Chapter 306: The Might of the Heavenly Sword, a Slaughter Feast
This horrifying scene made Bi Jia Lie and Ke Huang feel a shudder from the depths of their souls.
Counterattack! All forces, counterattack!
Ke Huang's twisted roar finally exploded over the fleet communications channel!
Accompanying his angry command, the spatial freezing power that blanketed the entire star sector seemed to weaken slightly.
The originally paralyzed Holy Purification Fleet finally had some warships restore their basic propulsion systems.
Fire! Fire at my command!
Tear them apart! Tear them all to pieces!
The surviving several billion warships, as if finding an outlet to vent their fear, turned countless gun barrels, directing their pent-up rage and terror,
transforming into billions of spatial torrents, wildly shooting toward the Heavenly Sword Fleet surrounding them from all directions!
However.
What happened next plunged all surviving enemies into a bottomless abyss.
That barrage of firepower capable of destroying a star system, upon contacting the Heavenly Sword-class warship,
actually... passed right through!
It was as if shot at a phantom of nothingness, passing straight through the hulls of the Heavenly Sword Fleet and flying off into distant space.
Phase-shift Shield!
On the flagship of the Bi Te En Empire, a technical officer looked at the analysis data and gave the answer.
Their shield... allows warships to briefly switch between the material universe and phase space! Our attacks can't hit them at all!
What?!
Bi Jia Lie's light-and-shadow form flickered violently.
Such technology exists only in theory even in his empire!
Just as they fell into a stupor, the second wave of attack from the Yanhuang Civilization arrived.
This time, it was not merely a spatial strike.
Only seen, the bows of Heavenly Sword-class warships lit up with rings of eerie ripples.
Space Resonance Weapon activated.
A cold system alert tone sounded in every Heavenly Sword warship.
Hum—
Invisible ripples spread outward at superluminal speed.
No light, no heat, not even a violent explosion.
But the Holy Purification Fleet warships swept by this ripple were like metal models plunged into an ultrahigh-frequency vibrator.
A Ke Luo Empire Throne-class battleship, its massive hull first began to vibrate violently,
then cracks appeared densely across its hull armor, and then—boom!
The entire warship, in less than a second, disintegrated from within, self-vibrating into a cloud of flying metal dust!
One after another.
Vast swaths of enemy ships, thus in silent vibration, turned into cosmic junk.
And that's not all!
On another battlefield, dozens of seemingly inconspicuous superluminal missiles were launched.
They accurately struck dozens of the Bi Te En Empire's Stellar-class cruisers.
However, at the moment they exploded.
Tens of thousands of kilometers beyond the battlefield, thousands of enemy ships attempting to re-form their formation,
at the same instant, spontaneously burst into clusters of dazzling sparks!
Quantum Entanglement Bomb...
Bi Jia Lie muttered to himself, his voice for the first time tinged with sobbing.
When one warship is hit, other warships locked by its quantum entanglement will simultaneously trigger the same explosion from within.
How the hell are we supposed to fight this?
Attacks can't land.
Defenses can't hold.
The Holy Purification Fleet's proud numerical advantage, before these unheard-of, utterly unreasonable dimensionality-reducing strikes, became a huge joke.
The battlefield can no longer be called a battlefield.
This is a one-sided, cold-blooded massacre.
A Heavenly Sword-class warship, while dodging concentrated fire from dozens of enemy ships,
can easily use the Space Resonance Weapon to simultaneously disintegrate four to five enemy ships.
1V5!
And it's an overwhelming crush without any doubt!
The command system has been jammed!
Can't link to the task forces! Our orders won't get through!
Your Majesty! Our flagship communications have also been cut off!
Panicked reports came from all corners.
Bi Jia Lie and Ke Huang horrifiedly discovered that their painstakingly built joint command system, under some kind of information storm released by the Heavenly Sword Fleet, had become fragmented.
They became blind, they became deaf!
Ahhhhh!
Ke Huang has gone completely mad.
His massive dark matter body twisted wildly, and a violent aura of utter destruction surged from him.
"Since we're all going to die anyway, let's die together!"
"All fleets, hear my order! Activate the final self-destruct sequence on every warship! Blow them up! I want this entire star region reduced to nothing!"
He roared as he issued the mutual destruction order.
However, his order vanished like a stone sinking into the sea.
On the flagship's command system, only a cold red warning popped up.
【The order was overridden by higher authority and cannot be executed.】
"What?!"
Ke Huang froze.
The next second.
Hundreds of black chains appeared out of thin air from all sides of his flagship, those being 'singularity gravity cords' formed purely from gravity.
Screech—
Hundreds of gravity cords instantly wrapped around Ke Huang's flagship,
The immense pulling force made this massive war fortress groan under the strain, completely immobilizing it in place!
Just as Ke Huang sank into despair.
On the other side, Biegare made a completely different decision.
He coldly looked outside the flagship at the United Fleet, which had been massacred in droves and completely collapsed.
There was no anger, no resentment.
Only absolute, icy-cold rationality to the extreme.
"Abandon all non-core fleets."
"The Imperial Guard First through Seventh Fleets, centering on me, form a conical assault formation."
"All energy, to the engines and shields."
"Target, coordinates 172.3 straight ahead, force a breakthrough!"
His orders, via the backup channel, quickly reached his most elite guard fleet.
The ruler of the Empire, at the moment he confirmed defeat,
he unhesitatingly abandoned over ninety-five percent of the fleet, merely to buy himself a slim chance of survival.
On the battlefield, the morale of the 'Holy Purification Fleet' had completely collapsed.
Countless warships shut down their weapon systems and sent surrender signals over the public channel.
Many more warships, like headless flies, fled wildly in all directions, only to be picked off one by one with precision by the encircling Heavenly Sword Fleet.
Yanhuang Civilization Command Center.
Commander Zhang Xianzhong coldly watched the ever-changing battle situation on the star map.
"The First and Third Fleets are responsible for dividing the battlefield, encircling without killing, to force their surrender."
"The Fifth and Seventh Fleets will carry out sweeping operations, annihilating any targets still resisting or attempting to flee."
"All units that have surrendered, immediately dispatch engineering ships to disarm and take over."
Each of his orders was clear and efficient.
The entire Yanhuang Fleet was systematically harvesting this vast battlefield.
"General Zhou!"
Zhang Xianzhong suddenly opened a channel with another fleet.
"Old Zhang, speak!"
Zhou Shaoqing's excited voice came through.
Before him, an assault fleet of three thousand top-tier Heavenly Sword-class warships had already assembled.
"The flagships' coordinates of the two emperors have been sent to you." Zhang Xianzhong's tone showed no ripple, "Capture them alive."
"Hahaha! Got it!"
Zhou Shaoqing laughed loudly and waved his hand sharply.
"Brothers! Follow me! Today we're going to capture two emperors alive! Let them know what a damn surprise is!"
"For Yanhuang!"
