Chapter 354: Group Amplification Component - Radiant Star Arrival
Chapter 354: Group Amplification Component - Radiant Star Arrival
Of course, Song Chi was well aware that this was just the first wave.
After the collapse of the Law Light Curtain, there would be no immediate replacement for the Perfect Earth Law Light Curtain in the short term, and the battle damage ratio would soon shrink significantly.
However, it must be said that the ratio would never reach a 1:1 level. After all, the Civilizational Wall itself provided an all-attribute boost to the Flame Warships.
The Flame Warships of the Frandia Kingdom Royal Fleet had their energy shields and hull armor enhanced to varying degrees. Under these circumstances, the Flame Humans clearly had the upper hand.
Not long after, the second round of cannon fire from both sides clashed again.
As Song Chi had anticipated, without the protection of the Perfect Earth Law Light Curtain, the battle damage of the Frandia Kingdom Royal Fleet began to rise significantly. The initial 1:100 battle damage ratio quickly dropped to 1:10 and eventually settled around 1:4.
This battle damage ratio seemed acceptable, considering it was one ship against four enemy ships.
However, the reality was that the fleet commander of the Frandia Kingdom Royal Fleet had a gloomy expression, clearly unable to accept this outcome.
After all, his entire fleet consisted of only 100,000 warships. If this continued, even if the entire fleet was destroyed, the Sky Serpent Warship group would still have over 100,000 Sky Serpent Warships remaining.
Yet, there was nothing they could do. This was considered a normal battle damage ratio.
The Civilizational Wall provided attribute boosts, but the difference in the number of warships between the two fleets could not be ignored. Despite this disparity, the battle damage ratio remained relatively low, entirely due to the formidable power of the Mythical Artifact, the Civilizational Wall. How could they ask for more?
After the second round of warship clashes, nearly one-twentieth of the Frandia Kingdom Royal Fleet's warships were sunk. If this continued, the balance of the battlefield would clearly shift towards the Eight-armed Serpent Fiends.
Facing this situation, within the senior 6th Rank Dreadnought flagship at the forefront of the Frandia Kingdom Royal Fleet, a senior 6th Rank Flame Captain, who was also a member of the Frandia Kingdom royalty, had a sudden change of heart. Before the third round of clashes, he activated a special ship-mounted component on his flagship.
Stellar Blessing lv70
Quality: Silver
Trait: Stellar Guard
Trait2: Hull Fortification Doubled
...
{Stellar Guard: Consumes 500,000 Shadow Energy Points, links up to 100,000 allied warships, increases the energy shield value of linked warships by 50%, and boosts their firepower by 50%. Duration: 40 minutes, Cooldown: 720 hours.}
As this component was activated, the energy shields on the surfaces of the Flame Warships throughout the Royal Fleet noticeably intensified.
Witnessing this, a Star Tower member whispered:
"A group amplification component, and it can boost nearly 100,000 warships at once! This fleet commander must hold a high position within the Frandia Kingdom royalty!"
"Group amplification components are already extremely rare, let alone one that can boost 100,000 warships at once. It's probably a silver-quality group amplification component at the very least."
...
As the crowd quietly discussed, the third round of clashes between the two fleets descended from above.
Boom, boom, boom! The intense roar of the cannons echoed once more. However, with the silver-quality group amplification component in play, the battle damage of the Frandia Kingdom Royal Fleet visibly decreased.
In the previous round, nearly 5,000 warships were almost sunk, but this time, only slightly over 1,000 were lost. On the other side, nearly 40,000 Sky Serpent Warships were destroyed, bringing the battle damage ratio back to 1:40.
Deep in the starry sky, the Eight-armed Serpent Fiends realized that the Frandia Kingdom Royal Fleet had activated an amplification component. They were no fools and stopped engaging in direct clashes with the Frandia Kingdom fleet. Instead, they began to retreat, aiming to prolong the duration of the unknown group amplification component.
In contrast, the Frandia Kingdom Royal Fleet seized the opportunity and unleashed the full force of their warships' firepower components to inflict maximum damage on the Sky Serpent Warship group.
Within the flagship, the senior 6th Rank Captain's eyes flickered with hesitation.
