Ever since he arrived on this planet, Muru had been very calm, at least on the surface. Ten thousand years had turned his hometown into a distant memory in his mind, so even when he saw the scenery of Solenne, he could accept it calmly. But this peace was finally broken. When he saw the crooked, bug-like, greyish-white battleships, the anger in his voice could be heard even through the communicator.
"Don't panic, I'll shoot them down." Hao Ren immediately locked on to the three spacecrafts, and then activated the secondary cannons on both sides of the Petrachelys.
At the same time, the three spacecrafts above the city in the distance had also noticed the presence of the Petrachelys. The pilots of the spacecrafts could not understand why a third spacecrafts had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. But to them, the spacecrafts that appeared on the battlefield were all enemies. The three spacecrafts immediately spread out, and a series of curved metal plates on their flanks began to emit layers of halos.
The moment the halos spread out, the Petrachelys' radar temporarily lost its target lock. It looked like they were some kind of interference device, and this made Hao Ren look at the technology of these treacherous children in a new light. But soon Nolan recalibrated the fire control system, and then the secondary cannons on both sides of the spacecrafts fired at the same time.
Bright blue beams shot out from under the armor belt of the Petrachelys, and without delay hit two of the spacecrafts in the distance. One of the spacecrafts seemed to have been hit in a vital spot, and its shield flickered violently before collapsing. Then a series of bright fireballs erupted from the curved body of the spacecrafts, and the entire body was torn apart in the explosion, turning into a mass of burning metal waste that slowly slid down to the side of the city. But the other spacecrafts successfully withstood the Petrachelys' bombardment, and its shield seemed to have been temporarily strengthened, and after the violent flashing, it was still intact.
Then the counterattack came in front of the Petrachelys.
A few chaotic glossy spheres appeared out of thin air, and they stuck to the shield of the Petrachelys. From the chaotic light spheres, a gray, corrosive fog extended out, and the fog constantly neutralized the energy of the shield. Nolan immediately issued a warning. "Shield power down!"
The Petrachelys had once withstood the attack of the will of the planet of Io, and its shield strength was almost indestructible in the mortal world. But this time, it was damaged so quickly. While the damage was small, it was enough to show that the weapons used by the treacherous children were very different from ordinary mortal forces.
This was the difference of 'essence', and it meant that the treacherous children had really stolen the power of the true God.
Not only did Hao Ren focus on destroying the weird lobster-like spacecrafts, but he also had the MDT quickly collected information of the treacherous children, including their weapons and shield forms. He was very interested in the chaotic light spheres fired by the enemy. "What is this? Energy weapon? "
"It's an energy weapon, and it also has the power of divinity." The MDT sounded very interested. "Originally, the Petrachelys had a certain amount of divinity, so any attack from the mortal world would be weakened by a certain percentage, but these light spheres have successfully broken through this limit … Interesting, while there are other civilizations in the void that can do this, but a civilization limited to this universe can also do this. That's very unusual."
Muru's voice rang in the communicator. "It's simple, all their knowledge of divinity is stolen."
"It doesn't matter how they studied divinity," Hao Ren collected the necessary data and placed his hand on the control panel of the weapon system. "They're all dead anyway. The dead from ten thousand years ago, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. "
The weapon system was activated again, and the iconic blue beam of the psionic cannon tore through the air like a torrent of light, forming a bright river of light between the Petrachelys and the two enemy spacecrafts. The space around the beam was eroded by psionic energy, and like glass being broken, it quickly cracked and crumbled, and the two weird lobster-like spacecrafts turned into fireballs in the huge explosion, splattering scorching metal and molten liquid all over the sky.
Nolan had memorized the weakness of the 'lobster-like spacecrafts' shield in the first attack, and she recalibrated the cannon, so the second attack was a one-hit kill.
As the two enemy spacecrafts blew up, the chaotic light spheres that stuck to the Petrachelys shield also quickly disintegrated, and the shield neutralization phenomenon ended.
"Minor damage, no problem," Nolan reported the ship's condition. "Phew … It's pretty nerve-wracking for the first time, playing this from a first-person perspective is not good for the heart."
Hao Ren casually replied, "Do you have a heart?"
"I now have three types of engines, two energy furnaces, two mainframes, and a thinking core, and you're asking me if I have a heart?" Nolan looked at Hao Ren as if she was looking at a clown. "I can just pick any one of them and use it as a heart, okay?"
Hao Ren was speechless.
The battle ended faster than expected, and it only took a few minutes from the exchange of fire to the crash of all the enemy spacecrafts. As only the Petrachelys' secondary cannon was used in this battle, the damage to the surroundings was much smaller than expected. The most significant damage came from the collapse and material assimilation caused by the psionic beam passing through space. The aftermath of the collapse of space slightly affected the surface, and before these aftershocks were naturally weakened by the laws of physics, some things on the surface were torn apart. But for this devastated world, a few more trenches on the ground did not seem to affect it.
In the air, the spatial rift caused by the psionic cannon attack was slowly closing up. Hao Ren avoided these dangerous traces, and once again lowered his altitude, cruising at low altitude towards the distant ruins of the city. Lily casually muttered, "Seems easier than I thought. I thought those treacherous children were more powerful."
Muru heard Lily's muttering, and he immediately corrected her attitude. "That is just their basic weapon, a gadget for fighting in the atmosphere. Their interstellar spaceship and the 'Gate of Chaos' are the real threat. I guess your spaceship is no match for those things."
"Is it possible to encounter the interstellar spaceship and the Gate of Chaos here?" Hao Ren asked.
"… That's not very likely. That is a huge space weapon."
"Then the safety factor is much higher," Hao Ren exhaled. "The Petrachelys can completely deal with those lobster fighters. But don't let them come out in groups … That thing's attack method is really weird, it's like eating shields, and if there are a lot of them … "
Before Hao Ren could finish, Y 'lisabet suddenly jumped up and stuffed her little fist into his mouth. The little demon hung on his neck and shouted nervously, "Stop it! Stop it! Daddy said you have a jinx! Please don't say it! "
Hao Ren silently turned his head to look at Y 'zaks, who coughed twice and pretended to tie his shoelaces — although he did not have any shoelaces on his shoes.
"It seems that there are no more enemies," Nolan said, widening her eyes — a set of sensors installed in the upper armor belt of the spaceship. "There are no energy fluctuations consistent with the three spaceships just now. There are no other energy sources in the city. "
"There should be a firefight here just now," Hao Ren frowned. "Since there is a firefight, there must be resistance … Did they die just now?"
No one could answer his question. All Nolan could do was to drive the spaceship into the city and show the tragic scene below.
This was the city built by the guardian giants. Although it had been completely destroyed, one could still see the glory and grandeur of the city.
Especially the grandeur.
Muru's compatriots preferred solemn black buildings, so the entire city below had this color. Huge buildings like quadrangular towers could be seen everywhere in the city. They were hard and orderly, and each of them was at least hundreds of meters high. These black houses were made of a material between metal and stone. Their surfaces were inlaid with a kind of green crystal. The crystal shone brightly as if it had a life of its own. Even after the destruction of the city, it still shone. In places where the collapse of the city was less severe, there were pipes and trestles supported by crystal and metal in the air, which intertwined into a complex but orderly aerial structure. Perhaps it was some kind of transportation facility, or maybe it was a pipeline for transporting materials.
And the biggest feature of all of this was its size.
"Where do we go next?" Nolan asked Hao Ren's opinion.
Hao Ren thought for a moment and asked, "Where did the three spaceships take off from?"
Nolan used a beam of light to point somewhere in the city on the holographic image. "Near the largest building."
