Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 733: Crisis

The Tianyuan was not equipped with a four-dimensional jump instrument, so when facing the Neutron War Star, it could not even escape. At this moment, Xiao Yu even considered taking the Solar out of the small universe to personally join the battle. But after thinking it over, he dismissed the idea.

Having the Solar participate, due to the distance, would not only be of no help but might also place himself in danger. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The Neutron War Star was ramming fiercely inside the Tianyuan. The immense gravity of the neutron star was constantly tearing at the Tianyuan’s internal structure. Even though the Tianyuan was built upon top-tier Python Alien Beast flesh, it could barely hold on. Three minutes later, the Tianyuan’s damage level had already risen to 56 percent.

Just then, the Sirius, the Vega, and other Star-Class warships arrived. The Neutron War Star violently blasted open another passage inside the Tianyuan, raised the Tianyuan’s damage to 80 percent, then left the Tianyuan and charged toward these newly arrived Star-Class warships.

Along the way, at least over ten thousand of those spherical ships and no fewer than tens of millions of ordinary warships surged toward Xiao Yu’s rescue force. Clearly, the Sweepers Civilization also understood what destroying the Micron corpse meant to them, so at this time they too were going all out.

A genuine Spatial Starburst personally launched by the Neutron War Star struck suddenly. Vast swathes of space collapsed. The energy formed by the collapse surged forward. In an instant it destroyed nearly ten million medium and small warships, and it also inflicted serious impact on several Star-Class warships. Then over ten thousand spherical warships coordinated to unleash a second wave of Spatial Starburst attacks.

Although these Spatial Starburst attacks were far weaker than those of the Neutron War Star, they were still weapons within the scope of a Level 7 civilization. Thus, another large batch of medium and small ships that had already been damaged were destroyed. After the two Spatial Starburst strikes, masses of ordinary warships surged forward, and the Neutron War Star began to move instantly. It plunged into the Sirius Star-Class warship.

Facing the Sweepers Civilization’s ferocious counterattack, Xiao Yu’s rescue fleet was actually blocked here for the moment, unable to advance even an inch. At this time, the Sweepers Civilization switched to yet another attack method.

“This is a four-dimensional attack.” Xiao Yu recognized it instantly. Yes, this was four-dimensional technology based on the same scientific foundation as four-dimensional jump. However, the Sweepers Civilization seemed only able to bring attack energy from the four-dimensional layer, not allow physical warships to traverse on the four-dimensional layer. In this respect it was somewhat inferior to four-dimensional jump.

After soul attacks proved ineffective, the Sweepers Civilization chose four-dimensional attack.

Under the four-dimensional assault, the four-dimensional shield enveloping the Micron corpse rippled in an instant, as if a stone had been thrown into a calm pond.

“I feel I cannot hold on much longer.” At this moment, Xiao Yu again received the Specter companion’s somewhat panicked plea for help. Xiao Yu responded quickly, “Hold on. I am almost there.”

The Sirius was ultimately inferior to the Tianyuan. Under the Neutron War Star’s fierce ramming and powerful gravity, the Sirius was destroyed two minutes later. The Neutron War Star immediately began attacking the Vega. At this moment, the Tianyuan, already heavily damaged and then struck by two more Spatial Starbursts, had basically lost the ability to sail. Right now a spherical warship with a diameter of about 2.6 kilometers, together with some conventional warships, was mounting a siege against the Tianyuan.

Three minutes later, the Tianyuan exploded violently and was destroyed. Under the Neutron War Star’s attack, the Vega also began to erupt in violent explosions.

Three Star-Class warships and tens of millions of ordinary warships were destroyed in less than ten minutes. This is the end conventional warships experience when they try to resist the Neutron War Star head-on.

But Xiao Yu had no other way. The Micron corpse had to be saved. For the Micron corpse, even if all Star-Class warships were lost, he would not hesitate. Under Xiao Yu’s control, follow-on warships continued to surge forward like a tide, the Polaris Star-Class warship, the Tianjin Four Star-Class warship, the Betelgeuse Star-Class warship and other ships under Xiao Yu’s control, as well as the Jianqi, the Rose, the Killer and other ships piloted by intelligent being warriors. Together with Technology Taihao, a total of seven Star-Class warships, plus Specter Taihao who was charging again, eight high-end combatants in all, once more launched an assault on the area where the Micron corpse was trapped.

“You cannot possibly block eight high-end combatants at the same time. Even if one Star-Class warship can only buy two minutes, I will accept it.” Xiao Yu’s spirit was pulled taut as he launched an all-out attack again.