In this situation, it was clear that pursuing the enemy fleet would yield the best results. However, he feared that a reckless pursuit might lead them into a trap set by the Eight-armed Serpent Fiends. Once they left the coverage of the Civilizational Wall, all the enhancement effects would disappear. If they were ambushed in such a situation, his entire fleet would face a devastating disaster.
With this in mind, he glanced at the towering, star-shrouded tower below and recalled the warning from the Luminous Star Tower.
In the end, he suppressed his urge to pursue and ordered his fleet to maintain formation without giving chase.
Time passed, and after more than half an hour, the Eight-armed Serpent Fiends noticed the decrease in the Frandia Kingdom Royal Fleet's firepower. The Sky Serpent Mother Ship, with over 500,000 Sky Serpent Warships, approached once more.
The Eight-armed Serpent Fiend Civilization and the Flame Human Civilization had been at a standoff for over 100,000 years. They had a clear understanding of the basic mechanisms of Flame Warships and knew that the cooldown time for such high-level amplification components would be lengthy. Therefore, they dared to approach without hesitation.
Just then, the previously diminished firepower of the Frandia Kingdom Royal Fleet suddenly surged, causing heavy casualties among the Sky Serpent Warship group.
High above the Civilizational Wall, within the command room of the Frandia Kingdom Royal Fleet's Dreadnought, the golden-haired, blue-eyed senior 6th Rank Captain smirked.
The duration of the Stellar Blessing component was indeed 40 minutes, but his flagship also had another ship-mounted component—an effect amplification component. With this component, the fleet's amplification effect duration was extended from 40 minutes to 50 minutes.
Earlier, he had intentionally reduced his fleet's attack intensity to make the Eight-armed Serpent Fiends lower their guard, and they had indeed fallen for it.
Unfortunately, the additional 10 minutes of effect only resulted in the sinking of several tens of thousands of Sky Serpent Warships, most of which were low-rank Sky Serpent Warships, which had little impact on the overall battle situation.
As if provoked by the Frandia Kingdom Royal Fleet's actions, the Sky Serpent Mother Ship, which had been hovering silently at the rear of the Sky Serpent Warship group, suddenly underwent a strange transformation.
The nearly 100-kilometer-long mother ship's steel hull began to open and close in an eerie fashion. The next second, countless warship launch windows appeared all over the Sky Serpent Mother Ship, and a large number of brand-new Sky Serpent Warships burst forth.
"A fully loaded Celestial Serpent Mother Ship, damn it, we've been deceived. That's a fully loaded Celestial Serpent Mother Ship."
Looking at the distant starry sky, where the number of Celestial Serpent Warships had skyrocketed to over a million in a short time, and it wasn't stopping. The Sky Serpent Mother Ship continued to launch more Celestial Serpent Warships, while several Star Tower elders around him exclaimed in shock.
Before this, almost everyone believed that the first appearance of more than 600,000 ordinary Celestial Serpent Warships was the doing of the Sky Serpent Mother Ship. Now it seemed that everyone had been mistaken. Those 600,000 ordinary Celestial Serpent Warships were just a cover, and the Sky Serpent Mother Ship was actually a fully loaded warship.
In the sky above, even the well-trained Frandia Kingdom Royal Fleet seemed a bit chaotic when faced with the nearly 1.5 million Celestial Serpent Warships of their opponent.
Inside the Dreadnought, the senior 6th Rank Flame Captain of the Frandia Royal Family had the intention to seek aid from the Luminous Star Tower, but the 1.5 million Celestial Serpent Warships in the distant starry sky had already launched their attack, which was even more terrifying than the first time. Over 300 beams from the Celestial Serpent Cannons focused on their fleet, a sight that made one's scalp tingle.
Helpless, the senior 6th Rank Flame Captain of the Frandia Royal Family could only quickly give the order for all officers to defend with all their might in the fleet group chat. He immediately activated the protective trait of the silver ship body armor, and a giant crimson phoenix phantom exuding a mysterious flame aura appeared, enveloping his entire ship.
Silver Energy Shield + Silver Ship Body Armor + Frandia Royal Family's "Phoenix Mystique" secret art. Any one of these defenses would be considered top-tier in the outside world, but even with all three combined, this senior 6th Rank Flame Captain's body remained cold, and he felt no sense of security.
There were over 3 million beams from the Celestial Serpent Main Cannons, and even golden-tier defenses couldn't guarantee fail-proof protection at this moment.
