Li Yao felt that he was an iron giant that had been reborn in the middle of furious fire.
The more his soul was combined with the crystal processor, the more a certain strength that was hidden in the deepest part of his soul would spurt out and adjust the balance between him and the crystal processor, allowing his senses and his mind to extend to every tube and every corner of the floating fortress without any hindrance.
Right now, he was the floating fortress.
The shell of the reactive armor and the fully-automatic turrets was his solid body.
The complicated tubes and cables were his veins and nerves.
The crystal reactor that was activated to the maximum and triggered a temperature of thousands of degrees was his abdomen.
The central control crystal processor group made of dozens of super crystal processors was his brain.
All the crystal cannonballs in the arsenal that were carved with aggressive rune arrays and roaring like tigers and dragons were his fists of fury!
"Shua!"
Li Yao's vision was immediately expanded by ten times. He scanned and locked onto more than five hundred targets large and small a hundred kilometers away. They were the reinforcements that had come in a hurry after discovering that something had gone wrong with the Devil Child Project.
They were divided into two columns and slowly opened like tongs. One of them was here to stall Li Yao, and the other was going to bypass the floating fortress and chase after the 'children of heresy' such as Chu Zhiyun, Thangka, and Little Tiantian.
Naturally, Li Yao would not allow them to succeed.
A hundred kilometers was still far beyond the effective range of most of the weapon systems on the floating fortress. Even though the firepower could cover the area, the accuracy could not be guaranteed.
However, that was before, under the 'general status'.
"Taste this, you resurrected corpses!"
Li Yao burst into laughter. While he was laughing crazily, dense data and aiming lines appeared in his vision and tied up the five hundred and seventy-two targets, which were all the high-speed reconnaissance vehicles and low-altitude attack starships that posed the greatest threat to the 'children of heresy'. Then, more than a thousand light balls popped up in the direction of the enemy. All the crystal cannons, railguns, and thermal-fusion cannons were boosted by his spiritual energy to 200% higher than the maximum output. It was needless to say that the heavy crystal cannonballs more than one meter in diameter were tied up by his spiritual energy and revolved at a high speed while they were still on the rails, significantly increasing their speed, range, accuracy, and damage! BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! With the enhancement of Li Yao's soul, the floating fortress was as intimidating as ten thousand cannons. Thousands of straight pillars of light entangled with the askew exhaust flames into a destructive web of fire that covered the sky within a hundred square kilometers. It was already late at night, but it was illuminated as if it was daytime! Beep!
Beep! Beep!
Beep! The Crystal Suit, the armed shuttles, the crystal tanks, the battle puppets, and the low-altitude attack starships of the Holy League all the magical equipment that could send out warnings were sending out the most earsplitting warnings. The sharp waves were almost breaking the limits of the light beam, representing the unprecedented high-energy reactions!
Most of the reinforcements who had arrived in a hurry only knew that the floating fortress where the 'Devil Child Project' was implemented had been invaded by the enemy, but they did not know that the enemy was such a tricky person as' Black Wind King 'Li Yao. Even if they had guessed it, they could not have foreseen that Li Yao could blow out such a destructive force on his own!
Almost a hundred armed shuttles and battle puppets took the brunt of the attack and were crushed by Li Yao's web of fire mercilessly. They were immediately burnt and exploded into smithereens in the colorful blasts.
The Crystal Suit and the crystal tanks in the rear raised their spiritual shields in time, but they were also riddled with holes. Intense black smoke was popping up as they swirled and fell to the ground.
The low-altitude attack starships in the rear resisted Li Yao's bombardment by brute force, but their spiritual shields were also discolored because of the bombardment. The mystic rays and waves that were scanning the uninhabited area were seriously jammed, and the traces of the 'children of heretics' were lost.
Their attention and firepower were all deeply attracted by Li Yao. With such a big fish as' Black Wind King 'Li Yao, who would be interested in the small shrimps such as Chu Zhiyun, Thangka, and Little Tiantian?
…
Three hundred kilometers away, deep inside the uninhabited area …
The 'children of heretics' heard the deafening explosions behind them and sensed that the blasts that turned into strong winds after rushing five hundred kilometers were hitting the shells of their carriers nonstop. They all opened the covers of their carriers and craned their heads out after putting on their goggles.
Then, their eyes were so deeply attracted by the glamorous view on the horizon that they were almost blinded.
At this moment, the dim sun had long set, and the entire continent was enshrouded in darkness. Because of the smoke and the venomous fog that enshrouded the atmosphere, they shouldn't have been able to see the moon and the stars however wide their eyes were opened.
However, not only did they see the red 'moon' and the golden 'stars', they also saw a burning, raging sun that was releasing the most brilliant vitality nonstop. It was rising higher and larger, almost dyeing half of the sky gold and tearing apart all the darkness that enshrouded the land brutally!
