Chapter 238
Lord Fu Xuan nodded with satisfaction, his gaze filled with expectation and trust.
"I believe in you, Zhou Xuan, Xing Luo. Remember, no matter how great the difficulties you encounter, you must maintain your faith, because you are the hope of this era."
Following Lord Fu Xuan's departure, Zhou Xuan and Xing Luo once again fell into deep thought.
They knew the road ahead remained difficult, but with this new equipment and Lord Fu Xuan's encouragement, they firmed up their beliefs even more.
In the days that followed, they devoted almost all their time to the research of new tactics and strategies.
Zhou Xuan used his wisdom, combined with the characteristics of the new equipment, to design an unprecedented tactical plan; while Xing Luo, relying on her keen perception of energy, constantly experimented with the various possibilities of the energy stone.
Their efforts were not in vain; as time passed, a brand-new plan gradually took shape in their minds.
This plan not only cleverly utilized the advantages of the new equipment but also fully considered the defense mechanism of the energy core, striving to complete the destruction mission with minimal losses.
However, just as they were preparing to set off again, unexpected news arrived—a rift had appeared within the Universe Alliance; some people began to question whether their plan was feasible, and some even suggested that they should abandon this seemingly impossible mission.
Facing the pressure from within, Zhou Xuan and Xing Luo did not retreat.
They knew that their persistence at this moment was not just for themselves, but for those people waiting for them to bring back hope.
Thus, they united even more closely, proving their determination and ability with practical actions.
"We will not give up!"
Zhou Xuan's voice was firm and powerful, echoing within the base. "No matter how difficult the road ahead, we must persist to the end!"
Xing Luo also held Zhou Xuan's hand tightly, her eyes flickering with a firm light.
"Yes! We are one; no matter what happens, we will face it together!"
Under their leadership, the wavering morale condensed once again.
The members of the Universe Alliance were also infected by their spirit and expressed their willingness to continue supporting their plan.
Just like that, Zhou Xuan and Xing Luo, carrying the hope and expectation of the entire Alliance, embarked on the journey once again.
They knew that more severe tests and challenges awaited them ahead, but they also believed that as long as there was love, faith, and persistence in their hearts, nothing could stop their footsteps.
As Zhou Xuan and Xing Luo approached the area where the energy core was located step by step, they realized that this challenge was far more difficult than they had imagined.
The energy core's defense mechanism was exceptionally powerful, capable of resisting almost any attack.
And although their new equipment was powerful, it appeared somewhat inadequate when facing such a strong opponent.
Just as they were falling into despair, Xing Luo suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon—whenever she tried to guide energy fluctuations with the energy stone, the energy core seemed to produce a faint resonance.
This discovery made their eyes light up, as if they had seen the dawn of hope.
"Zhou Xuan! Look! The energy core seems to be responding to me!" Xing Luo said excitedly, pointing at the energy core.
Zhou Xuan immediately understood what Xing Luo meant; he quickly adjusted the tactical plan, deciding to use this discovery to find a new method to destroy the energy core.
In the time that followed, they constantly tried, constantly failed, and then constantly tried again... Finally, in an attempt that nearly exhausted all their strength, they successfully guided a powerful energy shock that struck the core area of the energy core directly!
Following a deafening roar, the energy core began to tremble violently, then gradually disintegrated into countless fragments.
Zhou Xuan and Xing Luo looked at each other and smiled; they knew they had finally completed this seemingly impossible mission.
However, when they were preparing to evacuate, they unexpectedly discovered an even more astonishing secret—it turned out that a larger conspiracy was hidden behind the energy core.
"We cannot go on like this; every direct strike at the energy core is like throwing an egg against a rock."
Zhou Xuan crossed his arms, his brows locked in a frown; his eyes contained both frustration and unyielding spirit.
Ever since their last failed attempt to destroy that powerful energy core threatening the entire galaxy, they had fallen into deep thought.
Xing Luo walked gently to Zhou Xuan's side, her voice gentle and firm: "Yes, Zhou Xuan, we need to find its weakness, rather than blindly clashing head-on. Every failure is a step toward success."
The two looked at each other and smiled; that tacit understanding and trust seemed capable of piercing through all haze.
They knew that only with each other's support and encouragement could they continue to move forward on this thorny path.
"Then, let us start with its structure."
Zhou Xuan proposed, turning to look at a huge holographic projection in the center of the laboratory, which was simulating the complex structure of the energy core. "We need to thoroughly understand its operating principles to find a method of breakthrough."
Xing Luo nodded in agreement, and the two immediately threw themselves into intense research.