Just then, the "Corpse Dog" elder in front of the Luminous Star Tower suddenly took action. His body was enveloped in spatial fluctuations, and the next second, he abruptly disappeared. By the time Song Chi and the others noticed, he had already transformed into his true body and stepped out from the Luminous Star Tower.
The engines roared as the owner of the 3rd Yaoguang Star Token summoned his ultimate Dreadnought.
The 100km-class Dreadnought rapidly transformed into a 100km-tall Mythical Mecha Titan.
The Titan held a long spear that shone with golden light, and its overwhelming pressure spread out without restraint.
This was not the end of it. Although the 6th Rank Mythical Mecha Titan with a golden artifact weapon was awe-inspiring, it was no match for the 3 million beams from the Celestial Serpent Main Cannons, as those beams were also fired by 5th and 6th Rank Celestial Serpent Warships.
Corpse Dog's greatest reliance was not himself, but the Luminous Star Tower behind him.
As the owner of the 3rd Yaoguang Star Token and a 6th Rank Dreadnought Captain, he was qualified to mobilize a portion of the Luminous Star Tower's power.
When the Mythical Mecha Titan appeared, the towering Luminous Star Tower behind it also shone with dazzling starlight.
Inside the Mythical Mecha Titan, Corpse Dog's divine mind shifted, and the next second, the infinite starlight behind him began to rapidly converge towards the Mythical Mecha.
"Radiant Star Arrival!"
With a mutter, infinite starlight suddenly surged from the Mythical Mecha Titan, rushing straight into the depths of the starry sky above.
Below, on the Civilizational Great Wall, Song Chi stared at the starry sky above. A gigantic void rift with a diameter of over 10,000 kilometers had torn through the dark starry sky, and infinite starlight poured out from it, as if something was forcefully passing through the void rift to descend upon this starry sea.
The starlight shone brilliantly, illuminating the entire dark starry sky.
Song Chi never expected that an ancient star would descend from the terrifying spatial rift above.
In his view, a 100km-tall Mecha Titan stood in the starry sky, holding an ancient star above its head and a golden spear in its hand, resembling a Celestial Sovereign standing in the starry sky, suppressing everything with its infinite starlight.
This scene stirred people's blood and left a deep impression on Song Chi's mind.
A true man should be like this!
As this thought crossed his mind, he heard an explanation from a Star Tower member.
"Corpse Dog summoned the power of the Luminous Star Tower to empower himself, and then used the Luminous Star Tower's ultimate secret art, 'Radiant Star Arrival'. With such a high level of compatibility, it's no wonder it displayed such might!"
Song Chi focused his mind and asked, "Can all our members summon the power of the Star Tower to empower themselves? And how do we learn the 'Radiant Star Arrival' secret art?"
The Star Tower members explained, "In theory, as long as you can withstand the power of the Luminous Star Tower, all Star Tower members can summon its power. However, in reality, only Battleship Captains and above can do so, and even then, they can only summon a tiny bit, or their bodies will be unable to bear the strain.
As for the 'Radiant Star Arrival' secret art, as long as you comprehend the Shining Star Chaos Monument, you'll have a chance to understand it."
After hearing these explanations, Song Chi understood the situation.
Looking up, as the projection of the Luminous Star descended, infinite starlight began to envelop the Frandia Kingdom Royal Fleet, instantly boosting the defensive capabilities of all warships and enhancing the Energy Shield values.
In contrast, the over 3 million beams from the Celestial Serpent Main Cannons were completely different. Under the nullification of the infinite starlight, the power of these millions of beams was significantly reduced.
However, even though Corpse Dog had done his best, he couldn't truly turn the tide of battle alone.
Countless explosions erupted above the Civilizational Great Wall. Even from a distance, Song Chi could see countless energy shockwaves surging towards him, but as a mere projection, he couldn't defend himself.
Beside him, the Star Tower members spoke, "It's enough. With Corpse Dog's intervention, the Frandia Kingdom Royal Fleet will likely suffer minimal casualties. After such a commotion, the reinforcement fleet will surely arrive soon, and this battle won't last long. There's nothing more for us to do."
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, and Song Chi followed them back into the Star Tower.
Although he had returned to the tower, his heart continued to race with excitement.
