When a heavy crisis was chasing after you, you would feel that time was so confusing. You despised it for being too slow to solve the problem, but you despised it for being too fast to prepare for everything. That was the dilemma we were in now.
But everything still came.
Around six hours later, the Empire fleet finally reached the limits of the twin sisters' navigation system after a series of accelerations and decelerations. Further ahead was absolute Chaos, a bizarre zone where no laws existed.
It was not a zone of chaotic laws, but a zone where there were no laws at all! A complete vacuum, a vacuum in all aspects. Sandora's guess was completely confirmed. This was not outside the battlefield, but the previous explosion had wiped out the battlefield itself.
"The Void, or at least a similar Void." Sandora's hair glowed with a golden radiance. "Apart from the lack of Void energy, this place is exactly the same as the Void … Relay my orders, all low-level warships are to enter the mothership's force field. Low-level apostles are to return to the spatial folds, and the mothership's force field is to be fully activated. We are preparing to enter the Void!"
In this strange place, even the smallest spatial warp would cause unpredictable consequences. Therefore, this time, the fleet's transformation was completed by using conventional engines. This process took about thirty minutes, and during this time, we released more than ten probes in all directions. However, once they left the protection of the mothership, they all turned into dust in the void without exception.
"I never thought that there would be such a dangerous place in the Black Sun. It must be man-made."
As Sandora spoke, she stretched her hand forward as if she was clenching her fist to grab onto something.
"I'm going to crush it, no matter what it is!!"
The fleet advanced cautiously, all scanning systems operating at full power. But since the Basic Laws were ineffective, the scanning range was greatly reduced to within the Admiral of the Empire's force field, which was almost the limit of what the naked eye could see.
That was why, when the warship's alarm sounded, we saw a strange shadow suddenly appear in the distant Chaos.
It was the first time we saw something with a physical form in the Black Sun. Although we had come into contact with physical items when we 'salvaged' the Protoss's relics from the pseudo-existence zone, those weapons and equipment had only been separated from the Chaos by the space probes of the salvage ship. On the other hand, the strange shadow in the distance had appeared directly in the darkness. It was the only real substance in the Black Sun of Chaos, and it was obvious that it was the source of everything.
Moreover, that thing was strange. In the dark surroundings, it was a black dot the size of a grain of rice. No matter what, it was impossible to distinguish it with the naked eye, not even with a titanium eye. However, with just a glance, I could clearly see the shadow in the distance. Although it was the same color as the surrounding background, it seemed to have some kind of magic power that could easily identify its existence with just a glance.
We didn't return to the bridge but stayed on the platform on top of the Admiral of the Empire. In this strange place, the bridge might not even provide much protection. A projection system appeared in front of us, displaying the image of the target scanned by the probes.
"What is that?"
I asked curiously. What appeared in front of us was a strange structure. I couldn't see it clearly, but I could easily distinguish its basic shape. It was made up of three large rings. The three rings were nested together and had a common axis. With this axis as the center, they formed an acute angle with each other. It was slowly moving, and the angle between the three rings was constantly changing, but it was always within the acute angle. At the center of this strange structure was a large black ball. This was the second time I had seen such a strange scene. On the pure black background, there was another object that was also pure black but extremely sharp.
"King's Landing -class. That is a King's Landing -class Dominator ship!!"
Sandora's voice was filled with surprise. She looked at the slowly moving ring-shaped object on the holographic projection and gasped.
"A ship!?" Shallow Shallow was shocked. "This bunch of hula hoops doesn't look like a ship, does it?"
"Then the cross under your feet looks like a ship?"
Just as I said that, Shallow Shallow withered …
Alright, now wasn't the time to discuss Schilling's aesthetics. We refocused our attention on the enormous ring-shaped structure.
I had seen some information about King's Landing -class ships before, but due to the lack of information, the information only described the general abilities of King's Landing without any corresponding pictures. That was also why I didn't recognize the pile of … hula hoops at first.
This type of huge warship was a monster that was born from the development of Schilling's ideology of war to a certain extreme. It looked like a bunch of concentric rings that were angled at each other. At first, I had almost confused these rings with Visca's Star Circle Corridor, and my imagination ran wild …
Despite its strange appearance, no one dared to doubt the terrifying might of King's Landing. That was because in the core region of King's Landing, within the distorted space formed by the overlapping concentric force fields, three ultimate weapons were hidden: Revelation, Genesis, and the Book of Gospel.
The ultimate war support system Revelation that could control the state of an entire galaxy, the offensive weapon Genesis that could instantly annihilate an entire star, and the defensive component Book of Gospel that could resist the end of the world. When these three super weapons were combined, even a galaxy with advanced military technology would be toyed with by King's Landing. That was why King's Landing -class was also known as Schilling's ultimate warship. Even 'Glory', which was ranked above it, could not compare in terms of destructive power.
