Chapter 235: The Curtain Ends(1/2)
Chapter 235 The End
In order to fill the gap in the "physical armor", the commander of a Colossus said decisively: "I will do it!"
Then he ordered his soldiers to control the colossus and fill the gap that appeared.
"——Old man, are you desperate for your life? You will face the blow of the 'unexpected enemy'! If you don't want to die, take your place!" Someone who is very familiar with this commander said in the public communication
The channel was filled with foul language.
They had often clashed with each other on the battlefield, and over time they had developed some sympathy for each other. Although they had been forced to compete due to their positions, now their true nature broke out when they worked hard for the same goal.
The commander who bet on the gap sneered at the other party's words and said unceremoniously:
"With your papery Colossus armor? You should first think about how to get back alive!"
Although his words were full of disdain, it seemed that he could hear the feeling of heroism. He and the soldiers who dared to come here in person had long been prepared to wake up.
New explosions began to occur quickly on the side of the Colossus. However, the Colossus's large enough hull became the best shield at this time. Even if it was dilapidated, it could still maintain its general frame.
Soon, this "strange fleet" surrounded by many battleships arrived at the destination and began to work according to the tasks that had been assigned.
The formation of the Colossus began to spread out slightly, revealing one of the smaller Colossi ships.
The commander of this colossus, Hawkeye Khan, took a deep breath and gave an order to aim the cannon that was not inferior to other colossi at the "Purification Core", and the energy that had been preheated surged out.
came out and poured onto the surface of the planet.
He comes on behalf of the "Dankamu Resurrection Group", but only he himself knows what his true identity is.
The lone wolf that had not appeared until now made him increasingly uneasy about the results of the "Trial of the Great Khan", so he had to adopt this extreme risk-taking method to personally participate in this "endgame".
If he personally destroyed the "Purification Core" and ended this crisis, then this honor should be enough for him to win the position of Great Khan.
In the future, when he commands the Milky Way as the "Great Khan", this honor may be an aid to him.
He may be the only commander here who doesn't have such an upright mind. Even now, he is still thinking about how to use the present to plan for the future.
However, the gradually rising enthusiasm also ignited his blood for the first time in a long time.
Even if the Colossus has fired, it will still take a certain amount of time to completely destroy the "Purification Core", and this is the most critical step.
He became the executor of the "Purification Core" to destroy the "Colossus" on the grounds that their civilization's "Colossus" can fire more efficiently. The Star Destroyer weapons specially blessed by his "Void Realm Mentor" are indeed faster than other civilizations.
It is not allowed to fire multiple colossi at the same time. After all, the energy properties of each civilization's Star Destroyer weapons are very different. It is normal for them to interfere with each other. By then, they may not be able to destroy the planet at all.
Effect.
In order to ensure a one-hit kill, only the colossus ridden by the lone wolf is firing, while the other colossi serve as "substitutes" and will assume other responsibilities when necessary.
Just like now.
The galactic battleships still surround the Colossi, but under the crazy firepower of the "unexpected enemy", they inevitably become thinner and thinner, with more and more gaps appearing.
So soon, another commander of the Colossus stood up and simply said: "I will do it this time." Then he commanded the Colossus to fill the new gap.
After a while, before the report results came out, the new Colossus commander seemed to have spotted the spot. He just said "It's our turn" and walked up to him and stopped him directly.
A beam of light directly hit the Eagle Eye Colossus.
Such situations become more and more frequent with the gradual destruction of the "purification core" and the desperate attacks of the "unexpected enemy".
"Hmph! You guys are really short-lived, you still have to look at us! Brothers, it's time to go, I'll be with you!"
"——Ah~ Has the real trial already come to this body? A determined warrior will never escape at this time. May the sacred spirit connect you and me."
"Sigh... Once this giant statue explodes, we will lose even our capital..."
"..."
The public communication channel suddenly became frequent and then gradually decreased, symbolizing the departure of more people.
First came Segurius's Revenge Crusade, Holy Land of Destiny, Pan-Galaxy Trade Chamber... then the Star Alliance, Turbulence Empire, Fire Alliance...
As many commanders from civilizations that were either familiar or rarely heard of came to plug the gap with their "important weapons of the country", Hawkeye's mentality also underwent subtle changes.
Perhaps he came with utilitarian purposes before, but now he was also infected by the atmosphere and just wanted the Colossus to fire faster.
The surrounding colossi, which were always able to obscure their sight, gradually left, leaving an open and stable space to ensure the safety of the colossus that was continuously bombarding the "Purification Core".
However, the sense of crisis that "the end is about to come" has made the "unexpected enemy" give up everything. Even the Titan-class battleship rushed towards the huge "physical armor" desperately, just to squeeze in and fire a shot.
.
