That silly bird was still jumping around restlessly a second ago, and in the next second, she turned into a ray of light and disappeared from the command hall. The entire process happened so quickly that I couldn't even react. Should I say, as expected of the future Goddess of Messengers?
"Medivh!" My elder sister called out after realizing what was going on. She looked around worriedly. "Where did that girl go?"
"She didn't go far …" I was just shocked, but I soon realized that the little crow's spiritual senses were still around the Empire General. I thought that she was going to rush out to fight with someone, and that scared me. But it was good that she didn't go far. But what was that silly bird trying to do?
I felt that the little crow's thoughts were as unpredictable as Shallow shallow's. She still retained a trace of wild animal habits, and her behavior was naturally different from ordinary people. Her thoughts were jumpy, and her actions were also very strong. Only a few people could control her, just like now. It was a dangerous enemy zone outside, and the fleet was about to break through the enemy's space blockade. Outside the joint shield, the sky was filled with cannon fire, and that silly bird actually ran out without a sound. Although she didn't go too far, it was enough to scare me.
"Little Bird, hurry back." I called the silly bird's pet name in the spiritual connection. "It's dangerous outside."
"Caw! I'm helping Master to clear the way! " Little Raven's energetic voice echoed in my head. I could imagine the scene of her bouncing around the Empire Admiral's outer shell as she spoke. She wasn't afraid of the terrifying scene of the cannons raining down from the sky outside.
Sandora immediately connected the image of the external surveillance camera, and we soon found the silly bird. She was indeed perched on the armor belt of the Empire General, and she had now turned into her God form: a storm crow that was a few hundred meters long. The huge black Crow Goddess landed on the outer shell of the spaceship and used her claws to clasp the metal gap below to prevent herself from being thrown out. She looked up at the flashes that kept bursting out of the dense shield in the distance, lowered her head and rubbed the shell of her mouth, then suddenly opened her mouth and screamed.
Of course, no sound could be heard in a vacuum, but the caw of the Crow God was obviously not a simple "sound wave". I saw ripples visible to the naked eye spreading out in all directions with Little Crow (I should call him Big Crow now) as the center. In the blink of an eye, they reached the edge of the fleet. Then, the translucent ripples gathered together, forming a structure that looked like a space bubble, and then silently shattered …
"Spatial interference has disappeared. The warp engine has been activated." The voice of the mainframe of the spaceship rang throughout the command hall.
The Empire's fleet was suddenly enveloped by a distorted light curtain, and then disappeared into the vast space. The enemy's cannons lost their target, and could only bombard the zone of spatial tremors that had not yet completely calmed down. Violent white light expanded into a heart of a star with a big explosion, tearing the space here into even more pieces, and at that moment, the Imperial Army was already hundreds of millions of light years away.
"That bird seems to be getting more and more familiar with her power …" After the teleportation was completed, I realized what had just happened: without a doubt, Little Crow had used her special power to reshape the structure of space. The specific process was unclear, but the enemy's barrier had failed.
Of course, there was more than one barrier. There were almost a hundred barriers on the way to the white pillar of light, and they were like layers of nested spherical shells that completely protected the starting point. The Empire fleet would have to face subsequent disturbances when breaking through a barrier, and the cooldown period of the warp engine would also be long because of that. But now, it seemed that there was no longer a problem: Little Crow once again rubbed its beak on the arm of the Empire General, and then let out another silent screech into the surrounding space, accompanied by translucent ripples visible to the naked eye, and the enemy's disturbances disappeared just like that.
"Keep up with the rhythm, full speed ahead!" Sandora ordered loudly from the edge of the platform, and the entire fleet just passed through layer after layer of interception net around the starting point. Ultra dimensional firepower was still emerging from all directions, but now they could no longer keep up with the Empire fleet's footsteps … the naughty brat had done something amazing!?
"But why does that bird have to rub its beak every time?" Icetis also had the time to spout nonsense now. She looked at the huge shadow on the holographic projection, stroking her chin with her finger. "She's still pecking on the outer shell of the spaceship … Does she think that she can dig out food from under the armor plates?"
"She's a bird, after all." I did not know whether to laugh or cry, and could only shrug helplessly. "It's probably similar to how you usually dry your wings. Although it's useless, it's just a habit."
Icetis' eyes widened as if she was about to explode, but before she opened her mouth, I diverted her attention. "We seem to be getting close to the starting point … I really can't believe the distance judged by the naked eye."
Yes, the fleet was getting close to the starting point, but the optical characteristics of the light pillar did not conform to the normal dimensional rules. When we were tens of billions of light years away from the starting point, it looked like a huge light pillar, and now that the fleet was less than a light year away, it still looked like a light pillar of about the same size … There was a slight change in size, and it seemed to have grown larger as we got closer, but it definitely did not conform to the visual perspective that came from tens of billions of light years away!
Based on the current size of the starting point, it should have looked like a thin line when we were about a few dozen light years away, but its radiance extended to tens of billions of light years away, and it did not seem to have shrunk much from that distance. I even suspected that this light pillar could be seen from the ends of the universe, and it would be about the same size, and about the same brightness!