However, the King's Descendant also had a huge flaw. The terrifying energy required to activate all three major components at the same time required seven days of slow charging even with the help of void energy. In order to install and control these three extremely complex components, the King's Descendant had to sacrifice all of its conventional weapon systems and eighty percent of its armor. As a result, the King's Descendant's only means of attack were its three ultimate moves. Before the three ultimate moves were fully charged, the King's Descendant was practically a live target. Inside the layers of concentric rings, there was an astonishing amount of energy flowing everywhere. Such strong interference prevented the King's Descendant from equipping any form of energy shield. Therefore, as long as the King's Descendant could penetrate the King's defenses, destroying this exceedingly terrifying behemoth would be as easy as turning one's palm. But under normal circumstances, fighting against the King's Descendant's defenses was as difficult as surviving under Genesis …
"Time appears with that mysterious warship as the center," Shallow Shallow said confidently. "I can also feel that the flow of time in the entire space is more stable the closer it is to that hula hoop. It's like a source of radiation, radiating the law of stability across the entire black sun."
Alright, baby, your analysis is very professional, but please don't use the term hula hoop to randomly name the most outrageous warship in the Empire, alright?
A Law-class weapon. I've finally seen a Law-class weapon created by the Schilling's people. Of course, in scientific terms, it should be called a 'Cosmic Law Weapon'. Even though its appearance is tear-inducing, its power has left every one of us in awe.
According to Sandora's analysis, the warship's activated component should be a 'Revelation', a Law-class weapon that can conduct macro-control over an entire star system. Since it can distort the universal constants and even the laws of the universe within an entire star system, it would naturally be a piece of cake for it to create a Law of Time within the black sun. Without a doubt, that was what the enemy was planning to use against us.
In that case, it was only natural that the so-called 'Revelation' that had been pervading the Kepru Sector was also its power. Using the nature of the Laws, it could create a false truth that "the Schilling's are invaders" within the Kepru Sector. This wasn't too difficult of a task, and it was no wonder that the ordinary races were so deeply affected by the 'Revelation'.
In an instant, I guessed the most likely enemy: The Fallen Apostle!
Other than that bunch of lunatics, who else could use a warship from the Xiling Empire to deal with us?
However, I'm really envious, jealous, and hateful of them … We're still busy researching technological locks here, but they can even bring out a King's Landing -class warship!
"Boss! What do we do now? Go straight up and loot their equipment? It doesn't seem to have any armor! " Liliana had completely given up on trying to communicate with Jingle. A green halo floated around her, and the little girl was full of fighting spirit. I was certain that as long as I nodded right now, this little girl would shout "In the name of the Goddess! Dismantle that pile of circles and forks for me! "as she charged forward with a ferocious slogan that could make anyone collapse.
I also cast a questioning gaze at Sandora. Liliana's words weren't unwise. Although the King's Landing -class Ruler was powerful, it was also well-known for its fragility. Currently, there weren't any enemy defenses nearby, so perhaps we could succeed in directly destroying it.
"Let's wait a little longer. I still feel that it's a little strange …" Sandora furrowed her eyebrows. "Where's the enemy? The Fallen Apostle used a series of arrangements to trap us in this trap. Could it be that they feel at ease leaving everything to an unmanned spaceship? "
"As expected of a cautious enemy, Princess Warsong, Sandora Kelvi Ulysses." Just as Sandora finished speaking, an extremely ordinary middle-aged man's voice suddenly rang out beside us. His voice was a little hoarse, as though there was sand flowing in his voice. "If you really charge straight at me, it would really save me quite a bit of trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, a faint gray shadow gradually appeared in front of us and gradually became clearer. It was a mass projection of a man in a black cloak, but his entire face was hidden in the deep shadows of the hood, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.
"We meet again, Emperors of the Empire … Oh, of course, this is the first time we've met." The mass projection of the mysterious man stood leisurely less than ten meters in front of us. His voice was calm, as though he wasn't facing a group of Empire leaders who could destroy an entire civilization in an instant, but a few harmless ordinary people. Then, he lifted his head slightly. It was still dark under the hood, but I noticed that his gaze was focused on a small figure next to me. "Ah, look who this is? 7535, it's been a long time, little clone … "
Visca's body instantly stiffened, as though she was about to lose control. But in the next second, she regained her composure. She leaned over and hugged my hand gently. "Ockham, this kind of thing can no longer anger me."
"Oh? Your mind seems to have stabilized? That's a cause for celebration, a cause for celebration. This way, you might be able to experience … Mm, experience the joy of death … "
As the mysterious man spoke, his tone was actually unpretentiously friendly, and even had that ordinary sense of intimacy. This made me even more wary of him. This kind of enemy was definitely a hundred times more dangerous than those idiots who would bare their fangs and brandish their claws at me. He was more like a venomous snake in the dark, quietly hiding its deadly fangs.
