Chapter 410 Crushed
Hearing the word "unknown", Chen Ming and the legion commander, who had just learned that Bai Ying's final departure direction was the empire, immediately understood what happened at the headquarters.
Without any unnecessary communication or inquiry, Chen Ming directly controlled the highest point and jumped in the direction of the frontline headquarters.
It only took less than a minute to return to the galaxy where the headquarters was located.
However, when Chen Ming arrived at the highest point of the jump, the sensors could only see the destruction of the Legion space station in the galaxy. On the surface of the planet surrounding the space station, there were traces of narrow and long divisions almost all over the entire planet.
At this time, the legion commander had received subsequent reports from some external fleets one after another, indicating that the culprit causing all this was a white shadow.
Although the white shadow appeared for a very short time, the damage it caused was terrible.
Not only what Chen Ming saw at this time, but even the signal base station in hyperspace had been destroyed.
The signal network between the front line and the rear has been cut off, and the command headquarters has completely lost contact with the outside world.
The legion couldn't even contact the rear to provide additional troops.
This is probably the most urgent situation in the empire in recent decades.
Chen Minggang wanted to clarify the situation with the regiment commander and divide their respective responsibilities to deal with what happened now.
But before he could make any move, a white light flashed through his perception.
The next moment.
The highest point Chen Ming was riding on was torn apart by an external force.
From the bow to the stern, it was cut in half from the center, and then chopped into three pieces by subsequent slashes in an instant.
And the force of this slashing attack didn't just act on the spacecraft, it also accurately acted on Chen Ming's body inside the spacecraft.
Chen Ming's body was split into two from the waist.
This sudden attack brought danger to him before he even had time to feel it.
Even before the pain nerves could transmit the pain of being severed to the brain of the body, his body was already broken,
The legion commander on the side let out a muffled groan, and the military uniform he was wearing was torn apart in an instant.
However, the legion commander was not cut in half like Chen Ming, but the broken military uniform revealed a red mark on the skin sloping from the left shoulder to the right kidney.
The physical strength of the legion commander seems to have exceeded that of the battleship.
Although he was not seriously injured, he immediately realized Chen Ming's condition.
His expression changed and he quickly asked Chen Ming, "Are you okay?"
Chen Ming reached out to help his severed body to prevent the upper half of his body from falling to the ground. He sighed: "It's so fast."
Before, just by looking at the images of those white shadows and the damage they actually caused, he already felt that they were moving very fast.
I didn't expect that this speed would be even more terrifying when faced with it in person.
His thinking speed at this time was completely unable to keep up with this thing.
He must liberate the thinking speed that is usually restricted for the convenience of life and accelerate his thinking speed to a truly ordinary level.
Only in this way can we react enough.
While Chen Ming was using mental power to stimulate his consciousness and speed up his thinking, he responded to the legion commander: "It's okay, it doesn't matter even if this body is gone. Did you feel it just now?"
"I feel it. There are spiritual energy fluctuations, but there is no actual physical contact. And I just saw it clearly."
"Well, it's definitely a psychic spaceship."
As Chen Ming spoke, he released a large amount of metallic liquid, stabilizing the highest point that was crumbling like his body.
Then he used spiritual energy on his body, trying to repair it.
But he suddenly discovered that near his waist, where Bai Ying had cut it off, the body tissue had become very shriveled.
Whether it was the skin, muscles, or severed organs, this happened.
Look at the legion commander again.
The torn clothes on his body also showed signs of being corroded and broken by some force.
Logically speaking, this kind of attack that is enough to cut off a battleship does not require any other power assistance at all. The crack marks left behind should be extremely smooth, and there should not be such a broken gap at all.
And take a closer look.
On the red mark left by the chop on the legion commander's body, a small layer of skin tissue had broken away from the body and was torn off by the legion commander.
Chen Ming immediately said: "The effect of this psychic effect is not only on metal products, but also on other things, even life."
"This is not like pure corrosion..."
