Chapter 308 Mysterious Signals and Deep Crisis
Upon receiving the mysterious signal, Lin Yu and Ellie exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with doubt and wariness. "Let's try to analyze the signal and see if we can find its source," Lin Yu quickly ordered, and the research team immediately began their intensive work.
As the analysis progressed, parts of the signal gradually became clearer: a warning written in an ancient language: "The secrets of the forbidden land are untouchable. Those who attempt to plunder the 'Power of the Star Core' will bring about cosmic catastrophe." Ellie frowned, carefully studying the encrypted information in the signal, trying to uncover more clues.
“Although this language is ancient, it has similarities to those we’ve found in ancient ruins before, so it might be related to an ancient civilization,” Ellie said while operating the equipment.
Just as everyone was focused on analyzing the signal, the representative of the Azel civilization suddenly rushed in, looking flustered: "Something's wrong! We've detected abnormal fluctuations in the energy at the energy harvesting station. It seems an unknown force is forcibly drawing on the remaining energy!"
Lin Yu was alarmed. He realized that the mysterious force might have taken advantage of the lull in their battle with the mechanical creatures to attack the energy harvesting station again. If the mysterious force were to obtain enough energy, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"We must stop them immediately!" Lin Yu decisively ordered, and the fleet quickly adjusted its course, speeding towards the energy harvesting station.
When the fleet arrived at the energy harvesting station, the sight before them astonished them. A massive black energy vortex surrounded the station, constantly emitting beams of energy that drained its energy. At the center of the vortex, a gigantic figure could be vaguely seen controlling everything.
"Is that the source of the mysterious power?" a crew member asked in surprise.
Lin Yu narrowed his eyes, carefully observing the energy vortex and the figure: "Whatever it is, we must not let it succeed."
The fleet swiftly went into battle mode, firing energy beams at the energy vortex. However, the beams were swallowed up by a powerful force as soon as they approached the vortex. Ellie analyzed the energy vortex using her detection equipment and discovered that its structure was completely different from any she had encountered before; it appeared to be a massive energy-devouring device capable of absorbing any form of energy attack.
“Conventional attacks are ineffective; we must think of another way,” Ellie said anxiously.
After a moment of thought, Lin Yu suddenly remembered the clues about "Star Core Power" that he had obtained in the Forbidden Land. It mentioned that "Star Core Power" has unique energy properties and might be able to be used to fight against this energy vortex.
“We can try to use the information obtained from the relic fragments to construct an interference wave with a frequency similar to the ‘Star Core Power’ energy, and see if we can disrupt this energy vortex,” Lin Yu said, sharing his idea.
The research team immediately sprang into action, and after intensive calculations and adjustments, "Starshine" emitted a special energy interference wave. Upon entering the energy vortex, the interference wave triggered a strong fluctuation, significantly slowing the vortex's rotation speed.
"It's working! Increase the power of the interference wave!" Lin Yu shouted excitedly.
Just as the fleet increased the power of the jamming waves, the figure at the center of the energy vortex seemed to sense the threat. It let out a low roar, and the energy vortex suddenly changed, becoming even more violent, and the surrounding space began to distort.
"Oh no, it's resisting!" Ellie stared nervously at the screen.
Under the fierce counterattack of the energy vortex, the fleet's warships suffered severe impacts, and their shields teetered on the brink of collapse. But Lin Yu and his crew did not back down; they gritted their teeth and continued to increase the transmission power of the interference waves.
During the intense confrontation, Ellie noticed a brief pause in the energy fluctuations of the energy vortex, and she realized this was a golden opportunity.
"Lin Yu, take this opportunity to concentrate all your firepower on the center of the energy vortex!" Ellie shouted.
Lin Yu immediately commanded the fleet to concentrate the firepower of all warships under the cover of the interference wave and launch the strongest attack towards the center of the energy vortex.
With a flash of dazzling light, the energy vortex finally cracked and then quickly dissipated. The enormous figure was revealed to everyone; it was a gigantic creature composed of dark energy, its body radiating an eerie light and exuding an oppressive aura.
The mysterious creature appeared to be severely injured. It glared fiercely at the fleet before transforming into a black shadow and disappearing into the depths of space.
Although they had temporarily repelled the mysterious creature, Lin Yu and Ellie knew this was only a temporary victory. The creature would surely return, and the closer they got to the "Star Core Power," the greater the danger would become.
Back at the fleet, Lin Yu and the representatives of the Aizer civilization discussed their next steps again. They decided that before the mysterious creatures attacked again, they should find the special crystal that could unlock the sealed chamber of "Star Core Power" as soon as possible, enter the chamber, and completely unravel the secrets of "Star Core Power." Perhaps only in this way could they completely stop the conspiracy of the mysterious force.
However, the ancient ruins where the special crystals are located are far away in another star system. What unknown dangers will the fleet encounter on its way there? Will mysterious creatures ambush them along the way? All of this is like a thick fog, shrouding everyone's minds.
