I Really Didn't Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World-Chapter 577 - 377: Chain of Schemes_1
Chapter 577: Chapter 377: Chain of Schemes_1
The best outcome for these fleets was to collide head-on with the spherical battleship, using their main bodies to hold back the spherical battleship.
The most unfortunate outcome would be to be swallowed up by black hole bombs or other means of the enemy during the process of converging and approaching.
In any case, all 13 billion newcomers to the battlefield were mentally prepared for mutual destruction.
The Different Paths, Same Destination plan changed the battlefield environment, and the three-minute deadlock time previously judged by Star was no longer accurate, managing to buy another minute.
Two minutes passed, and with one warship after another being either passively struck or actively rammed, the spherical battleship’s speed kept slowing down, gradually being suppressed to below one-sixth of the speed of light.
The Different Paths, Same Destination plan was declared a huge success.
Everything was within calculations.
The Colossus engine began to overload and output, driving at full force.
The Summit Colossus took the opportunity to complete a wide-ranging maneuver in space, circling around to its rear.
The left shoulder of the Colossus was pressed against the battle shield, and the battle stick in its right hand was extended forward.
The forty-eight long column giant cannons on its back fired in unison, and the chosen shells were ultra-heavy pure neutron projectiles.
What was needed was the counter-push force.
At the same time, Harrison Clark’s brainwave command was sent out.
“Neutron Armor!”
The huge surface of the Summit Colossus suddenly changed its color, emitting a silver glow.
It was pure silver as never before.
No light could penetrate it, and its reflectivity was almost 100%.
The neutron armor was formed, covering the surface of the colossus and the battle shield.
The spherical battleship first hit the battle stick in the hands of the Colossus.
The spherical battleship continued to close the distance between itself and the Summit Colossus, like a boulder rolling towards an ant.
The ant was extending its fragile legs to try and withstand the monstrous mass.
But how fragile were the ant’s legs, and how could they withstand the crushing of the boulders.
The battle stick shattered inch by inch like glass, emitting countless fragments.
Finally, the outer shell armor of the spherical battleship collided violently with the neutron battle shield!
At this time, Harrison Clark had already removed the compressed spatial structure layer covering the neutron battle shield and placed it singly in front of him.
If it were a normal spherical battleship, it could rely on a thin layer of curvature foam covering its surface to make perfect counter-inertia movements, and this collision would not happen.
But at this moment, the spherical battleship was being bombarded by countless human missiles and energy weapons, and the structure of the curvature foam was unstable, with the connection between the internal and external space never being interrupted.
The spherical battleship was not engaged in any genuine curvature movement at this time, but only a slightly higher level of quasi-curvature movement than human beings.
Therefore, this collision was inevitable.
The curvature foam on the surface of the spherical battleship clashed wildly with the neutron battle shield.
The battle shield shattered with a huge boom.
Then, the enemy ship’s curvature foam collided with the first layer of compressed spatial membrane structure outside of the Summit Colossus.
Two different spatial structures, one strong and one weak, collided with each other, creating violent spatial oscillations in an instant, erupting with terrifyingly high temperatures and energy particle shockwaves similar to those at the beginning of the universe.
Although Star had exhausted all its computing power trying to maintain the stability of the membrane structure, the first layer of membrane structure protection on the surface of the Summit Colossus still broke down in an instant.
An explosive eruption occurred, flames burst forth, like the collapse and explosion of a star.
Terrible energy and particle streams impacted the neutron armor, covering the front of the Summit Colossus with a layer of high-energy flames.
But this impact was not fatal.
The dense neutron armor could withstand it.
The spherical battleship continued to push forward, and during the process of pushing forward, collided with the neutron armor fragments that had remained in place due to inertia, with their dense structure and terrifying weight.
The original indestructible outer shell layer of the spherical battleship underwent subtle deformation, like a titanium alloy ball falling from a great height and hitting a diamond.
The spherical battleship’s advancement speed plummeted, dropping swiftly from nearly 50,000 kilometers per second to 20,000 kilometers per second but continued to approach the Summit Colossus.
The neutron armor on the front of the Colossus was torn apart again, cracking and emitting countless ultra-heavy fragments.
Harrison Clark tried to turn around and leave the back of his neutron armor in place.
But the first layer of spatial membrane structure was torn apart, breaking the quasi-curvature movement state, and no matter how strong the propulsion performance of the Summit Colossus was, it could not pull its massive back neutron armor.
The spherical battleship’s speed decreased again while pushing the neutron armor fragments in front, this time dropping directly from 20,000 kilometers per second to less than 5,000 kilometers per second.
This gave Harrison Clark time to react.
The Summit Colossus began to accelerate upwards.
In the blink of an eye, the colossus shot up nearly 20 kilometers.
Subsequently, the colossus performed a backward pole vault movement similar to that of a high jumper, crossing over from above the rear armor.
The spherical battleship continued to push forward, but Harrison Clark had basically escaped, avoiding a fate of being crushed into a pancake.
The quasi-curvature compressed membrane structure at the base of the colossus grazed against the curvature foam, causing another explosion, but the colossus’ quasi-curvature movement state was not broken.
Harrison Clark successfully escaped and left his back armor in place.
The Summit Colossus continued to accelerate and drifted towards the distance.
At the same time, the spherical battleship collided with the back armor that remained in place, decelerating once more from 5,000 km per second to just over 300 meters per second, just one mach!
