Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 874 - 874: Section 867 - Battle

Chen Fei tentatively said to confirm, "Xiao Jiu, disengage gravity change."

The next second, both of them fell back to the ground. Fortunately, they had some agility, and despite the awkward positions, they managed to land safely, albeit a bit embarrassed.

Heseman Brown, who had just been terrified, sighed in relief and said, "It really is!"

He couldn't believe that his guess was correct, it was indeed that little bird.

Thinking from another angle, if it wasn't a Pure Light Sparrow... Jeez! The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed. It was better to let Xiao Jiu have its way!

Adam: Beginning countdown for the first nuclear strike, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ignite!

Adam: Countdown for the second nuclear strike, 00:02:59...

There was a slight flash on the horizon outside the porthole. Light always arrived first.

The remaining nuclear strikes were being executed one after another. The parasitic organisms seemed to have no sense of war, allowing the nuclear warheads to hit the targeted points.

Adam: Biological Space Mothership No. 0002 is 11,000 kilometers away and showing energy accumulation reactions.

The gravitational pull at high orbit became weaker, causing the speed of anything to increase dramatically. However, for a massive object, changing its orbit required immense kinetic energy.

Adam: Biological Space Mothership No. 0003 is beginning to move, 67,000 kilometers away from our ship.

"'Adam,' project everything, those two big guys are coming for us!"

Chen Fei gestured for the Artificial Intelligence AI 'Adam' to project all the AR visual contents onto the bridge.

The extraterrestrial races "Sagali" responded a bit slow, but they weren't idiots after all.

The moment the fifteen warships of the First Airship Combat Cluster appeared collectively, they deployed a Biological Space Mothership. But when the First Airship Combat Cluster fused into a giant battleship, perhaps sensing a certain level of threat, they decisively deployed two Biological Space Motherships.

"Two ships?"

The S-Class Space Ability User looked in shock, then turned to Chen Fei.

In the three-dimensional holographic projection on the bridge, the projection of Emerald Star appeared. Outside the atmospheric contour, two miniature Biological Space Motherships were moving slowly. They seemed slow, but their actual speed far exceeded the speed of sound, reaching 15 kilometers per second and still accelerating.

"'Adam'! Full efficiency on the gravity magic array, accelerate to the same altitude, seal the hull, and store compressed air."

Chen Fei gave the order to the Artificial Intelligence AI.

In response to the imminent exo-atmospheric attack, if the massive combined giant ship of the First Airship Combat Cluster continued to stay within the atmosphere, it would become extremely passive. This altitude difference would be akin to completely losing air superiority, even if both sides were flying units.

Everyone felt a slight sinking sensation beneath their feet as the giant ship's weight was reduced to 1% using the psi skill "Gravity Adjustment Module". Then, using the "gravity" magic array, the planet's gravity was converted into planetary repulsion, pushing the ship out of the atmosphere. The stored liquid water was electrolyzed to produce hydrogen as propulsion fuel, generating powerful thrust with continuously increasing speed.

After reaching a certain altitude, the magic arrays "Fluid Vortex (2)" and "Air Burst (2)", which generated thrust using the air as a medium, would lose their effectiveness, requiring specialized propulsion fuel for exo-atmospheric dynamics.

The simplest and most convenient fuel was water. Emerald Star had an abundance of water resources, and even the humidity in the air was high. It was easy to extract, and Chen Fei had no shortage of electricity. After the fusion of the fifteen warships, the small onboard low-temperature nuclear fusion energy towers merged into a cluster, generating an astonishing amount of electricity with stable output. They produced the same amount of electricity whether used or not.

"Reached the exosphere in six minutes. The first strike from Biological Space Mothership No. 0002 will hit in one minute."

The prompt from the Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" switched from a subtitle in Chen Fei's AR visual effect to an emotionless voice, not even bothering to load the emotional model.

It's typical of a cold AI, never wasting computational resources unless necessary.

This was Chen Fei's stage. The S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown was astonished, "One minute?"

At the current speed of the giant battleship, it was unlikely to avoid the strike.

"Mr. Brown, we need your help now. Can you move us to an altitude of 600 kilometers?"

Chen Fei gestured toward Heseman Brown, signaling the start of the Space Ability User's performance.

The base of the exosphere on Emerald Star was about 580 kilometers high, with an atmosphere thickness nearly 20% greater than Blue Star's.

Ordinarily, planets like Emerald Star would find it difficult to naturally nurture life. But with the intervention of the biological civilization "Sagali", the impossible became possible. The planet's surface teemed with life, with abundant flora and fauna, except for the equatorial windless zone between 5° north and south latitudes and the northern and southern polar circles.

The equatorial windless zones and the polar circles represented the most extreme climates within Emerald Star's atmosphere. The windless zones were perpetually scorching, with temperatures lingering between 60°C and 120°C, making it nearly impossible for life to cross the equator. Meanwhile, the polar regions could reach as low as -180°C, with occasional dry ice snowfalls.

