Chapter 757: Chapter 281: An Unexpected All-Out Battle
The clash of Information Systems is the most complex kind of battle, where the exchange of information often determines the winner and loser at the very first contact.
The victor becomes the devourer, while the vanquished is consumed; there is no third path to choose.
Little Lady No. 2 chose this path, so no one could help her.
Seeing the disappointed look on Little Woman’s face, Gao Gong thought for a moment and said, "The focus of the group moving forward will be on technological development. I will have them focus on researching biomechanical technology."
Little Woman barely regained some composure, just as she was about to speak, her expression suddenly changed, raising her head.
"This—"
She looked at Gao Gong, but he had already vanished from where he stood.
In the rolling radiation clouds, a city-sized Mechanical Fortress was plummeting at an incredible speed, and the giant mechanical figure inside was laughing heartily, as if about to do something entertaining.
A flash of purple light, and Gao Gong’s figure appeared nearby, his Investigation Skill sweeping over.
Name: Xie Egui (Eternal Financial Group)
Species: Super Mechanical Life
Level: 90+
Life Value: ??
Physical Strength Value: ??
Mechanical Energy: 1 billion
...
"Hm?"
Xie Egui suddenly turned his head, the surrounding radiation clouds were sucked into the base of the outer Space Fortress like a long whale drawing water, and then, a terrifying Energy Tide burst forth, inundating everything.
Gao Gong didn’t confront it directly; a flash of purple light, and he appeared 100km away.
Yet a terrible roar seemed to transcend the void, exploding by Gao Gong’s ear.
"Little insect, how dare you interfere with me?"
The sky and ground rapidly overlapped under this shout; at the end of Gao Gong’s view, both material and virtual had vanished, replaced by a twisted white line, and in a few breaths, the line grew as large as a dragon snake, twisting and coiling.
It gave the feeling as if the other party was wrapping a dumpling, with oneself sealed within the filling, and the air seemed to turn into amber — this feeling was all too familiar.
Subspace Technology?
This stuff is Tier 4 High-tech!
The specific principle is that by certain operations, the space parameters of an area can be reduced to a negative number, directly crushing and vanishing everything within it, causing large-scale, high-grade True Damage.
This is a typical Space Clamp!
Gao Gong squinted slightly, the purple light in his eyes reflecting endless space, countless Spatial Rifts extending from him as the center, and at some point, a piece of glazed protective armor appeared on Gao Gong’s body, each armor piece seemed embedded with a glass mirror, and each glass mirror reflected a vast space.
The next moment, the Space Clamp collided with Gao Gong’s Space Armor!
The 100km area, space crazily twisted and contracted, yet it also seemed to infinitely expand, the entire Space Domain like a clenched fist, but at the center of the fist, a nail was hidden.
"Hm?"
Xie Egui squinted his searchlight-sized mechanical eyeball, the palm suddenly disintegrating, a lot of parts scattered, falling to the ground with a ’ping ping pang pang’ sound, and a big hole appeared in the city-wall-sized palm.
"When was Space Technology developed on this planet?"
In his impression, only a Level 3 Civilization has the qualification to develop Space Technology.
Then a terrifying aura burst forth rapidly, like magma from a Biological Explosion or a great cold wave from the Ice Age. The radiation clouds appeared once more, like an enormous endless mouth biting towards the entire Space Fortress, teeth open, and the gaps between teeth flowing with S-Level beast tide.
"Good, well done!!"
Faced with this attack, though Xie Egui’s tone remained arrogant, his actions were quite cautious, layers of heavy defense panels emerged from the mechanical fortress’s exterior, and thousands of defense platforms lit up, layer upon layer of Energy Shields enveloped the entire fortress, which from a distance numbered no less than a thousand Energy Walls.
In the difficulty of developing Energy Weapons, offensive weapons are lower than close-combat energy weapons, and close-combat energy weapons are lower than defensive energy weapons.
Especially large defensive Energy Shields, often used at the forefront of interstellar wars, similar to ancient city walls and castles; whoever can break through first can gain an advantage in war.
This also indirectly illustrates a point, that what is unfolding before us has reached Star Wars-level offensive and defensive intensity.
...
"What’s happening?"
Du Zhaodi appeared, looking seriously towards the sky; clouds, radiance, beast tide, energy storm, the place visible to the naked eye was shrouded in destructive power, meaning if it were on the ground, it would undoubtedly be another continent-destroying level battle.
What made Du Zhaodi even more worried was that among them, one rapidly growing aura was precisely his beloved.
"I’m not sure, ’she’ sensed a very dangerous aura. I just looked up, and Gao Gong had disappeared."
"Connect me with Heaven Net and deploy the first, fourth, and eighth Mecha Corps," Du Zhaodi decisively issued battle orders.
"I’ll help too." The Little Woman spoke up immediately, her eyes seeming to have countless transparent tentacles emerging, summoning all the top-tier Radiation Beasts in the nearby sea due to the call of bloodline.