All of this, while it seemed to take a long time, actually lasted less than five seconds.
In these five seconds, the blinding white light of the violent explosion almost blinded the eyes of the surrounding personnel.
But the white light quickly dissipated, and people saw the situation clearly.The cheering was deafening.
Harrison Clark stopped the Spherical Battleship!
Other battleships from behind continued to smash forward one after another!
At this moment, the Spherical Battleship almost came to a standstill!
Right at this moment, the long-waited Summit Fortress suddenly charged forth!
The 18,000-kilometer-diameter Summit Fortress had already opened a 3,500-kilometer-wide hole in advance, intending to swallow the Spherical Battleship whole!
The speed of the Summit Fortress at this moment was 30,000 kilometers per second!
The Spherical Battleship seemed to want to speed up and escape, but it was one step too late.
The Summit Fortress took a big “bite” and swallowed it up.
0.3 seconds later, the momentum of the fortress suddenly halted, almost coming to a standstill.
Due to the sudden deceleration, the gigantic Summit Fortress began to rapidly twist and deform.
Harrison Clark, who had just flown nearly 10,000 kilometers away, turned back, retreating further while looking back at the Summit Fortress.
His face was expressionless, neither happy nor sad.
Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum!
In his battlefield monitoring intelligence system, 3D projection simulations of the fortress and the spherical warship were simultaneously presented.
Immediately following that, three small black dots began to appear out of nowhere at the center of the fortress.
These dark black spheres spread out like ripples, spreading inward and outward.
The inward-spreading black ripples overlapped and enveloped the Spherical Battleship.
The outward-spreading part continued to extend along the Summit Fortress and extended to more than 2,000 kilometers outside its shell.
At its closest, the black ripples almost touched Harrison’s giant armor.
These were the first three Black Hole Bombs to detonate.
Humankind had made a total of nine Black Hole Bombs.
Four on the escape fleet side, Chen Feng, and Needham Brown used up two just now, leaving three remaining, all of which were now consumed.
The black space came quickly and retreated quickly, contracting rapidly. During the contraction process, it continually swept away and absorbed the metal substance along the way, converging towards the Spherical Warship at the center of the fortress.
There is no doubt that the Black Hole Bombs can inflict damage on the Spherical Battleship. Otherwise, in the previous timeline, the Compound-Eyed Observer wouldn’t have needed to control the distance every time they detonated to avoid getting the warship caught.
Harrison also didn’t know what degree of damage the close-range detonation of these three Black Hole Bombs, with overlapping coverage, could cause.
He soon learned the result.
After the aftermath of the Black Hole Bombs subsided, the form of the Summit Fortress was no longer intact, resembling an ice cream with three chunks scooped out by a spade.
In the center of the fortress, one could clearly see the Spherical Battleship with the naked eye just by using an optical telescope.
The result was somewhat disappointing.
The Spherical Battleship was still there, but its volume had shrunk significantly. The extra thickened armor layer on its surface had disappeared, and the thick fog shield, luminescent shield, and curvature bubble that covered its surface had dissipated.
The surface of the spherical warship had countless holes, large ones tens of kilometers, and small ones tens of meters wide, visually resembling the moon covered in meteorite craters.
But this level of damage alone was not enough.
At this moment, due to the original stable gravity field structure being damaged, and part of the mass was sucked into the central area by the Black Hole Bombs, the terrifying change in the gravity environment caused the hollowed-out massive Summit Castle to undergo a second drastic change.
This drastic change was a collapse.
The chain collapse came quickly.
Metal structures collapsed layer upon layer inward, like a melting ice sculpture in sunlight.
At the same time, three small intelligent spacecraft flew out from the unharmed outer ship docks of the fortress, following the previous trajectory of the Black Hole Bombs.
Three seconds later, the battlefield monitoring system detected three ultra-high-energy reactions simultaneously.
The locations of the reactions were the three points close to the center of the Summit Fortress.
Each of the three small spacecraft that had charged in carried 1.5 million Particle-interference Bombs.
At this moment, the triangle explosion consumed all 4.5 million Particle-interference Bombs.
This was the total inventory the Defense Army could mobilize.
The massive Summit Fortress collapsed inward on one side while releasing a terrifying shockwave on the other.
Beams of intense light, with brightness off the charts, penetrated the outer shell of the Summit Fortress and radiated outwards.
This was caused by the leakage of energy from the Particle-interference Bomb explosions.
However, due to the compression of the collapsing fortress, most of the explosive energy was trapped inside during the first wave of release.
At the center, the Spherical Battleship seemed like a sandbag trapped within a boxer’s encirclement, squeezed into a corner by heavyweights and beaten mercilessly.
But there is always a limit to the containment of energy.
The instant energy released from the explosion of 4.5 million Particle-interference Bombs has far exceeded the power output of the sun.
At this moment, the collapse and expansion first intertwined and counteracted each other, followed by the expansion gaining an overwhelming advantage in the next second.
The gigantic Summit Fortress, like a balloon inflated to the limit, burst open, exploding into countless pieces of metal iron flow and debris.
The Spherical Battleship briefly appeared already severely deformed and damaged, like a soccer ball that had been kicked to pieces.
The next second, dozens of giant beams shot from a distance and hit the spherical battleship directly.
Harrison clenched his fists tightly.
Half an hour had passed.
The Stellar Giant Cannon Array finally completed its charging and fired on time, scoring a direct hit!