"What do you mean? Are you talking about me?"
"My physical fitness is too strong. When I am injured, the wound will be repaired quickly. The skin tissue that originally fell off slowly over a few days will all fall off in a short time, so it looks like this."
< br>
Chen Ming shook his head and said: "It's not just your side. I'm not sure yet. Let's take another look."
There is a feeling of being ready to judge the effect of psychic energy, but there is still something missing, and there is still no way to accurately judge it.
The legion commander had no objection to this. Sometimes speaking out wrong ideas might mislead others, and there was nothing wrong with Chen Ming's consideration.
And there are obviously more important things now.
Bai Ying disappeared again just after he raided the highest point.
But obviously it still exists in this galaxy.
Before the legion commander could speak.
After repairing the body and the highest point, Chen Ming said to the legion commander: "I'm going to chase that white shadow. You go and see how the headquarters is doing now."
"Okay."
The legion commander did not feel any discomfort at being commanded by Chen Ming and immediately agreed.
Chen Ming put his hand on his shoulder and used his spiritual energy to send the legion commander to the headquarters on the planet.
In this way, his attention can be fully focused on the white figure.
At this time, the spacecraft's sensors could see the White Shadow moving back and forth between the planet and the universe, tearing apart the planet where the headquarters was located and also tearing apart the fleets between galaxies.
The core of the ship with four diamond-shaped structures is like two sharp boomerangs intertwined, destroying everything in its path.
However, I don’t know if the empire removed all the mechanical clan units, which caused the white shadow to be unable to contact the nearby mechanical clan.
Chen Ming received the news from the legion commander who had just arrived on the surface that the headquarters had not been destroyed yet. Obviously Bai Ying did not attack the headquarters accurately.
And for some reason, Bai Ying was not as fast as before after running back and forth between the planet and the universe several times.
Even some warships could barely keep up with its speed and then tried to attack Bai Ying.
However, the actual effect obviously has no effect at all.
This white shadow gives people the appearance of playing tricks on the Imperial fleet.
No, this is not teasing, this is testing.
It has been speculated just now that this white shadow is most likely a spacecraft sent by the Machine Tribe for reconnaissance. We must test the empire as much as possible.
The content of the test will of course include the empire's fleet, border defense, reaction time, combat effectiveness, etc.
And assuming that the mechanical tribe has taken control of Yuhui, then the mechanical tribe will definitely be aware of the many years of war between Yuhui and the empire.
Then through Yuhui's understanding of the front lines of the Fourteenth Legion, they can learn about the empire's information in disguised form.
Both the initial test and the data compiled before the test found that the empire's strength was far lower than expected. In order to test out more possible hidden methods, it should be reasonable for the machine race to proactively reduce its combat effectiveness.
Chen Ming probably guessed the reason for the change in the white shadow, and he immediately had an idea in his mind.
He couldn't let Bai Ying continue like this.
Not to mention temptation, he didn't want to let it happen even if Bai Ying might cause any damage.
As for the means to deal with such high-speed spacecraft that cannot be effectively pursued at all, the only solution is space capabilities.
Chen Ming's spiritual energy was released.
In the blink of an eye, it was spread all over the planet of the headquarters and the nearby large space environment.
Bai Ying has already slowed down his speed to a level that ordinary people can react with the help of the spacecraft's instruments and equipment.
Then how could Chen Ming not take advantage of this opportunity.
Following the path of the white shadow in his psychic perception, Chen Ming saw the right moment and distorted an entire narrow cage-shaped space.
The moment the white shadow rushed into this space, it blocked its only escape route.
Bai Ying didn't seem to notice Chen Ming's movements at the first time. It didn't slow down at all and hit the edge of Chen Ming's twisted space.
After a brief delay, Bai Ying's hull twisted and deformed due to the distortion of space.
That moment of lag made Chen Ming almost think he had encountered some new type of mechanical Leviathan.
