Chapter 696 Solo Star Breakthrough
The level six black giant named Daryl saw three planets the first thing he saw when he stepped out of the teleportation array.
They floated silently beneath the starlight, moving slowly along three different orbits.
The innermost part is a reddish-brown rocky planet.
The scorching earth is riddled with metal mines, and crisscrossing rail transport lines cover the surface of the celestial body like scars.
The planet in the middle is the primary colony of the entire Heng system.
Dark green vegetation covers the continent, while gray-white urban clusters spread along the coastline and plains.
The thousands of kilometers long rail elevator pierces the heavens and the earth, its top reflecting a cold, silvery glow under the starlight.
At the outermost edge of this star system is a gas giant.
Colonial outposts were also established on its largest satellite.
Three planets, like three leaves hanging on an invisible branch.
Therefore, this star system was named "Trifoliate" by the Tentacle Tree Civilization.
Daryl stood in the universe, his chest opening and closing slightly, his gaze slowly sweeping over the outermost satellite.
According to the information, an indigenous civilization lived there. They were a kind of intelligent native creature that was listed as a "protected species" after being conquered by the Tentacle Tree Civilization.
They were kept in so-called nature reserves, with a fixed number of visitors allowed each year for colonial nobles to see them.
This is somewhat similar to a zoo.
Just then, a sharp and piercing warning suddenly rang out across the three planets.
With the help of the space early warning device, the moment the five black giants appeared, the three colonies simultaneously entered the highest alert state.
The defensive platforms on all planetary orbits of the three planets rapidly turned, their cannons opened, and blue lights began to converge and accumulate energy.
Near the star's orbit, several massive energy harvesting devices slowly adjusted their orientation.
Those devices were enormous, able to cast clear shadows even on the corona of a star.
They began to draw energy from the stars, and the orange-red energy flow converged wildly along the transmission orbit, surging into the central energy storage core.
At the same time, the garrison fleets on the three colonies also took to the air.
Hundreds of engine exhaust plumes shot out of the atmosphere, leaving neat white trails in the starry sky. They then quickly deployed, forming an interception formation. Inside the flagship's command center, the garrison commander gripped the control panel tightly, his tentacles turning slightly white from the excessive force.
The signals from the five targets on the detector were crystal clear.
There are only five.
He even checked the scan results three times, but it was still five.
But his heart sank deeper and deeper.
Because the energy reading of the foremost target is displayed as: "Exceeding the upper limit of the range".
The next four are standard level five fluctuations.
Five pairs of thousands of warships.
If we only look at numbers, they have an absolute advantage.
However, the battle report of the complete annihilation of the border fleet had already been synchronized to all colonial military districts.
He knew exactly what "exceeding the upper limit of the range" meant, but the current situation didn't allow him to think about it any further.
The battle broke out without warning, with the fully charged Star Orbiter Cannon firing first.
boom!
Several orange-red beams of light suddenly shot out from the edge of the star; they were focused torrents formed by directly extracting the star's energy.
The beam of light spans tens of millions of kilometers.
Wherever it passed, interstellar dust evaporated instantly, leaving behind brief dark streaks in the vacuum.
In theory, the power of a single railgun of this level exceeds the maximum power of a Tier VI warship's main gun.
Now, they have all locked onto Daryl at sub-light speed.
In response, Daryl simply straightened his body slightly, completely blocking the position that was originally in front of the players behind him.
The orange-red beam of light struck him with a deafening roar, and the dazzling light instantly engulfed his upper body.
The coronal mass exploded into massive streams of high-temperature plasma, sweeping across his body like a solar storm, its blinding brilliance even eclipsing distant stars. Inside the bridge, all the tentacle trees stared intently at the observation screen.
Then, as the light faded, Daryl remained standing there motionless, without even a mark on his chest.
The stellar energy, enough to vaporize a warship, circulated around his liquid metal body before being evenly absorbed into his entire being.
Daryl's chest cavity slowly opened and then slowly closed, as if savoring the energy he had just experienced.
The next instant, he raised his hand and made a light touch towards the direction of the orbital cannon.
hum! ! !
A dark shockwave, condensed to its extreme, instantly pierced through the starry sky, traversing a distance of tens of millions of kilometers in a flash.
The energy harvesting devices in the star's orbit didn't even have time to deploy a second layer of shield; the moment the defensive barrier came into contact with the shockwave, it shattered like a fragile eggshell.
Immediately afterwards, the entire structure began to collapse from the center.
The steel structure crumbled layer by layer, eventually turning into countless fragments, which were slowly dragged into the depths of the corona by the star's gravity.
The bridge was deathly silent.
Daryl had already turned around.
"Ashel, Emerson. The inner planet is yours."
"Everett, Perry. The outer satellite is yours."
The mental energy was converted into communication signals through the Dao Soldier System and transmitted to the four Level 5 Black Giants around him.
"I'll take charge of the main planet."
"learn!"
Upon receiving the order, the four black giants immediately dispersed, transforming into two small teams that flew off in different directions.
The garrison fleet attempted to intercept them, but the artillery fire was so intense that it couldn't even slow them down.
The black giants didn't even glance at the warships, and walked straight through the fleet formation.
As the elemental shockwaves generated by their rapid flight spread, several escort ships that were too close immediately lost control and tumbled over.
Daryl ignored the enemy fleet that was already in chaos and landed alone on the main colony.
His speed wasn't actually fast, at least not by the standards of the Black Giant.
But for the tentacle trees on the ground...
It was a colossal black god, comparable to a mountain, slowly descending from the heavens.
The air was drastically compressed the moment Daryl entered the atmosphere.
boom!!!
A massive, visible white shockwave cloud exploded around him, whipping up the surrounding clouds with fierce winds.
The shockwave dispersed large swaths of clouds, making the entire sky appear brighter.
The planet's orbital defenses reacted instantly, with thousands of defenses at different orbital altitudes simultaneously locking on. Energy beams, electromagnetic cannons, missile arrays... countless attacks poured in from all directions, completely engulfing Daryl in mid-air, leaving him to be swallowed by all the attacks.
Then, he blew out a breath, and a vast amount of energy suddenly surged out from the vertical opening in his chest cavity.
Rumble!!!
A spherical elemental shockwave spread wildly outwards from him.
The shockwave struck the first orbital platform, instantly warping it and causing the energy core to overload and explode almost immediately. Then came the second, the third…
In mere seconds, thousands of orbital defense platforms across the entire planet were wiped out, and burning steel fragments rained down on the earth like a meteor shower. A single strike.
The entire planet's outer atmospheric defense system was completely paralyzed.
