Elemental turbulence came crashing down on them like a storm.
The level of protection required for traveling through the void was extremely high. A lone Level Five Black Giant was not enough to sustain stable long-distance travel through the void, but once they formed a small-scale formation, they could completely block the turbulence.
"Enemy accelerating!" Deep Root's detection operator tapped out a frantic rhythm. "They're incredibly fast. They clearly don't have warships, yet they can move at such speed. Bodies like that are simply unscientific!"
"Don't panic." One of the commander's tentacles pressed downward through the air. "They are primitive species that follow the path of individual enhancement. Speed is their only trump card. Keep the combined shield stable. All warships... first volley, fire!"
The instant the order was issued, the muzzles of over a thousand warships lit up at once.
Energy beams and electromagnetic cannons drew dense, flashing trajectories through the void, like a glowing net bombarding those black figures. The leader tilted his body slightly, allowing a searing energy beam to graze his left shoulder.
A thin layer of black liquid metal was shaved away, then swiftly flowed back to fill the gap.
The deputy beside him was even more outrageous. He deliberately lagged half a beat behind and shoved his entire right arm into the trajectories of three electromagnetic shells.
The shells left only a few dents when they struck, while all other kinetic impact energy was completely absorbed.
"Losses at 2.3 percent," the deputy reported without much emotion.
"Looks like the enemy's attacks are within normal parameters," the leader concluded.
Not every Black Giant was holding back. More than half of them were genuinely blasted to pieces by the first volley.
After all, they had yet to reach Level Five. They truly could not withstand such