Although it was only for a moment, it was enough to see that the white shadow's armor could even resist the power of space distortion in a short period of time.
Fortunately, it is not so terrifying after all, and is still restricted in place by this space-distorting force.
This allowed Chen Ming to further release his spiritual energy and distort the space within the spatial cage.
The White Shadow Battleship, which was still retreating, immediately hit the twisted space that was constantly compressing its area of movement.
The ship's hull was once again squeezed by space distortion.
But at this moment.
Chen Ming suddenly discovered that the armor and structure on the front of the white shadow that had been crushed by space distortion had all been restored to their original state.
The armor of the ship behind the ship that had just been affected by Chen Ming's expanded space distortion range was repaired almost instantly.
This time it was not the effect of psychic energy, because Chen Ming saw countless extremely active nano-robots repairing Bai Ying's body.
It almost made the repair efficiency equal to the efficiency of space distortion crushing it.
It gives people the feeling that it can even endure space distortion and continue to exist.
However, in the end, the efficiency of Bai Ying's nanorobots was still inferior to the stable and continuous spatial distortion.
A large number of Baiying's hull structures were shattered due to the distortion of space, and it seemed that they would be completely restricted soon.
But Chen Ming always felt that things would not be that simple.
As his psychic energy continued to function, the structure of Bai Ying trapped in the twisted space suddenly changed drastically again.
But this change is not caused by the effect of space distortion.
It was a change that Bai Ying himself took the initiative to make.
The original rigid materials of Baiying's ship structure were all converted into flexible materials, which "flowed" out of Chen Ming's twisted space like running water.
After flowing out, the white image flew out instantly like a soft white gel.
In this process, those flexible structures returned to rigid structures in a very short period of time.
It broke away from the limitations of Chen Ming's spiritual energy and broke away from Chen Ming's tracking.
With such an ability, unless Chen Ming chooses to directly tear apart the space and create a spatial fault, there is no way to limit it.
But Chen Ming didn't want to have the consequences of tearing the space again in a short period of time, just in case the tearing of the space failed to trap Bai Ying.
Then Chen Ming will face two huge troubles at the same time.
The only thing that can be said is that it will take a little time for Bai Ying to convert the material properties of the ship.
If we seize this opportunity, we might be able to completely restrict it.
Of course, the premise is that Bai Ying will give him another chance.
Chen Ming looked in the direction where Bai Ying fled and disappeared. If this white shadow really came for testing, then it should be back soon.
Just as Chen Ming was thinking this, he saw traces of white shadows appearing in the galaxy again.
As expected, it didn't leave completely, it just circled back after getting rid of Chen Ming's control.
Continue to attack the legion fleet groups in the system.
After instantly destroying a fleet of hundreds of spaceships, it suddenly rushed towards the planet where the Legion's frontline headquarters was located in the galaxy.
And it attacked the headquarters position with great precision.
Chen Minggang was a little worried about the situation at the legion commander's side, and then he noticed a grand and wild psychic fluctuation on the surface of the planet.
The trajectory of the white shadow that originally rushed to the surface suddenly stopped.
The next moment, Bai Ying was repelled by some powerful force and flew backwards.
A new trajectory was formed that was almost at an acute angle to the original trajectory towards the surface.
Even in the early part of this trajectory, the white shadow was rubbed against the planet's atmosphere, producing a dazzling fire. It was not until the white shadow was knocked away to the edge of the galaxy that the flames gradually extinguished.
It looked like he was stopped by the legion commander.
Chen Ming thought this silently.
The white shadow that was pushed back to the edge of the galaxy changed direction again and rushed towards Chen Ming's highest point.
The distance within the galaxy was nothing to Bai Ying, leaving Chen Ming little time to react.
But after Chen Ming left the scope of daily life and stimulated his mental power, his thinking speed returned to normal thinking speed, and even strengthened.
He had time to react.
His psychic energy instantly created a twisted space near the highest point, and when Bai Ying collided head-on, a new cage space was created.
