Just as Joshua and Nostradamus were engaged in a long pursuit battle with the Void Mother Beast in the High Light Galaxy, in the orbit of the gas giant Poseidon, in the military port of the Atrium people's cosmic fortress, a small group of Atrium soldiers wearing officer uniforms appeared. His face was hurried, and he looked extremely worried as he walked on the passage leading to the interior of the battleship.
"At least six ultra-high-energy reactions occurred around the asteroid belt in just thirty minutes. It is obvious that the battle of void creatures is rapidly approaching the Poseidon Fortress."
The commander of the First Fleet said in an anxious and impatient tone to the technical officer beside him: "Although there are other fortresses behind us - how many seconds can a fortress without a fleet stop the mother beast? Where exactly is the technical department? What are you doing, that thing hasn’t been made yet!”
"Not yet, sir."
After hearing the First Fleet Commander's serious inquiry about the progress of the project, the technical officer immediately and cautiously replied: "The general structure has been assembled, but the energy pressure is insufficient to launch... The Poseidon Fortress is not that powerful at all. The engine."
When he said this, the officer said with a bitter look on his face: As a Midgardian himself, in addition to summoning void life, the production of that last resistance plan has long been put on the agenda in the Poseidon Fortress, but no one could have imagined how much energy it would consume. It was actually so terrifying that the energy supply for the entire fortress was far from insufficient.
"Then connect the engine on the spaceship to the fortress."
Without any thinking, the commander of the First Fleet has arrived at the short-distance teleportation entrance leading to his flagship. He said in a rather depressed tone: "I will inform Barney and Sheena later, the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet." Everyone will agree."
"Not enough." But the officer of the technical department shook his head and said: "Sir, we have already calculated that even if we put all the engines of the three fleets on, while ensuring the basic power, the energy intensity will be quite a bit lower."
"What?!"
This news immediately made the fleet commander who was about to board the flagship unsteady on his feet and almost fell. He turned his head with an angry expression as if he wanted to curse, but after all, he was the commander in charge of a fleet. He could not bear it. He suppressed his irritable mood, but gritted his teeth and said: "This can't be started, what's the difference between it and scrap metal!"
Is it really going to happen here? He couldn't defeat the monsters in the void, and when he encountered the female beast, he was crushed to death like an ant? !
The officer of the technical department seemed to want to open his mouth to defend himself, but before he could really start to explain, in the Poseidon Fortress and the jump guidance field, a huge jump precursor with an obviously extremely high mass far exceeding the previous ones suddenly appeared. In an instant, Whether they were commanders or officers, soldiers or logistics, they all looked into the distance in unison. They all held their breath, wondering whether what was leaping over was the terrifying Void Mother Beast or something else.
Fortunately, the transition channel is silver-blue, which is the color of the people's psychic energy in the atrium. People with sensitive psychic abilities are delighted to know through the transmitted fluctuations that the other party is not a short-distance person inside the galaxy. Teleportation, but from the direction of the home star!
The next moment, as thousands of circular transition channels unfolded, thousands of cutting-edge warships with shiny exterior armor appeared in the eyes of all the Poseidon Fortress soldiers, and cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami rang out.
Beside the port, when the commander of the First Fleet watched the reinforcements from the home star in the distance - the Atrium Central Fleet - slowly approaching the port of Poseidon Fortress, he was not as excited as others. The commander seemed He thought of something, and then immediately grabbed the technical officer beside him and lowered his voice and said: "Tell me, if you add the engines of these battleships, will it be enough to start?"
The officer was stunned for a moment, as if he was calculating in his mind. Then he grinned and said, "That's enough, sir."
But before the two of them could finish their conversation, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in a star field not far from the Poseidon Fortress. This light was like a supernova, releasing a bright light that made it impossible for anyone to look directly at it. , it can be seen that a light golden circular energy wave visible to the naked eye spreads from 360 degrees from the distance, sweeping through all the facilities of the people in the atrium. All departments in the fortress responsible for investigation and information collection immediately fell into panic. , because the powerful energy radiation even burned out the fortress's detectors and radars, overshadowed the keen psychic detectors, and made the entire fortress blind.
But there was no need for detection facilities. At this moment, both the three fleets that were originally in the Poseidon Fortress and the central fleet that had just migrated from the Atrium home star all understood one thing.
That is, regardless of victory or defeat, the battlefield between the mother beast and the two void beings has arrived near the orbit of Poseidon. They must prepare early, and even... take the initiative to attack.
At the same time, the distant light galaxy, the orbit of Poseidon.
A gigantic beast with a body length of nearly a million meters and a thousand kilometers is rolling and rotating in the vacuum of the universe at a rapid and painful pace. The dark green spiritual energy is accompanied by the waving of tentacles and jointed limbs, bringing up waves of vacuum energy. Several asteroids that were pulled out of the asteroid belt were hit by the aftermath and shattered into flying debris all over the sky.
