Chapter 688: The Splendor of Life!
The first thing Holravity? None whatsoever… what did it ravity a planet would break apart like sand It was smaller than a main sequence star, a white dwarf or a neutral star, but that didn’t excuse it from the laws of the universe!
However the Bastion had already crossed the point of no return, and uncertainly only bred fear at this point The ti with its massive arms
The plan wasn’t to smash into the planet directly With their size discrepancy the Bastion would certainly lose that dogfight Instead Holmen’s plan was a simple one; tear at it with Arachnid’s arms The East claimed it was alive, didn’t they? Very well, then! Then we’ll stab the da by, chop it up, blast it with the uns, repeat
It was Arachnid’s best ainst an enemy planet Holmen knew this, and in fact some had come to call him the World Butcher for his dark skillset He’d destroyedplanet for the benefit of the North
Booht bladed arms tore into the planet in no particular order
However, the gore or grit Arachnid’s Captain hope to see did not appear
Where Ares’ Cleavers struck the surface of the planet flashes with purple light The flashes deflected the strikes, leaving not so ed, spatting enormous purple tentacles that wrapped around Arachnid like boa constrictors
No! We were drawn in!
“Main cannon, fire!” Though surprise, Holmen wasn’t beaten yet He shouted the order to his subordinates
Firing the gun so close put Arachnid in the red zone – it was ed by the subsequent blast Holmen took this into consideration but erous, they needed to be stopped
The guns were primed, and at his co moment, the planet-born tentacles pulled Arachnid renched to the side just as the cannon released its payload The beaet entirely
It was like their foe had planned this froambit had failed But ho did it know the exact uns? A haze overca up on his forehead
The fighter shi+ps, seeing Arachnid waylaid, rushed in to its rescue They opened fire on the planet with everything they had
Ripples of purple light spread frouns continued to fire at whatever target they could reach Meanwhile its legs fought to free the was effective
How could this be? How could its shi+elds be so strong? Those thoughts screah Holmen’s head
But no matter howMore tentacles surged froh space at the darting fighters
The tentacles – the sest nearly ten thousand – were covered in countless suction discs With every swipe the discs caught some unfortunate pilot and either crushed their plane to ruin or threw them into their comrades
Railguns along Arachnid’s surface fired wildly at the tentacles, blowing many of them apart But when one fell, ten more appeared They wrapped around the Bastion to keep it fro force
How?! Hol the rapidly deteriorating situation pass before his eyes as data on a screen Their energy stores were being quickly exhausted
To think, he’d turned his nose up at the East’s intelligence? A living planet? Nonsense
He would have called tentacles rising froht outside histrying to rip his shi+p apart shi+elds that made a Bastion envious protected the impossible planet from harm, even from Are’s Cleavers
“Deploy theeven as he shouted the order Mechas would make no difference here
Not only had Arachnid had its victory snatched away, it seeasp
