Chapter 1065: The War Begins
Elizabeth now fully understood Manina’s intentions.
It seems I must pass this information through that secret channel to Lord Dalarak. Although he might not care, it’s the only valuable information I can provide as a spy.
“Lady Elizabeth,” Manina suddenly turned to her.
“Hmm? What is it?” Elizabeth snapped back to reality.
“You are still recovering from your injuries, so after the official start of the war, you will stay at the headquarters on Mount Fuji. You don’t need to do any other work; just notify us if you notice anything unusual at the headquarters.”
“Understood,” Elizabeth replied readily.
...
...
Both the Blue Star and the Skrull Star were reinforcing their war morale in the final moments before the conflict began.
With their war morale solidified, the only thing left was to commence the battle!
On the morning of June 1, 2121, at 10:00 AM, the long-awaited start of the war finally arrived!
The spatial rift above Mount Fuji’s psychic spring also underwent significant changes.
Previously, a narrow, black rift hovered above Mount Fuji. While Skrull deities could pass through it, the rift would immediately oscillate and contract, preventing the next deity from crossing.
However, as the official start of the war approached, the spatial rift rapidly transformed. The once-black rift now formed a loop, and its color swiftly changed to a brilliant silver-white. This wasn’t just any silver-white; it was a bright, electric white, radiating a blinding light that was almost painful to look at.
Moreover, unlike lightning, which often disappears in an instant, the silver-white glow of the spatial rift remained constant, forming a massive light source above, glaring into the eyes of everyone present.
Seeing the transformed spatial rift, both the Blue Star and Skrull forces were momentarily disoriented.
There was one exception, though: Su Yu.
Having experienced the events of June 1 in his past life, Su Yu knew that the spatial rift would take this form once the war began.
Even in this new form, the spatial rift retained its “teleportation” properties, allowing Skrull forces to continue passing through from Skrull Star.
However, due to the transformation, the number of units that could pass through the rift in a given time had greatly increased, and it no longer oscillated and contracted!
It was clear that the Skrull forces still on Skrull Star would now arrive on Blue Star much faster.
“Everyone, prepare yourselves! The war has begun!”
Su Yu’s booming voice echoed over the first line of defense.
The Blue Star soldiers and high-ranking experts were already on high alert. Hearing Su Yu’s voice, their tension only increased.
At the first line of defense, soldiers responsible for operating defensive weapons nervously placed their hands over the firing buttons, sweat trickling down from under their helmets, waiting for the command to fire.
In the Four Symbols Formation, players and cultivators of the sixth rank and above took to the air, evenly distributing themselves to the designated positions in every corner of the formation, ready for battle.
The Skrull forces were equally prepared.
Following the transformation of the spatial rift, a large number of warships, spacecraft, and drones flew through into Blue Star.
Simultaneously, hundreds of elite Skrull fleets, mostly composed of their “Big Three”—flying battle vehicles, drones, and war mechs—emerged from Mount Fuji’s psychic spring and advanced toward the Dragon Abyss Four Symbols Formation!
The number of alien ships was so vast that they swarmed like locusts, blanketing the sky as far as the eye could see.
However, they didn't get to fly for very long.
The Blue Star's Longquan Four Symbols Array was set up at the base of the mountain.
So, just as they had barely flown out from Mount Fuji, they were forced to slow down and face the first obstacle on their path forward.
As the vast Skrull fleet approached, the Blue Star humans wasted no time in responding.
"Fire!"
With Su Yu's resonant voice echoing through the entire Four Symbols Array, the Blue Star humans immediately unleashed a fierce counterattack against the invaders.
Boom—Boom—Boom—
In an instant, all the defensive weapons within the Four Symbols Array sprang to life.
Antimatter railguns, various laser weapons, powerful psychically-enhanced weapons developed by the Blue Star humans, and even nuclear bombs and other high-energy weapons were all hurled at the Skrull fleet.
The Skrull ships at the forefront had anticipated this counterattack.
Facing the barrage of beams, waves, shells, and missiles from the Blue Star humans, the Skrull fleet dodged where they could, and when they couldn't, they formed a joint defense to withstand the onslaught.
The Skrull fleet's "joint defense" was quite impressive. Any damage sustained by a single ship could be transferred to nearby ships, mechs, drones, and even high-ranking psychics within the mechs, sharing the burden.
With the joint defense activated, the ships could avoid destruction to the greatest extent possible, often withstanding three to four times the pressure they would normally handle.
Since they had just emerged from the psychic spring, it wasn't practical for the Skrull ships to dodge all attacks, given how densely packed the fleet was. Even if one ship dodged, it might collide with another.
After some communication, all the fleets activated their joint defense.
In an instant, the originally gray and white Skrull fleet turned a bright blue, with their defenses pushed to the limit to withstand the damage from the Blue Star humans.
The Skrull fleet wasn't just taking hits; they were also fighting back.
While absorbing the damage, they activated their attack modules and fired back at the Blue Star humans.
The Skrull fleet's primary weapons were laser-based, as the fleet had stringent requirements for payload and weapon energy density. Therefore, laser weapons were undoubtedly superior to other forms, especially missiles.
As the Skrull fleet retaliated, beams of light filled the sky, and a dazzling array of colored lasers rained down on the Longquan Four Symbols Array.
However, the Longquan Four Symbols Array was a formidable defense, built with great effort by the Blue Star humans, and it wasn't about to be broken easily.
The rows of lasers hitting the Longquan Four Symbols Array only caused ripples on its surface, while the four core nodes remained as stable as ever.
After enduring the first wave of laser attacks from the Skrulls, Su Yu's initially anxious heart finally calmed down.
The intensity of the Skrull laser attacks was not much different from what he had anticipated, and they could only cause minor irritation.
At this rate, even if the Skrulls continued their laser attacks for a month, they wouldn't be able to breach the Longquan Four Symbols Array.
So, he didn't need to worry just yet. He could continue the exchange of fire with the Skrull fleet.
Let's see what the Skrulls have up their sleeves next!