At this time, tens of thousands of huge holes appeared all over the body of the Void Mother Beast, from which dark green high-temperature slurry spurted out, and then condensed into balls of almost black ice in the cold vacuum. That was the result of high-speed metabolic regeneration in its body in order to expel foreign matter - but even with such a violent rejection reaction, the mother beast could not do anything about the foreign matter in its body. The Familia of the Plague Evil God, who had always used plague as a weapon to corrode other people's bodies, was It has to be said that other organisms have invaded the core area of the body, which is ironic.
Not long after, the Void Mother Beast suddenly stopped moving forward and rolling rapidly, and instead seemed to be dead, stopping blankly in the cosmic space. At this time, it seemed to have lost all vitality, even the thick spiritual protection on its body. The shield began to dissipate, but the next moment, it suddenly began to struggle violently. The layers of carapace, flesh, and psychic mineral veins were twisted together, forming countless wrinkles, and countless originally curved tentacles were on the body surface. Stretched straight, it instantly looked like a giant cosmic sea urchin.
Then, countless rays of light golden light began to erupt from the tens of thousands of huge holes all over the body of the mother beast, like thousands of sharp swords made of light. Then, the fragile areas on the body surface of the mother beast that were not covered by carapace Countless wounds were also opened, and more intense and hot light and energy impact burst out from it, lighting up a new star in the vacuum of the universe. The extremely hot temperature even ignited the mother beast's body in a tenth of a second. The carapace and flesh of the watch completely turned it into a huge fireball, making it look like a small sun.
At the same time, a small silver dot seemed to be ejected by the violent energy impact. It flew out from the deepest part of the mother beast's body along an extremely bright energy beam. It flew rapidly for hundreds of kilometers in the universe. Finally, some life reaction was slowly revealed. A faint silver halo appeared around the small silver dot, which seemed to be shattered at any time, stopping itself from flying with the aftermath of the explosion.
"…Ahem."
Spurting out the exhaust gas in his throat, Joshua, who was torn to pieces by the explosion he created, weakly opened his eyes and looked at the Void Mother Beast in the distance that had completely turned into a fireball. At this time, he had no intention to care about himself. No matter what the result of the attack, he raised his four arms tremblingly, then faced each other with his four palms, and lit up a silver light above his empty chest.
Without the Molten Core Furnace, Joshua could only use some of his remaining energy to maintain physical activity and movement. But that little energy could not only allow a legendary powerhouse to move again, but even if it allowed a warrior to remain active, Drifting in the universe cannot last long. The only thing the warrior is thankful for now is that he did not fall into coma in the terrifying explosion and waste the few energy. Instead, he maintained a trace of consciousness, allowing him to leave the mother beast's body. There is still some energy reserve internally, giving oneself the capital to turn over.
Closing his eyes and facing each other with his four arms, Joshua used his last energy to mobilize a trace of steel power and began to quickly shape something in the void. Although he could not see the object clearly in the silver light at first, soon, You can see that it is a primitive round energy core. This structure can only be seen in the bodies of monsters in Mycroft Continent. The utilization efficiency of free energy in nature is extremely low, let alone the body of a legendary strongman. Ordinary small airships cannot support it.
But this is the limit that Joshua can use now - with his current energy reserves, it is completely impossible to control the power of steel to directly create a furnace of the level of the Molten Core. He can only do it step by step, starting from scratch. Some are upgraded little by little.
The full utilization of energy is a sign of the progress of civilization. In the early primitive days, intelligent creatures used burning to utilize the energy in tree and grass clippings. Then as civilization progressed, they learned how to place firewood to make it burn more fully. They also learned to use the power of rivers to operate machinery and use various tools to save energy. Later, they came to steam, electricity, and nuclear energy. Every time energy is more fully utilized, it is a leap forward for civilization. From primitive combustion to fusion reactions, the wisdom contained in them is in the same vein.
The same is true for extraordinary individuals. At this time, Joshua had used his heart furnace as a weapon to attack the energy core and thinking center of the Void Mother Beast. Apart from some reserves, there was no other source of energy in his body, so he could only start with the most primitive and simple method. , the most energy-consuming imitation of the Warcraft Demonic Core began to imitate - and immediately you could see, with a flash of silver brilliance, a translucent and impurity-free original Demonic Core with a radius of more than ten meters appeared in the chest of the warrior. It connected various organs in the warrior's body, and then began to rapidly absorb the surrounding free energy, initially restoring the energy supply to several of the most important parts.
Originally, with the energy consumption of Joshua's organs, a primitive magic core could not supply enough energy for even one, let alone a few. However, due to the previous explosion in the body of the Void Mother Beast, majestic energy fluctuations were heading towards Spreading in all directions, the excessive energy overloaded Joshua's magic core and satisfied part of his needs.
The warrior who had obtained the energy source did not stop his movements. As the silver light flashed again, countless runes and energy circuits suddenly appeared on the original magic core, one after another like a circuit board. Regular lines appear on it and adjust its shape. Soon, a circle of energy-grabbing wings similar to solar panels appeared on the outer layer of this original spherical magic core. Driven by runes, it collected the surrounding energy more efficiently. In just a moment, Joshua was surrounded by An energy vacuum was formed within several thousand meters, and the endless energy began to restore the supply of more organs, allowing the warriors to initially regain their mobility and gold-level energy.
