Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent
Chapter 559 - 404: Deploy the Space Cruise Ship! (Part 2)
Were it not for the breach made by the Devouring Demon Tree, with its enormous trunk blocking there, it’s likely the metallic layer of the isolation chamber would automatically restore to its unbroken state!
One can only marvel at the extraordinary technology created by aliens.
"It seems that if we want to study what’s inside this underground laboratory, we must first deal with this large tree."
The Energy Cannon on Wolf King has entered its cooldown period and requires at least twelve hours before it can be used again.
As for the other smaller energy cannons, against the Devouring Demon Tree they are as ineffective as a scratch.
"Boss, why don’t you take out the Spacecraft?"
Back in the Digital Monster World, Grey Wolf spent almost a year modifying this Sky Ship.
Its foundation makes it vastly more powerful than Wolf King.
Mo Qingchen remained silent for a moment, then glanced at Wang Xiao’Er and nodded.
"Alright, we now have the ability to protect ourselves, so taking out this thing isn’t much of a risk, except this ship is so enormous that it’s difficult to dock."
Before its modification, Wolf King was merely a Magnetic Levitation Super Truck, with a carrying capacity of only ten thousand tons and limited to near-ground flight.
While before modification, the Space Cruise Ship was a true Spaceship, capable of traveling through space, with a carrying capacity that reached hundreds of tons.
Bringing out this ship poses dock issues and also attracts a lot of attention.
For Mo Qingchen and the others, who had been developing quietly before, it was too conspicuous.
However, now, there are not many Blue Star humans who have entered the Civilization’s Wound Secret Realm, nor are there others coming to Red Mist City.
Hence there is no fear of exposure, and once this thing is brought out, its function is also enormous.
The ship’s various weapons can cause a terrifying amount of destruction, perfect for wiping out the powerful Exotic Beast monsters in Red Mist City.
"Wolf King, ascend to a kilometer in height."
Having agreed, Mo Qingchen wasted no time further and directly commanded Wolf King.
Upon receiving the command, Wolf King immediately hovered and ascended into the sky at an incredibly fast speed.
Once it reached a kilometer high, Mo Qingchen used Telekinesis to fly out of the cockpit into the open air.
With Spiritual Power communicating with the Abyss Pattern on his forehead, in an instant, a gigantic object appeared out of thin air and hovered above Wolf King.
Then, the ship’s bottom opened a large hatch on both sides, projecting a light blue screen that enveloped the entire Wolf King.
The next moment, a gentle suction pulled Wolf King into the interior of the ship.
"Wolf King, directly link to the main control system of the Spacecraft and assume master control."
Grey Wolf’s voice sounded, as his wolf claws transformed into a blur of shadow, executing various operations on the light display.
"Linking to ship’s main control system...
Acquiring ship control authority...
Activating modules of the Spacecraft...
Unsealing propulsion system, unsealing weapon system, unsealing defense system, unsealing energy system..."
Along with Wolf King’s announcements, the entire ship’s virtual graphic displayed on the light screen.
Each ship module entered activation after taking control.
The entire ship was under Grey Wolf’s total control in less than five seconds.
"Activate weapon modules, enable the underside deck weapons, lock on target below at Devouring Demon Tree, charge and fire!"
Since the Devouring Demon Tree has strong defenses and massive energy reserves, the plan is to deplete its energy until it’s spent!
Thus, bombard it!
Several colossal cannons extended from the ship’s belly deck and, within just a second of charging, began bombarding the massive tree below.
If previously the most powerful overloaded shot from Wolf King required a full minute to charge, these cannons, similar in power to Wolf King’s strongest shot, could charge in nearly a second.
Almost instantaneously, energy beams rained down from a kilometer high.
Ah energy C***ade of energy pillars bombarded, instantaneously destroying the root barriers formed by the Devouring Demon Tree.
As for its constructed Energy Shield, it crumbled like paper upon contact.
Likewise, its Spiritual Power Shield was shattered destructively into bits.
Though the tough tree trunk endured the continual assaults from the multiple energy beams, it was bent down to the ground.
Yet, it did not cause massive damage to the trunk; instead, a tremendous energy began emanating from within, engaging in an energy depletion contest with the attacking energy beams.
Simultaneously, various detection devices on the ship activated, monitoring every move of the Devouring Demon Tree from all angles.
The tree trunk was bent, but it never gave up on struggling.
Also noted was that the heads hanging from the tree crown were slowly melting, transforming into streams of pure energy, absorbed by the tree to fend off external damage.
While the constant energy output continued and kept diminishing the Devouring Demon Tree, how could it possibly match the Spacecraft in terms of energy consumption?
Remember, the Super Energy Fission Reactor formula acquired in the Digital Monster World, was crafted by Grey Wolf!
And such super energy cores were installed five times on the Spacecraft!
Not only could one satisfy the ship’s normal consumption, but even deploying weapon modules allows the entire suite of weapons to operate simultaneously, enabling attack for twenty-four hours without any issue.
A twenty-four-hour full-force attack would only exhaust 1% of the core’s energy! 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Time continued slipping away.
As the mutual energy drainage dragged on, the heads hanging from the Devouring Demon Tree’s crown began consuming energy rapidly.
Every head was transformed into pure energy, absorbed by the tree to resist the Spacecraft’s attack.
The surrounding area of the Devouring Demon Tree had become a massive pit due to the energy beams’ assault, with the entire tree violently pressed to the ground, with no room for resistance.
Nearby root systems were shattered, roasted, and burnt to ash under the monstrous energy beam attacks.
This energy output persisted for a full thirty minutes.
The entire ground seemed to be tilled by energy, forming a pit extending hundreds of meters square, with the bottom resembling glass due to high temperatures.
Only a silver tree trunk lay in the pit, with the hundreds of terrifying heads that used to hang from its crown now gone, leaving only bare branches.
The bald Devouring Demon Tree had fallen into a weakened state, with the surrounding roots obliterated, leaving only a blackened scorched trunk.
"Grey Wolf, are you sure we can fit this damn thing into the Space Ball? Remember, the Devouring Demon Tree is also considered an Exotic Beast."
This silver tree, excluding its roots, is merely over three hundred meters long.
The Space Ball that Mo Qingchen and his team had was more than enough with a thousand meters square of space to engulf their opponent.
Yet the creature is ultimately an Exotic Beast, whether it’s an enemy or not; the Space Ball’s spatial barrier isn’t robust enough to withstand attacks from a Super Tier Nine Exotic Beast!
"Rest assured, boss, this thing has depleted its internal energy entirely, and is in a weakened state. To recover, it requires absorbing large amounts of energy sources, while the Space Ball has none for it to absorb and restore."
The weakened Exotic Beast can’t muster full attack capabilities.
Moreover, the Devouring Demon Tree’s attack power isn’t very strong.
Its attacks are highly singular, relying constantly on its root assault.
Admittedly, it has Spiritual Shock, but such an attack can’t break through the spatial barrier within the Space Ball.
