The Destruction Battleship began to move.
A warning sound, amplified from inside by the Imperial personnel, ca from its chest, but the side of the City of the Ship’s Rudder had already made their will clear.
Loken sat comfortably in his high-suspended mobile chair, surrounded by instrunts projecting captured external imagery in front of him. He could clearly see much of the scenery of the City of the Ship’s Rudder, and naturally, he could also spot the figures of others who had begun to take action.
When the giant ship attracted the attention of the Enlarged Star Soul, legon’s rescue team, Farina and Xiaomo’s material transport team, and Li Ang’s equipnt reinforcent team were all almost in position.
"Respond?" Loken sneered, turning to the nearby phantom of Faser and said, "Broadside the ship cannons."
"Understood."
Faser moved to the weapon control console and said to the engineer there, "I will assist you in activating and aiming the ship cannons."
Below the hull of the Fallen Island Battleship, slender rail-like things extended out. They didn’t have conventional muzzles, but anyone familiar with the creations of the Island Founder would know that they were perfect for guiding energy.
The energy was quickly gathered and released a shining light at the starting point of the rail.
Their brilliance wasn’t because the light was too bright, but because they were separating and decomposing the surrounding objects.
In the twilight, below the island-like aerial giant ship, a series of twilight stars suddenly lit up. These stars flickered suddenly and emitted extrely bright rays, striking instantaneously on the giant made of the battleship.
At the mont the Destruction Battleship was hit, a shield rose. It was like a thin film spectrum, with the light of its elents crisscrossing as if searching for which elent to use to counter the decomposition light waves.
But the Decomposition Light Wave, ford by the reverse application of the lting and Gathering Law, couldn’t be resisted by any elent. The shield was instantly penetrated, and the Star Soul flesh’s battleship armor was decomposed and dispersed without blocking for even a mont.
With the armor destroyed, the Enlarged Star Soul imdiately exposed its internal purple-black flesh.
"Good!"
On the bridge, whether from the Shadow Shipyard or the Seven Shipyards, people cheered when they saw the ship cannons taking effect.
"Utter foolishness."
The Imperial side’s amplified voice said, "Since you’ve bared your fangs, don’t bla the Empire for crushing you!"
The flesh of the Annihilation Star Soul wriggled and surged, covering the torn outer layer and pulling the ships from the side to form new armor.
Even though the Decomposition Ship Cannons could break defenses, one round of shooting was still not enough to inflict sufficient damage.
The rows of gun barrels on the surface of the Destruction Battleship suddenly lit up.
Elental lights flickered and gathered, transforming into destructive waves that were ejected, making the sky above the City of the Ship’s Rudder as bright as day once again.
The surging energy wave rushed towards the Fallen Island Battleship, which began to evade rapidly.
"chanical Creation Furnace connection rate at 89%, good, in full-speed evasive action," Faser said at the console.
The Ancient Giant Ship began maneuvering with incredible speed, driven by the thrust generated by the lting and Gathering Law and the chanical Creation Furnace, moving faster than expected.
People on the ground witnessed the spectacle of a small Sky Island rapidly displacing, narrowly dodging the bombardnt that incinerated an entire street.
With hope regained, people erupted in cheers.
"Good, it’s capable of fighting."
Unlike the people who were excited upon having found a savior, Li Ang and those around him were much more rational. While he was relieved that the Ancient Giant Ship possessed not weak combat power, he did not shout.
He retracted the enhanced spellcasting Orichalcum and jumped onto The Howling Wolf.
Andasu’s driving was accurate and fast, weaving through the chanical arms with agility and speed akin to that of a fish in water—so much so that the Griffin had difficulty keeping up with the silver spacecraft.
This area was currently the safest. Over at the shipyard, Farina and Xiaomo, along with the Order Knights, were engaging the remaining Annihilation Knights, while legon, in rescuing people, also had to fight against the Imperial influence starting to control the City of the Ship’s Rudder. They couldn’t have anticipated soone coming here, and ordinary people had been driven back into buildings, unable to see them.
Nonetheless, luna insisted on following him.
Even though the Female Sword Saint and ii both said that the Eye of God would not pursue them, they understood the situation with that group of "people"—a group of Demon Worshipers who, like Li Ang, but more severely demonized, were rejected by Nebis and could only traverse between special facilities through Dinsional Rifts.
