Chapter 260 The Clash Between Experience and Technology
"It's you!"
The moment Youying heard Su Chen's voice, her pupils suddenly contracted.
An even stronger surge of anger and humiliation than when he was betrayed by the Star Devouring Cult rushed to his head.
He finally understood!
From the chaos at the Void Relics Market, I fell into a meticulously designed trap!
The one who lured him into the trap with the Soul-Gathering Orchid, then stole the fragments of the map amidst the chaos.
The mysterious force that has now appeared before him like a ghost is not the Star Devouring Cult at all!
Instead, it was an "indigenous civilization" that he had never taken seriously and even thought he could destroy at will!
"Impossible... This is absolutely impossible!"
Shadow stared intently at the magnificent fleet on the screen, his mind nearly collapsing.
"How could a primitive civilization that hasn't even ventured beyond the star system possess a fleet of this caliber?"
"Who are you? Who exactly are you?"
He couldn't understand it, nor could he accept it.
This completely overturned his understanding of what it means to be a reborn person.
In his past life's memories, Earth's civilization faced numerous difficulties and setbacks on its journey to the stars.
It wasn't until the very end that they managed to acquire a few dilapidated ships capable of interstellar travel.
But the fleet before him, in terms of size, technological level, and the chilling aura that only battle-hardened elites could possess, far surpassed the Earth civilization he remembered by hundreds of times!
"Who I am is unimportant." Su Chen's voice remained calm.
"The important thing is, you now only have two choices: surrender or die."
"Surrender? Hahaha!" The shadowy figure let out a maniacal laugh.
"You want me to surrender to a bunch of rats hiding in the gutter? Dream on!"
His pride as the "chosen one" in his previous life made it impossible for him to bow down to a force outside the "plot".
"I admit, I underestimated you." The shadow's eyes hardened again.
"But you underestimate me! Do you think you can defeat a warrior who has experienced countless interstellar wars with some advanced warships? How naive!"
Before he could finish speaking, Shadow slammed his hand on the control panel!
"All energy, into the gravity generator! Target, port 3 o'clock, C-7 Broken Ring! Pull it over here!"
The few remaining engines of the Shadow Claw emitted a mournful wail.
An invisible gravitational wave shot towards the planetary debris belt composed of countless giant meteorites not far away!
This was a judgment he made instantly, as a seasoned veteran.
The enemy fleet was well-organized and had powerful firepower. In a head-on confrontation, my dilapidated ship couldn't even withstand a single salvo.
The only way out is to create chaos!
By utilizing this complex asteroid belt, disrupt the enemy's formation and lock-on, and buy yourself a final chance to charge towards the "Star Destroyer"!
"boom--"
The immense gravity instantly shattered the fragile balance of that star ring.
Tens of thousands of massive meteorites, ranging from tens of meters to several kilometers in size, roared and tumbled like an enraged swarm of bees.
It rained down on the Earth fleet!
This is a man-made "meteorite storm" capable of covering millions of kilometers of airspace!
When faced with a natural disaster of this scale, any conventional fleet's only option is to take emergency evasive action, which will inevitably cause its formation to break apart.
"Well done, Captain!" the Shadow's first officer shouted excitedly.
"Everyone, watch closely! This is the power of experience!"
A smug, sinister smile crept across the shadowy face:
"These rookies have no idea what real interstellar warfare is! Now's the time to go full speed ahead!"
Trailing black smoke, the "Shadow Claw" charged desperately toward the flank of the meteor storm, like a lame giant.
However, the scene he had envisioned—the Earth fleet scrambling and fleeing in disarray—did not materialize.
On the bridge of the flagship "Pangu", Su Chen looked at the sea of meteorites rushing in, his face expressionless.
"Prophet, calculate the trajectories of all meteorites and mark high-threat targets."
"Calculation complete. 13,724 high-threat targets have been marked."
"Order the 'Houyi' class destroyers to conduct the first round of precision point defense."
"Command the 'Kuafu'-class corvettes to deploy their linked gravitational fields to deflect the remaining small debris. 'Pangu' main guns, clear a safe passage."
Each instruction was clearly conveyed in less than a second.
The next second, the Earth fleet moved.
The hundreds of warships did not disperse; instead, they coordinated in an extremely precise manner.
On both sides of the hulls of dozens of "Houyi"-class destroyers, countless laser turrets sprayed out dense energy beams like raindrops.
A web of death was woven ahead of the fleet.
The massive meteorites marked as high threat were precisely hit in the core and shattered into countless fragments as soon as they entered the firing range.
Immediately afterwards, more "Kuafu"-class corvettes simultaneously activated the gravitational deflection field at their bows.
These force fields are interconnected, forming a huge, invisible "wall".
The smaller, stray meteorite fragments that slipped through the net had their trajectories altered as they approached the fleet, grazing its edges.
The most impressive part is the bow of the "Pangu".
The terrifyingly large main cannon did not fire a destructive beam, but instead emitted gentle, tentacle-like gravitational pulses.
Each pulse precisely "grabs" a giant meteorite blocking its path, then gently and steadily pushes it aside.
The entire fleet was like a red-hot sword.
Without slowing down in the slightest, they carved out an absolutely safe passage through that terrifying meteor storm!
The entire process was fluid and seamless, brimming with a powerful yet precise technological aesthetic.
Not a single warship was damaged, and even the energy of their shields didn't decrease much.
"No...it's impossible..."
The smug look on Youying's face froze instantly.
His supposedly invaluable "experience" seemed as laughable as children playing house in front of the other party.
Not only was the opponent's formation not disrupted, but they also easily resolved this "natural disaster" in a way he had never heard of before!
This precise manipulation of gravitational fields, this terrifying computing and execution power... this is no longer a matter of technological gap, it is a clash of war philosophies from two different eras!
In the instant that Youying was distracted, Su Chen's flagship "Pangu" emerged from the meteor storm and once again aimed its cold cannons at him.
"You have a wealth of experience."
Su Chen's voice rang out again, this time with a hint of amusement:
"This kind of surprise attack tactic that utilizes the environment and creates chaos is very similar to the style of a certain god general known as the 'Lord of War' in ancient Earth mythology."
Su Chen's words struck Youying's soul like a bolt of lightning!
Lord of War... Divine General...
That was the core inheritance he obtained in his previous life in some lost ancient Earth ruins!
It is also the tactical system that made him famous!
This secret could not possibly be known to anyone other than himself!
How...how did he know?
The shadowy figure suddenly raised its head and looked at the massive flagship, fear appearing in its eyes for the first time.
He realized that the other party knew far more about him than he had imagined.
This mysterious "mastermind" not only knew his plan, but also his destination.
They even know his biggest secret!
"Who...who are you?"
The shadow's voice was now trembling uncontrollably.
"The game is over."
Su Chen did not answer his question: "Now, it's my turn to make a move."
Before he finished speaking, the engines of dozens of Earth warships simultaneously overloaded.
Transforming into streaks of light, they surrounded the "Shadow Claw" from all directions, completely sealing off all his escape routes.
Despair, like icy seawater, engulfed the shadows.
He knew he had nowhere to run.
"Since that's the case..."
In the shadowy figure's eyes, the last shred of reason was replaced by madness: "Then let's go to hell together!"
He slammed the spaceship's control stick all the way down, abandoning all evasion and defense.
Using up their last bit of energy, they launched a desperate charge towards the massive gas giant that was dormant with natural disasters!
