Chapter 1546: The Sun Chaser (Part 23)

~10 min read 1,858 words

The moment the Skrull Empire's fleet collided with the insect troop, the scene was completely out of control.

No one expected that the hook feet of those bugs, which looked no different from carbon-based organisms, could directly tear the hull of the battleship made of advanced materials of the Skrull Empire.

The shield-type battleship used to resist the first wave of energy impact was not penetrated by lasers, but was directly torn into pieces by the specialized giant feet of the Flying Sickle. The subsequent beam rays completely destroyed the Annihilator battleship behind the shield-type escort ship. The laser weapon that was still charging had no room to play, and was penetrated together with the turret.

Dorrek VII roared in the command room: "Quick, let more escort ships top up, we must ensure our firepower output, and beat back this wave of their attack!"

More and more escort ships rushed up, and the dense formation almost squeezed the empty cosmic space tightly. However, the opponent's bug-sea tactics were obviously much smarter than the Skrull Empire's ship-sea, or rather, it seemed that this was a strategy formulated to deal with the Skrull Empire's combat style.

Magneto, who was turning into a magnetic field to oversee everything, discovered this point earlier. He was born in the war era and had richer experience in this, so he immediately sent a message to Mystique, who was disguised as Lilandra.

"This group of bugs probably stole the combat reports with the Skrull Empire from the Kree Empire long ago. They analyzed the basic combat style of the Skrulls from these reports and formulated a strategy to deal with it. They are smarter than we imagined."

Mystique frowned slowly. Although her face was heavy, she didn't show much shock. If the Annihilation Wave wasn't strong enough, the Kree Empire wouldn't have suffered such a big loss.

She immediately sent a message to Dorrek VII and said: "Change your strategy immediately. Your combat style has been figured out by them."

Dorrek VII also reacted at this time. He cursed in a low voice and said: "The impact of the fall of the Kree Empire's capital star sector is greater than we imagined. Miscalculated."

"General Ando, immediately pass my order, abandon the fire-line defense, turn to three-dimensional maneuver, strengthen side-firing firepower, and kill them from the side before that group of damn worms fires!"

The Skrull called General Ando immediately executed the Emperor's order meticulously. Dorrek VII couldn't be called a good emperor, or even a tyrant, but he was never weaker than others in fighting. Any emperor spent 90% of his life fighting, so the control of tactics would sooner or later become an instinct.

The soldiers of the militaristic state also had quite high combat literacy. Within seconds, the frontline team had changed tactics. The new tactics soon played a role. When the Skrull Empire's fleet no longer focused on defense, but expanded the encirclement, the shooter worms hiding behind exposed their fragile abdomens and were quickly eliminated. For a time, the war situation reversed.

Looking at the worms being beaten to juice on the projection screen, the expression on Dorrek VII's face did not ease. He knew that any new tactic was definitely effective the moment it was implemented, but this was just occupying the first-attack advantage. To know how the enemy's command level was, he had to look at the subsequent response.

Looking at the war situation on the projection screen, Dorrek's brows frowned tighter and tighter. After a while, he cursed in a low voice and said: "It's the damn brain-linked command again! Just like that group of idiots in the Kree Empire!"

In interstellar warfare, there is a special form of combat command called "brain-linked command," which means the command center can directly control the brain of every individual soldier, driving them to complete tactical commands. Obviously, the Kree Empire's command style is a typical brain-linked command.

As the supreme ruler of the Kree Empire, the Supreme Intelligence possesses extremely high computing power, allowing him to precisely control every Kree Empire soldier to complete tasks in a large-scale interstellar operation, which also gives the Skrull Empire a headache.

The Skrull Empire has developed many tactics against this kind of command during the thousand-year war, the most famous of which is the brainwave blocker.

But the problem is that all the blocking instruments of the Skrull Empire are aimed at the brainwaves sent by the Supreme Intelligence, which is completely different from the insect race. Due to the tight time, the Skrull Empire even failed to collect enough frequency band transmission data of the enemy, let alone crack it, let alone block it.

Watching the insect race build an arc-shaped defense line through exquisite cooperation again, Dorrek hammered the operation panel fiercely, picked up the communicator and roared at the other side: "Supreme Intelligence, can that damn big head of yours play any role?! Aren't you very good at cracking various frequency bands?!

"

The Supreme Intelligence said in a still indifferent tone: "The form of the command terminal of the other party's brain-link is different from mine. They should be the biological computer with the highest computing power in this universe so far."

