blown into a hornet's nest that was riddled with holes. It was then cut in half and torn into smaller metal clusters in midair. It could not even maintain its basic form anymore and turned into a pile of silver mud. It collapsed on the ground and let out earsplitting hisses while it shivered, wriggled, and struggled.
The liquid metal puppets did not seem to have a spiritual shield at all. They were extremely vulnerable and could not withstand a single blow.
However, after a moment of wriggling, they were condensed into silver 'rubber balls' again. Cone-Shaped limbs that looked like hands and feet grew out of them, allowing them to 'stand' again. Their torsos were slowly condensed into a larger oval on the top of a smaller oval. Ripples were spreading out of the surface of the smaller oval, condensing into an expression that looked like a 'smile'.
"Faced with absolute peace, even the most powerful weapons are absolutely useless."
The liquid metal puppets said with a smile.
This smile made everyone shudder.
Looking past the liquid metal puppets, deep inside the space station, more and more puppets appeared from the silver-white ground, walls, and ceiling. They were like tombstones that appeared from the netherworld as they stared at them motionlessly.
The total number … was at least in the thousands, and it was still increasing!
"How is this possible?"
In the special communication channel of the Colossus, Long Yangjun remarked in disbelief, "How exactly are so many weird liquid metal puppets manipulated? Even though they have all been torn into shreds, I don't see anything similar to a 'control chip' inside their bodies!
"It should be a spirit energy magnetic field remote control!"
Li Yao scanned the surroundings and gritted his teeth. "We're one step too late. Professor Mo Xuan has completely swallowed the space station. He has shrouded the entire area in some kind of special magnetic field. These liquid metal puppets are not single individuals but part of a huge magnetic field under the control of a mastermind.
"Liquid metal is actually very simple in structure. Also, the loss when the form is changed is minimal. In other words, they are not scared of normal violence at all! If we can't find the 'mastermind' and destroy the entire magnetic field, they will 'reforge' the liquid metal puppets again and again no matter how many of them are torn apart! "
Thinking quickly, Long Yangjun said in a hurry, "That's bad. If such a 'mastermind' does exist, it must be inside the 'Gai' -level super crystal processor at the center of the 'grand-unified Spiritual Nexus Control Center'! Or rather, Professor Mo Xuan hacked one of the only three 'Gai' -level super crystal processors in the Federation. When the two of them are combined, they equal to the dreadful 'mastermind'!
"Even if we can find the mastermind, it is impossible for us to destroy it because Professor Mo Xuan is quite right. If the Black Wind Fleet does arrive in the Tian Yuan Realm, now is the time when the other six Sectors must reinforce the Tian Yuan Realm. Tremendous information, data, assets, troops, and warships must be mobilized. If the efficiency of the Spiritual Nexus is reduced by 30%, the Federation will lose the war even if it is only temporary!
"In other words, at the critical moment, Professor Mo Xuan has' hijacked 'the grand-unified Spiritual Nexus. We must be wary of him!"
Long Yangjun was not wrong at all.
Professor Mo Xuan's timing was immaculate. He truly deserved to be a terrifying being whose computational ability was comparable to the super crystal processors!
"There must be loopholes."
Sweating hard, Li Yao could only comfort himself. "Because even if Professor Mo Xuan had calculated everything, he couldn't have foreseen the arrival of the twelve experts from the Ancient Sages Sector. It's impossible that our assault on the space station did not affect his plan. Didn't it consume a lot of spiritual energy and computational ability to build so many liquid metal puppets and command them to fight?
"Also, on Yan Liren's and Qi Zhongdao's side, even if they are controlled by Professor Mo Xuan's mysterious secret arts, those Yuanying Cultivators and even the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators will not be at the mercy of anybody!
"Professor Mo Xuan is seeking victory in the most dangerous situation in the first place. He couldn't have left such a huge amount of redundancy to deal with the unexpected factors. Don't be fooled by his confident attitude. Steady your belief. The extraterrestrial devils are best at mental attacks, and mental attacks are most effective when one's belief is shaken!"
Hardly had Li Yao concluded his sentence when a large batch of liquid metal puppets jumped close for the second time.
This time, they were even faster and more numerous. They even grasped the shooting trajectories of some of the daring teams and dodged more agilely. Although they were knocked down mercilessly again, they were no more than a hundred meters away from the members of the daring teams.
