Chapter 157 Shield Upgrade and the Alliance's Proactive Offensive
After successfully repelling the attack of the evil fleet, the Alliance gained a brief respite. However, the Star Council knew that the evil forces would not give up easily, and this crisis was only the beginning. Therefore, under the protection of the Ultimate Star Energy Shield, the research team worked tirelessly to upgrade the shield, attempting to further explore its potential to cope with even more powerful attacks in the future.
Scientists carefully analyzed the shield's performance data when defending against attacks from evil forces. They discovered that while the shield successfully withstood most attacks, it still experienced minor energy losses and fluctuations when facing certain specific energy frequencies of the evil forces. To address this issue, researchers on Starshine proposed a bold idea—introducing a novel stellar energy stabilizing element. This element would automatically adjust its energy structure to match the shield's stellar energy frequency when attacked, thus compensating for these minor weaknesses and significantly enhancing the shield's stability and durability.
After a long and arduous search and experimentation, they finally discovered this precious element in a distant asteroid belt. The Alliance immediately organized a mining fleet to travel to the asteroid belt to mine it. During the mining process, the fleet encountered the harsh environment of the asteroid belt and frequent meteorite impacts, but thanks to their superb piloting skills and tenacious perseverance, they successfully collected enough stable element and brought it back to the research base.
The rune masters of the Starry Sky Clan redesigned and re-engraved the shield's rune array based on the characteristics of the new element. They added runic symbols that resonated with the stable element to the existing runes, making the entire rune array more intricate and complex. These new runes not only guide the energy of the stable element but also automatically activate a series of defensive mechanisms when the shield is attacked, such as energy reflection and interference wave emission, further enhancing the shield's defensive capabilities.
The Eldar psionicists were also actively engaged, further strengthening their mental connection with the Astral Shield through deep meditation and mental training. Now, they can more acutely perceive the shield's state and react instantly, adjusting its energy distribution and defensive focus accordingly. Simultaneously, the psionicists are experimenting with combining their mental power with stabilizing elements, exploring a new technique for enhancing the mental shield, making it even more indestructible against mental attacks from evil forces.
As the shield upgrade was nearing completion, the Alliance's confidence soared. The Star Council decided to abandon passive defense and instead take the initiative to find the source of the evil forces and strike a heavy blow before they could launch their next large-scale attack. Thus, the Alliance assembled its most elite fleet, equipped with the most advanced weapons and gear, and embarked on this perilous journey.
The fleet traversed the starry sea, carefully avoiding the various traps and obstacles set by the evil forces thanks to the powerful protection of their star energy shields and advanced detection technology, gradually approaching their core area. Along the way, they encountered numerous patrol fleets and scattered attacks from the evil forces, but they easily repelled them all thanks to their superior tactical skills and formidable combat power.
However, as the fleet approached the core of the evil force, they felt an unprecedented and immense pressure. The surrounding stellar energy became extremely chaotic, and space itself showed clear signs of distortion, as if they were approaching a cosmic black hole. The fleet commander immediately ordered all personnel to go on high alert, preparing to meet the severe challenge that was about to unfold.
Just then, a massive, malevolent flagship suddenly appeared from the darkness ahead. This flagship was several times the size of the Alliance warships, emanating a dense, malevolent aura. Its surface was covered with various strange energy devices and weapon launchers, clearly indicating it was the core command ship of the evil force. Upon its appearance, the flagship unleashed a powerful beam of black energy at the Alliance fleet. This beam far surpassed any attack they had encountered before, piercing through the shields of several warships and causing severe damage.
The Alliance fleet was not intimidated by the sudden attack. They quickly adjusted their formation and concentrated their firepower to launch a counterattack against the evil flagship. Star Guardians, piloting mechs, charged towards the flagship like ghosts, attempting to find weaknesses in its defenses for close-quarters combat. The warships, on the other hand, unleashed their full firepower from the rear, beams of star energy and missiles hurtling towards the flagship, blooming into dazzling energy flowers on its surface.
In the fierce battle, the Alliance fleet gradually discovered some weaknesses and attack patterns of the evil flagship. Utilizing seamless teamwork and flexible tactics, they relentlessly attacked and harassed the evil flagship, gradually weakening its defensive and offensive capabilities. However, the evil flagship's counterattacks were equally fierce, and the two sides were locked in a brutal stalemate. The outcome of this battle would directly determine the future of the Alliance. Every member was acutely aware of the heavy responsibility they bore, and they did not flinch. In this dangerous cosmic expanse, for the peace and tranquility of the universe, they waged a desperate struggle against the evil forces.
