Chapter 1578 Deep Among the Stars

In the deepest part of the X star cluster, which is blocked by layers of divine energy and has almost become a superposition of multiple different spaces, the war has actually lasted for thousands of years.

The structure of space is fragmented, the laws of the universe are turbulent, nearly crushed celestial fragments are mixed with various huge debris fragments, floating around in space, lingering like the corpses of wandering ghosts, with the desolate atmosphere of death, the powerful power and long history of both sides in the war The tug-of-war of time has completely changed the face of this galaxy. Unprotected small celestial bodies and primitive planets have long since been wiped out. Even the starship fortresses that were armed to the teeth in the past cannot escape the fate of falling apart - but even now. At this point, the war will still not stop.

Because both parties involved in this war have no reason to stop, and they will not take a step back until the last person falls.

A planet shrouded in twilight is the center of the battlefield. It has vast land and strips of ocean as decorations. Except for the areas near the coast that are covered with plants, the inland areas of the planet are almost all vast wilderness with little life. , blue-white crystal clusters grow wantonly in the dark wilderness, covering the earth as if to fill the missing vegetation in these arid areas. Huge arcs jump between the crystal clusters, complementing the endless discharges in the atmosphere. The clouds almost never dissipate, covering the planet like a blanket of constant flashes of light, hiding the true appearance of the planet's surface.

Thousands of years of war have been fought around this planet. Countless dark armies surrounded it layer by layer, spreading artillery fire on the surface of the planet, just like a swarm of dark insects trying to eat a shimmering fruit. The dark army They have all kinds of strange shapes. At first glance, they look like weird creatures that came out of some kind of crappy horror comic and were drawn randomly by relying on imagination and editor's prompting. Some of them are swollen pieces of flesh suspended in the universe. , some are giants and beasts with hideous faces covered with ulcers, and some are twisted and deformed metal accumulations. These chaotic and blasphemous forms gathered into an army, with almost nothing in common with each other.

Some larger shadows are mixed in this legion. They are black interstellar ships, but the original appearance of the spaceships can no longer be seen. Their metal shells are constantly squirming as if they are alive, and gray-black mist flows from the spaceships. It escapes in various gaps and forms long-lasting fog in space. Almost every one of these spaceships can see wounds left by the battle, and some proliferated limbs between metal and living things poke out from these wounds, licking the outer shell of the spacecraft like disgusting tentacles. , or twisting wildly in space - they will even wrap up nearby friendly forces, dragging those struggling and screaming monsters into the depths of the dark cracks of the spacecraft, as if preying on them.

Confronting these ugly monsters was the black fleet, which was clearly at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. This fleet formed a line of defense above the planet's atmosphere, and at the same time used energy beams and various force field weapons to continuously bombard enemies in space. Their main targets were not those giant weird creatures, but the same black creatures among the monsters. A painted, half-biological, half-mechanical spaceship.

Compared to flesh-and-blood monsters, huge, sturdy and fiercely powerful spaceships obviously pose a higher threat.

The thick-haired giant stood on the observation platform of the orbital defense platform. The platform was constantly shaking due to gravitational disturbances, but this trembling did not make the giant's figure sway in any way. He raised his head and looked up at the battlefield, his eyes piercing through the thick layer. defensive barrier, looking directly at those ugly monsters on the high track.

"These blasphemous freaks..." Another younger giant walked up to the observation platform and said in an angry tone, "Don't they know how to give up?"

"We don't know how to give up," the bushy-haired giant glanced at the young junior, "This war can only wait until one side dies."

The young giant gritted his teeth, but did not say much on this topic. He just opened his hands to the space, and bright lights danced between his hands. These lights soon condensed into a more stable picture, and the picture was chaotic. Weird scenes of chaos, with countless numbers and curves dancing on these scenes: "The number of space rifts has increased again. After this battle, the stability of order near the hub will drop by three thousandths again... The form is very important to us. unfavorable."

The bushy-haired giant nodded, indicating that he was aware of the matter, and then asked: "How long will it take for Agudal's final torrent to be fully charged?"

"It still takes three minutes, my brother," the young giant lowered his head slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but continue, "But... relying on Agudal's final torrent every time is not a long-term solution. The space around the hub Stability and law and order have been declining again and again, and the excessive release of Agudal's power is the most important reason. If this continues, one day we ourselves will be swallowed up by Agudal."

The thick-haired giant raised his hand and pointed at the flashes of light that were constantly erupting in space: "Then we will drag these freaks together and annihilate them in the space storm. No matter what, the last relics left by mother cannot fall into the hands of these monsters. That is There are far more terrible things than our death.”

