Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 867 - 867: Section 861 - Stalemate

Among the two airship battle groups, the most powerful combat unit wasn't the cooperative ship responsible for fire suppression, nor the tactical jets capable of launching diverse attacks, but the conceptual armament supported by the Louis Industrial Company, the X-D-005 Giant Dragon-type Combat Mobility Armor.

The Louis Industrial Company, boasting the top-notch technical heritage of Blue Star Civilization, brought out a trump card that was absolutely breathtaking. Despite the high operational costs and complex maintenance conditions, with Chen Fei's psi skills, these drawbacks completely vanished.

The combat power of the Mechanical Dragon, benchmarked against the Dragon Clan, had been verified in actual combat. It could fight on par with a mature Metallic Dragon, and the difference with other series dragons was negligible, of course, except for the Spatial Silver Dragon.

The Silver Dragon clan could become members of the Dragon Clan's Law Enforcement Team due to their overwhelming strength. Dragons indeed vary vastly in abilities.

"How about covering it with special abilities?"

Seeing Chen Fei's repeated refusals, Miyoshi Xuesen began to ponder which ESPers could lend a hand.

As long as Chen Fei's cooperative ship could break through the blockade forcefully, there might be an attack window opening. At that moment, if one Element Annihilation Bomb couldn't solve the problem, then ten would.

For a biological battleship about seven thousand meters long, using ten Element Annihilation Bombs was entirely worth it.

"If the sky falls, taller people will hold it up. Why worry about so much?"

Chen Fei found it strange why the monk was so concerned about the world, worrying about the nation and the people.

Clearly, a cunning black monk who usually worked in the dark should be careful not to be seen in the light, yet he wanted to be a hero to save the world. What kind of twisted psychology was this?!

In the dark, yet his heart yearned for the light?

Really felt like hitting this bald monk...

If you want to take on all major responsibilities yourself, then go ahead, but why drag Chen Xiao'er along to be cannon fodder, what nonsense...

Miyoshi Xuesen glanced at his phone screen, seemingly receiving new information. After heaving a sigh of relief, he said, "Haven't you noticed there's no way out yet? If there were, someone would have taken action already! The current situation implies that everyone is out of options."

The fierce Heaven-Piercing Light Column enveloped the entire protective barrier; anyone stepping out was heading to their death. Missiles were ineffective, combat mech units were ineffective, mobile armor was ineffective, airships were ineffective, and human bodies were also futile.

S-Class Esper Yan Ling might have a way, but her remaining lifespan was too short, necessitating her retreat into standby (retirement). Unless it's a life-and-death moment for Blue Star Civilization, she wouldn't act, and the next action might even cost her life, just like someone having sacrificed themselves once to rejuvenate her, exchanging life for life.

Not just Miyoshi Monk, at this moment, many were probably racking their brains to solve the current predicament.

The supplies transported to Emerald Star through the "Wormhole Cloud" were mostly crystalline blocks. After all, maintaining large protective barriers and various magic shields required considerable energy. Who knew how long the celestial attacks would last, energy supplies had to be guaranteed, even down to Chen Fei's allocated crystalline quotas being redirected.

If the battle dragged on and supply became challenging, not only Chen Fei's two airship battle groups but probably all other airships would find themselves in an energy shortage.

Even with built-in energy towers, it was merely a drop in the bucket for maintaining flight needs. Moreover, small fusion energy towers were usually only emergency backups, for daily power consumption like lighting less crucial equipment.

Adam: Total Energy Reserve dropped to 75%

The pre-set alert line at the command center was triggered. Barely two hours into the battle, 25% of the enormous energy reserves had already been consumed.

"Energy supply is insufficient. Our time is running out."

Miyoshi Xuesen also received this intelligence at the same time, though lacking "Adam." There were other channels to track and filter important real-time information.

If the attack on Emerald Star continued, they might have to voluntarily abandon the recently seized "Wormhole Cloud," and Blue Star Civilization would lose this life planet.

Making "Wormhole Cloud" disappear, Blue Star could achieve it, and the Parasitic Species could do it even more easily.

Would those sovereigns agree?

Robbers yelling to steal money, food, and women, seeing fertile land with abundant wealth, lots of grain, and young women like Daizi, how could they easily give up such immense fortune right before their eyes?

But if they didn't give up, not only would the troops deployed to Emerald Star be wiped out, but even that terrifying biological space battleship might rush toward Blue Star.

Whether they could win or not was another matter, but being forced back to the home ground no matter what was frustrating.

Reviewing the history of Blue Star humans being pushed back to their homeland, which battle didn't result in a devastating defeat, with nations perishing and races being exterminated.

Adam: Estimated Countdown 03:15:10

Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" followed Miyoshi Xuesen's words, generating a countdown evaluation model in the first place, with a margin of error no greater than ten minutes.

