Shadows of the Deep Space Chapter 1775 - 554: Fated Showdown_4
Previously on Shadows of the Deep Space...
In that scenario, all would indeed be lost.
"Lord Long Chen, what is our course of action now?"
Commander Soraya directed her question to Long Chen.
Long Chen's expression flickered for a moment before he addressed Long Ying.
"Long Ying, have your Star Destroyer·Dark take the vanguard."
"While deploying my ship and forces presents no issue, how shall we contend with their high-level combatants?"
Long Ying inquired, her brow furrowed in concern.
"I will ponder that further. For now, simply advance the troops."
Long Chen, acknowledging Long Ying's point, felt a familiar tension.
The matter of troop deployment was manageable, but their reserves of top-tier combat power were undeniably strained.
"Understood!"
Long Ying gave a curt nod.
With the command issued, the Star Destroyer·Shadow spearheaded the advance towards Defense Zone 5.
Onlookers, battlefield journalists documenting the celestial conflict, reacted with astonishment.
"Good heavens, viewers! The tide of battle has shifted dramatically."
"The Heavenly Revelation Divine Kingdom has committed the Star Destroyer Seeking Light! In response, the Federation has deployed the Star Destroyer·Shadow, each side escalating the confrontation."
"The situation is rapidly approaching a critical juncture."
...
The populace observing the live broadcast on the Star Cluster Forum also experienced extreme anxiety.
At that precise moment, the rows of hatches on the Star Destroyer Seeking Light parted, and Captain Asya, piloting the VI Generation Mecha·Holy Judgment Angel, emerged at the head of a multitude of mechas in a daring sortie.
Witnessing this, the battlefield journalist voiced their alarm.
"My stars, the Heavenly Revelation Divine Kingdom has unleashed their ultimate weapon – Captain Asya!"
...
"Indeed? And whom shall we deploy to counter such a threat?"
"The identity remains unknown."
"Who else possesses the capability to stand against him?"
...
The public, glued to the live broadcast, engaged in anxious speculation.
At the Nether Moon Star Defense Headquarters,
Gwen delivered a crucial update to Long Chen and his council.
"My Lord, the enemy's leading force is Captain Asya!"
"It truly is him."
The countenances of Long Chen and the others immediately became grave. Despite prior anticipation, the reality of the situation was far more daunting.
"If all else fails, should we consider deploying the World-purifying Flower once more to cleanse the area?"
Flaya put forth the suggestion.
"No, the World-purifying Flower cannot be used again. The conflict intensifies, and with the Fanluo God Emperor having already committed his forces, a full-scale offensive could commence at any moment,"
Long Chen unequivocally dismissed Flaya's proposal.
As Long Chen and his advisors deliberated, an urgent alert suddenly flashed across the scanning device.
"Warning: Anomalous spatial fluctuations detected within the vicinity of coordinates (4521, 1251, 1455)."
Gwen, her gaze fixed on the designated anomalous zone to the right flank of the Star Destroyer Seeking Light fleet, promptly activated the optical imaging system. Presenting the captured visual, she reported.
"Attention all personnel, anomalous spatial fluctuations have been detected within the enemy's formation."
"What is this? Who have they deployed now?"
Long Chen and the others stared at the image with shocked expressions.
At this very instant, a violent ripple spread through the darkness of space, and from it, a barely discernible Star Destroyer materialized.
"What in the blazes is that?"
...
High above in the void, within the cockpit of the Holy Judgment Angel,
Asya's operational display also registered an impending alert.
"Warning: Anomalous spatial fluctuation detected."
Asya and his crew turned their attention toward the anomaly.
It was then that the Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme fully emerged from subspace, materializing directly before them.
"???
...
Back within the command center at the Nether Moon Star Defense Headquarters,
"It's the Thunder Extreme!"
Gwen exclaimed with unrestrained delight.
"The Thunder Extreme? How has it managed to appear here, and moreover, within the enemy's fleet?"
Flaya and the others were utterly bewildered.
"Never mind how, expedite the message to Su Ming - initiate the breakthrough!"
Long Chen commanded urgently.
"Affirmative!"
Gwen responded with swiftness.
Meanwhile, the forces of the Heavenly Revelation Divine Kingdom stood equally dumbfounded, witnessing a Federation Star Destroyer spontaneously phase directly into their midst.
...
The colossal form of the Thunder Extreme ruptured from subspace, impacting a Heavenly Revelation Divine Kingdom Level 4 Battleship, the Heavenly Wood, with the ferocity of a charging beast.
Boom~
The immense collision sent the Heavenly Wood reeling, its structure collapsing and erupting in a catastrophic explosion.
The Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme itself shuddered violently from the impact.
Within the command center,
Su Ming and his crew were momentarily stunned.
"What is happening!"
A piercing alarm blared incessantly, and the scanning device's display became a dense tapestry of crimson indicators.
An operator reported with visible horror.
"We've blundered into the main attacking force of the Heavenly Revelation Divine Kingdom!"
A wave of astonishment washed over everyone upon hearing the operator's announcement.
Simultaneously, data from the Nether Moon Star Defense Line appeared on the main operation screen. Timi, after quickly reviewing it, relayed the information to Su Ming.
"Lord Su Ming, a directive has been received from the Nether Moon Star Defense Line. They urge us to break through their position with all haste and move closer to the defense line!"
On hearing this urgent message, Su Ming immediately issued his command.
"Prepare all armaments at once! Open fire and initiate the breakthrough!"
"Understood! Loading firing ports 1 through 100W! Activating all interception cannons!"
"Power propulsion system, maximize output!"
...
Timi swiftly relayed the battle orders.
Amidst the vast expanse of the starry sky, the colossal hull of the Star Destroyer 'Thunder Extreme' unfurled all its weapon emplacements and unleashed its interception cannons.
Whizz whizz!
A torrent of missiles and energy beams erupted, smashing into the surrounding vessels and mecha units!
Boom boom boom!
In mere moments, several Level 3 Battleships and surrounding mechas were obliterated.
The Star Destroyer 'Thunder Extreme' surged forward with relentless acceleration.
Witnessing this audacious maneuver, Asya promptly inquired,
"Whose warship is the 'Thunder Extreme'?"
"That is Admiral Su Ming's vessel," Lannette responded without hesitation.
Upon receiving this information, Asya immediately established a connection with the revered Fanluo God Emperor. The communication link was soon secured.
"Fanluo God Emperor, the Federation's Su Ming has penetrated our forces. I request authorization to alter the current battle strategy."