"Got it, watch me!"

The temporary partnership between S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown and Chen Fei served this very purpose — either to escape or to attack, not just to spectate.

The fused First Airship Combat Cluster actually reduced the difficulty for him.

"Eyes on target, leap a thousand miles! Go!"

The next second, the world outside the porthole transformed from day into night.

The clear sky morphed into a starry expanse with a black background. The massive green planet filled most of the view, with the constant starlight slowly emerging over the planet, illuminating the giant ship.

A tiny dot outside the atmosphere, illuminated by the starlight, could easily blend into the starry background if not closely observed. This was the Biological Space Mothership No. 0002 set by Chen Fei.

"Altitude: 550 kilometers! Distance from No. 0002: about 3000 kilometers."

The Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" immediately reported the giant ship's current altitude.

"Uh, still 50 kilometers short!"

Heseman Brown scratched the back of his head awkwardly, as Chen Fei had requested an altitude of 600 kilometers.

"No worries, this slight discrepancy doesn't matter."

Before Chen Fei finished speaking, the giant ship, still generating thrust, had already reached an altitude of 600 kilometers, officially entering the exosphere of Emerald Star.

Completely free from gravitational and air resistance, the giant ship's speed took another leap forward.

Inside the fully enclosed hull, a nearly one-inch-thick tungsten gold alloy layer appeared, designed to block the ubiquitous cosmic rays. Besides magnetic fields, high-density metals could also block radiation. In the weightless environment of space, weight wasn't an issue.

"Huh? There's still gravity?"

Heseman Brown bounced in place. As his body fell naturally, it felt no different from being on the planet's surface, without the imagined zero-gravity floating.

"The 'Gravity Ring' magic array can generate gravitational effects."

Chen Fei wasn't surprised. The magic array inscription units aboard the giant ship were exceptional, akin to a giant blank canvas on which any desired effect could be illustrated and achieved freely.

"What about the incoming attack?"

Heseman Brown pointed to the three-dimensional holographic projection showing the intensity of the energy reactions from Biological Space Mothership No. 0002, signaling an imminent attack.

"Of course, strike first! Fire a solid-core projectile! Launch! Second shot, Element Annihilation Bomb, fire! Third shot, Element Annihilation Bomb, fire! Mr. Brown, transfer to the rear of No. 0002! Four 'Dragon Slayer Missiles', lock onto No. 0001, fire!"

Battle programming was second nature; Chen Fei had long set up the attack tactics, waiting only for the command.

Even though the exosphere still contained sparse air, it was negligible. In the vacuum of space, railgun projectiles had an even greater impact than directed-energy weapons.

While missiles packed a punch, their explosive fragments and shockwaves dispersed in all directions. The kinetic energy and impact at specific angles couldn't compare to railgun weapons.

A web of light suddenly formed on one side of the Biological Space Mothership No. 0002. The next moment, a blue light exploded, annihilating everything in its path. The elemental storm clashed fiercely with the mothership's protective barrier, fully revealing the field that enveloped the kilometers-long ship, shaped like a giant ellipse, with complex energy networks.

Soon after, another burst of blue light erupted powerfully.

Simultaneously, the giant ship vanished, leaving four small dots heading toward the site of Biological Space Mothership No. 0001.

"High-energy reaction detected directly ahead!"

AI's voice had just sounded.

The front of the giant ship suddenly lit up as a scorching high-temperature beam shot straight toward them.

No one anticipated that the parasitic biological space mothership could also fire backward. The key issue was, it was not a spherical shape, leading Chen Fei and the Blue Star sovereignties into an error through experience.

Meanwhile, countless light points suddenly appeared on the surface of the giant ship, sketching lines in an instant. The magic array formed from light elemental energy enclosed the ship, blocking the incoming massive beam immediately.

"Protective barrier strength: 100%! Light magic shield intact, fire magic shield intact, thunder magic shield intact, dark magic shield intact! No damage to the ship."

The Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" was momentarily at a loss, the current situation exceeded its autonomous comprehension.

The beam from the giant ship's front showed no sign of ceasing.

"Ultra-large light magic array!"

Both the S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown and Chen Fei guessed what was happening. They looked toward where the Light Elemental Holy Crystal was supposed to be.

It was empty. Even the third rank light-element Magical Beast Crystal Core was missing.

Heseman Brown and Chen Fei exchanged glances, looking up at the ceiling simultaneously.

The missing "Light Elemental Holy Crystal" hung suspended on the ceiling, encircled by a flock of Pure Light Sparrows. At that moment, it emitted a bright white light, serving as the main illumination source within the bridge.

Each Pure Light Sparrow was surrounded by white light, with numerous light points fluttering around, flickering in and out.

It's akin to three thousand little bulbs, yet not glaring.
