When I was very young, the sky was still blue, the water was still clear, and boys and girls living together were still pure. Two girls chatting and drawing together wouldn't be mistaken as lesbians, and two boys peeing and playing in the mud wouldn't be mistaken as gay friends. In that beautiful era, I and the other brats shuttled through the sea of lolis every day, but I was hopelessly unaware of it. When I had the time to look at the female protagonists in the anime, whose two large eyeballs took up one-third of the screen, I didn't know how to explore the resources around me. That was the idyllic and luxurious time of my life. Every time I think back, I feel sad … I've definitely gone off topic.
Actually, I'm just thinking back to the days when I stayed at home playing video games on Saturdays and Sundays. The previous pile of sighs was purely a buy one get one free.
Video games … I have to say, during my elementary school years, the NES was already outdated, but in a family that was barely supported by a girl who wasn't even fifteen years old, I actually had the weekend to play video games. It was truly a miracle. At that time, it was difficult to understand what kind of suffering my elder sister went through for us to rely on the meager assets left behind by our parents. Now, I can more or less understand a little. Whenever I think back to that period of time, my heart would always feel a little sour and happy.
And along with this happiness, it became an indelible memory of the classic crossover shooting game family of the past — — Look, no matter how far off topic I went, I would always be able to run back.
Against the monotonous black universe background, you were a silly 15 × 15 dot matrix pixel, surrounded by strange alien monsters of all shapes and sizes. There were spheres, squares, triangles, and so on. You needed to continuously press AB and shoot all over the sky, destroying all the strange geometrical objects that floated over with the intention of molesting you. At the same time, you had to fantasize about how you would look like in the vast and boundless space with dazzling fireworks scattering in all directions — — The limitations of the NES made it so that the children of the NES era could only use their brains to deal with the pixels. Of course, this was also why there weren't many H games in that era.
Of course, this was also the reason why there weren't many H games in that era, the NES was so heavily censored that one's imagination couldn't help but be unable to think of what one was thinking at the beginning … … I finally understood why my elder sister was worried that I would get into trouble without anyone following me. She understood my personality too well.
What I want to say is, the scene in front of me now, I can't help but think of the red and white arcade games I played when I was young.
The dark and monotonous starry sky — even the most dazzling stars were just a few pixels in your eyes at this scale. The sky was filled with flashes of cannon fire, which was the light of their own fleet that illuminated the dead space. Of course, there were also the strange-looking space enemies and countless black spheres.
Fighting against the mindless bodies of Abyssal energy was dull and tedious. Even if they were more powerful than the fleets of most advanced civilizations, these black spheres only knew how to charge around. This made fighting against us as boring as shooting horizontally in a Red and White Machine. That was why I couldn't help but associate this scene with the latter: a full 3D shooting game of the next generation.
Of course, this game didn't make me happy at all, especially since we only had a few hundred militia boats, which were nothing more than dinghies compared to a regular army. Meanwhile, we were facing an ever-expanding Chaos Abyss Gate.
I don't know how I could stray so far from the subject in such a critical situation.
"Warning, correction 0.35 in front. Firepower blockade has been broken through. Prepare for impact."
The flagship's mainframe sounded the alarm again. Immediately after, everyone felt a tremor under their feet.
On the holographic projection, there was another intense flash of energy. A black sphere with a radius of at least two thousand meters exploded in front of the fleet's defensive line. It was so close to us that I could even see the strange layered patterns on its surface before it was destroyed. After being turned into such a bomb by the Chaos Abyss, its internal crystal structure would be enlarged in a strange way. The strange patterns formed would more or less reveal the secrets of the Chaos Abyss. It was a pity that Tawil wasn't here. Otherwise, she would have excitedly requested to capture a 'big black sphere' alive.
