A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 939

Chapter 939: Chapter 654: Miracle Chapter 939: Chapter 654: Miracle Relative to the Reapers, this battle evidently put far more pressure on the Tribunal Fleet.

Duanmu Huai had dealt with the Reapers by cutting off the Mass Relay, forcing the Reapers to launch a frontal attack. But now, at the center of the Milky Way, billions of cosmic monsters were attacking from all directions. Fearless of death, they charged toward the Black Hole Bomb with overwhelming ferocity, clearly understanding who posed the greatest threat to them.

“Detonate it, blast them to death!”

At this moment, Duanmu Huai was also grinding his teeth as he stared at the screen. The cosmic monsters they faced this time were not the small fries they had encountered before; their size was nearly equal to that of the Tribunal Fleet's warships. The kamikaze attacks adopted by the monsters were so intense that even the Tribunal Fleet's warships were struggling to hold the line.

Soon, several cone-shaped cosmic monsters broke through the barrage of fire and crashed into a cruiser. Half of the monsters' bodies were deeply embedded in the cruiser, which then exploded violently, completely tearing apart the barrier in front of them.

Damn, they can self-destruct too, just like kamikaze attacks!

Watching the frontline, Duanmu Huai's face turned gloomy. Although the Tribunal Fleet's firepower was strong, it was impossible to defend every aspect of the Black Hole Bomb. Fortunately, the Black Hole Bomb itself had barriers and armor, which mitigated some of the damage from the monsters' self-destruction, but as for how effective that would be… it was still hard to say.

“Twenty-two minutes left!”

At this point, Aikute was giving it his all. From the screen in front of him, Duanmu Huai could see massive numbers of cosmic monsters being annihilated on the periphery. However, many had broken through the Tribunal Fleet's firewall and even destroyed the Tribunal Fleet's warships, heading straight for the Black Hole Bomb. Even with the support from VF Team and Gundam Mecha Squads from the convoy, their efforts seemed like a drop in the bucket.

The situation was indescribable now, enemies everywhere–above, below, left, and right. All they needed to do was fire, keep firing incessantly, obliterating everything in front of them, whether foes or allies. The center of the Milky Way had turned into a vast expanse of white, where black and white intertwined.

“I hate this kind of battle the most, can't even find a head to target, or else I'd have bailed out directly.”

Duanmu Huai paced restlessly on the bridge, clearly not liking this passive way of getting hit. Unfortunately, there was no way around it, as even in the game everyone was only aware that the Center of the Milky Way gave birth to countless cosmic monsters, but as to which nook or cranny they emerged from — they probably didn't even know themselves.

Even against the Tyron Swarm, Duanmu Huai could've directly targeted the queen. This kind of attrition war where decapitation was impossible and one only had to endure was too unbearable!

And what's more…

“MMP…”

While cursing silently in his heart, Duanmu Huai was continuously drawing cards with both hands. At the moment, he was summoning Creaturess one by one to send to their graves, enough to then summon “Sky City” + “Divine Relic” to sweep clean. Then he would recycle these two cards, redraw his hand cards, and begin the cycle anew.

It was only thanks to the unreasonable full-field damage of “Divine Relic” that they were barely able to keep the cosmic monsters' offensive momentum in check, disrupting their assaults multiple times.

But there were limits to this, too!

Although it was not as exaggerated as “Dimensional Transcendence”, the shuffle of these two cards also cost Duanmu Huai a lot of experience points. His experience points were dropping faster than his HP, causing Duanmu a pang of distress — if it wasn't for the Ascension Catastrophe, he wouldn't need to spend so many resources. Now he feared losing a good chunk of the experience he had gained from Rose.

“————–”
Finally, the relentless wave of cosmic monsters was swept away, leaving Duanmu Huai and Aikute to take a long breath of relief.

“Is it over…?”

Mary cautiously looked at the screen and then at the two of them.

“This wave of attacks is over, two minutes left!”

Duanmu Huai shook his sore hands from incessant card drawing and looked at the screen again.

Luckily, the massive Black Hole Bomb was still present on the screen.

“Aikute, how many warships do we have left?”

“Currently, a total of three thousand two hundred twenty-seven remain, of which one thousand five hundred have sustained significant damage…”

“You have my gratitude, Your Honor, the Judge,” Captain Tashiro on the screen also took a deep breath, relaxing a bit.

“We have no way to repay your great kindness… Everyone has done very well, thank you.”

“Can it, will you? It's not time to pop the champagne yet! Can't you wait to express your thanks after everything's over?”

Duanmu Huai was speechless at that moment; this jinx of a man was celebrating too early. Didn't he know that every time he spoke, it would come back to haunt him?

“All control rods begin activation! 40 seconds to reaching the gravitational radius!”

“Ten-second countdown — ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one…”

However, the Black Hole Bomb showed no response.

“What's going on?!”

At this, Captain Tashiro was also stunned, speaking up in a hurry.
