"If the conventional method doesn't work, then we'll use the unconventional method."
A warm voice suddenly came from the communicator. Then, a familiar wave of light appeared in the space behind the Empire's fleet. A large number of temples and towers slowly appeared from the wave of light. At the same time, the hyperspace firepower from all over the deep space weakened significantly. The images from the spy probes showed that there were more than ten waves of light that appeared simultaneously across the universe, suppressing the local New Army at the same time.
Except for the Sovereign Hub. The defense there was too tight and the enemy's desire for battle was insane. Even the Protoss couldn't do anything about it.
"The Protoss army has already gathered. The battlefield outside is basically continuous and under our control …" Xing Chen's figure appeared on the holographic projection of the communicator. Then, he walked out of the projection and glanced at Abyss Schilling with a smile on his face. "It seems that these results are meaningless now. Your other half of the soul is more troublesome than I thought. Frankly speaking, she's stronger than you."
"I admit defeat because I'm not as crazy as she is." Abyss Schilling shrugged. "What do you mean by the unconventional method? To destroy this universe under the New Army's full defense? The power of the Void Creatures? "
"We need some time to prepare and we need someone to divert the New Army's attention." Xing Chen nodded. He didn't waste time explaining the problem. He looked at the central projection, which showed a small artificial galaxy. There were three planets in the galaxy. The planets glowed with a metallic black luster and there were red veins that looked like blood vessels on the surface. It was obvious that they were artificial celestial bodies. "That's the Sovereign Hub?"
After getting our confirmation, he said to the air, "Hilla, I know you've secretly followed us. I'm here to help."
Hilla's figure appeared before everyone. She scratched her head and followed Xing Chen's gaze to look at the projection of the Sovereign Hub. "You want me to fight this? There are quite a lot of guards around this thing. Even the Void Creatures might not be able to kill so many people in one shot. There's still a process to mow the grass … "
"Create the illusion that the Protoss is attacking the Sovereign Hub at full force. You understand my power fluctuations very well, and you also understand the combat style of the Star Region Protoss. You should know how to cover up my presence," Xing Chen explained his thoughts unhurriedly. "I'm going to use some special power, but if the New Army notices it in advance, they'll activate a defense on the World Barrier. It might be a little troublesome."
"Oh, I'm covering for you." Hilla waved her hand. "You want me to lead your troops to attack this … this sovereign hub? Using my power to conceal your energy waves? Tsk, you're still as cunning as you were back then, always thinking of crooked ideas. But I think it's quite fun. Then you can use your big move here, I'll go first. "
As soon as she finished speaking, Hilla had already disappeared from the command hall. Then, we saw the light wave behind the Empire's fleet rapidly shrink and leave the area in the blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, the light wave had already appeared in the sky above the enemy's sovereign hub.
Xing Chen and Hilla were quarrelsome lovers who had developed a tacit understanding of each other through countless years of chasing and fighting. They were even familiar with each other to the point where they knew each other's troops like the back of their hands. King Huron was like a true Star Region War Envoy as he commanded the Protoss army to attack the sovereign hub with ease. Xing Chen, on the other hand, stood still under our curious gaze.
"What are you doing?" I couldn't hold it in any longer and poked Xing Chen's arm. "Where's your big move?"
"Wait for a moment, I'm observing this world," Xing Chen said calmly. Xing Chen said calmly. His eyes didn't fall on any part of the hall but spread out without any focus, as though he was staring at a "target" that didn't exist. Seeing his strange actions, we knew that this was probably a powerful big move, so we all quietened down and didn't disturb him. But to be honest … I still didn't feel any strange energy waves. Xing Chen said that he wanted to destroy this universe, and it was even an "unconventional" method. In theory, it should be an incredibly powerful move, but he was just standing there quietly … staring blankly?
"You'll soon realize that this isn't that difficult. This is the instinct of Void creatures and not any 'skill.'" Just as I was getting more and more curious, Xing Chen suddenly smiled and said something to me. At the same time, I saw his eyes suddenly become incomparably deep.
Incomparably deep … but there didn't seem to be any changes. It was still a pair of dark eyes that didn't seem any different from usual, calm and indifferent, with a calming power that made one feel at ease. There wasn't even the slightest change in his gaze. But when I couldn't help but look at those eyes, I felt as though I was looking at the entire universe.
It really was the entire universe … all the information of this world was reflected in those eyes. He was "observing" this world. Just like the literal meaning of the words, he was using his eyes to see everything in this world, up to the vast space of billions of light years, down to every microscopic particle. All the information of the entire universe was condensed into a snapshot and seen through by those eyes. This method of staring at the world seemed to be very similar to the unique feeling of "returning to the Void," but it also seemed a little different. This feeling was controllable, something that a Void creature's subjective consciousness could control …
And when this deep feeling appeared, I finally felt the power of Void that instantly filled this world. It seemed to be very easy to sense … but Sandora and the others still seemed to be in a daze. Could it be that only Void creatures could sense such power from their own kind?
But before I could think any further, Xing Chen blinked.