"The Sinapus battlecruiser's main shield has been severely damaged! The Yamato cannon cannot be activated. The main armor and the first to third isolation compartments have been contaminated. Abandoned. Retreat from battle! "
"The Delta battlecruiser's psionic mount has been fatally damaged. We have lost our shield and are slightly contaminated! The contamination has been contained. We are retreating from battle! "
"This is the Quantum battlecruiser. The Chaos Abyss energy has broken through our psionic shield. Some of our soldiers have been contaminated … The Ghost Agents are preventing the energy from spreading … A two-dimensional shadow has appeared on the third reactor. Abandon ship and escape! Abandon ship and escape! "
"The Voice of the Void aircraft carrier reporting to the Great Teacher. We are very sorry. We have lost our combat power. All the main power reactors have stopped operating. The defense system has collapsed. We are currently receiving the escape pods of Quantum and Reach Star and are retreating from the frontlines …"
"Rumble!"
A low voice sounded faintly, and the entire bridge shook again.
To be able to make the Empire Admiral's gigantic steel body tremble, it was probably a direct collision again. The dense psionic cannons were no longer able to stop these endless attacks.
"The main cannons are on cooldown again. Don't be in a rush to activate the Space Oscillation. They can still hold on for a while." I pressed on the crystal panel of the command deck. Complex data appeared on it … Yup, I couldn't understand it, but after all, it had been a long time. I had some understanding of these things. "How is the situation of the Light of Aire?"
"Using the miniature black hole and the Space Annihilation system to forcefully resist two large-scale attacks for the flagship. It almost lost control due to the Chaos Abyss." The flagship's mainframe reported calmly through the information link. "It is estimated that it will not be able to recover its combat power within six hours. Only the high-energy purification light beam can still be activated. However, against the spreading Chaos Abyss energy, the effectiveness of this attack is extremely limited."
The analysis of the mainframe was accurate and objective. Unfortunately, it only gave me a toothache.
What made me even more toothache was —
"Your Majesty, we are still unable to restore contact with the Shadow Fortress! The Gate of the Abyss is mixed with another energy radiation. Before the analysis is complete, we are unable to obtain the coordinates of the other planes! "
Anyway, I had been having a toothache for more than half an hour already.
Leading a few hundred militia rescue ships (I admit that this description would make Zeratul and Renault sad, but compared to the regular army of the Empire, being called a militia was already something to be proud of) against a Gate of the Abyss. Furthermore, it was a Gate of the Abyss that was unprecedentedly powerful. I felt really conflicted. Speaking of which, I had never said that I would return home to get married after this battle. How could I be so unlucky? Could it be that I had secretly watched Sandora and Shallow Shallow's holographic images too many times?
"Reporting, Your Majesty! The mutated Chaos Abyss has been completely destroyed, but the main body of the Gate of the Abyss has yet to be revealed! The Alliance Fleet's combat power is less than 40%! " The adjutant in the command center brought me some bad news. However, my answer was always the same. "Continue to send in the Baiters until the main body of the Gate of the Abyss is revealed!"
Do you know what the most annoying battle in the world is? Let me tell you, it's this one.
We had to keep sending in the Baiters because if we weren't able to restrain the energy leaking out of the Gate of the Abyss into the main material plane in time, they would completely lose control. These two-dimensional shadows that had no physical properties would spread at an exponentially faster rate as they got further away from the Gate of the Abyss. However, the result of sending in the Baiters was that the Abyss energy would first infect the Baiters, and then transform into a powerful contamination bomb to attack us. Although the Baiters would then transform into the main material plane that could be attacked, no matter how you looked at it, this entire process was full of masochistic tendencies.
This time, the Gate of the Abyss seemed to be very different …
When the several thousand Baiters that had just been sent out were still several thousand kilometers away from the "liquid droplet" (former Earth) that was covered in black patterns, they were successfully instigated into an overwhelming number of Master Balls … cough, cough, black balls. They then viciously charged towards the Admiral of the Empire and its subordinates. During this entire process, the drop of liquid droplet containing the Gate of the Abyss was still unhurriedly turning black, as if it wasn't affected at all by its energy being sucked out. This made me even more confused.
Although in theory, the Gate of the Abyss was a passageway to that twisted and insane "world", and on the other side was the entire Chaos Abyss, in reality, every single Gate of the Abyss had a "capacity limit". They could only release a limited amount of energy, and when this energy was sucked out to a certain extent, these terrifying evil strongholds would be exposed to the Material Plane, becoming bosses that had to be pushed around by raiding parties. Schilling scientists had different opinions as to why the Gate of the Abyss was unable to completely connect to the Chaos Abyss, but everyone admitted that every Gate of the Abyss would be drained dry. But the one in front of us … wasn't its capacity a little too ridiculous?
