Under Icetis' suggestion, we began experimenting with developing the Psionic Death Star into an attack method that was faster and still more powerful than normal attacks.
Before this, this gigantic celestial fortress's strongest attack skill was "Emperor's Breath" (I'll fight anyone who dares to mention the original name of this skill). This attack was capable of instantly flattening the space within five light years. However, it required a period of time to recharge. This recharge time was enough for an Eternal-level warship to jump away. Furthermore, it couldn't wait until the enemy appeared before releasing it. In other words, it had to be fired once it was fully charged. That was why, under normal circumstances, Emperor's Breath could only be used to deal with fixed celestial bodies within range and planetary warships that couldn't move easily. This time, we were going to use this thing to deal with the Vengeance Army's Eternal-level warships. Its attack speed was unsatisfactory.
Meanwhile, the Psionic Death Star's normal attacks were called "Close-Range Defense Cannons". It used the surging sea of psionic flames on its surface to launch a direct bombardment without any blind spots. Based on the Psionic Death Star's stellar structure, this bombardment was actually a highly precise and highly concentrated solar prominence under controlled circumstances. Its effective range was more than a million kilometers. It sounded like a long distance, but in reality, compared to the size of the fortress, it wasn't even as thick as the solar corona. It was the equivalent of a close-range weapon.
This was the unique characteristic of a gigantic fortress. One or two large-scale superweapons could easily destroy the world. Then, there were the close-range defense cannons, close-range defense cannons, and close-range defense cannons. Armed forces were extremely polarized. Apart from superweapons, the fortress' combat power was also reflected in its gigantic escort formations. After all, we couldn't install a 152mm cannon on a tank and then install a circle of 222mm cannons on its turrets. It was the same for the Psionic Death Star.
Because the Visca Star Ring is a pair of World Gates that resonate continuously after it is repaired, even if we do not use the crystal peak to magnify it, this resonance will continuously leak information from the vicinity of the other star ring to this side. In order to prevent the enemy from detecting the existence of this information in the Mobrador star system and thus discovering the existence of the Psionic Death Star, we can only place the 'ruined star ring' far away from the Celestial System Fleet, a full 3.3 light years away, which is already beyond the normal range of the Psionic Death Star's close-range cannons.
Icetis struggled to listen to Sandora's explanation of the Empire's warships. The female gangster scratched her head for a long time with a confused look on her face. Thus, I thought that as a Protoss who was far away from Schilling's technology, she would have a headache over these things. However, what made me collapse was that this big sister actually understood the principle of the Death Star after scratching her head for a while. I was so jealous that I was about to cry. No one can stop a gangster who knows martial arts. A gangster who knows martial arts is also unstoppable. Now, not only does a gangster know martial arts, she is also a scientist. Thus, at this moment, Icetis is almost invincible.
"Look, this is the Psionic Death Star." Icetis gestured in the air and pinched out an energy ball. The surface of the energy ball spat out blue flames, and it really looks like a Psionic Death Star. "Let's not talk about its internal structure. In any case, I do not understand it. However, there is one thing that shouldn't be a problem, and that is that this thing is not fixed. "
Icetis waved her hand and the blue energy ball disintegrated into a few spherical sections. This reminded me of the structure of the Earth in high school textbooks.
"The control core, the energy melting layer, the control expression layer, the Psionic Sea, and the uppermost layer of the Star Corona. There are a few clear functional layers, but all these structures are differentiated by use. In essence, it is still Psionic energy, just that the energy distribution is different. I really admire you for creating such an amazing thing. It actually does not have a structure, but by guiding the various layers of Psionic energy systems, the fortress appears to be in a controllable state. Since the Psionic Death Star itself does not have a fixed structure, it has one of its greatest advantages: unlimited plasticity. "
"This is one of my abilities." Icetis pushed the energy ball that represents the Psionic Death Star to the side and pointed her finger in the air a few times, forming a dazzling golden ring that trembled continuously. "The Fury of the Holy Light. Well, that's what my teacher calls it. Its unique characteristic is that it can be activated instantly, ignoring the distance between it and the target. No matter how far the distance is, it can reach its target in about half a second. Furthermore, its power is not bad. Of course, the most important thing is that even though the Fury of the Holy Light is a Light element spell, it has the characteristics of the Evocation element. It can be used as a 'snapshot' and extracted to form an energy structure, just like the ring of light in front of you."
