In recent years, the Galaxy Alliance's technology had made two leaps forward. Though these were only achievements in practical application, they had still had a considerable impact, especially on the Cocoon Breakers.
The ultrafine particle miniaturization of nuclear reactors allowed them to travel through the universe relatively freely, while the emergence of plasma cannons meant they were no longer quite so powerful.
The first ultrafine nuclear reactor had been used when General Li subdued Xilai.
The first official use of a plasma cannon had been during the great battle in the Beyond the Mist Star System.
Back then, the Blazing Sun Warship's bow had been reduced to nothingness by that plasma cannon blast. It looked very similar to what was happening to the Black Warship now, but both Shen Yunmai and Tong Yan were absolutely certain these were two entirely different things.
There was no sign of any massive concentration of ultrahigh-energy particles in the void ahead, nor any fluctuation of energy.
This was neither the legendary Solar System Defense System nor spatial cutting caused by a gravitational force field.
The force making the warship disappear ahead was somewhat similar to Immortal Maiden He's net, only countless times more terrifying.
The Black Warship was like an insect caught in a net, gradually eaten away by an invisible acidity.
The question was, what exactly made up that net? Why could they not sense it?
As they pondered these questions, they had already retreated into space outside the warship.
Before their eyes, the Black Warship kept coming apart and disappearing, until at last it became part of the void.
More frightening still, they kept retreating at full speed, yet seemed to remain in the same place.
Would they, too, be cut into countless fragments like the warship, then disappear?
