Chapter 948: Section 940 - Whipping the Corpse
The invisible protective barrier enveloping the Biological Space Mothership instantly displayed a phenomenon of energy oscillation visible to the naked eye, yet it collapsed entirely in a moment.
The protective barrier, capable of withstanding a direct hit from a Nuclear Weapon, failed to block the Power of Annihilation. The expanding blue light mist aggressively struck the hull of the Biological Space Mothership, gently "licking" a small piece from them.
The annihilation expansion formula lasted only for three seconds, just slightly more than a breath. Its rapid explosion was unrivaled, and its dissipation was equally instantaneous.
The numerous Starlight Columns focusing on the Transport Battleship were directly reduced by three.
One Biological Space Mothership silently turned into two segments, another had its rear half hollowed out, revealing massive internal organs and parasitic organisms, while yet another lost a small section of its bow, resembling ice cream scooped by a spoon, exposing its snow-white, tender brains, along with cranial cross-sections.
Like a paint shop and a grocery store overturned by someone, colorful bodily fluids and bizarre biological tissues scattered into the void, creating a mess.
Good fortune never comes alone, misfortune doesn't come singly. The dense Light Arrows, almost taking advantage of the terrifying Power of Annihilation from the blue mist's dissipation, harshly struck these Biological Space Motherships that lost their protective barrier.
With only bodily defense left, the surface of the Biological Space Motherships immediately displayed densely packed, bowl-sized holes, with flesh and blood rotting. It's unknown how deep those Light Arrows penetrated.
In the pure void, the power of Light Arrows was maximized.
Strike when they're down.
In the next instant, another massive swarm of Light Arrows came rushing in; both parties were waging a zero-cost war, naturally not sparing the grace of the Starlight Columns.
The Pure Light Sparrow Flock unhesitatingly launched a focused attack on the three Biological Space Motherships that lost their protective barrier and were heavily damaged, with most of the Light Arrows directed their way.
Countless Light Arrows violently pierced into the bodies of the three Biological Space Motherships; some parasitic organisms were hit on the spot before they could escape.
Even the Human Position Ninth Rank Attack Spell, though part of the Light Series, has formidable power that shouldn't be underestimated.
The Starlight Columns concentrated on the Transport Battleship began quickly decreasing, and the Biological Space Motherships, arranged in a hemispherical formation, moved away.
Uncertain how many strategic-level massive weapons Chen Fei had, these Biological Space Motherships chose to withdraw from the battle to avoid complete destruction.
S-Class superpower user Heseman Brown, shaken by the Strategic-Level Element Annihilation Bomb, regretfully murmured to himself, "It's unfortunate that my special ability can't penetrate these big guys' protective barriers; otherwise, a direct in-contact detonation wouldn't have required such a terrifyingly powerful Strategic-Level Element Annihilation Bomb."
Even at the S-Class, psi skills cannot be entirely unrestrained.
Chen Fei heard Mr. Brown's words, shook his head, and said, "Sending it in would be useless; the interior of the protective barrier should be an electromagnetic shielded environment; it can only be detonated with a timer."
He wasn't so greedy; achieving the current results was already quite satisfying.
Timed detonation is less precise than remote detonation; a tiny deviation could lead to a great miss, especially in the cosmic void, where even a half-second difference can mean missing the annihilation radius (500 meters) of the Primary Tactical Elemental Annihilation Bullet, bombing nothing.
If able to only annihilate the protective barrier, it's entirely meaningless. For enormous entities like Biological Space Motherships, they can restore the protective barrier in an instant with just a thought.
Adam: The number of Biological Space Motherships remaining engaged in attack is 11, with the minimum overall length of 4.71 kilometers, diameter 0.5 kilometers, and the maximum length of 7.15 kilometers, diameter 1.3 kilometers.
More and more Biological Space Motherships withdrew from the attack sequence, and the number of concentrated Starlight Columns decreased.
Unfortunately, Chen Fei no longer had a second Strategic-Level Element Annihilation Bomb on hand.
If he had more... these massive entities wouldn't have escaped.
The Human Position Ninth Rank Light Series Attack Spell "Flashing Spirit Barrage" continued, wave after wave, or rather, it should be said, it was corpse-striking; whether it was the Biological Space Mothership split in two or the one decapitated or the one with its waist cut off, they all lost stable posture, rolling slowly in the void.
