Chapter 454: Shadow of the Ancient Sage [5800 words]



The countless combat units of the compound eye civilization that were advancing rapidly in an attempt to besiege Chen Feng suddenly turned around and rushed back like crazy.

Although the blade mantis was the farthest away, it returned the fastest.

In the quantum imaging monitoring of Tianfeng No. 917, the forty-nine blade mantises just got out of the folding rigid state, and then the whole body flashed with lightning and energy flow overflowed.

This means that in order to return to the mother ship as soon as possible, the blade mantis ignored the stability requirements of the reorganized folding subspace membrane layer and continuously opened the second fold.

The forty-nine blade mantises were the first to return to the sky above the spherical ship, and they all rushed into the body of the spherical ship.

At the same time, the surface of the spherical ship suddenly changed.

Countless long tentacles came out from the mist, spreading and growing, spreading wildly, quickly taking shape, and growing back into the form of a giant white cocoon.

Compared to the giant white cocoon that Chen Feng had seen last time, this time the cocoon took shape faster, and it was assembled almost at the same time as the blade mantis just fell into the spherical ship.

The old captain frowned and said, "It appears again, the frozen cocoon."

The adjutant wondered, "What do you mean?"

The old captain: "Sixteen years ago, the New Meo-003 extra-large escape ship had the opportunity to approach the spherical battleship."

The adjutant recalled, "Is it the main combat escape ship from that galaxy that the commander came from?"

"Yes. When he just came out, I had the honor to attend the online lecture of the blond general, and I gained a lot. I have to admit that the people in that galaxy do have unique insights into war. When the spherical battleship ambushed another escape ship and exposed its whereabouts, he pretended to escape at sub-light speed, but in fact he had been setting up monitoring nodes along the way. The blond general accurately predicted the tracking trajectory of the spherical battleship."

"When the spherical battleship just approached and tried to get close, the New Meo 003 quickly entered hypercurvature motion and returned to the vicinity of the spherical battleship at the cost of giving up half of its weight. A rare close combat occurred between the two sides. If the formation time of this frozen coffin was not much faster than the historical records, the New Meo almost shot down the spherical battleship. This is our best chance to achieve even a small victory. Once the frozen coffin is unfolded, it will be difficult for our weapons to damage the main body of the spherical battleship, but we will face The enemy's constantly replenished Blade Mantises and other miscellaneous soldiers. In the end, the New Meo 003 still failed to outlast the enemy. "

The adjutant sighed, "Alas. What a pity."

The old captain: "There is nothing we can do. But this man alone forced the ball ship to open the frozen cocoon. In his weapon system, except for black hole blasting and antimatter bombs, we have never seen anything else. Especially the two micro cannons on his shoulders and his short-range folding ability. If we had this equipment at the beginning, it would be great."

"Maybe his research institute has just been completed." The adjutant counseled.

The old captain nodded.

At this time, the old captain thought he had guessed the identity of the man, probably a top warrior from a special galaxy.

He was very pleased. It turned out that his admiration for individual armor was not wrong, but no one could reach this level.

However, at this moment, in the top-secret meeting room of the Morning Wind Empire, more than 20 people were looking at each other.

They knew very well that except for sending some commanders to assist in the implementation of the escape plan, the galaxy had never sent a warrior to the outside world.

Their research and development results would be sent out, but the people would stay there.

Therefore, there could only be one person who possessed such strength.

The sage Chen Feng.

He finally came.

And he brought his new research results.

But no one knew why he was late for a hundred years.

He must have seen the situation outside a long time ago, but he kept hiding and did not contact anyone.

Previously, investigators reported that some abnormal phenomena had occurred in some garbage dumps. Now I think that this was most likely the work of the ancient philosopher.

The situation is very puzzling.

But everyone believes that he must have his own plans.

He may be observing whether the descendants in this timeline have a chance of winning, or he may be worried about encountering the beheading tactics in advance and choose to lie low and study hard.

In short, he must be collecting information and advancing technology.

Apart from other things, just looking at the short-range folding technology he has mastered now, it is worth waiting for a hundred years just for this technology.

Even though in the past hundred years, mankind has been losing ground and has no place to retreat, and the commanders who would never leave the galaxy until he arrived have also started to rush to the battlefield, and now they have fallen into a hopeless situation, it is worth waiting for this new change he has brought. He

is really a sage, and his research has been a great success.

What kind of great wisdom is this!

