Chapter 470: Chapter 275: Encountering the Greatest Nemesis_2
"Ready." Shen Shi stared at the opportunity, decisively giving the order. At this moment, warships appeared silently, along with a continuous stream of various devices.
These included point-specific regional destruction devices, an anti-teleportation system, and even primordial energy devices targeting intelligent systems, covering over a hundred different aspects.
In a sense, this is also a drawback of the diversification of advanced civilization technology levels.
Fortunately, for human civilization, which uses methods to plunder other civilizations’ technologies, there are almost no weaknesses; instead, there is a high probability of catching the enemy’s weaknesses.
The actions of human forces were initially completely unnoticed under the cover of the Holy Land, but as warships and devices continued to unfold, it was ultimately difficult to hide.
However, even when they discovered that they were surrounded, the Thousand Alliance’s actions seemed unchanged.
"They are confident they can calmly leave our encirclement." A military advisor beside Shen Shi said, "Commander-in-Chief, I feel we might catch a big fish this time; otherwise, there’s no reason for an ordinary Thousand Alliance unit to remain so composed."
In military operations, everyone referred to Shen Shi as the Commander-in-Chief.
This was not a requirement of the position, but merely a tradition.
The first interstellar war for humans was won by Shen Shi leading the fleet under the title of Commander-in-Chief, so for the soldiers, this title signifies the legend that has continued from the first interstellar war to the present.
Shen Shi nodded slightly.
He continued to closely watch the small space bubble. As the advisors said, even though it was discovered it was surrounded, the space bubble showed no signs of change, not even in its position.
It still continued, calmly and unhurriedly besieging the remaining Es ships.
Finally, the last Es ship lost all its intelligent life. If not controlled or affected, it would become a drifter in the cosmos, wandering until discovered or destroyed in time and space.
"Action."
Shen Shi decisively gave the order. The next moment, as planned, an invisible assault descended instantly upon the location of the space bubble.
This was actually a position far from the battlefield center, so it was difficult for the Es people to discover, but in front of Shen Shi, who had been watching closely, it couldn’t hide.
The assault appeared as expected.
In front of curvature weapons, once discovered, it was impossible to maintain the existence of the space bubble. This technology seemed to have advantages only in concealment, without strong defensive capabilities.
At this moment, its contents were directly exposed.
It was a not-so-small black sphere.
The surface was smooth, extremely round. At first glance, it looked almost like the ultimate sphere, reminding Shen Shi of his first ship.
But clearly, this was not a warship, nor was the surface liquid metal.
In the next moment, all the robe weapons active on the battlefield dissipated, and in Shen Shi’s eyes, they turned into the most primitive primordial energy robes, rapidly converging along that mysterious route towards the black sphere.
Finally, centered on the black sphere, a truly massive entity was displayed in the void.
Just the volume exceeded several hundred times that of Blue Star, resembling a giant fish, as if in a real ocean within the vast cosmos. Yet, Shen Shi had no doubt it could swallow Blue Star whole and, with just a slight movement, its terrifying form would dissolve into the void in an instant.
It wasn’t curvature transition, as the anti-teleportation system had no detection.
However, Shen Shi keenly realized.
Rather than a transition, it utilized the properties of primordial energy to completely ignore material laws, quickly moving along a primordial energy node!
The only consolation was that this movement method wasn’t as exaggerated as retracting an avatar, and even slower than the Three-Day Civilization’s consciousness information transfer speed, at least preventing an instant disappearance from the encirclement.
"Activate primordial energy weapons!" Shen Shi ordered.
Actually, there was no need for him to speak, as the human fleet was already prepared.
From what they witnessed in the war, the effectiveness of primordial energy weapons against these mysterious primordial energy robes was much greater than other weapon systems.
However, primordial energy weapons typically targeted the primordial energy world of intelligent beings, rarely used against large-scale primordial energy manifestations, so their effectiveness was obviously not optimal. This is also why the Mude System’s technology suffered here—because the Mude System has always highly valued the development of primordial energy technology.
And at this moment, it seemed to confirm why the Thousand Alliance remained confident under human encirclement. The giant fish-like monster, while being reduced layer by layer under primordial energy weapon assaults, continued its frantic breakthrough towards a particular direction, appearing enough to break through the encirclement successfully.
"Indeed, technically, we’re not much better than the Es Fleet." Shen Shi observed clearly.
If not for their sufficient numbers, the enemy’s primordial energy robes would not be endless, making it unnecessary for the enemy to break through, even possibly whittling them down bit by bit like they previously besieged the Es Fleet.
However, Shen Shi still had his own trump card.
"Iwen, take me to intercept." He calmly instructed.
The next moment, the Iwen began high-frequency transitions, swiftly chasing the opponent with a speed far exceeding their virtual travel.
Finally, they sensed panic from the opponent.
Because their speed suddenly increased.
This speed, even surpassing the speed of light, was evidently not without a cost, as its form was swiftly diminishing.
Honestly, this piqued Shen Shi’s interest in the opponent’s technology.
"This thing is practically a universal device!" Shen Shi’s will firmly locked onto the opponent, and as the distance closed, with the opponent’s increasing maneuvers, he saw more, "It can directly manifest tangible attacks, affect curvature, travel at superluminal speeds, and now it seems, even serve as a high-efficiency energy user..."
Shen Shi also roughly understood why Mude was certain this special weapon was related to the relic civilization, relic device.
The technological content within exceeds way too much.
It reached fields not even touched by an A-level civilization.
If this was researched independently by the Thousand Alliance, even if inadvertently developed, it would be a blessing of the cosmic will, and the technical level involved in the entire research process would easily triumph over Mude.
It’s like if a country in the Earth Star Period developed continental cruise missiles, who would believe they couldn’t develop rockets?
Unfortunately.
They encountered their greatest nemesis.
And that was Shen Shi himself!
"Although it utilizes primordial energy in an incredible form efficiently, it evidently still can’t surpass me, reinforced by the Bronze Altar and Time Crystal." Shen Shi’s mind moved, as if an invisible force swept through the entire Iwen, and even Iwen was unaware, as the entire warship shot into the interior of the giant fish, severely reduced yet still unbelievably large, in one transition!
Such an act, if not for humanity’s unwavering trust in their Sage Saint, could easily lead to disarray.
After all, they knew nothing about the opponent’s technology, abilities, or aces, so any unforeseen changes were beyond imagination. If it were a fearless suicide squad or cannon fodder, it might be understandable, but this was the highest leader of humanity!
Yet, Shen Shi clearly had confidence in his ace.
Furthermore, this was just an incarnation from a future line. If lost, it could be remade, perfect for experimentation.