The young giant stopped talking, nodded respectfully, and left the observation platform.

The older giant withdrew his sight from space and cast his gaze into the distance - he could clearly see the arc-shaped top of the planet's atmosphere below the orbital defense platform, as well as the energy barrier shrouding the atmosphere. In fact, he was The orbital defense platform is also protected by this barrier. This barrier is so thick that the entire planet seems to be sealed in a crystal ball.

Without this barrier, it would be impossible for this sacred planet to persist to this day, and it would be impossible for the numerically disadvantaged Hub Guard Corps to confront those twisted freaks on the frontal battlefield - after all, the doomsday weapon support from the planetary fortress Although it is powerful, it has a long cooling cycle and recharging cycle. Before the final torrent is activated, the guards can only rely on their own strength to fight the enemy.

However, this barrier is not indestructible. Above the distant atmosphere dividing line, an obvious fracture zone can be seen. The planetary barrier is stacked and curled there, while the atmosphere below the barrier has rolled up a The storm that has not dissipated, the huge electric arc can even shoot out from the storm into space. Even when looking down from the universe, this scene is spectacular.

It was the product of a battle more than three thousand years ago. The planetary fortress Nakdal fell apart after the collapse of the Eternal Forge. The out-of-control doomsday weapons swept through the hub during the collapse and even penetrated the planetary barrier in that area, although the barrier had been repaired. Up, but there was an entire crystal matrix on the surface of the planet that was wiped out in the bombardment.

To this day, it is still the most vulnerable part of the entire planet's defenses.

The bushy-bearded giant looked away. He calculated the time accurately. Now is the time for the final torrent to start.

A bright white beam of light pierced the darkness in the universe. It rose from the direction of the sun and swept across the space majestically like a holy sword.

The army of twisted monsters and parasitic spaceships retreated steadily in front of this beam. The ordinary monsters were wiped out in the torrent of light with almost no resistance, and those spaceships could only barely resist a few with their shields and thick armor. Just time to breathe.

The final torrent slowly swept through space, just like a whisk sweeping away the dust and insects and ants above the planetary barrier. Faced with this crushing level of power, the monster army finally realized that this attack could only go so far, so like insects The group dispersed with a bang and began to retreat toward the dark depths of the universe.

The sweep of the final torrent lasted for a long time. After the enemy retreated, it turned to space and continued its irradiation for several minutes. When the beam gradually extinguished, the entire battlefield was in a mess.

The space is curled and broken, and broken space cracks can be seen everywhere. The starlight from the distance shakes violently in the gravitational vortex, forming a large sparkling but deadly abnormal space structure.

These chaotic scenes gradually dissipated after a few hours...

The aftermath of the war in the depths of the universe was blocked by the divine blockade and could not be transmitted to other places in the X star cluster. When the crisis in the Crystal Hub was temporarily lifted, Hao Ren had just returned to the agent's home planet.

"This is what we found over there," Hao Ren asked the data terminal to present the collected data in front of everyone. "It is indeed a dormant Star Citizen spacecraft, but there is no way to wake it up. There is no consciousness and energy in the spacecraft. Judging from these logs, the disappeared energy should have been transmitted to a battlefield deep in this star region."

"Battlefield?" Nangong Wuyue couldn't help but shrink his neck when he heard the word, "Are there other places where fighting is going on here?"

"Not only is there, but the scale is probably staggering," Hao Ren nodded, "We are still unable to locate the location of this battlefield, but we can infer just based on the number of Star Citizen spacecraft in the X star cluster and how much energy these spacecraft can transmit. The level of that battlefield.”

Vivian took over what Hao Ren said: "Compared with this mysterious battlefield, the war between the Agent and Galactus can only be regarded as a mass brawl."

Yzaks thought for a while and came up with an idea: "Can we find the location of the battlefield based on the energy transmission traces of the Star Citizen spacecraft?"

"I'm afraid there is no way," he was answered by the Asuman Crystal. "The last energy transmission was thousands of years ago. After that, the Star Citizen spacecraft was in a dormant state, even if there were no traces left in the universe at that time. , it has dissipated long ago in these thousands of years. Moreover, this galaxy also has interference factors such as divine power blockade, and the lower energy dissipates much faster than in other places in the universe. "

Hao Ren added next to him: "Judging from the logs, the war broke out so suddenly that the Star Citizen fleets distributed across the X star cluster had no time to come back for reinforcements. They transferred all their energy in a very short period of time."

Nangong Sanba looked at Hao Ren thoughtfully: "Do you think the key to lifting the divine power blockade lies on the battlefield?"

Hao Ren spread his hands and said, "We don't have any other clues now."
