Chapter 598 Ella: How can you still possess such great power?
Main world, in the boundless void, ten interstellar warships simultaneously pushed their cruising speeds to the limit…
Although only one flagship could break the speed of light, even the other nine warships had reached their maximum speeds, covering a distance of ten thousand kilometers in one fifteenth of a second!
However, once they actually started moving, Vittorio discovered that the surrounding space had somehow been blocked without his notice. The ships, sailing within it, were like vessels trapped in a mire, their speed greatly reduced.
"It's the divine realm!" Harrov immediately realized, unable to figure out when they had entered the opponent's divine realm. They could only muster all their power, diverting Ella's Divine Power, to break out of this blocked space!
On the other side, the God of Life and Creation sensed the fall of the God of Lies, Ankara, hesitated for a moment but then launched an attack immediately. He was well aware that if he failed to achieve any merit and simply watched the enemy escape, the furiously great God Harrie would not let him off easily.
The boundless void around quickly became his own divine realm.
During the previous struggle with these strange creatures, he was not inactive. The energy beasts created by divine power were not merely sacrifices; after their deaths, the residual divine power would leave coordinates behind. Using this as a base, he could construct an independent divine realm space!
Large amounts of energy remnants wandering in the void gathered together, forming dozens of light figures over ten meters tall, with the distinct features of Yawar people, their bodies forged from light and the power of faith. Such creatures of light naturally moved incredibly fast, even passing through the interstellar warships whose speed had drastically dropped under the influence of the divine realm.
"How long will it take for us to leave this area?" Vittorio asked hastily.
"Seven seconds!" An assistant nearby responded quickly. Seven seconds was undeniably a brief span, and two seconds had already passed by the time they finished speaking.
Yet for a high-level battle, every second was precious. As soon as the words were spoken, a giant light figure had already caught up, wielding a giant light sword, slashing at the even larger spaceship ahead.
Avoidance was out of the question. This was where interstellar warships were at a disadvantage when facing gods. Their overly large size made them into huge targets. Once embroiled in close-range combat, some powerful weapons became difficult to use.
The ten-meter-tall figure of light could certainly be considered a giant, but in front of a warship over a kilometer in diameter, it seemed as minuscule as a mosquito.
Inside the spaceship, red warning lights flickered on the projection screen. Vittorio also activated the flagship's protection system immediately.
However, the outer layer of protection, the Electromagnetic Barrier, was not activated, and the light sword truly struck the outer shell of the spaceship…
It was then that Vittorio realized something was wrong and sharply turned to look towards the engine room.
Indeed, Ella, who powered the spaceship, had become restless and directly cut off the power supply!
The flagship, which was supposed to leave the divine realm's range, had instead come to a complete stop. Inside the engine room, the Lock of Arcane that tightly bound Ella was stretched to its extreme, seeming like it could snap at any moment.
"Damn it!"
Vittorio couldn't help but curse out loud. If Ella broke free at this moment, they would undoubtedly all die here.
"You guys find a way to drive off those pure light beasts, leave her to me!" A voice timely resounded within the ship, followed by the manifestation of a shadowy figure.
This was Lynn's residual force left in the engine room, which had provided the coordinates for those five antimatter cannons earlier.
However, Vittorio was somewhat hesitant. He did not believe that a mere incarnation could stop the Moon God. The protection inside the engine room enclosed Ella from sensing the outside world, meaning Ella might not even be aware of the crisis they were facing. Since she chose to act up, there must be something she was relying on!
Nevertheless, Vittorio also understood that the threat from outside was equally urgent. Although the ship's hull was made from a special metal capable of withstanding a close-range nuclear blast, it still had its limits and could not completely stop an attack from a god…
The incarnation clearly didn't give Vittorio a chance to choose, as it immediately stepped into the engine room after speaking. From the outside, the engine room seemed quite small, with an area of just over ten meters square, but in reality, the space had been expanded, as large as a house.
Inside, numerous Locks of Arcane extended, binding Ella at the center, most of which had already burst open…
The stepping incarnation wasn't surprised; as divine power surged, the dim chains on the ground revived with energy, snaking back towards the center.
