Chapter 138

If there is something Lin Qi cannot solve, then I fear only an Aeon stepping in would have a way, right?

Therefore.

Despite the loud alarms here, it is actually one of the few safe places in the universe.

But there were also those with their own thoughts.

"Doctor, do you need me to take action?"

Firefly volunteered.

She had been staying on the Azure, experiencing the different life brought by her new existence.

This experience was truly beautiful.

It made her very quiet.

However, she never forgot who brought all of this about.

Therefore.

Upon discovering the situation at hand, Firefly’s first thought was to help.

Lin Qi was slightly surprised.

But after considering it, he reminded her.

"The intruder is an Emanator; are you sure you want to participate?"

An Emanator?

Firefly paused.

Clearly, she had not expected the intruder's level to be this high.

But she did not retreat, her tone firm.

"Doctor, if you need it, send me!"

"It seems you are quite confident," Lin Qi laughed. "If you want to go, give it a try, but be careful; Emanators are not easy to deal with."

"Understood!"

Firefly nodded seriously, then summoned her mecha and left the ship.

"Commander, is Firefly going to be okay?" Serval’s face showed worry.

Even though she didn't have much interstellar travel experience, she clearly understood what level an Emanator was.

Ordinary Pathstriders simply cannot bridge the gap with an Emanator.

The two have an almost essential difference.

And Firefly?

She might be very strong.

But she is definitely not an Emanator.

For this reason.

Lin Qi knew what Serval was worried about.

But how could he let his Iron Cavalry "Empress" take unnecessary risks?

For one.

Lin Qi knew Firefly’s strength was not weak and that she had unknown trump cards.

For two.

Firefly is not fighting alone.

Lin Qi’s Heaven-Burning Colossus, mechanical legions, and various high-energy weapons are not just for show; wouldn't they provide support?

And the opposing Emanator of Destruction is only one person.

Therefore.

Even if the gap is large, it won't be a situation of having no power to fight back.

Finally.

Lin Qi is there to cover, ensuring nothing goes wrong.

With the ability to teleport, Lin Qi can reach the battlefield quickly.

So he is very calm.

Plus, with the Time Cloth, no matter how severe the injury, as long as one isn't dead, they can recover as before.

Therefore.

There is nothing to worry about at all.

Rather than thinking about this, it is better to focus on whether the deployed configuration can block an Emanator.

At this moment.

That Emanator of Destruction had already made contact with Lin Qi’s vanguard, the mechanical legion.

Because they were far away and most of the mechanical legion units were small, it wasn't very clear.

However, judging by the successive signal loss alerts, they couldn't block them at all.

They were completely cannon fodder.

Regarding this.

Lin Qi didn't feel any heartache.

Anyway, these mechanical legions were products from ten years ago; the technology was already outdated, and it was time for them to be phased out.

Although they could be updated, Lin Qi’s subsequent legions would still be primarily organic.

Just as he was thinking this.

That Emanator had already approached the attack range of the energy weapons.

For a time.

In addition to the mechanical legion, there were energy weapon positions built relying on the asteroid belt.

Because the quantity was sufficient, even from far away, some flashes of fire could be seen.

"The speed of advance seems to be hindered?"

Lin Qi examined it.

He discovered that this Emanator was not injured, but rather spent some time dismantling the energy cannons on the positions.

That was why their pace was slowed down.

Clearly.

Relying solely on these things to deal with an Emanator was still quite impossible.

Regarding this.

Lin Qi was not very surprised.

Actually, it is normal for the mechanical legion to fail to block them, but for the energy weapon positions to fail, it was entirely due to insufficient power.

Because high-power energy weapons easily cause collateral damage to stellar megastructures.

So Lin Qi’s trump card was still the Colossus.

The Colossus is actually a planet-targeting weapon that can destroy a planet in various ways.

But Lin Qi didn't need its lethality against planets at all.

In short, Lin Qi felt its power was too small.

And then.

Lin Qi modified the Colossus.

Changing it from "planet-targeting" to "individual-targeting," that is, to deal with powerful individuals.

This modification project was by no means small.

It could even be said that it was modified into a giant mecha, increasing flexibility while maintaining power.

Thereby enhancing the defensive capabilities of the stellar mine.

It is no exaggeration to say.

Such a Colossus could easily destroy several civilizations.

Even powerful Pathstriders might not be its match.

And at this moment.

There were four such Colossi here!

The moment that Emanator broke through the position, the four Colossi arrived at the battlefield.

Each Colossus was as large as the moon!

When they started fighting, it was world-shattering...

Clearly.

This time, the Emanator could not break through easily.