From the original magic core to the energy centers used by various magic workshops and magic puppets, all that is needed is a few simple runes and energy circuits, but what is contained in them is the study and research of dozens of generations of people in Mycroft's world. Work hard to optimize. But this energy center did not exist for long, and was transformed and upgraded again by Joshua using the power of steel - the originally translucent energy center suddenly lit up with seven-color light, which was the color of the elements, and also The color of energy, countless kinds of mutually reinforcing energy began to circulate in the core. It began to produce energy on its own by consuming some high-energy substances provided by Joshua without the need to plunder free energy from the outside world on a large scale.
This is combustion, but it is thousands of times more advanced than combustion. The heat generated by a piece of wood cannot be the same as the heat generated by rocket fuel, and the same is true in terms of energy. After upgrading the energy source in his body to the level of many high mage towers and giant war puppets in one breath, Joshua finally breathed a sigh of relief—at this time, he could already see that there was already a trace of energy flashing in the center of his empty chest. Although the color is different from the sun-like heart of the furnace at the beginning, it is a huge improvement compared to before. This is almost equivalent to the energy that can be produced by several extreme thoughts.
At this point, Joshua was too lazy to continue upgrading step by step. With much more energy than before, he simply called on the power of steel and began to rapidly transform the energy furnace in his body—from one that could self-restore energy reserves. From the elemental core to the resonant furnace core that uses energy to resonate with the surrounding sources, to the star pulse furnace that directly connects with the time and space fluctuations in the external void to obtain the power of the stars, the energy furnace core in the warrior's body is updated to a new generation in almost a few seconds, almost The history of the energy furnace in Mycroft's continent was recreated until the end.
A gray steel ball rotates rapidly in a ring like a star ring. It is flashing with countless shining blue arcs all the time, and then is received by the star ring. This is through the rotation of the magnetic field, and communicates with the outside world. The magnetic energy core resonating with the electromagnetic field of the stars can provide Joshua with an endless stream of energy that is almost equivalent to legend in a universe like the star world. However, this is not the end of the warrior's pursuit. Along with the power of silver steel, Flashing, the gray steel ball began to become smaller. Under the pressure from Joshua, the magnetic energy core, which almost represented an endless source of energy, was endlessly compressed and condensed in the distorted gravitational field, and then...
Boom, with an undetectable roar, a fireball like the sun suddenly burst out, seeming to want to escape from the warrior's chest, but under the constraints of the powerful electromagnetic and gravitational fields, it was contained in the center of the chest, Deep in the heart of the furnace that had been prepared for it a long time ago, as the miniature sun returned to his body, Joshua opened his eyes, and golden light shot out.
It took forty-five minutes for Joshua to rebuild the Molten Heart Furnace and return to the legendary realm.
Only then did he have the energy to sense the dilapidated female beast in the distance that had flown half a light second away.
"You're not dead yet?"
Sensing the void mother beast that had been blown from a round shape into a crescent moon but could still barely move, Joshua couldn't help but frown. He moved his arms and tried his best to restore the pitted shell. Let the hearth of the furnace, which has just started to burn and is still very weak, give priority to restoring the energy supply to the combat part as much as possible: "I remember that the chain reaction blew up at least six energy cores and severely damaged the thinking center-"
Although that is said, since Joshua can regenerate the Molten Core Furnace in less than an hour, it is not surprising that the female beast with two energy cores is still alive, and precisely because In this way, the female beast whose core exploded in her body changed from a round full moon shape to a crescent moon with one side missing. The injury was not unserious. Then again, even if the Void Mother Beast has two energy cores left, it can still drag such a huge body around. The energy utilization efficiency is no less than that of the Molten Core Furnace. In some cases, it is even more stable. Joshua decided that if there was a chance, he must understand the structure of the energy core. It might be from the first-level design structure of the Plague Evil God.
But why didn’t the void mother beast take this opportunity to kill me? Although it will definitely not succeed, the other party should at least give it a try. Thinking of this, Joshua once again sensed the direction of the mother beast's movement, and then his expression changed slightly: "The Midgard people's fleet?! No, it's the Poseidon Fortress!"
The long and rapid chase actually allowed Joshua and the Void Mother Beast to fight all the way from the edge of the high-light star field to the orbit of Poseidon in the outer reaches of the galaxy.
And at this moment, in the direction of the Midgard Fleet in the distance, there suddenly came a majestic spiritual energy fluctuation that was so powerful that even Joshua couldn't help but be shocked! This caused the warrior to immediately start speeding towards the direction of the mother beast and the Midgardian fleet, regardless of the fact that he was still weak.
He had a hunch that those people in the Middle Court, who seemed to have suffered repeated defeats, were not as fragile as everyone imagined.
The last chapter tomorrow, the fight is almost over... Although it's a bit delayed, I still want to finish the whole battle as planned...