"Its light is the same as Holy Light and psionic energy, it can be transmitted at superluminal speed, which is equivalent to a substantial information broadcast. This is probably the reason why the starting point can produce such a strong information disturbance." Xing Chen could tell part of the characteristics of this thing at a glance, but he seemed to be a little confused. "What will it look like when it is fully activated? The light that it emits should shrink … otherwise, all its information will 'evaporate', and it will cause the Void Bridge to slowly collapse. "
"Let's hope that we won't be able to see it fully activated today …" Abyss Schilling did not have the same interest in research as Father. She spoke as she searched for the shadows of her fleet in space. "We should be close to the battle zone soon. Ivanova is leading the remaining troops to attack the port, but they are blocked outside. Logically speaking, we should be able to see the flash of the psionic energy explosion from this distance … "
Just then, there was a sudden 'plop' next to me. The little crow fell out from the cracked spatial door. She looked around dizzily, then grabbed my arm and lifted her head to open her beak. White smoke rose from her beak …
The lady's slightly tired voice sounded in my mind. "Caw! I can't scream anymore, caw! "
I quickly brought Medivh, who had made a great contribution, to the side to rest. I also took a leather tube from a nearby water intake and put it in her mouth. The moment I opened the water valve, the final spatial seal collapsed. The fleet made use of this opportunity to make a final jump.
The fleet appeared on a battlefield where an intense battle was taking place.
In space twelve astronomical units away, two armies were fighting to the death. They had the same black and red battleship paint and used the same dark red mutated psionic energy. However, they looked like they would not stop until one side was dead. One side was obviously much larger than the other, and had the complete advantage. This superior army had built a huge joint defense line, and within the defense line, there were a shocking number of space cannons and shield broadcast towers. The space cannons consisted of a cannon body that was a few kilometers long and a propulsion and anchor device behind it. It was called the army cannons, and it was a standard defensive weapon. Obviously, this superior army was the local defense force.
Behind the defense force's joint defense shield was the magnificent white light pillar. From this distance, I could roughly see how big it was. Its radius was almost two-thirds the size of the sun. In the middle of the light pillar was a broken and twisted crack. These cracks were like a chaotic space storm forming a sphere. The inside of the light pillar slowly expanded and contracted as if it was breathing. When it expanded to the limit, it even showed signs of exceeding the boundary of the light pillar. It was obvious that it was in the final moment of full activation. Occasionally, I could see a small black spot inside the sphere formed by the space crack. The size of the spot was so small that compared to the white sphere outside, it looked like Jingle lying on someone's head. However, I recognized the black spot at a glance. It was the Gate of the Abyss.
The activation terminal created by Abyssal Schilling was activated on the basis of a Gate of the Abyss. But the Gate of the Abyss was just a "primer" for the activation terminal. As long as the degree of stability was met, its size was not important. After the Void Bridge was built, its entrance and exit would definitely exceed any Gate of the Abyss. Now, I could see this: the experimental port that Abyssal Schilling built here had been completely swallowed by the expansion of the activation terminal.
Since this was the New Army, the other fleet that was fighting with them was naturally the two armies that Abyssal Schilling mentioned.
I believed that the experimental port that Abyssal Schilling built was built on a natural star system. The Gate of the Abyss, which was the location of the activation terminal, should be next to the sun. Of course, the sun had been swallowed by the light pillar, but there was still the gravitational pull of the star around it (perhaps it was also related to the strange characteristics of the activation terminal. It was a challenge to all kinds of scientific knowledge). Meanwhile, the two armies under Abyssal Schilling were now fighting on a huge gaseous planet. This gaseous planet should be the only celestial body left in the star system. This planet was grayish-blue in color, with messy lines on its surface. High-speed planetary hurricanes spewed out from its upper atmosphere all the way into space. Next to this magnificent grayish-blue planet were the two ace armies of the "Old Army". They had been fighting on this completely fallen world for many days, and they could still fight today … perhaps only the Royal Fleet of the New Empire had this kind of combat power.
"Don't connect the two data networks directly. I'll transfer the communication." Abyssal Schilling glanced at me and then patted the large box behind him. "If it's just to establish communication, the bandwidth of this device should be enough."
A temporary communication channel was quickly established. While the enemy concentrated their firepower on the Empire's fleet, the incoming signals from the two armies were also transferred to the communication device in front of us. The holographic projection flashed and showed a slightly blurry figure. It was a slightly slender woman with pale skin and long, straight purple hair. Although her face wasn't very clear, it was still possible to see that she was full of heroic spirit.
"This is Ivanova. I'm so happy to finally see the reinforcements."
So this was Ivanova … the younger sister of the expressionless and taciturn Ivanthain?
