The Micron Civilization’s corpse had one and only one thod of attack. For it, that single thod was enough.
Xiao Yu had paid a trendous price and made comprehensive arrangents, finally luring the Radiance into the trap, making it jump to the side of the Star-Class warship Tianyuan IV to try to attack Tianyuan IV. Because the Radiance’s maneuverability was too powerful, even without four-dinsional jump, the Micron corpse could not catch it. So only by this thod of baiting it could Xiao Yu let the Micron corpse strike directly at it.
Now all of Xiao Yu’s painstaking arrangents had finally taken effect. That body of the Micron Civilization, equivalent to a stellar mass, slamd solidly into the Radiance.
Xiao Yu witnessed a wondrous scene.
After ramming the Radiance at a speed of more than two hundred thousand kiloters per second, the Micron corpse abruptly stopped. In front of it appeared a layer of blazing white radiance, as if the Micron corpse had struck a mass of light. Yet this layer of light possessed defensive power even stronger than Alien Beast Taihao. What the Micron corpse could drive straight through in Alien Beast Taihao, it was now blocked by the Radiance’s defense system.
How imnse was the force of a star’s violent collision? Yet it was held back by the Guardian Civilization’s flagship, the most central existence and spiritual symbol of the civilization, the Radiance.
In that instant the Radiance shuddered violently, as if its whole body had gone rigid from a chill. After the Micron corpse was stopped by that mass of radiance, the next mont the entire Radiance burst forth with a light so bright it stabbed the eyes. At that mont Xiao Yu detected fluctuations caused by many kinds of shield technologies.
From analyzing the current teletry, the shield systems Xiao Yu could identify on the Radiance included a space folding shield, a high-dinsional shield manufactured by another technology whose basic principle was entirely different from Xiao Yu’s four-dinsional shield, a space distortion shield that Xiao Yu was still studying theoretically and had not yet built, and a series of nearly fully optimized high-energy shields. In addition, there were at least five kinds of shields that Xiao Yu had never seen or heard of at all, with unknown principles and unknown effects.
Under the joint action of these many shield technologies, the Micron corpse was blocked.
“The Guardian Civilization truly deserves its na. Their technology is far stronger than mine. My previous estimate was wrong. Even if my Star-Class warships are equipped with the unique four-dinsional shield and two-dinsional shield, the defensive power of my Star-Class ships still does not match the Radiance. No wonder the Guardian Civilization chose war instead of yielding. the Radiance is simply too powerful. I have always underestimated it. Is this the Guardian Civilization’s trump card?” Xiao Yu thought in shock.
At this mont, Xiao Yu’s appraisal of the Radiance rose another grade. Likely even if the three Taihaos of the Taihao Alliance joined together, at most they could barely suppress the Guardian Civilization in overall strength. Any single Taihao civilization probably could not even stand against the Radiance alone.
This was the ultimate ship forged from the blood, effort, and wisdom of the Guardian Civilization’s trillions upon trillions of people.
When the Micron corpse struck the Radiance, ti on the battlefield seed to stop. One second felt as long as ten thousand years. While the Micron corpse hovered before the Radiance for one second, the entire battlefield fell silent for one second.
Then Xiao Yu sensed a roar from the depths of the Specter companion’s heart. He detected that the Specter companion’s life force was being consud at a terrifying rate. At this rate, the Specter companion could control the Micron corpse for less than one hundred hours before dying.
The Specter companion had unleashed all its power, even at the cost of burning its life force. Under such circumstances, Xiao Yu saw another astonishing scene.
The Micron corpse, which had already stopped advancing, began to move forward again, slowly at first. The Radiance’s multi-layer shield system grew ever brighter. In an extrely short ti its brightness nearly reached that of a stellar surface. The small Micron corpse seed like a grain of dust subrged in an ocean of light, yet it was never extinguished. It persisted in existence and strove to move forward.
Xiao Yu seed to hear the tooth-aching squeal of twisting steel and the crashing clatter of shattering glass. He knew it was an illusion, yet the sensation was utterly real.
