Interstellar Survival: Invasion

Chapter 315: Secret Weapons

"This fellow has gone completely mad. We can't listen to that stupid idea," Domo immediately protested.

"What do you know, little guy? This is the only way to throw their formation into chaos. They would never have expected us to have the guts to charge through the middle of their army," said the fiend.

"Of course they wouldn't expect us. There is no need for them to even pay much attention to the center. It is strong enough as it is," countered Domo fearlessly, which was quite a surprise.

At that point, the battle ahead of us was growing in intensity. Numerous ships were flying everywhere as they engaged each other in combat. This was our window of opportunity. If we kept hesitating, we would miss the chance to escape.

"Zhang Xingxing, I'm Prince Toruse." Prince Toruse's voice came through the communicator. "The reinforcements have engaged the enemy in battle. You can make use of the chaos to escape."

"Prince, you're finally here for us!" said Dodo, who was excited to hear Prince Toruse's voice.

"Yes. I volunteered for this mission. Carter is leading the army in an attack to distract the enemy and create an opening. Be ready to charge out the moment the opening is created. Also, can I verify if you have really saved the great sovereign?" asked Prince Toruse.

"Yes, we did. It's a little bee. It's currently hiding within the body of a robot. You can talk to it after our escape," replied Dodo.

"Who are you calling a little bee? Who are you talking to?" asked the great sovereign unhappily.

"Big bug, why are you wasting time talking to them? Get ready. I'm going ahead to beat them up," said the fiend before lowering its head in preparation to charge forward.

"Little Ant, wait. Let me analyze the secret weapons," said the great sovereign.

At that moment, before we could do anything, a secret weapon made its appearance. An oddly-shaped ship appeared from among the enemy ships. The ship was akin to the combination of a cube and a cuboid. A long tube was slowly extending from the top of the ship.

"What weapon is this? Have you seen it before?" Zhang Xingxing asked Temo, her voice anxious.

"Weird. I've never seen this weapon either. I don't know how it works, but I suspect it is capable of dealing massive damage to the league's army," said Temo.

The long tube started emitting a bizarre purple light. Protected in the middle of a group of ships, the tube continued gathering force. Shortly after, two little black balls flew out of the tube. The two black balls looked extremely peculiar as well. It felt like they weren't black. Instead, light was being devoured at the edge of the two balls.

"What weapon is this? Don't tell me that the empire has produced two miniature black holes," said Old Du.

After the two black balls left the tube, they accelerated toward the league's army. At that time, we noticed that a layer of purple light had appeared around every single imperial ship in the area.

Before long, a black ball reached an Achilles-class battleship from the league. A surprising scene appeared. When the black ball approached the ship, it instantly lost control and started flying toward the black ball. Before long, one end of the ship turned into a long, slender silhouette, as though it was being rapidly devoured.

It took only a short time for the entire ship to vanish into the small black ball. No trace of the ship remained outside, and the black ball that had absorbed the ship had grown slightly in size.

"My god. What terrifying weapon is that? How did it swallow an entire battleship?" exclaimed Domo in fear.

"Has the empire really created a weapon that produces black holes? This is too scary," said Zhang Xingxing.

"This looks too weird. If the black balls are really black holes, the entire ship would have been torn apart before it was swallowed. However, the ship seemed to have evaporated instead. That doesn't look like the work of a black hole," said Temo doubtfully.

"But the edges of the black balls resemble a black hole's event horizon. Also, the black balls also seem to only work against the league's ships. The imperial ships are completely safe inside their purple light," said Baron Sisse.

At that time, a league cruiser was devoured as well. The battle became one-sided as the imperial army started stomping the league army. Perhaps the black balls were too scary. The league army started fleeing in a disorderly manner, their formation fully descending into chaos.

"Carter, the enemy is using an extremely terrifying weapon capable of swallowing an entire battleship. We still have no idea how that weapon works. Retreat for now. Do not get swallowed by the black ball," Kelly reminded her elder brother with concern.

While we were still at a loss over what to do, our two great allies started conversing.

"Little Ant, did you see that secret weapon? Do you still intend to charge right through them?"

"Hehe, I was wondering just how far technology has advanced all these years while I was asleep. This is just a simple magic trick. They're borrowing the might of black holes to scare a technologically weaker civilization," said the fiend.

"Little Ant, you are surprisingly smart. In that case, we'll need to trouble you to lend the losing party a hand," said the great sovereign confidently.

The great sovereign had barely finished speaking when the fiend dashed toward the secret weapon.

"Follow closely behind me. The moment you see an opening, charge through it," said the fiend.

We were completely confused, not knowing what to do.

"Do it! Follow that fellow! This is our chance to escape," reminded the great sovereign.

"Temo, follow the fiend," Zhang Xingxing recovered from her shock and hurriedly gave the order.

With that order, Markus set off and followed the fiend toward the oddly-shaped secret weapon.

"Use everything you have and stop the guards around the secret weapon. I'll deal with the secret weapon," said the fiend. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the weapon. A yellow curtain of light flickered into existence, indicating that the fiend was not holding back at all.

"Temo, do as told. Use all you have against the guards," ordered Zhang Xingxing. She was determined to fight alongside the fiend.

With the order, Markus released over 20 massive vigor bombs toward the guards around the secret weapon.

'How surprising. Markus is actually capable of releasing so many vigor bombs at once? For its size, this is a truly remarkable ship,' I thought.

Before long, the vigor bombs came in contact with the enemy ships. Numerous light waves rippled out of the bombs and spread toward the enemy ships. Both the shield and the body of the enemy ships would be devoured on contact. The guards were forced to retreat, but the light waves continued spreading before forming a circle around the fiend, giving it the space to do its task.

Things were progressing smoothly. Perhaps our enemy had not expected a sudden attack to hit the middle of their army when they were on the verge of victory. Thus, we were able to catch them by surprise. They were able to quickly reform their lines and prepare to assault the vigor bombs.

"Little Ant, if you're going to do something, do it now! I can't last much longer!" shouted Temo.

It was the fiend's showtime. It quickly reached the tube atop the secret weapon and wrapped its yellow curtain of light around the tube. With a pull, the tube was snapped apart.

"This fellow is too terrifyingly strong. It can always rely on brute strength in fights," said Anxashe with admiration.

The removal of the tube revealed a hole atop the secret weapon. From the hole, a bigger black ball flew out.

"What a joke. Watch as I burn you to death," said the fiend as it spewed a tongue of flame at the secret weapon.

However, the flame was instantly devoured by the black ball. In fact, it couldn't even get through the event horizon around the ball.

"Little Ant, this black ball is different. Be careful," reminded the wise great sovereign.

"This is a mere insignificant trick. They have cleverly utilized a wormhole to produce a fake black hole. Watch how I smash it apart," said the obstinate fiend. It ignored the great sovereign's warning and charged toward the black hole as the curtain of light around its body turned from yellow to purple.

"Shit! You dumb brute! You can't attack so directly!" said the great sovereign, who looked nervous for the very first time.

Alas, the fiend remained stubborn. It charged right toward the black ball, and unsurprisingly, a mishap occurred.
