Sky-cracking Rider

"Jiu?!"

A chirping sound echoed through the cabin of the small flying ship, followed by an eruption of chaotic chirps. The sound of flapping wings was incessant, and the entire cabin was filled with Pure Light Sparrows flying around frantically.

All 3,000-plus adult Pure Light Sparrows were brought here by the S-Class Space Ability User without missing a single one.

Simultaneously, the ship's hull suddenly expanded, and after spending 5,000 Energy Points, its full length reached 100 meters. It transformed into an auxiliary ship of the Airship Battle Group's standard. The small transport airship upgraded to a large-capacity auxiliary ship, and the space that was relatively cramped immediately became spacious.

For Chen Fei, the 5,000 Energy Points were entirely worth it, especially since they could be fully recovered afterward, as long as everything was evened out. No advantage was given to the Dog System's rounding tactics.

"3,216, all brought over!"

With the voice of Heseman Brown, the silvery little flowers floating and vanishing in the cabin finally dissipated; the "Space-Time Seed" had completed its positioning mission.

The Pure Light Sparrow flock bred and thrived inside the giant battleship. The original straw stack "collective dormitory" was replaced by bookshelf-style sparrow nests with automatic incubation heating functions. The bird nests were neatly arranged. Not to mention 3,000 Pure Light Sparrows, but even 30,000 could fit.

When the flock goes on a mission led by Xiao Jiu, there are designated people to monitor the eggs and feed the young birds.

"Xiao Jiu, just like last time, prepare to engage!"

Chen Fei extended a hand toward the frantically flying Pure Light Sparrow flock, and a small bird with entirely black feathers and a few golden flight feathers on its wings flew over, landing steadily on his index finger with a fluttering of its wings.

A pair of crimson claws each wore an exquisite leg ring, indeed proving to be Xiao Jiu. None of the other Pure Light Sparrows had been registered at the Magical Beast Management Center, all being undocumented, so naturally, they had no identification leg rings.

"Jiu!"

Pure Light Sparrow Xiao Jiu tilted its head, looking out the porthole.

The relentless Heaven-Piercing Light Column was just a few kilometers away. Although it seemed far, for the Biological Space Carrier Group beyond the atmosphere, the distance of a few kilometers could be closed almost instantly with a slight adjustment in projection angle.

Due to the impact of light radiation, the surface temperature of the airship exceeded 160 degrees Celsius. If you were to smear some oil and crack an egg, it would probably be fried quickly.

The snow on the ground melted massively, water vapor rose, and the endless snowflakes disappeared, with water cycling violently between the heavens and earth, turning into torrential rain, also accelerating the consumption of the clouds.

A large amount of thermal energy was projected into the atmosphere, accumulating in one place and unable to dissipate quickly, causing local weather changes. It was no longer a nuclear winter; it became nuclear rainstorm.

The radioactive pollution from the nuclear strikes had not entirely decayed. Whether it was nuclear blizzard or nuclear rainstorm, the damage to the natural ecological environment was indistinguishable. The water flows tainted with nuclear contamination flooded the "Seed Nest," rendering the immobile monster mothership even worse off.

Feeling the intense Light Elemental Energy fluctuation, Xiao Jiu's little head immediately comprehended what was happening.

"Jiu!"

With just one clear chirp, the noisy cabin instantly quieted down. The flock of sparrows fell silent, making Mr. Brown, the S-Class Superpower User responsible for cross-plane movement of numerous Pure Light Sparrows, click his tongue in wonder.

Magical Beasts revere strength as king; even the delicate Pure Light Sparrows are no exception. Xiao Jiu, at Human Rank Seventh Stage, held indisputable prestige among the flock, something not apparent under normal circumstances, but at this moment, its exceptional nature became evident.

"Jiu!~" Xiao Jiu chirped loudly again.

"Jiu!" ×3215!

The sparrows responded in chorus. Birds use calls to convey information and emotions, and Magical Beasts use calls to energize Elemental Energy.

"Jiu!" ×3216!

Centered around the flying ship, the Light Elemental Energy within a radius of kilometers began to fluctuate rhythmically.

The area of influence continued to expand.

Inside the Heaven-Piercing Light Column, numerous points of light floated out, actively flying towards the airship.

"It's starting again!"

Heseman Brown was no stranger to this scene.

Once, beyond the atmosphere, he and Chen Fei, along with the others inside the giant battleship, witnessed with their own eyes the small and weak Light-element Magical Beast Pure Light Sparrows using their collective strength to withstand the devastating attack launched by the Extraterrestrial Races' "Sagali" Biological Space Mother Ship's Constant Star Light.

To be honest, with humanity's technological civilization, even adding the Elemental Energy civilization of Cangqiong Star, resisting such a powerful attack in a short period might not be a significant problem. They could manage it with difficulty for a while, but to neutralize it as lightly as the Pure Light Sparrows and make it their own use, perhaps not even in their wildest dreams would they dare to imagine it.

Each Heaven-Piercing Light Column's power could rival a Forbidden Curse. Like now, coming in more than ten at a time, with time, the number could very well exceed twenty, comparable to a Grand Forbidden Curse, and even a Grand Forbidden Curse could not sustain itself continuously like this.

Golden light outlines around the flying ship, the lines and runes becoming more numerous and dense, forming a massive Magic Array.

Such a large Light magic array requires consuming vast amounts of Light Elemental Energy, and fortunately, there's a nearby supply without any Spiritual Imprint, ready for direct use.

The "Sagali" civilization, although also capable of using Elemental Energy, employed a very simple, crude approach, lacking any finesse. Perhaps their exceptional talent made them disinclined to work on utilizing technology.

The Biological Space Mother Ships outside the atmosphere were directly drawing the light of the Constant Stars and projecting it without any conversion, as if the Light Elemental Energy were ownerless, easily controlled by the collective will of the Pure Light Sparrow flock.

In less than a hundred breaths, the first round of Light-based Spells Array took shape, providing the auxiliary flying ship centered amid the focusing light columns with preliminary self-protection capability, preventing it from being instantly annihilated at the slightest touch.

The most obvious effect was the rapid drop in temperature caused by light radiation, maintaining 40-60 degrees Celsius, with a large amount of Light Elemental Energy being drawn into the Light-based Spells Array, naturally reducing the accumulated heat.

Next, the second Light magic array began taking shape, rapidly enhancing the defense against the focused light attacks, though the auxiliary flying ship continued to dart across the sky.

The numerous "Seed Nests" on the ground weren't so lucky. The descending light columns were indiscriminate, enemy and ally alike, obliterating even flying ships, let alone the "Seed Nests" and monsters with mere flesh and blood, which fared no better, especially since they lacked any elemental affinity or resistance at all.

The focused light columns landing on the ground left either large craters or carved deep trenches. The melted snow and falling rainwaters filled these ravines and depressions, forming patches of wetlands. Some non-swimming monsters narrowly escaped the light columns only to struggle desperately in the water, bobbing up and down miserably.

Under the control of Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam," the flying ship's flightpath deliberately avoided the breeding grounds of the Mutants. With this trade-off, this area's Mutants were likely to gain the upper hand soon. Even though they would draw closer to the base clusters, it was more advantageous to the bigger picture.

The crisscrossing light columns abruptly swept across the auxiliary flying ship's hull, and the two rounds of Light magic arrays dazzled with brilliance. Countless Light Elemental Energies were absorbed as the third Light magic array began to emerge.

The view outside the porthole was filled with ultimate daylight, and S-Class Superpower User Heseman Brown asked, "Chen Fei, should we call it a day now?"

He felt that the current situation was safe and it would be wise to stop while ahead.
