After several rounds of concentrated bombardment, Iax was utterly stunned by the shields of the Ork battle fortresses.
The sheer volume of calculation data nearly overflowed the storage capacity.
No matter how the calculations were run, these strange shields were simply too powerful.
With the Time Attack Module installed, conventional shields should have burst like paper at the slightest touch.
This was clearly abnormal.
The only possible conclusion was that this strange green energy was far from ordinary.
Could it interfere with time?
