"die……"

The combination of the deep black sky and the giant white hand is so eye-catching.

So weird.

It is even difficult to determine for a moment whether one's own judgment is wrong.

Perhaps, it was not a human hand, but a similar-looking pale plant hanging from the sky.

Compared with the former, this guess is undoubtedly more "reasonable".

However, when Lin Tuo's voice fell, it overwhelmed the sound of explosions, strong winds, and the "tsunami" below, and entered the ears of the rest of the Imperial people.

These distant guests finally realized what was happening.

"people……"

At this moment, many people were sure that there was indeed an enemy with a clear consciousness in this world, and that the enemy even mastered their language.

Thinking about it, this giant hand that covers the sky is probably some kind of "strategy".

Although limited by energy supply, the Ueno Star District does not have "transcendent level" human experts corresponding to the spiritual world lords, but this does not mean that they lack the ability to "fight", "spells", "Tao" and the like.

Cognition.

"Is it the thug who destroyed the base? Or is it their companions?"

In the huge command ship hall, more than a dozen senior officers looked at the outside world through the screen with the help of the camera, and came up with the same guess.

By this time, how could they not know that they and others might have fallen into some kind of "trap" arranged by the other party?

After guessing this, they did not panic or fear, but calmed down.

For Imperial soldiers, it is easier to deal with a situation where there is a clear enemy than a situation that is unpredictable and unknown.

If they don't understand what's going on, they're likely to get scared.

But now that I was sure it was a trap, the tension in my heart lessened.

This may sound a little weird, but the logic is actually very clear.

They are confident enough in the strength of the fleet that they will never be at a disadvantage in a battle with a backward civilization or some transcendent strong men.

Although now the opponent has used some kind of ability to destroy dozens of their warships in one blow.

It looks miserable.

But in fact, those who were caught and exploded were either peripheral defense ships.

Either it is a low-level aircraft with low energy level and slow escape speed, and there are not many people inside.

The most important thing is that since it is a long-planned trap, logically speaking, the opponent's first attack should be the most powerful and the most effective.

Even so, the core of the fleet was not hurt, so naturally it was time to counterattack.

"Send the order, dynamic formation free strike! No matter what ability this hand has, destroy it first!"

Commander No. 1 quickly issued the order.

As his voice sounded on the public channel, the entire fleet that was scattered in the sky due to avoidance immediately took action.

Each battleship opened its ether defense cover on its surface, and at the same time began to move freely in the sky in an unfixed orbit, at extremely fast speeds.

Avoiding the attack of that big bright white hand.

At the same time as the word "kill" was heard, the big hand spread out, stretched, and waved again, trying to destroy the other battleships.

The air made a heavy, tearing explosion.

However, the prepared silver-white battleships were extremely flexible, although a few were unable to escape and were smashed to pieces, turning into flames and falling towards the sea below.

But most aircraft can nimbly dodge through the gaps between fingers and the edges of palms.

At the same time, the flat muzzles mounted on the surfaces of these futuristic creations were raised one after another, flexibly adjusting their directions and blasting out blazing ether rays towards the giant white hands!

In an instant, dense incandescent light, carrying terrifying heat energy, bombarded Lin Tuo's big hand, giving off a dazzling light, as if it was about to melt.

Faced with a counterattack, the surface of the large white hand actually swayed with cascading ripples of water.

According to the rules of the sandbox, the limbs of Lin Tuo, the controller, were originally invisible.

It's only because the ether flowing out of the pores of the skin has wrapped every inch of the skin and applied a thick layer that it looks like it does now.

At this moment, the two etheric energies collided with each other, and the energy consumption rate of both parties was instantly increased.

In the central command ship, the countdown that originally jumped to 80 seconds was restored to 150 seconds due to changes in energy, which lengthened the process of returning to the spirit world.

And as the opponent counterattacks, even with ether defense, strong pain will inevitably spread from the palm of his hand upwards.

