The living metal used by the Necrons, once solidified into a warship's hull and armor, was no less durable than highly compressed alloy. That was what allowed it to withstand a direct hit from a large-caliber macro cannon.
Once its shields were breached, the warship was immediately subjected to concentrated fire. Dense volleys of macro-cannon shells streaked through space. Though the tomb ship kept maneuvering within a small area with its Inertialess Engine, it was still struck by a shell. Amid the violent explosion, the warship, more than ten kilometers long, burst apart into wreckage.
After multiple upgrades, the Golden Warships' individual combat power even surpassed that of Vermilion Bird-class Warships of the same tier. Had it not been for their insufficient range and frontal combat capabilities, they would almost have become the New Generation of mainline warships.
Even so, the Gauss Cannon technology brought by the Spirit Machine Race had greatly advanced the Empire's electromagnetic kinetic weapons. The military had already begun discussing whether to equip its forces with a new type of macro cannon.
Yet the first to adopt this new technology was the Golden Fleet. As the Divine Realm's ruler, Lin Zhichen had directly added the corresponding macro-cannon template to the upgrade options, and so this powerful weapon soon appeared on the battlefield.
On the battlefield, after taking a fierce barrage of macro-cannon fire, the Necron Fleet stopped rigidly forming up. Instead, it used its extraordinary maneuverability to split into small tactical fleets that circled the Golden Fleet.
After each volley, the Micro Fleet would immediately activate its Inertialess Engine, instantly crossing several light-seconds to appear elsewhere in deep space and evade any possible counterattack.
On the Deep Space Battlefield, the massive Necron Fleet moved like a school of startled fish, appearing and disappearing in the blink
