Chapter 539: The Completely Cracked Combat System
buzzing...
A faint buzzing sound could be heard from the interior of each warship, and some smaller warships began to tremble uncontrollably, as if they were about to disintegrate at any time.
In the cockpit of these warships, every operator couldn't help but swallow their saliva involuntarily to relieve their tension when they heard this sound.
They knew where the sound came from; it was the sound of the battleship's power reactor and shield system overloading.
As for the attack system, the attack systems of all warships in the inner encirclement had ceased fire several minutes ago.
Because of the continuous shooting, the main gun barrels of these warships had turned red and even showed signs of melting.
When the attack system reached the lower limit of overload, these main guns quickly released thermal radiation into space, cooling and condensing again, but the originally straight energy guide grooves had become distorted.
Any captain with a little common sense would know that if he forced fire at this time, the only outcome would be that the energy would escape the guide groove and cause the gun barrel to explode.
For the same reason, the entire front line had long stopped attacking and instead transferred all power to the shield system to maintain the spherical shield in front of them.
At this moment, inside the spherical shield, because of the previous continuous shooting, incalculable huge energy has spontaneously formed something like an energy tide, which continuously impacts the shield and then rolls back to the center.
Under normal circumstances, high-energy particles of this magnitude gathered together to form at least a planet that is almost like a super-small star.
But what is happening now is somewhat contrary to common sense. In the process of these high-energy particles constantly rolling back, it seems that they have encountered some obstacles, causing the energy to be continuously consumed. Although the energy consumed each time it rolls back is very small, it is still visible to the naked eye.
Suddenly, a tiny crack appeared on the originally smooth and transparent spherical energy shield, making this shield, which looked like a crystal ball, have a flaw visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, in the dense battle line, black smoke suddenly came out from the interior of an inconspicuous small warship, and then it stopped running.
Seeing this scene, the hearts of all the captains present couldn't help but stop for a moment.
They knew very well that this meant that the power reactor and shield system inside the small battleship were completely overloaded, and it also meant that the spherical shield they maintained had reached its limit.
As expected, although this crack was quickly restored by the energy resonance of other warships, in the following battle lines, the warships' shield systems or power reactor systems continued to overload, as if they were infected with an infectious disease.
As the warships were towed away one by one by the logistics ship, the spherical shield became more and more unstable. Cracks appeared on the shield more and more frequently, and the speed at which the cracks were repaired became slower and slower.
Fortunately, as time goes by, the energy tide inside the spherical shield is constantly weakening, so the overall situation can still show a trend of dynamic balance.
Soon, when the energy tide hit the spherical shield for the last time, because the energy had decayed below a certain limit, the energy tide could no longer roll back and gradually subsided.
At the same time, the spherical shield that had already been covered with cracks collapsed in an instant, scattering into fragments that slowly dissipated throughout the sky. At the same time, the power reactors of the last few large warships that persisted also emitted black smoke. The entire warship lost power and was towed away by the logistics ship.
As all the warships of the first line were towed away, the Interstellar Alliance's fleet did not relax its vigilance, but followed the second plan that had been prepared in advance, allowing the warships of the second line to continue to form a formation and advance forward.
Everyone present knew very well that the reason why the energy tide in the spherical shield was constantly decaying was because there was something inside that space that was fighting against it, so it was constantly consuming energy.
As for what that "thing" is, there is no need to say more. This also means that the target they originally planned to eliminate did not die.
Although they were surprised that the enemy survived such an attack, the troops of the Interstellar Fleet were all well-trained elite fighters. Since the enemy was not dead, their attack would not end.
On the other side, along with the news of the energy shield, the energy gathered here also spread into the surrounding universe, and soon revealed the situation in the middle of the energy sea.
A human-sized, seemingly broken black sphere appeared from the gradually dissipating sea of energy. As time passed, the black sphere quickly disintegrated from the broken opening and disappeared into the universe along with the sea of energy.
When the damage to the black sphere reached the size of a human head, a hand stretched out from the inside of the sphere and grabbed the edge of the gap that was disappearing.
The condition of the palm looked quite tragic, completely carbonized and blackened, and it looked like it was almost merging with the black sphere.
Just a simple gripping motion caused a lot of debris to fall off the carbonized palm.
However, soon, the palm that had been almost completely carbonized quickly recovered, and almost in the blink of an eye, a palm as smooth as jade broke through the outer carbon shell and grew out again.
As the damage to the black sphere continued to expand, the scene inside the sphere appeared in everyone's eyes.
Zheng Shu's skin, muscles and even bones were carbonized by the high temperature, leaving only a pair of eyes that glowed like molten gold.
With the help of the high-speed regeneration that only hybrids with a high degree of dragonization can achieve, Zheng Shu's serious injuries that could have caused death were recovering rapidly.
Soon, as the black carbon shell on his body peeled off, his body healed completely.
When he loosened his hand, the black crystal that Zheng Shu had been protecting tightly reappeared, and the pitch-black armor also covered his body at some point.
With the help of the isolation of the God's Armor, Zheng Shu barely opened his own small cave and stuffed it in.
Looking at the rapidly collapsing black sphere behind him, Zheng Shu's face behind the mask twitched unconsciously.
These black spheres are a large number of instant noodles summoned by him using the first skill on the panel. He uses a method that is almost a bug to compress a large amount of matter together in an instant, thus creating degenerate matter.
The amount of material required to produce biochemical substances is extremely terrifying.
With Zheng Shu's current mental strength and observation range, the amount of instant noodles he can summon is beyond imagination. But even so, the degenerate matter that can be produced by completely compressing matter of this magnitude can only barely create a sphere that wraps him up completely.
