Chapter 33: Pushing the Sun to ...... (7000)
In the central fleet of the atrium, the bridge of the flagship Precursor, Commander Taquinn finally raised his hands that had been behind him and pressed them to his face after seeing the inactive flesh of the Void Mother Beast. The old man exhaled with a trembling breath, and then laughed in a tired voice, "It's over...... The last few months have been really ...... Hateful Void Beast, hateful Folby! ”
As he spoke, the old man's voice became full of resentment little by little, and he could see that a flickering psionic light shot out from between the fingers of Taquin's face, and the commander of the Atrium fleet could no longer hold back his resentment towards his neighbors - if it weren't for the Folby people who summoned the Void Mother Beast and didn't destroy it, if it weren't for the Folby people who didn't resist and fled from their home planet in a panic, if it weren't for the fact that the Folby people didn't remind them at all, and planned to use them as bait to delay the Void Mother Beast, None of this is going to happen! If the Folby had informed the Atrium people to cooperate with them a long time ago, perhaps the Void Mother Beast would never have had a chance to grow to such a huge size!
Everything was far from being like this, and everything was the fault of the Folbys.
This kind of thinking has spread throughout the Atrium society, and countless young generations of the Atrium who once had a good impression of the unknown race in the outside world have reversed their cognition, so that the Atrium people who were originally willing to treat outsiders with kindness have changed into xenophobic people who are wary of others, all of which are the fault of the Folby people, Taquin secretly swore in his heart that if one day, he encountered the exiled fleet of the Folby people again, he would definitely lead a large army to destroy them, and no one left was completely purified!
It's like purifying the Void Mother Beast.
Putting down his hand, the old man looked up at the starry sky, where a spaceship was slowly approaching the flesh of the female beast that seemed to have lost its vitality, and all the crew members and scientific researchers were ready to die, and they would have to determine whether the female beast was completely dead at close range, and try to find out where the spiritual core of the female beast was located.
To be honest, Taquinn didn't think that the mother beast would survive the bombardment of the subspace shatterer, he had seen the results of a failed battleship jump, even the most powerful special alloys were cut into sand-like debris, and the flesh and blood of the crew mixed with engine oil flowed in the wreckage of the half-living ship, and no life could survive in that chaotic space, not to mention that after that, it would be exposed to space and all kinds of radiation.
This was his idea, and it was the thoughts of most of the Atrium people - including the people left behind in the Neptune Fortress, many of the Atrium soldiers who heard the news breathed a sigh of relief, glad that they didn't have to face the mother beast head-on, after all, even if they were willing to give their lives for their compatriots and their homeland, it was definitely a good thing that they could not die. After the 'defeat' of the she-beast, many people have even begun to think of the glorious return of the future, and many have begun to cry for their fallen comrades.
But in the distant universe, the strange movement of the chaos monsters ruthlessly shattered their imaginations.
"High energy reaction!"
At the moment when there was a hint of a smile on the faces of all the people in the atrium, a red alarm suddenly lit up on the detection station! At this moment, in the flesh and blood wreckage of the original mother beast, thousands of thick tentacles suddenly burst out, firmly entangled the scientific research ship that was cautiously approaching, the solid alloy shell and the emergency jump disengagement device were useless, it was twisted into a mass of steel wreckage in just one second, and then turned into countless fragments in the violent explosion.
At the same time, a sharp and bright beam of light shot out from the flesh wreckage that should have no activity - it crossed the distance of light seconds, directly hitting the body of the subspace shattering cannon, the silver diamond-shaped octahedron, the terrifying energy fluctuations almost instantaneously made this huge artificial creation, the pride of the Atrium people ran straight through from beginning to end, and the aftermath even burst out from its tail, so that a large number of Atrium fleets were shattered and temporarily paralyzed.
Not long ago, even the legendary mage Nostradamus had been plotted to destroy the beam of destruction reappeared, but now, it is far less powerful than the original time and space can be shattered, just a thick and condensed fortress-level main cannon, but even so, it is no problem to destroy a superweapon that has just been built without the attention of the people in the Atrium, and there is no guarantee and defense facilities for it.