Ella also noticed the anomaly here. She immediately recognized that the one trying to stop her was just an ordinary incarnation, and her surprise was overshadowed by elation, for this confirmed her assumption—that amidst the struggle with the gods of the main world, they simply couldn't afford to tend to her.
Throughout recent times, the Moon Divine Power that had been quietly accumulating suddenly erupted, breaking all the Locks of Arcane that bound it.
A bright moon appeared inside the engine room, signaling that Lynn had pushed the Divine Power to its utmost limit; the entire space violently shook, even dispersing the Necromantic Fog that lingered within.
With a wave of his hand, endless starlight coalesced into an illusory crescent moon spear, which crossed the boundaries of time and space at great speed, crashing down towards the apparition that had appeared in the engine room.
Sturdy arcane gears materialized in the void, only to be instantly penetrated by the spear formed from starlight; but these slight impediments were enough, as the spear veered and sped past, piercing through the engine room and even the entire spacecraft!
Yet, the apparition showed no sign of backing down, still blocking the only exit, with two bluish orbs in its palm attracting each other and rotating continuously, emitting a terrifying aura…
"Submit, or die!"
A voice as resonant as a great bell echoed in the confined engine room. Despite Lynn's struggle to break free, the surreal manifestation remained composed, even arrogantly delivering the verdict.
Its reliance was on the Positive and Negative Uranium Element Balls compressed to the extreme in its hands…
Uranium is the heaviest naturally occurring element. Lynn had previously exhausted much effort in creating antimatter uranium, retained here as a contingency plan.
In the confined space of the engine room, Lynn had nowhere to hide, and nowhere to escape; the likelihood of surviving the annihilating energy blast from the Positive and Negative Matter Balls was minuscule.
The only drawback was the wide range of this device. Once detonated, not just the engine room, but nobody aboard the entire spacecraft would be spared.
"How could you possibly possess such potent power?" Lynn sensed the significant threat from the two Positive and Negative Matter Balls, his face full of disbelief; how could a mere apparition wield such powerful magic?
"My power may be limited, but it's enough to deal with you!" the surreal apparition stated coldly.
Trapping a living deity in the spacecraft's engine room to serve as a power source, and even allowing some degree of power restoration, Lynn naturally would not be unprepared.
To ensure the situation remained under control, he reserved abundant Divine Power here, most importantly able to harness the energy of the two onboard Positive and Negative Matter fusion reactors!
As he said, these powers might not suffice against a deity in its prime, but for Lynn, who had lost his divine realm and believers and was greatly weakened, it was enough!
The surrounding gray-white Necromantic Fog had completely dissipated, replaced by massive positron beams, which floated freely in every corner of the engine room, forming an invisible sealing prison.
Lynn stared fixedly at the surreal apparition, his expression fluctuating.
The power from the two fusion reactors continued to be drawn upon; each moment's delay diminished his chances of escape…
But to perish along with an apparition and a spacecraft was undoubtedly a losing strategy. Moreover, since he had already achieved part of his goal, the notion of a desperate fight to the death evaporated.
Lynn's apparition evidently noticed Lynn's hesitation, which was within his expectations. The multiple layers of Lock of Arcane reappeared, sealing the engine room once again.
The two Positive and Negative Uranium Element Balls in hand were then tossed up, hovering at the top of the engine room, ready to detonate immediately should any extreme reactions occur.
When the surreal apparition stepped out of the engine room again, the situation inside the spacecraft had become extremely critical, as three beings of light had breached the hull's defenses and barged in.
Vittorio had almost single-handedly stalled these pure energy beasts until Lynn's apparition intervened, ultimately eliminating them all.
"Chairman Lynn, has the trouble in the engine room been resolved?" Vittorio asked with immense surprise, as a silver Moonlight Spear had just shattered the spacecraft's defenses, and he thought Lynn was about to break free entirely.
"Start the spacecraft!" Lynn did not explain his actions but found it strange that the God of Life and Creation, who had trapped them in this divine realm, did not seize this rare opportunity to attack.
Unknown to Lynn, just as he had drawn those two Positive and Negative Uranium Element Balls, the God of Life and Creation had also felt that powerful energy fluctuation. To avoid being ambushed like the God of Lies, he chose to watch from a distance, merely manipulating shadows of light in an attempt to harass and damage the spacecraft…
