135: Firepower Suppression

"Strange…" Zhang Huaiyuan frowned slightly, a bit puzzled.

The opponent occupied a defensive advantage and had so many advanced defensive armaments; why would they use such a risky tactic right from the start? They were even willing to risk the total destruction of their fleet.

However, this was exactly what he wanted.

After all, if this group of powerful Transcendent were scattered throughout the galaxy, it would be more troublesome. Instead, solving them all at once now would leave no future worries.

On the other side, in the general command room of the Kulha Star System, Elo, the leader of the Yalik Family, watched the Transcendent legion getting closer and closer under the desperate cover of the fleet, a hint of excitement and anticipation appearing in his eyes.

In his view, the opponent was a person put forward by the Supreme Research Institute, hiding countless era-spanning weapons; the risk of a frontal battle was too great, so it was better to take a gamble.

"No matter how many tricks you're hiding, once you're dead, they'll all be mine."

Elo sneered, picked up the communicator, and gave the order:

"It's time, do it!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the hatch of an inconspicuous starship quietly opened. Dozens of figures flew out rapidly, passing through the dozens of intercepting fleets without hesitation, heading straight for the command ship where Zhang Huaiyuan was located.

"Hmm? Do they have tracking-type Transcendent abilities?"

A sharp light flashed in Zhang Huaiyuan's eyes as he scanned the incoming crowd.

…Mastered Ability: Tracking — A special Transcendent ability that consumes a certain cost to find the specific location of an object or life form. The stronger the opponent, the greater the cost.

"So that's it, but just knowing my whereabouts is useless."

Zhang Huaiyuan watched the approaching Transcendent squad and snapped his fingers lightly.

Immediately, arcs of electricity flashed from the starships on both sides, and "Invisible Nets" fell onto the path the Transcendent squad had to take.

Several S-Class Transcendent were caught off guard and plunged right in, their expressions changing slightly.

"Not good, there's a trap!"

"Hmph, mere parlor tricks."

The leading SS-Class Transcendent, Urla, snorted coldly and took out two gray gloves from his pocket and put them on.

He pressed his palms together and then slowly pulled them apart.

Instantly, all the electric arc force fields were split in two and lost their effect.

After doing this, he suddenly clenched his fist, gathering all the split electric currents onto his gloves, and swung them heavily.

More than a dozen intercepting starships were instantly shattered from their stealth state and exploded directly.

"To think he can even manipulate the electric current that makes up the Invisible Net; he is worthy of being an SS-Class Transcendent."

Zhang Huaiyuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

It seems the "legend generation ii" starship still needs improvement; the composition of the "Invisible Net" should be able to switch to multiple forms of energy to avoid being destroyed by counter-measures.

In addition, perhaps each starship could be equipped with a trigger-based Warp Device.

Once it receives a fatal blow, it would immediately trigger and teleport to the rear. This way, whether facing high-level Transcendent or large-scale combat, losses could be significantly reduced.

"Let's prepare a retreat path first, then come back to meet them."

Zhang Huaiyuan suppressed the thoughts in his mind, and with a thought, a brand-new Warp Device appeared under his feet.

With another point of his finger, hundreds of combat robots materialized from the void.

Unlike conventional mechas, they were dark gold in color and made from the material with the highest insulation he knew of.

"Go."

Instantly, hundreds of dark gold robots sprang up their kinetic light blades and slashed toward Urla.

Having just dodged the clustered light beams from the surrounding starships, Urla waved his hand dismissively, sending out a bolt of lightning.

Boom!

Except for the few mechas at the very front that were thrown thousands of meters away by the powerful impact, their chest metal completely dented and the joints of their power-mechanical legs broken, the remaining hundreds crashed right through the electric current, unscathed, and slashed down at the enemy.

"Eh…"

Urla's expression paused; he didn't seem to expect that mere mechas could withstand his attack without being destroyed, and were unaffected by his thunder.