The Micron corpse was blocked outside the Radiance’s shield system, still about twenty kiloters from the hull. In this situation, after the Specter companion exerted its full power, the Micron corpse advanced by one kiloter.
“Space folding shield has been destroyed.” Such a thought flashed in Xiao Yu’s mind.
The Micron corpse did not stop. It continued forward, and its speed grew faster and faster.
After three seconds, the Micron corpse was fifteen kiloters from the Radiance. Within those three seconds, the space distortion shield and two other shields whose principles Xiao Yu still did not understand were broken through by the Micron corpse.
It kept advancing. At this ti Xiao Yu’s optical instrunts clearly saw dense smoke billowing from certain places on the Radiance. Amid the ocean-strong radiance, the smoke was strikingly obvious.
“The Radiance is damaged.” Xiao Yu thought.
Across the battlefield, many ships began flying toward the Radiance, clearly to render aid. Xiao Yu did not believe those ships could help. After smashing a Planet-Class ship with a tail strike, the Python Alien Beast also tried to assist the Radiance, but in an instant was blocked there by the Star-Class warship Tianyuan IV leading five hundred Planet-Class ships. The five hundred Planet-Class ships and the one Star-Class ship simultaneously launched their most powerful space shattering attack, enveloping the Python Alien Beast, while more than ten million conventional warships launched a frenzied assault from outside.
Such an intensity of attack could not kill or seriously wound the Python Alien Beast, but it could keep it pinned for a while and prevent it from intervening in the battle between the Micron corpse and the Radiance.
Ten seconds later, the Micron corpse was eight kiloters from the Radiance. By this mont, no fewer than nine layers of shield systems had been breached by the Micron corpse, and ahead there were still at least ten different types of shields awaiting it.
At this ti, the Radiance moved, beginning to creep away as if trying to escape. But this region was still under two-dinsional weapon attack. It could not use four-dinsional jump, and space fold technology could not be used either. Moreover, because most of its energy was being devoted to defense, its speed could not for the mont reach the threshold needed to flee.
The combat power and defensive power shown by the Radiance had completely exceeded Xiao Yu’s expectations. This single flagship had already reached or slightly surpassed the combat power of a Level 6 single-entity civilization such as an alien beast or a specter. Yet when faced with the impact of a Micron corpse possessing stellar mass, such performance was still sowhat insufficient.
The Radiance’s defensive system held off the Micron corpse for thirty seconds. Thirty seconds later, the Micron corpse made contact with the Radiance’s body. Xiao Yu saw top-grade materials made by micro-particle aggregated technology begin to lt rapidly like ice and snow under the noon sumr sun.
The Micron corpse kept advancing. After five seconds, it entered the interior of the Radiance. Xiao Yu quietly let out a breath.
No matter what ship it was, its interior defenses were generally fragile. Once inside the Radiance, there would be no need to worry about much resistance. Yet once again the Radiance defied Xiao Yu’s expectations.
The Micron corpse had already entered the Radiance’s interior, where there should not have been overly strong defenses. But the Radiance was different. It seed to employ a technology Xiao Yu had never before encountered, like a block of steel that was extrely hard both inside and out. After breaking through the exterior steel, there were still layers of obstacles awaiting the Micron corpse within.
At that instant, a term surfaced in Xiao Yu’s mind. “Holographic defense technology?”
The appearance of holographic defense technology ant that, not only could the Micron corpse not wreak havoc within the Radiance, it would in fact need to find a way to leave the Radiance’s interior quickly. If it remained for too long, then under the effects of holographic defense technology and internal repair technology, the breach in the Radiance might heal again, and the Micron corpse would be trapped inside.
“Specter, increase speed. Do not get entangled inside it. Punch straight through and get out first.” Xiao Yu swiftly abandoned the idea of letting the Micron corpse rampage within the Radiance and issued a new order to the Specter companion.
“Understood.” the Specter companion replied, and drove the Micron corpse forward once more with fierce montum.
