The previously stable and uniform space-time swirls were twisted and violent under the effect of the storm. Some of the reinforcement fleets of the Imperium had already passed through the wormhole, only to be mired in the depths of the overlapping ripples at the last moment.
They were either stretched from several kilometers to hundreds of kilometers long, or raised an intense explosion when two or three starships overlapped and all their materials appeared at the same coordinate, or they were forever mired in the state of 'broken void', unable to be condensed again at all, like glittering mists in space.
Almost none of the starships managed to escape from the fatal swirls. The few starships that did luckily were twisted into helices, losing all their spiritual energy and momentum. Judging from the broken shells and the cracks that almost penetrated the bodies of the starships, most of the crew members inside were probably dead, too.
The star beacons that constituted the space gate exploded one after another. The enormous fireballs illuminated almost half of the universe, but they only allowed people to see the chaotic and gory scene inside the space-time swirls more clearly.
It was like the 'masterpiece' of a Brutalist artist when he was drunk. The nightmarish picture lasted about half a minute before the colorful, messy space-time swirls finally collapsed inwardly beyond control and perished at a visible speed. Several seconds later, the only thing left were glittering ripples that looked like jellyfish drifting in the current.
This was the real wormhole bomb!
The space gate had completely collapsed. All the star beacons were like the eyes of a blind man, unable to unleash the slightest brilliance anymore. The enormous reinforcements of the Imperium — the raging dinosaurs that had been ready to attack — vanished into thin air together with the wormholes of obliteration!
In the vacuum of space, the entire battlefield was caught in dead silence.
It was exactly the same as what every soldier, commander, general, Cultivator, and Immortal Cultivator felt on both sides of the Imperium and the Federation.
Everybody stared at the coordinates where the wormhole perished and at the colorful, glittering ripples in bewilderment.
Even the fleet commanders who boasted a high computational ability felt that their heads were blank at this moment. Shock, ecstasy, or desperation were all sealed inside their frozen nerves!
"How, how could this be?"
Ding Ling Dong, Bai Xingjian, Bai Xinghe, Jin Xinyue, Wu Mayan, Guo Chunfeng, Heiye Ming on Black Swirl, and the thousands of soldiers of the Union Army and the Black Wind Army were all bombarded by the deafening question!
"What is that?!"
Regardless of friend or foe, countless people cried out in alarm at the same time.
They all sensed a force that they had never seen before surging over from the debris of the space gate. They all changed the direction of the probe magical equipment.
At the coordinates where the reinforcement fleet of the Imperium was annihilated together with the wormhole, a magnificent figure slowly emerged from the depths of the colorful ripples of space and time.
The height of a Colossus was usually no more than fifty meters. Even the largest model was only around a hundred meters tall at best, which was just a grain of sand in the sea of stars. By logic, it should have been barely observable with the naked eye.
However, the magnificent figure that was dominating the sea of stars was not the Colossus itself. It was not even the flames of spiritual energy that it had triggered but the cosmic storm that was raised by the collision of its spiritual shield and the ripples of space and time that had not been completely obliterated yet!
The powerful radiation was its cape. The high-energy particles were dancing crazily around its body. The electric arcs thousands of kilometers long interweaved in front and behind of it, congregating into a path that pierced deeply into the Black Wind Fleet!
The giant made of cosmic storms tore apart the ripples of space and time, stomped on the path of lightning, spurted out the high-energy particles crazily, and rushed to the highest point of the universe like a tornado. A hundred meters, a thousand meters, ten thousand meters, a hundred thousand meters … It left an ineffaceable mark deep inside the pupils of every crystal camera, every piece of probe magical equipment, and every person!
Invisible threads seemed to have darted out of the giant's body and tied up everybody's heart in the space battlefield hundreds of thousands of square kilometers nearby.
Everybody sensed the suffocating spiritual waves clearly. In their trance, they even heard the deafening footsteps of the giant stomping on the lightning and the stars.
Was — was it a friend or a foe? What was it exactly?
Were the footsteps the drums that signaled the charge of the whole army, or were they the knell of death?
Everybody was waiting anxiously and helplessly in the extreme suffocation.
Ding Ling Dong stared at the radiation form of the enemy's spiritual energy that was scanned by the crystal processor.
For some reason, her heart was beating faster and faster. Her chest and cheeks were burning. Her lips were numb, and her eyes were filled beyond her control.
Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank!
She seemed to hear the sound of wind chimes when her blood was blowing against her eardrums.
Beep! Beep!
Urgent intelligence came from the highest command center.
The moment she saw the two words that were so familiar that they were almost unrecognizable, the wind chimes in her ears were ten times denser than before. Her nose seemed to have been twisted hard, and she could not help but burst into tears.
"You're finally back!"
…
"I'm finally back. Thankfully, I made it in time!"
Inside the cockpit of the Tartarean Skeleton, despite the thorough protection of Little Black, Li Yao was still affected by the intense interference of the ripples of space and time. Countless muscles and veins were torn apart, and he was bleeding badly.
