Soul of Burning Steel

Meteors fell one after another, falling to the earth like a violent rain of fire, causing the seas to boil and the sky to tremble.

Tehran Starfield, Tehran Star, an ocean world that was originally full of vitality and gave birth to the intelligent life "Tehranites" like jellyfish, is now facing the impact of stars again and again as if the world is extinction, meteorites flying in the sky In the meantime, the roar of countless anti-aircraft firepower and the hoarse roar of monsters could be heard.

"Damn it, these chaotic monsters can't be killed at all!"

On the side of the planet facing away from the sun, it was dark night at this time, and an air defense soldier was using his flexible tentacles to control the firepower point, letting the smooth four-barreled gunfire fly in turn, pulling out straight beams of light in the dark night, The silver-blue psychic energy beams rushed through the atmosphere, burning one after another of the strangely shaped Chaos monsters into ashes.

It can be seen that the thick cloud layer was torn apart by the wreckage of a huge black behemoth. Its body was still wriggling and twisting, as if it was about to give birth to a new generation of monsters, but dozens of streams of light were focused on it at the same time, directly making its whole body Wrapped in a layer of fiery blue light. Even the Chaos monster couldn't bear this kind of power. Its wreckage quickly disintegrated, melted, and then exploded into a dim fireball in the air. The sewage-like wreckage rained down on the sea and the ground.

Without the slightest rest, without the slightest pause, even though the anti-aircraft firepower has completely covered the entire sky like a fine fishing net, even though there are countless warships and fortresses struggling to stop them outside the sky, spreading artillery fire like rain, but in the endless Under the attack of chaos, there are still a few caught fish that can penetrate the firepower, and fall into the rough sea of ​​Tehran with their bodies that have been ignited.

However, even such a fierce battle will eventually come to an end—as the planet rotates, night turns into day, and the chaos invaders from outside the star field have no chance to bypass the defense network in space and come to the star field The opposite inner side, naturally, they also cannot come to the other side of the planet. Seeing the light in the sky gradually brighten, and the number of Chaos monsters invading became less and less until it was gone, the air defense soldier's tentacles finally pulled out, and the whole jellyfish completely collapsed to the ground.

Due to long-term high-intensity thinking and exercise, the water that makes up the air defense soldier's body has become hot, like a hot water bottle, and the war has come to an end.

Anti-aircraft troops are not worried about the damage caused by the chaos monsters invading the planet. On a life planet with an anti-chaos stance, as long as the chaos erosion does not reach the critical value, the natural environment can decompose all monsters like a corpse, and the purpose of these surface defense forces is to reduce the chaos invasion as much as possible The real main force is still those void battleships and fortresses in space.

"Is this the number of shocks this month...the nineteenth?"

However, unlike the fleet that can take the initiative to attack and destroy the enemy, the surface defense force that can only passively withstand the enemy's attack is under great psychological pressure. After a long rest, the Tehran air defense force finally squirmed and stood up, shaking. Looking at the condensed water on his body surface, he muttered to himself in bewilderment and annoyance, "It's only been five days this month!"

The Tehran star field located on the front line of the Chaos battlefield is indeed a bridgehead against Chaos, but it has encountered nearly twenty attacks in less than a week, and this number is too incredible... After all, Chaos soldiers are not endless, so futile And attacking the heavily fortified planetary fortress without any rules is simply giving away a victory for nothing.

But the air defense force did not usher in the joy of victory. On the contrary, his heart sank to the bottom quickly like a stone falling into the water.

"If this continues...the shells and energy are not enough..."

The Tehran civilization, like most civilizations in this world, is an extraordinary civilization that has awakened psychic energy, and their conventional weapons, except for the "spiritual light spear" that is common throughout the universe, are of little use to Chaos monsters Electromagnetic guns and fission weapons are gone, but if psionic weapons want to be used uninterrupted, either the manipulator must be an Omega-level (extreme intent) psionic user, or they must be connected to a "psi energy storage" that is as big as a truck Tanks', as for the Psionic Engines... that thing hasn't been popularized enough to load every empty firing point.

The air defense soldier knew very well that the one-person firepower point he was in had only two psionic storage tanks, which were usually enough to deal with the impact of several months, but now, one tank has been used up, and the other tank has been used up more than half. If this continues, I'm afraid that tomorrow I will squeeze my psionic energy and shoot out my soul as a bullet.

Of course, facing consumption like this will naturally be a disadvantage for Chaos. Even if the entire Tehran star field defense line is completely wiped out now, the losses suffered by Chaos will far exceed the normal battle loss ratio by dozens of times. In a sense, this is completely worthwhile It's just that the high-level thinks so. The soldiers at the bottom, the Tehrans whose home planet is Tehran, don't think it's a good deal.

