In the center of the Garu Star Cluster …
After encountering the scout team, the expedition team gathered all their troops, adjusted their direction, and jumped toward the location of Atimo's fleet. At the same time, Atimo's fleet was also heading toward the direction where the scout team had disappeared. The two teams were closing in on each other, and the distance between them kept decreasing.
After two days of hyperdrive, the two teams finally met in an area of the universe.
"We finally found the enemy." In the tens of thousands of spaceships of the expedition team, the players looked at the densely packed metal battleships outside the porthole, and they could not help but feel energized.
The players formed their own teams one after another. China's Four Big Guilds and the first-rate guilds were no exception. The members of the clubs formed their own teams, while the core members of the guilds and the peripheral members sat in their spaceships to protect their own team members. This was not to protect them, but to help their own team snatch the Boss.
[Annihilation of the Great Cosmos Corps] was a faction series mission, and there were many side missions. Most of them were team missions, and the ones with the highest rewards required the killing of the enemy's combatants, leaders, and even the number of these people was limited.
This was especially so for 'Great Emperor' Atimo. There was only one kill, and while it was not a solo mission, only one team could share the mission reward. Every club wanted to help their own team obtain the highest reward.
The players of Dynasty, Temple of God, Long Sky, and Fried Eggplants were all in their own teams, and the three pillars of Long Sky were discussing their strategy.
Sleepy Winter stroked his chin and said, "According to the reward level, the enemy's leader, Atimo, should have Grade A combat strength. We can only kill him with numbers."
Twinkle Fried Rice said, "If that's the case, the team that attacks him first will be in the most danger. If we want to snatch the kill, it's best for us to slack while dealing damage and let the others pull the aggro. Only the team with the highest damage output will be considered the kill. If we're killed by the boss, it'll take too much time to revive and run back. We can only deal damage if we're alive."
Hao Tian nodded. "That's right."
On the other spaceship, Mad Blade also formed a team with his own team. He even pulled Maple Moon along, and the two of them had a good relationship.
Mad Blade tilted his head and looked out the side window. Beside him were rows of battleships in formation. The guilds were clearly gathered together, clearly different from the normal players. Seeing this, Mad Blade shook his head helplessly. "With so many guilds trying to snatch the boss, I think our chances are slim."
Rivervale's vice-captain, Evil Sword, had high morale. "As long as we don't die, we might not lose in terms of damage output. This kind of Unique Boss won't just stand there and wait for us to attack. Whoever deals more damage will be the biggest threat and will be attacked by the Boss first. We might be able to survive until the end."
The players were all experienced and knew that the bosses in Galaxy were very difficult to deal with. For normal people, battles were ever-changing, and they would rarely be aggroed by one person. Instead, they would attack whoever was more useful in the battle first. They would prioritize eliminating the most troublesome opponent. The battle style was very realistic.
Therefore, when players fought Bosses, it was very easy for the aggro to be messed up, and they had to improvise.
Maple Moon smiled at the side and did not say anything. She looked around at the army and was secretly excited.
Such a huge scene could be said to have been created by her, and she had single-handedly triggered the Faction Crusade Mission. She was filled with a sense of accomplishment and joy.
Because she was the one who triggered the Faction Crusade Mission, compared to the other players, she had an independent mission. When the Great Cosmos Corps was destroyed, she would receive additional rewards that the other players did not have. She would receive a large amount of experience and Exploration Points, 300 Red Empire Contribution Points, and 1,000 Black Star Corps Contribution Points.
This was probably the reward for handing over the mission item to the country.
This reward was extremely generous, and Maple Moon calculated that she might even become the highest level player in the game.
Meanwhile, in the Russian and Australian troops, Vodka and Captain Old Henry led their guild members to prepare for battle. They also wanted to snatch the boss.
Although the players from their respective clubs did not come along, if they could prevent the Chinese players from snatching the boss reward, it would be equivalent to helping their own players. Although the Russians and Australians had suffered some losses on Planet Pangurus, they still had their responsibilities and did not wish for the Chinese players to be so arrogant in front of them.
At the same time, Atimo, who was facing off against the expedition team, was also observing the Black Star Corps.
"The other party only has slightly more than ten thousand battleships, and we have the absolute advantage in numbers," the adjutant said.
Atimo nodded. He had over a hundred thousand battleships, which was almost ten times that of the enemy. The difference between the two parties was too huge.
However, the Black Star Corps actually had ten thousand battleships, which was definitely not a small number. Atimo was shocked by this. In his impression, every battleship required a huge amount of resources to build, and the time required to build it was extremely long. The strongest race that he had met before only had a few hundred battleships.
He originally thought that the quantum technology was the only advantage of the Black Star Corps, but he did not expect that the Black Star Corps' fleet was not weak either.