Now, he must know the frozen cocoon of the spherical battleship, so he seems to be trapped inside, but he will definitely rush out!

Because he is the sage Chen Feng!

Inside the spherical battleship, Chen Feng began to wreak havoc after entering.

Relying on the reverse inertia effect of the double curvature bubble, he started a sub-light-speed zigzag maneuver at 30,000 kilometers per second in such a small range.

Every time he needed to propel in a straight line, he first used the curvature, medium and gravity traction engines to do triple work and continuously increase the speed.

When he needed to change direction, he turned off the medium and gravity engines, and increased the power of the curvature engine alone, forming a perfect curvature bubble in a very short time, controlling his state between entering the curvature subspace and staying in the three-dimensional space.

From the outside, he was performing extremely complex directional maneuvers in a row in a way that completely violated Newton's laws.

To achieve such an operation, multiple prerequisites need to be met.

First, Chen Feng's on-the-spot reaction time in a narrow space is often less than one hundred thousandth of a second, so he has to make arrangements in advance and convey the preset instructions to the quantum intelligence of the folding armor.

Chen Feng must continue to complete the prediction and arrange the next few seconds in advance.

Secondly, the performance of each component in the armor must be sufficient to support such a high-intensity output in such a short period of time. For example, the curvature engine was still running at a low intensity one second ago, but it was fully opened at 100% power the next moment, which would cause a huge load on the equipment. If

any link goes wrong, it will overturn.

For example, if his judgment is wrong, he will either crash into the hull of the spherical battleship, the huge energy transportation pipeline, or the spherical engine in the center, or even a small collision can kill him.

Or if there is an error in the equipment, the power output of the curvature bubble is not stable enough, and his speed control is not accurate enough, it may also cause half of his body to exceed the speed of light and enter the subspace, while the other half of his body remains in the three-dimensional original space, and he will be split into two while flying.

If it was Chen Feng in the previous timeline, he would not be able to complete such an action.

But this time, his gene awakening degree was as high as 46.66%, and he did it.

Although he had a mortality rate of up to 50% at the moment of each turn, he relied on his unparalleled precision control, super intuitive judgment, abnormal comprehensive information analysis ability, accumulated rich experience from several timelines, and his personal deep understanding of the internal layout of the ball ship to do all this.

Under his perfect control, every time he walked between life and death, he could turn the probability pointer to the good side.

In just thirty seconds, Chen Feng completed nearly 10,000 turns and changes in total. In terms of probability, the probability of him doing this is 0.5 to the power of 10,000.

This number is infinitely close to 0, but it is not 0 after all.

Thirty seconds later, fifteen antimatter bombs exploded in different places inside the spherical ship.

Now the core bombardment range of each high-performance antimatter bomb is 1,000 kilometers in diameter.

The overlapping fierce radiation and shock waves swept every inch of space inside the spherical ship.

This was the first thing Chen Feng did.

The second thing was that he used the Corona Hand Cannon to bombard the huge heart engine in the center of the spherical ship three times.

The third thing was that he broke into the four Fly Eyes hiding in the prismatic structure area inside the spherical ship based on biological monitoring positioning.

The fourth thing was that he killed hundreds of eight-legged beetles that blocked his way, and he kept dodging the pursuit of the blade mantises.

The fifth thing was that he had to avoid the bombardment of antimatter bombs. He had to find the perfect intersection point where the energy of all the bombs' explosions offset each other. Although he was not afraid of antimatter bombs with his current shield and armor performance, and the protection of the folding subspace membrane, he still saved a lot of energy.

Thirty seconds later, the huge spherical battleship finally lost its gravitational stability after its core components were continuously destroyed. It was first blown apart by antimatter bombs and Chen Feng's occasional random firing of the Corona hand cannon, and then began to collapse inwards layer by layer under the action of gravity, just like the destroyed Star Fortress.

The white giant cocoon outside also melted quickly like frost in the sun.

Perhaps, the purpose of the compound eye opening the giant cocoon was to lock Chen Feng inside. After all, in these thirty seconds, not only did the blade mantis return to the spherical battleship, but many other combat units such as dragonfly fighters also returned.

At that time, the commander of the spherical battleship thought he could win.

But now it is meaningless.

When the explosion finally subsided and the frozen cocoon completely disappeared, the old captain and others, who were 9 billion kilometers away, finally saw the scene over there again.

