The charging rate of the ten Space Ion Beam Cannons aboard the Star Battleship suddenly surged to one thousand percent!
On the high-definition display screen, the green dots representing their own side were going dark in swathes.
Especially the red dot at the center representing the main control program—the Starry Sky Mothership—which had completely turned gray.
Inside the Star Battleship's engine room, the containment magnetic field of the Dark Matter reactor began to collapse. Heat waves capable of vaporizing Cyan Obsidian Titanium surged backward through the energy conduits with destructive force.
The dome of the Star Battleship's bridge warped under the intense heat. Through the gradually melting observation window, they could see a meteor shower like Biochemical Liquid Metal sweeping in from the Starry Sky Mothership!
Thus, under everyone's terrified gaze, the Star Battleship's hull began to come apart from the stern.
Like silver-white fruit peel being stripped away, parts and flesh intertwined as they met the Biochemical Liquid Metal sweeping over from the Starry Sky Mothership, becoming part of that meteor shower.
The Starry Sky Cruisers farther away were unable to escape this disaster either.
Their self-destruct sequence began with the Shield Generators.
The Shield Generators were forcibly adjusted to the wrong frequency by a system virus, then forcibly corrected by the system program after the virus was destroyed. As a result, a resonance effect arose between the shields and the ships' hulls.
The fifteen Starry Sky Cruisers twisted fragiley through space, like foil being kneaded by an invisible giant hand.
The central control modules in the engine rooms were the first to collapse. Dark Matter fuel triggered a chain reaction in conventional space, turning the entire warships into incandescent fireballs like supernovas.
Twenty brilliant flowers of Biochemical Liquid Metal bloomed one after another in the starry sky beyond
