Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 703: No More Trump Cards

An object like the iron sphere was something Xiao Yu could not tolerate. As long as the iron sphere existed, the Micron corpse would have to keep fleeing. In this way, the Micron corpse would be severely constrained. For the sake of the overall situation of the war, Xiao Yu had to eliminate the iron sphere as quickly as possible.

Xiao Yu’s countermeasure was to draw out more than one hundred Planet-Class warships to jointly unleash a space shattering attack. These more than one hundred Planet-Class warships would occupy more than one hundred points around the iron sphere, then activate their instruments simultaneously. The resulting space shattering attack area would envelop the entire iron sphere and all warships within the region, whether Xiao Yu’s or the Guardian Civilization’s.

This was the most powerful attack Xiao Yu could launch at this stage. He did not care whether his own ships would be affected. He cared only whether he could destroy the Guardian Civilization’s ships.

Almost the instant these more than one hundred Planet-Class warships charged out, the Guardian ships followed. After tangling with Xiao Yu for so long, how could the Guardians not understand his plan? They were unwilling to endure such a large-area space shattering attack, and these warships had come to stop Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu’s fleets also immediately joined the fray. Thus two battles unfolded around the iron sphere, first, Xiao Yu’s fleet attempted to attack the iron sphere while the Guardians defended; second, Xiao Yu’s Planet-Class warships tried to occupy their designated positions while the Guardians tried to prevent them.

But the Guardians’ actions lacked strength. Xiao Yu knew this was because the Guardians had suffered losses that were too severe. Their manpower and ships were beginning to be stretched thin. From the start of the war up to now, Xiao Yu had lost roughly six hundred million warships, while the Guardians had lost only a mere seventy million ships. Yet the loss of six hundred million ships was something Xiao Yu could bear, while the Guardians could not bear the loss of seventy million.

This was especially evident now that both the Radiance and the Python Alien Beast were severely damaged.

The more than one hundred Planet-Class warships roamed ferociously like big fish in a pond, while the Guardian Civilization could only muster about five Planet-Class warships to oppose them. The disparity in strength was simply too great. In less than half an hour, the Guardians’ fleets were completely pinned down by Xiao Yu. Taking advantage of this opening, the more than one hundred Planet-Class warships quickly reached their designated positions and, without the slightest hesitation, unleashed the space shattering attack.

Although the space around the iron sphere had been reinforced by the Guardians’ space reinforcement instruments, even so, a space shattering attack jointly launched by more than one hundred Planet-Class warships was not to be taken lightly. Almost in an instant, crisscrossing spatial fissures completely blanketed this region, striking indiscriminately at all things within it. Whether the iron sphere, Xiao Yu’s ships, or the Guardian Civilization’s ships, all were within the kill zone.

It was as if an irregular black polyhedron suddenly appeared in the void. This irregular black polyhedron was still moving quickly. That was the iron sphere moving rapidly, trying to escape the influence of the space shattering attack. Xiao Yu’s more than one hundred Planet-Class warships, however, maintained a state of relative rest with it, keeping it firmly covered within the attack range.

The green light on the iron sphere grew ever brighter, like a lamp in boundless night that never went out despite the wind and rain. Compared with the iron sphere, the warships’ defenses were far inferior. Whether Xiao Yu’s ships or the Guardians’ ships, under the ferocious space shattering attack, each struggled to cope, with ships exploding and collapsing in quick succession.

Blanketed by spatial rifts, the Guardian ships still tried to flee or attack Xiao Yu’s Planet-Class warships outside the region. Xiao Yu’s ships, however, were much more straightforward. They not only refused to flee, but in such circumstances even abandoned all their own defenses to launch ferocious suicide attacks on the Guardians’ ships. These suicide attacks were highly efficient. Basically, one ship’s suicide attack could destroy one Guardian ship of the same class.

“One for one. That is quite a profitable trade.” Xiao Yu calculated inwardly.

Ships were a small matter. The iron sphere was the big matter. During this time, the Micron corpse had been fleeing for its life and had no spare time to attack the enemy. Although the Micron corpse could at any time exit this small universe to avoid the iron sphere’s pursuit, the sphere had no ability to leave the Guardian’s small universe, or rather, even if it could leave, its performance would plummet to a terrifying degree once outside the special environment built for it by the Guardians, leaving it completely unable to threaten the Micron corpse, the Micron corpse did not do so. The iron sphere remained the greatest threat to Xiao Yu. As long as he intended to invade the Guardian’s small universe, the iron sphere had to be dealt with. Given the current situation, it was most appropriate to finish off the sphere in one go.