The 3,000-kilometer-diameter spherical battleship turned into a squeezed and twisted shape, like a can that was flattened by a reckless man. It was not only full of holes, but also had countless broken metal gaps standing out like broken swords in a sword grave.

The figure, who was only three meters tall, was using the wreckage of the spherical battleship as a cover to continue fighting.

He easily shuttled through the gaps and dealt with as many as 49 blade mantises.

After losing the mother ship, the blade mantises did not even think of escaping, but instead attacked with a more frantic attitude.

According to historical records, there were 55 compound eyes in the spherical battleship, but 54 of them were clones, and only one was really alive.

Now that Chen Feng destroyed the spherical battleship, the real living compound eyes was probably dead.

The blade mantis was no longer a real life. Its original body was dead, so it had no value to survive. Instead of running away, it was better to fight hard and try to kill this special human on the spot. At the very least, he had to hold him here and wait for the prism to arrive.

It seemed that Chen Feng was at a disadvantage, but he was not panicked at all at this time. His body of only three meters became his biggest advantage.

He could always turn around and dive into the narrow gap of the wreckage of the spherical battleship when he was accidentally surrounded and in danger.

The 55-meter-long blade mantis wanted to catch up with him, but it had to cut through obstacles along the way.

If it was a ship wreck made of other materials, the blade mantis would only need to continue to spray the beam of condensed energy explosion particles to easily evaporate the wreckage.

But unfortunately, the material of the spherical ship is the technology of the compound eyes. The half-biological and half-metal spherical ship shell has a strong suppressive effect on the spread of physical toxins. It can only explode slightly when sprayed out, and cannot continue to spread like destroying human fleets.

The compound eyes' own territory has become the best natural battlefield for Chen Feng.

Not only that, in the narrow space where the debris was crisscrossed, Chen Feng, who was "only" three meters tall, could still use his short-range folding ability as long as he controlled it accurately, but the blade mantis could not do that.

This seemingly unequal confrontation turned into a one-sided killing by Chen Feng alone.

Not only could he continuously defeat the blade mantises one after another, he could also occasionally clear out dragonfly fighters, eight-legged beetles, self-destructing flies, and small war beasts that could continuously spit out pure physical toxins, which were probably specifically responsible for cleaning up the battlefield.

This is the beauty of every step of mankind's journey against nature.

When you don't understand, those enemies from nature are like a flood of monsters.

But once human technology reaches a certain limit, after defeating the enemy for the first time, the once ferocious beasts will soon be easily tamed and suppressed.

For example, smallpox, which once ravaged the world and caused terrible tragedies in the Middle Ages, was simply a nightmare.

But one day, when humans discovered the secret of cowpox, this terrible disease that has caused the decline of civilization and the abandonment of cities countless times in history became a code name in history books.

Another example is cancer, which once made people shudder, representing despair, and was the sickle of the god of death slowly harvesting lives. But after the complete formation of biological gene scanning technology and targeted gene repair technology, the beneficial cancerization of human cells has become an effective treatment method to prolong life and overcome congenital genetic defects.

This is the case with the blade mantis at this time.

If you can't beat it, you can't beat it for the rest of your life.

But once Chen Feng beat it once in a duel, he can always win.

This is just the beginning.

As the fight between Chen Feng and the Blade Mantis continued, he gradually realized one thing.

He was too perfect.

Not only was his judgment perfect, but his overall consideration was also perfect. Every step he took accurately considered the entire battle situation.

All the details of this small-scale war were under his control, from the movements of the Blade Mantis to the lurking approach of each self-destructing fly.

Even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he knew everything in this small universe with a diameter of 10,000 kilometers.

He didn't need to see some places where his vision was blocked with his naked eyes. He only needed to deduce a little in his mind based on his previous grasp of the battle situation, and he could deduce every change with almost 100% accuracy.

For example, some eight-legged beetles hid behind the gaps, waiting to attack him when he flew over, but he couldn't hide it at all.

Chen Feng seemed to have a pair of wonderful "eyes" that looked down at this aspect of the universe.

He roughly understood what this state was.

His thoughts were connected to the "wisdom of the universe" invisibly.

He had been receiving prompts from the universe, which was exactly the same as in the previous timeline when he controlled the Starship Colossus to charge at the prism array, or even worse.

This was the second sublimation manifestation after the state of Colonial Magic War was deeply re-integrated with the brain that continued to increase the degree of genetic awakening.

Chen Feng once thought that he had lost the state of Colonial Magic War after he returned. After all, his appearance had not changed at all, and he could not judge.

