Chapter 958: Chapter 687 Mind Your Own Business with Magic Matters

"Faced with an enemy capable of single-entity infiltration and possessing numerous special abilities, not to mention tremendous combat power, the quadruped extraterrestrial beings couldn’t think of a better way to deal with the adversary. The disparity in individual combat power was simply too great."

"The enemy had already breached their flagship. Even if they were to sacrifice countless lives from this point on, the desired outcome would hardly be ensured."

"Why are there only drones?" Within the flagship, Zheng Yichen slightly curled his lips, feeling that the quadrupeds’ response was too passive—thinking they could intercept him with just numerous drone units?

They were quite good at hiding, a pity that in Zheng Yichen’s Life Perception, hiding was utterly meaningless.

As soon as he appeared here, the positions of all the quadrupeds on the flagship were essentially exposed to his perception.

There were no fewer than two hundred thousand quadruped beings in this warship; after all, it was their flagship. This number seemed small compared to the Firmament Wheel that Zheng Yichen had encountered before.

The Firmament Wheel could serve as a city, accommodating tens of millions without a problem.

Of course, this warship was not on par with the Firmament Wheel in terms of specifications—not in strength, but in specifications.

But compared to the specifications of those warships, it was still quite large, large enough that after Zheng Yichen’s infiltration, the quadrupeds were forced into playing a game of hide and seek with him.

Zheng Yichen’s goal after entering was very clear—he headed straight for the flagship’s energy hub, intending to take control of the energy core of the warship first.

With the help of thermal vision and Lilith’s assistance, it wasn’t hard for Zheng Yichen to locate the energy control room. It was just that there were many interceptions and traps along the way.

Inside the command center of the quadrupeds, where most of the fleet’s upper echelons were gathered, some were on the Moon, communicating and conducting meetings remotely.

They all saw Zheng Yichen swiftly moving through the corridors. Within the flagship, the area where Zheng Yichen was located had been marked deep red, and that section was completely isolated. The drone units they had produced, along with some modified bio-beasts, were all deployed there.

But these forces could only slightly affect Zheng Yichen’s advance. This situation was not too far beyond their expectations; they had analyzed before that any enemy capable of single-entity atmospheric penetration and infiltration into their warships could pose a great threat to them.

However, while these threats were significant, they could also eliminate the intruders; those enemies who broke through the atmosphere individually were not entirely immune to the Stasis Field. As long as they could restrain the enemy and concentrate the Stasis Field, the opponent would be completely suppressed and later become material for their research.

Zheng Yichen was different; the attacks deployed by their people were eradicated by the spatial distortions surrounding him.

That thing directly caused fluctuations in space, severely countering the Stasis Field.

As for other attacks, some drone units managed to harm Zheng Yichen by sheer numbers. However, the result was plain to see—no breach in defense.

Zheng Yichen’s physical strength was simply not characteristic of a flesh-and-blood body.

To the quadrupeds, this was preposterous. No matter how formidable the flesh, it was still flesh. If large-caliber physical weapons were ineffective, wouldn’t energy weapons work?

But Zheng Yichen’s body challenged their conception anew.

After Zheng Yichen eliminated the bio-beasts, he promptly drained their blood, giving the quadrupeds’ chief scientist a headache—these bio-beasts were over five to ten meters in size, and Zheng Yichen drained their blood completely...

How could such a quantity be digested?

This reminded him of a conversation from decades ago when a colleague said to back off from matters of "magic"... Uh, that’s not how the quadrupeds phrased it, but translated, it roughly meant that.

Was magic really that miraculous?

Recalling the many ’miraculous’ events that the native humans had encountered over the years, the quadrupeds’ chief scientist didn’t volunteer any comments.

Sometimes, it was true that one shouldn’t meddle too much with magic. Their technology could parse some magic, but some high-level magic remained beyond what their current technology could achieve, yet was effortlessly accomplished through magical strength.

The reverse was also true; some tasks that were difficult to perform with magic could be easily achieved through technology.

"Flesh and blood are truly wondrous," the chief scientist of the quadrupeds sincerely marveled. He looked at another screen where two black markers were rapidly moving, approaching the area where Zheng Yichen was active.

The tactical units they dispatched fought desperately to hinder Zheng Yichen, yet the sealed-off area was still breached by him in less than a minute. The analysis suggested that Zheng Yichen’s target was the energy control room.

Not only that, but their computers also detected traces of an invasion attempt. While they were countering the incursion, the intensity of the invasion suddenly spiked, as if the intruder no longer cared to conceal their actions.

However, the computers on the flagship were of a higher calibre than those on the warships.

Although the invasion was aggressive, it was still being held back for now.

On the map, the quadrupeds watched the intruder, about to make contact with the Civilization Destroyer, feeling uncertain. The Civilization Destroyer was a special Creation developed for this native planet.

It was a fusion of many excellent genes from different organisms, designed mainly to counteract those dragons...

During their invasion operations, besides the World Tree, which had caused them considerable trouble, the dragons posed the second greatest challenge.

While on this world, dragons were akin to nuclear weapons in planetary combat. Sometimes their military operations succeeded, and they occupied certain areas. If the dragons determined that these areas could not be reclaimed nor controlled by normal measures,

they would make a direct appearance and execute indiscriminate, wide-area strikes. Enhanced by the World Tree, the Dragon Breath could cover tens of kilometers, rendering their terrestrial gains futile.

Therefore, they spent a great deal of time creating the Civilization Destroyer, specifically geared to counter such threats. The indigenous population of the planet could capture quadrupeds; likewise, in their operations over the years, they also captured some dragons and representatives of other alien races. The numbers were not great, but enough for research purposes.

As a secret weapon, they didn’t intend to expose it so directly. According to the original plan, the Civilization Destroyer would only be deployed after more definitive results were obtained in magic research.

That would be at least thirty years from now, which was already quite fast.

Regarding magic research, the quadrupeds themselves were investigating, and those who could be considered ’orthodox’ natives of the planet, now kept on the Moon, were also studying.

Some were cooperating voluntarily; for those who were not, they had ways to make them comply. Among those selected as ’Original Human Race’ to serve their purposes, the quadrupeds had the best talents from what had been.
