The Armor of the Temporal Raiders

An energy wave struck the Spacetime Rift, and it gradually closed. But more Temporal Raiders poured out of the spacetime fragments. They split into two groups: one continued siphoning Temporal Energy, while the other launched an assault on Starvault-IV.

The Temporal Raiders' Siege in the Spacetime Turbulence and the Breaking of the Time Trap

The Temporal Raiders swung their Temporal Blades, creating countless "time traps" around Starvault-IV—traps that could imprison anything entering them in a fixed time loop. Starvault-IV accidentally entered one, and the warship was instantly caught in a "three-minute loop": its hull repeatedly endured attacks from Temporal Blades, suffered shield damage, and activated the Anti-Temporal Engine. Chu Yunyi fought through the confusion clouding his mind and channeled the Star Core Energy within him into the Anti-Temporal Engine. It unleashed an immensely powerful Spacetime Stabilization Wave, finally breaking the time loop.

But the Temporal Raiders' attacks grew even fiercer. They released a "Temporal Deceleration Field," instantly reducing Starvault-IV's speed by 70% while making the Raiders' movements incredibly fast. One Raider seized the opportunity to approach the warship, pierce its hull armor with a Temporal Blade, and begin siphoning Starvault-IV's Temporal Energy. "Energy reserves down 15%!" the Shipboard AI cried. Chu Yunyi activated the "Temporal Counterattack Cannon." Its golden beam struck the Raider, and spacetime around his armor began to destabilize, his body flickering between transparent and solid.

"Their weakness is Temporal Energy Overload!" Chu Yunyi realized that although the Temporal Raiders' armor could manipulate spacetime, it could only withstand a limited amount of Temporal Energy. He adjusted the Energy Frequency of the Temporal Counterattack Cannon, compressing its energy into "Temporal Pulse Bombs," then aimed at the armor core of a Raider and fired. The pulse bomb hit the core, and the armor instantly erupted in a brilliant silver-blue glow.
