Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 877 - 877: Section 870 - Hard Fight

"Chirp!" ×3001!

Every time they chirped in unison, the Pure Light Sparrows increased their flying speed a notch. Now, they were so fast that ordinary birds couldn't even hope to catch up.

Even though the Constant Star Light emitted by the three Biological Space Battleships posed no threat to the giant battleship shrouded in Halo, it actually became a resource for the advancement of the Pure Light Sparrows.

This kind of freebie was practically delivered to their doorstep, right into their mouths.

However, Chen Fei had no intention of watching the scenery, letting the Pure Light Sparrows continue to advance.

"Never mind, 'Adam,' close in to within 50 kilometers of target 0001. Prepare to repeat tactical programs 01, 02, and 03. Modify the target to be uniformly set as 0001. Execute immediately."

Because the other Biological Space Battleships had also started to move.

Three beams of Constant Star Light were beneficial, but with four, five, or six, regardless of the benefits, one could be overwhelmed.

Everybody understands that too much of a good thing can backfire!

Once the giant battleship was heavily surrounded by Dense Constant Star Light from all directions, it would have no window to strike back and could only take hits without retaliating.

Moreover, they were currently at war. This was not a moment to comfortably advance in rank. The previous round proved that their current strategy was fundamentally flawed. Immediate loss mitigation and strategy revision was crucial; it's better to break one finger than to injure all ten.

As the giant battleship began to move, the three beams of Constant Star Light continued to lock onto the hull, showing no signs of relent.

The persistent locking by the Constant Star Light severely limited the giant battleship's opportunities to attack. Physical projectiles risked instant vaporization by the Constant Star Light, and even directional energy could be severely disrupted, causing tactical programs to execute intermittently.

Particle beams and laser beams caused ripples against the protective barrier around Biological Space Battleship 0001, and blue Elemental Storms erupted, only to be blocked by the countless "Black Octopus," preventing them from reaching the body of the Biological Space Battleship or even touching the protective barrier.

"Distance to Biological Space Battleship 0001: 65 kilometers. Biological Space Battleship 0001 is dodging."

The AI "Adam" couldn't bring the giant battleship within Chen Fei's desired range. After a prolonged chase, it was clear their opponent was far from foolish and highly adept at escaping.

The post-fusion speed of the First Airship Combat Cluster's giant battleship was indeed fast, but the several kilometers long Biological Space Battleship was not slow either.

In the weightless vacuum environment, speeds easily surpass the speed of sound.

"Biological Space Battleship 0004 at a distance of 97,000 kilometers."

Another Biological Space Battleship had entered the 100,000-kilometer alert zone, prompting an immediate warning from AI "Adam."

"Another one!" Heseman Brown took a deep breath.

Unfortunately, the Blue Star has only one supernatural power user like Chen Fei.

The strengths and weaknesses of supernatural power users were equally glaring. Awakening reached their peak, but even among the same class, each had different psi skills, unlike the mature system of ability users on Cangqiong Star, which could train identical supernatural power users as if cast from the same mold.

"My guess was correct!"

Chen Fei felt fortunate that he wasn't obsessed with the battle. If he relied on the help of the Pure Light Sparrow Flock and tried to confront the Biological Space Battleships head-on, he would soon find it hard to extricate himself.

The giant battleship's crystal energy reserves and ammunition would deplete, and the Pure Light Sparrows couldn't circle endlessly. The magic array constructed by light element resonance would eventually exhaust their energy, rendering them incapable of their high-pitched chirps and flight.

"Time to retreat?"

S-Class Space Series Ability User Heseman Brown was the biggest guarantee for a safe retreat.

"Wait, take down target 0001 first, then retreat! 'Adam,' tactical program 04, 36 Element Annihilation Bombs, fire in succession, 'Dragon Slayer Missiles,' two rounds, target 0002 and 0003."

Even though Chen Fei didn't want to draw out the battle, he was somewhat greedy and didn't want to return empty-handed.

The Dog System rarely makes a comeback; no matter what, it needs to send one off.

AI "Adam" had evaluated that, without counting the assistance of the Pure Light Sparrow Flock, the giant battleship's combat power could take down two Biological Space Battleships without any problem.

As for suffering self-inflicted losses while taking down an enemy, it was simply not a concern.

Clusters of blue light bloomed in space, continually pushing toward Biological Space Battleship 0001. One by one, Element Annihilation Bombs exploded, clearing a path, taking out countless "Black Octopus" in the process.

