How great was the value of a prophet in a strategic sense?
For the two Empire that possessed a considerable number of armies, a prophet would be more of a deterrent than an army of any size under any circumstances, even if the prophet had no combat power.
With Lin Xue's existence, it meant that the enemy would be unable to launch any large-scale sneak attacks on the Empire. That would be passively detected by her. This meant that any military operation we carried out would have a success rate of over 99%. That was because Lin Xue could know in advance how every step of the operation would lead to success. This meant that we could avoid almost all threats on the path of development. Sometimes, a prophet on the battlefield could amplify an insignificant butterfly effect, triggering a catastrophic chain reaction on the enemy. Lin Xue had once done this. She only used a disaster beacon from her sister, and through the chain reaction, a third of the enemy's army was exposed to our main cannon's firing range. Moreover, it lasted for as long as ten minutes. If the same result was achieved by a regular army, the losses would be astronomical.
The Fallen Apostle naturally knew that the New Empire had such a strategic-level unit. Lin Xue had continuously sabotaged their military operations. Moreover, as the young lady always liked to follow me to the battlefield, the threat she posed on the battlefield was not small. The biggest difference between a prophet commanding a battle and an officer commanding a battle was that the latter relied on experience and knowledge to grasp the situation. However, all the efforts of the latter would ultimately be easily taken advantage of by the former. If I were the Fallen Apostle, I would have long since hated this prophet to the point of insanity.
That was why they created something that could be used specifically to fight against Lin Xue. It was a black lump that was one size larger than an Eternal Grade. It looked as ugly as a lump of sh * t. The radar showed that it was constantly releasing psionic energy blasts. Moreover, it was releasing chaotic information on all channels. The entire universe had been flooded with this noise, and the young lady in this universe had already been severely affected.
Lin Xue gritted her teeth. She could not wait to immediately smash that thing that gave her a splitting headache. However, her attacks were all in vain. The Fallen Apostle obviously knew how important this device that could suppress the prophet's power was, so he protected it strictly.
In fact, this was not the first time that Lin Xue's power had been affected. When she had just awakened, her ability was severely limited. She could not predict things that were too unfamiliar. She did not have a passive mode, and if the target of the prophecy had a strong energy reaction, she could not see it clearly. Back then, she had been affected by some things that now seemed very weak. However, as she gradually grasped her new power, the interference of the prophet's power became less and less frequent. Unexpectedly, the Fallen Apostle suddenly created such a thing that had an unprecedented interference effect on her power. The working principle of that special warship had already been investigated. It was very primitive. It relied on powerful psionic radiation to fill the entire universe and then broadcast a large amount of clutter. When the intensity of the energy reached a certain level, the quantity was enough to cause a qualitative change. Even Einstein did not come up with the theory of relativity in the West Street Market. Lin Xue was currently in such a situation. What was even worse was that her six senses were extremely sharp.
"It might only be useful in one universe." I looked at Lin Xue, who had failed to attack the interference again, with concern. "It's impossible to broadcast it to other worlds. Why don't you go back first? "
The missy glared at that lump of sh * t. "The Fallen Apostle must be hoping for the same. They can't wait for me to leave the battlefield. "
I thought to myself, Anyone can think of this, but what can you do? Hold on here?
Right at that moment, we suddenly received a call from Earth. It was from Xiaoxue, who had stayed at home.
"Dad! Mom! What's going on over there? I saw something! "
I was shocked. "What's wrong? There's a strong interference here. Lin Xue can't see anything. "
"Interference? Interference transmitter? Did they really make this? " Xiaoxue exclaimed. "Luckily, I'm fine. They might not know that the 'void creature' that had escaped from their lab has the power of prophecy. The enemy has divided their forces into many different directions. The world they are attacking is just a decoy! BDE-1325, AC-67, TEA-6 and NF-15 are about to be attacked, but only one of them is the real target. I can't see which one it is. It's too chaotic. Every fleet might be carrying interference transmitters. I can only see which world is going to be attacked, but I can't see what they are doing in that world! "
The communication ended. Sandora furrowed her eyebrows. "Something's not right. Something's not right. Ah Jun, what do you think?"
