Chapter 318 Crisis Arrives and Difficult Response
Lin Yu and his team quickly boarded the landing craft and sped back towards the "Starshine." Through the porthole, they saw the purple mist surrounding the planet begin to churn violently, energy fluctuations like surging waves, one after another. Ellie stared intently at the detection equipment in her hand; the data jumped wildly, showing that multiple unidentified objects were approaching at extremely high speeds.
"Lin Yu, the energy reaction of these unidentified objects is very peculiar, unlike anything we've encountered before," Ellie said anxiously. Lin Yu's expression was grave, his hands gripping the control stick tightly, his eyes revealing determination: "Whatever it is, get back to the 'Starshine' first and prepare for battle."
The landing craft successfully docked with the "Starshine," and Lin Yu and his team immediately rushed to the bridge. At that moment, alarms blared throughout the "Starshine," and the crew members were busy at their respective posts. Lin Yu quickly sat down at the command post, his eyes fixed on the screen: "Activate shields, charge weapon systems, and closely monitor the movements of those unidentified objects."
As the unidentified objects drew closer, the group finally made out their appearance. They were a group of enormous black spheres, their surfaces covered with strange patterns. Each sphere exuded a chilling aura, as if capable of freezing everything around it. These spheres were arranged in a ring, surrounding the "Starshine" and the entire planet.
"They've stopped advancing, but the energy fluctuations are still intensifying," the communications officer reported. Lin Yu frowned, pondering a countermeasure. Suddenly, one of the black spheres emitted a powerful beam of energy, shooting straight towards the "Starshine."
"Get out of the way!" Lin Yu shouted, simultaneously maneuvering the "Starshine" to the side. The energy beam grazed the edge of the spaceship and struck a distant asteroid, instantly blasting it into countless fragments.
“These things are too powerful; we can’t just sit here and take the hits,” Ellie analyzed the situation. “I think their arrangement might be some kind of energy matrix. We need to find the weakness in that matrix.”
The research team immediately sprang into action, using the advanced detection equipment on the "Starshine" spacecraft to conduct a comprehensive scan of the energy matrix of the black spheres. After a period of intense analysis, they discovered that the energy connections between these spheres exhibited brief instability at a specific frequency.
"Found it!" Ellie exclaimed excitedly. "We can launch a jamming wave to disrupt their energy connection, and then launch an attack."
Lin Yu immediately ordered, "Adjust weapon frequency, prepare to launch jamming wave." The "Starshine" weapon system quickly adjusted and launched a special jamming wave. After the jamming wave entered the energy matrix, it caused a strong fluctuation, and the energy connection between the black spheres was briefly disrupted.
"Now! Attack!" Lin Yu seized the opportunity and commanded the "Starshine" to fire a powerful energy beam at one of the black spheres. The energy beam struck its target, creating a crack on the surface of the black sphere and emitting a low hum.
However, the other black spheres seemed to sense the danger to their companion and quickly adjusted their energy matrix to strengthen their defenses. They fired energy beams again, this time in greater numbers and with greater power. The Starshine's shield flickered violently under the attack, and its energy readings plummeted.
"The shield can't hold!" the shield operator shouted. Lin Yu gritted his teeth and quickly thought of a solution. Just then, a mysterious figure from the Omega civilization, who had been monitoring the battle, spoke through a communicator: "We can provide some energy support to help you stabilize the shield."
Immediately afterwards, a gentle energy beam shot from the planet's surface toward the "Starshine," merging with the ship's shield energy. The "Starshine's" shield stabilized again, temporarily withstanding the black sphere's attack.
"Thank you!" Lin Yu said into the communicator. The mysterious figure responded, "We are all in the same boat. Only by fighting together can we have hope. These black spheres may be the vanguard of the Entropy Demon; they are preparing for its arrival."
Lin Yu was acutely aware of the gravity of the situation, and he and Ellie quickly discussed their next steps. They needed to find a way to completely destroy the black spheres before they could launch an even more ferocious attack, while also figuring out how to deal with the approaching Entropy Demons. But how could they break through this impasse against such a powerful enemy?