"Damn it! What's going on with the logistics?! We've been fighting for five days in a row, why haven't the support supplies been delivered yet?!"

Although the anti-aircraft soldiers are very angry, there are not many curse words in the language of Tehran people. They are soft words like "damn" and "very annoying". Five days after the start, the reason for the delay in the arrival of reinforcements.

It's all the fault of those Zhongting people!

The logistics materials responsible for the defense lines of the Tehran star field and the five surrounding star fields are all transferred by the atrium star field. Recently, those leaf heads of the atrium stars have applied to the alliance executives for the right to hold a super large ceremony for some reason. The ceremony was also approved by league executives after a tense emergency meeting. This ceremony gave the people in the atrium almost the highest level of authority to mobilize materials, and took up a large part of the resources of the logistics system, resulting in the delay of all material replenishment on some front lines where there has not been much fighting recently.

The Tehran star field was indeed relatively peaceful some time ago, so the delay was also severe. No one could imagine why the chaos monster was coming so fiercely, so even if the rear received an emergency call for help, it could not be transferred within a week.

"What's the 'Void Gate'? Isn't it a modified version of the 'Void Anchor Point' commonly used by Chaos Monsters?"

Thinking of this, the air defense soldiers couldn't help becoming more and more angry: "There is still a summoning of 'gods'—that group of atrium people still live in the Middle Ages? Even according to the records, their god's highest output is nothing more than the level of the Void Mother Beast. What mobilizes the resources of several star fields?!"

You must know that although the Void Mother Beast is strong, it is not impossible to deal with it. Among other things, the main cannon of the star base in the Tehran Star Field has the power to severely damage the Void Mother Beast--diverting the supplies of several front-line star fields to What kind of summoning ceremony is fundamentally unstable, has no effective means of control, and has an extremely low efficiency ratio?

"I don't know if the summoning was successful or not...Damn it, come and support us if it succeeds! Forget it, it's better to get more psionic storage tanks, those things are more reliable than some void creatures."

The anti-aircraft soldiers have not figured out until now what kind of void creature would make the people in the courtyard pay such a high price without thinking, and even take great risks to carry out this level of summoning ceremony, even if it means losing the front line likely to continue.

At this moment, a dazzling white light suddenly lit up in the sky—it lit up from the center of a distant star, and after flying through space for nearly ten minutes, it came to the outer end of the planet.

This light stream with a diameter of more than 3,000 kilometers illuminates all the stars along the path, leaving only a piece of pure white. Countless chaotic monsters hidden in the darkness are illuminated by the light, appear, and then turn into nothingness , Small Chaos monsters whose volume does not exceed the kilometer level are basically burned instantly, and even larger, giant monsters that exceed five kilometers can only resist for less than a second, and then they are melted and evaporated like this.

"Stellar Main Cannon!"

The anti-aircraft soldier immediately closed his photoreceptors, and skillfully hid himself in a dark box to avoid being completely dried out by the too strong glare, but he was still happy - using the stars as energy, it was enough to severely damage the Void Mother with one blow. The firing of the main cannon of the beast's base was enough to instantly destroy the main force of the Chaos monster army. After such a blow, the impact of the Chaos monster would be greatly slowed down in the next few days.

But soon, he also felt worried: "Now that the Void Mother Beast has not appeared, the stellar main cannon has been used... In ten days, even if the stellar main cannon can be fired again, the mighty power will drop a lot. We There is one last countermeasure missing."

Gathering the power of the stars, the light cannon infused with endless psionic energy didn't care about the worries of a small air defense soldier. It swept across the space solemnly and wiped out all the chaos monsters in eight astronomical units. The remaining twisted monsters Faced with such a mighty stream of light, they could only turn around and flee, not expecting any resistance.

Three minutes later, the flow of light gradually faded, and the dark space returned to its original state again.

However, the air defense troops did not receive the order to "rest" from the combat headquarters. In the past, after the main cannons of the stars were fired and the enemies around the star field were cleared, such an order would be issued to let the space fleet and the surface defense force check the damage and omissions, and recover. Physical and mental.

Without the intense and scorching anti-aircraft firepower, even with the radiance of the sun, the entire Tehran star revealed a depressing and icy atmosphere.

For ordinary races, this is nothing more than a psychological illusion caused by a huge contrast between before and after, but for Tehrans who possess psychic powers, things are not that simple.

"Warning! Found a super-large-scale spiritual leap - it's a void mother beast!"

Not surprisingly, the air defense soldiers who hated their accurate predictions immediately heard the order from the combat headquarters: "All staff are on the highest alert, we will usher in the twentieth wave of shock!"

"Damn it! Anyone can guess that there must be a Void Mother Beast behind so many Chaos monsters, why use the star main cannon indiscriminately!"