What's even more troublesome is that due to the characteristics of degenerate matter, he has no way of sensing the situation outside after being completely surrounded by the degenerate matter.
So under normal circumstances, when Zheng Shu creates degenerate matter to completely wrap himself up, he will deliberately leave a gap for observation.
And if it weren't for the reverse application of Heaven, Zheng Shu would never have been able to escape from the degenerate matter that completely enveloped him by his own strength.
However, despite its numerous shortcomings, the advantages of degenerate matter are also obvious. Due to its unique structure at the microscopic level, this substance is truly "absolute defense" at the macroscopic level.
No matter whether it is an energy attack or a material attack, as long as it follows the basic physical rules of the universe, there is no possibility of defeating it.
But this time, this "absolute defense" was broken.
The reason is simple. The fleet of the Interstellar Federation used excessive energy to create a black hole composed of degenerate matter.
Although they are both degenerate matter, because the properties and principles of their composition are different, they will annihilate each other the moment they come into contact.
Generally speaking, degenerate matter will automatically tend to stabilize as long as it reaches a certain scale and will not collapse at will.
But at the same time, if a whole piece of degenerate matter suddenly has a gap at a certain position, the overall pressure of the whole piece of degenerate matter will be released, leading to the complete collapse of the whole piece of matter.
Simply put, it's like tempered glass.
After the degenerate state protection constructed by Zheng Shu was offset by the black hole, the remaining energy was not something he could withstand.
Although the degenerate matter remaining before the collapse helped him withstand most of the energy impact, even the remaining power was enough to seriously injure him and put him on the verge of death.
And this attack is not just one wave. Under the continuous bombardment and the blocking of the spherical energy shield, the energy tide will continue to roll back round after round.
Every time it rolls back, it can reconstruct an ultra-small black hole and deal a devastating blow to Zheng Shu.
From this perspective, the Interstellar Alliance conducted a very detailed investigation on Zheng Shu and even came up with an extreme way to restrain him.
Even for Zheng Shu, the only thing he could do under such targeted attacks was to rebuild the degenerate state protection immediately after the cooldown of each round of instant noodle summoning ended, and at the same time use the panel consumption influence factor to strengthen himself, constantly reviving in a nearly resurrection manner.
Zheng Shu clenched his fists and sensed the recovery of his body while also feeling the situation around him.
"My body has fully recovered, the space has been completely blocked, the elements have been completely cleared, and there have been strong energy interference and strong mental interference all around. It seems that there are also some stance-type abilities that want to interfere with me. Fortunately, I am immune to them with the Armor of God."
Feeling the heavy blockade from the outside world, Zheng Shu couldn't help but reveal a look of distress on his face.
Although the Armor of God can make him immune to those messy forces, it is indeed powerless against some large-scale blockades.
The space was completely blocked, which meant that neither distortion magic nor space jumps could be used, which meant that Zheng Shu could neither launch large-scale space attacks nor escape from the battlefield through space jumps.
The energy interference completely ineffective Zheng Shu's ability to construct a magic circle out of thin air, which meant that all his spells were also blocked.
Mental interference prevented Zheng Shu from extending his mental power out of his body. Not only did it reduce his perception ability, it also prevented him from converting his mental power into electromagnetic waves for electronic invasion, and even prevented him from releasing the Word Spirit·Judgment.
"Plus the previous attack method... we were completely targeted."
After only a brief fight, Zheng Shu had already felt the terrifying oppressive power that the huge animal, the Interstellar Alliance, brought to him.
All the forces that had been exposed were targeted and cracked one by one, and combat forces far beyond Zheng Shu's ability to cope with were dispatched.
"If it weren't for the cheating on the panel, I would have been killed in the first round of attacks."
Fortunately, the ability to create things out of thin air provided by the first skill on the panel far exceeded the opponent's imagination, so Zheng Shu was able to survive the first round of attacks.
But this is far from enough, so Zheng Shu can only continue to cheat.
"Magic Conch, give me a solution!"
I don’t know if it was Zheng Shu’s illusion, but the third skill on the panel, which was always quick to react, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then rarely gave him two ways to deal with it.
"The first option is to follow the skill's instructions and quickly escape, but it will be almost impossible to get the answer to the question in your mind in the future..."
Zheng Shu felt the prompts given by the skills, glanced at the warships that had surrounded him, and the face behind the visor suddenly broke into a wild smile.
"Then I can only choose the second option?!"
Route 2: Stay where you are and smash, collapse and destroy the enemies in front of you!
Show your strength, let them know your weakness, and then you can get the answer.
“It’s difficult, I like it!”
Zheng Shu glanced at a group of warships that were very close to him from a cosmic perspective. The next moment, these majestic warships suddenly had huge spikes emerge from their gun barrels, stretching them apart.
After the gun barrel that was accumulating energy was torn apart, the energy accumulated inside exploded instantly, and a large number of warships turned into fireballs in the universe.
The battle begins!
The explosion of these warships also sounded the clarion call for the second round of battle between the two sides!
Although Zheng Shu's attack method was quite covert, the troops belonging to the Interstellar Alliance discovered the flaw in an instant.
All the warships in the entire encirclement responded at the same time, closing their guns, stopping energy accumulation, fully opening their shields, and activating their optical stealth functions.
Some warships even had their portholes closed, and things like thrusters were carefully hidden at the rear of the warships, completely blocking Zheng Shu's sight.
"Although this was expected, isn't this reaction speed a bit too fast?! Is this the reaction speed of the Interstellar Federation?"
Looking at the other party's reactions, Zheng Shu couldn't help but feel the situation was difficult.
Every reaction of the other party showed that they had indeed discovered that Zheng Shu's unknown attack could only be launched within the line of sight.
