Chapter 583

He pulled the communicator over and said sternly:

"Enemy units detected."

Immediately, there was a response from the combat command center:

"Understood, artillery support is in place, and firepower coverage on the enemy is about to begin."

After receiving the reply, the commander felt relieved.

Although the Foundation was a bit panicked and at a loss in the initial response.

But now, the mystery had been revealed, the mastermind behind the scenes had stepped onto the stage, and the boring disguises of these hateful guys had been torn to shreds.

All that awaited them was pure destruction.

Even if they worshipped the "Fifth Starfish," one of the supreme divinities.

Accompanied by a slight sound of wind, the thick fog dispersed a bit.

A vast open space appeared before the commander's eyes—or rather, on the hillside, a large, abnormally empty area appeared out of thin air.

The commander could only barely guess that the area seemed to have been artificially organized, and many huge, interrelated graphics were pieced together with stones of different materials, seemingly pointing to something.

Those believers who followed the "Five" stood in an orderly manner on the various nodes of the graphics, as if welcoming the arrival of the convoy.

But the commander felt vaguely that they seemed to be mocking silently.

Mocking a group of mortals for daring to defy the ultimate laws of the universe, defying the great master who bestowed life and existence.

Immediately after, before he could react, he heard a low, muffled sound coming from far behind him.

Rumble!

Like muffled thunder.

Something streaked across above the convoy.

First dozens, then hundreds, thousands.

Particle beams accelerated to near the speed of light shot toward the positions constructed by those believers.

He was just about to curl his lips and announce the return of the Dragon King, but reality gave him absolutely no chance to pop the champagne.

There was no explosion as he had expected, nor was there a doomsday scene where the entire mountain was pierced and melted.

It seemed as if nothing had happened.

No...

Through the telescope, the commander saw with his own eyes what was going on.

—Above the position, there was an invisible barrier that blocked all the Foundation's long-range attacks.

"Damn it..."

He cursed under his breath.

That was a full salvo from the floating warships!

Such a round of attacks could easily erase a mountain range and delete a city.

Yet it was dissolved silently like this?

He suddenly had a bad premonition.

I'm afraid the "Fifth Starfish" has already begun to intervene in the real universe.

Everything that belongs to the "Unknown" realm for the Foundation, whether it is a ritual or a living being, is likely protected by this supreme divinity.

Cannot be killed.

At the same time, on the other side, in the orbit of Jarilo-VI.

"Brothers, in order to expel the minions of that false god from the universe, we must be prepared to experience 'Omniscience' once again."

The interstellar warriors and mobile task force members who had just experienced the feeling of "Omniscience."

At this very moment, they were preparing inside the starship, equipping the environmental cognition system named "Hundred Eyes-III," ready to be thrown back into battle at any time.

"Boss, this feeling is not bad."

An interstellar warrior shook his arm, adapting to the all-around, no-dead-angle vision.

Changes in senses require a certain amount of time to adapt; without the assistance of equipment, this process would take at least several months, or even years.

Because this involves changes in the underlying physiological structure and underlying cognitive logic of humans.

But with the assistance of new equipment, whether it is an interstellar warrior who is a demigod, or a task force member who is just a mortal, they are adapting quickly.

Feeling the peculiar sensation called "Omniscience."

All the secrets of the world were opened to them.

Just at this moment, the voice of the fleet commander rang out on the starship's broadcast:

"The battle situation on the ground is not very good."

"Our most advanced equipment can no longer break through the protection with 'Unknown' characteristics; you need to hurry up."

The captain pressed the communication button:

"Understood, ready for airdrop at any time."

"Herta" Space Station, Herta's office.

Herta rested her arms on the desk, thought for a moment, and then slowly looked up:

"I roughly understand what the struggle between supreme divinities is about."

Screwllum nodded slightly: "I also have a certain clue."

"Similar to the Path, but the gap is also quite large."

Both are related to concepts, but the concepts held by supreme divinities are not necessarily unique.

Herta hummed and continued to look at the screen, paying attention to the war happening on Jarilo-VI.

"To defeat a supreme divinity, one must fully understand its corresponding concept, then find the completely opposite concept, and then utilize it."

"The concept corresponding to the 'Fifth Starfish' in this anomaly is 'Unknown'; the Foundation found the concept completely opposite to 'Unknown,' which is 'Omniscience,' and used it as a weapon to fight back."

The process of finding concepts is not difficult; the most difficult part only requires knowledge of philosophy, semiotics, logic, etc.

But wanting to transform abstract concepts into concrete reality is undoubtedly incomparably difficult.

Screwllum thought so.

Even if he knew that "Omniscience" could restrain the "Unknown" of the "Fifth Starfish," he didn't know how to make a person possess this level of power.

Even "Nous" has not reached the level of "Omniscience," and still calculates day after day to crack the mysteries of the universe.

With a bang, firelight accompanied by an explosion tore through the dimness in the thick fog, and a powerful ritual instantly destroyed a heavy armored vehicle with shields and armor in the convoy.

The latter was lifted by the aftermath of the explosion, torn apart, and turned into molten metal and scorching wreckage.

However, more strange buzzing sounds continued to ring out from the distance, and more deep and terrifying colored light fell from the sky.

Without a doubt, those believers of the "Fifth Starfish" had detected the Foundation's movements and were determined to stop their pace.

"We need support!"

"We're done for!"

"Sacrifice for the tomorrow of humanity!"

A tank commander shouted loudly, while quickly turning the vehicle body to block between the enemy ritual position and the transport vehicles.

The agents inside the vehicle acted quickly; some lay on the roof, raising their guns and shooting, while others picked up implosion bomb launchers, pulled the triggers, and splashed destruction toward the enemy position.

Even if it was useless.

The shouting and roaring of the agents were accompanied by the sharp screeching of the ritual breaking through the air, like fluorescent light, yet still eye-catching.

The commander had no time to mourn the sacrifice of his team members—thick beams pointed straight at the firmament, and the commander looked up in astonishment, seeing a starship cut in half slowly falling from the sky.

And behind him, a floating warship was also pierced through the energy hub by a super-long-range ritual, exploding violently, and a fireball like a scorching sun rose into the sky, instantly setting off a storm.

This is likely the most severe loss the Foundation has suffered since entering the interstellar era.

"Luo Fu" Xianzhou, Exalting Sanctum.

Yanqing looked at the steel behemoth burning and disintegrating in the atmosphere.

"General... this..."

In the boy's cognition, a starship like the Foundation's could contend with the IPC's planet-destroying ships for a considerable amount of time even when facing them alone.

How could it be pierced, or even cut in half, by an attack that looked like it had no power in such a short time.

"Yanqing, this is a war between humans and gods." Jing Yuan said calmly. ===== CHAPTER 585 =====
