I Really Didn't Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World-Chapter 845 - 507: 13 Hours Countdown_1

Chapter 845: Chapter 507: 13 Hours Countdown_1

Daniel Thompson’s shield lasted for thirteen seconds.

During those thirteen seconds, Harrison Clark managed to complete the last 3 million kilometers of the journey, successfully escaping the range of the gamma-ray burst and hovering fifty meters away from its predicted path.

His battle armor’s shield system had stopped issuing warnings, and his head was no longer in excruciating pain. He was safe.

On Harrison Clark’s battle armor arm was a long, semi-rigid rope.

The other end of the rope was a test instrument.

The instrument had come less than a meter away from the impact of the gamma-ray burst.

In just that short time, the instrument had already completed its analysis of the gamma-ray burst’s characteristics.

Next, they only needed to analyze the changes in the characteristics of the broken hole in the dome.

Harrison stared blankly ahead.

His quantum intelligence was also now ineffective, unable to offer any external informational support. He had to rely on his naked eyes to make judgments.

Due to the opening in the dome, the previously blue radiance had completely vanished.

The terrifying supercharged gamma-ray burst took the shape of a massive cylinder that emerged from a black hole in the distance, barely grazing him and heading straight towards the shadow of the Sun.

The gamma-ray burst had consolidated into a column with a diameter of 210 million kilometers, shaking the heart profoundly.

Although it appeared as if there was nothing when viewed with naked eyes, the light from the asteroid belt being distorted and contorted as it passed through the area was extremely transparent.

Furthermore, as long as the intensity of the gamma-ray burst persisted, the light entering it would be twisted and swirled, following the path of the burst towards the shadow of the Sun.

Harrison Clark quickly lost sight of the light from the battle zone, and the view in front of him gathered from the incoming light transformed into the prism ship’s shadow.

After a blink, the prism ship disappeared and was replaced by the distorted stars in the sky.

This proved the level of light warping was deepening.

The blade mantises that had previously been pursuing Harrison Clark had vanished from sight.

None of the blade mantises covered by the gamma-ray burst continued to pursue him.

Before he broke free, Harrison Clark had seen several blade mantises attempting to warp away, but the moment the warp space appeared, it triggered severe shockwaves in the triple space, tearing them to shreds.

At this moment, there was nothing within several kilometers of him. A few distant blade mantises no longer attempted to approach him using warp methods.

Although clearly situated in the center of the battlefield, the constantly changing situation granted him a rare moment of peace.

A universe, a galaxy, a 210-million-kilometer long cylinder of twisted space filled with terrifying energy, and one man.

Harrison turned around, gazing at the black object that had already lost all power and was drifting straight into the distance like a meteorite.

It was Daniel Thompson’s battle armor.

However, compared to the fame of other soldiers who had honed their skills in battle, Daniel Thompson had not even properly fought an enemy after achieving success.

This was his first expedition, but he ended it with the most tragic and silent death.

Only Harrison Clark knew what Daniel Thompson had done and accomplished such an unthinkable operation.

Warping.

In a chaotic space where Harrison didn’t dare to warp, Daniel Thompson forcibly initiated a warp and successfully jumped above Harrison’s head.

This operation was nothing short of a miracle.

Unfortunately, neither quantum nor traditional radio network signals could be transmitted at that time, so there was no way for Harrison to know or retrieve any video records of the miraculous operation performed by Daniel Thompson.

Daniel Thompson’s great achievements would only live in Harrison Clark’s memory.

Of course, it could also have been luck, one in a billion chance, and he had succeeded in the gamble.

After the brief period of stability, a few blade mantises finally adjusted and began to approach Harrison.

Compared to their normal state, the movements of the blade mantises now seemed much clumsier.

Without the assistance of the quantum network, the blade mantises could only rely on their autonomous intelligence.

It was clear that their autonomous intelligence was weak.

Harrison Clark twisted his neck inside the battle armor.

He too now only had manual mode; it was an opportunity to see whose strength would prevail when everyone was stripped bare.

As a matter of fact, Harrison Clark’s best fighting style was unassisted hand-to-hand combat.

He was 200% more skilled than the second strongest person in this timeline, but in manual mode, he could easily beat ten Needham Browns.

When a civilization possessed refined quantum communication capabilities, their reliance on super-quantum intelligence and massive zero-latency intelligent networks became extremely strong, even unconsciously.

This was an inevitability of technological civilization development.

The only exception would be for species in the Orion Arm with unique evolutionary development of utilizing their physical bodies to venture into the cosmos, where memory and personality became non-existent.

Only those who entered a completely dormant state of zero could complete cosmic voyages with their “physical bodies.”

At that time, such alien creatures would exist somewhere between a living and non-living state.For example, humans once discovered rock life, which, under the original human definition, was merely a highly magnetic ore with energy storage capabilities.

If Harrison Clark were born in today’s 31st century, he would surely be like others, spending most of his life learning how to better utilize the intelligent auxiliary equipment.

Fortunately, this was not the case. He was born in the late 20th century, where automation was far from being as advanced as it is in any timeline of the 31st century. His initial military training involved operating old-fashioned armored vehicles, much like operating excavators with high-intensity manual control.

His “old-school” nature was not just for show.

Harrison Clark took a deep breath, focused his attention, and began tapping his fingers in the mech’s cockpit.

He first detonated a large number of gravity bombs and a few black hole bombs around him, making the battlefield situation as complex as possible.

