Golden Metal Energy Bullets struck the Lightning Aberration's Energy Core like precision shots. The core erupted in a blinding shower of sparks, and the Lightning Aberration let out a shrill scream. The thunderstorm web dissipated, and its body disintegrated into countless charged particles that scattered through the air like fireworks.
A gap opened in the pentagonal formation, disrupting the Leader's command rhythm. It roared and switched to Fire Form, directing the High-Order Fire Aberration to launch "Tracking Fire Missiles" at the Starvault-IX. Chu Yunyi deftly maneuvered the warship to dodge them. The missiles struck the rock wall, triggering an eruption of magma. Seizing the opportunity, he released another illusion and circled around to the High-Order Fire Aberration's flank. The Elemental Decomposition Cannon switched to the "Ice Attribute," and a blue Ice Energy Bullet struck its Fire Core. Its flames froze instantly, and its body stiffened before disintegrating. Next, using the same tactic, he destroyed the Plant Aberration's Vine Core with Fire Energy Bullets. Its vines withered rapidly, and it eventually crumbled to dust.
Only the High-Order Metal Aberration and the Elemental Aberration Leader remained in the cavern. The Leader was completely enraged. Its body cycled frantically between five elemental forms, twice as fast as before. Its Elemental Energy roiled so violently that it seemed ready to explode, like a massive bomb on the verge of detonation. It directed the High-Order Metal Aberration to launch a "suicide charge." The metal giant swung its hammer in a dense blur, spinning like a high-speed steel top, while the Leader condensed an "Elemental Hybrid Sphere"—a black orb combining the energies of all five elements, radiating a sense of utter destruction like a miniature black hole. Chu Yunyi felt the pressure bearing down on him. The warship's right engine was also beginning to overheat from