"What are you trying to say? You want us to change our job classes to study Mystical Knowledge? "
My pitiful comprehension ability had reached rock bottom just now. At this moment, I could only honestly admit that I did not understand what she was saying. If you were to be together with a technological geek like Icetis, you would need to have an indomitable heart, and you would need to be able to bear the inferiority complex. In this world, if you wanted to advance, you would have to fight a bloody battle on the streets, and if you wanted to retreat, you would be able to hold onto a research paper. A hooligan who stood at the peak of learning would definitely be the existence that would strike your self-confidence the most. I was extremely glad that I knew a weirdo like Icetis.
"Of course I'm not studying Divine Arts. That's not compatible with your technology. The energy structure of my Fury of the Holy Light is just for you to use as a reference. Since the Psionic Death Star does not have a fixed structure, it is actually capable of changing forms. In the end, the Emperor's Breath and the Psionic Flame Sea are both forms of attack formed by changing the energy structure of the Psionic Death Star. In that case, if your Psionic Death Star were to change its shape according to the energy structure of my Fury of the Holy Light … "
The moment Icetis finished speaking, I broke out in a cold sweat. I could already foresee how ridiculous this female hooligan's suggestion was.
She was intending to use the entire Psionic Death Star as a source of energy to cast a forbidden spell!
I looked around and discovered that I wasn't the only one who was wiping off sweat. My older sister and Sandora were also sweating. At this moment, everyone fully understood just how scary a hooligan could be. A hooligan who knew both martial arts and academics was even more undefeatable. Icetis's lower limit was even lower than that of the Empire's war scientists. I didn't dare to imagine just how many atrocious things she had done with her power as the Creator Goddess.
"This, we can try, and we'll know the results very quickly." Tawil's projection appeared next to us with a flushed face. "Your Majesty, please allow your subordinate to try. Of course, the effects probably won't be as good as Her Highness Icetis's expectations. Divine Arts and the Empire's psionic technology aren't very compatible. Even with the unique structure of the Psionic Death Star, it's impossible for us to replicate the energy structure of this Holy Light. However, perhaps Icetis can give me a template to create a brand-new weapon with incredibly high attack speed for the Psionic Death Star. In theory, at least. "
Tawil was extremely confident in this brand-new topic: how to use the infinitely flexible energy structure of the Psionic Death Star to simulate the Protoss, or more generally, any type of sufficiently advanced power. I believed that this would be a top-notch research project even in the old Empire. Not only that, the Psionic Death Star was a new invention that we suddenly came up with. The old Empire definitely didn't have such a thing. Thus, it was highly likely that Tawil was conducting a brand-new research project. No wonder she was so happy. Think about it, the energy intensity of the Psionic Death Star is astonishing, and we have been trying to use this advantage to develop more and more powerful weapons for the Death Star Fortress. Now, Bryndis' suggestion is tantamount to opening a door for us, making us suddenly see the light. It seemed feasible to use the Psionic Death Star to simulate any other type of high-end power. We would have a whole new application of the potential value of this Psionic Death Star.
"Its amazing energy shouldn't be wasted in the first place." Icetis nodded with satisfaction, a self-satisfied look on her face. "Your development of this weapon has always been limited by the framework of Schilling technology. Once you jump out of this framework, I have a feeling that it will become truly omnipotent. Almost any tactic that you can think of will be suitable for it. You just need to change its structure a little."
The next afternoon, we received very exciting feedback from the sealed universe: the structural adjustment of the Psionic Death Star was successfully completed. We successfully simulated the energy explosion of the "Wrath of the Holy Light".
Of course, Tawil's previous reminder was also verified. Due to the incompatibility between Divine Arts and Psionic technology, this simulation did not achieve the same effect of amplifying the Wrath of the Holy Light, but the results were still gratifying.