The crisis at the City of the Ship’s Rudder would naturally resolve as long as the Destruction Battleship was destroyed.
But luna said she sensed sothing and wanted to continually guard Li Ang.
And ii seed to have been triggered into a post-traumatic stress disorder-like state by the previous events, a bit shaky, so Li Ang had her stay with him. Her Power of Water and Water Dragon Familiar could collaborate with the Familiar on Li Ang’s side, giving her so use despite her unsteady will.
"The next one."
With each casting enhancent done calmly, Li Ang even had the illusion that he was not in the sa world as the battlefield in the sky.
But almost as if to mock this feeling of his, a sudden change occurred in the sky.
After several rounds of Elental Aggregation Annihilation Cannon couldn’t overco the Fallen Island Battleship, the Annihilation Star Soul switched its attack mode.
Its entire body of purple-black flesh pulled and moved, turning nurous ship directions; the whole Steel Giant sprouted what looked like tallic reversed scales pointing towards the sky, and a myriad of large and small gun barrels aid at the heavens.
Various elents began to converge around its body, their intense presence even altering the surrounding environnt.
Around the ochre gun barrel, dust and large boulders fell, flas danced around the fiery red muzzle, ice and hail surrounded the icy blue muzzle with cloud mist swirling around, fierce whirlwinds appeared around the verdant muzzle... Complenting its colossal size that blocked out the sun, it resembled so painter’s depiction of bizarre and fantastical scenes in the sky.
Then, innurable elental artillery fired toward the sky.
They intercrossed, passing through the Light of the Star Soul curtain rising from the Annihilation Star Soul flesh, and then the colors suddenly transford.
Scarlet flas turned into blue fire, brown rock beca green stone... the properties of the elents and their colors underwent so kind of reversal.
"It reversed the attributes!" Li Ang exclaid in surprise.
"What does that an?" sensing his excitent, Andasu asked.
"The bombardnt created a reverse resistance effect, making the original material rules unable to counteract it, achieving an effect similar to a decomposition beam—"
Before he could finish talking, those elental light cannons arced toward the sky, descending like a colorful energy rainstorm on the Fallen Island Battleship.
Reversed attributes are extrely rare, and for such an attack to be mounted is unheard of, this must be the special attack ’Elental Chaos Cannon’ listed on the Destruction Battleship’s panel.
The sky over the City of the Ship’s Rudder was painted with bizarre light, the chaotic colors were enough to cause dizziness, and even though the speed of the Fallen Island Battleship was fast, the scattered energy rain still struck its side.
The armor crafted with the backing of the lting and Gathering Law, against the Elental Chaos Law-enacted bombardnt, both at the Law Level and diatrically opposed, turned their clash into a contest of primal power.
A series of explosions made the Ancient Giant Ship tilt and tremble, and after the disordered light and dust dispersed, much of the surface armor was damaged.
The good news was that even the Star Soul couldn’t deal a serious blow to the Fallen Island Battleship in one strike, giving Li Ang enough relief to sigh after completing his task.
But stretching it out was uncertain; they still needed to set up a blockade quickly and gather everyone to inflict damage on it.
"Over there! Sothing happened!"
ii suddenly pointed far away.
From high in the air, they saw so reverse attribute artillery hit the district, covering the battlefield where hidden rescue was taking place. The Order Knights’ vanguard raised their shields to block the attack, exposing their position and suffering damage, getting surrounded by the Annihilation Knight Order.
The Destruction Battleship emitted a harsh, grating noise, all ship cannons continuously firing the Elental Chaos Cannons, unleashing a twisted rain of light over the City of the Ship’s Rudder, while the Celestial Blue Ring on Li Ang’s hand burned fiercely.
As the bombardnt spread, pulling more and more innocents into its fold, the Empire’s madness was unrestrained. If this continued even if victorious, it would all beco ruins.
"Where’s that fox-cat?" luna abruptly asked.
She referred to Zoe, and Li Ang knew what she ant—since Ivynis of the Star Soul Greenhouse is driving the Star Soul here as a weapon, couldn’t Zoe have so solution?
"I already told her just now. Whether it’s effective or not, I don’t know yet."
Li Ang readied the Orichalcum, "We’re done here; Andasu, take to the district."
