Chapter 569: Hunting the Ancient Matriarch (Part 2)
Chapter 569: Hunting the Ancient Matriarch (Part 2)
With the return of this Dominator Sovereign, the three ships of the Immovable Bodhimanda were forced to shift their targets.
The battle situation once again turned against the Song family.
The highly intelligent Ancient Matriarch immediately sensed the change in the situation and seized the opportunity to activate another ability, intending to finish off the Song family's six battleships one by one.
As the highest-ranking mother in the Star Sea Insect Tribe, the Ancient Matriarch possessed considerable innate abilities.
Besides their extraordinary mental power and astonishing reproductive efficiency, they also had absolute control over the insect tribe they nurtured.
Realizing that the three ships of the Immovable Bodhimanda were the weakest link in the Song family's forces, the Sawtooth Bug that had just returned suddenly began to surge with energy.
The Sawtooth Bug's layered compound eyes turned blood-red, and its already formidable Dominator power skyrocketed several times within a short period.
Swish! The insect wings, harder than top-grade alloys, created numerous afterimages, continuously slicing into the hulls of the Immovable Bodhimanda, the Sea Anchoring Starlight, and the other two Unyielding Ships.
Within a blink of an eye, the hulls of the three Unyielding Ships were more than 50% damaged.
At this rate, even with ship repair components on board, they wouldn't last long.
"The Ancient Matriarch has forced the Sawtooth Bug into a frenzy!"
Song Chi and the others understood the reason and realized that the situation had turned dire for them.
The special frenzied state imposed by the Ancient Matriarch significantly reduced the life of the frenzied insects, but the boost was real. A Dominator lifeform instantly gained several times its combat power, and the pressure on the three Ancestors was unimaginable.
In the main control room of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, Song Chi's thoughts raced.
The next second, his eyes lit up, and he turned to the Wing Deployment Station, which hadn't been used for a long time.
...
Clang!
[Warning: External attack detected. Ship armor damaged by 80%. Hull integrity at 46%. Please repair immediately!]
After enduring another attack from the frenzied Sawtooth Bug, the Immovable Bodhimanda's armor was on the verge of shattering.
Song Shiyuan activated a red repair component on the ship with his mind, restoring the armor to 40% damage and the hull to 31% damage, while his thoughts raced.
"The enemy is too agile; we must restrain this Sawtooth Bug for 1-2 seconds to have a chance to counterattack!"
In the ship's communication group chat, as soon as Song Shiyuan finished speaking, Song Xingru's response came through.
"Let me try. The Purple Moon Long Song has a silver Bio-Magnetic Lock component. As long as the Sawtooth Bug comes into direct contact with the ship, it should be able to hold it for a second. You can take the opportunity to strike!"
"No, your ship's armor defense attribute has already been used. Once our attack erupts, it will inevitably drag the Purple Moon Long Song into the fray. Without the ship's armor defense attribute, it won't be able to withstand the damage!"
As they discussed, a spatial fluctuation emanated from the side of the battlefield.
Song Shixing, who specialized in the Spatial Law, immediately noticed it and glanced over with his peripheral vision. The next moment, he smiled with delight.
"A Sixth Rank Tribulation Star in a frenzied state is assisting us while distracted."
As he spoke, the Tribulation Star that had been teleported from the side began to rapidly expand, and in an instant, the aura of a Near Seventh Rank enveloped the three Unyielding Ships.
"The Tribulation Star under the Enslavement Seal · Frenzy is only a Near Seventh Rank unit, far inferior to the Sawtooth Bug that has surged to the peak of Seventh Rank. However, with the protection of its Near Seventh Rank power, the pressure on the three ships of the Immovable Bodhimanda has been greatly reduced."
"Little Chi, have the Tribulation Star hold the Sawtooth Bug for as long as possible!"
Through the ship's communication component, Song Shiyuan sent a message to Song Chi.
Understanding the Ancestor's intention, Song Chi immediately issued an order to the Tribulation Star.
Buzz! The stars shone, and the void above the battlefield suddenly tore open, projecting a sizable Death Tribulation Star projection from the spatial rift.
Under the glow of the Death Tribulation Star, the Sawtooth Bug's ghostly speed was slightly suppressed. In contrast, the Tribulation Star's Dominator power became more concentrated, and its speed received a boost as well.
However, it still wasn't enough. The original speed difference between the two was too vast for a single Death Tribulation Star projection to bridge.
"Shixing!"
Song Shixing responded to Song Shiyuan's call, his mind racing.
[Prism Mirror] - "Immobilizing Light"! A faint glow shot out from the Steadfast Dragon Rising, precisely hitting the swiftly flying Sawtooth Bug. Unfortunately, the Prism Mirror was only a red component, and its effect on a frenzied Dominator was extremely limited.
Indeed, the Sawtooth Bug, hit by the Immobilizing Light, only paused for a moment, far from enough time for the Immovable Bodhimanda to launch an attack.
This was still the case even though Song Shixing specialized in the Law of Light, providing some enhancement to the "Immobilizing Light." Otherwise, even this brief pause might not have been possible.
In the brief moment, Song Shiyuan was unable to launch an attack, but for the Tribulation Star Tribe, who possessed near-Seventh Rank power, it was more than enough.
