Chapter 38: The Star-Slayer Shows Its Might!
BOOM!
Beneath the vacuum of deep space, a rapid tachyon signal wave erupted in subspace.
Several magnificent warships, like steel giants crushing the mortal world, arrived on the battlefield from a nearby galaxy via hyperspace lanes.
Before their majestic forms, even a Titan Warship would seem insignificant.
The "Star-Slayer" warship, a super-warship equipped by the "Cyberlex Fleet," possessed powerful firepower capable of easily destroying a planetary-class unit in a single strike.
Wherever the "Star-Slayer" appeared, the intensity of the battlefield was unimaginable.
Currently, only three "Star-Slayers" had joined this galactic battlefield.
However, the fleet escorting them numbered over a hundred thousand ships!
Immediately, defensive units belonging to the "Purification Protocol" side formed large-scale clusters and launched a fierce, charging attack at these "Star-Slayers."
Their colossal hulls, larger than gas giants, were surrounded by layers of distorted force shields, shimmering like countless stars.
These "Star-Slayers" and their escort fleet showed visible damage to their armor.
It was clear they had already endured several difficult battles before arriving at this galactic theater.
And now, they would live up to expectations and complete the directives issued by the Main Host.
"Star-Slayer has locked onto the Purification Protocol's purification center..."
"Main Cannon Matrix energy accumulation has reached peak levels..."
SWISH!
Three crimson torrents, illuminating the entire galaxy, shot towards three mechanical planets.
Along their direct path, hundreds of Purification Protocol defense units attempted to intercept each torrent, but it was all in vain.
RUMBLE!
Wherever the beam torrents passed, all units were annihilated.
From warships to dust, without exception!
The onboard shields of the Purification Protocol defense units were pierced like scrap paper along the way.
The chain reaction in subspace caused by the catastrophic explosions even temporarily severed communications across the entire battlefield due to a brief pulse wave.
Each torrent obliterated hundreds of enemy ships blocking its path.
The terrifying beams continued their advance, undiminished, towards their initial predetermined targets.
On the three mechanical planets, countless sub-units of the "Purification Protocol" had already predicted the threat of the "Star-Slayers."
Planetary defense shields rose, encasing the entire planetary bodies of the mechanical planets without any blind spots.
And on the mechanical planets, hundreds of Cyberlex Warframes had already landed.
Their colossal bodies, thousands of meters tall, moved like mobile fortresses, striking out in all directions while maintaining astonishing speed.
Though unable to reach light speed or near-light speed, they were at least tens of thousands of times faster than the speed of sound.
Every step they took caused violent tremors on the surface.
If it were an ordinary planet, with so many Cyberlex Warframes landing simultaneously.
Without them needing to attack in any way, even just a few steps would likely cause the continental plates of that planet to shatter immediately.
But this was a mechanical planet created by the "Purification Protocol." From the surface to the mantle, the entire crust had undergone unimaginable engineering modifications.
Countless sturdy mechanical structures filled every corner of the planet, industrial toxins permeated the entire world, and the atmosphere had completely vanished from these mechanical planets.
Even if these Cyberlex Warframes unleashed their full firepower, they could only damage a very small portion of the mechanical planet's structure.
On the surface, countless "Purification Protocol" sub-units attempted to intercept them, but it was futile.
Any "Purification Protocol" sub-unit encountered by a Cyberlex Warframe was instantly engulfed by terrifying artillery fire.
After countless mechanical units were destroyed, their wreckage was not spared.
The molten remains of countless dead and wounded mechanical bodies, fused by the high-energy artillery fire, formed rolling rivers of metal that surged towards various mechanical structures.
Forced into a corner.
The "Purification Protocol" side also deployed massive warframe units, only slightly inferior to the Cyberlex Warframes, in certain areas of the planets to engage them.
These warframes forged from superalloys, each strike they unleashed could cause the collapse of mechanical structures several times grander than Mount Everest on Earth.
Every time an enemy warframe fell, the subsequent chain reactions of explosions would inflict unimaginable losses on countless friendly and enemy units on the surface.
While the battles on the planetary surfaces were not as terrifying as the clash of millions of warships in space, they were still incredibly brutal.
However, the "Cyberlex" side clearly had no intention of destroying these mechanical planets with these warframe units during the landing assault.
These Cyberlex Warframes were units dispatched by the Main Host for the purpose of diversion.
The moment the planetary shields were raised, the Cyberlex Warframes fighting on the surface immediately detonated the dark matter engine cores they carried within their bodies.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A series of chain reactions from the explosions tore through the planet's surface and mantle.
The planet's partially deployed shield barriers immediately extinguished.
The torrent of beams fired by the Star-Slayers tore through the shield layers on the planet's surface, ultimately ripping through the mantle and shattering the planetary core!
The torrent of beams pierced through the celestial body.
The scene was incredibly spectacular.
Thousands of Purification Protocol defense units, deployed near the mechanical planets to guard them.
Because they were too close to these mechanical planets, they were instantly annihilated by the residual shockwaves.
"Boom—" "Boom—" "Boom—"
The wreckage of the mechanical planets shattered into pieces.
The signal waves emitted by the mechanical planets were also momentarily interrupted by the Star-Slayers' attack.
Three mechanical planets were destroyed.
Within the galactic battlefield, a small portion of the Purification Protocol defense units experienced brief command confusion, but the turmoil was quickly quelled.
This was because there were more than just three mechanical planets in this galaxy.
The mechanical planet connected to the massive fractal geometric celestial body was still continuously emitting signals.
The signal waves currently being released by this "Purification Protocol" purification center were urgent and rapid.
The defense units within the galaxy immediately became frenzied, launching a desperate counterattack against the "Cyberlex" fleet units pouring into the galaxy, attempting to annihilate all these invaders.
In the localized battlefields surrounding the three Star-Slayers, at least 300,000 warships, both enemy and allied, were unleashing a furious barrage of firepower. The sheer chaos of the scene was comparable to the instantaneous brilliance released by a supernova explosion.
This brilliance persisted for a while before being suppressed by three even more intense beams.
The Star-Slayers, having just completed their star-slaying strategy, launched another attack under the command of the "Cyberlex."
BOOM!
This time, three torrents of light beams directly targeted the purification center.
The "Purification Protocol" side was almost unable to resist.
Another series of chain explosions, accompanied by the demise of celestial bodies, caused the "Purification Protocol" units within this galaxy to fall into a state of chaos.
Some engaged in illogical self-destruction, while others attacked indiscriminately like maddened flies, regardless of whether they were friend or foe.
