Chapter 727: Chapter 604: “Star Annihilation Cannon,” “Gravitational Bomb,” “Wormhole,” and “Dimensional Jump
Facing an opponent whose technological level might far exceed that of their home planet, whether to continue the war or to surrender immediately was a question worthy of deep thought.
However, the opponent had already made the choice for them—the massive surge of energy beasts from the Electromagnetic Domain was a declaration of war!
The executor quickly made a decision, since the other side, having a technological advantage, deliberately revealed coordinates to lure them into this trap and dispatched such powerful four-dimensional war weapons, they clearly harbored immense malice.
Thus, they could only choose to continue the war, to demonstrate the strength of their own civilization, while simultaneously probing the true capabilities of the opposing civilization.
As long as they demonstrated formidable destructive power and war potential, even if they were ultimately defeated, their home world would not be in an entirely disadvantageous position in any possible subsequent negotiations.
“War, continue the war!” the executor transmitted with unwavering determination.
Given the current situation, it was simply impossible to wait for the leaders to finish their discussion and then issue commands, as every minute and every second were critical to the survival of these fifteen warships and their home world.
At the same moment the order was issued, the bottom of the disk-shaped warship cracked open, and tens of thousands of ten-meter-sized, bizarrely shaped “Sentinels” burst forth…
This was a war creation of the Geometric Civilization, typically responsible for intelligence reconnaissance, close-range raids, and the occupation of planets.
Since the individual mass of a “Sentinel” was negligible compared to that of a warship, they could accelerate to ninety-nine percent of the speed of light and were extremely agile. When necessary, they could even detonate the gravitational bombs within, capable of destroying thousands of kilometers of the surrounding airspace on a higher-dimensional level…
In fact, regarding dimensions, the Geometric Civilization was not without significant research; on the contrary, this was a technology fervently pursued by the researchers of the home world. The gravitational bomb was one such achievement.
If using basic nuclear technology as an analogy, then the gravitational bomb was to the hydrogen bomb what the Curvature Engine was to the mastery of nuclear fusion technology!
On the other hand, at the wartime strategy room in the Eternal Star’s capital, a group of chairmen and senior councilors watched, both nervous and excited, the ever-flashing screens in front of them.
In the void, numerous “Sentinels” clashed with the energy beasts, terrifying high-energy rays sweeping out incessantly, annihilating every Thunder Titan in the area.
But in high-end combat, the advantage of the Geometric Civilization became extremely weak. Under the dimensional manipulation of the Space God Nisos and the electromagnetic control abilities of the great God Harrie, soon enough three warships were struck by the erupting Spears of Thunder, disintegrated into the most basic microscopic particles by the billions of degrees of extreme temperatures.
And the weakest God of Flames also became the first god to fall, hit by a Star Annihilation Cannon, engulfed in the destructive light capable of annihilating a world, eliciting continuous exclamations of awe from the councilors.
It must be said, this was far more engaging than any movie!
The opportunity to watch this unprecedented battle from such a “close distance” was also thanks to Lynn’s newly-acquired priesthood of deception.
The rudimentary spaceship they launched was divided into a front and rear cabin; the front one was used to trap Alade, ambushing the opposing fleet, while the rear chamber was separated when Lynn decided to undertake a suicidal spaceship charge.
The purpose of this device was twofold. First, it provided real-time battle reports, and second, it supplied coordinates when necessary, allowing them the chance to benefit from the chaos and clean up the aftermath…
Previously, Lynn had worried that this chamber, disguised as cosmic debris, might be discovered, given that the vicinity was utterly desolate with nothing around.
However, it seemed that his worries were unnecessary now since both parties had started fighting directly. The battle situation was extremely fierce, and there was no time to care about the peculiarities of a meteor tens of thousands of kilometers away.
This was like a grain of sand suddenly appearing on a smooth surface, which was certainly abrupt, but also required full attention and careful searching to be detected.
Moreover, Lynn had applied the disguise abilities of the Deity of Lies to this cabin, hiding the Magic Power and energy fluctuations, which made it even harder to find.
Compared to most of the council members who were consumed in the tense excitement of the interstellar war, Harrov, Vittorio, and a few others wore serious expressions as they evaluated the power comparison between the two sides.
First were those gods from the main world, with the most powerful undoubtedly being the one who could control the power of thunder. He not only erased three galaxy-class warships with electromagnetic force but even blocked close-range scattered neutron cannons from the flagship!
One should know that based on reference objects for measuring speed, these neutron cannons had reached the speed of light, their mass was even larger, and their power was dozens of times more forceful than the weapons mounted on the flying ships intercepted by the council!
If it hit the Eternal Star, it would have been enough to turn the planet they depended on into cork, until it completely fractured!
The other arriving deities, however, were considerably weaker; for example, the weakest God of Flames was frozen by a cooling ray, losing the ability to dodge, and ultimately died under the “Star Annihilation Cannon”.
Moreover, these alien spacecraft possessed a unique dimensional technology that could instantaneously relocate warships as large as a city. The largest battleship used this technology to evade the large-scale Electromagnetic Domain created by the Thunder God.
However, Lynn guessed that this technology must have some difficult-to-overcome flaws, such as too large an energy loss, distance limitations, inability to precisely locate, and so on; otherwise, it should have been used more frequently.
“Just don’t know who will win this war…” Alade smacked his lips, given the current situation, the outcome wasn’t easy to predict, and the power displayed by both sides truly alarmed Alade internally.
The six arriving deities were just the vanguard of the main world, and the fleet that appeared in front of them could also potentially be the full force of the alien civilization. It wasn’t clear if they even amounted to a tenth, but both had demonstrated enough power to destroy the Eternal Star several times over.
Luckily Lynn had a stroke of inspiration, staged a grand play that made both parties mistake each other for archenemies, leading them to start fighting immediately.
It can only be said that the council currently lacks high-end combat power. There is only one ship capable of superluminal travel, and now that the Moon God Ayla has fallen, it is downgraded.
Divine-tier power was only represented by Lynn alone; even within his own divine realm, he couldn’t possibly defeat six gods and a whole space fleet.
“I think there’s a high probability that the gods from the main world will win. That Space-Time Gate has not stopped operating. As time passes, perhaps even more powerful beings will descend upon this universe… We should perhaps think of a way to shut down that Space-Time Gate to balance the power comparison,” Aurora said worriedly.
For the council, the best outcome would be for both sides to suffer heavy losses. They did NOT want any side to achieve a complete victory.
Lynn shook his head and rebutted, “Don’t forget, these unknown alien beings have also mastered wormhole technology!”
Moreover, any technological civilization’s most cutting-edge technology is in the laboratories, hindered by material supply, technological barriers, and most crucially, cost issues that prevent its use in conventional warfare. The technology that can be massively outfitted is mostly generations behind…
Thus, what is happening now is merely an appetizer; the war will mostly escalate further…
This was precisely what Lynn hoped to see. The decimation of a fleet, the death of a few gods meant little; only greater casualties would make both sides tread cautiously!