Taking advantage of the opponent's pause, the Tribulation Star Tribe's body was engulfed in a surge of starlight, and their body shot out like a cannonball, reaching the vicinity of the Sawtooth Kingbug. Their blood-colored steam-covered arm successfully grasped the bug's wings, as sharp as the finest blades.
Two completely different Sovereign powers collided, causing the sky above the Floating Land to change dramatically. The Tribulation Star Tribe's palm was drenched in blood, barely withstanding the cuts from the Sawtooth Kingbug's wings.
However, with Song Chi's command, the Tribulation Star Tribe refused to let go, even in excruciating pain, forcing the Sawtooth Kingbug to be restrained in its original position for several seconds.
Hiss! The Sawtooth Kingbug's menacing mouthparts opened, and its roar echoed through the sky, expressing its anger.
At that moment, Song Shiyuan seized the opportunity and activated a Blink Module on the warship, causing the Immovable Bodhimanda, which was hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, to appear right in front of the Sawtooth Kingbug in the next instant.
Furthermore, the warship's bow was aimed directly at the Sawtooth Kingbug's gaping maw.
In the main control room of the warship, Song Shiyuan's eyes gleamed with determination as he activated the fully charged golden component without hesitation.
"Star Annihilation Wrath, fire!"
Thus, the temporarily transformed Star Annihilation Cannon at the bow of the Immovable Bodhimanda fired a Star Annihilation Beam directly into the Sawtooth Kingbug's mouth.
Boom!
The energy shockwave resulting from the explosion of the Star Annihilation Beam swept through the area, overwhelming everything in its path. The Sawtooth Kingbug, the Tribulation Star Tribe, and the Immovable Bodhimanda, being at the very center of the explosion, were the first to be engulfed by the terrifying energy shockwave.
"Shiyuan!"
From a distance, Song Xingru and Song Shixing simultaneously cried out, their eyes filled with concern.
As time passed and the shockwave from the explosion subsided, the two soon saw the Immovable Bodhimanda reappear through another Blink Module.
The current state of the Immovable Bodhimanda was truly appalling. Not only was its energy shield completely overloaded, but the damage to its armor had exceeded 90%, and the overall damage to the ship had reached 72%, just a hair's breadth away from the 80% threshold where it would be unable to move.
However, the outcome was evidently excellent, as the Immovable Bodhimanda had managed to endure the blast.
Looking at the Sawtooth Kingbug in the distance, its head was half-blown open, and its lower abdomen was a bloody mess due to the explosion's epicenter being its mouth. With such injuries, as long as there were no unexpected events, the outcome of the battle was unlikely to change.
Witnessing this, a smile flashed across Song Shiyuan's eyes, indicating his satisfaction with the result.
In truth, he had taken this risk without much assurance, relying solely on his confidence in making a full retreat.
The enhanced level 70 Golden Red Sun Flame Energy Shield, coupled with the second unused red repair component, assured him that the Immovable Bodhimanda could survive the explosion.
However, he had no idea about the severity of the Sawtooth Kingbug's injuries, as it was already a Seventh Rank peak-level Sovereign Kingbug.
The current outcome was already the best-case scenario.
Inside the Lotus Time Realm, Song Chi's attention returned to the Sawtooth Kingbug's injuries, and he breathed a sigh of relief. As for the Tribulation Star Tribe member who had perished in the explosion, it was of no consequence.
His gaze shifted downward, once again focusing on the Ancient Matriarch below.
"Are you thinking of activating the next Frenzy ability...?"
Song Chi's eyes darkened as he observed the rapidly accumulating life force atop the Ancient Matriarch's head.
To the side, the elder Song Wujiang also noticed this.
In the main control room of the Sea Tamer Dragon Soaring, Song Wujiang's gaze fell upon a golden component.
The Void Exile activated the "Void Exile."
A golden light filled the main control room, and a vast spatial force poured out from the warship, quickly engulfing the opposing Sovereign Kingbug.
The void tore open, and a giant spatial rift slowly formed. Before long, the Sovereign Kingbug was forcibly exiled into the depths of the void rift.
No matter how much it struggled, it couldn't prevent the spatial rift from healing. Once the rift completely disappeared, the Sovereign Kingbug was fully exiled into the void.
Of course, this exile wasn't permanent. With the Sovereign Kingbug's formidable strength, it wouldn't take long for it to break free.
However, Song Wujiang clearly had no time to worry about that. The Sea Tamer Dragon Soaring's engines roared as it rushed towards the Ancient Matriarch below.
The space flickered, and when the Star Annihilation Ship reappeared, it was directly above the Ancient Matriarch's head.
The light at the bow of the warship, condensed to its utmost, suddenly erupted, and an Annihilation Beam shot towards the Ancient Matriarch's head.
Song Wujiang intended to interrupt the Ancient Matriarch's activation of the second Frenzy with this attack, but he was ultimately a step too late.
As the Annihilation Beam exploded atop the Ancient Matriarch's head, the second Frenzy had already been activated.
Inside the Lotus Time Realm, Song Chi scanned his surroundings.
"It's not there... Could it be...?"
He muttered, his gaze turning towards the location where the Sea Tamer Dragon Soaring had previously exiled the Sovereign Kingbug.
