[There are still quite a few friends asking about the Reader Group. I've posted it at the end of the chapter twice already, so I guess no one sees it when it's at the end. So this time, I'll post it at the beginning. This is the last time I'll post the group number in the chapter. Penguin Group number: 1107655535. If you want to urge me to update, hurry up and join, although I might not update even if you urge me ()]
"Zeratul, I've deciphered the energy frequency of their shields. I can open a crack just big enough for the Void Seeker to enter without being detected, but it can only last for three seconds. If I do it again, we might be discovered. You must seize this opportunity."
"Three seconds? That's long enough, Phase-smith. Your decryption is very timely."
After speaking, Zeratul saw a crack appear in the shield in front of the Void Seeker. He controlled the Void Seeker to enter it, and then the crack closed.
During this time, Variegated Blue was completely unaware.
The thousand-meter-long Variegated Blue was simply too large compared to the twenty-meter-long Void Seeker. The most crucial thing was that the Void Seeker didn't seem to be equipped with any powerful weapon systems. At least Zeratul hadn't found any weapons on the Void Seeker yet. So how was he supposed to kill this biggest enemy?
The material of this Xel'naga relic ship was very special. It wasn't made of materials familiar to the Protoss. Its hardness wasn't very strong, and it could even be easily destroyed when there was no pilot inside.
In the first war against Amon, Amon invaded the Khala, which connected the wills of all Khalai Protoss. Even Artanis couldn't escape. The Protoss of all of Aiur became Amon's slaves. They easily destroyed Zeratul's Void Seeker. Later, to save Artanis, and upholding the belief that the ship was as important as the person, Zeratul severed Artanis's nerve cords at the cost of his life, rescuing him from the Khala corrupted by Amon.
Just a few Zealots could easily destroy a ship made by the Xel'naga, which was obviously not that simple.
Like I said before, the material of the Void Seeker was very special. Where was it special?
It was in its high compatibility with Void Energy.
As everyone knows, the two forms of Psionic Energy are the combination of the internal energy of living beings and the free energy factors in the universe. The stronger the Psionic Energy talent of a living being, the closer its resonance with the universe, and the more matter it affects.
The cosmic energy corresponding to Purification Psionic Energy is mainly light energy, heat energy, kinetic energy, electrical energy, magnetic energy... a series of the most common natural energies.
The Void Energy corresponds to the mysterious Void Energy, drawing energy from the space outside the universe, that is, the space where the Xel'naga are located. Void Energy also has many wonderful effects compared to Purification Psionic Energy, but this does not mean that Void Energy is stronger than Purification Psionic Energy.
The material of the Void Seeker can absorb and utilize this energy very well. Zeratul transmitted his Void Energy to the Void Seeker, which could make it indestructible and create realistic illusions.
In Zeratul's memory, when he fully output Void Energy, the speed of the Void Seeker could break the speed of light. Under the kinetic energy of this speed, no substance could harm the Void Seeker, and any object blocking its path would be penetrated.
Perhaps it could...
Zeratul had a bold idea.
Since the Void Seeker didn't carry extra weapons, could it be that it was actually a powerful weapon itself?
No matter what you think, Zeratul thought it was very promising.
He had heard many legendary stories about Tassadar told by the new era Protoss. In order to kill the Overmind, he also chose to directly use the Star Shuttle itself as the most deadly weapon.
Then he, Zeratul, could naturally use the Void Seeker as a weapon, penetrating the body of Variegated Blue in one breath, and he didn't need to take any risks. An energy-sufficient Void Seeker was Zeratul's greatest reliance.
That's what he thought, and that's what he did.
Zeratul put his hand on the control panel of the Void Seeker and injected his Void Energy. At this time, the entire Void Seeker emitted a faint green light, and the illusion was automatically dispelled in an instant, and all the Trigonians naturally discovered Zeratul's existence.
"Not good... King... is in danger!"
The Trigonians Operator, who was loyal to Variegated Blue, once again issued a reminder to it, even though Variegated Blue had discovered this matter before any Trigonians.
Variegated Blue didn't know how Zeratul had crossed its shield, and it didn't want to know. It just felt that such a small bug dared to lurk by its side for so long, which meant that there were more such invisible units among the Trigonians.
Zeratul secretly thought it was bad, "Protoss Scout Troopers, retreat from here!"
All the Trigonians realized this. They had always felt that their every move seemed to be clearly grasped by the Protoss, and every step fell into the Protoss's trap, but they couldn't find out how they were being scouted. They didn't expect the Protoss to have stealth technology that could escape their search.
Undifferentiated mental shocks spread out in all directions. Since they couldn't find the location of the invisible units, they would clear the surrounding area, even if it meant accidentally injuring their own people. Under this sudden indiscriminate attack, all two hundred Scouts were stunned. The Scouts were released from stealth mode and then crashed by the angry Trigonians.
"No, brothers!"
Grief surged in Zeratul's heart, but he wouldn't let emotions cloud his judgment. He piloted the Void Seeker into sub-light speed, circling to the front of the Variegated Blue, flying in through the large nostril in the center, exiting from the tail, then looping back to pierce through the Variegated Blue's innards again, thrusting left and right.
Hundreds of piercing attacks caused the Variegated Blue to almost fall on the spot, and less than a second had passed from when Zeratul activated sub-light speed.
The Variegated Blue's massive body rapidly shrunk like a punctured balloon to a hundred meters long, covered in shocking wounds. Its internal organs were completely crushed, and its life force rapidly drained away. The fact that it hadn't died yet proved its strength.
A few minutes later, all vital signs of the Variegated Blue disappeared, meaning it was completely dead.
Zeratul's action was successful, and the Trigonians' morale plummeted, retreating steadily under the fierce attacks of the Protoss fleet.
Several hours later, the war ended.
Fifty thousand Trigonians corpses floated in the vast space, some intact, others with only half their bodies remaining.
Among them were scattered Protoss corpses.
Although this war was won, and Shen Jun did his best to preserve the lives of the Protoss warriors, casualties were ultimately unavoidable.
Two hundred Scout pilots were unfortunately killed in action, with a dozen other casualties.
Battle losses: one Carrier, two hundred Scouts, one thousand two hundred Phoenix Fighters, five hundred Void Rays, and one hundred Arbiters. These were all defective warships, so their destruction wasn't too painful.
Compared to other civilizations of the same era, even civilizations from the god-making era couldn't achieve such results, and their losses would be even greater. This could be called a great victory.
However, Shen Jun's mood was filled with heaviness.