The conventional tactics that could only slightly delay the Blade Mantis’s attack in the past worked wonders this time.

Many Blade Mantis soldiers hadn’t even approached yet when they voluntarily crashed into the coverage area of the black hole bomb due to insufficient flight precision or had their defensive shields torn apart by violent space shocks.

However, seven Blade Mantis clumsily made it to the front.

Harrison Clark was tense for three seconds.

He worried that the Blade Mantis would become clever and know that the tester was the key.

For him to protect the tester from the siege of multiple Blade Mantis soldiers would not be easy.

Fortunately, the Blade Mantis lost the chance to receive new instructions after losing the quantum network.

Without a doubt, Harrison Clark’s threat level was now the highest.

Although humans could not directly understand the language of the Compound-Eyed Observer, one could simply imagine that the instruction these Blade Mantis had just received was, “Kill Harrison Clark at all costs.”

Since the enemy knew nothing but to target him blindly, Harrison Clark was somewhat relieved. He loosened the tester’s rope, turned around to face them, and tried to move the battlefield away from the tester to prevent accidents from happening.

Seconds later, both sides entered intense combat.

With the support of the New Folding Shadow Battle Armor, Harrison Clark’s strength was already greater than that of the Blade Mantis.

Now everyone had lost their intelligent assistance system, making the situation even more favorable for Harrison Clark.

For a moment, Harrison Clark was like a tiger among sheep, cutting them down with ease.

Although the Coronal Cannon’s lethality to the Blade Mantis decreased significantly, it still managed to suppress their actions to some extent.

With the loss of many intelligent assistance functions, Harrison Clark’s control over mid-range weapons weakened. He decided to focus most on maneuvering control and close combat, adopting a straightforward and brutal fighting style. Supported by the new Universal Cutting Blade, his attack power grew even stronger.

Meanwhile, in the high command, Nora Camp’s attention was not on Harrison Clark’s side.

Due to the threat of excessive gamma-ray bursts, Prism Ships were undergoing large-scale mobilizations, but the war did not cease due to the opponent’s reallocation of forces. Instead, the intensity of fire contact in other regions increased.

“Release intelligent smoke screens ahead of schedule in the First Warzone.”

“Deploy militia reserves in the Third Warzone.”

“Semi-automatic troops move from the Seventh Warzone to the Sixth.”

“Expand the 64 Spherical Fortress Array, approach the Asteroid Belt. Deploy all small combat units.”

Nora Camp was rapidly issuing large-scale war instructions.

Afterwards, she turned back and asked the scientific advisor behind her, “Are the calculation results out yet?”

The scientific advisor spoke gravely, “The preliminary determination is that the area of the Dome that was directly hit has been pierced through, but the rest of it is intact. Additionally, in ten hours, excessive gamma-ray bursts will penetrate our Stellar Rapid Development System and directly reach Shadow of the Sun. For over two years, we have been exploiting Shadow of the Sun to obtain more energy. The system has become very unstable.”

Nora Camp: “And then?”

“Shadow of the Sun will absorb over 80% of the gamma-ray burst energy within three hours. The total energy contained in the burst is 70% of what is obtained from Pathbreaking’s mass-energy conversion equation…”

Nora Camp: “Get to the point.”

“In thirteen hours, Shadow of the Sun will undergo a massive explosion. The oppressed energy from the gamma-ray burst will be instantly released, using the entire Shadow of the Sun as fuel and everything within the central explosion area as combustibles, triggering a chain reaction. The instantaneous intensity of the explosion will approach the big bang of the universe’s initial singularity and will be the strongest single explosion in the observable 46.5 billion light-year radius universe within 46.5 billion years. Everything within 200 billion kilometers diameter of the Shadow of the Sun Galaxy will be reduced to zero under the impact of the terrifying plasma flow and converted into cosmic entropy.”

Regret filled the scientific advisor’s face, “We overestimated the Solar Dome’s capabilities. We never thought that the Pathbreaking plan we made back then would become the last straw to break the camel’s back.”

He shrugged, “Of course, it might also be because we underestimated ourselves. The power of excessive gamma-ray bursts is greater than we imagined. Perhaps in the next timeline, we can design numerous gamma-ray burst traps near every black hole within the Orion Arm.”

Nora Camp nodded, “We’ll leave the matters of the next timeline to the next timeline. By the way, will the Prism Ships be destroyed as well?”

The advisor’s face stiffened, “We are still calculating that. I was referring to something else. Hold on. The results are out. The Prism Ships have to be within 150 million kilometers of Shadow of the Sun during the explosion for their hulls to be melted.”

“150 million kilometers, that’s tough and impossible to achieve. But it’s worth a try.”

Nora Camp quickly changed her strategy, shifting from expanding to contracting the formation, and the fleet began to approach the orbit of Shadow of the Earth.

The distance between Shadow of the Earth and the Sun was about 149.6 million kilometers.

“Do we want to contract the formation now? But Lord Sage is still at the forefront of the frontline for testing.”

As soon as Nora Camp’s new order was issued, someone immediately objected.

Under normal circumstances, others would faithfully execute her every order, but when it came to Harrison Clark, it was inevitable to have extra concerns.

Nora Camp hesitated for 0.1 seconds, “Lord Sage will find a way, contract the formation across the line.”

“Copy that!”

As this side’s orders were given out, the nearest optical monitoring device, 18 million kilometers away from Harrison Clark, finally sent back the footage captured 60 seconds ago.