The new attack method of the Psionic Death Star was an extremely high-speed energy pulse that almost did not need to be recharged. According to the information brought by Icetis, the commanders of the Psionic Death Star successfully exploded the corona of the Psionic Death Star without damaging the energy structure of the Psionic Death Star. The exploded corona formed countless shock rings, each of which was equivalent to the concentrated bombardment of hundreds of Galactic Cannons. They were extremely fast, and with the effect of the light speed distortion device, they basically achieved the effect of ignoring the target's distance.
The first experiment was very successful. The energy pulse was divided into several waves, turning all the asteroids in the experimental area into elementary particles. The whole attack process started in an instant and continued for about ten seconds. The residents of the Civilization Community enjoyed this exciting fireworks display in the safe zone.
Of course, the shortcomings of this attack were quickly discovered. First, although it was fast and powerful, it could not be used continuously, because when the shock wave was released, it was equivalent to taking away the corona of the Psionic Death Star, and it would take more than an hour for the corona to regenerate. Second, the shock wave could not be focused, and it would always spread uncontrollably in all directions. We could only maintain a few safe zones in the path of the shock wave. This meant that the power of the Psionic Death Star was not as concentrated as the Emperor's Breath, and its range was slightly shorter.
I classified this as an AOE skill similar to a self-destruct bomb, similar to the original supernova attack of the Psionic Death Star. Of course, the cooldown time and activation speed far surpassed the latter, and there was almost no comparison. The power of the Psionic Death Star was also much weaker.
A new ability needed a resounding name. We all remembered the original name of the Psionic Death Star's first attack. That's right, even if we didn't want to mention it … that thing was called Chen Jun's Breath. And so, this time, Shallow Shallow had a sudden idea and decided to name the new ability of the Psionic Death Star:
Chen Jun's Cough …
This name was derived from the fact that the shock wave was released in several waves — — this lass actually had a name for it!
At that time, I turned pale with fright, and while Icetis was stunned by this wild idea, I immediately remonstrated her with death. I was just short of pulling out a knife in front of the rash lass Shallow Shallow and splattering her blood five steps away. Only then did the crazy thoughts of a certain girl finally return to normal. Shallow Shallow felt that Emperor's cough was acceptable.
And so, I remonstrated her with death once more.
In the end, the new equipment of the Psionic Death Star was named "Wrath." Here, I thank Liliana for her life-saving suggestion. Even though this name sounded rather tacky, it was much better than Chen Jun's Asthma and Emperor's Burp. Shallow Shallow had already begun to consider these two new names.
And so, after setting up the misleading signals and encirclement, we were basically just waiting for the rabbit to fall into our trap. This was the most nerve-wracking moment that brought a small sense of accomplishment. It was similar to the first time when I placed a bug in a girl's pencil case and waited for her to open it. The thrill of secretly doing something bad without anyone knowing made me unable to sleep — — that was the only time in my memory that I had defeated Erya.
Now, everyone was eagerly hoping that the Vengeance Army's fleet would appear as soon as possible. The earlier they appeared, the fewer troops they would be able to gather, and the greater the results of this ambush. And so, Shallow Shallow and I began lying in front of the command center's warning system every day, waiting for it to shout, "Killing intent!"
I have to say, the slow movements of the Vengeance Army really wasted too much of the readers' time. And so, in order to quickly move on to the next chapter, a piercing alarm suddenly echoed in the command center one morning.
"Highest level alert! Highest level alert! Large-scale space collapse detected at the gravitational boundary! Large-scale space collapse detected at the gravitational boundary! Large-scale space collapse detected at the gravitational boundary! Large-scale object is entering the material plane!
Large-scale object is … "The commanders, who were already prepared, swiftly took action. The command center, which was originally in the middle of its daily routine, was like an engine that had been revved up to the limit. In the blink of an eye, it entered a busy state. Holographic projections were turned on one by one, and the image of the gravitational boundary was displayed in front of us. It was a vast space 1.5 light years away, and a translucent ripple was rippling in the dark universe background.