"They are playing big. Why did they send so many troops?!" I was more concerned about the scale of the enemy's attack. Attacking five worlds at the same time? Plus, they had attacked the heavily-guarded XF-35-A first. Just to create a diversion? Did they not care about the casualties at all?
"This is the Alliance Fleet, Roland Argyle Army!" There was a sudden call from the communicator. "We have broken through the enemy's flank and completed the attack mission ahead of schedule. We are retreating."
"Alliance Fleet? Broke through the enemy's flank in advance? "I almost leaned on the communicator." The enemy is made of paper? "
"It's a mirror image." The bearded captain looked confused. "Their front fleet and the escort fleet with the interference transmitter are real units. The flank and rearguard are all mirror images!"
The commander of another fleet connected to the communicator. It was a captain from the Empire. "Your Majesty, we have charged into the rearguard and found some special spaceships. There is a crystal magnifier on the spaceship but there is no sign of life in the spaceship. It is an unmanned mirror image generator."
Very soon, the commander transmitted what he saw. A black diamond-shaped aircraft of unknown size appeared on the projector. Its surface was filled with crystal clusters. Behind the aircraft, three narrow crystal sheets were rotating slowly at a 120-degree angle. In the light screen that was produced, there was an endless stream of mirror image units being projected.
They had blended into the actual fleet and it was hard to tell the real from the fake.
"They have finally replicated the power of the Leader Bee." Sandora pressed on the table. "That is a mirror image generator ship. It is a cutting-edge spaceship from the old Empire. Just like the Leader Bee, it can create mirror image units that are made of pure information. The speed of replication is extremely fast. However, without the soul of the Leader Bee, the mirror image units are much weaker than the one created by the Leader Bee. They have been tricked … The enemy's army attacking this world is not as large as it looks. They are only sending the interference transmitter into space to seal the prophet's eyes."
I glanced at Missy carefully. "Because they have concluded the pattern. There is an eighty percent chance that the prophet on our side will enter the battlefield personally. That is what the interference transmitter is used for."
Lin Xue was furious when she heard that. She slammed the table hard. "D * mn it … It hurts."
I rubbed Lin Xue's claws. "How are the defense forces of the four worlds that Xiaoxue mentioned?"
"Some are strong and some are weak." Sandora had already opened the other sets of battle maps. The markings on the maps showed that the target world's command link was already online. "I have already sent the capital's reserve forces. Other than the sixth fleet, which is still recuperating, the second to fifth fleets have gone to the four universes respectively. Only a small portion of the defense forces in these four universes are the Imperial Army. The rest are the servant army. I am afraid that they can't withstand the attack. "
"They must withstand it." Visca suddenly appeared on the bridge. His body was covered in the smell of war. White steam was coming out of the little girl's head. The heat dissipation component was obviously operating at full capacity. She had just returned from the battlefield. "Stupid sister is attacking the interference transmitter, but those guys' spaceships are as sturdy as Sicarro's face! Other than the mothership, it is a fortress ship. They can't break through at all. This force is not here to attack. It is more like they are here to shrink into a ball after running over. "
"You are right. They are here to disgust people." Hilla suddenly whistled loudly. "Ha, I have heard about the Xiling Empire from Xingchen. I heard that it was originally a mortal race, but it is a little hard to understand how strong it is. It is almost the same as the Protoss. Now that I look at it, it is indeed true. The battlefield is filled with power that can really kill a god. I have only seen such a scene on the battlefield of the Protoss. I am a little interested. "
Father walked over with a faint smile. "Their actions are suspicious. I suggest that you go and support other places. What Xiaoxue saw must be what the enemy doesn't want Lin Xue to see. There is an extreme danger in one of the four worlds. As for this place, if you don't mind, Hilla and I will take care of it. "
It was a pity that all of the enemy's troops were equipped with jamming devices. Even if Xiaoxue was unaffected, she could only be sure of which world the enemy would appear in. She could not be sure what they would do after they appeared there.
