Chapter 94 Star Region Tournament, Game 2 (Part 3)
"Hiss—" In the live broadcast room, the rabbit commentator couldn't help but gasp.
"A brutal yet direct fighting style," the plush rabbit spouted. "The military's fighting style is clearly different from that of the Star Navigation Competition teams! Their combat experience is also far greater than that of most of the contestants!"
"We know! Most of the people who sign up for the Star Navigation Competition are young! The registration criteria for the Star Navigation Competition require that participating teams cannot have more than five years of experience in star navigation with the military, the Star Navigation Department, or officially certified exploration teams. Therefore, most of the participants are still students or star navigators who have just joined the exploration team!"
"We are the gatekeepers, but we are all experienced pilots and observers! This is also a rare opportunity for us to witness their prowess in public!"
"Their level of control over mental power, their use of mental transformation and mental properties...all opened my eyes!"
"Same! I'm also looking forward to seeing how our contestants will respond!"
"The Water Polo Team has reappeared from the starting starport! They should be careful! There are no repair points on this virtual star map! If the starship's damage reaches 100%, it will be disqualified... Oh oh oh! Let's take our eyes off the Water Polo for a moment!"
"Colorful! About to arrive at Starport No. 8!——"
"Colorful was attacked too!"
The gatekeeper's data transmission was completed in an instant, the space vibrated, and the artillery fire began to accumulate energy at the same time.
"Brother Mu!—" The bright blue spiritual energy covering the starship's surface was the first to detect the change in the surrounding energy field. Mingyu glanced out the window and said, "Left!—"
A streak of deep pink fire suddenly appeared from the darkness of space. At the same time, a large starship covered in dark grey metal armor emerged from the universe.
Its body was sharply angular, like a perfectly regular rectangular block, its bridge rising tall between its two tail fins. In the center of the bridge sat a single, slender gun barrel, gleaming with a vibrant pink glow.
The moment Mingyu saw its agreement, the dark gray starship's artillery firepower had been charged in just three seconds.
The colorful silver starship suddenly tilted to the left. Mingyu's pupils reflected the pink outside the porthole. In the dark universe, he saw the bright artillery fire brushing against the starship's tail, but it did not dissipate in the distance.
Instead, it slid along a shimmering curve and suddenly turned around!
"This is a tracking model!" Red Hair said in a loud voice, "It's not too new! But their guns charge up very quickly-"
The pink light cannon drew a line in the black universe. When the first cannon fire just passed the silver starship, the second cannon fire was already in sight.
One after another, pink beams emerged from the darkness, like brilliantly colored ribbons, closely following the silver-white starship as it sailed forward, as if to entwine and envelop it...
"Colorful didn't fire!" the plush rabbit shouted. "Of course, Lucé has obviously realized that their muzzle charge rate can't keep up with the enemy's artillery fire rate."
"It's not because the colorful muzzle accumulator is outdated... Actually, I heard that the Space Navigation Department tried using LUCE's energy reflector and the results were good! They're already planning to purchase LUCE's designed accumulator... Ah, I'm getting off topic."
"The high-speed firepower of this gray starship originates from its starship pilot, Anser. And the gatekeeper of Space Station 7 is the 'Night Rose', a craft from the First Legion!"
"Oh my goodness." Rabbit's face showed a nostalgic expression. After only glancing at the information screen, he began to chatter non-stop, "Younger viewers may not remember much about this team! But... this was twenty years ago! The third-place team in the Star Navigation Competition! An S-class psychic pilot with the special abilities of 'overweight' and 'overspeed'! And an S-class observer with the same ability of 'tracking'..."
"These pink streamers of fire! Will continue to accumulate around the colorful ones! Blocking the starship's vision! Pursuing the starship's position!"
"And Anser's level of mental control... twenty years ago! She was able to control more than twenty beams of mental artillery! Now that number has undoubtedly increased! When these entangled ribbons accumulate to a sufficient thickness to cover the hull of the starship..."
"I'm really worried about the colorful ones!"
The engines at the rear of the silver starship glowed bright white.
They were moving rapidly towards the docking port of the spaceport ahead, and within just a few seconds, the pink ribbons of fire surrounding the outside of the starship overlapped layer by layer, as if covering his mental power with an outer layer that was difficult to break through, gradually isolating his mental vision.
Ming Yu frowned slightly, and the blue spiritual power covering the outer layer of the starship flashed with a strong light, suddenly surging upwards -
"Oh! It's LUCE!!" the rabbit commentator yelled, "LUCE obviously wants to devour these pink ribbons! So close to his own starship! He can't possibly use Devouring Explosion. LUCE probably just wants to clear out these annoying artillery fire..."
"Anser didn't let him have his way!"
Bright blue and pink collided, engulfing large areas of pink light bands, but more light bands surged inward.
Mingyu clearly felt the strain of swallowing. The other party's control over his mental power was so superb that the pink threads of mental power quickly fled the moment they collided with his...
What's even stranger is that he feels like his mental power is losing control!
The thread of mental power that Mingyu had used with great skill seemed to have returned to the state when he first awakened his mental power. It fell downwards against his will and landed on the hull of his own starship.
A pink psychic cannonball then escaped from the bright blue light thread and immediately brushed past the hull of the starship.
In a flash, Mingyu realized the reason and shouted, "Don't fire yet! Brother Mu——"
The silver starship's main gun muzzle was silent, while at the same time, the bright pink light cannon burned a faint burn mark on the colorful starship's hull.