"Crystal Peak ready, ready to broadcast at any time." The ship's mainframe broadcast with a steady voice, and Sandora waved her hand, ordering the Crystal Peak commander to be patient. "Wait for their vanguard to arrive."
All of that happened in seconds. The translucent ripple in space was becoming more and more obvious, and the enemy was completely unaware that they had fallen into a trap. They were still warping as planned, and soon, we could see with our naked eyes the silhouettes of many objects appearing in the sky. The assault fleet, which could teleport faster and move more flexibly, had already entered the material plane, and according to the Vengeance Army's usual tactics, they would quickly bombard the battlefield before the motherships arrived, dropping massive gravitational traps or suicidal charges to destroy the cannons around their base.
Of course, no one would give them that chance.
Both Sandora and I waved our hands at the same time, and Silvers quickly ordered, "Crystal Peak, broadcast!"
Under the psychological effect, I sensed something sweeping through the surrounding air in an instant. It appeared to be energy radiation, sending large amounts of information into the vastness of space, although I should not have felt anything. As a giant antenna, the crystal peak broadcasted a huge and sensational message, covering a range of 1.5 light-years in an instant. At this moment, the Mobrador Galaxy disappeared from the mathematical concept, and its location was described as another world.
It was like setting out with a map, going to a museum, only to find a towering toilet after turning two streets: it was not the map's fault, but the world's.
We could see that the translucent ripples near the gravitational boundary were rapidly collapsing, and the massive bodies that could not teleport out in time had entered another tunnel due to the wrong spatial coordinates. When the translucent ripples that flickered like signal interference completely dissipated, there were only thousands of small gray aircrafts that were running around like headless flies, unleashing cannon fire in every direction. They might have assumed that there was a cloaked espionage ship disrupting their teleportation, and were hoping to quickly resolve the barricade.
Of course, the so-called cloaked espionage ship did not exist. The assault fleet that had suddenly panicked might have realized that they had fallen into a trap after firing for a few minutes. Since they had crossed the World Barrier unprepared, they would not be able to regain contact with the motherships in another universe, which was why they quickly adopted the most suitable tactic: thousands of assault ships and interceptors spread out, splitting into a dozen torrents as they charged towards the Divine Fog defense line.
It seemed that they were certain of one thing: something strange was happening on the Divine Fog.
"This is the ambush fleet. The Vengeance Army's motherships have entered the encirclement, and our cannons are bombarding them." The voice of the commander of the celestial fortress came from the command link, along with the busy and orderly orders from the command center. "We are continuing to suppress them. The Vengeance Army has activated the combined shield ahead of time, and our attacks have been weakened … The enemy fleet is preparing to flee the battlefield!"
"Activate the Psionic Death Star." I made a prompt decision and decided to activate "Fury" ahead of time. Originally, the ambush fleet's mission was to weaken the enemy's shield, but now it seemed that the Vengeance Army's commander was a cautious person, and activating the combined shield ahead of time made the ambush fleet less effective. Using the Psionic Death Star now might not achieve the desired effect, but it was still better than letting the enemy escape unscathed.
At the same time, the gravitational boundary began to exchange fire. The enemy immediately chose to scatter when they realized that the situation was not right. This was a very wise strategy because the shields of small battleships were weak, and they couldn't use the combined shield to block attacks like the motherships. So, when they fell into a trap, scattering in all directions was the best strategy for the ambush fleet to use, and this indeed brought us a lot of trouble. The universe was incredibly vast, and it was easy to imagine how difficult it would be to catch a bunch of scattered spaceships in such a large and open battlefield. The troops we sent out to intercept the enemy fleet had only exchanged fire with less than a third of the enemy fleet, and most of the intercepting fire from the high orbit of the Divine Fog Planet had missed. The short-distance warp of fast spaceships made it very difficult to aim, and they were still more than a light year away from here.
But no matter how much trouble they could bring us, the outcome of this short battle had already been decided. After all, the enemy only had a few thousand gray spaceships, and apart from these gray spaceships, we had hundreds of motherships and two 1.2 meter tall spaceships …
