Chapter 74: I Will Leap Within the Atmosphere!
The thick smoke remains.
But the solid shield resembles an oval blue protective shell, enclosing the warship that is only a hair's breadth from disintegrating.
At the same time, the warship's close-range firepower begins to unleash dense barrages, constantly sweeping the surrounding swarm of Terran biological cannonballs.
The barrages that previously missed for half a day, and when they hit could only be slightly diminished, now sweep through and directly create a dazzling plasma "firework" in space.
At this moment, the ground battle's attention has been completely drawn to space.
Not only did the Green Skin look up in shock, but even the swarms of insects paused briefly; billions upon billions of insects simultaneously lifted their heads to glance at the sky.
Then they stared for several seconds, meaning the planet-wide insect swarms abruptly braked for several seconds before the battle resumed.
However, this time, whether Green Skin or the insects, their attacks were no longer as fierce as before.
The humans on the mountaintop finally got a breather.
They easily repelled the feeble attacks, and then everyone furrowed their brows and looked toward the orbit.
After all, when the barrage turned into Light Whip, constantly using Terran biological dark clouds to set off fireworks on the orbit, at least on the surface the scene was indeed spectacular.
Of course, if you add those main cannons that, like on stimulants, fire one after another, continuously spewing high‑intensity Light Spears at surrounding biological ships and Green Skin vessels, the picture becomes even more shocking.
After all, each Light Spear, even if it penetrates several Alien Form warships in a single shot, feels like a loss.
So that after just watching for a moment, the battle cruiser that had been surrounded by numerous Terran and Green Skin warships suddenly found its surroundings… empty!
The surface survivors watched for a while, then after pondering, a group of them turned a wave of dissatisfaction toward Fanluosi.
Even Astat clearly showed discontent.
After all, your battle cruiser has this power; why didn't you deploy it earlier, waiting until the battle turned this way before activating it?
Fanluosi also stared up blankly for a moment, and faced the accusing gazes of those around him, his eyes twitching as he forced his rigid neck down.
At the same time, deep down he even doubted himself.
Don't misunderstand; Fanluosi certainly wouldn't doubt when his flagship gained this power, since it's his own flagship and he knows the battle cruiser too well.
He only wondered whether Xisi not only possesses the Divine Emperor, Terror Blessing, but also obtained the true transmission of Omu Messiah?!
Thinking that, Fanluosi looked up again, gazing at his flagship that seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, showing a genuine side it had never shown to its rightful master.
Fanluosi didn't have Ana's oddity; he simply, from his perspective as a Judge, compared notes, then shook his head at his inner doubts, while his eyes flashed with sudden enlightenment.
"Omu Messiah true transmission? No! Lord Sisi himself is Omu Messiah!"
"No wonder the Divine Emperor bestows such Blessing on Lord Sisi..."
Fanluosi, filled with sudden insight, couldn't help whispering, not to mention how spectacular the Mechanical Priests around him looked upon hearing it.
At this moment on the Bridge, that Mechanical Priest was so excited that he knelt devoutly on the Bridge, repeatedly shouting "Omu Messiah" at Xisi, invoking its presence!
Even many Mechanical Monks nearby immediately began kneeling and worshipping Xisi.
This scene left the mortal crew dumbfounded; after all, anyone watching this legion of millennia‑old mechanical faces of the Mechanical Church, all turning into fanatical believers bowing to a Star Realm Army Commander, would think either they've fallen victim to a Subspace curse or they simply haven't woken up yet.
Even Xisi had to temporarily cease his inspection of the warship, looking down at the group of Mechanical Monks with a hint of helplessness.
Because, although there were only so few people, after Hundredfold Amplification, Xisi could barely sense a very faint yet genuinely existent foreign power being transmitted to him through these members of the Mechanical Church.
And this power seemed to share many similarities with the Blessing bestowed by the Divine Emperor, Terror, and Color Devil.
"Is this Faith Power?"
Feeling the Faith Power, which even after Hundredfold Amplification remained too weak to have any effect, Xisi initially paused before stopping the Mechanical Church's words, then withdrew.
Then, refocusing on the warship, after a brief thought, he suddenly grabbed a Laser Rifle, performed a mock "Soothing Ritual" in front of the Mechanical Priest, then raised his hand and fired a Hundredfold Amplification shot at the empty ship deck.
Xisi's Soothing Ritual was, of course, neither standard nor devout.
Yet, faced with Xisi's casual soothing that caused the Laser Rifle's Machine Soul to surge to such exaggerated power, the Mechanical Priest saw no issue with Xisi's actions.
If one must say there's a problem, it can only be with these members of the Mechanical Church!
Seeing the Mechanical Priest become even more devout, and his own Faith Power indeed strengthening with the fervor, Xisi finally withdrew his attention, allowing the Mechanical Priest to continue leading the kneeling worship.
Then, watching Ana turn around to indicate everything was ready, Xisi finally checked his watch, confirming that the agreed time was still now, and he looked up.
He raised his hand slightly, and the entire Bridge fell silent at Xisi's signal.
The Mechanical Priest, also excited, stood up; with little flesh left on his face, he tried his best to pull out an expression called "respect", while mechanical sounds conveyed intense anxiety.
"Lord, should we Leap away from here?"
"Forgive my bluntness, your safety right now is more important than anything!"
The Mechanical Priest sincerely worried Xisi, and Xisi, facing the gazes of everyone on the Bridge, paused briefly, then pressed down with his right hand.
When Xisi pointed to the ground, everyone was stunned, and then Xisi's words shocked the crowd.
"Take the warship into the atmosphere!"
The Bridge fell silent instantly; even the Mechanical Priest was momentarily stunned, and although he didn't question whether the propulsion was sufficient, he still expressed concern from another angle:
"Lord, although the warship has been greatly enhanced now, its damage is still too severe."
"If we head to the surface now and then try to ascend while under Alien Form fire, it will likely be extremely difficult."
The Mechanical Priest said this while glancing around the Bridge; even with Xisi's Hundredfold Amplification, the warship's damage was still a bit too great.
Moreover, the Mechanical Priest's words were relatively diplomatic; in reality, once Xisi entered the ground, it would be impossible to ascend while under fire.
Xisi showed no hesitation; he simply commanded the massive hull to begin descending while responding calmly:
"Who says we still have to go up?"
The Mechanical Priest, puzzled, turned his eyes left and right again.
Only then did Xisi finally lower his head, facing the puzzled crowd below, clenching his fists behind his back.
"After contacting the ground forces, I will... within the atmosphere..."
"Leap!"