As expected of a gigantic body that required an entire planet to contain. I reckoned that this thing would destroy an entire world as if it were child's play. Even a Level 85 Myth-ranked equipment would probably have the same effect as a Slime King at the eastern end of the village. That was why we absolutely couldn't allow this Gate of the Abyss to explode. Not mentioning anything else, the humans that had just escaped to the Mars Sanctuary definitely wouldn't even count as Slimes in front of this Gate of the Abyss.
"Halo, Charge, Gemini Star, Dawn, and Crusader battlecruisers' shields have all been destroyed! Primary and secondary weapons have all been destroyed. Retreat from battle! "
"Dawn battlecruiser and Shadow Ark Aircraft Carrier's main engine furnace have been struck by Abyss energy. The battleship's main body has been destroyed. All surviving crew members have abandoned ship and escaped!"
Bad news came one after another. These Empire soldiers had inherited the Schilling's excellent battle tradition: stubborn people would never know what fear was. As long as their commander didn't cry, they would be hot-blooded enough to fight until the end of the world. Not only that, they would always share all the battle situation information on the public channel. As I listened to the commanders in the public channel broadcasting the terrible news without beating around the bush, I could only continue to maintain a pained expression.
Sandora's words from before were still clear: "Ah Jun, I'm afraid as well. But here, we're the ones who can't be afraid the least, because we're standing in front of everyone …"
Of course, due to a certain someone's pitiful mortal level memory, I had to add the words "roughly so" to this sentence.
What kind of bullsh * t leadership demeanor was this? What kind of bullsh * t confidence was this! If I had known earlier that I would have to lead a militia to forcefully resist the Chaos Abyss's main camp, I would have at least brought two million regular soldiers here! If this thing went on a rampage, even the Star Field Protoss's army would be overturned!
Back then, I really shouldn't have brought only a capital ship and a bunch of militia. I decided that in the future, even if I went to the campus city to chat with Osaka and the others, I would still bring a large group of Empire soldiers. I kept feeling like there was a pair of eyes staring at me 36,000 kilometers above my head, and their only goal was to make trouble for me and never have peace …
"The New Eden Federation's entire army has retreated to the second line of defense. Send the last batch of Avengers into battle. Assault ships that can still move, enter the ejection ports and prepare to assist. The capital ship's shields are fully activated, and the main cannons are charged. Directly attack the Abyss Gate —"
Regardless of whether or not that thing has already reached the main material plane, I'm going to shoot it right now!
"Your Majesty, the danger level of this plan has exceeded 73.25%. Are you sure you want to execute it?"
The battleship's mainframe, which possessed a high level of intelligence but was only used for rational thinking, naturally gave a warning to my order. However, my answer was very simple. "Think of a plan with a danger level less than 70%! If we continue fighting like this, we will only be left with black frames when the cast list comes out! "
Although there weren't too many casualties yet, if we continued fighting like this, the militia would definitely be wiped out! Even the capital ship's fall was only a matter of time — unless I abandoned all the servants and the humans in the Mars Sanctuary and led the capital ship out of the Abyss Gate.
Was that even possible?
After the order was confirmed, there were no more objections in the Empire's command chain. The Federation's army, which had basically lost their combat power and had almost become a friendly casualty station, began to collectively retreat under the protection of the Holy Mother Ship, which had barely recovered its shield, and retreated tens of thousands of kilometers. The three Voice-class space colonization ships, which could only be used for self-defense, opened their shields fully and stood between the Federation's army and the Empire Admiral as a barrier.
Having suddenly lost their main target, the corrupted black spheres immediately focused all their attacks on us. The countless defensive cannons all over the Imperial General's body immediately opened fire, turning the entire space cross into a hedgehog that glowed with light. Those Master Spheres … er, I mean, the giant black spheres were like punctured balloons, exploding one by one. But with their overwhelming numbers and defensive capabilities that rivaled battleship armor, they were still able to gradually approach the danger zone that we were defending ourselves from.