The anti-aircraft soldier raised its tentacles and slapped it on the head in despair. It felt like it was going to be dizzy, and turned into a plate of cold jellyfish: "That's it, how do we deal with it!"

It's not just the air defense soldier alone, even in the void fleet, there are countless people who gasped or wailed.

At the frontmost satellite fortress, with the help of advanced spiritual energy detectors, the observers have seen that not far from the heliosphere of the Tehran galaxy, a circular dark green spiritual energy rift is slowly opening, accompanied by The psychic energy wave that was huge enough to shake the planet, a super-giant Chaos female beast with a starfish-shaped head and a length of more than 500 kilometers from the beginning to the end, climbed out of the crack like a monster crawling out of hell.

Unlike most chaotic monsters with dark green or pitch-black body surfaces, the body surface of the female starfish is a nearly completely smooth translucent medium, and layers of liquid psionic energy flow like blood vessels in this medium. Strong spiritual resistance, with such a layer of defense, even the bombardment of the star-level main cannon can't hit it hard. Can defend.

Even if it is not civilization, chaos will also correct itself.

And as the void female beast completely climbed out of the psychic rift and came to the other side of time and space, a huge reproductive cavity was opened at the end of its five starfish-like tentacles, and countless newborn monsters flew out of it, Swimming around the mother beast like a bee.

"There is no end!"

Of course, the air defense soldier could see the real-time transmission on the screen, he couldn't help roaring, and then began to quickly check whether there was any error in the gun chamber and the energy converter - what else could he do? The surface defense force can't do what the fleet does. If they can't fight, they will retreat. Their final ending will either be destroyed by their own people with star destroying weapons, or they will be transformed into a new void together with all the creatures on the entire planet. Mother beast... At that time, I am afraid that other alliance members will be able to see a large chaotic jellyfish or jellyfish flying in the vacuum.

But it's different from the Surface Defense Force and Void Fleet, which are mourning and silent.

Tehran Star, in the Star Base, in the command center of the combat headquarters, an old jellyfish that looks a little shriveled is communicating with an atrium person.

"As you can see, the Chaos monsters have evolved tactical awareness. As soon as they find out that we have used the star cannon, they will immediately call the mother beast to attack."

The old Tehran Commander calmly watched the Void Mother Beast that had just crawled out of the space-time rift in the video, and said in a low voice: "But sometimes, with the awareness of combat, it is not as difficult to deal with as a wild beast... It has been drawn out, and then it will be more difficult to deal with." Come down, it's time to prove your own skills."

"For your ceremony, the headquarters has paid a huge price, don't let the alliance down, and live up to the trust in you."

"As you wish."

The polite envoy from the atrium nodded slightly, and he took out a box from his arms. This box was a simple metal box without any patterns and any logos. The envoy opened it without any fancy, revealing a small mass of Yes, only the size of a palm, a silver light cluster like water droplets.

Then, just like this, the envoy gently pushed the silver light—it immediately disappeared without a trace.

"……that's all?"

The Commander of Tehran adjusted his sensory organs, but he hadn't reacted yet: "What did you do just now?"

"that's all."

The world of people in the atrium bowed slightly, and he said in a fanatical tone: "The will of God has come."

"The next step is the end of chaos."

At the beginning, no one noticed this small silver water droplet. Only the detection radar on the flagship of the Tehran Void Fleet discovered that a small entity moving at 80% of the speed of light was advancing in a straight line-this thing is very It was quickly ignored as a radar error. After all, the stellar main cannon was fired just now, and the huge psionic energy was still vibrating the surrounding stars. It is normal to make mistakes.

But soon, while the original small body slowly slowed down, its mass began to become heavier and heavier—but by the time the fleet reacted, this abnormal sublight-speed matter had expanded to It is the size of a football and weighs more than a large main battleship.

"What it is?!"

Just opening your eyes wide and expressing doubts for a few seconds, the silver drop-shaped light ball has already swept nearly a million kilometers, directly passing through the entire battleship group, and when the technicians extracted only In just one frame, the ball of light had expanded to a diameter of about 50 centimeters, and densely packed miniature runes and various engine parts appeared around it, making it start to leap.

At this time, the Tehran fleet was unable to capture the trace of the light ball at all. They could only detect that the psionic waves caused by the transition were constantly approaching the direction of the void mother.

Soon, within a few minutes—for the Tehran Void Fleet, which has not followed up with the leap, it is more than ten hours later, and the edge of the heliosphere at seventeen light hours from the Tehran star is already a full meter in diameter. A silver ball appeared in front of the Void Mother Beast.

"Detective, a large-scale mass fluctuation has been detected!"

The star base, the command center of the combat headquarters, and the investigators stared at the scene on the screen in shock. He raised his head and said in an unbelievable tone: "The swarm of void mother beasts is retreating!"

