Chapter 553: Engaging for the Second Time

With Luo Yuan's current power, such a war could no longer trigger him. As he entered the state of transcendence, he was capable of stopping the Gla.s.sian from traveling with warp drive in merely one second and at the same time, he could also make them decompose into atoms.

However, he resisted his urge to act impulsively. This war was very much like a baptism of blood and fire to the humans. It was a trial for them, achieving interstellar civilization status from the planetary civilization one. Regardless if it was a victory or a defeat, it would still be a valuable experience for humans.

Right at that moment, Luo Yuan raised his head up, looking at the Gla.s.sian s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps that were lingering mid-air as they were being attacked by the human s.p.a.ce fighters.

The next moment, he teleported and appeared next to one of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps.

On the streamlined s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, there were obvious signs that it had been attacked by the gamma-ray cannon of a s.p.a.ce fighter. The streaks were formed after it being melted by the high temperature and condensed right after. It looked like a frozen wave engraved on its surface.

All the information of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p gushed into Luo Yuan's mind with just one glance.

The armor of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was made with an advanced metal that had been compressed to a ratio of about 25. It was weaker than the metal normally used by the human interstellar s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps that had been compressed to a ratio of 30. However, the energy level of the s.p.a.ce fighter could hardly get through the armor of the Gla.s.sian s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.

The thickness of the armor of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p had reached about 50 meters but the gamma-ray cannon only managed to melt about 10 meters of it. The main impact came from the penetrating power of the gamma-ray.

Soon, Luo Yuan entered the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.

He immediately blocked his sense of smell as a pungent smell reached his nostrils when he entered.

It was filled with smoke and everything was burnt. Many of the parts were still burning and flashes of lightning appeared occasionally. It looked like an explosion of a nuclear bomb had happened and he could no longer see the original look of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.

Luo Yuan waved his hand, all the smoke and flames disappeared in an instant.

As it was destroyed by the gamma-ray, most of the equipment was damaged. However, he somehow felt familiar with the internal design of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.

The human technology and the Gla.s.sian technology were derived from the same origin to some extent. The human s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was built by referring to the Gla.s.sian first generation s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. Perhaps humans would need to spend around 100 years for a significant change in technology where the imprints of the Gla.s.sian technology would disappear completely.

The human wars.h.i.+p looked more like a wars.h.i.+p whereas the Gla.s.sian wars.h.i.+p looked like a dual-use s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.

It was big and s.p.a.cious. However, they had wasted the s.p.a.ce they had. This would not happen in the human wars.h.i.+p as s.p.a.ce would be used effectively in order to prepare for the war.

A large number of fuel cells that were as tall as skysc.r.a.pers, countless fusion furnaces, almost all the empty s.p.a.ces were used to prepare for the war.

Perhaps it was because they had never encountered any dangers, the Gla.s.sian s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p looked peaceful enough. However, humans had never stopped engaging in wars ever since the apocalypse. They were struggling to survive even after leaving Earth. During the evacuation, they were getting themselves ready for war as well.

Luo Yuan was jealous as he recalled this. Such a race was not qualified to exist in the universe.

…

The Gla.s.sian had only traveled a distance of two light years and then returned.

When a war happened again after the humans had taken the lead for the first time, it had then turned out to be a one-sided battle.

Countless high-density energy beams streaked across s.p.a.ce but they failed to hit the target.

Gla.s.sian had completely given up on the weapon system attack. They rushed towards them with only their warp drive. One and a half day later, one of the human s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps pa.s.sed by and then it instantly stopped.

Fortunately, the distance between the three s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps was big enough so that they were not all destroyed.

However, it was meaningless.

When the opponent was not identified and no attacks could be made, regardless of how many s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps remained, they were all rendered useless.

In addition, the Gla.s.sian had obviously learned a lesson, they were no longer flying in a straight line. They started flying on a curvature path, resulting in the probability of hitting the target by luck to be even lower.

All the weapon systems could no longer identify, estimate, or accurately determine the location of the target.

All approaches were rendered useless when encountering a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p that was flying at a superluminal speed. Humans could only rely solely on luck.

Soon, the Gla.s.sian's fleet flew pa.s.sed the fort situated in the outermost region at a terrifying speed, heading towards the s.p.a.ce City. The s.p.a.ce defense system meant nothing to the Gla.s.sian s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p and a hole was formed as it penetrated through it.

At that moment, in the human flags.h.i.+p that was still in the outer region of the galaxy, Hou Shuwen pressed the main cannon launching b.u.t.ton. There was a sheer layer of sweat on his forehead due to the weapon in the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p having been switched to the manual mode by him.

Initially, he wanted to attack the Gla.s.sian s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p with his instinct.

However, he was in despair for no matter how hard he tried to capture the right moment, his ability to sense with his instinct seemed to have disappeared.

He found out that his instinct would do nothing when encountering a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p that traveled at a superluminal speed.

"It's not working, it's still not working!"

Sweat was dripping from his forehead and he was stressed. He was about to have a mental breakdown.

He had been sitting in his seat for more than half a day. However, he dared not press the b.u.t.ton.

Seeing the Gla.s.sian s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p getting further away from them and the chance of attacking them getting smaller and smaller, he had then decided to rely on luck. An oppressive aura instantly spread out and the bodies of the people who were in the control room became stiff. Their mind went blank.

Hou Shuwen felt that something was wrong, struggling to turn his head back. As a hidden evolved man with unique sense, his will was considered strong as he had barely managed to stay conscious.

The cabin door that had been locked, opened on its own. A figure that looked like a spirit gradually walked towards them. His body trembled a little as soon as he saw the face of the figure. He then lost his senses. He felt strange as the figure had an odd skin tone that looked non-human.

He was stunned and was unable to think.

There was no warning from the artificial intelligence system, it was if he was in the crew of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.

Hou Shuwen could sense that the person glanced at him, he stood up and moved aside like a sleepwalker as if everything was reasonable.

The person who entered was Luo Yuan.

He could accept failure and injuries. However, it was meaningless to engage in a one-sided war. The war must end at the s.p.a.ce City. His adopted son was stationed at the s.p.a.ce City and he had to stop things from happening over there.

Luo Yuan sat down and hesitated for a moment. After a short while, he untied the plasma screen on his forehead. As the screen disappeared, his four-dimensional vision was released.

He felt dizzy but he managed to adapt to it very quickly.

A large and clear four-dimensional scene appeared in his mind. The Gla.s.sian fleet could be clearly seen.
