Chichichi--!
These annihilation energy beams caused no destruction. Instead, the moment they touched the void, they took root and spread like seeds, rapidly constructing a complex and mysterious network of microscopic energy nodes! These nodes were connected by invisible annihilation fields and spatial ties, forming the embryonic form of a vast three-dimensional network encompassing part of the planet's orbital space! This was Pei Du, guided by the power of his Thorn Star Core and combining his newly comprehended principles of space and annihilation, forcibly constructing the Annihilation Matrix! A killing field filled with death traps prepared for the Reaper Fleet!
Time is passing by like crazy: 90 seconds!
Sudden!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
On the outskirts of the Gaia star field, in several different directions, a space-jumping blue light suddenly appeared without any warning!
"Here it comes?!" Deep in the earth, Xu Shuangyao's heart suddenly jumped up.
When the light faded, what appeared was not the expected huge joint fleet, but several "miscellaneous armies" of different sizes and shapes!
A small fleet comprised of dozens of rugged ships, clad in thick rock armor, their engines spewing streams of searing plasma. Their surfaces were covered in totemic markings, emanating a primitive and stoic aura (the Rock Eldar, a mineral civilization on the edge of Gaia).
The other force consists of only a few ships, with slender and smooth hulls, like deep-sea jellyfish, covered with biomass armor, emitting a weak but tenacious life force field (Deep Blue Survivors, descendants of a lost civilization that survived on gas giants).
There were also several armed merchant ships that had been obviously modified, covered with patches and additional weapons, and... a lonely, scarred small frigate with black smoke coming out of its engine. The blue paint logo of the Gravekeepers was still remnant on the hull (a native survivor of the Gaia star field, perhaps the last spark of a destroyed civilization, or a defected low-level soldier of the Gravekeepers)!
They received the message! They responded! Although their strength was as weak as a moth, they still flew towards the raging fire that was about to burn everything!
"The Rock Spirit Clan of the Rock Spirit Tribe has responded! Objective: Delay the landing point!"
"Deep Blue Survivors... Fighting for their homeland!"
"This is the 'Wandering Trader'! Damn it, let's fight!"
"The remnants of the Gravekeeper's Third Patrol Fleet...Atonement!" Intermittent communication signals with different accents and emotions instantly filled the encrypted communication channel that Pei Du had temporarily established!
No greetings, no questions! Under the shadow of the Reapers' extinction, all the survivors understood that this was their last struggle!
"Welcome." Pei Du's icy voice echoed across the channel, devoid of any emotion but carrying a reassuring sense of absolute power. "Target coordinates sent! Construct a spatial deflection zone! Slow down their spatial jump accuracy at all costs! Buy time for the defense of the Earth's core! Execute!"
"Understood!" "Got it!" "For our homeland!" The chaotic responses were filled with a desperate determination.
Like moths to a flame, their engines erupted in blinding flames as they charged relentlessly toward the area Pei Du had marked as the most likely landing point for the Reaper fleet—a vast expanse of airspace just outside Gaia's high orbit! They unleashed reckless firepower, detonating their space-shaking bombs, even using their own hulls as obstacles to frantically disrupt the spatial structure of the area! Their sole purpose: to create chaotic spatial disturbances and disrupt the precise positioning of the Reaper fleet!
Time: 60 seconds!
Deep in the earth's core.
"Not enough!" Xu Shuangyao (Gaia)'s consciousness was anxiously transmitted across the planetary network. She could clearly sense that Pei Du's annihilation matrix and earth vein shield were rapidly taking shape, but facing the crushing force of the star-class fleet, there was still a huge gap in the defense strength! The energy output of the planet's core was nearing its limit!
At this moment, the plant network transmitted a faint but clear thought from an ancient war banyan tree, newly awakened and rooted on the edge of an abandoned city on the planet's surface: [Roots... sense... deep within the Earth's core... there is... a foreign object... high energy... dormant...]
Foreign matter? Deep in the Earth's core?
Xu Shuangyao and Pei Du's thoughts instantly merged! The Thorn Core's perception, combined with the planet's will, scanned the Gaia core like a highly sophisticated probe, instantly piercing the scorching golden energy ocean surrounding the Gaia Core, probing deeper into the absolute core region rarely touched by even the planet's will!
boom--!!!
A wave that had been dormant for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, cold and dead, yet containing heart-pounding destructive energy, was forcibly awakened!
Deep within Gaia's core lies not a pure energy core, but... a massive, teardrop-shaped metal object, covered entirely in a thick, black crystal shell! Its surface is covered in mysterious geometric patterns, and now, as the exploration continues, these patterns begin to glow with a faint, faint blue light!
The remains of the core of the Gravekeeper's "Void Furnace"!
When Pei Du was reborn and transformed in the furnace, this ultimate creation core, which served as the furnace's energy source, was not completely destroyed or taken away when the gravekeeper threw him into the Shattered Star Abyss. Instead, like shrapnel, it embedded deeply in the core of Gaia Star and fell into silence! Now, stimulated by the combined power of the planet's will and the Thorn Star Core, it awakened!
"Danger! High energy reaction! Judgment: unstable!" The data stream in Pei Du's right eye instantly sounded an alarm!
"Wait! Its energy structure... and the Annihilation Matrix... resonate!" Xu Shuangyao (Gaia), with the keen perception of the planet's will, instantly grasped the key! "Pei Du! Guide it! Use your annihilation rules to guide its energy! Make it part of the matrix! The strongest spear!"