"The biggest advantage of a super biological computer is that in addition to providing command, it can also provide special energy for cluster organisms. The new energy used by the Nova Corps on Xandar is similar to this."

"My intrusion cannot break through the enemy's energy barrier for the time being, and more data needs to be collected for decoding..."

"Waste!" Dorrek VII cursed. The Supreme Intelligence didn't talk back, just fell silent. And Mystique, who was playing Lilandra, said in the communication channel: "Now is not the time to quarrel. The warriors of the Mengyu tribe have already deployed two thousand small jump devices and tens of thousands of dimensional traps in the star system range. Cooperate with me to compress their formation, and reduce their number first!"

Mystique hung up the communication. Charles turned his wheelchair to her side, looked at the frontline war situation on the screen, and frowned: "I have the confidence to directly invade their command center with brainwaves, but I don't know what countermeasures they have. I believe that such a race must not have no mental defense means."

"This is too risky." Mystique shook her head and said: "Professor, your role should be more in reconnaissance and understanding the enemy situation in advance. Attacking the command center has high benefits, but the risk is too great. Mutants can't afford this risk."

Charles just wanted to open his mouth to say something, when he frowned slightly. Mystique looked at him and asked: "What's wrong, Professor, what did you find?"

"Their super units have appeared." Charles's tone became low. And at this time, Mystique had already discovered the clues from the screen projection.

Several giant figures mixed in the next wave of the insect army attracted everyone's attention. They were not the kind of bugs that won by quantity, and they didn't have the oppressive power of the dense insect sea, but they brought another kind of fear.

An insect giant with an upper body close to a human but a lower body like a crab knocked away a giant escort ship with one punch, then pulled over the wreckage of the battleship next to it and threw it towards the dimensional trap. After detonating the trap, it rushed towards the firepower battleship in the rear, instantly entering the land of no one.

Mystique widened her eyes and said incredulously: "This group of bugs actually chose the comprehensive route?! Our previous speculation was completely wrong!"

She immediately connected to the Skrull Empire Emperor's phone, and the other party also discovered this problem. Dorrek VII said at a rapid pace: "They are not a complete cluster race, they don't win by quantity, Infinite Eternal is above, they have also evolved super individuals!"

In the universe, the development of war civilization generally has two routes. One is the human-sea tactic, including mechanical armies, clone armies, or simply the race itself fighting hard to reproduce, all of which belong to this route. The Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire both belong to the cluster route of mechanical civilization.

The other is the super-life route, that is, the race population is not large, but each one is very powerful, capable of breaking ten thousand with one, and even producing various armaments to strengthen the combat power of these powerful individuals. The entire civilization develops around the strength of the individual. The representative civilization is of course Asgard.

So far, no civilization in this universe has chosen the comprehensive route, because the resources in the universe are limited, and the resources that a civilization can occupy and develop in a certain unit of time are also limited. Development must have gains and losses.

But the situation in the antimatter universe is special. There is only one civilization in the whole universe, and time is not equal to the positive matter universe. That is to say, they may have developed for trillions of years in the positive matter universe there, and then invaded the positive matter universe.

The evolution route of the Annihilation Wave has long since reached the end. Whether it is the cluster route or the individual route, it has been pointed to the end of the technology tree. Compared with it, these civilizations in the positive matter universe can only be said to have just started.

This has to be said about why the insect race in the antimatter universe wants to invade the positive matter universe. The mass of a universe is constant. The development of the Annihilation Wave for so many years has devoured more than half of the cosmic mass of the antimatter universe. The antimatter universe can no longer accommodate this race. They must find another way out.

This is not just an invasion war, but the final battle of life and death between the races of the two universes.

Either the insect race of the antimatter universe is annihilated by more than 90% of individuals, so that even if they return to the antimatter universe, they can continue to live with the remaining resources, or the positive matter universe is occupied by them. Let the resource-rich positive matter universe continue to provide them with resources that can be developed.

The performance of the Annihilation Wave made the leaders of most civilizations figure this out—the result of this war is not victory or defeat, but survival and destruction. It is a zero-sum game of life and death. Either win or die.

So, Mystique, who was disguised as Lilandra, immediately said to Dorrek: "Assemble the defense line, you are responsible for holding the frontal battlefield, and their super individuals are left to us to solve."

"Are you planning to let the Shi'ar twin gods enter the field? Don't forget, the other party also has god-level existence." Dorrek obviously didn't agree. In this case, whoever reveals the trump card first will definitely lose.

"Gods? Hmph... Mutants prepare to enter!" ===== CHAPTER 1547 =====