Puff, puff————
In the vacuum, the sound waves could not be transmitted, but in the minds of all the people in the atrium who looked at the distant cosmic space with shocked eyes, there seemed to be a sound as if rotten flesh and internal organs were slapping together, and then reuniting, the flagship bridge of the central fleet in the atrium, Taquinn stretched out a hand, trembling and pointed to the Void Mother Beast that was slowly reorganizing and regenerating in the optical lens, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but the invisible force oppressed his vocal organs, so that he could only tremble and watch the mother of monsters reappear in this world again.
Reborn from the thousands of knives of the spatial rift, the Void Mother Beast returned to its original shape like a spherical sea urchin - but compared to the beginning, its size was greatly reduced, with a diameter of only about 550,000 meters, not to mention the original solid shell, which had not yet regenerated, only countless fragments of black chitin that were broken and loose, and the thick psionic shield was so transparent that it seemed to not exist, but even so, it was a super life larger than the fortress. Regrouping from its loose nanoviral form to the giant entity it is today, the she-beast is hungry like never before—all of its battered tissues are crying out for energy and organics, and it desperately needs to go to a living planet to plunder its biosphere and restore its mass and condition.
But obviously, the far-beam galaxy is still dozens of astronomical units or even hundreds of miles away from the nearest ecological planet because of the orbit of the planet, and if you want to go over, with its broken body, it may fall apart in the middle of the journey. But it doesn't matter.
Isn't there just so much organic resources right now?
The female beast turned her body, and it aimed at the thickest front of the carapace in a panic, at this time, the atrium human fleet that was quickly organizing the array, for the chaos monsters who were not taboo, most of the fleet was a half-life, half-mechanical structure of the atrium fleet was completely a delicious meal, at most you needed to open the outer layer of iron cans. It doesn't mind such a little trouble.
So in the next moment, the Void Mother Beast, which was roughly reorganized and had shrunk several circles, rushed towards the Atrium Fleet that was barely reorganized with a more ferocious and more hideous wounded beast momentum than before, its speed accelerated in an instant to exceed three thousandths of the speed of light, and the Atrium Fleet did not hesitate to fire in unison, using psionic light spears to deal with this huge invading enemy, but even the salvo of more than 3,500 warships in the Central Fleet plus the Three Colonial Star Fleets, At most, it scorched about one-tenth of the front of the female beast, and the depth of destruction was no more than 300 meters, which was painful for the female beast, but it was only a muscle that was dug out, and it was not enough to stop moving.
Attack, no effect, defense, pointlessness, evasion - in the face of the impact of a giant meteorite with a diameter of more than five hundred kilometers, the battleship located on the edge can escape, what about the main force in the center of the array? It's not like you're going to be smashed by a mother beast!
Is there any other way to deal with it?
From joy to sorrow, Commander Tarquin, who was in a state of great turmoil, had nothing but dazed anger in his eyes at this time, he could lead fleets and fleets of other races around the asteroid belt, and he could easily drive away the huge space amoeba swarms, but he had never encountered such a situation, and he had never known how to deal with this huge, sturdy, regenerative super life that could survive even if it was cut into powder—it was really beyond his ability.
But it was clear that the old man had forgotten one thing - their reinforcements from their home planet were not just the Central Fleet with engines, but also the Void Beings they had summoned from the Void Door.
Behind the female beast, a scorching red fire accompanied by explosive speed, the latter came first, crashed into the rear of the female beast, and just when everyone didn't know what was happening, the female beast that was originally rushing towards the Atrium human fleet twisted as if it had spasmed, and then the direction of flight deviated. For a cosmic-scale object that is moving rapidly at the speed of light at three thousandths of a thousandth, a slight deviation from the direction is a complete stagger, and after more than ten seconds, the stunned Tarquinn watched as the huge Void Mother Beast grazed the edge of the Atrium Man fleet and flew towards their rear!
At this time, Joshua, who was slapped away by one of the mother beast's tentacles, accelerated again and flew towards the tail of the Void Mother Beast - just now it was the warrior who launched an attack on the rear of the mother beast, causing its direction of action to deviate and save the life of the Atrium Man, and it was he who kept attacking the body of the mother beast, so that the mother beast, who had been frightened by the consequences of his entry into the body, turned her attention to attacking him, and forgot that she was moving rapidly towards Poseidon.