Sandora's face was expressionless, but she remained silent. It was obvious that she was weighing Father's suggestion. As the head of an Empire, it was not a glorious thing to hand over the responsibility of national defense to an outsider. However, the Protoss and the Empire were allies. Sandora was not an inflexible person. After thinking for a while, she nodded. "It seems that there is no better way. It is just that King Huron's long journey … "
"It took quite a lot of effort to float all the way from the other side of the void. He definitely doesn't have much combat power left." Hilla waved her hand nonchalantly. "But since he won't die, I will go and disgust them. Then, Xingchen will stab him in the back. We were the best partners back then."
I immediately looked at Father with deep meaning. What exactly did this duo do back in the day?
"Ahem, Hilla, you better not be too careless." Father coughed awkwardly. "You don't understand the power of the Shiring Apostles. Don't think that they are mortals. You are not much stronger than a high-tier Protoss. A salvo of that scale can instantly kill a true God. It would be embarrassing if you were really sent back to the void."
King Huron waved his hand, his face full of confidence. At the same time, some dark purple stripes suddenly covered her entire body. I didn't even have time to see what it was before she changed her appearance.
Her skin was a faint purple, and the straight stripes with a bluish-purple glow extended all the way to her face. Her long purple ponytail had already spread out and floated in the air as if there was no gravity. Hilla closed her eyes. When she slowly opened them, a blinding light instantly shot out. Then, in the blink of an eye, it was retracted back into her eyes. Her eyes had mutated into two balls of flowing white light. The moment I saw those eyes, a phrase echoed in my mind: Are those titanium dog eyes?
The change in her form caused this female God King to show obvious inhuman characteristics. However, this different-colored skin and stripes didn't seem ugly at all. Instead, it had a bewitching beauty — it was as mysterious and elegant as the magic tattoos of the Night Elves.
"Void form, it feels good." Hilla spoke up. Just like every powerful person who transformed, her voice had a heavy metal vibrato and a ternary compound effect. Actually, I had always thought that those Demon Kings who played speakers in their helmets were a little stupid. It was only when I spoke in such a tone that I realized that this had nothing to do with acting cool. "Ah, it's really ugly. Actually, I am quite envious of Star Chen. Although there isn't anything special about his Void form, at least he doesn't have to fight all over like me. By the way, Chen, what does your Void form look like? "
I wanted to leave the moment I heard this, but I was still a step too late. At this crucial moment where the flames of war were raging, King Huron actually forcefully dragged me along and insisted on transforming right on the spot! Her reason was that transforming before a battle was a necessary experience for Void creatures. This would allow the subsequent events to develop in a direction that would be advantageous to her due to the existence of information interference. However, I felt that she just wanted to watch the show.
However, what she said might be true, because even Father God had nodded by the side. I thought about how I could maintain my Void form for a very long time after transforming. Perhaps I should follow Hilla's instructions and make some preparations. Thus, I calmed myself down and switched to my Void form.
Hilla was instantly shocked. "Hey, damn it! Where's your shame!? "
See, I knew it …
"There's still a second form." I awkwardly scratched my head — it was hair in my imagination. Then, I shrank my Void Domain and suppressed my form, turning into the Aladdin Genie form that didn't even have legs. Hilla was instantly shocked again. "Hey, damn it! Why does it look like an awl? "
I was rendered speechless.
"Two forms?" Father God had a serious expression. "You actually have a second form? I've never heard of it before. Could it be that there's something special about you? "
Hilla slapped Father God. "Special hair. There are three of us in our tribe. How many rules can you come up with?! Did you make any movements when you transformed? When I transform, I have a body full of squares. Can't you allow Chen to transform into a Papercut and an Awl? "
I was rendered speechless.
This was the first time I realized that this Queen's ability to summarize things was actually so superb!