In the instant that he blinked, the entire universe disappeared from the Void creatures' vision.
From a "symbolic meaning," it was the equivalent of the entire universe disappearing into the Void.
And so, the world disappeared. It was completely erased in the blink of an eye in the span of 0.01 seconds.
The New Dawn Army's sovereign core didn't resist at all, as all of its attention was focused on the Protoss army. Otherwise, the sensitive equipment created by Schilling technology would probably have been able to detect this "gaze." But the fluctuations of this gaze were still too small, and the slightest bit of carelessness would have been missed. And so, the Protoss enemies didn't even know that their universe had just been observed by a pair of terrifying eyes for a moment. It was precisely this small mistake that caused them to be unable to activate the defense on the World Barrier (from what Godfather had said, this defense seemed to be able to resist the "gaze," or at least stall for time). And so, the defense line that they were so proud of was broken through and destroyed in an unimaginable manner.
The World Barrier had been erased, and the entire universe's mathematical system, physical system, and space-time system had also disappeared. This wasn't the end of the world at all, because there wasn't even a "process of the end of the world." Everything had disappeared into thin air, as if the entire universe had never existed in the first place. The New Dawn Army's sovereign core was still able to survive and operate in the Void environment, but its broadcast interference device was closely related to the physical universe. When the entire world disappeared, this broadcasting device was no longer of any use.
The starry sky in front of us suddenly disappeared, and everything fell from the physical universe into the Void Sea in the blink of an eye. The damage caused by this process was astonishing. The Empire fleet and the Protoss were already prepared for this. When Hilla led the feint attack to the sovereign core, they had already activated the Order Field. However, it was obvious that the New Dawn Army was unable to react in time. The instant that the Void poured into the Void destroyed almost seventy to eighty percent of their power. Only the sovereign core and a few large bases were spared. They endured the damage from the Void and activated the Order Field, but they were no longer of any use.
"There's a gap in the interference layer. Charge in!"
Sives's voice resounded throughout the command hall. Soon, this order was relayed to the entire fleet. The Empire fleet shrunk the Order Field to cruise mode, and the Void Engine began to operate at full power. Their target was the Tranquility Core that had finally been exposed to the navigation system.
It turned out that it was already so "close" to us. In fact, it was only a warp away. However, the interference from before was too strong, and the Void Navigation System couldn't even locate this world.
In the instant that the entire fleet accelerated, the ship's mainframe suddenly sounded an alarm. "Unknown Order Field detected approaching. Enemy intercepting forces have arrived. Beginning deployment of beacons … Beacons failed. Enemy Order Field approaching. Close combat units, prepare for battle. "
"Looks like they really don't want us to barge into their experimental field." Accompanied by the sound of electric arcs, Belavilla's figure suddenly appeared beside us. The usual dessert shop manager had returned to being the powerful Queen of the Empire. She was wearing a black uniform similar to Raven's, and there seemed to be sparks of energy flowing between her silver hair. Belavilla looked at the holographic image before her, and her tone was a little impatient. "These fellows are really good at pestering us … We have to think of a way to lure them away."
The Void Influx caused by the collapse of the universe didn't destroy all the enemies. Twenty to thirty percent of the New Army's fleet survived, and they were the most elite ones. After the physical world collapsed, they fell into the Void Sea together with the Empire's fleet. Now, these scattered troops were gathering to intercept the Empire's fleet. In the vast Void, the Orderly Field was as eye-catching as a light bulb, and the Empire's fleet was the largest group of Orderly forces in the area. Its Orderly Field was so eye-catching that it was like an extra-large light bulb.
The Empire's fleet was like a galloping beast, and the scattered interception troops that gathered from all directions were like termites. The images from the external monitors quickly showed the scene of the Orderly Field being eroded: the borders of the Chaos fleet were violently twisting like a vortex, and indescribably colorful orbs of light stirred the barrier between the Orderly Field and the Void. Then, a large number of Abyss battleships painted in black and red emerged from these colorful orbs!
What welcomed them was long-prepared cannon fire. The expedition and frontier fortress ships had a large number of secondary cannons, and were very suitable for close combat in a narrow area like the Orderly Field. That was why Xi Wei had placed these battleships around the fleet in advance, so that they wouldn't have to rely on the dimensional device to attack the enemy. After all, the dimensional device consumed a lot of energy and greatly affected the stability of space. In a special 'battlefield' like the Orderly Field, it was best not to use it if possible.
Speaking of which, the Orderly Field was never used as a battlefield from the start! Aside from suicide attacks, who would fight the Empire's fleet at such a distance?!
Any enemy that invaded the Orderly Field would basically be bombarded with high-energy reactions the moment they showed their heads. Many battleships were blasted into pieces before they could fully enter, and were then completely devoured by the unstable Void around them. But the enemy had no fear, and more battleships surged in from all directions, and their attacks were getting fiercer. The scene on the borders of Chaos was distorted and horrifying, and when the number of enemies reached a certain level, the Imperial Army's close-range cannons finally couldn't keep up. With a heroic explosion, the first expedition battleship disappeared under the enemy's suicidal attack.