A geometric battleship of the same level as Titan used the same "solid armor" method to rush into the escort battleship group. While the main gun was pointed at the Eagle Eye Colossus, energy was condensing in it.
The Colossus' firing must not be interrupted easily, not to mention that the Titan-class main gun is enough to cause fatal damage to the Colossus.
However, the galactic civilizations, which already lack effective output capabilities, can only watch helplessly as this battleship is about to open fire.
All the commanders and soldiers felt "finished", but what followed was anger. Even Hawkeye looked at the battleship through the porthole with an angry look on his face. Even if the main gun was close at hand, he did not flinch.
.
They may have been on the verge of losing, but the "unexpected enemy" definitely didn't win. This was a blow to their dignity.
So at this moment, several purple energy arcs coming from the sky passed through countless spaces, passed through the shield and armor of the "unexpected enemy" battleship, and destroyed the Titan-class battleship directly from the inside of the hull.
The process of firing was terminated.
Hawkeye had another chance to breathe, but the person who appeared at this critical moment made him couldn't help but shrink his pupils.
"...Ah, I'm sorry, I'm a lone wolf, a...chosen person of the prophet? In short, I just got in touch with the believers from a state of disconnection. I'm sorry that I'm late."
"I am now representing...the 'Guardian of the Holy Land' to help resolve this crisis..."
The man who suddenly appeared with the fleet like a "savior" was his competitor - Lone Wolf.
A sense of frustration arose spontaneously, and he suddenly felt that all his efforts seemed to be less effective than if a lucky person appeared at the right time.
He wanted to say something in the channel, but couldn't say anything. Finally, he smiled bitterly and continued to fire the Colossus steadily.
However, just when the lone wolf appeared here on behalf of the "Guardian of the Holy Land", another group of fleets also came here, once again lighting up the dawn of victory.
【...This is the end...】
[We are "far travelers", and we are very happy to see the fiery motivation burning in your hearts, which will become your treasure in the future]
[I hope you can be part of our journey together in the future...]
"...This is... the fleet of the 'Farstrider'? Are they coming too?"
Some people still seem a bit unbelievable, but those "lost fleets" that are fighting against "unexpected enemies" have already shown that they are not dreaming.
And not long after, the commanders and soldiers in this galaxy received news from their home planet.
"——'Presolin' and 'Coordinator' are clearing out the 'Unexpected Enemy' battleships wandering across the galaxy. We have confirmed that these two lost empires have also joined this final battle!"
[...Metal...cannot be eaten...and cannot be farmed...]
【...I really want to go back soon...】
[-Hi, hello! Hello! This is the first time I communicate with you like this, right? I didn’t expect that you in single form can also have such a side!-]
【-Keep up the good work, keep up the good work!-】
These are communications sent by "Presolin" and "Coordinator" respectively. Among them, "Coordinator" has actively interacted with galactic civilizations for the first time in history.
"...Are all the Lost Empires here?"
Someone murmured, and the tight nerves in his heart relaxed, and he felt like tears filled his eyes.
But this touch was quickly wiped away by them, replaced by a look of perseverance.
They are grateful for the blessings of the Lost Empire, but the road ahead will be their own.
Hawkeye was also infected by this atmosphere. At this moment, he even felt that the "position of the Great Khan" was completely worthless compared to it.
So looking at the "Purification Core" that was just one step away from being destroyed, the energy poured into it by the Colossus reached its peak.
The purple psychic energy pillar mixed with the white energy torrent penetrated into the interior of the planet. This star-destroying weapon, which has a miraculous effect on machine-made objects, is perfect for dealing with the "artificial intelligence planet" that has been mechanized from the inside out.
[——Detected——Fatal damage detected——]
[——The active purification agreement is about to terminate——]
【Net%#¥%...purification*&?:|...net¥&*@】
The "Unexpected Enemy", which is also the "Active Purification Protocol", is about to usher in its final moment.
This mechanical intelligence, which has been running for countless years, is still stubbornly executing the lowest level control protocol, even if it is almost in a dead state, as if nothing can interfere with its effectiveness.
A cannon muzzle spread out tremblingly deep in the earth's core, trying to make a final resistance before the end came.
No one noticed this weapon buried deep in the earth, and they were all celebrating the arrival of victory.
And as long as this weapon fires, Lone Wolf's colossus, which has almost no defensive capabilities, will almost certainly be destroyed. Although destruction is inevitable, it wants to "purify" its enemies until the last moment.
However, the ending of the reunion, with such an incongruous scene, is obviously not very satisfying.
So, before it was about to fire, a small projection device with a black screen, as if it had been nearby for a long time, floated close to the muzzle.
The "unexpected enemy" didn't notice this thing at first, but as it got closer, its remaining mechanical intelligence quickly began to fluctuate.
There is still relevant information left in the nearly destroyed database, and this also means that a possibility that it had no time to consider before has become a reality.
To be continued...
