Chapter 691: Death of a Spider
“Co Hui said
“We haven’t seen any aliens yet,” Lan Jue replied “But we’ve steered clear of your exfiltration route We’ll be proceeding with the reconnaissance from a different path Admiral, we ask that you share the data froet clear of combat”
Under nor con national All of it was confidential and classified as a state secret Everything that was learned was paid for by the blood of Northern soldiers However, after everything that had transpired Kang Hui didn’t refuse their appeal He told Lan Jue the data was already available
The data transfer was quick On Zeus-1’s screens appeared the Bastion that had once tried to destroy Lan Jue Star Division’s co with the Wine Master and Clock they saw
Arachnid’srevelation to theh the alien forces as though it were invincible Tortoise-aliens were slashed down like they were made of bean curd
A shi+p worthy of the North’s reputation! Only huically advanced Alliance could create such an awesome monstrosity
But their admiration quickly turned to dread
They watched Arachnid charge the planet and crash into its surface with baited breath Arachnid’s deadly arms and mass had to make that alien world reel But it didn’t, instead they watched in stunned silence as the nat Their faces fell
Kang Hui didn’t edit anything froiven to them Even Arachnid’s internal systems data was provided like the size and attack power of the mechanical arms
Each one of Arachnid’s arms was equivalent in power to Heron’s main cannons They were considered inferior only because the shi+p needed to get in close to use them Still, it succeeded where all other cannon fire had failed and actually struck the alien! The result? Noare, much to everyone’s disbelief From the outside no shi+elds were evident around the planet, but Arachnid’s failed attack raised the question; how strong was this planet’s defense?
Could a cannon blast from Tyrannosaurus even break its shi+elds?
Lan Jue’sArachnid’s atte a shot frouns It either evaded them or used deception to protect itself But even if it did how e would it do?”
The Wine Master spoke, his voice low “If Arachnid’s inability to crack its shi+eld is any indication, even a cannon blast seems like it would have little effect The planet it encountered looks sht as well We can assume their close-combat abilities – their natural abilities – are very formidable”
Lan Jue nodded “Father said he sensed a power even stronger than his coest human alive? The limit of human capabilities, in fact He’s also told roer beyond the Infinite because universal law prohibits it But if that’s true for us, it should also be true for the aliens… it must have found some way to hide itself from the universe’s restrictions The Violet Prince referred to the King and Queen, the strongest of the aliens We know the planets are alive, so it’s safe to assu about? The Prince hion who’s reached the Infinite He was holding back in our fight so the universe wouldn’t recognize his power”
“So you’re saying these planets are so them?” The Wine Master asked
“Or souess,” Lan Jue replied “It’s the only explanation that makes sense and it answers e readily when needed If they were simply weapons they couldn’t react so fast But if they were akin to a physical body then you could say it’s like instinct”
“If this is a possibility we should try to confir this mission,” the Wine Master offered