After being repeatedly shot, some Light Arrows could even penetrate and exit from the other side of the hull, showing how the giant flesh and blood mass had rotted to a state of untold devastation, torn beyond description.
"'Adam', commence loading for the Railgun, 600-millimeter caliber grenades, number 100, targeting the heavily damaged Biological Space Motherships."
While commanding the Artificial Intelligence AI with new instructions, Chen Fei patiently awaited the complete withdrawal of the remaining Biological Space Motherships from the battle.
Currently focused by the Starlight Columns, the Transport Battleship remained protected by the Light Magic Array but likewise couldn't launch attacks; directional energy could be assimilated by the Starlight Columns, and physical projectiles would be directly vaporized.
Though it would be possible to use Mr. Brown's psi skill to deliver some missiles or Tactical-Level Element Annihilation Bombs, there was no need to waste precious uses of the skill on these relatively insignificant matters.
"Are those big guys really dead?"
Upon hearing Chen Fei's words, the S-Class superpower user immediately guessed his intention.
Truly, birds are like their owner; the Pure Light Sparrow Flock relentlessly launching the "Flashing Spirit Barrage," this bird's parent wanted to use heavy grenades to directly blow them apart.
In terms of efficiency in shredding flesh, the 600-millimeter caliber demolition bomb's power surpassed the Light Arrows.
"If you don't eliminate the roots, they will come back with the spring wind."
Chen Fei had indeed worked related tasks at the Aircrew Base; some Mutants had notably resilient vitality, so handling them shouldn't be done carelessly; otherwise, they could easily regain vitality right under one's nose, making a comeback, and causing greater havoc.
Thus, it's necessary to ensure full extermination, hunt down the residues, execute all juveniles, obliterate entire families, collect tissue samples for biological analysis, eliminate potential risks, then burn the bodies, spread the ashes, disinfect, leaving no remains, ensuring a thorough cleanup.
Even having dealt with these Biological Space Motherships several times, their biological characteristics remained completely unknown.
What if they played dead?
Or, like worms, revive as two creatures once cut apart.
If these hidden threats remained, the achievements Chen Fei now secured would vanish like cooked ducks flying away, wasting a Strategic-Level Element Annihilation Bomb for nothing, and even the core First Rank Magical Beast Crystal Core isn't cheap.
"Isn't that an exaggeration?"
Heseman Brown's words had barely fallen when the view outside the window of the Transport Battleship suddenly dimmed, and all Starlight Columns vanished; the last retreating Biological Space Motherships were already beyond 1500 kilometers, rendering missile launches or "Flashing Spirit Barrage" Light Arrows meaningless.
"It's necessary; later we need to push these wreckages into the atmosphere, letting them burn completely within the atmospheric layers."
Chen Fei deliberated for a moment and gave another command to the Artificial Intelligence AI.
"'Adam', dispatch a few Landing Crafts to collect some flesh samples."
These actions seemingly treated Biological Space Motherships like Mutants.
Though enhanced in transport capacity, the Transport Battleship carried all necessary facilities and equipment, Railguns, Missile Nests, Laser Cannons, Particle Beam Cannons, Landing Crafts, Combat Mechs, ensuring execution of Chen Fei's commands.
"Roasted or stewed?"
Mr. Brown looked utterly terrified, damn, are citizens of The First Sovereign of Blue Star all this fierce?
In the traditional customs of Blue Star's First Sovereignty, everything can be eaten, limited only by being tasty or not.
Like Chen Xiao'er, when things get serious, even iron can be snacks, crunched crisply.
"For gene analysis, not for food!"
Chen Fei looked expressionlessly at the guy who obviously got the wrong idea, apparently completely unaware of the operational methods of a military contractor.
Arriving at the wreckage of the Biological Space Mothership, the Landing Craft continued flashing nearby, where Combat Mechs responsible for collecting tissue samples attacked the surviving parasitic organisms on the wreckage.
The Biological Space Motherships were not just massive entities but also huge biological settlements, hosting significant numbers of parasitic entities, some responsible for sustaining life resources transfer or conversion, some for cleaning, some for defense, not necessarily all "Sagali" type parasites.