At this moment, Lin Tuo felt as if his hand was placed in a blazing furnace, and the hundreds of thousands of ether points in his body were falling at a terrifying speed.

However, the expression on his face did not change at all, as if he could not feel the intense pain, and he just stared at the inside of the sand table.

Only the suddenly red skin and the sweat rolling down his forehead seemed to declare the danger and difficulty of this confrontation.

Having had an in-depth understanding of the Imperial warships, he knew very well that these steel creations themselves had extremely strong spell resistance.

Moreover, when spells are released from the sandbox dimension, firstly, the opponent has strong resistance, and secondly, the delay in traveling through the dimension is enough to give the opponent enough time to evade.

Not to mention, the Immaculate Flower will not be able to keep the opponent for a long time.

Once it successfully escapes from the sandbox and returns to the spirit world, it will be difficult for the other party to be wary of it and try the same trick again!

Therefore, when time was in a hurry, he would rather use this physical attack method.

However... as the Imperial fleet adapts more and more to the rhythm of battle, the balance of the battle becomes more and more tilted in favor of the Imperials.

…

"Mobilize energy! Maintain the attack! Fight with it!"

Inside sandbox six.

The battle between the two sides became intense, and the ripples on the surface of the giant white hand showed signs of fading under the continuous attacks. From time to time, battleships were smashed to pieces, burning and falling.

Lighting up the dark sea briefly.

Then it was swarmed by countless pale plants waiting for food and was extinguished.

In the command hall, the countdown on the screen slowly counted down at a speed that was many times slower than the normal second speed... It would take several heartbeats before the numbers on the screen would jump.

But despite this, the countdown has only reached the point of twenty seconds.

The dozen or so senior officers standing here had different expressions, ranging from solemnity at first, to shock later, to now, looking at the big hand in the sky showing fatigue.

Their expressions also became relaxed.

"It looks like it won't last long." An officer laughed.

At the beginning of the battle, they were nervous for a while because of the surging and almost endless supply of ether in that big hand.

However, compared to the battleship group bombarding with high-energy beams, although that big hand looked terrifying, it was still too clumsy.

"It is indeed the style of a barbaric civilization to have powerful energy reserves but not know how to use them rationally." Another officer commented with a confident attitude of winning.

Someone nearby reminded: "Don't take it lightly. Even if we can win, we may not be able to catch it easily. So far, we have not found the enemy's identity hidden behind it."

After a pause, the man said again:

"Also, remember the last time the Governor tried to intercept, the other party didn't have only one transcendent and strong person."

"Indeed." Officer No. 1 exhaled, "Don't underestimate the enemy. To be cautious, maintain the highest intensity attack. When the countdown is over, the entire fleet will return to the spiritual world. Don't be too eager to fight. Keep the distance before re-entering the material universe!"

Although some people in the field disagreed, they did not violate it and nodded at the same time: "Yes."

At this time, the countdown on the screen had only the last ten seconds left.

In addition to the etheric defense layer on the surface of the entire battleship group, the spiritual energy shield also showed signs of reappearing.

"That's not right." Suddenly, Governor Ueno, who had been standing quietly next to him from beginning to end, said.

Attracting everyone's attention.

"What?" someone asked.

The governor, who was wearing a classical robe and existed in the form of a projection, did not turn his head, but looked steadily ahead, with some doubts appearing on the face that was voted for by all citizens:

"The surrounding space seems a little chaotic."

Space...disorder?

Before anyone could express their doubts, suddenly, the situation on the field suddenly changed!

In the sky, the surface of the large hand, which was entangled with a dense group of battleships, seemed somewhat dim and dull. Suddenly, rich ether overflowed, adding in the blink of an eye.

Restored to its full glory.

Release brilliant brilliance.

"Everyone dodge!"

"Pay attention to the blockade to prevent them from escaping!"

In the public channel, the conductor's voice sounded.

In everyone's opinion, this scene was obviously some kind of "reflection" of the giant hand. Perhaps, the other party felt its own defeat and injected the remaining ether into it.
To be continued...