Soon, the Void Mother Beast crossed the Neptune Fortress, an artificial fortress built by the Atrium Man on the gravitational equilibrium point of Poseid, and flew towards the internal orbit of Poseidon with Joshua - during this period, the Mother Beast of course found herself falling under the gravitational pull of the blue gas giant, and it wanted to accelerate its escape from the shackles of gravity, but since Joshua was there, it was impossible to let it succeed, relying on the flesh and blood of the mother beast, Joshua burned the furnace again, and tried her best to involve the other party's energy, Let the Void Mother Beast have no time to change directions and speed up. Unless the other party wants him to enter the body again and make a big explosion.
If that was the case, Joshua wouldn't mind really blowing herself up again, completely blasting the two remaining energy cores of the mother beast.
Covered in condensation—water oozing from plant tissue—Taquin wiped the water left on his forehead, and he looked at Joshua and the Void Mother Beast in the direction of falling towards Neptune, with the wisdom of this fleet commander, of course he guessed that it was Joshua and the others who had just pulled the energy of the mother beast, so that the other party did not extinguish their fleet, but it was the intention to force the other party into the orbit of Poseidon......
His mind suddenly stopped, and Taquinn felt that there must be some crucial element behind this, but he couldn't understand it, which made the old man feel miserable, but no matter what, with a punch that spread across the surface of Neptune, it was enough to prove that the Void Mother Beast had completely crashed into the interior of the gas giant.
A gaseous giant whose outer layer is composed of 99% hydrogen and helium.
"What the hell is the 'Titan' thinking?"
In the control room, countless voices sounded, discussions, focusing through optical instruments, everyone could see Joshua's four-armed giant form entangled with the Void Mother Beast, of course, they were shocked and grateful for the reinforcements who saved their lives, but they couldn't understand what the other party's actions were for—what was the point of beating the Void Mother Beast into the gas giant? Wouldn't this allow the other party to conceal his whereabouts with the help of a thick gaseous layer, and then slowly absorb material to recover from his injuries? As for the ability of the Void Mother Beast, they all already have a general understanding, so some people will be confused.
"Could it be that the giant god intends to use the violent storm on Neptune to tear apart the structure of the Void Mother Beast?"
Someone put forward such a possibility, but it was rejected by most people, because the result of physically destroying the body of the mother beast has just been seen, except for paralyzing the mother beast for a while, there is no meaning, and maybe it will also make the other party split to produce offspring, which will become more difficult to deal with.
"Wait—look!"
Suddenly, near the observatory, there was an exclamation from a crew member, and he immediately passed on the scene he saw to the people around him, so after the news spread, almost everyone saw it, and the surface of the huge star of Poseidon mixed with blue, yellow and white appeared, and a trace of undetectable dark green appeared, which was like a drop of water falling into oil at first, but then it began to spread rapidly, as if it was literary and artistic, and the chaotic fluctuations eroded everything around it into green waves!
"It's a she-beast! The Void Mother Beast is spreading among the gas giants...... Aren't they only feeding on the ecological planet? ”
As soon as these words were spoken, the atrium man who said this shut his mouth - even if the atrium man himself has a large number of trace elements in his body, all intelligent life cannot be composed of pure organisms, and it is not surprising that the Void Mother Beast can feed on the matter in the gaseous giant, and it can only reveal his ignorance when he says it.
At this time, the Void Mother Beast is experiencing the impact of the Neptune storm, its fragile outer body is being cut by the chainsaw-like wind, blown away, and then turned into inactive matter particles, but at the same time, it is also rapidly condensing the solid fluid shell to resist the impact of the wind, in addition, it is also greedily absorbing the tiny matter particles in the outer layer of the gas giant to strengthen itself, and in terms of the momentum of green expansion, compared to the harsh environment of Neptune, it seems that the ability of the Void Mother Beast is superior.
Without any superfluous words, the Atrium fleet began to merge and descend towards the surface orbit of Neptune, and Taquinn asked his lieutenant with a terrible face, only to receive an even worse answer.
