Chapter 336: The Mutual Destruction with the Sky Dome

Song Chi's fleeting sense of joy quickly dissipated, replaced by a deep shadow.

The mechanical body of the Tier 5 Mechanical Colossus was far too formidable. Only the Flamewraith Giant's full-force strikes with the [Divine Transformation Sword], along with the "Mixed Cave Supreme Yang Sword Intent Divine Light" and "Soul-Devouring Gaze" attacks, could inflict significant damage. However, expecting to cause substantial harm to the Mechanical Colossus within the next few minutes was nothing short of a delusion.

At this thought, Song Chi immediately recalled the [External Armor-Piercing Cobalt Bullet Launcher] component. As a component with extremely strong armor-piercing capabilities, it was the only hope for severely wounding the Mechanical Colossus before the Bosa Time Realm's duration ended. However, he couldn't just attack the outer body of the Mechanical Colossus directly. Previous attacks had proven largely ineffective.

As he pondered, Song Chi noticed the dark, ominous muzzle of the annihilation cannon inside the Mechanical Colossus's open mouth.

Humming! The engines roared as Song Chi carefully adjusted the Sky Dome's position.

At a certain moment, when the Mechanical Colossus opened its mouth again, two specially designed cobalt bullets were fired in quick succession.

The two cobalt bullets left long trails of flames in the sky and, following the open mouth of the Mechanical Colossus, accurately entered the annihilation main cannon's muzzle, then rushed into the Mechanical Colossus's interior.

Boom! Boom!

Two intense explosions echoed from within the Mechanical Colossus, followed by a large amount of black smoke billowing from its mouth.

The Mechanical Colossus's movements froze, and with the Bosa Time Realm's slowing effect, it seemed to be completely paralyzed.

However, Song Chi knew this was just an illusion. Even if the two cobalt bullets had not created large cracks in the Mechanical Colossus's body, and even if its body did crack, the Mechanical Colossus's structure would allow it to continue functioning for some time.

Sure enough, after a brief pause, the Mechanical Colossus became even more frenzied. Steam gushed from its mechanical body, and in the next second, the mechanical head transformed, revealing two large mechanical cannon muzzles.

Although these two cannon muzzles were not as large as the annihilation main cannon in the Mechanical Colossus's mouth, they were far more powerful than the ordinary firepower muzzles.

A few seconds later, two specially designed fragmentation shells were fired from them.

For the Flamewraith Giant, who controlled the Law of Fire, the fragmentation shells did minimal damage. However, the Mechanical Colossus was unaware of this and knew only that the fragmentation shells were a stronger attack method.

Unfortunately, the firing speed of all the cannons was also slowed, making it easy for the Flamewraith Giant to dodge the two fragmentation shells.

The two fragmentation shells exploded on the ground behind, releasing a massive burst of flames, but they did not harm the Flamewraith Giant at all. Instead, the Flamewraith Giant, wielding the Divine Transformation Sword surrounded by the Law of Fire, seized the opportunity and plunged it into the Mechanical Colossus's mouth.

Thus, the Sky Dome and the Flamewraith Giant focused their attacks on the annihilation beam cannon inside the Mechanical Colossus's mouth, continuing for several minutes. After numerous rounds of cobalt bullet attacks, the Mechanical Colossus's body finally exploded.

Through the cracked body, Song Chi saw the energy core located inside the Mechanical Colossus. If he could destroy this energy core, the Mechanical Colossus would lose all its mobility.

So, in the next second, Song Chi shifted his attack target.

...

Time passed again, and a few more minutes elapsed.

Just before the Bosa Time Realm ended, the energy core inside the Mechanical Colossus was finally shattered by the Sky Dome's relentless attacks from various positions.

Without the energy support, the steel giant, known for its formidable defenses, quickly lost all mobility, and the red light in its mechanical eyes faded completely.

"Phew!"

Only then did Song Chi exhale a long breath of relief.

However, he did not rush the Sky Dome closer. Instead, he released several Void Shadow Assassin Puppets to investigate.

After circling the Mechanical Colossus several times and confirming it was no longer a threat, the Sky Dome slowly approached.

In the Sky Dome's command room, Song Chi narrowed his eyes, looking down at the fallen Mechanical Colossus. This battle had taught him a valuable lesson. He now had a profound respect for Tier 5 units, rather than any sense of underestimation. After all, this was just a mindless, predictable Mechanical Colossus that the Sky Dome could attack without pressure, and it still caused significant trouble. A normal Tier 5 unit would undoubtedly be even more dangerous.

As he reflected on this, Song Chi was about to call An Se Wei over.

However, at that moment, the red light in the Mechanical Colossus's eyes reappeared.

[Backup power activated, initiating final "self-destruction" protocol...]

Below, the Mechanical Colossus's internal systems emitted a series of emotionless mechanical sounds. Song Chi didn't even finish listening; the moment he heard "self-destruction," his first thought was to "run." He couldn't even recall the Flamewraith Giant in time and could only send a mental command for it to retreat quickly.