Now he understood.

When his body was rebuilt in the 21st century, some of the bonus effects of the Colonial Magic War were actually preserved by the mysterious energy of the rebuilt body. It's just that there was no real battle before, so it could not be reactivated.

Now, when his awakening degree rushed to 46.66%, and he was in a fight between life and death for a long time, he finally reawakened all his abilities.

Ten minutes passed under the stunned gaze of countless people.

Chen Feng chopped off the head of the last blade mantis and took out a palm-sized ball from its body.

This "small-scale" encounter came to an end.

Chen Feng's eyes turned to the direction of Tianfeng No. 917.

He knew that someone there had been watching him.

He also knew that it was his own people.

Chen Feng did two things.

He raised his right hand high, and in the palm of his right armor was the folding core inside the blade mantis.

He then let the core hang in the air, and then he changed direction and grabbed another core.

He put the two cores together, and then took out an original heart core belonging to the Mi tribe from the inner layer of the folding armor, and put it together with the two cores of the blade mantis, and then put these things into a small directional empty shell missile and fired it in the direction of Tianfeng No. 917.

Then, Chen Feng went to a relatively well-preserved blade mantis body, put it into the package of the folding armor curvature bubble, accelerated, entered the hypercurved motion state, and flew far away.

In his armor storage box, there was actually a small "hair follicle".

These "hair follicles" are the carriers that can grow space-frozen long whiskers in the inner layer of the hull of the spherical ship.

Chen Feng's figure disappeared.

He must hurry.

Of course, it is not just humans who see this scene.

There must be at least one prismatic battleship of the Compound Eyes rushing here.

If Chen Feng does not reunite with Xiaofu as soon as possible and re-enter the medium layer, he will be caught up.

In the distance, the adjutant was disappointed and muttered to himself: "Why did he leave?"

The old captain thought for a while, "Probably because he is our secret weapon. The top leaders must have their own considerations. Anyway, there is hope, isn't it?"

In the conference room unknown to the old captain and others, the leadership of the Morning Wind Empire was also disappointed.

"It seems that the Sage... has no plans to contact us?"

"Alas."

"Why are you sighing! He succeeded! He proved one thing! The Compound Eyes want to destroy us and are afraid of us, and there is a reason for all this! Because we have the ability to be feared!" "

The Sage showed us the limits of human power! He once said that as long as humans are given time, we will be able to dominate the universe!"

"Yes, we have been losing ground all the way until today, which led me to question his words before, but I didn't dare to say it out loud. But now I am sure of this."

"He represents our upper limit, and he is also moving forward. Our progress compared to previous timelines represents humanity's perfect adaptability to the universe. We have the nature of eternally challenging the unknown, and we can absorb and learn endlessly!"

"Have you seen the predictions of the ancient philosophers? It's incredible. From the perspective of cosmic psychology, his thinking is at a higher level than that of the Gras people. His thoughts are connected to the wisdom of the universe. At that moment, every prediction he made was in line with the deduction of the laws of the universe. No matter how the combat units of the compound eyes designed him, they could not escape his predictions."

"It was even earlier. Didn't you pay attention to the eight black hole bombs he used to block the spherical battleship's folding technology? His prediction is particularly important."

"I know the reason. It's the Compound Eyes that are absorbing our war wisdom. This seems to be the progress of the Compound Eyes, but in fact, the Compound Eyes are being infiltrated by our thinking patterns and naturally fall into the control of the ancient sages."

"Hiss... So that's it! This is too..."

"Hahahaha, it's only natural! If you want to learn from us, you have to pay a price."

"Anyway, we see infinite possibilities in him, so we also see hope, don't we?"

"The people in that galaxy must be waiting for him, right? We still have some time, so let's keep holding on."

"One more thing, just now, our star fortress was discovered."

"Let it be discovered. Let the people on Tianfeng 917 get the things left by the ancient sage as quickly as possible to see what he wants to tell us."

"It's a pity that those things can't be brought back."

"It's okay. The ancient philosophers must have thought of this. What's important is not the physical object, but the information!"

Chen Feng did use this short opportunity to share some things with humans.

But he was just doing his best and leaving the rest to fate.

These things will definitely not be able to return to the Morning Wind Empire.

He just let the people in this timeline see where his and the Blade Mantis's ability to fold came from, which can probably inspire the thinking of humans and see if others can find another Mi tribe mind core somewhere else.