This time Bai Ying was not fooled and just passed by.
At this moment of passing by, subtle spatial fluctuations occurred inside the highest point, and a missile-like object the size of a person was sent in.
Chen Ming instantly arrived at the location where the missile was dropped, and reached out to touch it before it exploded.
This was a large canister that flashed rapidly with pink-purple light. It was also the missile launched by Bai Ying, and it was also the source of the destruction of the warships that Chen Ming saw.
This missile is called [Induction Air Mine], and it is not a purely psychic creation.
It was just teleported.
Chen Ming is not in a hurry to analyze the effect and principle of this induction air mine.
What he has to do now is to deal with the white shadow immediately to prevent it from causing subsequent damage to more legion fleets.
However, Bai Ying is more difficult to deal with than imagined.
It passed by Chen Ming's commanding heights and was far away in a blink of an eye.
Even if Chen Ming's mental power has spread throughout the galaxy, it is still difficult to lock its location in space.
Moreover, Chen Ming currently does not have enough means at hand that can kill Bai Ying with one hit while keeping Bai Ying safe.
Using the Destroyer may lead to the complete destruction of Bai Ying. There is no way to investigate what is going on behind Bai Ying by controlling Bai Ying.
All he could say was that continuing like this was not the way to go. He had to find a way to give Bai Ying the finishing blow.
Chen Ming thought about it, picked up the terminal and contacted the legion commander: "Is there a way to kill Bai Ying?"
The legion commander said very decisively: "Yes, but it runs too fast. The most I can do is stop it, but there is no way to restrain it."
"I'll control it and you'll solve it?"
"Okay, take me there."
When Chen Ming heard this, he immediately used the terminal carried by the legion commander to contact the legion commander and brought him to the highest point.
At this time, the appearance of the legion commander had undergone tremendous changes.
He no longer looks like an ordinary human, but has entered a mutant state.
The Legion Commander is indeed a physical mutation type psyker.
In the past, Chen Ming felt that the legion commander's physique was a bit too strong.
He had doubts before. When he was slashed by Bai Ying just now, he was basically certain that he was a psyker with physical enhancement or physical mutation.
Now he has witnessed the legion commander's use of psychic powers with his own eyes.
The type of physical mutation of the legion commander is a common mutation of two organisms.
Chen Ming learned this concept from Liang Fei.
This double mutation is fundamentally more powerful than a single mutation.
It can integrate the advantages of two organisms and bring them together.
If Chen Ming remembered correctly, the legion commander's double mutant creatures were Behemoth and Galateros.
Chen Ming had learned about these two creatures from some places.
Among them, Behemoth is not the Behemoth in mythology, but an ancient dragon-shaped creature found on a giant habitable planet.
With jet black scales and sulfur-colored skin lines, it roughly looks like a flying dragon walking on four legs, but without wings.
This group of creatures named Behemoth often has a psychic creature as the leader of the group, possessing the tyrannical power to control fire and body.
The combat power of an ordinary Behemoth alone can compete with a destroyer, while a psychic Behemoth can at least destroy a cruiser.
Although at first this may not seem like much to say.
But the current Behemoth is the direction of the mutation of the legion commander's psychic energy.
The strength of the creature itself already determines the upper and lower limits of power to a certain extent.
Creatures like Behemoth are obviously more powerful than other creatures when they become psykers.
The creature Garrettros has an ecological niche similar to that of Behemoth.
It's just that Behemoth usually lives in groups, while Galateros usually lives alone.
It has snow-white hair and looks like some kind of humanoid creature, except that its trunk and limbs are thicker, especially its forelimbs, which are so thick that it can almost support its entire body with its forelimbs alone.
The number of such creatures is relatively rare, and almost all adult individuals are psychic creatures.
The psychic talent of their species is usually closely related to energy manipulation.
Therefore, their combat effectiveness is only higher than that of Behemoth.
It is common for a single biological entity to destroy a fleet.