Yet under Xiao Yu’s space shattering attack, the iron sphere displayed an extremely formidable defense. The attack had continued for over ten minutes. The warships within the attack range had been nearly wiped out, yet the iron sphere still held firm.

“So be it.” Xiao Yu thought for a moment, then decisively drew over another one hundred Planet-Class warships, even pulling the Tianyuan IV Star-Class warship into the operation. The redeployment of a large number of flagship-class warships immediately increased the pressure Xiao Yu faced on the main battlefield severalfold, and the rate at which his ships were destroyed rose again. But Xiao Yu could not afford to care. The ships thus redeployed quickly reached their designated positions and together activated the space shattering weapons with which they were equipped.

A single Star-Class warship could at least equal several hundred Planet-Class warships. With the addition of the Tianyuan IV Star-Class warship and the newly redeployed one hundred Planet-Class ships, the pressure on the iron sphere increased at once. Xiao Yu saw that within the space shattering attack range, the sphere’s shield had begun to flicker.

The scene resembled a candle flame wavering inside a thatched hut on a rainy night deep in the mountains.

Endless spatial fissures sliced back and forth across the iron sphere, yet it did not attempt to flee into the small universe’s stellar ring. Most of the Guardian Civilization’s military strength had already come out to confront Xiao Yu. The defenses within the stellar ring were no longer strong. Fleeing there would not bring greater help and might instead affect the civilians living within the stellar ring. The Guardians would not do something so foolish.

The iron sphere was like a ferocious tiger, but no matter how fierce the tiger, it could not break out of the cage that confined it. Under the savage cutting of spatial fissures, all of a sudden a large chunk of material was sliced from the iron sphere. Having lost the protection of its defense system, it was instantly cut down to the most minute fundamental particles by the endless slicing.

This scene was almost identical to when the Micron corpse had just entered the small universe, was besieged by black lightning, and ultimately lost a piece of material.

The removal of this chunk was only the beginning. After that, it was like peeling the skin of a radish. Material was continuously separated from the iron sphere. Although each cut removed only a relatively small amount, the sphere could not endure such endless slicing. After just five minutes, Xiao Yu made a rough estimate and concluded that in this period he had cut away an amount of mass equivalent to five Earths from the sphere. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

At this rate, the destruction of the iron sphere by Xiao Yu was only a matter of time. Once the sphere was destroyed, the threat to the Micron corpse would vanish, and it could display its might throughout the small universe. The Guardian Civilization would have nothing that could resist the Micron corpse. At that time, it would undoubtedly be the Guardians’ doomsday.

Xiao Yu waited for the Guardians to reveal yet another trump card like holographic defense technology, black lightning, or the iron sphere. Unfortunately, they produced nothing new. Instead, the heavily damaged Radiance and the Python Alien Beast emerged.

The Radiance still bore the two huge holes rammed through by the Micron corpse, and the Python Alien Beast was in the same condition. Obviously neither had recovered. Yet they still took to the field. Aside from the explanation that the Guardians had reached the end of their rope, exhausted and out of cards to play, Xiao Yu could find no other reason.

“So you have no more trump cards? But as for me, I have not even used the Sphere of Death.” Xiao Yu murmured. “At this point, bringing out a damaged Radiance and a severely injured Python Alien Beast, what use could that possibly be?”

From the start of the war until now, the Guardians had repeatedly changed Xiao Yu’s perception, repeatedly surprised him, revealing one trump card after another, fully demonstrating their strength. But regrettably, they still were not Xiao Yu’s match. After unending confrontation, at last they had nothing new to bring forth. With nothing to change the current situation, destruction was inevitable.

The Radiance and the Python Alien Beast quickly joined the encirclement of those ships that were unleashing space shattering weapons. It was obvious the Guardians were trying to stop Xiao Yu from destroying the iron sphere. They knew very well that if the iron sphere were destroyed, their civilization would be completely finished, with no hope remaining.
