Soon, another round of firing commenced after Komodo"s orders.The s.p.a.ce carriers combined were over 2,000 kilometers long. The sight of all the main cannons firing off at once was far more majestic than everyone"s imaginations.
The main cannons emitted blinding lights as if there were 300 suns in s.p.a.ce. All 300 terrifying light beams shot directly at the advancing Golden Emperor Beetle.
"d.a.m.n." Hong Dali gritted his teeth as he took on the attacks.
He already transformed into the Star Knight once. The previous time cost him 60 Health points, and he only had over 150 points left now. Obviously, 70 Health points would be required for his next transformation.
In other words, he only had one transformation into Star Knight left.
If they could not destroy the enemy this time, and he was forced to transform… he would have nothing left to deal with the crisis later on.
"Brothers, let"s go!" Hong Dali"s eyes turned red. Behind him was the New Earth. His family, friends, schoolmates, and everyone else he had to protect were all there.
This time, everyone gave it their all. They charged straight into the enemy fleet.
"Kill!" Close contact had been made. This was the true close-quarter combat. The number of enemies they could take out depended on this round of attack!
"Heavy Gravity!" Levis was the first to crash into the fleet. He did not hesitate and used his ability right away.
His Heavy Gravity before the fusion with the King Zerg could compress a small-sized s.p.a.cecraft. Now that he became a True King Zerg, things were completely different. The s.p.a.ce carrier that was slapped by the True King Zerg"s claws instantly turned into a piece of sc.r.a.p metal less than 500 meters in diameter!
Not even an explosion could compare to the impact of such a strong Heavy Gravity.
"You dare to bully my dad!" Little Bai Hechou was the second to strike. He used all his strength in this attack. Instantly, a huge planet appeared in front of him.
This planet was Hong Dali"s gift to him—the System rewarded Hong Dali with a Diamond planet over 100 kilometers in diameter before. Now was the time to produce a higher-level exploding star—diamond exploding star!
Boom—!!!
The entire s.p.a.ce trembled. Little Bai Hechou"s diamond exploding star instantly engulfed over a dozen Fifth-Order Stellar-level s.p.a.ce carriers. The ma.s.sive energy from the explosion instantly decimated the s.p.a.ce carriers—one of the most terrifying things in the universe was having a damaged s.p.a.ce carrier body. Air would rapidly leak out, and even humans would be sucked out of the s.p.a.ce carrier.
Little Bai Hechou"s exploding star was made out of the toughest diamond shrapnel this time. This impact directly penetrated the outer sh.e.l.l of the s.p.a.ce carriers and caused instant air leaks. In the blink of an eye, the dozen s.p.a.ce carriers lost their ability to fight.
Once everyone started their attacks, it was as if a group of tigers rushed into a herd of sheep. The True King Zergs were indeed extremely strong. The Fifth-Order Stellar-level s.p.a.ce carriers were st.u.r.dy and their main cannons were powerful. However, there was nothing they could do to stop the True King Zergs.
It was as if a normal warrior fought against an ability user. It would be unfair in every way.
"Those who oppose the Young Master will be taken to task!" Li Yang was the most domineering one. His Blood Soul Stone did not seem special previously. However, it was fully utilized now. The True King Zerg fused with him viciously slammed down on a s.p.a.ce carrier. Although the outer body of the s.p.a.ce carrier remained undamaged, everyone inside instantly died from a reversal of their blood flow direction.
Without the humans to pilot it, the s.p.a.ce carrier instantly came to a halt.
"Eh? This ability is good!" Li Yang felt the flow of blood inside the s.p.a.ce carrier. He was incredibly excited. Soon, he aimed at another s.p.a.ce carrier. "Hehe, you"re mine!" Another attack!
The battle grew increasingly intense. None of Hong Dali"s lackeys were simple. Unfortunately, the enemies just had too many s.p.a.ce carriers. Once they started fighting, the ones behind were responsible for holding them back, whereas the ones in front rapidly flew off while firing in their direction.
Once the s.p.a.ce carriers got far away…
"Oh no!" A strong sense of crisis filled Hong Dali"s heart. He instantly yelled, "Everyone, gather around. Quick!"
Hong Dali"s orders were like the imperial decree. Once they heard him, n.o.body hesitated and gathered around. Expectedly, once everyone gathered together, the dozen of s.p.a.ce carriers around instantly emitted blindingly bright lights.
"Boom—" The entire s.p.a.ce trembled. Small bright dots first appeared inside the dozen of s.p.a.ce carriers. Then, they rapidly grew in size. Then, they self-destructed together!