"I'm sorry, Commander...... Because of the energy supply of the subspace shattering cannon, as well as the several rounds of salvo corresponding to the mother beast just now, the battleship has not much energy left...... We can't defy Neptune's gravity and shoot a spear of psionic light. ”
The adjutant with a blank face numbly talked about the predicament encountered by the Atrium Fleet now, and in the command office of all the other warships, a similar scene was being staged: everyone was told that they would either sit back and watch the Void Mother Beast recover in the gas giant, and then fight head-on, or they would be pulled down by the gravitational pull of Neptune while firing the psionic light spear.
To put it bluntly: wait to die, or die.
“…… It's super life beyond the scope of our technology. ”
The bald middle-aged man, the commander of the first squadron of the Atrium Colony, touched his head, which no longer had half a leaf, and showed an expression that was difficult to describe in words, and he said calmly to the psychic communication channel that was only open to the commander level inside:
"I kind of want to throw in the towel."
And the commander of the Third Fleet of the Colonial Star, a middle-aged atrium man named Xina, looked at the withered yellow leaf that had just fallen in his hand, and he was silent for a long time. This atrium man remembered a lot of things, how he joined the army, how he navigated the universe, how he climbed from a junior officer to the bottom of the current fleet commander little by little. Finally, Sina recalled a very familiar old man, the old man who piloted the space fighter and risked his life to inform the two void lives of his friends.
Alzera's face of calm death echoed in Sinah's mind, and it calmed his heart. The commander of the Third Fleet felt a force fill his body.
"Absolutely not."
He said with determination.
After saying that, Cina laughed instead, and he was not worried, and the Atrium Commander immediately ordered, "Shatterer, all personnel leave the ship." ”
"Confirm coordinates: green spots. Where the Void Mother Beast is. ”
- The people in the atrium have already sacrificed a lot, and I don't mind if I have one more. Thinking of this, Cina let out a long breath: "Shoot the light spear, and crash into it." ”
In the bridge command room, there was no sound except for the movement of the controller who determined the firing coordinates and impact coordinates of the psionic light spear according to the captain's instructions. The middle-aged commander closed his eyes and sat back in his command chair, the light curtain in front of him revealing a long parabola and a straight line, which was the trajectory of the Shatterer's fall and the launch of the psionic light spear, but he had no intention of going to the emergency exit.
"Countdown to engine self-detonation...... 220,219,218……”
But just as the battleship was no longer resisting the gravitational pull of Neptune, it began to slowly fall towards its surface, resulting in a moment of weightlessness, Cina suddenly opened his eyes, he looked around, and angrily scolded the surrounding commanders: "I said that all the personnel left the ship!" What are you goddamn idiots doing here?! ”
No one responded to him. All sat in their seats. Someone is using a light curtain to bring up photos of himself and his family in the Colony Star, someone is using the psionic channel to leave a message for their relatives who may still exist in the distance, some people are crying, some people are scolding themselves for being stupid, why should they accompany a large group of people to the funeral because of the impulse of the moment, while his friends are joking that their souls can go on the road together and then merge at the mother tree.
The Third Fleet is made up of people whose homeland has been destroyed by the Mother Beast, and they have no place to return.
No one left.
The battleship was falling, and the psionic light spear had already fired four rounds, and the millions of degrees of psionic light spear had pierced the outer carapace of the mother beast, which was originally not an injury to the void mother beast, but the strong air flow of Neptune expanded the wound, causing the material on the surface of the female beast to be lost. But because of this, there was no light inside the Crusher except for the red emergency light that represented energy tension, and the original roaring psionic engine gradually stopped running, but the light became brighter and brighter, and the overloaded grumpy psionic energy was continuing, waiting for the moment of explosion.
"Countdown to engine self-detonation, 82, 81, 80, 79......"
Not only the Shatterer, but also a number of warships were falling one after another, also firing light spears to attack the she-beast, taking some of its mass from its surface. Like a rain of steel, mixed with a hot flow of light, emergency escape pods flew out of the battleship that was deorbiting, and was received by the other battleships that did not fall. The scene was silent, like death.
Not bothering to scold his disobedient crew again, Cina closed her eyes once again and sat down in her seat. Many shots appeared in his mind like a marquee, but none of them were about himself, which made the middle-aged man secretly angry: he had planned to look back on his life before he died, but instinct turned out to be as he wished.