The silver starship suddenly sank.
It was as if a weight of tens of thousands of pounds suddenly pressed down upon the massive starship, forcing it to sink half a meter. The hull of the starship, grazed by the pink cannon fire, dented downward, as if it hadn't just been a silent scrape, but rather a godlike giant pounding down with a heavy hammer!
"Gravity." Mu Baixing looked indifferent.
The moment he opened his mouth, the pink bands of light surrounding the starship pressed inwards simultaneously—
They were being wrapped in a bright pink flowing cocoon, which was being squeezed inward by the surrounding light cannons, and together with the starship, they became a thin flat sheet.
They had no room to hide and could not fire.
Because all the energy particles will fall towards the hull of their own starship the moment they come into contact with Anser's mental power due to the surrounding gravity field, which is hundreds or thousands of times higher than the normal gravity field, and will penetrate their own starship.
"The best way to escape the Night Rose is to attack them before the encirclement is formed, disrupt Anser, and seize the opportunity to break out," the plush rabbit lamented. "Of course, this requires extremely high piloting skills and the performance of the starship's engine... More importantly, we have to seize the first second that Anser opens fire! Because the opportunity is fleeting!"
"And this kind of counterattack mentality is obviously completely contrary to the goals of the participating teams!"
"Every team prioritized reaching the docking station before the station, rather than defeating the gatekeepers who suddenly appeared. Because of this mindset, the colorful team lost their chance to survive, and they clearly wouldn't be the only team to fall into Anser's trap..."
"Team..." The plush rabbit's words suddenly stopped.
Because the pink light cannon streamer that was originally winding inward suddenly paused for a moment.
It was just a brief pause.
In the Dark Night Rose, pilot Anser's brows furrowed. In her mental field of vision, all the laser cannons suddenly lost their response.
It was as if some special energy wave blocked her mental perception.
In the universe that should have been silent, there seemed to be a low humming sound.
The energy is vibrating.
Mingyu puffed out his cheeks and said with some dissatisfaction, "I didn't expect the ultimate move to be used so early..."
The silver starship's main gun barrel lit up.
From the slender gun barrel, like a strip of light, came tightly intertwined and mixed golden and blue light.
And before the light flowed out of the barrel, before it was about to touch the pink light band pressing down, they intertwined and resonated, making a silent whistle.
As a result, a bright white energy wave was generated from it. When the mental fire surged out, and before the golden-blue mental power and pink intertwined, it spread outward at an unimaginable speed.
The distance between particles was redefined, and the bright pink light cannon energy was dispersed at high speed in an instant.
No load, no matter how heavy, can put a yoke on them.
Mingyu then felt again that he and Mu Baixing were closely connected.
After countless times of practice, he and Mu Boxing finally learned to be unreserved in the resonance of mental power without losing themselves.
They belong to each other, affectionate but also clear, intimate but also free...
Because they belong to each other, they have the power to resist everything and do everything.
In the live broadcast room, the commentator Rabbit's eyes widened in an instant.
In the lounge of the Killer and Eggplant teams, who were closely watching the colorful movements, everyone couldn't help but lean forward and stand up from the sofa.
Bai Xiang, the captain of the Killer Team, frowned, and every muscle in his body was tense, as if even through the light screen, he could feel the terrifying energy waves emanating from within.
And no one could feel it more directly than Anser.
"That's..." She couldn't help but move her lips, and subconsciously uttered words of exclamation. The observer sitting next to her trembled all over and shouted loudly: "Dodge! - Sister An!! -"
At this second, the pink light band surrounding the silver starship was instantly shaken apart in all directions.
The tightly packed energy cannons dispersed instantly, turning into countless pieces of scattered sand with no offensive power, expanding outward into the universe.
Bright white light waves penetrated the sand and illuminated the vast darkness, like a rising sun.
In the center of the white light, a golden-blue mental cannon burst out, burning with flames and rolling up a large wave of energy—
The surging psychic resonance energy cannon was too fast for her to completely dodge. In a brief moment, Anser pulled the starship upwards and the energy cannon fired again.
Then, unsurprisingly, they were dispersed by the opponent's attack.
In the blink of an eye, a golden-blue energy beam was in front of the starship, piercing the gray starship's right rear wing. The huge thrust generated by the artillery fire penetrating the starship pushed the gray starship sideways, revealing the space station docking port behind it.
The bursting pipes of the gray starship were ignited by golden-blue energy.
At the same time, flames spurted out from the colorful starship's tail thrusters, sending it into the docking port of Space Station No. 8 with maximum thrust.
"Ding—Colorful completed the information transmission to Space Station No. 7—"
An information plug extended from the front of the starship, exchanging communication signals with the space station's information hub, and a similar green indicator light lit up in the universe.
Immediately afterwards, the space station docking port orbit turned, sending the silver starship back to the take-off orbit.
The overlapping golden and blue mental waves did not extinguish, but instead spread outward.
As the silver starship set sail again, the golden-blue mental power coated the outside of the starship with a dazzling bright light film, igniting a flame visible to the naked eye, forming a barrier that could not be penetrated by anything and protected the starship.
"The resonance time is limited... the plan has changed!" Mingyu shouted, "Brother Mu! Take a shortcut--"
The silver starship, soaring through the universe like a white bird, turned and, in full view of the crowd, abandoned its original safe route and suddenly headed for the shortcut from Space Station 7 to Space Station 2.
Inside a terrifying cosmic storm cloud.
