Chapter 234 Wormhole Collapse
Chapter 234 Wormhole Collapse
"How strange?"
Mo Yuming muttered to himself, his mind filled with doubt, his eyes fixed on the mysterious black mist in front of him.
At that moment, the Black Sky Battleship reacted swiftly, its powerful energy shield instantly activating, like an indestructible shield, tightly protecting the entire battleship.
Immediately afterwards, the warships launched a fierce attack on the black mist opposite them without hesitation.
A row of large and small machine guns, neatly arranged along the side of the fuselage, simultaneously emitted dazzling light. The white and red rays intertwined, like streaks of lightning piercing the darkness, instantly illuminating the surrounding void and making it as bright as day.
However, something surprising happened—the next second, the expected huge explosion did not occur, and there was not even the bright flash that should have been seen when the enemy exploded!
After a round of intense and powerful firing, dozens or even hundreds of high-energy particle cannons shot into the black mist like raindrops, but they seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss, disappearing without a trace, just like slender silver needles falling into a pile of soft cotton, without even causing a ripple.
"This is too outrageous!"
Mo Yuming exclaimed inwardly. Before anyone around him could notice him, he hurriedly used his soul power to propel the Youfeng towards the direction where the spatial rift had appeared earlier.
He had only one thought in his mind: he had to find the entrance as soon as possible and escape from this strange and terrifying place.
However, when Mo Yuming arrived at the place where the spatial rift had once been, he found that it was completely empty, without leaving even the slightest trace.
Left with no other option, he frantically searched the surroundings, leaving no corner unchecked as to where the entrance might be hidden...
At the same time, the Black Sky Battleship launched its second attack, this time with even more artillery fire. The Black Sky Battleship adjusted its position, pointing its bow at the black mist, and hundreds of machine guns on its hull opened fire simultaneously. Laser cannons, ion cannons, electromagnetic cannons... all kinds of high-energy cannons, both those that could be named and those that couldn't, rained down on the enemy like a dense barrage.
It was as if a giant firework had suddenly been set off in the pitch-black void, turning the hundreds of miles of black mist crimson. Finally, after a few breaths, Mo Yuming heard a sound like muffled thunder coming from within the black mist.
Finally, the black mist was blasted away and gradually faded away, revealing the true form of the warship known as the 'Ghost'. The 'Ghost' warship was not a single one, but a group of them, a large swarm.
Thousands of ships, even smaller than the shrunken and deformed Ghost Phoenix, were densely packed together. Each Ghost ship was only a few feet in diameter and about twenty feet long. The hull was made of semi-transparent glass, and the surface of the fuselage was extremely smooth. As a result, the laser cannons with powerful penetrating power were deflected when they hit the ship's fuselage, without causing any damage.
After being attacked twice by the Black Sky warships, the 'Ghost' fleet only lost its defensive black mist; the entire fleet suffered no substantial losses.
This was probably not the first time the two fleets had clashed, and neither side showed any intention of fleeing.
While the Black Sky Battleship was firing its cannons, hundreds of small aircraft on board also launched their attack. Under the cover of powerful artillery fire, they quickly flew towards the enemy aircraft group. Meanwhile, the 'Ghost' ships also began their attack. They only had one laser-like energy cannon on their bow, but unlike the Black Sky's laser cannon, their laser cannons were very thin, each laser beam only as thick as a finger, but their power was not to be underestimated. When the laser beams hit the Black Sky Battleship's defensive shield, they could trigger a violent reaction in the shield, causing the energy shield to 'buzz...'.
The Black Sky Battleship's defenses are also extremely strong. The enemy's super-powerful lasers can only cause the defensive shield to vibrate. However, the enemy has nearly a thousand ships, and each time they fire, there are thousands of attacks, which is an extremely powerful test for the Black Sky Battleship's defenses.
