Shadows of the Deep Space Chapter 1626: 527: Mutual Destruction 2_3
Previously on Shadows of the Deep Space...
In truth, the Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader had no desire to reveal its hidden ace. It had secretly amassed huge stockpiles of Eternal Metal, Energy Crystals, and various scarce materials inside the fortress, with plans to blaze a trail toward a fresh evolution.
Should the Clan Leader learn of this secret, it would face dire repercussions. Yet at this moment, it had no alternative, for pressing on against Su Ming and his comrades could truly spell its end in this place.
“So what if you’re big? I’ll still cut you down!”
Gabres fired back without any fear.
Su Ming's lips quirked faintly. Though he felt no dread, such boldness remained utterly audacious.
“Arrogant beyond measure. Behold my true might!”
Myriad crimson mechanical eyes crowning the Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader’s head targeted Su Ming and Gabres.
Swish, swish!
Beams rivaling those of entire ships tore across the starlit void, striking out fiercely.
“Dodge!”
A flicker of alarm crossed Su Ming’s face as he guided Ilyas in a rapid evasion.
The Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader had lost all reason, unleashing ruinous beams time and again.
Anything caught in their trajectory—be it asteroids, robotic swarms, mecha warriors, or battleships—crumbled away, dissolving into fragility.
Gabres and Su Ming danced precariously on the edge of peril, their senses taut to the breaking point. A single hit could flay them to the core, even if they endured.
“Nowhere left to run!”
The Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader wielded its myriad tentacles, lashing out to blanket the heavens.
“Be careful!”
Celeste’s voice rang out to Su Ming, laced with intense urgency.
Su Ming’s eyes narrowed sharply; time itself appeared to halt. In the next instant, he urged Ilyas into a explosive surge, weaving through the narrow spaces amid the advancing tentacles at breakneck velocity straight toward the Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader.
Even fused with the fortress and vastly empowered, such colossal bulk could hardly match its former nimbleness.
Once he closed in to pierce the fortress's defenses, victory would draw nearer!
“Idiot!”
As Su Ming shattered the tentacle barrier and barreled closer, the Elorazad showed no alarm, only a savage sneer.
Suddenly, the fortress stirred like a living Klein Creature, summoning scarlet, honeycomb-structured Klein Barriers from nowhere.
Su Ming brandished the Dragon Base Spear and drove it into the barrier. It merely rippled faintly on the Klein Barrier's surface, while a tremendous backlash hurled Ilyas rearward.
Right then, tentacles whipped from the rear, coiling around Su Ming.
“Su Ming, danger from behind!”
Gabres bellowed a warning to Su Ming.
Su Ming jolted in surprise and promptly directed Ilyas into a spatial leap, breaking free from the trap.
Yet no sooner had Ilyas rematerialized than a Klein Beam zeroed in.
Su Ming could barely respond.
Boom~
Ilyas took the direct impact, igniting a colossal blast that roared outward.
As the haze dissipated, Ilyas emerged once more, its energy shield shattered into twinkling motes.
Within the cockpit, beads of icy sweat covered Su Ming’s brow; he had narrowly escaped doom.
Just then, a golden beam lanced through the cosmos, slamming into the Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader’s Klein Barrier, birthing a radiant solar flare.
The Deputy Clan Leader’s gigantic form shuddered wildly, its onslaught grinding to a sudden stop.
Su Ming and Gabres whipped around to spot the Legendary Level Star Destroyer·Divine Concealment entering the fray.
“Pestilent beast!”
The Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader glared with seething rage at the Legendary Level Star Destroyer·Divine Concealment.
Over the comms linking Su Ming and Gabres, Commander Alekde’s calm tone broke through.
“Gabres, Su Ming—unleash everything you’ve got. The Divine Concealment stands as your mightiest ally!”
“Yes!”
Su Ming and Gabres split apart, surging toward the Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader.
In a burst of wrath, the Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader parted its jaws, wildly gathering energy aimed at the Divine Concealment, all while directing its tentacles at Su Ming and Gabres.
Su Ming and his ally twisted away at blistering speeds nonstop.
Meanwhile, the Legendary Level Star Destroyer·Divine Concealment unveiled a series of missile ports.
Swish, swish!
Missiles poured forth like a torrent, hammering the Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader’s metal tentacles!
Boom, boom, boom~
One after another, the metallic limbs exploded into fragments.
Su Ming piloted Ilyas to close the distance successfully, hoisting the Dragon Base Spear to stab at the Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader’s Klein Barrier, then slashing fiercely along its length.
Gabres, for his part, zipped around the Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader at top velocity, unleashing volley after volley of beams!
Boom, boom, boom!
Deafening detonations erupted without cease.
The Klein Barrier shielding the Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader weakened steadily.
“Curses!”
The Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader raged uncontrollably, frenziedly siphoning power from its inner Energy Crystals to restore strength and fortify the faltering Klein Barrier.
…
A7 Temporary Defense Line Area.
Ankaga, at the controls of Thunder God, brandished the Particle Light Blade with savage force, cutting down mechanical flying insects in relentless waves.
All at once, a Green Wing Mecha veered wildly toward Ankaga without warning.
“Officer Ankaga, careful! My mecha’s gone haywire!”
The pilot cried out in alarm.
Ankaga glanced over, steering Thunder God to dodge nimbly, looping behind, and spotting a Mechanical Octopus latched to the Green Wing Mecha’s rear, before delivering a pinpoint strike.
Crack!
The Mechanical Octopus cleaved apart in a flash.
In that instant, a piercing cry echoed across the comms.
“Ah!”
Ankaga started, swiveling to check.
There, a Green Wing Mecha struck by a Sharp Arrow, the projectile spearing straight into its cockpit.
“Damn it!”
Ankaga clenched his jaw and aimed Thunder God’s Plasma Beam Cannon downward, firing decisively.
Boom!
