I Really Didn t Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

Chapter 794: Chapter 475: Even If Going Against the Light, We Must Sail in the Storm【6400 Words】_2

Meanwhile, two other fleets almost managed to position themselves successfully.

However, one of them had an unidentified malfunction with the black hole cannon during the positioning process, preventing it from firing.

The other fleet discovered the cause of the malfunction and added a special layer of outer protection to the main control chip of the black hole spinor generator to prevent interference from the strange magnetic fields generated by plasma magnetic trickster mines.

The Ninth Fleet was on the verge of success, with the black hole spinor cannon just ten seconds short of fully charging. However, it was still prematurely destroyed by the overwhelming number of incoming Blade Mantis, resulting in the failure of the mission.

The responsibility of operating the final black hole cannon suddenly weighed heavier on the shoulders of the Grand Wind Fleet.

This was intended to be the first test of the black hole spinor cannon after the completion of the first stage of development. If the Grand Wind Fleet failed again, the research institute would have no choice but to produce a second batch of prototype black hole spinor cannons, which would take at least three weeks.

Nobody could predict what would happen three weeks later.

Even if the second generation were produced successfully, a new round of testing would be required, and it was unclear whether the desired objectives could be achieved.

On September 18th, at 6:33:07 PM Beijing time, the Grand Wind Fleet reached the speed of light and entered subspace.

The Torrent Assault Team, with just over half an hour of rest and a remaining roster of about twelve thousand members, set off almost simultaneously and also entered subspace.

At 6:33:12 PM, the Grand Wind Fleet appeared 7.2 light-seconds behind the DL333 Prism Ship.

They were slightly farther out than the original target location by 0.2 light-seconds. This was because, during the fleet’s subspace flight, they were affected by the longitudinal wave interference from the Torrent Assault Team, which had entered subspace almost at the same time as them, causing the fleet to deviate slightly from its course. However, the problem was not significant.

During the turbulence caused by deceleration and positioning, Major General Felix Yeoman, who had also lived for over a century and fought many battles, stood inside the black hole cannon’s massive ship, holding onto the railing with both hands as she rapidly reported and issued orders.

“Grand Wind Fleet successfully positioned! Vortex supercurved motion error rate of 1.72%, error analysis report submitted. Black hole cannon begins charging! Activate Unified Force Shield and Pseudo-Curvature Membrane Layer Shield! Fire the Luminous Barrage Cannon concurrently! Form a cover channel!”

The fleet’s chief intelligence officer reported in sync, “Large numbers of short-range warp fluctuations have been detected within three hundred light-seconds of DL333. A total of 150,000 newly-born Blade Mantis will arrive shortly! The enemy ship’s rear interference cannon has started charging, and the first batch of dark energy mists will take form in six seconds!”

With an emotionless expression, Felix gave the commands, “Execute Category 3 Z-type curve maneuver for the giant ship. The main battleships and escort ships disperse in a 6th Snowflake Formation, forming a triple-layered aggregation shield network. Advance!”

In the intelligence monitoring projection, small clusters of dark energy began to appear in a misty formation ahead, with some blocking the Grand Wind Fleet’s path forward, and a few trailing behind.

Once these dark energy mists fully formed, they would completely turn a nearly two-million-kilometer diameter space into a short-lived dark energy black hole.

However, the Grand Wind Fleet had already begun curving its trajectory, cleverly avoiding the gradually spreading dark energy clusters and continuing to advance.

In the monitoring system, another 150,000 Blade Mantis could be seen scattered in front of the fleet.

At that moment, the top of the specialized giant ship with the black hole cannon appeared to be swallowing and spitting out electric arcs, flickering with black light.

This was the muzzle of the black hole cannon.

From the start of charging to the guided firing of the black hole cannon, it would take twenty seconds.

Within these twenty seconds, the mission of the fleet was to safely escort the giant ship within 100,000 kilometers of the rear of the Prism Ship and then fire successfully.

Before the 150,000 Blade Mantis could emerge from the rigidity caused by their short-range warp, the main battleships and escort ships opened fire first, releasing a massive amount of energy weapons.

If these had been earlier models of the Blade Mantis, the first barrage of energy weapons would have dealt devastating damage to them.

However, the new Blade Mantis had an additional protective feature on their shields. The concentrated fire only succeeded in eliminating just over 20,000 of them.

The remaining 120,000 Blade Mantis began shifting their position and, in a rare move, raised their shimmering silver bone shields.

After engaging with the Torrent Assault Team, the Compound-Eyed Observer had finally come to understand the true power of the human forces.

The raising of the Blade Mantis shields indicated that not only was the Compound-Eyed Observer absorbing human warfare art, but also that the enemy acknowledged the right of human soldiers to fight face-to-face with the Blade Mantis.

The staggering number of Blade Mantis accelerated to near-light-speed, transforming into a swarm of silver meteors in space and charging towards the Grand Wind Fleet.

Three seconds before the close-quarters engagement, the Grand Wind Fleet’s firepower suddenly ceased. In the next instant, the Torrent Assault Team, composed of 12,000 Star Shadow Warriors, emerged from curvature subspace directly into the path of the charging Blade Mantis.

“Torrent Assault Team has successfully positioned! Begin intercepting the enemy!” shouted Commander Marthus, raising his right hand.

Perkin, without hesitation, issued the order, “Free attacking and defending! Block the enemy at all costs! Do not let a single Blade Mantis get near the heavy cannon ship!”

“Understood!” Marthus relayed the command through the quantum-gravitational-wave compound network. “Everyone activate high mobility mode! Energy overload ratio 30%, neural link overload ratio 30%. Type 3 free-protective formation! Hold for twenty seconds! Do not let a single Blade Mantis through! Attack!”

In the next instant, the curvature engines and medium engines of the 12,000 Star Shadow Battle Armors roared to life.

The 12,000 shadows began to perform countless erratic movements in space, weaving themselves into a massive net.

Numerous small-scale black hole bombs and gravitational distortion bombs that could tear through chaotic space and gravitational lines were released, briefly trapping the enemy, who had ten times their numbers, within a confined region of the cosmos.

Chaos erupted once more.

As the fleet’s weapons ceased firing, their engine power surged, and their forward momentum suddenly accelerated.
