End of Chapter 757
Just before the level 7 octopus combat group completed its encirclement, Jemin had already crashed into the outer perimeter of their fleet.
In that instant, his figure transformed into a dark golden streak of light, simultaneously activating the Tai Xu Step and the Light God Transformation, and he almost skimmed past the edge of the warship formation.
The leading level seven octopus-men reacted extremely quickly, their armor nozzles suddenly spewing out blazing tail flames, and three energy beams simultaneously blocked his path.
Jemin raised an eyebrow, and instead of retreating, he advanced, suddenly leaping diagonally upwards.
boom!
The first energy beam grazed his shoulder and pierced the side of a frigate behind him.
The second strike landed on the surface of the Guixu Armor, creating a small ripple that was barely swallowed by the steady-state field.
The third attack followed the same path as the second and defeated Guixu Jia, but he managed to dodge it by using his movement ability; the aftershock only shredded a corner of the hem of his robe.
He himself had already used the momentum to rush to the front of the frigate.
It was a standard Tier 6 warship, with a long and narrow hull covered in a dark blue energy coating, and a ring of densely packed shield runes embedded in the bridge.
Jemin glanced at it and quickly made a preliminary judgment in his mind.
Constructed primarily of high-density alloys, the hull features a multi-layered energy buffer structure and an internal neural-based control circuit. Compared to the warships of the wizarding civilization, this ship is more like a product that blends living beings control, energy technology, and racial consciousness. While the technology itself isn't particularly advanced, its structural stability makes it suitable for mass production and prolonged warfare.
The thought had barely crossed his mind before his body had already moved.
Jemin raised his arm, and the dark golden light on the surface of the Guixu Armor instantly converged. His fist left a heavy afterimage in the void and slammed hard into the stern of the escort ship.
Clang... Boom!
First came a sickening metallic cracking sound, then a grotesque crack suddenly appeared on the entire warship, from stern to stern.
The shield had just lit up when it was torn apart by the energy-absorbing properties of the Guixu Armor. The energy channels inside the ship exploded in one go, and blue-white flames spewed out from the cracks.
The entire frigate shuddered violently in mid-air, then tumbled and crashed backward like a sheet of iron struck by a giant hammer. "Chase!"
Several octopus-man level seven warriors behind them changed color simultaneously and immediately pulled the mech up.
But we were still a step too late.
Jemin's punch wasn't a simple hard strike; rather, it was a close-range piercing strike that instantly unleashed the Divine Light of Annihilation upon impact.
A beam of dark golden light shot out from his palm and penetrated directly into the interior along the crack in the ship's hull.
The next moment, the warship began to explode in a series of explosions starting from the middle section.
Rumble!!!
A massive fireball exploded in the void, shattering the wreckage of the frigate into pieces, and even sweeping up three low-level octopus warriors that had just pounced on it.
Before the level six octopus-men could fully deploy their shields, they were torn into pieces by the explosion. Fragments of their armor and limbs flew through the void like black pieces of paper shredded by a gale.
Jemin showed no sign of stopping.
While using the aftershocks of the explosion to create more distance, he casually turned around and unleashed several beams of Fiery Annihilation Divine Light.
A dark golden beam of light flashed through the void, precisely piercing the chests of two low-level octopus-men who were attempting to flank them.
Before the two octopus-men could even scream, their bodies exploded into two scattered clouds of blood mist under the impact of the intensely compressed energy. At the same time, the Eye of All Uses and the True Delusion-Piercing Pupil were also operating at high speed.
During this brief moment of distraction, he quickly scanned the shattered pieces of armor and the hull structure of the nearby warships.
The octopus-men's armor was closer to the biosynthesis route than he had anticipated.
The armor is not simply external protective gear, but rather a semi-parasitic system.
The energy channels inside the armor automatically adjust the output frequency band according to the wearer's nerve signals. There are implicit energy resonance loops between the shoulder armor, chest armor, and wrist armor. When multiple people fight side by side, the overall shield efficiency can be temporarily increased.
In other words, the equipment these octopus-men are equipped with determines that their greatest strength lies in group coordination.
Individually, they may not be impressive, but once they are combined into a battle formation, the shield stacking and firepower coordination will increase exponentially.
No wonder the power of that high-compression energy barrage was so exaggerated, and no wonder his Blazing Annihilation Divine Light had no effect at all.
Jemin quickly came to a conclusion.
He stopped focusing on the low-level octopus-men and instead turned the focus of his all-powerful eye's scan to the warship group behind him.
The warship's energy core is not located on the bridge, but rather in six secondary energy wells embedded on both sides of the hull.
The main gun output of each ship needs to go through at least three layers of energy rectification before being released uniformly through the beam array at the stern of the ship.
The advantage of this approach is stability, but the disadvantage is that energy storage is too slow and it is extremely easy to be interrupted by external forces.
The octopus-men's armor is more like an extension of their own fighting spirit.
With his True Deception-Breaking Eye and Omnipotent Eye, Jemin was able to discern some details from the remains:
These octopus-like creatures instinctively contract their tentacles when exposed to high pressure, and the bioelectric signals at the base of the tentacles are significantly enhanced, indicating that they transmit emotional fluctuations through their tentacles when in a state of fear.
In other words, their nervous systems are more easily affected by emotions than the average person.
This also explains why Viola's laws have such a strong suppressive effect on them.
He continued flying as he analyzed the situation.