"Who is this uncle?" I asked Visca through the mental connection. The latter's reply sounded extremely disgusted. "Ockham. He gave himself the title 'Honest Man', but in reality, he is the most b * stard of conspirators … In Azeroth, he was in charge of supervising the construction of the World Circuit. But at that time, my condition …" Visca paused and then continued awkwardly, "Anyway, other than that, I don't really understand this guy. The only thing I can be sure of is that Ockham isn't someone who is good at fighting."
"Erm, uncle, can you take off your hat before we fight?" The fearless Liliana negotiated with the other party without any scruples. "I'm not used to talking to a clothes rack."
The man named Ockham was stunned. Just like everyone who came into contact with us for the first time, regardless of friend or foe, it would take a long time to get used to dealing with a big family like us …
I pulled back Liliana who was causing trouble and looked at the mass projection not far away. I guessed that the other party's main body was on the huge circle as I asked, "All of this, is it your trap?"
"How can you say that it's a trap?" The other party's tone was sincere. "I only wrote a script, and you cooperated with me to put on a show … But I really didn't expect that you would cooperate to such an extent … You obediently came to eliminate the zerg, obediently restrained by the three races, obediently gave me time to prepare this small gift … Finally, you obediently took the initiative to come to this gorgeous tomb that I prepared for you. To be honest, if I were in a different position, I would really like to say … Happy working with you …"
Ockham's voice carried obvious interference towards the end. His projection trembled in front of us and gradually faded. In the end, with a sharp whistle of energy, he vanished into thin air. At the same time, the black "Dominator Ship" in the distance …
At the same time, the black Ruler Ship in the distance … No, it should be said that the Ruler's Ring was gradually changing.
At the same time, the black "Dominator Ship" in the distance slowly rotated in the holographic projection. The angle between the three concentric circles gradually shifted. There was a red glow gradually emerging from the pitch-black core, just like a black eyeball covered in blood vessels. Then, the entire King's Landing was enveloped by a thin layer of gray barrier.
"As expected … It is the punishment form of the Gospel," Sandora revealed a look of understanding. "Luckily, we didn't attack rashly earlier."
The moment Sandora said that, I began to search for all the information about this kind of abnormal spaceship in my head. Finally, I found the relevant information in a corner that had been labeled "Knowledge of Different Dimensions, Mortals, Retreat."
The Gospel was basically the most heaven-defying defense system that the Schilling people had ever created. It was even considered to be an impenetrable barrier except against the armies of the gods. Although the fragility of King's Landing was well known, it possessed such an ultimate defense component. Once the Gospel was activated, the King's Landing could even allow it and its surrounding army to resist the end of the world!
That's right, resist the real end of the world. For example, if the final end of our universe was a singularity during the collapse, then once the Gospel was activated, it could directly push back the collapse of the universe. This thing had extremely strong rules, even reaching the level of a rule. It was defined as "any non-direct rule attack that is threatening will definitely cause the lowest damage." And this lowest damage was an outrageous level 1, slightly greater than the power of Jingle's bite. Although the collapse of the universe was a product of the rule, it itself was not a rule attack.
And the punishment form of the Gospel was an extension of this defense component. It was a compensation module designed to make up for the shortcoming of the slow activation time of the Gospel. Before the Gospel was activated, it would form a slightly weaker defense but extremely wretched force field: it would reflect 90% of all attacks below the rule level.
If the Empire fleet had fired all their cannons at once, we would have lost more than half of our forces.
Now that the gray barrier had appeared, it proved that the Gospel had finally completed its long preparation and was fully activated. It would no longer reflect any damage, but we wouldn't be able to make even a small dent in it!
At first, I didn't believe it, so I ordered the Imperial Admiral and all the Eternal-class warships to use their Galaxy Main Cannons to fire. But it turned out that the bug-like shield was really powerful — the huge energy beam didn't even make a splash on the gray barrier!
"Is there any way to break that thing?"
I gloomily looked at the circular ship that was still spinning leisurely on the holographic image. I was so angry.
"There aren't many ways to fight against King's Landing. The first is to kill it before its shield activates. This is the easiest way, and even a heavy frigate can do it, but it's obviously impossible now. The second is to use rule attacks. No matter how strong King's Landing is, it's not at the level of pure rule equipment. Its defense system isn't high against rule attacks, and it's only equivalent to a normal psionic shield. But right now, the Empire fleet only has a handful of rule level equipment, and none of them can attack. The third method is to wait for the enemy to attack. The powerful interference from Genesis's attack will temporarily disable the Gospel. The enemy has no defense force, so we can destroy King's Landing in an instant. But there's no way Ockham didn't think of this. The fourth method is … numbers!"
Numbers. This was a theoretically feasible method. As mentioned before, the Gospel was something like an "enhanced damage definition system". It could define any external attack to a minimum value, but this value still had damage. Yep, to reiterate, it was equivalent to the power of a bite from Jingle. So, if the number of attacks reached a certain level, even if they were all weakened to "1", countless "1" s would be enough to destroy King's Landing.
But now, the problem was …
How many times would Jingle have to bite to shatter a bunch of Ring of Domination with a two-thousand-kilometer radius?