In terms of energy reserves, Blue Star Civilization would undoubtedly lose. The opposing side was an entire planet situated in a high orbit outside the atmosphere, with an abundant supply of stellar energy, practically inexhaustible (relative to the scale of billions of years).

"Analyze the components of that light column?"

Chen Fei sighed. Since everyone was racking their brains to find a solution, it seemed unreasonable to be a bystander.

"It's purely constant star light. Just think of it as focused sunlight!"

Miyoshi Xuesen immediately provided the answer. Spectrum analysis wasn't troublesome; the result was almost instantaneous.

If it was simply constant star light, that wouldn't be so bad.

But the energy was exceedingly immense, transforming quantity into quality, equivalent to extracting a beam directly from the constant star, shooting at them. The fact that the Blue Star Civilization's protective barrier and numerous magic shields could withstand until now and even endure for more than three hours was already something.

Who could withstand stellar energy indefinitely?

None, not even high-rank light beasts or light dragons.

Moreover, constant star light contained not just ordinary visible light, but also ultraviolet, infrared, and various high-energy rays. Most of the cosmic rays raging in the starry sky originated from constant stars.

"Unless we call Xiao Jiu over, at least a million Pure Light Sparrows."

Chen Fei did think of a way, using the opponent's methods against them. Besides the biological spaceship on Emerald Star, the experts in creating similar light columns would likely be the Pure Light Sparrows.

Achieving qualitative changes through quantitative changes, invoking light element resonance; the Pure Light Sparrow Flock was no less impressive than the biological spaceship.

"Xiao Jiu, Light Great Forbidden Spell? That's doable. Eh? Where's your bird?"

Miyoshi Xuesen froze, then rejoiced. Chen Fei's proposal seemed a highly feasible solution.

But looking around, the little bird always with Chen Fei was nowhere in sight.

Chen Fei admitted, "At home, guarding the house!"

Not talking about apocalypse scenarios, but in case of chaos descending, he could fend for himself. However, it wouldn't be the same for family members.

With a fourth-rank dark shadow wolf by his girlfriend's side, combined with the protection forces of Northern Weapons Industry Group, it was certainly better than ordinary people.

The Chen Family had separated in the previous generation and didn't live together. They were scattered all over the homeland, barely gathering even during holidays. Even if his eldest uncle could protect the entire Chen Family, it would be challenging to promptly oversee each branch.

So leaving the sixth-rank Pure Light Sparrow Xiao Jiu with his family as a precaution, Chen Fei could truly set his mind at ease, freely roving outside without worrying about the conflict of civilizations affecting his family.

Of course, this was merely an insurance.

If the battle reached the point where planets fell apart, even immortals wouldn't have a way out.

Importing a large number of Pure Light Sparrows to his hometown actually aligned with Chen Fei's wishes. Xiao Jiu's solo combat strength wasn't particularly high, but leveraging the power of the flock, it could exhibit remarkable cross-rank combat ability.

"Uh! A million Pure Light Sparrows…"

Miyoshi Monk was momentarily speechless.

Bringing Xiao Jiu over from the First Sovereign homeland was easy, but assembling a million Pure Light Sparrows was not. Even in their home Cangqiong Star, causing such a large-scale movement might trigger ecological disasters. Any missing link in the ecological chain could lead to unpredictable consequences (comparable to Blue Star humans eliminating pests, which resulted in sparrow extermination and severe grain production reduction, nearly starving themselves).

Chen Fei spread out his hands, saying, "You can't solely rely on one Pure Light Sparrow and one B-Class ESPer."

Clearly, it was an overwhelming task.

Was the entire Blue Star out of people? Relying on a person and a bird.

"Look, your bird!"

Eh? Who?

Just as Chen Fei turned towards the sudden voice, a small figure flapping its wings flew over and landed on his shoulder.

"Tweet!~"

Xiao Jiu?

"Huh? Who are you!"

The monk, like a startled tabby cat, widened his eyes at the stranger who suddenly appeared on the bridge. This wasn't a place just anyone could come to.

The last visitor nearly cost their lives.

Once bitten by a snake, fearful of ropes for ten years. The Ninja Clan around Miyoshi Xuesen instantly surrounded the intruder, with cold weapons all smeared with poison.

The intruder, wearing European light armor, with a cloak draped behind and a great sword on the back, casually waved a hand and said, "S-Class ESPer from Gamada, 'Spacetime Traveler', Heseman Brown!"

Another S-Class ESPer, also with a moniker.

"Wh-what? S-Class ESPer!"

Miyoshi Monk's eyes almost popped out. Just recently, there was another S-Class ESPer, Yan Ling, with mighty psi skills.

"Are you here to send Xiao Jiu?"

Chen Fei caught the little bird, confirming its identity; it was indeed his bird.

Just then, the phone rang, displaying Elder Brother Chen Shi's number.

"Hey, finally got through? Little brother, it's Chen Shi!"

The family had finally contacted Chen Fei's number, previously only hearing "Your communication authority is insufficient" messages.