Just as he passed beneath a large warship, the warship's secondary guns suddenly turned, and dozens of energy beams shot out from the side of the hull, like a giant blue-white net suddenly unfurling, covering him from above.
Jemin's eyes turned cold, and his body suddenly plummeted in mid-air, almost skimming the bottom of the ship.
The next instant, he raised his foot and stomped.
The warship's bottom shields emitted a muffled groan, and the ship suddenly tilted, crashing sideways into another cruiser that was adjusting its course.
boom!!
The two warships collided violently in mid-air, their hulls twisted into a mess, and their internal wiring short-circuited extensively. Explosions erupted from the point of contact, and several low-level octopus-men who had just rushed out of the hatches and hadn't even had time to deploy their armor were thrown out and rolled in the shockwaves, crashing into the distance before being wiped out by Jemin's follow-up Fire Annihilation Divine Light.
Within a few short moments, the outer perimeter of the battlefield had descended into chaos.
But Jemin's analysis became increasingly clear.
These octopus-men are individually quite skilled, and their fleet is also large enough.
However, their combat system relies too heavily on coordination and formation. Once the front line is breached, the rear fleet experiences a significant lag in coordination. In other words, as long as their rhythm can be disrupted in the shortest possible time, the threat level of this fleet will immediately drop a notch. "Knowing this weakness isn't enough; we also need to find concrete methods."
"Then...we'll find more materials to study!"
With a glint in his eyes, Jemin dodged another volley of fire from the pursuing octopus-men, then adjusted his position and rammed into another warship! The battle between the two sides had been going on for several days.
The clouds had long been torn to shreds by the high-speed passages, and above the sky, dark golden streams of light and metallic tail flames flashed and intertwined, stretching across the sky of the plane.
Jemin's figure kept flashing between these cracks.
The combination of the Tai Xu Step and the light speed movement of the Light God Transformation allowed him to avoid being truly trapped even when surrounded and intercepted by more than fifty level seven octopus-men.
But he was truly in a sorry state: the Guixu Armor had been destroyed countless times, and the edges of his robes had been slashed by several spatial cuts that grazed past him, leaving long, thin tears. The runes at the tears were gently swirling in the wind.
Fortunately, after reaching the Dao Integration Realm, his control over the Light God Transformation state improved significantly.
Even when moving at the speed of light, it can still turn nimbly.
Under the laws of physics, no attack can catch up with such agile, light-speed-moving target.
No matter how dense or fierce the octopus-men's firepower surrounded him, they could only manage to glancing at him occasionally during his dodges, causing no real damage whatsoever. Meanwhile, Jemin wasn't idle while fleeing for his life.
The corpse of a level-six octopus-man that he had casually retrieved was being repeatedly scanned by the Eye of All Use and the True Deception-Breaking Pupil, trying to extract as much useful information as possible.
From the epidermal tissue to the internal organ structure, from the signal transmission mode of nerve synapses to the energy circuit layout inside the armor, all data is synchronously entered into the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror, rapidly constructing a complete physiological and equipment model of the octopus man deep within the spiritual sea.
The analysis results came out quickly.
The octopus-men's armor energy frequency band, shield modulation cycle, physiological response characteristics of the nervous system... even the bioelectric signals that their tentacles instinctively tense up when they are nervous are all precisely labeled.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jemin directly connected this data to the Five Elements Rainbow Mirror, using the spirituality of his natal magic weapon to conduct tactical deductions. Based on the optimal solution automatically generated by his Entropy Brain talent, he then began to deduce two entirely new sets of targeted sorcery.
The first set is used to lock the energy frequency band of the armor.
If the frequency bands of elemental fluctuations are precisely aligned, the octopus armor's shield and energy coating can be rendered ineffective simultaneously.
The second system is used to target the octopus-men's nervous system, triggering physiological aversion and discomfort based on their physiological characteristics. Jemin doesn't expect this magic to kill them; simply inducing their bodies to instinctively reject it is enough.
The underlying rune structure of the two spells was quickly completed within the mind's sea.
In that instant, Jemin abruptly stopped his escape.
He shattered the clouds beneath his feet, and the swirling white mist exploded in all directions. He suddenly turned around and faced the more than fifty level-seven octopus-men that were hot on his heels.
The pursuing octopus-men were clearly taken aback for a moment, but that was all.
The next instant, all the attacks poured down on him at the same time.
Jemin raised his hand.
The first spell he had just created spread outward from him, forming a nearly silent spherical ripple.
When that seemingly ordinary energy wave swept across the battlefield, the coating on the octopus-men's armor rapidly faded and peeled off as if it had been splashed with sulfuric acid. The shield generators emitted sharp overload alarms one after another before simultaneously shutting down.
Even the energy weapons hanging from their waists disintegrated automatically amidst the fluctuations, their parts crashing to the ground with a series of crackling sounds.
More than fifty octopus-men simultaneously looked down at their crumbling armor, their tentacles frozen in mid-air.
But this is just the beginning.
The second spell was cast immediately afterward.
It was also a spherical, diffused energy fluctuation, but it had no visible light effects and was even eerily quiet.
The wave penetrated the octopus-men's bodies, precisely targeting their nervous system.
The next moment, an uncontrollable feeling of disgust and discomfort surged wildly from every nerve ending.
It was a purely physiological rejection reaction... just like how humans feel uncomfortable when they hear the high-frequency sound of scratching a blackboard.
Some of the lower-ranking octopus-men simultaneously lost focus, their bodies, now unprotected by their armor, instinctively curled up in mid-air, their tentacles drooping limply.
