Sky-cracking Rider

Satellites outside the atmosphere have captured images of multiple biological space motherships beginning to adjust their ship postures, and the stellar energy reactions are becoming increasingly intense.

The small flying ship turns towards Base 1, preparing to accelerate, when suddenly the thick clouds above burst into a red glow, and then suddenly brighten up, filling the entire view with a dazzling light.

Chen Fei exclaimed silently that this isn't good and quickly shouted a warning.

"Everyone hang on tight!"

The ship made an emergency evasive maneuver, turning the cabin deck from horizontal to a steep slope, and the sudden strong overload erupted, causing the keel structure to creak, with many people caught off guard and falling to the ground, or being pressed heavily against the cabin walls. A few didn't have time to grab onto something stationary, being thrown up into the air. Just then, dozens of flexible springs suddenly shot out inside the cabin like a spider web and caught the randomly flying bodies.

In the next moment, everyone was fixed in their current positions. Even if they hadn't grabbed anything, they were secured with something akin to seat belts wrapping around their wrists, ankles, waists, and heads.

Chen Fei reacted swiftly, immediately activating his psi skill to stabilize the situation.

The scenery outside the small flying ship sped by rapidly, perilously skimming past beams of light that spanned the sky.

Though the thick radiation snow clouds can block the starlight columns of the biological space motherships, it's only relative. Blocking one might be feasible, but what about two, three, four, or over a dozen focused strikes?

Even a thick layer of earth's crust might be vaporized!

At least a double-digit number of biological space motherships are waiting outside the atmosphere, and the parasitic species possess ample patience and time.

The cloud cover obscures the situation on the ground, "Sagali" cannot confirm the actual situation of the advance bases, but this time, the test explosion of the new Elemental Annihilation Bomb not only created holes in the clouds but also exposed the positions of Chen Fei and his team.

The parasitic species, simmering with anger, immediately launched an attack through over a dozen biological space motherships simultaneously.

A constant stream of stellar energy sources gathered like they were free, shining into the atmosphere and stretching towards the ground, where everything within the light columns was transformed into a plasma state.

The position of the small flying ship was locked on, and as it moved, the descending beams of light relentlessly pursued it.

The other passengers inside the ship were sent back to their seats. Perhaps due to the fright of facing life and death or the physiological stress from the ship's overload, everyone's face turned pale, yet all gritted their teeth, not daring to make a sound, fearing they might disturb Chen Fei's strategic thinking.

After all, everyone's life depended on Chen Fei's every decision at the moment, and the slightest mistake could lead to a fate where not even their bones remained, dying without a trace.

The only thing the Elemental Annihilation Weapon R&D Team leader and core members could do now was to stay quiet and await fate's choice.

The starlight columns originating from outside the atmosphere were over a kilometer in diameter, and after converging, the temperature within a radius of more than ten kilometers could easily melt steel. The thick snow instantly vaporized, forming large groups of steam fog, which were swiftly driven away by scorching high-temperature vaporization. Fierce winds swept in all directions, making the small flying ship feel like it was caught in raging waves, much like encountering turbulence at high altitude, as personnel inside felt weightlessness one moment and the pressure of a thousand pounds the next, unable even to move a finger.

S-Class Esper Heseman Brown shouted loudly, "Chen Fei, are we returning to Blue Star now?"

He immediately activated his psi skill, narrowly dodging the strong overload that penetrated the entire ship in an instant.

As an S-Class Esper, although his offensive power was lacking, his evasion and escape capabilities were top-notch.

The concentrated starlight column striking through thick clouds was not something the small flying ship could withstand.

"No, you first send everyone else back and then bring over the Pure Light Sparrow flock, all of them."

Chen Fei believed returning to Blue Star at this moment wasn't a good idea.

The extraterrestrial race "Sagali" had already noticed the Blue Star people's actions on Emerald Star. Since they've started getting aggressive, the next wave of attacks would likely follow rapidly, causing Chen Fei's Emerald Star plans to collapse completely, and he didn't want the expanding bases to be exposed to the parasitic species' sight.

Speaking of playing with light, it was the Magical Beast Pure Light Sparrow that was the expert, having almost crafted various light-based spells into art.

However, the biological space motherships on the orbital outside the atmosphere would draw in stellar energy sources and crudely project them over. Even though this was simple and brute force, it was a case of overwhelming with sheer power. Without a way to counter it, one might be obliterated on the spot, just like the adult Metallic Dragons who were previously evaporated by light Great Forbidden Spells, with even their Dragon Heart Core failing to survive.

The last time, the Pure Light Sparrow flock easily blocked the attack of the starlight column, even ending up transforming them into their own light elemental magic array, the more they got attacked, the stronger they became. The starlight column directly became a resource, forming materials conducive for the Pure Light Sparrows to advance in rank.

Without any atmospheric loss, the purest starlight, refined through the light-based spells array, became the purest light elemental system energy.

"Got it! I'll be back immediately!"

Heseman Brown clasped his hands slightly, generating a silver flower that continuously bloomed and shattered, disappearing within the cabin.

The Elemental Annihilation Weapon R&D Team members also vanished from their seats one by one, realizing their presence offered no aid, and that they were better off returning to Blue Star earlier, to immerse themselves in their work.

The continuously blooming and vanishing silver flower akin to a quail egg was this day's "space-time seed," used for navigation when returning with the Pure Light Sparrow flock, considered single-use. However, a new one can be generated every 24 hours, ensuring ample supply unless in constant flight.

"'Adam,' keep an eye on those biological space motherships, avoid as much as possible, guide the light columns to bombard those larger 'seed nests'!"

After the temporary departure of the S-Class Esper, Chen Fei did not idle, starting to formulate strategies. The ground was scattered with large and small "seed nests," and solely relying on long-range strikes from the bases coupled with attacks from mutants meant eliminating them all might take ages.

Even though it was presently a nuclear winter, with constant falling of radioactive snowflakes serving only to hinder the nurturing and growth of the "seed nests," it couldn't achieve a complete life extinction effect.

Adam: GOT!

The small flying ship utilized the thick cloud cover, that hadn't been vaporized by the concentrated light columns, as shelter and camouflage, sometimes zooming out in S-shapes, sometimes in B-shapes, consistently striving to shake off the pursuit of the fiery light columns.

Nearly twenty biological space motherships circling outside the atmospheric domain gathered stellar light, casting columns almost entirely without any blind spots, while other motherships were rushing over from afar, causing the small flying ship's evasive maneuvers akin to fleeing wolves and boars. Thankfully, the Emerald Star Territory was vast with no friendly presences beneath, so even if collateral damage occurred, it would only be the "seed nests" and numerous monsters paying the price.

The descending light columns were devastating for the "seed nests" dug deep into the crust, more damaging than the Elemental Annihilation Bomb, instantly vaporizing the sticky pale yellow life-cultivating fluid, which evaporated thoroughly from top to bottom, erasing even the formed and unformed biological combat weapon monsters before they could even turn to ash, instantly obliterated on the spot.
