A silver-white diamond-shaped barrier instantly appeared in front of the Merlotte. It was thicker, bigger, and brighter than the one Jiang Feng built.
On the other hand, there was a terrifying black and red ray of light that was streaking across the void toward the Merlotte.
The moment the two sides came into contact, the entire universe seemed to have stopped.
It was another conflict where neither side was willing to back down. But …
The spear, Ipnos' strongest attack, gradually began to dim after more than ten seconds of stalemate, while the shield, which shone with a silvery-white radiance, did not change much.
This scene made Ipnos, who was one AU away, and Aliya, who was even further away, stunned. Disbelief was written all over their faces.
For Ipnos, he had already seen this kind of defensive method more than a year ago.
Although he admitted that this defensive method of the humans was very powerful and could withstand his strongest attack when he was at the peak of rank 7, that was all it could do.
But now, compared to more than a year ago, he was a whole dimension stronger. Logically speaking, he should be able to tear through this defense easily, but why …
He couldn't tear through this defense, and the consumption of energy was even lower than when he was at the peak of rank 7?
This made Ipnos doubt his life.
Aliya, who was further away, was even more horrified.
Although she had previously relied on the Voidreavers to invade the Federation and obtained a lot of information and knew about the existence of the Netherworld Fleet, of course, she did not know the specific combat capabilities of the Netherworld Fleet. She only knew that there was such a fleet.
But now?
It was just a warship, yet it was able to fight head-on with Ipnos, who had already broken through the blockade of rank 8. And …
And it had a lot of advantages?
If the humans had sent this fleet back at the Vita Defense Line, what would he have done?
Fortunately, the Federation was on his side this time!
At the same time, on the main bridge of the Merlotte.
"15.7% of the Dark Energy Barrier's integrity is depleted. It seems that this guy is much stronger than I expected. He must have held back in the battle with Aliya!"
"So … this is your full strength?"
Looking at the terrifying ray of light that dissipated in the air, Lin Yu sighed.
In terms of individual strength, there was no doubt that Lin Yu was worlds apart from Ipnos, even if he relied on the Dark Energy Calculation Assistance Device.
However, with the help of the battleship DEAC, it was completely different. He could suppress Ipnos!
Of course, he could only suppress Ipnos. It was still impossible for Lin Yu to kill Ipnos with his current strength!
"Commander, the rest of the fleet will arrive in three minutes. Ipnos' position is still too dangerous. We have to drive him away!"
Bai Xuan, who was standing behind Lin Yu, saw that her commander had blocked the opponent's terrifying attack and stopped operating. She leaned over and whispered in his ear.
Just as Bai Xuan said, Ipnos was only 1AU away from the cosmic ocean current node, and according to Aliya's information, Ipnos' attack range could reach 2AU.
Ipnos Ipnos's current position was a threat to the Federation fleet.
After all, Lin Yu could block its attack, but the others could not, and Lin Yu could not protect all the fleets at the same time.
Therefore, before the fleet arrived, something had to be done!
"Got it. Let's use that move to scare it. Let's see if it can scare it away!"
"Battleship DEAC operating at maximum efficiency … Multiple mirrors beginning construction!"
One by one, the diamond-shaped mirrors began to form in front of the battleship. Each one was bigger than the previous one, and it was incomparably beautiful. It was like a magician constructing multiple magic circles.
"Seven layers of mirrors completed. Dark Energy Particle Compression Stream … Illumination begins!"
In an instant, the madly operating DEAC began to release the Dark Energy that it had accumulated to the point that it was about to explode. It rushed madly toward the first layer of mirrors in front of the battleship.
Layer after layer, the massive Dark Energy was compressed by Lin Yu's diamond-shaped mirrors. After a total of six diamond-shaped mirrors, the Dark Energy had been compressed to the extreme. The terrifying energy that could destroy the world made the scalps of all the creatures in Chelsnes tingle.
Finally, the Dark Energy that had been compressed to the point where it could no longer be compressed was sent into the final diamond-shaped mirror constructed by Lin Yu. This final mirror had a completely different function from the previous six.
If the first six mirrors were used to compress, then the last mirror's function was to shape.
Of course, this shape was not shaping the appearance, but the form, the form of the Dark Energy!
The next moment, a silver-white ray burst out from the seventh mirror. It ignored the effect of time and swept directly toward Ipnos at 10,000 times the speed of light.
A distance of 1 AU, at 10,000 times the speed of light, only took half a second. If Ipnos had not been vigilant and prepared its defenses, it would not even have had the time to react.
The scarlet energy formed a circle and protected Ipnos within it. It once again clashed with the silver-white ray of light …
However, this time, the attacker and the defender had swapped sides, and the result was very different from the previous time.
After a stalemate of less than three seconds, the defensive wall that Ipnos had opened collapsed. Without any obstruction, the spear quickly moved forward and directly bombarded Ipnos' wings.
Yes, at the beginning of the battle between the spear and the shield, Ipnos had already felt that its defensive wall could not completely block the attack. Therefore, it immediately used the pair of dragon wings on its back to form a second line of defense in front of itself. At the same time, it urged all the energy in its body to be transferred to the wings.
It was almost … using its physical body to directly resist the attack!
However, one had to admit that the physical body of a Grade 8 divine creature was indeed very strong.
After ten seconds, the energy of the compressed Dark Energy Particle Stream was exhausted, but Ipnos' huge body was still intact.
Yes, it had finally blocked the attack, but its condition was not good either …
His wings had already become tattered, with holes all over them. His body had also been struck by the attacks that had penetrated his wings, causing terrifying wounds to appear one after another. Purplish blood flowed from all over his body.
However … just as Ipnos was severely injured, the bridge of the Herlous was not calm either!
"DEAC equipment damage rate 9.5%. Many parts cannot be repaired and can only be replaced!"
"Battleship power reduced, dark energy supply rate reduced to 41.2%!"
"Sub-light engine offline, emergency repair in progress!"
…
One bad news after another kept coming. Even Lin Yu, who had already expected this
powerful attack, could not help but frown.
The damage was greater than he had expected …