Mo Yuming had already taken refuge inside the Youfeng spaceship, which was like a tortoise shell. Although he couldn't activate the defensive shield, the Youfeng itself was extremely strong. Furthermore, being hidden behind the Black Sky warship meant that the current battle didn't have much of an impact on him.
The attacks launched by the 'Ghost' fleet grew stronger and stronger, and the battle between the two sides reached a stalemate. Asteroids and meteorites within tens of thousands of miles of the battle zone were shattered, with explosions like thunder and debris and sparks flying everywhere. Mo Yuming, who was hiding in the Youfeng, was almost knocked unconscious by the shockwave.
It seems the Black Sky Battleship has met its match this time. After a fierce battle, both sides suffered losses. Most of the small aircraft sent out by the Black Sky Battleship were shot down, and cracks appeared in its defensive shield.
The 'Ghost' fleet, consisting of thousands of warships, lost only a few dozen aircraft.
Due to its unique warship shape, the 'Ghost' spaceship makes the Black Sky warship's machine guns have an extremely low hit rate, and its surface defense is extremely strong.
The high-energy cannons had very little effect on it. The few ships lost were mainly damaged by aircraft that circled around to the rear, because its only weakness was the tail-mounted propulsion system.
Clearly, the Black Sky Battleship knew its weaknesses, but small aircraft have limited penetration capabilities and it would be difficult to break through the enemy's defenses and get around to the rear.
The battle was becoming increasingly unfavorable for Black Sky, and the warship's leader began to consider retreating. The warship slowly retreated towards the wormhole entrance, but during the fierce fighting, the activation of the ability shield hindered the ship's entry into the wormhole. As the ship approached the wormhole exit, the shield caused a tremendous tremor at the exit. The void surrounding the wormhole trembled.
"The crack has reappeared! There it is!"
Mo Yuming, hiding in the tortoise shell, once again sensed an aura from another realm.
“It’s still a little off!”
Just as Mo Yuming was propelling the spaceship toward the crack, the crack suddenly closed again, making Mo Yuming stomp his feet in anger.
"It's appeared again, but why isn't it in the same place?"
When the spatial rift reappeared, Mo Yuming discovered that its location had changed, now appearing behind the spaceship, causing him, who was focused on the front, to miss his target once again.
Hundreds of small aircraft of the Black Sky battleship were shot down by the 'Ghost', and several huge cracks appeared in the defensive shield, resulting in heavy losses.
Meanwhile, the opposing 'Ghost' fleet only lost a few dozen warships. Faced with the aggressive enemy, the Black Sky warship had no choice but to flee, but the enemy pursued relentlessly, and the defensive shield could not be removed until it had fully entered the wormhole.
Otherwise, the Black Sky Battleship would be riddled with holes instantly. While powerful, the Black Sky Battleship lacks the enemy's monstrous hull. It cannot directly confront the enemy's laser cannons.
As Mo Yuming watched the Black Sky Battleship retreat, he grew increasingly anxious. The Youfeng was currently short of energy and lacked a pilot to engage it. If the Black Sky Battleship retreated into the wormhole before entering the spatial rift, the Youfeng would be directly exposed to the 'Ghost' fleet and become a sitting duck.
Seeing that the enemy wanted to retreat, the 'Ghost' fleet naturally would not let them escape. So they fired even more intense machine gun fire at the Black Sky warship, and thousands of laser cannons simultaneously fired at the front of the Black Sky warship's defensive shield.
With a deafening roar, the extremely sturdy defensive shield shattered completely, and a massive amount of energy suddenly exploded. The colossal ship, thousands of feet long, was thrown backward and rolled by the violent energy. Nearly half of the ship's hull, which had already entered the wormhole, was forcibly pulled out, and the entrance to the wormhole, which was hundreds of miles wide, was also blasted to pieces.
The once peaceful wormhole instantly became violent and restless. The distorted spacetime tunnels inside the wormhole collapsed instantly, and spatial rifts, like hideous wounds, covered the void around the wormhole's exit.
