"That's not right, you guys look outside."
Suddenly, a squad leader shouted with excitement.
"Damn, Lao Liu, you still have that habit of making a fuss over nothing... Holy crap, are those liquid combat robots?"
At this moment, hundreds of thousands of divine senses frantically unfurled. The cargo doors beneath the warship opened, and hundreds of thousands of fighter jets poured out like trash. Then, like sharp arrows, they shot out tens of kilometers in an instant.
"My god, that's fast. I remember the seventh-generation fighter jets I used to fly weren't even half this speed!"
"Seventh-generation fighters? Kid, no offense to your old buddies, but look at those fighter jets. They're all unmanned, and if you look closely, their entire bodies are changing while they fly."
A captain looked at the most vociferous subordinate with disdain. Seventh-generation fighters still belonged to the Blue Star civilization, and this one, in Xiao Li's words, hadn't even touched the threshold of a second-level civilization.
If one had to give an overall technological rating for the Blue Star civilization, Xiao Li's answer was peak first-level civilization.
"Changing?"
"Holy cow... That's amazing. They can transform while flying at such high speeds? Are they Transformers?"
Clearly, their understanding of eighth-level technological civilization was based on Blue Star's technology.
Meanwhile, in the warship's command bridge, Zhou Ningdong, two deputy commanders, and twelve regimental commanders watched all the machines in their divine senses with solemn expressions. Although this was just an experiment.
At this moment, the five hundred thousand mechanized units, now silver-gray fighter jets, had appeared a thousand kilometers away in just over a minute.
"Enemy has entered our fifty-thousand-kilometer attack range. Primordial Chaos Main Cannon is ready. Primordial Chaos Shield System activated."
Sixteen massive cannon barrels suddenly emerged from the top and lower sides of the Hankong warship. After rotating, they all aimed at the same direction. Simultaneously, a faint halo appeared on the warship's hull, like a laser, segmenting the entire airspace within ten kilometers of the ship into a grid with these laser-like patterns, before disappearing.
"Amazing, Xiao Li, this grid seems… different? Is there some kind of connection between them?" Zhou Ningdong, despite being a quasi-emperor, was completely perplexed by these technological marvels.
"Yes, Master. This is called a signal wave. It's based on electromagnetic waves and utilizes a persistent radix. Although the grid you see now seems to have disappeared, the electromagnetic waves are still there; they've just been hidden." Xiao Li replied charmingly to Zhou Ningdong's question.
Hidden!
Zhou Ningdong's divine sense was still at the third realm, yet even with the third realm's divine sense, he could detect these hidden electromagnetic waves.
"How exactly does this Primordial Chaos Shield System protect us? Is it just relying on these electromagnetic waves?" Deputy Commander Lin asked with confusion.
After all, electromagnetic waves were common on Blue Star. How had they become such a powerful defense system here?
"Yes, Deputy Commander Lin. You'll know soon enough." Xiao Li smiled.
In the void, the five hundred thousand fighter jets' hulls blended almost seamlessly with the surrounding environment. Even cultivators with slightly weaker divine senses couldn't detect them, let alone radar.
The fighter jets were fast, and the enemy's speed was no less.
Zhou Ningdong swept his divine sense across the entire battlefield. Upon discovering that the enemy's five million soldiers were mostly at the Sun Realm cultivation level, he breathed a sigh of relief. Most importantly, he didn't detect any peak realm experts among the enemy. The strongest were only at the early Monarch stage.
An army primarily composed of Sun Realm cultivators was truly no match for mechanized units with the combat power of Great Sages. Even a strong expert at the early Monarch stage would have to retreat in the face of these immortal Great Sage-level mechanized units.
*Whoosh...*
Suddenly, the surface of the fighter jets, flying at extreme speed, flowed like liquid. Droplets of liquid shot out like bullets towards the enemy. They moved so fast that even divine sense at the third realm could barely track them.
This...
Everyone was stunned. They looked at the bullets raining down like raindrops and then at the fighter jets, which were gradually shrinking as they fired. A chill ran down their spines.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Form defensive formations!" The enemy general, a Monarch-level expert, couldn't fully see the trajectory of the bullets, but it didn't prevent him from sensing the danger.
However, his warning was ultimately too late.
*Thwack...*
*Ding...*
The bullets pierced their metal armor and embedded themselves in their flesh. Although they didn't penetrate completely, the tiny bullets seemed to contain some kind of energy that exploded within their bodies, turning their internal organs into sieves. In an instant, a group of enemy soldiers was in agony!
"Goddammit, these bastards from the Ten Directions Empire are dishonorable! Using concealed weapons!"
A soldier's chest armor was pierced by three bullet holes, and blood gushed continuously from the thumb-sized wounds. Even though he seemed unaware, he raised his great axe and charged forward like a cannonball.
"All you wounded, retreat to the rear immediately and expel those hidden fragments from your bodies as quickly as possible! Shield Corps, double shields up!"
It had to be said that while these soldiers weren't exceptionally strong, they were definitely well-trained. Even their commanders' response capabilities surpassed those of Zhou Ningdong and his men.
However, they had no idea that those so-called concealed weapons were anything but. Those so-called fragment fragments were like living beings, flowing within their bodies, and some even entered their dantian and sea of consciousness.
Soon, they discovered the anomaly, but by then it was too late. These fragments rampaged within their bodies, making it impossible for them to drive them out peacefully.
Even more so, they failed to notice that the fragments they had expelled from their bodies were slowly wriggling, merging together, and then transforming into a figure shimmering with metallic luster. He raised his head, looked at the terrified gazes around him, and actually smiled. Then, he raised the materialized long saber in his hand and instantly plunged it into the shield corps.
"Freaks, too freaky. Can something like this really be manufactured by a technological civilization? Even the top assassins aren't this good!"
"Assassins? What assassins? Didn't you see them engaging in direct combat face-to-face?"
"Can you guys stop talking? I'm recording a video on my phone. This is the ultimate science fiction movie."
At the training square of Sting, everyone stared dumbfounded at the scene on the giant screen, each of them gasping.