A Fallen Apostle who had been fighting for several days in the Abyss had finally received reinforcements from the New Empire. Next to her was a large group of Protoss troops who were fighting for reinforcements. Such a scene would have been a little strange in the past. Even now, there were many things that were worth complaining about, but now wasn't the time to think about such things. Sandora nodded slightly and ordered the Empire's fleet to move closer to the grayish-blue gaseous planet while attacking the enemies around the white pillar of light. I looked at Ivanova and asked, "How's your situation?"
"The fleet is in good condition, but it's a pity that we still can't break through the enemy's defense line." Ivanova didn't seem to be as taciturn as her brother, but she didn't waste any time either. She briefly explained the current situation of her troops and the enemy's defense line. Finally, her gaze landed on me. "I used to think about what it would be like to fight against you, but it seems that I won't have the chance now. Life is unpredictable."
I was stunned. As expected of the Shiring Apostles. They probably only think about how to crack open people's skulls all day long … It seemed that before I formed an alliance with Abyssal Schilling, I had been targeted by many Fallen Apostles.
Abyssal Schilling glanced at his subordinates and said, "We'll talk about this later."
The Empire's fleet quickly arrived next to Ivanova. At the same time, the Protoss troops, who had been maintaining a distance from us, started their battle formation not too far away. They didn't participate in the battle during the entire process and received the best protection. Now, this method of preserving their strength was finally starting to show its effects. From the brilliant and glorious tide of light, an astonishingly large army surged out. This was the Divine Army that the Protoss, who were adept at making use of their advantages in the later stages of the battle, had painstakingly created it.
The Protoss troops were like an undulating sea of light on the battlefield. They seemed gentle and calm, but as time passed, if you didn't weaken them in time, the army that surged out from within would be a huge surprise to both the enemy and the allies.
The glorious Divine Army launched their first wave of attack fearlessly, which immediately diverted the enemy's firepower. Although the first wave of attack was made up of cannon fodder, it was even more powerful than a volley from the Imperial Army. In fact, many people who had fought against the Protoss had been overwhelmed by this terrifying tactic of "not attacking for half a day, but taking them out in one wave" after dragging it out for too long. Therefore, when fighting against the Protoss, one must never drag it out, let alone ignore their "tide of light". Because you had no idea when they would come out with a temporary army that was tens or hundreds of times larger than yours …
Of course, as the Shiring Apostles, the New Army wouldn't be defeated by this "not attacking for half a day" wave. They were just a little flustered, but they quickly used their powerful firepower to withstand the Protoss's attack. Then, the Empire's fleet began to engage the enemy head-on.
At this moment, a dark red shadow slowly appeared from behind the grayish-blue gas giant.
This dark red shadow was obviously a planetary battleship. Its size was between that of Earth and Mars. Like most of the Fallen Apostles' battleships, its black alloy ground was flowing with blood-like red energy veins. But unlike ordinary planetary battleships, apart from these energy veins, there was also a large number of dark red arrays floating tens of thousands of meters above the surface of the planet. These arrays weren't runes, but more like psionic networks constructed out of thin air. These floating networks pulsated with the energy veins on the surface of the planet as if they were breathing. Every "breath" would produce an information outburst.
"Ivanova's glorious form," Abyssal Schilling introduced. Abyssal Schilling explained. As I expected, this was the crux that allowed the two armies to fight in the enemy's territory until now — Ivanova's Glory Barrier.
A single Glory starship could turn the tide of an entire war. This was because every single Glory starship possessed miraculous power. Pandora's Glory could easily destroy any target other than Glory. Visca's Glory could maintain an invincible state for a long period of time (although that lass had never used it before). Sandora's Glory could unconditionally control everything on the battlefield (even inanimate objects were no exception). Halland's Glory could endlessly S/L, and every single one of them was an almost unsolvable bug. So, just what power did Ivanova's Glory have that allowed the two armies to last until now when surrounded by enemies five times their size?
Very soon, we would find out … Because Ivanova had also extended her power to the Imperial Army, every Empire battleship of medium size and above immediately discovered that their shields had become … a damage definition system!
"She can grant a 100% planetary shield to all allied battleships, and there's no limit to the number of shields that can be used, as long as the protected target has enough shield energy." Abyssal Schilling smiled. "The only weakness is that her Glory can only last for a few days. If we go up against Shallow Shallow, we'll probably die a horrible death … Also, if our army isn't large enough, the effects will be greatly reduced. But now, we can fight without worry. As long as we don't let the enemy's bombers get close to us, the planetary shield won't be broken so easily."
Me: "…"
This was the reason why Glory starships could turn the tide of a war: they usually didn't play by the rules!
There were strong and weak Glory starships, and there were also the weaker ones and the more overbearing ones. Apart from the two common abilities of 'Industrial Foundation' and 'Undying Soul, Undying Glory', Glory starships all had different additional abilities. I only knew of a limited number of Glory starships, but without a doubt, Ivanova's Glory …
She would definitely be the strongest no matter where she went, especially when she had a large fleet of battleships. Anyone who went against her would be disgusted to death.
Probably only Halland's limitless S/L could compare to her.