Although they were three hundred kilometers away, the broken waves of Li Yao's spiritual energy were still falling on the heads of the 'children of heretics' like burning snowflakes.
It was like an extremely dazzling golden drizzle that drizzled down, and it nourished their scarred souls.
"So splendid. So … beautiful!"
It was the first time that the young people had seen such a magnificent and unbelievable battle scene in their lives.
For them, perhaps it was an out-and-out 'miracle'.
Some of them could not help but extend their hands to grab the burning snowflakes, but the snowflakes were always extinguished and dispersed before they were caught, leaving only vague warmth that crawled into their hearts through their palms.
"Is it Black Wind King Li Yao?"
Wearing the goggles, Chu Zhiyun stared at Li Yao's direction and the burning horizon in a daze. The horizon seemed to be the last defense line that Li Yao had built for them. No matter how many enemies there were, Li Yao would not allow them to take even one step closer.
As Chu Zhiyun watched, hot tears flowed out of her eyes again like flowing crystals that were shaking in the goggles.
"Monitor …"
As they watched, one of the 'children of heretics' asked, "I don't understand. Why is he doing this? Is he helping us for no reason? However strong he is, it must be very difficult and dangerous for him to do this, right? "
"I don't know."
After a brief silence, Chu Zhiyun shook her head and said, "Perhaps, it will take us a very, very long time, if not our entire life, to find the answer. But I vaguely have a feeling that the moment we find the answer will be the moment when we become real human beings and become people like him!"
Her words cast all the young people into deep thought.
The flames that looked like a volcanic eruption hundreds of kilometers away were deeply etched in their eyes, turning into an ineffaceable mark.
…
Li Yao, who seemed to be dominating everything, was in the process of exhaustion at a visible rate. He was soon running out of steam.
The floating fortress that he had invaded and controlled was not a combat model with super firepower after all. It had been modified into a large mobile experiment base.
Most of the fuel and ammo warehouses on the standard models had been transformed into prison cells and laboratories, which meant that the ammo and fuel base he carried was seriously insufficient. After the reckless bombardment just now, all the ammo warehouses and fuel warehouses had been emptied one after another.
Besides, the automation of the floating fortress was not so high that it did not require any personnel to operate it. The soldiers who were still staying in the floating fortress would obviously not obey Li Yao's orders. Instead, they would respond to the call of their companions and sabotage the fortress from inside, like the bugs in Li Yao's stomach.
There were too many troops stationed on Black Castle. When they arrived incessantly, they had all boosted their spiritual shields to the maximum and marched forward like tortoises with their shells. How could Li Yao be a match for thousands of soldiers if they were to compete with Li Yao in terms of attrition?
Very soon, the hundred cannons of various types on the attack level of the floating fortress were all overloaded and scrapped because of the lack of replacement parts and coolants.
A lot of important facilities inside the fortress were occupied by the soldiers, too, and the connection to the control center was cut off. It was like Li Yao's' nerves' had been cut off. His brain was no longer connected to his eyeballs, cochlea, and skin.
It was needless to say that the attacks of the army of the Holy League had also hit the floating fortress ten times denser than before, riddling the floating fortress with holes. Explosions were raging everywhere. Even the anti-gravity system could not be maintained any longer. It was falling lower and lower, and it was spinning like a top, unable to maintain its balance anymore.
Li Yao's soul was as empty as the ammunition and fuel warehouses of the floating fortress.
In the meantime, he had bought enough time for the 'heretic children' so that the young people could successfully disappear into the black valleys.
It was time for him to smile and walk away, concealing his accomplishments and fame.
"Let's go!"
Li Yao called the mental devil affectionately. "Mission accomplished. Let's call it a day. If we don't go now, we will really be surrounded by a thousand enemy starships. Our souls will be blown apart, and our parents won't be able to recognize us anymore!"
"I know."
The mental devil said coldly, "But we can't leave."
If souls could sweat, Li Yao would've been soaked in cold sweat right now. "What do you mean by 'can't leave'?"
"You think I don't want to leave?"
The mental devil said calmly. "Since three minutes ago, when we loaded the last round of cannonballs into all the cannons, I've been trying to withdraw from the chaotic battlefield. But I failed. The interference was too severe. The fierce barrage of the two parties seriously disrupted the spiritual and magnetic fields in all directions, entering a certain 'full-band blocking state'. Waves of whatever form they are in cannot be transmitted out undamaged."
Li Yao was dazed for a long time. He tried to release part of his telepathic thoughts to the outside world.
Sure enough, the originally unobstructed air had turned into a viscous swamp, and the swamp was filled with thorny brambles.
With the feebleness of his soul right now, without the protection of his body, it was barely possible for him to move at all. He would be ripped into shreds after flying no more than fifty kilometers.
"Damn it. I've run into such a sh * tty thing again!"
Li Yao cursed in a low voice. "Why didn't you say anything just now? Also, you seem to be quite calm when the situation is so grave."
"Yes."