On the other side, the ten Cybertronians had just entered the planet when they witnessed this scene: tens of thousands of Energy Cannons rained down like a meteor shower, with over a hundred small combat spaceships trailing behind them. These ships, each a creation at level 50, were heavily armed and equipped with self-destruct capabilities.
Their opponent, compared to them, was just a figure the size of an "ant." However, this ant gripped an Energy Sword over a thousand meters long, and the sword was rapidly growing. In just a few breaths, it had doubled in size.
Advanced Energy Sword Mastery (Tier 3): By using the training techniques from the ’Superpower Warrior,’ the body’s energy is extracted to transform into a close-combat energy weapon. Basic attack: 150,000, with a 10,000 increase in attack for every 100,000 energy consumed.
As the wielder of the No. 5 Destruction Form, at least on this planet, Gao Gong’s Spatial Energy was infinite, and this "gigantic Energy Sword," filled with unlimited energy, quickly soared to a million damage.
With a thought from Gao Gong, transparent Spatial Flames ignited on the surface of the ’Giant Sword,’ and the ’String Fire’ spawned Space Strings extending into the void, coiling around each combat spaceship, leaving purple marks around them.
"Slash!!!"
Once again, Gao Gong’s eyes were overshadowed by terrifying biological instincts, yet his actions were as precise as the most meticulous machine. With a graceful arc, the ’Giant Sword’ cleaved through the void, creating the sound of a thousand breaking mirrors. Around those combat spaceships, the sword light split into thousands, traversing space to land evenly on every ship.
A thousand fireballs erupted with terrifying explosions that echoed simultaneously and descended all at once.
The sky was ablaze, as if a thousand suns contended for brilliance.
The sword-wielding figure vanished again, reappearing above the Mechanical Fortress, and under the manic and incredulous gaze of Xie Egui, the sword light shifted, releasing a ’Destruction Aura’ which emanated from the sword. Within the aura was the embodiment of total annihilation for living beings.
When Xie Egui attempted to turn, he was shocked to find his Mechanical System lagging ever so slightly, especially the ’Subspace Tower,’ which didn’t even have time to activate.
Metal Magnetic Field Control was already a Tier 2 Level V Full Level Superpower, but with the boost from Fusion Mode, it directly upgraded to Tier 3.
The effect was remarkably effective.
Thus, Xie Egui could only desperately stack shield upon shield, bracing for the impact.
The collision resulted in boundless radiance expanding outward, consuming everything in its wake.
The group of Cybertronians who had initially just intended for a casual planetary visit suddenly witnessed this grand display upon entering the radiation layer, feeling as though the very Spark itself was being snuffed out.
’Have we come to the wrong planet? Did we indeed land on an armed Ascension Civilization planet?’
’Where did this planet get such a terrifying individual? Could he be a Super Interstellar Warrior from another Star System?’
’If that sword was aimed at us, wouldn’t we be entirely annihilated?’
’Can’t say for sure, but at least half of us would perish.’
’Wasn’t the Great Curved Saber stolen by him?’
’If he’s the target, I suggest we turn around and head back!’
’Yes, yes, we are Autobots, not Decepticons, we love peace and avoid conflict.’
’Nonsense, we Decepticons love peace too, alright?’ A Decepticons Cybertronian angrily retorted.
It proved that when you are sufficiently powerful, even the most fervent Mechanical Species would not mind altering their mentality.
’What do we do now, should we go around?’
’What a joke, if they mistake us for troublemakers, then what?’
’Then retreat?’
’If the General knew we retreated without a fight, our fate would be equally miserable.’
’So what do we do?’
’Play dead, play passerby, act nonexistent.’
’Good idea.’
...
In fact, the warring sides, now fighting in true ardor, indeed had no attention to spare for a bunch of mechanical little outcasts on the battlefield’s fringe.
At this point, the ’Five Kilometer Light Saber’ in Gao Gong’s hand was once again raised, and this time, the sword was enveloped in various types of flesh and blood. One part of the sword was covered in tentacles with eyeballs, while another part seemed pasted with large mouths that kept moving, as Gao Gong’s hand transformed into flesh, wholly integrating with the hilt, embodying ’Man and Sword as One.’
Meanwhile, most of Xie Egui’s massive Mechanical Shell had shattered, and from the core of the outer Space Fortress, a pure white tower rose.
Unsurprisingly, this was the ’Tier 4 Civilization Architecture’ that could deploy the ’Space Clamp,’ and a rare spatial-type Civilization Weapon at that.
Gao Gong took a deep breath and once more gripped the sword to strike down.
On the Space Fortress, half of the defense platforms were already smoking, and the dense Energy Shields from before had dwindled to just a few dozen still operational.
However, with this ’Subspace Tower,’ the Mechanical Fortress remained very much the formidable fortress.
As his sword sliced down, the purple space and white space opened simultaneously.
The purple space was undoubtedly the Purple String Space, while the white space was the parameter space created by this ’Tier 4 Civilization Architecture.’
The parameters of the two spaces frantically stirred, causing the space to expand or contract, protrude, or sink, as if soaked in water or doused in hot oil.
With a ’crack,’ the final piece of ’Space Glass’ on Gao Gong’s Space Armor shattered completely.