You must know that even the individual combat capabilities of the Thorn Zerg can only be regarded as ordinary. The real power lies in the physical mutation type of spiritual energy represented by their terrifying fecundity and adaptability genes.
Chen Ming was able to use it to give An Wuping the power of exploding stars.
The individual strength is more powerful than that of the Thorn Zerg. It can even be said that these two creatures from different dimensions appear together in the body of a psyker.
The final effect was extremely terrifying.
The Empire only has one physical psyker, the Legion Commander, who has reached level 6 and is capable of destroying galaxies single-handedly.
So at this time, the legion commander looked like some kind of humanoid dragon creature.
Appearance is not important. Chen Ming himself was even more ugly when he gave An Wuping his mutant form in the early days.
The key is that a form like the Legion Commander has enough power to destroy Bai Ying.
Chen Ming no longer limits the scope and effects of his psychic powers.
He released almost all his mental power and completely controlled the entire galaxy in his hands.
And at the moment when Bai Ying was discovered, the spiritual power that filled the entire galaxy was stimulated, making the space of the galaxy close to being locked at this moment.
Bai Ying was temporarily unable to move forward in this space.
And as the space continued to flow, the space near Bai Ying was distorted.
Although the twisted space cage can only restrict Bai Ying for ten seconds or even a few seconds.
But at times like this, enough is enough.
The army commander in a mutated state was sent to a twisted space cage by Chen Ming.
The corners of his dragon-headed mouth cracked and opened at an angle of nearly a hundred degrees.
The concentrated beam of energy brewed deep in his throat, spitting out a rolling torrent of energy towards Bai Ying.
The beam of this energy torrent is more destructive than the tachyon spear, and more dazzling than the light of the stars in the galaxy.
The extreme temperature flame dyed the originally dark background of the universe blue and white.
The surrounding twisted space made the blue-white swirling flames attract the attention of all the people still alive in the galaxy.
But what is really powerful is not the blue-white flame at the edge of the energy torrent, but the impact of the energy torrent in the flame.
Bai Ying had no way to hide and was forced to resist the torrent of energy.
The destructive energy destroyed Bai Ying's hull, and countless nanorobots repaired the energy damage at an exaggerated speed.
Gradually, the repair speed of the nanobots was too late to keep up with the destruction speed of the energy torrent.
Bai Ying did not have the energy to soften himself and escape from the constraints of Chen Ming's space power.
The armor of the white shadow spacecraft was shattered, and its core was directly bombarded by energy.
suddenly.
The core is shattered and the white shadow is torn apart.
It was shattered by the torrent to the corner of the restricted space created by Chen Ming, bounced back from the edge of the space, and flew everywhere.
The energy beam ejected from the mouth of the legion commander in the mutated state slowly converged, and wisps of white smoke floated from the corners of his mouth.
"Is it solved?"
Looking at the scattered white shadow fragments, this idea popped into Chen Ming's mind, and at the same time there was a trace of worry.
This is just a test by the Machine Tribe, and it may even be just a detection spacecraft released by the Machine Tribe. There may be even more powerful enemies waiting for the Empire in the future.
Chen Minggang wanted to unlock the limitations of space and get in touch with those broken fragments.
The legion commander suddenly shouted: "It's not over yet!"
The sound was transmitted through his body to the terminal that Chen Ming handed him, and also to Chen Ming's ears.
In the space-distorted cage area, the shattered white shadow suddenly gathered again.
The shattered core merged together, and the fragments of the ship roughly reconstituted the White Shadow itself.
However, the white shadow suddenly split into two, each taking away half of the original white shadow's structure, instantly undergoing structural changes and readjustment.
In an instant, two smaller white shadows formed.
Their speed is more terrifying than the original Bai Ying, even though Chen Ming has tried to use twisted space to impose multiple restrictions.
They also escaped from the twisted space like running water, escaping from Chen Ming's restrictions.
And the direction in which they fled.
It's empire.