But the gap in the close-range cannons was soon filled by another group of heavy firepower maniacs.
A group of silver-haired girls who looked exactly like clones appeared in the space outside. Their bodies were wrapped in blue and white sparks, and their entire bodies even showed obvious characteristics of energy. Their hands were pulling huge 'lightning' beams, and they leaped and flashed between the battleships like a group of elves weaving lightning.
Light, but dangerous.
The Ravens were like other heroic soldiers, a large portion of them were directly under the Royal Fleet, but they were not part of the regular combat force. They were special soldiers with powerful combat abilities, and played a role in the cracks of the battlefield. The Scorpions specialize in infiltration and occupation, the Queen Bee specialize in support and reinforcement, and the Ravens specialize in using the energy environment in the battlefield to create a large area of effect that is impossible to defend against. They are the secondary arsonists of the battlefield, able to detonate the dispersed psionic energy. When a battleship was destroyed, its energy would leak into space, and its power reactor would gradually cool down. To others, such a battleship wreckage was useless, but to the Ravens … it was very suitable for detonation.
In the later stages of a battle, the battlefield was littered with wreckage and high-energy clouds, and both sides only had a few surviving troops to continue the bombardment. The appearance of a group of Ravens meant that something interesting was about to happen: the battleship "Corpse Explosion".
The group of lightning elves had already reached the periphery of the fleet. They were small in size, and there were not many of them. Walking on the huge hull of the battleship was not noticeable at all. If it was not for the surveillance cameras following them, no one would have noticed these petite figures. But soon, their presence became apparent. The battleship wreckage floating around the fleet suddenly lit up in blue and white flashes, and even the enemy's dark red mutated psionic energy was forcibly converted by the Ravens into their own energy source. The fleet's joint shield rippled, and countless huge 'lightning' pierced through the above energy sources, connecting everything together.
The various energy clouds that were connected by the psionic lightning quickly formed a vortex-like structure, and at the bottom of each vortex was an excited Raven. The more chaotic energy around them, the happier they were, because it meant a bigger explosion!
They collected the free energy on the battlefield, and drew more energy from the battleship's psionic shield, and finally compressed it into a translucent energy ball with a radius of a few hundred meters. These light blue 'lightning balls' rose from the vortex, and some of them had piled up and compressed into a small ball of battleship wreckage. They flew towards the enemy at the speed of light!
Of course, the enemy had also noticed these dangerous and strange things, but when they tried to dodge, they found that there was no way to avoid them. The speed of the 'lightning balls' created by the Ravens was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, the space outside the Empire's fleet was filled with these sparkling giant balls.
Continuous explosions filled all the surveillance cameras, and the enemy's attack was suppressed in an instant.
"Hmm, this bunch of stupid girls have grown up, as expected of my clones." Seeing the Ravens achieve such a great result with their joint spell, Belavilla had a nonchalant look on her face, but there was a hint of pride in her tone. However, her relaxed attitude didn't last long, because after the first batch of enemies were defeated, more enemies emerged from the chaotic boundary of the Field of Order!
"Is this not over yet? Do you want me to take the field personally? " Suddenly, a burst of psionic sparks rose from the Raven Queen's body, as though she was going to take the field personally, but just as her voice trailed off, the psionic glow on her body suddenly dimmed. "Sh * t … at this time …"
The surging aura of Belavilla only lasted for a few seconds before vanishing into thin air. I felt that her entire temperament had changed, and then I heard her signature greeting, "Ah — Chen — Hello —"
At that moment, I knew that the Raven Queen had dropped the ball at a crucial moment.
Belavilla didn't take action in the previous battle, in order to conserve her strength, and to prevent her from using up too much energy and falling into a deep sleep. However, when the Empire's fleet was under attack, she couldn't help but take action personally. It was probably because she had used up too much energy that the consciousness that belonged to Belavilla was forced into a deep sleep, and Silvia, who didn't know how to do anything other than cooking, appeared in front of us …
"Can I help —" Silvia was still speaking slowly, as though she hadn't reacted to the situation in front of her. I didn't bother to listen to her finish, and immediately waved my hand. "Finding a place to lie down and sleep would be the greatest help. Hurry up and recover your energy!"
Under the constant harassment of the enemy's stragglers, the load on the Void Engine of the Empire's fleet was increasing. The Void Engine had to use a higher output to maintain the Field of Order, and the power to move forward was naturally insufficient. Although it was impossible for the enemy to intercept us outside the Core of Tranquility, we couldn't afford to waste any more time! We couldn't afford to waste even a minute!
Just as I was thinking about how to deal with the enemy, Icetis suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "What are those servant soldiers planning to do?"
I immediately looked at the screen of the fleet's own surveillance cameras, and realized that the fleet of the Empire's fleet was quickly leaving the Imperial Army's formation, and right behind them was the Eden Federation's fleet and the Hessian fleet!
They were charging towards the chaotic boundary of the Field of Order!
