Chapter 849: 451. Heart of the Holy Mother
"Stay away from the central combat zone! Beware of the antimatter explosion! Ugh—"
"Communications are clear, currently attacking Area D!"
"Restructure the formation, the firepower cannot be weakened—'Su Fang' and 'Red Bud' prepare for gradual bombardment to cover the advancement of mecha troops."
"The anti-air firepower is severely damaged—they are boarding the ship!"
Even in the Eye of the Galaxy, the Night Butterfly People had never encountered such a battle.
It wasn't the strength of a Kappa 10-level warrior rampaging through their fleet formation, with a gravity vortex expanding, making beam rays nearly impossible to target him, while chemical ammunition was intercepted by thick armor and drone escorts.
The target of Li Aozi was certainly not small, but almost ninety percent of the 60-meter implant gear was stacked with phase-aggregation armor—a special type of bio-armor that converts physical impact into slight deformation but retains much more memory than ordinary metal, immediately returning to its original shape after a brief deformation.
——Do not doubt life.
Two ship cannons continuously fired, launching hard armor-piercing ammunition to break through the Night Butterfly People's armor; as for overpenetration—that wasn't a concern for Li Aozi.
He accelerated to break through those damaged breaches, the frenzy light of fifty thousand Moonlight Disciple followed closely behind, mimicking Li Aozi's actions. Each disciple just needed to wave their hand, with fifty thousand arms waving simultaneously, the entire battleship could no longer withstand such torment, collapsing and crashing in the starry sky.
——Life itself is the finest machine.
Shlank!
A long Shining Sword sliced open the bridge of a battleship, implant flesh squirmed, delivering a plasma rocket launcher to Li Aozi; at such close range, even he didn't need to aim.
Boom boom boom boom!!!
He hoisted the rocket launcher, continuously firing at the ejection trajectory, burying the yet-to-take-off fighters and mecha in plasma.
Having done all this, Li Aozi didn't glance at the swarming fighter jets behind him, the implant armor ejected, flinging out a long tentacle, naturally extending in the vacuum to block the fighter jet's flight path.
Li Aozi murmured softly, and his voice echoed in the cosmos:
"BOOM!"
Buzz—————Whoosh!
A vast array of sharp blades and spikes suddenly shot out from the tentacle, continuously piercing the passing jets. Powered by Iota 9-level strength, dense firepower alone was insufficient to destroy the equipment on Li Aozi.
And as Li Aozi took down the group of fighter jets, the Moonlight Disciples also followed suit in assault, they had no tentacles, but Li Aozi's actions granted them purpose—attack.
One by one, the Moonlight Disciples surged past Li Aozi, transforming into dazzling white meteors, colliding head-on with the starry sky fighter jets.
The Moonlight Disciples didn't seem like summons, rather, they were the embodiment of Arcane Energy; even when dispersed, they only required a few seconds of cooldown before reassembly.
"Damn! These things, we can't shoot them down at all!"
"Charge! Perform high-G maneuvers, shake them all off!"
"I'll open a path for everyone—Night Mother Goddess Supreme! Long live the Great Commander!!!"
Facing the relentless attacks of the Moonlight Disciples, the Night Butterfly pilots also revealed a crazed side. They were loaded with ammunition, accelerated directly, and plunged into the dense swarm of Moonlight Disciples.
In the very next moment, vivid fireworks bloomed again in the vacuum.
"I'm a humanities student, I'll sacrifice first!"
"STEM students, officers, and priests are prohibited from charging! You are the talents of our great nation; this war needs you."
"Yeaah! The Night Butterfly will soar once more—glory belongs to the Night Mother Goddess!"
The relentless kamikaze-like attacks kept crashing down, Night Butterfly soldiers fervently calling upon their Matriarch Goddess and the capital as they confronted death.
Homeland, deities, mother!
The suicide attack indeed paved a blood-stained path for the Night Butterfly, the butterfly-shaped fighters bearing their comrades' grief, sailing through the thick swarm of Moonlight Disciples, locking sights on the central Li Aozi.
"Die, you monstrous demon!"
But this was to no avail.
[Sequence 7: Weak Force]
Li Aozi discarded the plasma rocket launcher, the fleshy tentacles autonomously retrieved it, and more tentacles emerged from the armor; under the Weak Force's influence, the flesh began to transform, shrouded in a layer of green mysterious glowing crystallization.
Attribute Change: Carbon to Uranium
Then, Li Aozi gently tapped the tentacle on his body.
The range of the Weak Force was very short, only three meters—but applied to an object hundreds of meters long, it could extend the effect outwards.
[Atomic Decay]
The Night Butterfly jets launched a large number of missiles, consecutively hitting the floating tentacles on the outer layer; the explosion shockwave was completely negated by the impact of uranium fission occurring on the tentacles.
"——What?!"
The Night Butterfly pilot's head buzzed, their vision filled with the flames of a nuclear blast, their sensor equipment momentarily incapacitated by the electromagnetic pulse generated by the explosion, crashing for a half-second.
And that half-second had already determined the battle's direction.
Whoosh!
The flames of atomic fission scattered, revealing suddenly a massive red-black implant ahead of the Night Butterfly pilot.
"Ugh—"
The pilot reacted extremely quickly, immediately pressing the ejection button.
Li Aozi retrieved a laser shotgun from an auxiliary arm, aiming it at the pilot's cockpit, firing continuously, holding it with an over-shoulder grip to repeatedly fire at the ejection trajectory with multiple shots, the scattered laser plume piercing the fleeing pilot into a sieve in an instant.
"I don't possess Knight Spirit."
Li Aozi dropped the laser shotgun, another auxiliary arm handed him a massive magic guidebook.
[You have equipped [High-Weight Magic Tome], this is not equipment suited for your Main Attribute, conducting an [Intelligence] check... ]
[Specialty: Decisive Action activated!]
[Real-time Charm: 3030]
[Equipment check in process...]
"Magic is the crystallization of the Crystal Tower Civilization."
Li Aozi opened this over four-meter thick tome, as large as a minibus, and said gently:
"Let me have a taste."
The next moment, the magic guidebook rapidly flipped, unleashing a torrent of spells, curses, sorcery, and summons instantly, each spell far surpassing military defense capabilities, only to be countered by a Kappa Rank powerhouse.
Even the Night Butterfly People were no fools in spellcasting. As a graduate of a prestigious magic university, even though it was just a one-year master's program, holding the "Pioneer-level Caster General Knowledge", he was adept at calibrating his trajectory.
"Hey! Weren't they supposed to not be Kappa-level?! How can they still use such powerful magic?!"
A group of pilots jumped off the fighter jets from a floating combat platform marked 'Night Butterfly Heavy Industries', as they awaited resupply, not forgetting to question their superiors:
"Night Mother Goddess it's Supreme! Your death is honorable!"
Yet, the red-hatted priest, merely leaned on his staff, responding:
"This is for the Great Night Mother Goddess! Your deaths will be glorious!"
"Well then, please hurry up and inform Marshal Dufen Herman, we need high-level support!" a pilot shouted, administering a shot of enhancement to himself, while the other pilots exchanged glances, being the most learned and elite talents of their civilization, initially inclined to be secular knights, they eventually knelt down before the clergy, bowing in reverence.
