Chapter 2191

How long does it take to move 1,000 kilometers at 400 times the speed of sound?

The answer is seconds.

Perhaps this calculation result is meaningless for many War Star Level beings.

But for Batuolu, each second feels like a death countdown.

Especially, he even froze for a full second.

"Warning! Target speed exceeds tracking limit!"

"Predicted collision in seconds!"

In the piercing alarm sound, the critical timer, precise to six decimal places, jumped rapidly.

Seeing that only six seconds remained before contact with that black light, Batuolu finally came to his senses with a sharp cry.

Only to see him jump up like a madman, desperately rushing toward the control console.

Bang!!

He slammed his right hand down, and as sparks flew from the entire control console, an intangible command was transmitted at light speed instantly.

In an instant, the originally open ground cracked open like a honeycomb full of holes, and the mechanical augmented bodies hidden underground, lying in wait, surged out instantly.

Cold, each over ten meters tall, the mechanical goblins instantly turned into steel walls, firmly blocking the front line. Seeing the impenetrable mechanical legion begin to operate, Batuolu's panic eased somewhat.

Too terrifying!

400 times the speed of sound—this speed already completely exceeds his cognition; know that even a Star-Destroying Level being rarely reaches this speed without relying on rules!

But fortunately, no matter what that thing is, as long as it doesn't slow down, it will definitely be intercepted by his mechanical legion! At such tremendous kinetic energy, no flesh-and-blood body could withstand it! Know that each of those mechanical constructs weighs ten thousand tons! Moreover, they are equipped with radiation furnaces!

As long as that thing rushes over, even if it doesn't get smashed to death, it will be blown to pieces!

At the same time, the other goblins, equally frightened, also wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads in exhaustion.

Perhaps because they equally understood the repulsiveness of these mechanical legions, after taking heavy breaths, they couldn't help but blurt out to Batuolu:

"Captain......! What the hell is this thing!?"

"We detected no rule fluctuations! A Fourth Rank moving this fast—could we be under an illusion!? Goblin god above! Truly seeing ghosts!"

Hearing the panicked voices of his teammates, Batuolu forced calm, directly rejecting their ideas; only to see him stare fixedly at the screen and speak quickly:

"It cannot be an illusion attack! If it truly could plunge us into illusion from a thousand kilometers away, that would be even more terrifying than this speed!"

"Some extremely special, extremely speed-specialized special lifeform? It should be...... should be a monster created by some civilization! Its speed is so fast, other aspects must be weak! Once its speed drops, we'll know what it is!"

No wonder Batuolu would think that.

There are too many civilized species; they will always produce some bizarre life forms. For example, some specially elementalized Fifth Rank beings can ignore physical attacks and move at high speed without resistance. But these abilities have flaws; great traits often correspond to deadly weaknesses.

Although thinking this way still feels off, in Batuolu's cognition, this is the only possibility!

It is impossible for a Star-Destroying Level participant to appear on the Radiant Battlefield; this is an iron law!

"Radiation Energy Goblins! What happened over there!? Why activate the awakened legion? Did another team come over?"

Communications from the same area immediately followed.

Only to see in the a2 area, several humanoid Fifth Rank beings resembling radiation engineers asked in confusion.

They lack the Radiation Goblins' technological means, so without sensing even a hint of rule fluctuations, they truly cannot understand how these goblins suddenly activated the mechanical legion. Knowing how stingy these goblins are, they don't believe the goblins would waste resources for nothing.

Especially, although the two areas are close, the Eternal Summit is simply too vast. The two teams are six to seven hundred kilometers apart; this distance poses no problem for support, but wanting to 'see' clearly what happened here is truly difficult.

"We don't know what it is! A special lifeform!? It's very fast! We're not sure yet! You pay attention to this side!"

"But I should know right away what that thing actually is!"

Not having time to explain more to the Radiation Energy Alliance personnel, Batuolu stared fixedly at the monitor. Their deployed mechanical augmented bodies are distributed within a hundred-kilometer range! In another two seconds, if that thing doesn't slow down, it will definitely collide!

As long as it stops, he will know whether that thing is an elemental lifeform or some random nonsense!

No, perhaps it doesn't need to be that close; at such tremendous speed, deceleration also requires sufficient distance, otherwise, under the immense recoil, even an interstellar warship would instantly disintegrate!

However, contrary to Batuolu's expectations, looking into its large, glossy green eyes, that black light, which even made tracking the gaze difficult, showed no sign of slowing down at all.

At a speed exceeding the speed of sound by many times, sound cannot be transmitted. It's as if a silent slideshow is playing before their eyes.

For some reason, Batuolu even felt in his mind that this light was like a paper cutter, intending to slice them all apart! This feeling made him feel somewhat absurd!

Moreover...

Not slowing down? Why isn't it slowing down!?

They strained their eyes to follow the black light's movement; every goblin present held their breath, staring fixedly at the impending collision.

Two seconds passed in an instant.

But the result once again exceeded everyone's expectations.

No explosion, no sound, no deceleration.

Only to see that upon contacting the first mechanical augmented body, that black light seemed to vanish, completely submerged within the legion.

One second, two seconds...

Time seemed frozen; under the extreme tension of the entire goblin squad, the whole world appeared to move in slow motion, playing out frame by frame.

They could see behind the massive ranks of mecha blocking the front, spewing green radiation; they could see from a thousand meters away, continuous burst rings flaring up like a nuclear explosion. They could even see these mechanical augmented bodies faithfully executing orders, layer upon layer forming copper walls and iron barriers.

But.

They simply could not see Lin An.

They could not see what happened to that streak of black light after it struck the mechanical augmented body.

"How could there be no explosion!? Where are the people!? Where is that thing!?"

Unable to help it, Batuolu suddenly felt a strong sense of panic, as if an invisible grim reaper stood atop his head, making every hair on his body stand on end!

Impossible not to explode! Impossible not to be intercepted! This violates physical law, logic, and even his cognition! An air burst implies a physical entity! Even if that thing is akin to a spiritual entity, it would be interfered with by the radiation engine, draining its power!

Under intense unease, a Fifth Rank goblin suddenly seemed to think of something, stiffening in place.

No.

If there is no earth-shattering collision as imagined, no explosion, then there is still another possibility!

That is...

The strength of that thing's body far exceeds these Mechanical Augmented Bodies! It's like a bullet piercing tofu! Under the overwhelming strength crushing, these mechanical bodies will be as fragile as paper, being pierced through alive!