"They're running away?!"

It can be seen that on the screen, countless light spots representing chaos monsters, and a huge light ball representing the Void Mother Beast are receding—they are fleeing in fear like a flock of tigers. It was the first time Teheran had seen such an intelligent action from a non-intelligent Chaos monster.

"How can this be?!"

It can be seen that the water in the jellyfish commander's body is about to boil, and the top of his head is steaming: "Even if the void mother beast encounters the main cannon of the star, it will not run away, but directly use its body to harden it-how did they collapse suddenly? "

"etc……"

Thinking of a possibility, the old Teheran turned his head and looked at the smiling envoy of the atrium.

The envoy from the atrium seemed to be smiling without saying a word, but in fact he was also at a loss in his heart.

"'God' didn't tell me it was like this..."

He thought confusedly: "Isn't it absorbing the mass of stars, transforming into a giant fighting form, and then fighting against the Void Mother Beast... This is unreasonable!"

But it is unreasonable, sometimes it is the normal state of the strong.

On the screen, it can be seen that there is no magnification, no careful observation, and the invisible silver dots, like dust, hit the huge, starfish-like void female body surface.

Then, there is distortion.

It can be seen that the moment the small light spot touched the female beast, the translucent anti-psychic medium was immediately eroded and assimilated, and a layer of bright silver light was wriggling and spreading, absorbing the flesh and blood of the void female beast— —Countless living gears appear, they rotate, and more structures are derived, endless conduits, pistons, hydraulic devices, and even various angular geometric structures begin to form the mechanical flesh and nerves, within a few seconds In just a few minutes, one of the five tentacles of the Void Mother Beast, which was originally like a starfish, has become something else.

"Hiss—la!!"

In the vacuum, there was a wail that only echoed in the spirit. The female beast that originally lived on erosion suffered a reverse 'purification' at this time, and it could also be said to be 'predation' by the stronger ones - it can be seen, The converted tentacles, no matter how they look at this time, don't look like flesh and blood, but are more like a powerful mechanical arm, gears, levers, and various mechanical structures that God knows how to work. Strong and powerful energy fluctuations.

Undoubtedly, it had self-will at this time, so the tentacle turned its angle like this, and whipped the female starfish's face with a whip, smashing countless flesh and blood.

"Gah—"

In the combat headquarters, the command center, and the silent hall, there was a half-scream from an observer as if being strangled by the neck. Everyone was shocked to watch what happened on the screen. They looked at the Void Mother. The beast's tentacles rebelled, and he beat himself up until he was dying, and then his brain was almost blank.

To be honest, even in their dreams, they could not imagine such a dreamy scene.

Are they really not dreaming?

"...my God is above."

The atrium envoy was the first to react. He forced himself to calm down, then swallowed his saliva (coolant) and raised his hand, drawing a Φ symbol on his chest: "Thank you for his mighty power to protect us."

Commander Tehran stood quietly in front of the screen, watching everything that happened on the screen with a blank expression, and his observation organs remained motionless.

At this time, it can be seen that the huge starfish-shaped void female beast has curled up, looking as if it has been beaten into a coma, but the silver mechanical structure has not stopped spreading, it is still spreading, and the huge The Void Mother Beast disintegrates into a cloud of hazy silver mist, and it can be seen that countless gears, levers, various transducers, and microscopic structures are wriggling in the mist, and around this silver mist, countless chaotic monsters are also like As if being brain-controlled, they rushed into the mist one after another.

"No, it's not control—it's gravity!"

An observer keenly noticed something was wrong, and she screamed loudly: "A variable gravity source has been detected! All the Chaos monsters have been sucked in!"

At this moment, the Void Behemoth has been completely decomposed and turned into a nebula-like mist, and in the center of the mist, a tiny but extremely dazzling light spot appeared, and this light spot shone for a moment , then rapidly contracted and dimmed, completely absorbing the incomparably huge silver cloud.

The light is distorted.

The too chaotic and huge gravitational waves shattered all the detection cameras.

All that remains on the screen is the last dot, the 'black dot' that even light cannot escape.

It was a dim but dazzling 'dark star' shining outside the galaxy.

—a surprisingly long silence.

After a long time, the Commander of Tehran let out a sigh of relief, turned off the screen in front of him, and triggered a noisy and shocked discussion among all the staff.

He turned his head and looked at the envoy from the atrium who had to maintain a calm face even though he was equally shocked in his heart.

"Although it's a bit abrupt, but Mr. Miller (the name of the arbor envoy)."

The Commander of Tehran said so, his tone seemed a little embarrassed, "That's right, that..."

Speaking of this, the liquid in his body began to boil, and even the shriveled skin swelled up, just like the blushing face of a human being: "The god you believe in..."

"The god you believe in...what is his honorable name?"