Fifth-Order Stellar-level s.p.a.ce carriers were over 2,000 kilometers in length. The explosion impact of self-destruction from such a huge thing would be devastating, similar to dozens of mini-suns. It would be visible even from the surface of the Earth. The terrifying power instantly destroyed over forty King Zergs. As for the ordinary Zergs that followed behind, billions of them evaporated entirely without a trace.
Ka ka ka…
After the s.p.a.ce carriers blew themselves up, a giant ice ball in s.p.a.ce was melting. Inside the ice ball was a rock layer tens of kilometers in thickness. The rock layer rapidly crumbled and turned into dust too.
There was a thick layer of metal below the rock layer. It was made out of the decks of the destroyed s.p.a.ce carriers.
Tang Muxin"s ability to freeze things, combined with Lin Chuyin"s ability to form rocks, combined with Li Nianwei"s ability to control metal. The three abilities together finally negated the impact of the explosion.
However, even so, everyone still suffered some injuries. Some were severe, and some were just superficial.
No matter what though, they destroyed around seventy Fifth-Order Stellar-level s.p.a.ce carriers. However, they also lost over forty King Zergs and billions of ordinary Zergs. Both sides suffered great losses.
"d.a.m.n it." Hong Dali furiously wiped the corner of his mouth as he stared at the retreating enemy fleet. "The High n.o.bles" fleet is indeed powerful. Even with our current strength, we still only barely came to a draw with them."
In the past, High n.o.bles to him were nothing more than a stature. However, their strength was finally revealed to him today.
"Dali, what do we do next?" Tang Muxin asked quietly, "Do we give chase? Or do we go back first?"
"Go back and think of something first!" Hong Dali gritted his teeth. "We won"t have too much of an advantage if we clash with them now."
The first encounter turned into this outcome. Although it was a small victory, as they only lost forty King Zergs as compared to over seventy s.p.a.ce carriers for the enemy, tougher days were surely ahead.
After all, they had 300 s.p.a.ce carriers. After seventy were destroyed, they still had 230. If their backup arrived, things would not be optimistic for Earth"s side.
Of course, this was all just a relative view. For the normal humans on Earth, Hong Dali was no longer the public enemy. He returned to a G.o.d-like stature and was even more revered by humans now than ever before!
In the streets and alleys, in the bars and restaurants, in the living room and the bedroom, people everywhere were discussing about this s.p.a.ce war—
"Hahaha, Young Master is indeed amazing! I didn"t expect this at all. I thought I was dead for sure this time. Yet, in the end, haha!"
"Right? The Young Master"s one attack directly took out seventy s.p.a.ce carriers. Seventy! Haha, what a livestream!"
"Eh, it can"t get any better than that. None of the sci-fi blockbusters I"ve watched in the past can compare to the thrill of watching that!"
No wonder everyone on Earth was discussing about the huge victory. The main reason was that Komodo kept a live broadcast of his fleet"s movement. His original intention was to cause ma.s.s panic amongst the humans on Earth so that Hong Dali and his close ones would be driven crazy and surrender without a fight.
However, they forgot to turn off the live broadcast once the battle began…
Hence, this scene was shown—the High n.o.bles" fleet suffered utter defeat under the hands of the Zergs led by Hong Dali. They lost over seventy s.p.a.ce carriers and hastily escaped into outer s.p.a.ce…
Everyone thought that they would be dead for sure this time. n.o.body expected such a sudden and huge victory. Who would not go crazy at this moment?!
On the television, all the TV stations were announcing the same report—
"Latest update: Young Master Hong Dali successfully led the Justice League of Earth in warding off the alien invaders. They destroyed over seventy enemy s.p.a.ce carriers and caused them to retreat in panic. This is the biggest victory since our migration to the New Earth. This victory will surely be doc.u.mented in the history books."
"Young Master is formidable. Young Master is dominating! The alien invaders were arrogant, but they have been defeated by the Young Master! This is a victory for the entire mankind on Earth. This is a new chapter for us in the universe! In this moment, the Young Master is possessed by Buddha, Jesus, and all G.o.ds. He is not battling alone. He is not alone!"
…
Originally, Zheng Xiaokai thought that there was no escape from death this time. He even gathered his entire family to await death together. Maybe the process would be quick. One combined main cannon blast from the s.p.a.ce carrier fleet would decimate the New Earth.
The entire process might not even last a single second before it ended.
However, n.o.body expected that, at the point of desperation, Young Master Hong Dali accomplished such a feat!
Huge victory. This was a legitimate huge victory! Such a battle would surely be remembered for eternity!
"Hahaha! Good. Good!" Zheng Xiaokai slapped his thighs continuously as he watched the battle scenes from the holographic projection. "Screw them all. Screw them hard. Haha!"
His wife leaned closely against him. Tears were seen in her eyes as she mumbled, "Young Master, you are indeed our best hope…"
