Chapter 755 Battlefield
Chapter 755 Battlefield
The octopus-man leader stood before the flagship's command post, his whiskers taut, his face turning from ashen to a grim hue. He stared intently at the newly unfolding golden figure on the screen, finally realizing that from beginning to end, he had been treated like a monkey in a play.
Now, the trump card of the plane's original self-destruction has been rendered useless.
The enemy, however, stood unharmed in the very center of his fleet.
The octopus-man leader slammed his hand on the ground in a command.
The metal surface emitted a piercing thud, and he actually managed to crack it by slapping it.
"Rethink the battle plan!" His voice was hoarse and urgent, as if forced out from the depths of his throat. "All combat units, listen up! Abandon ranged fire suppression, advance! Engage the enemy at close range!"
The order was quickly transmitted across the entire fleet's communication channels.
The next instant, the hatches of the warships opened simultaneously.
Tens of thousands of octopus-man fighters swarmed out, like a swarm of metal locusts erupting from a steel nest.
After disembarking from the warship, the energy coating on their bodies reflected a cold, hard luster under the pale purple light. The nozzles of their armor continuously spewed out tail flames, propelling them to change direction at high speed in the air and tighten their formation.
Each combat team maintained a standard assault formation.
Tens of thousands of level-six octopus-men and hundreds of level-seven octopus-men charged straight at Jeming's Dharma Image like an enraged swarm of bees. Jeming stood in the very center of the Dharma Image's chest, taking in all the information of the entire battlefield.
These octopus-like beings were significantly more agile than the warships, with smoother movements and weapon interfaces on their armor activating almost simultaneously. This suggests that warship firepower wasn't their true forte in combat; their original civilization was likely more suited to individual warfare. These warships were probably equipped with technology provided by a multi-race alliance, serving as standard equipment.
What they can truly trust is their own armor and their own bodies.
This also means that the two sides are now really going to get serious.
Without further hesitation, Jemin raised his hand and his inner space suddenly opened.
The next moment, a mass of azure gelatinous body surged out from the crack in the cave, like a giant deep-sea wave suddenly churning.
The body had now swelled to a size larger than Jupiter. As soon as it appeared, all the detectors in the octopus-man fleet simultaneously issued a series of alarms exceeding their measurement limits.
The enormous body of the nest slowly unfolded in the void, its blue gelatinous surface rippling in layers. Then, with a nimble movement completely disproportionate to its size, it positioned itself between Jemin and the onrushing octopus-men battle group.
At the same time, countless silver-white teleportation lights lit up beside Jemin.
He maximized the role of the internal inner world in the interdimensional war.
There is no need for temporary mobilization of legions from the Infernal Sulfur Plane, nor is it necessary to build cross-dimensional teleportation arrays in advance.
As long as the troops are teleported into the body's inner sanctum in the Purgatory Sulfur Plane to await orders, and then released directly at the most opportune moment, a true divine descent can be accomplished.
The legion of black giants marched out in formation from the teleportation beam.
As soon as they appeared, the vertical openings in their chests opened simultaneously, emitting a series of deep and heavy war roars, like warhammers striking the void.
At the very front were all level six black giants.
Over the years, Jemin has completely restructured the Black Giants' equipment system.
Each elite black giant is equipped with rune artifacts that can unleash the Void Armor and the Extinction Light of Blazing Fire.
Although limited by production capacity, each elite black giant can only be equipped with one set of magical artifacts, but for them, this is enough to directly elevate their combat power to a whole new level.
The octopus-men's vanguard had already rushed close.
A level seven octopus warrior at the forefront clasped his hands together in front of him, and the energy conduits on his armor arm simultaneously lit up with a dazzling blue light. A shockwave condensed with extremely high-density energy slammed straight into the chest of the nearest level six black giant.
A pale golden ripple spread across the liquid metal on the surface of the black giant's body. The energy stability field of the Returning Void Armor instantly unfolded, absorbing and converting most of the energy in the shockwave.
The next moment, he raised his right arm.
The Fire Extinction Divine Light emitter on the arm armor lit up with a dark golden light, and a beam of light compressed to the extreme shot out, instantly piercing through the armor shield of the level 7 octopus man, blasting a hole through his right shoulder.
More black giants opened fire simultaneously.
Hundreds of beams of divine light, representing the annihilation of fire, intertwined in the sky above the battlefield, forming a dark golden fire net that tore a huge gap in the octopus-men's charging formation.
A heavy warship attempting to flank and provide support was simultaneously pierced by over a dozen beams of Fiery Annihilation Light before it even reached the edge of the battlefield. A series of explosions erupted inside the ship, which snapped in two mid-air, plummeting into the depths of space in a trail of flames. The octopus-man fleet hastily activated its protective force field.
However, the penetrating power of the Divine Light of Extinction at the sixth level was already terrifying to the extreme.
The energy barrier of the protective force field was easily torn apart like paper in front of the beam. After penetrating the force field, the beam continued to blast through the engine room of a frigate behind it.
The next instant, fragments of the warship scattered everywhere, and the flames from the exploding engines illuminated half of the battlefield.
On the front, the nest has been fully exposed.
Its azure gelatinous body resembled a living ocean, stretching outwards from the center of the battlefield, seemingly enveloping the entire sky of the plane.
Several level-seven octopus-men attempted to bypass the nest from the flank and attack Jemin directly.
But their attacks landed on the gelatinous surface of the nest without even causing a ripple.
As the nest continued to expand, it began to form a considerable gravitational field. The attacks not only failed to cause damage, but were instead directly absorbed and converted into its own mass.
The lair's defenses are almost insurmountable against these enemies.
The only downside is that its destructive power is indeed not strong enough.
When it was originally designed, it was a unit specializing in defense and survival.
It can absorb all attacks and stand in front of the enemy like an impenetrable wall, but to actively eliminate the enemy, it still has to rely on the Black Giant Legion to deal the final damage.
For a time, the battlefield was locked in a brief stalemate.
The nest cannot damage the opponent, and the opponent cannot damage the nest either.
The azure gelatinous ocean tugged back and forth in the void, and the battle lines trembled continuously in the stalemate.
Just then, several extremely terrifying auras suddenly erupted from the deepest part of the warship group.
Seeing the battle situation take a sharp turn for the worse, the level eight octopus-man who had been hiding finally couldn't sit still any longer.
Eight level-eight octopus-men, including the octopus-man leader, pounced simultaneously from different directions. Their armors rubbed against the air at high speed, creating a blazing white light as they locked onto Jemin's true location and launched an attack without hesitation.
But at that very moment, a layer of grayish-white light suddenly burst forth before them.
Viola had somehow appeared in front of Jemin.
Her long, silver-gray hair fluttered wildly in the turbulent energy currents stirred up by the solidified laws, her eyes were slightly narrowed, and the usual smile remained on her lips.
This time, however, the smile concealed danger.
"Oh, how about playing with me for a bit?" Viola touched the corner of her mouth with her finger, her aura rising higher and higher.
The level eight octopus people stopped almost simultaneously.
They stopped their momentum in mid-air in perfect unison, as if something invisible had instantly grabbed their nerves.
The grayish-white light of the Law of Pain flowed around Viola.
The light was not dazzling; in fact, it was quite quiet.
But when it landed on the octopus-men, every muscle in their bodies instinctively sounded an alarm, as if taking just one more step would plunge them into some unbearable abyss.
A level 6 creature stood in the way of eight level 8 creatures.
The scene above the battlefield froze for a strange moment.