Even so, it was already too late.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Several mechanical claws burst from the Mechanical Colossus's body, crossing hundreds of meters in an instant and tightly wrapping around the Sky Dome, no matter how Song Chi tried to activate the [Light Energy Aggregation Engine].

Despite the activation of the Phantom Propulsor, the warship couldn't move an inch.

His reaction wasn't slow. Upon realizing this, he almost immediately activated the Behemoth Heart component's "Behemoth Body" feature. However, the Behemoth Heart had only just been reinforced to level 30, so while it provided some relief against the mechanical claws, allowing the Sky Dome to move slowly, the speed was painfully sluggish.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Before the Sky Dome could move far, the mechanical colossus below exploded.

In an instant, the terrifying explosion enveloped the Sky Dome, which was only a kilometer above.

HUM!

The entire underground ruin space was thrown into violent tremors.

The self-destruction of a Tier 5 unit was no small feat.

Even the White Rose Cruiser, which was in the first area, felt the intense heat. Fortunately, the red energy shield had already reformed, preventing any damage to the ship's interior and protecting Answei.

However, Answei's attention was not on the White Rose Cruiser. Her face was pale, and the sight of the Sky Dome being engulfed by the explosion left her unable to calm down.

This was a Tier 5 self-destruction, and it was right next to the Sky Dome. Her mind was in chaos, and she couldn't think clearly.

After several dozen seconds, the terrifying shockwave had not yet completely dissipated, but the White Rose Cruiser anxiously rushed over from the first area.

The magnetic wave communication had been cut off when the two warships separated, so she could only use her eyes and the Void Scanning Radar to search for the Sky Dome and Song Chi.

As the intense shockwave gradually dissipated, the White Rose Cruiser's Void Scanning Radar finally overcame the external energy fluctuations and successfully locked onto a figure hovering in the air.

This sight made Answei's heart tighten.

As the White Rose Cruiser continued to approach, she saw the miniature neutron star floating in the air, and her heart finally settled, a smile returning to her face.

In the Sky Dome's main control room, Song Chi was equally panicked.

In that situation, his mind nearly froze. Fortunately, at the last moment, he activated the Bodhimanda Meditation Seal's "Meditation Seal · Inner · Speed" feature, forcing the Neutron Star Core Armor's "Neutron Star Fission" to complete its cooldown. He then transformed into the miniature neutron star form to withstand the explosion.

Even now, he was still shaken and hadn't fully recovered.

After a while, once he had calmed down, he instinctively replayed the scene in his mind.

Upon reflection, he realized he had multiple options at the time.

For example, he could have directly cooled down the Void Flash Pearl component and used it to flash to the entrance of the ruins.

Alternatively, if he lacked confidence in surviving, he could have entered the Market Ruins. While this wouldn't ensure the Sky Dome 's safety, it would at least save his life.

Shaking his head, he sighed at his lack of practical combat experience. If he had the chance, he would need to strengthen his combat training.

Without further thought, Song Chi controlled the Sky Dome to exit the neutron star form and activated the Final Shelter component.

Although the Sky Dome had withstood the explosion in its neutron star form, the damage was significant. The Immortal Realm Five Elements Energy Shield was overloaded, and both the hull armor and the hull itself were heavily damaged.

[Warship under repair, 64% hull armor repaired, current hull armor damage 8%, 34% hull repaired, hull repair complete!]

Thanks to the silver repair component, the Sky Dome’s hull was fully repaired, and the hull armor was down to 8%. The "Neutron Star Core Pulse" feature would soon restore it completely.

Only the energy shield, being overloaded, would require a few more minutes of cooldown.

"Really, next time, if you insist on playing with fire, you'll end up leaving yourself here, happy only then?"

In the re-established ship communication, Answei's eyes no longer held the previous worry. Although her face was still slightly pale, it was hard to notice unless one looked closely. She placed her hands on her hips and glared at Song Chi through the projection screen.

Song Chi didn't argue; this time, it was indeed his fault.

Of course, he wasn't regretting continuing to explore the eleventh area. Rather, he regretted being lax with the mechanical colossus that had lost its energy core. If he had been more cautious, none of this would have happened.

With this in mind, Song Chi shifted his gaze and quickly steered the Sky Dome toward a corner of the eleventh area.

The Enraged Giant, now charred and extremely weak, was slumped in the corner. The Sky Dome had transformed into a neutron star, and the Enraged Giant had truly endured the explosion.

Fortunately, although the injuries were severe, as long as it wasn't dead, it was manageable.

Using the Enslavement Badge, Song Chi reduced the Enraged Giant to a few meters tall and brought it back to the ship. He immediately sent it to the Life System Medical Repair Pod.

With the orange healing component, the Enraged Giant would recover in no time.

After this, Song Chi and Answei turned their attention to the Space Fold Box in another corner.