"It's really hard for me."
And at this moment, a calm voice that made Sina feel unfamiliar sounded in his head: "It's a good thing to dare to sacrifice, everyone likes brave people, but it increases the workload of me and Joshua." ”
"Give me a good life, don't keep thinking about dying - be a hero, but it's not your turn."
With words that seemed to be mocking, as if to praise, Sylnar suddenly felt that he was surrounded by a faint blue light—accompanied by the fluctuations of time and space that were all too familiar to him, the commander of the fleet, and he did not know where he was teleported in an exclamation, and the entire interior of the battleship—and even all the Atrium people inside the Atrium battleship that was falling and preparing to blow themselves up, suffered the same situation.
And with the dark blue space-time passage opening behind the four-armed steel giant standing on top of the female beast's head, the legendary incarnation of Nostradamus appeared on Joshua's side, and the warrior did not look back, but said in the spirit link: "Rested? ”
"Barely able to use one trick."
The old mage, who was hit by the Void Mother Beast's high-energy laser that was enough to vaporize a city in an instant, replied solemnly, "Any more and I will die." ”
"Then freeze the big guy down there—it will take less than a second."
The Iron Giant spread out his four arms, and the massive gravitational field shifted, causing the endless hydrogen and helium in Neptune to converge into his arms like a waterfall flowing backwards. Joshua said softly while gathering these microscopic elements that neither Nostradamus nor the people of the Atrium, who had been using psionic energy and had never studied microscopic matter particles much, did not know what they were for, "When the time comes, I need you to retreat with me - remember, you must run far enough!" ”
"Don't worry."
Nostradamus first frowned and glanced at the huge Void Mother Beast at the bottom of his feet, he felt a little tricky - it was almost impossible to fix such a big guy with a space-time spell, and even if he paid a certain price, it could only be said that there was a possibility of success. But to Joshua's latter request, the old mage happily agreed: "I can't guarantee success, but I will do my best—then I'll go first." ”
Before he finished speaking, without waiting for Joshua to reply, he turned into a blue streamer and flew in the direction where the Void Mother Beast was, and not long after, with a wave of time and space fluctuations, the huge Void Mother Beast actually paused for a short moment, and could vaguely see that behind the thick gas layer, there was a dark blue humanoid who was flipping through his magic guide book, burning the pages in the book, and doing his best to maintain the solidification of space at the cost of consuming the original power of the magic guide book.
And in this short moment, Joshua did a lot of things, in his spiritual sea, Hotaru and Rin were resonating with his soul, and the spirit of the three was assisting him in extremely complex calculations, Joshua took a deep breath, so the huge hydrogen helium gas mass that was huge enough to cover the Atrium human fleet was attracted by him from the surface of Neptune, and then it was quickly compressed by the steel power of the warrior, condensed, and turned into a small dot that could not be checked.
"Since it's all hydrogen and helium, there's nothing strange about nuclear fusion." With strange thoughts flashing in his mind, Joshua looked at the countless hydrogen and helium aggregates in his arms, which were compressed and condensed by him to the extreme, and could hardly be seen with the naked eye, and his whole body suddenly lit up with a dazzling golden-red light, and as the warrior increased his energy output step by step, he put endless energy and heat into the small point that was almost about to explode in his arms, and the hurricane suddenly rose, causing the space to boil and overflow, and even blew away some of the gas on the surface of Neptune.
And the crimson light illuminated half of the Neptune.
At this moment, a small, golden, dancing sun was held in Joshua's arms, just as he had held his heart, it was extremely hot, and the power from the creation of the universe was surging in the middle of his four arms, and the warrior's mind had nothing but the coordinates of the Void Mother Beast, and he thought of nothing but the complete destruction of the Mother Beast.
- Is it strange to perform nuclear fusion with a large amount of hydrogen and helium alone?
Actually, of course, it's strange and bizarre. However, magic and supernatural power are inherently miraculous things, and the purpose of its existence is to make people do incredible, miraculous things.
The legendary powerhouse Joshua thought he could do such a thing.
So, today, he didn't push the Void Mother Beast into the sun as he had thought before.
Rather, it pushed the sun towards it.
In the next moment, a sea of fire formed by nuclear fusion ignited Neptune.
