Sustained Bombardment

The region that had just been ravaged by spatial turbulence finally returned to calm.

As the universe repaired itself, the space throughout the region gradually stabilized.

After ten full minutes of large-scale, sustained spatial attacks, even Hege was struggling to endure. Fortunately, the intensity of the attacks had not quite exceeded the upper limit of his defenses, allowing him to keep the Defense Barrier standing through a constant supply of energy.

Although the Defense Barrier had not been breached and Hege himself had not been harmed, it had indeed consumed a considerable amount of his energy, just as Lin Kexin had intended.

Even as an individual of a Ninth Order Biological Civilization, the energy stored within him was not infinite. Once consumed, it needed to be replenished. It was like the warships of technological civilizations: you could continuously power their shields, but if the warship's energy supply could no longer keep up, the shields would naturally be unable to hold. The principle was the same.

Compared to Hege, Douglas at his side was in a far worse state.

Although his senses were extremely sharp, allowing him to detect the formation of Spatial Rifts or regional spatial compression in advance and evade them immediately, he still occasionally failed to escape the continuous, irregular spatial damage caused by the Zero-Point Bombs.

The three legs he had lost and the countless wounds covering his body were the best proof of that.

It would probably take at least a month for him to recover completely.

Of course, Douglas was still a Seventh Order Leader-class creature. There were naturally those in even worse condition than him—Hege's personal guard.

Their original numbers had not been large to begin with, and only nine of them had survived this barrage.

And they had truly only survived. Every one