With relentless advancement, the 36 Element Annihilation Bombs finally breached Biological Space Battleship 0001's protective barrier. The barrier covering the entire ship was violently blasted twice, exposing fatal flaws, allowing at least four Element Annihilation Bombs to roar in.

The fiercely expanding Elemental Storm engulfed the several kilometers long hull, obliterating it with unstoppable force. A seven-kilometer-long giant lifeform silently vanished into the orbit of Emerald Star, 12,500 kilometers from the surface, as if it had never existed.

"Next, target 0002, same method!"

Seize the remaining courage to pursue the retreating enemy. No need for pretenses, Chen Fei went after his victory.

The giant battleship deftly turned towards Biological Space Battleship 0002.

System: Ding! Successfully destroyed one Biological Space Battleship. Energy point reserve limit +10,000!

Energy points: 41,003/60,000

Confirming the successful kill brought a slight smile to Chen Fei's lips.

It hadn't been all in vain.

An increment of 10,000 energy points meant he could produce another airship.

At that moment, Biological Space Battleships 0002 and 0003, which had been pursuing relentlessly, started to retreat.

"Distance to Biological Space Battleship 0004: 76,000 kilometers."

"Distance to Biological Space Battleship 0005: 91,000 kilometers."

"Distance to Biological Space Battleship 0006: 93,000 kilometers."

"Distance to Biological Space Battleship 0007: 94,000 kilometers."

"Distance to Biological Space Battleship 0008: 94,000 kilometers."

...

AI "Adam" issued continuous alerts. When the 10th appeared, the giant battleship had to face ten opponents besides the already destroyed Biological Space Battleship 0001.

Fighting ten alone was no joke—it was suicide.

"'Rookie,' retreat immediately! Abandon the advance base! Abandon everything!"

A one-on-one communications officer from the Command Center sent out the order.

The Blue Star Civilization had been cautious. There were barely any humans at the advance base on the side of Emerald Star. It was ready to abandon, and a small flying ship could pack everything up and leave; everything else wasn't needed.

A dozen or so large transport airships, tens of thousands of combat mechs, all could be lost.

Since the launch of Tsar Plus, abandoning Emerald Star had been predetermined. Massive mushroom clouds rose, the terrifying fusion shockwaves swept across the land, shaking the tectonic plates. Not just shockwaves and nuclear radiation, but crustal impacts and the nuclear winter brought on by radioactive clouds would deal a devastating blow to the planet's ecosystem.

Even without evacuation, the doomsday environment expected to last for years on Emerald Star would make human survival impossible.

As costly as it was, the loss for the biologically reliant civilization of the "Sagali" species was even greater.

In this mutual destruction scenario, the Blue Star Civilization's no-holds-barred strategy would result in an exchange of damage, killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred in return.

"Yes, it's time to retreat. But first, let me deliver one last strike to that guy—1,000 tons of mass, 3,000-millimeter diameter, maximum thrust! Fire!"

Chen Fei spent 1000 energy points to redeem a solid-core projectile, attaching a small package at the end, and fired it with the giant battleship's extended large railgun at full power.

Ahead was a dense mass of "Black Octopus," numbering in the millions, rushing towards the projectile's path. But a stream of light streaked through like breaking waves, the remnants of countless "Black Octopus" flying in all directions, even becoming obstacles for those following.

The nearly three-meter diameter solid-core projectile took only four or five seconds to slam into Biological Space Battleship 0002's protective barrier, instantly revealing energy lines.

Although the projectile's speed had dropped to less than a third of its initial velocity, the kinetic energy from 1,000 tons of mass crashing in was comparable to a similarly sized meteoroid. The projectile's forward section forcefully punched into the protective barrier. Unable to withstand the impact, the energy lines shattered to pieces.

The solid-core projectile plunged fiercely into Biological Space Battleship 0002's interior, and unleashed a terrifying roll, creating a visible swelling in the seven-kilometer-long hull, as crystalline energy sources capable of emitting Constant Star Light were ejected.

Just as the projectile's rotational force, creating a massive internal cavity, was about to subside, a blue glow explosively shot out from Biological Space Battleship 0002 without any warning.

"Mission complete, Mr. Brown, we retreat!"

Chen Fei clenched his fist—but once was enough. No further. Mission accomplished.

"We're leaving!"

In the next second, the scene outside the giant battleship changed abruptly, with an endless horizon and slowly setting stellar afterglow. They had returned directly to the advance base at "Wormhole Cloud."

The giant battleship's momentum drove it down into the black vortex cloud.
