Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 875 - 875: Section 868 - Three Against One

The magic array surrounding the giant ship remained as steady as Taishan under the impact of the giant light pillar, seemingly brushing it off like a gentle breeze.

The intense stellar light energy neither dissipated nor vanished; instead, it seemed to be actively integrating into the giant magic array, making the outlined lines and flowing runes increasingly bright.

The light pillar that could almost turn the giant battleship to ashes only lasted for two minutes before suddenly disappearing without any warning.

"It's over! 'Adam,' report the damage!"

Chen Fei let out a long breath and began checking the first-round battle report. He wasn't worried about the armor layer and structural damage, but the functional modules containing a lot of non-metallic materials because repairing them would consume a large number of energy points.

Before the official battle began, he was prepared to turn the ship's surface into a mirror. If the light pillar broke through the protective barrier and magic shield, he would use a purely physical method to reflect the intense high-energy light pillar.

"Hull status 100%, crystal energy reserves lost 0.7%!"

Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" reported good news.

The giant battleship was not only unscathed, but the light magic array surrounding the hull had become even brighter and more complete.

"Blocked it?"

S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown was ready to run away, but he ultimately stayed put.

Although he could teleport millions of miles in one go, such a spatial ability was not for unlimited use; it consumed a lot of spiritual power.

At most, he could use it a few more times, but it could only be used in key strategic moments, not frequently in tactical maneuvers.

S-Class abilities could not achieve unlimited attack output. Otherwise, the Blue Star Civilization wouldn't have any concerns; a group of S-Class Ability Users would simply overwhelm the parasitic species with brute force.

"Unexpected, yet reasonable; it's the miracle of the Pure Light Sparrows!"

Chen Fei retracted his gaze from the ceiling. The light magic array ignored physical barriers, even extending into the interior of the ship, with glowing lines and runes covering the ceiling, responding to the synchronized cries of the Pure Light Sparrow flock, pulsing like it had a life of its own.

AR visual assistance captured the elevation of the three thousand Pure Light Sparrows to the second rank of the human order. The function of the "Light Elemental Holy Crystal" was instrumental, and the light magical beast crystal core, a third rank in orbit, had also shrunk significantly, revolving around the "Light Elemental Holy Crystal" like a satellite.

Jiubao had made progress again!

The large number of Elemental Affinity Potions that Chen Fei painstakingly administered had not gone to waste.

The light magic array formed by the three thousand Pure Light Sparrows was already impressive. He could only imagine the grandeur if their number increased to ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or even a million.

Once a sacred object of the Light Ability Users from Cangqiong Star, the "Light Elemental Holy Crystal" had greatly enhanced the Pure Light Sparrows, exceeding many expectations.

"The light pillar actually stopped. Hey, 'Adam,' what's the status of Unit 0002?"

Heseman Brown didn't have the AR visual assistance of the AI "Adam" to interfere with visual neural signals, so he couldn't see the abrupt halt of the attack from the biological space mothership 0002 on the giant battleship.

"Biological Space Mothership Unit 0002 shows 15% damage, with self-repair capabilities. Estimated time to complete repairs: 144 hours,"

"Adam" responded, then continued, "Biological Space Mothership Unit 0001 has halted its attack, showing 1% damage and is currently on the move."

The simple Elemental Annihilation Bomb and the "Dragon Slayer Missile" carrying the Elemental Annihilation Bomb had, unlike previous attacks, successfully broken through and dealt damage to the biological space mothership.

Adapting to combat in vacuum environments, Chen Fei used solid fuel propulsion, with its own oxidizer and omnidirectional vector nozzle, for the "Dragon Slayer Missile," achieving equally effective results.

On the three-dimensional holographic projection in the bridge, the three biological space motherships were coming from three different directions towards the giant battleship where Chen Fei and Heseman Brown were.

The projection zoomed in to show close-ups of the three biological space motherships, revealing a huge dent in the back half of Unit 0002, as if struck by a massive ball. In reality, a portion of the biological tissue had been annihilated by an Elemental Storm, with tendrils attempting to fill the void.

Due to the enormous expenditure of material and energy for self-repair, the mothership temporarily ceased attacking the giant battleship, and because the damaged tissue was extensive, the actual repair time, though estimated at 144 hours, was likely to be longer than shorter.

If the biological space mothership could quickly self-repair like Chen Fei's battleship, there would be no way Chen Fei would continue fighting. If not, he'd escape rather than stay and face certain death.

