Chapter 1932: Human Wall?

~7 min read 1,269 words

Watching the rapidly approaching point of light gradually grow larger, even though they were still hundreds of thousands of kilometers apart, Gao Tian and the others all clenched their weapons.

Although they knew this battle didn't require them.

But facing an alien civilization utterly unlike the Alien Species, for a moment the unease brought by the unknown inevitably made everyone tense up.

Alien Species, fugitives—these beings, though civilizations in their own right, deep down they always felt those were merely monsters, not entities akin to humanity.

But this group calling themselves Creators, just the technological level displayed by this squad already far surpasses Earth!

Especially as the distance rapidly closed, the endless deep space seemed to turn into a vast ocean, and that warship speeding toward them was like stirring up a spatial tsunami on the sea surface.

Wave after wave of spatial ripples surged like tidal waves; at this moment Gao Tian even felt as if he stood on a rocking sampan, ready to capsize at any moment.

Unimaginable! Just the effect produced by this warship's movement is astonishing; if it were to approach Earth...

"Damn it! How the hell does this thing fly!? Such a huge object, how can it be so fast!?"

About a hundred li from Lin An, Zhang Tie's face was full of astonishment; seeing him, he couldn't help but thrust his hands forward in a pushing-cart stance, his mind filled with whether he could stop this thing standing before the warship.

But less than half a second later, he sheepishly rubbed his nose and gave up that idea.

If he tried to stop it, he'd likely be smashed into a patty on the spot! The mass of this thing combined with that speed gives it an impact force greater than the stone that killed the dinosaurs!

Any Fourth Stage cultivator before it is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!

"It must be some kind of rule-based acceleration, coupled with a zero-work engine?"

"If Lin Dui weren't here, I feel that even all of humanity's strength combined wouldn't be enough to withstand a single hit from it!"

With a grim expression, Gao Tian quietly explained to Zhang Tie, compared to Xiong Hanzi's poor grasp of rules, he could barely make out that these waves of invisible spatial ripples were somewhat like the force Lin Dui once used to lift a mountain range.

"Stretching space? Or a reaction force acting directly on the microscopic level?"

Without waiting for Gao Tian to observe carefully, not wanting to waste Lin An's effort in bringing them to watch the battle firsthand, the next second they heard Lin An softly explain to them:

"Gravity and repulsion rules, pulling forward and pushing back, plus some spatial rules."

"No power source; this thing is interesting..."

After Lin An finished speaking, a flash of unusual color crossed his eyes.

Although his mastery of rules wasn't high either, he could still be called "well-informed." Having consumed so many Fifth Stage cultivators, Lin An could even determine the rule types by elimination.

Unlike Gao Tian and the others, who could only vaguely sense the warship's movement, in Lin An's eyes the entire starry sky had become a black-and-white vector diagram, and that warship was like a triangle made of lines, constantly twisting and deforming.

No engine nozzles; the so-called engine is hidden inside the warship, stirring up wave after wave of ripples.

"Not a conventional propulsion method, like spatial rules, nor instantaneous teleport..."

"The repulsive and gravitational rules used for acceleration are more like throwing a rope onto the shore to pull this warship along, also with a positioning effect?"

A slight doubt rose in Lin An's mind; frankly, this was his first contact with a higher civilization's artifact. The Sky-Eye people's technology is still within his comprehension, but the Creators' methods are like the pyramids—another branch of the tech tree.

This warship's combined use of rules is probably stronger than most War Star Level vessels.

Especially...

"Flickering? Skipping stones?"

In Lin An's extraordinary perception, he could clearly see that besides constantly accelerating, the warship itself would occasionally pause for a few microseconds, then the whole hull would flash.

If time were slowed a hundredfold, this scene would resemble an old movie with frames missing.

The moment he noticed this, Lin An realized the rules employed on this warship were likely quite valuable.

(Maybe we could seize it? With the Omniscience Domain, we should be able to parse some special rules..)

No longer thinking further, Lin An expressionlessly watched the massive warship rushing toward them in an almost straight line. He had already issued a warning; if this squad refused to stop, he could only assist the other side.

360,000 kilometers...

200,000 kilometers..

180,000...

80,000...!

The distance kept closing.

At the same time, the Creator squad stationed in the observation window also noticed the unmoving "monkey" army.

"Looks like these monkeys really intend to stop us. Standing still at the Earth-Moon orbit, are they treating themselves as a human wall?"

"I don't even know if that monkey named Andre is mixed in among them."

"He's probably there, isn't it showing two Fourth Stage Peaks? According to the info we received earlier, one is Andre, the other is likely that newly emerged monkey."

While the squad chatted and joked casually, they felt that Lin An and the others in the distance were the most ignorant race they had ever encountered in their lives.

Leaving aside whether they could stop them, the space between Earth and Moon is so vast; if they weren't too lazy to change course, these monkeys wouldn't even have the chance to encounter them.

Unimaginable, how low must the IQ of these idiots be to think of stopping them with mere manpower, and even just a bunch of Fourth Stage cultivators!

"Their courage is commendable."

Seemingly speaking in a complimentary tone, Aryan lightly laughed and then couldn't be bothered to care about these.

Whether they seek death or not, if Andre is stupid enough to commit suicide, they don't care. Bringing such low-IQ Fourth Stage cultivators into the Skull Cavern dungeon, entering means death, and they might even get them killed.

Anyway, their main task is also to investigate that Death Star Level entity; whether they take this monkey along or not doesn't matter.

"Could it be that the secret to surviving the Skull Cavern dungeon is simply being stupid enough?"

Aryan chuckled softly.

As the distance rapidly closed to about thirty thousand kilometers, the warship's gravitational effect had already begun to affect the Moon; in the stretching spatial ripples, vast amounts of lunar dust seemed to be sucked away, condensing into a spectacular dust storm.

Like an invisible maw, it was devouring the Moon's very body.

20,000 kilometers..

10,000 kilometers!

Under the warship's hyperspeed flight, the Creator warship, nearly ten thousand meters long, resembled a brilliant stream of light, with lunar dust pulled by gravity surging like threads toward it; from afar, the scene was extremely spectacular.

Moreover, if anyone could at this moment observe the Moon's orbital trajectory, they would clearly see that the entire lunar orbit had undergone a slight shift!

This is the destructive power of an advanced civilization; even if they merely dispatched a warship to fly over a lesser civilization's head, it would be a massive disaster!

No need to look anymore; as long as that group of monkeys remains on our route, even if they are over hundreds of kilometers away, they will still be pulled over—if they don't flee, it's death.

Prepare for Descent, let this ignorant planet know what is...

Huh?!
