Shadows of the Deep Space Chapter 1824 - 564: Deterioration
Previously on Shadows of the Deep Space...
In Defense Zone No. 5, the Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme, Star Destroyer·Star Hidden, and Star Destroyer·Praise Light, alongside a multitude of warships, utilized the defensive armaments along their line, reforming their battle formation once more.
Facing the surging, inky-black Chilami swarm that advanced relentlessly.
Swish, swish!
A torrent of missiles and energy beams illuminated the sky like a fierce storm, descending upon the oncoming Chilami forces.
Rumble~
Amidst the blooming fireworks of countless explosions, an innumerable amount of Chilami perished.
Su Ming and the others, observing the Chilami monster tide being forcefully halted, felt a slight easing of their tense expressions.
In reality, the sheer difficulty of their preceding engagement stemmed entirely from Misa’s troops being caught off guard from their rear by the Chilami forces. Their formation had been thrown into immediate disarray, leaving them so grievously battered.
Now that all units had successfully retreated and re-established their lines, their true combat prowess was undeniably revealed.
It must be understood, this gathered force represented the entirety of the Abyss of Descent’s might.
Elder Desim, gazing upon the fully arrayed Federation Forces, felt his heart plummet to the lowest depths. Three Star Destroyers, the Federation Second Legion, supported by the six great legions of the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country, not to mention the formidable weaponry integrated into the defensive line—this combined lineup was already monumentally overwhelming.
Nevertheless, Elder Desim continued to issue orders, compelling the Chilami forces to charge forward endlessly. While the scale of each individual wave wasn't immense, they advanced like an unstoppable tide, one surge after another!
Noticing that Desim and his close companions were refraining from personally engaging in combat, Su Ming and the others also withheld their attacks, choosing instead to observe the unfolding situation.
It was at this critical juncture that a sudden cry of alarm echoed through the public communications channel.
"My heavens! Something catastrophic has occurred in the central defense zone!"
"What did you say?"
The alarm spurred Su Ming’s heart into a jolt. He hurriedly inquired.
"The Fanluo God Emperor has initiated a full-scale assault, even deploying the Divine Authority Star onto the battlefield and unleashing tens of billions of Chilami!"
The man relayed the urgent report to Su Ming.
Upon hearing this, Su Ming immediately accessed the battle data for the central front.
What greeted his eyes was a sight that utterly shocked him. The entire central battlefield appeared as a colossal, ravenous meat grinder, indiscriminately devouring lives from both opposing sides.
He then maneuvered Ilyas, flying swiftly to Mia’s position. Addressing her, he spoke:
"Teacher Mia, have you witnessed the unfolding events in the central defense zone?"
"I have. The situation is dire; what course of action should we take now?"
Mia’s brow furrowed as she monitored the escalating crisis, responding with evident concern.
"Allow me to deliberate."
Su Ming replied in a low, thoughtful tone.
---------------------------------------------
Along the Moon Star’s central defense line.
Sea God Fortress, Black Tide Fortress, and an uncountable number of warships and defensive emplacements unleashed their firepower with unrelenting fury!
Beams of energy flooded the firmament like an unstoppable tidal wave, cascading towards the Chilami that obscured the very stars.
Rumble~
The entire canvas of the cosmos was illuminated in a brilliant spectacle.
As the dazzling light finally receded, countless Chilami and Apocalypse Soldiers were reduced to mere ashes.
Yet, in the very next instant, another colossal mass of pitch-black Chilami and soldiers from the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country surged forth, resembling storm clouds that blotted out the sun.
They advanced relentlessly under the terrifying bombardment, relentlessly pushing their attack.
Upon reaching the formidable defensive line, courageous Federation Soldiers, piloting their Mecha, stepped forward to valiantly hold the ground.
The entire starry expanse transformed into a colossal, grinding battlefield, consuming fresh lives with every passing second.
Within the central command room of the Legendary Level Star Destroyer·Gray Angel.
Urgent red warning windows began to pop up in rapid succession.
"Warning: Energy Barrier strength decreased by 12%."
"Warning: Grey Angel has been targeted!"
...
The Optical Device immediately projected a visual display.
In the vast expanse of the distant cosmos, the VI-type Fortress Level·Kaggsamo was intensely charging its power. Its grotesque mass was adorned with contorted faces, emitting sounds of agony, and its monstrous, flesh-like tendrils, stretching for thousands of kilometers, pulsed with raging black lightning.
Simultaneously, the Legendary Level Star Destroyer·Guang Xiao and the main cannon of the Divine Authority Star unleashed blinding light.
They decisively abandoned their attacks on Sea God Fortress, re-targeting the Grey Angel instead.
The operator anxiously alerted Long Ying.
"Lord Long Ying, we have been locked on!"
Long Ying responded with unwavering calm.
"Activate the GN Position Barrier!"
"Affirmative, sir!"
The operator acknowledged immediately.
Long Ying then raised her hand, gently tapping the small virtual control panel before her. Opening a communication channel, she spoke in a deep, resonant voice:
"Shield of Guardian units No. 46 through 78, units SY-142 and 143... Crystal Origin Fortresses, proceed to your designated coordinates!"
"Understood!"
Calm, affirmative voices responded in unison.
"The Federation is counting on all of you!"
Long Ying declared solemnly.
One after another, the Shields of Guardian and Crystal Origin Fortresses took their positions before the Legendary Star Destroyer · Gray Angel, following the command. Suddenly, three colossal beams of power—one dark, two bright—blasted through the void towards the Gray Angel. Boom~ Instantly, the Shields of Guardian and Crystal Origin Fortresses disintegrated, vanishing like dust! Ultimately, only the singular black Kais Light Pillar managed to shatter all defenses and strike the Gray Angel’s GN Position Barrier, causing waves to erupt outwards. The Gray Angel violently shuddered. Within the main control room. The operator, witnessing the trembling hull, reported with haste. "GN Position Barrier strength has decreased by sixty-seven percent!" "Accelerate the charging process. It is now our opportunity to counterattack," stated Long Ying, gripping the command chair's armrests with both hands, her head lifted, her expression grim. ... At the heart of the battlefield. The Zero-degree Envoy and the Purgatory Angel collided with immense force. Due to the colossal impact, the Zero-degree Envoy was propelled backward. A slight smirk played on the Fanluo God Emperor’s lips as he transformed the Purgatory Angel into a streak of brilliant light, pursuing Morigko at blinding speed. Morigko’s pupils constricted. He maneuvered the Zero-degree Envoy into an extreme evasive turn. The two combatants flashed past each other. Crack! The armor plating on the Zero-degree Envoy’s chassis was sliced open, revealing a chasm filled with molten magma, which was then instantly frozen by Ice Power.