Tens of thousands of beautiful figures in red light armor rushed out of the launch tunnel when the defensive turrets were overwhelmed. This was already the last batch of Avengers that the Empire Admiral carried. These deadly and insane "girls" entered the battlefield and immediately entered the highest level of overload. Using the method of burning their bodies, they exploded with attack power that was not inferior to that of a large fleet. Following closely behind them was a large number of assault ships that suddenly rushed into space, and the black spheres that had always had the upper hand were instantly pushed back!
"Main cannons, charge!"
A blinding white light simultaneously flashed from the top of the two short axes and the bottom of the long axes of the Empire Admiral's cross-shaped hull. This battleship had a total of three main cannons, and they were the modified Galaxy Main Cannons installed in these three positions. It couldn't be helped, this was a command ship that wasn't good at direct combat … but we didn't have any more powerful weapons at the moment.
Since they were the modified version, the three giant Galaxy Main Cannons only took two seconds to fully charge. Then, they shot out three dazzling torrents of light, and like three focused rays, they attacked the same point.
Under such an attack, a huge crack was instantly torn open on the oblate celestial body that was covered in black veins. Approximately one-third of the matter was blown away, turning into rocks that gradually cooled in space.
I reckon that even the planets in the Dragon Ball World wouldn't be as pitiful as the current Earth. Thank you for your hard work, cradle of humanity.
The explosion in space was silent. I could only see a large mass of bright flames suddenly erupt on the giant projection. The Super Psionic Ray was almost unaffected by the black spheres that had almost been destroyed, and with more than 90% of its power, it hit the coordinates of the Gate of the Abyss. The billions of tons of celestial body covering the surface of the Gate of the Abyss were blown into smithereens by the violent explosion. After more than half of it was vaporized, a strange hole was revealed.
That thing was the Gate of the Abyss?
Wait a minute, that's not right. The two-dimensional shadows that were protecting the Gate of the Abyss were still continuously being produced. The Gate of the Abyss had yet to enter the main material plane! That was only a strange barrier that the special agents had discovered in the inner crust of the planet's mantle. Now, it had been completely assimilated into the Abyss!
"Oh my god, Jingle! This thing is really f * cking … "
I finally couldn't help but curse the ancestors of this black thing, if it even had one.
However, this time, I had to admit that the appearance of this turning point was simply too delightful. A turning point would always appear when you were almost about to give up. This was an unchanging truth throughout the ages. It was just like how Zhuge Liang had waited for Zhou Yu to have an epileptic fit for half an hour before he announced that he and the Immortal Rain Master were sworn brothers. In this world, there was such a turning point that made you grit your teeth and cheer. "Blockhead, Blockhead! Calling Blockhead! If you're alive, please answer! "
Suddenly, a mental connection sounded in my mind, and I finally heaved a sigh of relief. You damn brat, you're finally here! I delayed for so long because I was waiting for you!
"Detecting a large-scale gravitational collapse effect. High-energy object approaching. Identified as the Empire's Royal Guards. Transferring communication."
"Yo! Blockhead! "
Lin Xue's usually mischievous but now exceptionally adorable face appeared on the communicator. She didn't seem to have the slightest awareness that she was being watched by millions of her subordinates. She grinned at me happily. "You're still alive!"
"I'm alive and well. I'm sorry to disappoint you." Even though I was quite happy that she had come to my aid in time, I knew that she was the type to brighten up when given a bit of sunshine. So, I still replied out of habit.
"Hmph, you don't know how to thank me at all?" The missy immediately switched to her tsundere form. "Before we set off, I told you that I would always be watching over you. Even though I didn't foresee the appearance of this troublesome thing, I still came to your aid in time … Hey, I'm not worried about you!"
… Brat, I was wrong. Don't use such a classic sentence to raise Sandora and Shallow Shallow's Aggro Bars.
The Admiral of the Empire, which was already riddled with scars, could finally take a breather. Together with the militia behind it, the gigantic Empire fleet gradually appeared from the darkness of space. The Gate of the Chaos Abyss, which had been showing off its might just a moment ago, was now reduced to being watched.
