Chapter 408 A desperate battle and a mysterious turning point
Energy beams from the giant mechanical creature rained down, cratering the ground. The team struggled to take cover amidst the flames and smoke. Lin Yu's heart pounded. He knew that with their current firepower, they were no match for this powerful mechanical creature. Just when the situation seemed hopeless, he suddenly remembered a special weapon on board the fleet—the quantum pulse cannon. This was a technological marvel provided by the Zelta civilization; it possessed immense power but also consumed a tremendous amount of energy. Lin Yu didn't want to use it unless absolutely necessary. But now, he had no other choice.
"Ellie, return to the fleet immediately and activate the quantum pulse cannon. Target this giant mechanical creature!" Lin Yu shouted into the communicator. Ellie didn't hesitate for a moment, turning and sprinting towards the fleet. Lin Yu and the remaining team members continued to fight the mechanical guards and the mechanical creature, buying time for Ellie.
The team members constantly changed their attack positions, using the ruins as cover to evade the mechanical creatures' attacks while continuously firing at the mechanical guards. Despite this, their stamina and weapon energy were rapidly depleting, and their defensive line was gradually crumbling.
Ellie had already boarded the fleet and rushed towards the weapons control room. She skillfully operated the various buttons and consoles, activating the quantum pulse cannon's energy core. As energy continued to accumulate, the quantum pulse cannon emitted a deep rumble, causing the entire fleet to tremble slightly.
"Lin Yu, the quantum pulse cannon is fully charged and ready to fire!" Ellie shouted through the communicator. Lin Yu was delighted: "Aim at the core of the mechanical creature, listen to my command, prepare to fire!" As he spoke, he observed the mechanical creature's movements, searching for the best opportunity to attack.
Finally, after one attack, the mechanical creature paused briefly, its core fully exposed. "Fire!" Lin Yu shouted. A dazzling blue beam shot out from the fleet, like a bolt of lightning, instantly striking the mechanical creature's core.
With a deafening roar, the core of the mechanical creature exploded violently, the powerful shockwave sending surrounding mechanical guards flying. The team members were knocked to the ground by the blast wave, but ignoring the pain, they quickly got up and looked at the mechanical creature.
As the smoke cleared, the mechanical creature's upper body was blasted to pieces, leaving only its lower body standing in place, flickering with a faint electric current, clearly incapacitated. "We did it!" the team members cheered, relieved smiles appearing on their tired faces.
However, before they could even celebrate, a powerful energy fluctuation suddenly emanated from within the ruins. The entire ruins began to shake violently, and cracks spread across the ground and walls. "Oh no, the ruins are collapsing!" Lin Yu shouted, "Everyone, get back to the fleet!"
The team members quickly ran towards the fleet, dodging and weaving as rocks rained down from above. Finally, everyone safely boarded the fleet. Lin Yu immediately ordered, "Start the engines and get out of here!"
The fleet slowly rose, and just as they were about to leave the ruins, Lin Yu suddenly noticed a strange light flashing at the bottom of the ruins. A thought struck him: could something important be hidden there? Without time to think further, he maneuvered the fleet, slowly approaching the source of the light.
In a secluded corner at the bottom of the ruins, they discovered a crystal device emitting a soft glow. The device was exquisitely crafted, covered with symbols and patterns similar to those on the surface of the ruins. Lin Yu carefully brought it aboard the fleet, preparing for in-depth research.
Back at the fleet, Lin Yu and Ellie immediately began analyzing the crystal device. As their research deepened, they discovered that the device seemed to be related to the core technology of an ancient civilization. Using specialized instruments, they successfully deciphered some of the information on the device.
It turns out that this crystal device is an energy control center left behind by an ancient civilization, capable of manipulating a powerful energy called "Starlight Power." And this energy is the key to unlocking the mystery of mysterious energy.
“Lin Yu, if we can master the ‘Starlight Power,’ we can not only completely solve the problem of the mysterious energy, but also potentially gain a completely new and powerful force,” Ellie said excitedly. Lin Yu nodded slightly, his eyes gleaming with anticipation: “But where exactly is this ‘Starlight Power’? And how do we activate it?”
Just as they were lost in thought, the fleet's communication channel suddenly received a mysterious signal from the depths of space. This signal was unlike any they had encountered before, carrying an aura of mystery and antiquity. Lin Yu and Ellie exchanged a glance; they knew a new adventure was about to begin.