Feeling the sharp blade energy, he hesitated slightly and chose not to take it head-on, his figure turning directly into a bolt of lightning to flash out of the encirclement.

"Die!"

Flashing to the side, Urla clenched his gray gloves tightly, and an arc of electricity a hundred times thicker than before swept across the sky.

Bang!

The Ion Shields of the dozen mechas at the very front were instantly shattered, and their entire bodies were shaken into fragments. However, after this buffer, the kinetic energy of the electric arc was significantly reduced, and after knocking away more than twenty more mechas, it dissipated into solidified electric currents that danced wildly.

But for this type of specially made robot, this originally greatest killer move was completely useless.

They passed through the electric lake without dodging or avoiding, continuing to attack the opponent.

"A shell made of material comparable to JY-9…"

Urla frowned. After two tests, he finally discovered something wrong; these were weapons specifically manufactured against him.

Under normal circumstances, he naturally wouldn't be afraid. Even if they were immune to thunder damage, with his strength, he could crush them with pure power alone.

However, now that he was deep in enemy territory, if he consumed too much power, he would face the risk of falling when confronted by the siege of thousands of powerful starships.

"Leave these to you to deal with."

With a flash of lightning, he dodged the attack again and quickly ordered the remaining S-Class Transcendent.

"Yes, Lord Urla."

Saying this, the other Transcendent prepared to fly forward to deal with the remaining combat robots.

However, before they could arrive, countless huge metal plates descended from the sky, separating everyone one by one.

These metal plates were of different colors and possessed different characteristics, including "fire resistance" and "ice resistance."

At the same time, combat robots specifically constructed to counter them also appeared in real-time.

"Finish them off."

Zhang Huaiyuan held the empowerment stone in one hand, the light in his eyes becoming increasingly brilliant.

With his True Sight ability combined with his Mechanical Armament Master class change, he could easily find the weaknesses of all enemies and create targeted weapons.

Behind him, portals appeared and disappeared, and countless high-quality energy stones were continuously transported from various planets, then converted into the power of the empowerment stone.

He waved his hand, and those combat robots that had been destroyed by the Transcendent rematerialized and joined the battlefield.

These robots were each loaded with a Transcendent enchantment of the "Blade Soul" ability. Even Urla, as an SS-Class Strongest, felt uncomfortable if hit, and could only rely on his immense power to forcibly shatter them.

And those S-Class Strongest had it even worse.

Most of them only had upper-tier abilities, their strength similar to Leios who was once in the "Blackstone Star System." Facing the endlessly reviving, targeted combat robots, their power was rapidly being consumed.

"Damn it, if this continues, we'll be worn down sooner or later."

Urla looked at the enemies he had worked so hard to kill appearing again, a hint of gravity in his eyes.

He suddenly turned his body, his gaze locked remotely on the command ship where Zhang Huaiyuan was located, the thunder power within his body boiling and converting into pure Transcendent spiritual energy.

"Die!"

With a roar, a terrifying force erupted under the augmentation of T6-Class Transcendent equipment.

Hundreds of newly materialized robots were instantly crushed into powder. The thick metal partitions constructed were also pierced through one by one.

This force, with its momentum undiminished, headed straight for the command ship where the target was located.

"Well come."

Zhang Huaiyuan moved his mind, and hundreds of high-power railguns materialized. Behind him, tons of high-quality energy stones burned out continuously, turning into vast energy that spewed out.

At this moment, the power of technology and the power of the Transcendent began a frontal clash.

Boom!

The intense energy aftermath shattered everything nearby.

The full-force strike of an SS-Class Strongest augmented by T6-Class equipment actually pushed the combined attack of hundreds of railguns into a steady retreat.

"I want to see who can afford to keep this up."

Zhang Huaiyuan also felt a surge of ruthlessness in his heart. More Warp portals opened behind him, and the empowerment stone in his hand erupted with brilliant light, manifesting hundreds more railguns.

"If a hundred aren't enough, then a thousand! Die!"