For a time.

Countless asteroids were shattered.

So much so that a huge void appeared in that combat area, where, besides cosmic dust, only the four Colossi and one Emanator were left fighting.

Not only that.

Firefly also arrived at the battlefield.

She simply observed for a moment, then without any hesitation, threw herself into the battlefield.

She wasn't so stupid as to wait for the enemy to deal with the Colossi and then have a "fair" duel.

Only a fool would do that.

Besides.

For her, a non-Emanator Pathstrider, to fight an Emanator, was inherently unfair.

She should take advantage of the numerical superiority.

Even...

Enter a special state directly, that is, go all out!

The next moment.

Firefly’s SAM mecha no longer burned with red flames but appeared with green fluorescence, and two long swords manifested from Path power suddenly appeared by her side.

Her entire speed also suddenly increased by a notch.

Almost turning into a green rainbow!

Her slashes were even enough to cut down stars!

"Is this Firefly’s true strength?"

Looking at the footage transmitted from the battlefield, Lin Qi couldn't help but sigh.

Last time at the Palace of Yepera, Firefly had indeed held back.

She was in her complete state now.

How should one describe her strength...

Very strong!

At least Lin Qi thought about it, and in the Yarilo galaxy, besides himself and Ruan Mei, I fear no one could be more powerful than her.

Miss Miss Xueyi couldn't, and Seele couldn't either.

Although they were not weak and could also explode stars, compared to Firefly, they were still lacking.

The key is that this is Firefly’s own strength.

Lin Qi hadn't provided her with any modification help.

No Curio items had been given either.

Therefore.

Firefly still had plenty of room for improvement.

"Seems worth cultivating well."

Lin Qi thought for a moment.

If her mecha were modified and supplemented with various items, what level could she reach?

For instance, right now.

If he used the Magnifying Lamp to enlarge her sword to planetary size, even an Emanator wouldn't dare to take it head-on, right?

In terms of power alone, it could almost make Firefly infinitely close to an Emanator.

In this way.

Even if Lin Qi and Ruan Mei were not in Yarilo, there would be no need to worry about having no way to resist if an Emanator-level entity invaded.

On the other side.

Faced with the combined efforts of the four Colossi and Firefly, that Emanator of Destruction could only stop their advance.

Clearly.

Even for them, facing the current situation, they couldn't be too casual.

Otherwise, their goal could not be achieved.

For a time.

The battle broke out again.

The void in the asteroid belt grew larger and larger, and under the attacks of this Emanator, a megastructure that was relatively close also began to be affected.

"High-energy radiation, cyclone storms, scorching rays..."

"This Emanator really knows quite a few things."

After some examination, Lin Qi finally discovered the information he wanted.

First.

That is the origin of this Emanator.

They are indeed an Emanator of Destruction, one of the Lord Ravagers.

They are also the Lord Ravager most keen on violent destruction, holding the title of "One-Person Army," obsessed with the power and beauty erupted at the moment of destruction, and having an extreme preference for the scenes of the apocalypse.

So they are...

"Phantylia?"

Lin Qi compared it with the database and found the most fitting subject.

In fact.

Only this Lord Ravager rarely uses the Antimatter Legion.

Their motive for coming to the stellar mine can also be inferred.

Very obviously.

They came for the anti-galactic weapons.

The "aesthetics of destruction" of these weapons should have suited their taste.

Lin Qi speculated.

Then he rose from the sofa.

After simply stretching his muscles and bones, Lin Qi gave the spaceship a command for full-power protection and to move away, then left the ship.

Because at this moment.

The battle was nearing its end.

Although the cores of the four Colossi were still intact and Firefly hadn't suffered too much injury.

But Lin Qi could see that they were reaching their limits.

To be precise.

It was that Phantylia didn't want to drag it out any longer.

That was why Lin Qi came out.

The mechanical legion and energy cannon positions didn't matter; these were not only outdated but could also be mass-produced, so he didn't feel any heartache if they were damaged.

But the Colossi and Firefly were different.

Especially Firefly; Lin Qi didn't want her to have an accident here.

Even setting aside the Iron Cavalry.

She was one of Yarilo’s top combat forces for the future.

"Fall back; they are about to get serious, you can't handle it, leave the rest to me."

Lin Qi suddenly appeared in front of Firefly and said softly.

"I understand, Doctor!"

Firefly didn't act coy and directly retreated with the Colossi.

She knew her state very well.

She was indeed reaching her limit.

She had also burned quite a bit of vitality; if nothing went wrong, she would have to find Lin Qi to replenish it later.

But right now, this was not the time to think about that.