Father God and King Huron had personally joined the battle. Perhaps there was no need to worry about the situation of this world. Even though Hilla had admitted that her power had temporarily weakened after traversing the endless Void, Father God's power was still at its peak. I didn't know how much stronger a mature Void creature like Father God was compared to myself, but from what I could see, I wouldn't be able to defeat him — perhaps even if five or six of them were grouped together.
In that case, the Fallen Apostles wouldn't be able to defeat him even if they were grouped together.
These two quarrelsome quarreling quarrelsome (Hilla was mainly responsible for quarreling, while Father God was responsible for giggling) left the bridge. In the next instant, they were already standing at the frontlines. Facing a battlefield that spanned millions of kilometers, their figures were like two inconspicuous grains of sand. However, the Fallen Apostles would soon know that they would be crushed to death by these two grains of sand.
The concentrated firepower passed through Father God and King Huron's bodies as if they didn't exist.
In their Void form, they were immune to all damage from low-level derivatives, including psionic energy. Just like how a boss on a computer screen would never be able to harm a player in front of the screen no matter how powerful they were, Void creatures didn't even need to pay attention to any form of attacks from within the world. This was an unreasonable difference in power levels. Perhaps Law weapons like King's Landing or the Warsong could draw upon the power of the Void to fight against Father God and the others, but these conventional warships were obviously useless.
I couldn't see how they fought, but a group of assault warships that approached Hilla suddenly turned into dust. There was no process at all. Even the radar didn't detect any form of energy reaction. In the end, it was as if the warships had been reduced to single molecules of mist. Meanwhile, the enemy warships in front of Father God were disappearing in large swaths. They weren't sent into a different dimension, nor were they thrown into the Void. It was as if they had been deleted. But the problem was — the scanners didn't detect any energy fluctuations around Father God and King Huron at all!
These two veteran Void creatures didn't use any offensive methods at all. They merely stood there, and the "phenomenon" of the Fallen Apostles dying in large numbers occurred around them!
These two were basically using a cheating device. At the very least, they should have used some power that could be understood by ordinary people! These unexplainable miraculous phenomena would drive Tawil crazy …
The Fallen Apostles soon discovered the abnormalities on the battlefield. Many warships began approaching Father God and King Huron, but this only sped up the death of these warships. A strange "phenomenon" formed around Father God and King Huron in a sphere with a radius of 200,000 kilometers. Any hostile target that entered this area would instantly evaporate — they weren't attacked at all!
However, it was only the small and medium-sized warships that were easily dealt with. When the Eternal-class motherships fully activated their shields and turned their main cannons toward Father God and King Huron, the terrifying power of these two bosses finally stopped. The huge warships only trembled a few times before stabilizing again. Then, they began to fire wildly.
Thus, a temporary stalemate was formed. It seemed that the crazy development of the Empire didn't mean nothing to Father God. Even Void creatures had power limitations. That was true. In terms of life essence, I was no different from Father God and King Huron, but I didn't think that I was invincible …
"I … This is the first time I've seen Father God personally take action … This life has been worth it …" Monina appeared on the bridge with a bloody storm. She and her brother had just retreated from the frontlines. "Father God asked the five of us to follow you to support other places."
"Chen, we might have to spend some time." Father God's voice rang in my mind. "Those huge warships seem to have high resistance. Hilla and I will try to pull them into the Void and get rid of them. Don't worry, there won't be any danger. They're just some thick-skinned fellows. Compared to those big fellows from back then, they're far inferior. "
After that, Father God and Hilla disappeared from the radar screen. Almost two-thirds of the enemy's physical warships disappeared along with them. Even the interference transmitter was taken away. However, it was still the same inexplicable situation. A phenomenon had occurred (two Big Bosses and a bunch of spaceships disappeared), but I couldn't detect any undulations around Father God and King Huron (including the opening of a Void Rift or other spatial undulations). I believed that this was the true power that Void Creatures should possess. However, it was clear that I hadn't even touched this threshold yet.
"Fleet, depart. Target …" Sandora glanced at Lin Xue, who had returned to normal, and suddenly sighed. "Lin Xue, don't waste your energy. Let's throw the dice …"