No wonder they sealed off the information and did not want to let me know that they had such a large fleet. They probably wanted to catch me off guard. Atimo thought to himself as he broke out in cold sweat.
In order to gather over ten thousand battleships, the enemy had definitely mobilized all of their forces. Luckily, he had brought all of his troops with him. If he had only sent a small team like usual, he would have been in deep trouble.
Indeed, it was the right decision to go out personally.
Atimo's eyes flashed, and he slowly said, "Send a message to the other party. I want to talk to their leader."
In his eyes, this was a battle where both sides had mobilized all of their forces. The Army Commander of the Black Star Corps had always been mysterious and had never appeared before. Atimo wanted to see what kind of person the Army Commander of the Black Star Corps was. To actually have over ten thousand battleships, he felt that this fellow had the right to talk to him.
After a while, the adjutant said with a trembling voice, "The other party refused to talk to us. They said … they said …"
"What did they say?" Atimo narrowed his eyes.
"They said that you don't have the right to talk to their Army Commander."
Atimo laughed with a hoarse voice. He was not angry at all, and there was even a hint of mockery in his laughter.
I don't have the right? Who else is more qualified than me?
Forget it, people are going to die anyway, so there's nothing to be calculative about.
Atimo shook his head and lost interest in talking. He waved his hands and slowly said, "Attack and annihilate them!"
After the order was given, the 100,000 spaceships opened fire at the same time. Countless cannonballs were shot into the expedition team's formation like a storm, causing countless explosions.
Atimo originally thought that he would see the enemy suffer heavy losses, but what happened next caused his eyes to freeze.
When the flames dissipated, not a single one of the ten thousand battleships of the expedition team was destroyed. Although they were few in number, they wanted to surround the enemy fleet that was ten times their size!
The next moment, the ten thousand spaceships accelerated, and due to their speed being much faster than the spaceships of the Super Large Cosmos Corps, Atimo's troops did not have much time to react before the ten thousand spaceships charged into their formation. This was the battle method that the players favored the most, and they were not willing to use the annihilation weapons of the spaceships to end the battle quickly because there was no experience to be gained.
The players charged into the enemy's spaceships through the charge cabins and slaughtered all the members of the enemy's spaceships.
The concentrated fire of the enemy's spaceships could not break through the shields of the army's spaceships, and the players were not worried about being surrounded at all. There was only one thought left in their minds.
Dance with my Peerless Chaos!
The majority of the players had never experienced such an exhilarating experience before. With the superiority of the faction's technology, this battle was like a grass-cutting game.
The ten thousand spaceships charged through the Great Cosmos Corps' fleet and charged toward the center of Atimo's fleet. No one could stop them, and the enemy's formation was instantly torn apart.
Charging felt good for a moment, but charging continuously felt good!
In the flagship of the fleet, Atimo stood up and tore off his mask. His expression changed drastically, and disbelief filled his face.
Their weapons were completely useless against the enemy!
In just a short while, close to twenty thousand battleships had been captured by the enemy, and not a single enemy spaceship had been destroyed!
"This … this is impossible … how can there be such a huge difference in technology? How can they all be Supers?"
Atimo was no longer as calm as before. He suddenly realized that he had hit an iron wall this time. The enemy was a civilization that was even more advanced than him … a civilization that could completely crush him!
He had been rampaging in this universe for far too long, and he had not met an opponent that could threaten him for a long time. He had long forgotten what respect and fear were. Now, the scenes of his fleet collapsing had once again awakened the taste of fear in his heart. His hands that had once killed countless living beings could not help but tremble.
He saw the future of his entire fleet being wiped out.
Atimo suddenly remembered something from a long time ago. Back then, the Great Cosmos Corps was just an ordinary wandering civilization with only a few spaceships. They were still very weak, carefully exploring the universe, overcoming difficulties time after time, and gradually becoming stronger. However, he did not know when it started, but he had actually lost this caution that he relied on to survive.
If he had not been so reckless and planned properly before the battle …
If he had not been so arrogant and cautiously sent people to investigate …
If he had not been so easily angered and affected by the provocation of the Black Star Corps …
Perhaps the current outcome would not have occurred …
However, he did not know that this was just his own wishful thinking. In front of overwhelming strength and intelligence, no matter how much he tried to act, the objective outcome would not have changed.
Now, no matter how much Atimo regretted, it was useless. The excited players wantonly slaughtered and destroyed Atimo's fleet. The casualties quickly exceeded one-third.
The army was defeated like a landslide. The overwhelming combat power caused the remaining enemy ships to lose their courage. No one wanted to stay behind and be slaughtered. They all began to flee. The huge fleet fell apart and fled in all directions.