They pored over mountains of data, held video links with experts far away, and constantly exchanged their respective thoughts and discoveries.
In this process, Lord Fu Xuan and Dr. Truth unexpectedly joined their ranks.
Lord Fu Xuan, as one of the Five Heroes of the Cloud, possessed extraordinary wisdom and keen insight; while Dr. Truth was a famous dual genius in medicine and mechanics across the stars.
Their joining undoubtedly injected new vitality into Zhou Xuan and Xing Luo's research.
"Your methods are too direct; you have ignored the self-repair mechanism inside the energy core."
Lord Fu Xuan explained while operating a complex calculation model.
"We need to design a strategy capable of bypassing these mechanisms and striking the core directly."
Dr. Truth added from the side:
"At the same time, we must also consider the backlash effect that the energy core might produce. Once our plan fails, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Zhou Xuan and Xing Luo couldn't help but feel their hearts tighten upon hearing this.
But they also understood that this was precisely the challenge they had to face.
Thus, the four began to cooperate more closely, utilizing their respective expertise to explore unknown possibilities together.
After countless days and nights of fighting, Zhou Xuan finally found a breakthrough point during an accidental opportunity.
It was during a late-night simulation experiment that he accidentally discovered the energy core would exhibit brief energy fluctuations at a specific frequency; although this fluctuation was small, it was enough to become the opportunity for their attack.
"Xing Luo, look at this!"
Zhou Xuan pointed excitedly at the data fluctuations on the holographic projection, his eyes flickering with excited light.
"If we can launch an attack at this frequency, perhaps we can directly destroy the stable structure of the energy core!"
Xing Luo carefully examined the data, and joy also appeared in her eyes:
"This is indeed a brilliant idea! But how can we ensure we can accurately launch the attack at that exact moment?"
Zhou Xuan pondered for a moment and said:
"We need a precise time controller, as well as a weapon capable of producing sufficient destructive power at this frequency. This might require us to perform some special modifications."
483 Lord Fu Xuan and Dr. Truth immediately threw themselves into new research upon hearing this.
They utilized their professional knowledge and technical resources to begin designing and manufacturing the required equipment.
While Zhou Xuan and Xing Luo continued to study other characteristics of the energy core, making final preparations for the upcoming decisive battle.
In this process, Xing Luo always stayed by Zhou Xuan's side, giving him spiritual support and encouragement.
Whenever Zhou Xuan felt tired or frustrated, she would gently hold his hand and tell him with those eyes full of strength: "We will definitely succeed."
Finally, on a night with a bright moon and sparse stars, everything was ready.
Zhou Xuan, Xing Luo, Lord Fu Xuan, and Dr. Truth stood on a well-equipped spaceship, looking at the starry sky ahead illuminated by the energy core.
They knew this would be an unprecedented battle, but they also believed that as long as they were united as one, nothing was impossible.
"Are you ready?" Zhou Xuan took a deep breath and asked.
"Ready!" the other three answered in unison.
Following Zhou Xuan's order, the spaceship flew rapidly toward the location of the energy core.
At the moment of approaching the target, they activated the time controller and the special weapon.
At that moment, the entire universe seemed to stand still; only that fatal energy beam pierced through the energy core's defense layer, striking its core directly.
Following a deafening explosion, the energy core was finally successfully destroyed.
At that moment, the entire galaxy trembled because of it.
Zhou Xuan, Xing Luo, Lord Fu Xuan, and Dr. Truth stood on the spaceship, looking at the starry sky that was gradually returning to calm, their hearts filled with the joy of victory and pride.
However, they also knew that this was just a starting point in their long journey.
In the days to come, there were more challenges and unknowns waiting for them to explore and conquer.
But they believed that as long as they maintained this faith and courage, nothing could stop their footsteps.
Under the witness of the stars, Zhou Xuan and Xing Luo stood side-by-side on the bridge of the Universe Alliance flagship, their eyes like torches, staring fixedly at the star field shrouded in darkness ahead.
That was the place where the energy core was located, and also the greatest threat facing the Universe Alliance.
Their heartbeats resonated with the warship's engines, as if the entire universe were poised for this moment.
"Are you ready, Xing Luo?"
Zhou Xuan's voice was low and firm; he turned around, his gaze falling gently on Xing Luo.
This former interstellar ranger had now become his most solid comrade and partner.
297. 【A Hint of Worry Flashed in the Eyes】
Xing Luo smiled slightly, her eyes flickering with fearless light:
"Of course, we have been preparing for this for too long."