Biological Space Mothership Unit 0001 was ambushed by four "Dragon Slayer Missiles." The massive mothership easily overlooked smaller threats, resulting in severe consequences. The defensive barrier was breached, with the Elemental Storm causing minor damage due to timely evasion, leading to interrupting its ongoing attack on the "Wormhole Cloud" Advance Base.

Although it didn't destroy the two biological space motherships, the primary tactical objective was achieved; the immediate crisis at the "Wormhole Cloud" Advance Base was mitigated.

In the atmosphere of Emerald Star, brilliant flashes of light repeatedly erupted, manifestations of the Light of Destruction.

Tsar Plus created massive mushroom clouds in the atmosphere, observed from the outer atmosphere as rapidly forming storm clouds, with the energy levels of the nuclear flashes nearly matching those of lasers and stellar light.

"Don't rely on me; from now on, I'm just dedicated to escaping. If necessary, I'll take you and your bird with me and escape."

Noticing Chen Fei looking his way, Heseman Brown quickly raised his hands in a pleading gesture.

You can't blame him entirely; despite his powerful abilities, frequent use of his special skills wasn't feasible.

"Got it, I'll be cautious."

As anticipated, Chen Fei indeed intended to leverage every bit of capability he had.

The giant battleship performed hit-and-run attacks on the biological space motherships, a tactic that proved immensely satisfying.

"Adam, lock onto Units 0001, 0002, and 0003. Program new attack plan 01: fifteen 'Dragon Slayer Missiles,' lock onto targets and fire. Program new attack plan 02: First fire 1000mm solid-core bullets, second 600mm demolition bombs, third Elemental Annihilation Bomb, and fourth Elemental Annihilation Bomb, with two-second intervals between each shot. Program new attack plan 03: Maximum power particle beam, sustained for 5 seconds. Execute sequence: 01, 02, 03. Execute immediately!"

Whether operating a lightweight fighter like the "Big Mouth Monster" or the giant battleship formed from the fusion of fifteen ships from the First Airship Combat Cluster, Chen Fei was adept with tactical programming.

Survival skills were indispensable. If the enemy is eliminated, he survives. The strong will to live compelled him to master these skills, endlessly practicing virtual combat drills arranged by AI "Adam" during any downtime.

Thus, even though it was the first time he confronted the biological space motherships of the parasitic species, his experience from countless battles with similar enemies ensured he wasn't overwhelmed.

Fifteen solid-fuel "Dragon Slayer Missiles" left the giant battleship, tail flames growing faint as they accelerated towards the three encroaching biological space motherships.

The giant battleship adjusted its posture. The large onboard railgun began firing, and the 1000mm solid-core bullets, made of depleted uranium, aimed not to penetrate the defense barrier but to weaken its strength for subsequent strikes.

The explosive and radioactive lethality of depleted uranium was secondary, as the biological space motherships, capable of surviving in space, were unaffected by radiation and extreme temperature changes.

The tracer bullets roared out, but the blue-white particle beam reached the targets first. The energy impact lit up the protective barrier around the biological space motherships, revealing a visible web-like structure.

"Unidentified objects detected, count 11348, electromagnetically invisible, infrared-invisible, ultraviolet-invisible, only visible to the naked eye."

AI "Adam" suddenly issued a warning.

The three-dimensional holographic projection on the bridge revealed countless light dots around the giant battleship.

Optical cameras highlighted the contour of a sample: a pitch-black droplet with a round main eye and multiple secondary eyes, trailing numerous tentacles, resembling a multi-tentacled octopus.

The black exterior served as a natural camouflage in the cosmic void. Without the reflective light from the Emerald Star's atmosphere and distant stars, the detection modules on the giant battleship might have struggled to notice them.

These "Black Octopuses" moved incredibly fast, zigzagging erratically, closing to within 30 kilometers of the giant battleship in no time.

Before Chen Fei could issue commands, AI "Adam" unleashed countless 30mm tracer armor-piercing incendiary rounds from the ship's phalanx system.

The "Black Octopuses" were resilient, surviving two or three hits before succumbing on the fourth, exploding into bright red fireballs with diameters exceeding a hundred meters.

High-energy laser beams joined the close-quarter interception battle, resulting in numerous exploding fireballs around the giant battleship.

A distant blue light suddenly flared as the Elemental Annihilation Bomb's storm of light followed.

"Damn, it really is the Mothership!"

Chen Fei glanced at the explosion site of the Elemental Annihilation Bomb. The annihilation radius hadn't even touched the biological space mothership's defensive barrier, blocked by the selfless "Black Octopuses," leaving him with nothing but destroyed fodder.

This round was clearly a loss!
