Chapter 444: Counteract

The advanced technology possessed by the Glassian civilization had resulted in the prompt delivery of messages which were difficult for hackers to intercept or steal information from.

When Luo Yuan destroyed one of the aircrafts, the incident was detected by the second aircraft as well as the mothership which was located further away. They immediately proceeded with preparations to battle Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan had easily defeated the aircraft without feeling any threat from it at all when in fact, the Glassians’ aircraft seemed rather terrifying. Instead of identifying it as an aircraft, it actually looked more like a small spaceship that traveled within the galaxies. It also looked like the international space station before the apocalypse.

The engine used was an impulse engine with nuclear power and the energy stored in the deep nuclear fusion reactor was almost 50 times the power generated by the Three Gorges hydropower plant [1].

What was meant by deep nuclear fusion reactor?

Basically, the fusion of hydrogen bombs merely produced helium nuclei which only converted 0.7% of the mass to energy. However, the reactor of the deep nuclear fusion reactor could directly produce iron which has a 43% mass-to-energy conversion and its energy utilizing rate was 60 times higher. It could have supplied sufficient energy to the entire region of China before the apocalypse.

In addition, the aircraft was equipped with a particle cannon. 40% of the cannon was made up of an electromagnetic gun which fired at supersonic speeds while the other 60% of it was made up of a high-power laser rapid-firing gun. 12 of them were nuclear antimatter smart orbital ballistic missiles. The radar of the aircraft was completely invincible as it was stacked with armor that could absorb shock waves. The aircraft could have easily destroyed Earth with such an arsenal.

…

Luo Yuan’s speed gradually increased as he was flying through the fourth dimension.

After 10 minutes, his speed had reached hundreds of kilometers per second and he flew like a soundless beam of light. Within half a minute, an arc flashed across the sky followed by the eruption of dazzling bursts of light behind it. Countless of highly-energized particles turned into flashes of light which brightened the dark sky. Luo Yuan felt that his back was burning from those particles. He knew that the opponent was using nuclear weapons like nuclear bombs to launch high energy attacks.

Luo Yuan discovered that although the bubble was strong enough that he could defend himself against normal attacks, light could still penetrate through. Otherwise, the space around him would have been very dark and he would not be able to see what was happening outside. He should have noticed this fact earlier but he had neglected to notice it. Nevertheless, it was not too late to realize it now. Beams of light were reflected and refracted by the different layers as they entered and eventually, approximately 70% of the light would be able to penetrate through the space-time bubble. Besides that, the rate of reflection of the light could potentially become even higher as his Will got stronger.

Luo Yuan was nearly entering outer space and the air had become extremely thin; it was almost close to being an absolute vacuum state. Luo Yuan thought to himself that the damage caused by the antimatter bombs were dependent on the environment so compared to the damage that had been caused by the bomb explosions on Earth, its damage would be drastically reduced without the presence of air.

The lights lasted for only 10 seconds before it went off, however, Luo Yuan was really tensed and his heart pounded rapidly. He felt a sense of insecurity as if he was close to death. He immediately switched his flight path from traveling in a straight line to moving in a fast and irregular manner. Just as he had changed his direction, he felt a strong sense of danger and soon he had foreseen that a powerful force was coming towards him. Five dazzling suns arose in the dead sky and each of the strong and highly energized rays stood out against the actual sunlight.

The surrounding area was filled with numerous high-energy particles and the temperature had risen up to 10,000 degrees Celsius. He had pictured in his prediction that he was unable to avoid the rays and the bright light engulfed him completely. The scene turned black after awhile as he was standing in between the highly-energized particles. His strong body had completely melted and was turned into gas by the rapid moving energetic particles. Luo Yuan calmed down after he had watched his own death from a different view. He went into teleportation mode by flying through the fourth dimension.

Thanks to his 17 points of Agility, he was able to teleport into the distance in merely 0.005 seconds. He was now more than thousands of kilometers away after only three teleports. He looked up and the tiny dot appeared in front of his eyes. He estimated the distance between them and smiled before launching another teleportation.

He teleported another seven times, covering a distance of 2,000 kilometers and appeared next to the engine of the aircraft. Being so close to the engine, he could feel the high temperature of his surroundings. The next moment, he pulled out his knife and an invisible space wave struck the armored aircraft, leaving a long crack in its body.

It was just the beginning and in just a blink of an eye, countless waves struck the aircraft which caused it to no longer function. At this time, the antimatter bombs began to emit rays of light.

Luo Yuan breathed heavily as he floated above the aircraft.

He frowned, knowing that he had used up most of his Will after two consecutive attacks. His teleportation was a powerful ability which consumed a large amount of his Will. The battle was not over yet and he realized that the spaceship was way scarier than the aircraft. Earth would be in trouble if the spaceship ever landed onto it. It was no longer only a threat to human extinction but rather the extinction of all creatures on Earth. Perhaps the Earth would end up becoming a lifeless planet just like Mars.

His heart felt heavy as he ground his teeth while looking up at the sky. He then flew deeper into space in a space-time bubble.

…

At this moment, the Glassians were having an emergency meeting in the spaceship. They discussed their plans to battle Luo Yuan. The video reel of the two battles was played over and over again on the three-dimensional screen and the atmosphere was tense as everyone watched in silence.