Under these circumstances, the Sweepers Civilization finally pulled back. Xiao Yu saw that over ten thousand spherical warships began to withdraw. They, together with large numbers of conventional warships, encircled the Micron corpse and formed a tight defense around this region. At the same time, the Neutron War Star did not retreat. Without the Micron corpse, the Neutron War Star was utterly unrestrained and completely unmatched.

Excluding reserve warships, Xiao Yu had twenty-three Star-Class warships on the battlefield at this moment. Adding the three already destroyed, he had twenty remaining. Of the six that had arrived, the remaining fourteen still needed some time to get here. The Star-Class warships Xiao Yu was urgently transferring from the reserve also needed at least a few days to arrive.

Six Star-Class warships plus Specter Taihao and Technology Taihao made eight in total. These eight were all of Xiao Yu’s high-end combat power. Yet at this moment, these eight were being completely suppressed by the Neutron War Star. In just three minutes, the Polaris Star-Class warship exploded and was destroyed. Specter Taihao was struck head-on by the Neutron War Star. Its originally formless body briefly appeared in the cosmos. Accompanied by a message of terrified screaming, Specter Taihao fled in an instant, only to be surrounded not far away by seven or eight Planet-Class warships of the Sweepers Civilization and three spherical warships.

At this time, Xiao Yu had no energy to rescue Specter Taihao. He continued to launch fierce charges, attempting to break through to the front. Finally, after the Killer was also destroyed, the Tianjin Four Star-Class warship broke through the Neutron War Star’s blockade and sped toward the target zone, only to be intercepted midway by a Star-Class warship of the Sweepers Civilization. Along with it, over a dozen spherical warships also blocked the way.

At this moment, the situation at the Micron corpse changed again. It had to be admitted that the four-dimensional shield was indeed a fine thing. It had blocked the Sweepers Civilization’s soul attacks and four-dimensional attacks for the Micron corpse. But its effect also had limits. Xiao Yu saw that after finding the four-dimensional attack ineffective, the Sweepers Civilization again changed its method of attack.

Hundreds of spherical warships began ramming the Micron corpse violently. Spatial Starburst and spatial weapon attacks were launched simultaneously at this moment. It seemed the Sweepers Civilization also realized that the four-dimensional shield was the greatest obstacle to destroying the Micron corpse, and to gain time, it adopted the most ferocious means of attack.

A spherical warship slammed into the Micron corpse’s periphery. Before it even touched the Micron corpse, it was blocked by the four-dimensional shield. A powerful burst of energy exploded out instantly. This energy was so strong that even the spherical warship could not withstand it. It exploded at once and was destroyed. Yet the enormous energy was also applied to the four-dimensional shield. Thus, wave-like ripples appeared upon the four-dimensional shield again.

The spherical warship’s most powerful attack was direct ramming, and ramming the Micron corpse could lead to its own destruction. But at this time, the Sweepers no longer cared. To break the Micron corpse’s defenses early, what did it matter to lose a few spherical warships.

A second spherical warship struck the four-dimensional shield, then a third, a fourth.

Every spherical warship that rammed the four-dimensional shield was destroyed. At the same time, Xiao Yu perceived that with the ramming of the spherical warships, the four-dimensional shield’s energy reserves around the Micron corpse were also dwindling.

Spherical warships kept slamming down like raindrops. Spatial Starburst and spatial weapon attacks were like a gale. Amid this storm, the four-dimensional shield was like a candle flame flickering in wind and rain, swaying and liable to go out at any moment.

The Tianjin Four Star-Class warship had multiple injuries by now, but it finally managed to shake off the Sweepers Civilization’s Star-Class warship and secured an opportunity to head for the region where the Micron corpse was trapped. The reality left Xiao Yu in despair. Less than ten seconds after the Tianjin Four broke through the defensive line, the Neutron War Star withdrew from the front at great speed, plunged straight into the Tianjin Four without any flourish, and half a minute later burst out of it. The Tianjin Four instantly became a fireball and was destroyed.

The Neutron War Star, as if it had slain a mere chicken, showed not the slightest hesitation after destroying the Tianjin Four. It immediately rushed back to the front line. This time its target was Technology Taihao.

Just then, accompanied by a terrified scream from the Specter companion, Xiao Yu’s heart sank with a thud.

Under the attacks of hundreds of spherical warships and countless spatial weapons, Xiao Yu saw the four-dimensional shield that had been providing solid protection for the Micron corpse suddenly vanish at this moment.

From this moment on, the Micron corpse was exposed bare to the vacuum of space.