"Retreat!" Retreat! "Atimo came back to his senses and hurriedly roared out the order.
Very quickly, the main ship and the surrounding frigates turned around and joined the fleeing army.
The Great Cosmos Corps had arrived aggressively and fled in panic. It had only taken them less than twenty minutes to do so.
The spaceships of the various large guilds abandoned the fleeing enemy spaceships and went straight for the main ship. Everyone wanted to snatch the head of this Boss. As for the enemy spaceships that were fleeing in other directions, they were chased down by many ordinary players who had not completed the requirements of the other branches and were quickly nibbled away.
Philip had already locked onto the position of every single battleship through the quantum link. Even if the enemies could escape now, there would still be players chasing after them.
When the battle started, Philip had hacked into the database of the main ship and copied all the information of the Great Cosmos Corps, including the information of the various planets that they had plundered over the years. The dynasty had already obtained the information that they needed, and all that was left was to eliminate the source of the problem. Philip would only provide support and leave the rest to the players.
Very quickly, the fleeing fleet that Atimo was in was left alone. He only had a few hundred frigates around him, and he could only flee pathetically.
Philip controlled the spaceship of Atimo and the others remotely and forced them to land on a desolate planet. The pursuing players descended and surrounded Atimo.
…
At the center of a fresh crater, the main ship that was the size of a mountain range was stabbed into the ground with black smoke billowing out. Countless parts and the wreckage of the other frigates were scattered around.
This ship was Atimo's flagship, and when Philip forced them to land, he had very considerately turned off the engine of the enemy ship to save them energy.
Ka ka ka!
Figures walked out from the wreckage of the battleship one after another. The armor on their bodies had helped them resist the impact, but it was almost completely destroyed. However, the fall from such a high altitude still killed most of the ordinary members, and less than ten percent of them survived.
The wreckage of the battleship was on fire, and black smoke billowed out. Atimo held his head as he walked out. Even with his strength, he was still dizzy from the fall, and every bone in his body was aching. Looking at the heavy casualties around him, Atimo could not help but look around with a blank expression.
Right at this moment, a huge gust of wind blew, and army battleships descended along the edge of the crater, surrounding Atimo and everyone else.
Atimo raised his head and looked around. Countless figures appeared on the towering cliffs around him. They were all players chasing after him, and countless lustful gazes locked onto him.
There were more than three hundred thousand players in the first wave, including the players from the various large guilds.
"I can't escape …"
Atimo was a prideful person, and facing such a situation, he could not help but feel grief and anger.
"You want to kill me? Come on then! " The next moment, Atimo suddenly roared, and the dozen or so mechanical tentacles behind him opened up like a peacock spreading its tail. Yellow laser beams shot out in all directions at an astonishing speed. This was the weapon that he always carried around with him, and it was used to help him control his Esper Ability.
His Esper Ability allowed him to shoot energy lasers through his body, and the form of the attack would change according to the area of the laser beam. For example, if he shot from his palm, it would turn into an energy shockwave, and if he used his fingers, toes, tentacles, and other parts of his body, he would be able to shoot accurate beams.
In close combat, his fists and legs could also be imbued with energy attacks. If he released energy from his entire body, it would turn into a shield. This was a very practical Esper Ability.
Atimo was the strongest individual in the Great Cosmos Corps, and his Calamity Grade Esper Ability allowed his lasers to be far more powerful than ordinary energy weapons. He could be said to be a super humanoid cannon.
His arrogance stemmed from his confidence in his own strength. Among the natives of the Flickering World, there were very few who had reached the Calamity Grade, and he had never met an opponent who could wipe out an entire planet all by himself.
While he was surrounded, Atimo did not lose all hope. He was very confident in his own strength. While these enemies were all Supers, none of them seemed to be his match.
If he could kill all these pursuers, he might still have a chance of survival!
With that thought in mind, Atimo regained his morale, and he began to attack crazily.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
As the lasers shot out, the players hurriedly dodged. These lasers struck the ground, creating huge craters with a diameter of dozens of meters. If a level 100 or above player was hit, while they would not be killed instantly, they would be left with only a sliver of health.
He was indeed a Calamity Grade Super! The hearts of the players tightened.
This was the first time they had ganged up on a Calamity Grade Super without the help of an NPC.
Everyone was a little uncertain. They had seen quite a number of elite Calamity Grade Supers in the secret war, and almost all of them could kill them instantly. No one knew if they could kill a proper Calamity Grade Supers with their current level.
"It's time to fight the boss!"
Without much hesitation, more than three hundred thousand players jumped down from the mountain walls in all directions and began to charge.
Whether they could win or not, they would know after charging forward.
Since they were not going to die, they might as well charge forward!