It could not be helped. In order to boost the morale of the whole army and create the glamorous sound and visual effects, he had gritted his teeth and barged into the center of the ripples of spiritual energy that had not perished yet. He had even unleashed his spiritual energy crazily to resist the universe!
While he had created the awesome effect of sparks and lightning, he had suffered quite a lot of recoil, too.
However, it was all worth it!
He did not know how Ding Ling Dong, Jin Xinyue, and the thousands of soldiers of the Union Army did it, but they had truly resisted the Black Wind Fleet that had been strengthened by the extraterrestrial devils for such a long time and miraculously persisted until the arrival of the twelve Colossi of the Ancient Sages Sector!
"Thank you, Jin Xinyue, Guo Chunfeng, Wu Mayan, Ding Ling Dong … and everyone else. Thank you for the 'miracle'. Now, let me give you a new miracle in return!
"Roar roar roar roar roar!"
The Tartarean Skeleton roared in soundless roars. The powerful radiations and high-energy particles around the Colossus expanded and shone ten times brighter than before like a solar prominence, leaving an enormous silhouette that was almost pure white in the dark universe!
Three unlucky starships of the Imperium happened to be standing in Li Yao's way of moving forward.
They had been riddled with holes because of the hyperspace shock raised by the collapse of the wormhole in the first place. The gaps that penetrated through the bodies of the starships were spurting out flames nonstop.
Having no time to dodge at all, they were captured by the force field of the Tartarean Skeleton and absorbed into the attack range. They immediately exploded into three brilliant fireballs behind the Tartarean Skeleton.
Under the illumination of the fireballs, some of the starships of the Imperium that were relatively close finally detected the full appearance of the black-skeleton-like Colossus that was as hideous as the king of hell.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Beep. Beep. The crystal processor of the Tartarean Skeleton detected a request to connect to a new communication channel.
Judging from the code that the other party sent over, it was exactly the password that they had agreed on when they were still in the Hundred Flowers Space Zone.
Who would be the first person to talk to him in a hundred years? Would it be … her?
Holding back his excitement, Li Yao sent out a shivering telepathic thought and connected the ports of the Spiritual Nexus of the two parties.
"Li Yao!"
Ding Ling Dong's voice immediately raised thunderstorms in his eardrums, nerve endings, cerebral cortex, and soul.
Li Yao had never felt so suffocated even when he gritted his teeth and barged into the center of the space-time ripples just now.
As a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator and the dominator of three Sectors, he felt that his eyes and nose were almost flooded. Taking a deep breath, he reminded himself that he had to hold back his emotions and pretend that he was making a 'grand return', instead of crying or crying on his chest.
Li Yao forced himself to curl his lips and burst into laughter. "Honey, I'm back. Are you happy? Are you excited?"
Ding Ling Dong was silent for a moment. She was probably so excited that snot was flowing out of her nose. Even her voice was somewhat weird. "Well …"
"There's no need to say anything, honey. I know you!"
Even someone as straightforward as Ding Ling Dong was silent. Li Yao was even more excited when he thought of his wife's tearful face. Holding back the thunders in his chest, he said quickly, "I know that you missed me so much. Did I not miss you so much? But now is not the time for romance. Just get out of the way and rest up. Your husband will blow up all the Immortal Cultivators and the extraterrestrial devils as quickly as possible. After the scumbags are taken care of, we will have a great battle. I have a hundred years of beliefs that I would like to discuss with you! "
Ding Ling Dong: "Stop. Stop talking!"
Li Yao: "Huh. Something is wrong. You are not my wife! My wife is clearly a heroine, passionate and unrestrained, like a wolf or a tiger. When did she become so shy? "
Ding Ling Dong: "I am your wife, but this is not a point-to-point communication channel. Just now, I opened the communication port here to all our troops on the battlefield. All the Union Army will be able to hear our conversation."
Li Yao: "…"
Ding Ling Dong: "Hey, hey. Li Yao, can you hear me?"
Li Yao: "Sha, sha, sha, sha, sha."
Ding Ling Dong: "Li Yao! Li Yao! "
Li Yao: "What are you talking about? I can't hear you. Just now, some extraterrestrial devils seemed to have hacked my Spiritual Nexus and made some messy noises, but I've already taken care of them! This is the real me who is talking. Honey, what are you talking about? "
Ding Ling Dong: "… Your glamorous return has shocked everyone. Everybody can't wait to hear the voice of Vulture Li Yao, dominator of three Sectors. Now, do you have anything to say to all the soldiers of the Union Army?"
Li Yao: "The situation is urgent. What do I have to say? I hate people who babble before they take action the most! Soldiers of the Union Army, I am 'Vulture Li Yao', not 'dominator of three Sectors'. I am just a random member of your team! Let's fight side by side and march toward Black Swirl, the enemy's flagship. Every explosion that you see is my sound! "