Very soon, the silver 'mud' wriggled, rippled, condensed, reforged, sprinted, and knocked down again. Hissing noises of metal echoed nonstop.
Their vitality seemed to be infinite, but the pills and spiritual energy of the members of the daring teams were rather limited. Although they had carried some special incendiary bombs that could generate a temperature of a thousand degrees and completely change the nature of the liquid metal materials, they did not dare use them recklessly in consideration of the special environment of the grand-unified Spiritual Nexus processing center.
Besides, judging from the fact that the entire space station had been swallowed by the liquid metal, the hundreds of special incendiary bombs were not nearly enough at all!
Finally.
"We've run out of ammunition!"
"The attack rune arrays are overloaded. Damn it. The cooldown is half a minute!"
"Freezing bombs! Does anybody have any more freezing bombs? "
The firing points became intermittent, and some of them even fell silent. Except for a few liquid metal puppets that were temporarily frozen, the rest of the liquid metal puppets were still unmoved and charged forward with smiles on their faces.
Even for the liquid metal puppets that were frozen by the freezing bombs, what was really lost was only the thin metal shell on the outside. Because the coldness had not invaded their insides yet, the liquid metal inside had already flowed out through the 'bottom of their feet'.
This kind of "cicada shedding its carapace" tactic reduced the attack effect of the Frost Bullet to the limit.
The first liquid metal puppet turned into a streak of silver brilliance and pierced into the members of the daring teams, beginning a fierce head-on battle!
If they were merely passive targets in the remote attacks just now, the head-on battle had completely become their world.
Neither the chainswords nor the vibration sabers could cause fatal damage to them. If their bodies were cut apart, they could be melted immediately. If their limbs were chopped off, they could turn into sharp 'vipers' and launch attacks on their own. If their heads were blown up, it was not a big deal at all. They could condense dozens of heads that were merely decorations at any time!
Only the orange edge of the high-temperature axes could cause real damage to them and completely disintegrate the internal structure of the liquid metal.
However, what the edge of the axes could destroy was only a little bit of the liquid metal on the contact surface. Professor Mo Xuan had optimized the calculation based on the weakness of such puppets. When they sensed that the temperature was too high, the remaining liquid metal would automatically disperse and stay away from the high-temperature area before it condensed again.
With the incessant liquid metal materials as a supplement, even the most serious wounds could be healed for them.
Things were different for the members of the daring teams.
"Ahhh!"
It seemed that the computational ability of the liquid metal puppets was limited, and they could not create spiritual weapons whose internal structures were too complicated. They could only attack with their sharp limbs as cold weapons.
In the head-on battle, they would take one or two slashes from the members of the daring teams without caring about it at all. Then, they would take the opportunity to sink the chainswords and the vibration sabers into their bodies and absorb them with their spiritual magnetic fields. Then, they would stab the shoulders or soft abdomen of the members of the daring teams brutally with their limbs. Once they pierced into the members of the daring teams through the gaps of the Crystal Suit, they would turn into tiny metal threads and spread out. Even the tough men who were fearless of death could not help but scream!
However, their purpose was not to kill. The entry points they chose were usually not fatal. After connecting themselves to the members of the daring teams with the liquid metal threads, they wriggled again and extended countless tentacles like enormous jellyfish or octopuses, wrapping the members of the daring teams together with the Crystal Suit!
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
Hiss! Hiss! The members of the daring teams who were entangled by them struggled hard at first, but the liquid metal covered them again and again tirelessly. Finally, they were completely swallowed and enshrouded tightly, turning them into strange silver statues that were rooted to the battlefield!
The weird scene creeped out all the remaining members of the daring teams, and their hands and feet were cold.
They did not know whether or not they should cut open the 'silver shells' with their chainswords and rescue their comrades. They were afraid that their comrades' lives would be ruined if they were careless.
"* sshole, what kind of monster are you exactly?"
Luo Qisheng waved an electric ax in each of his hands. Silver splashed and iron flowed, but more and more liquid metal puppets surrounded him. Dense thorns even grew out of his feet and pierced through his ankles. He could not help but roar in pain!
"Rest assured. None of them are in danger."
Professor Mo Xuan's voice echoed from all directions again and again. "If there is a 1% chance, I am not willing to kill any of my compatriots. I'm only inviting you … to be our guests in our new world. That's all!"
