Chapter 288 Defend the Palace!

Yunming, you and Sun Wukong guard the crystal core; Morgana, you lead the demon army to ambush in the asteroid belt; Pan Zhen, activate the stellar defense array on Lieyang Star.

"Why should I listen to you?"

Morgana suddenly stood up, the bone spikes protruding from under her skirt scraping the ground with a piercing sound. "My demon legion is not a pawn of your righteous order."

"I want half of the spoils from this operation."

Her scarlet eyes swept over the crowd, and a dangerous smile curled at the corners of her lips.

Just as Yun Ming was about to speak, Pan Zhen spoke first: "Queen Morgana, the sacred objects of Lieyang Star are not to be traded! But as long as we defeat the enemy, we can open up part of the star field for the demon race to collect dark matter."

His voice was deep and thunderous, and sparks sawped from the gaps in his armor.

"make a deal!"

Morgana snapped her fingers, and black energy condensed into contract runes in her palm. "But let's make this clear first, if any of you drag me down, I don't mind retreating early."

The talismanic light flowed into Pan Zhen's armor, leaving a dark red mark on its surface.

He Xi suddenly pressed down on the crystal, causing the entire hall to tremble violently, and the star murals on the dome twisted into vortexes: "Not good! The enemy has activated the spatial anchor point! They're trying to force their way through the defenses!"

Her hair moved without wind, and dense mechanical runes appeared behind her.

Yunming drew his longsword, its sword energy cleaving through the air with a dragon's roar: "Everyone, prepare! Keisha, you're in charge of aerial suppression; Hexi, crack their spatial technology; the rest of you, follow me and guard the palace!"

Before the words were finished, a metallic clang echoed from outside the hall, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the ground.

Sun Wukong leaped onto the roof of the palace, his golden cudgel growing thirty feet longer: "Well done! Taste my Heaven-Reaching Cudgel Technique!"

The shadows of the rods poured down like a torrential rain, blasting the first wave of mechanical beasts that broke through the protective shield into dust.

But more shadowy figures emerged from the crack, their eyes glowing with an eerie blue, their bodies covered with patterns similar to those of the shadowy figures.

"These are void creatures!"

Keisha's lightsaber sliced ​​through a mechanical beast, only to see the wound rapidly regenerate. "Ordinary attacks are ineffective; we must attack their core energy source!"

Her angel wings spread out to their fullest extent, and countless spears of light rained down from the sky, blasting deep craters into the ground.

Morgana suddenly appeared beside Yunming, her bone spikes piercing a mechanical insect that had ambushed her: "Hey, handsome young man, can your sword cut through the void?"

She licked the blood from the corner of her mouth, a playful glint in her eyes. "Can I borrow it?"

Yunming brandished his sword, its aura shoving away the surrounding enemies: "No time for nonsense! You're responsible for protecting Hexi! She's the key to breaking the spatial anchor!"

The sword shone brightly, instantly disintegrating any void creature it touched into a stream of data.

Pan Zhen's Blazing Sun Cannon roared across the sky, its orange-red energy beams tearing through layers of space, but more enemies emerged from the twisted rifts.

His armor was riddled with cracks, yet he still roared as he commanded his soldiers: "Activate the second protective shield! Buy Lord He Xi some time!"

Cold sweat beaded on He Xi's forehead as he traced runes in the air with his hands: "Found it! The spatial anchor is..."

Before she could finish speaking, a black beam of light suddenly descended from the sky, shattering the defensive barrier in front of her.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a figure draped in a black robe slowly emerged, his fingertips swirling with energy fluctuations originating from the same source as the Holy Energy Crystal.

"Hand over the crystal, and I'll spare your lives."

The voice of the man in black robes sounded like countless people speaking at once, with a sickening buzzing tone, "You think you've won by defeating the shadow? He's nothing more than a pawn I casually discarded."

Yun Ming pointed his sword at the man in black robes, his body surging with energy: "Who exactly are you? Why are you so obsessed with the Holy Energy Crystal!"

Ancient array patterns appeared beneath his feet, a mysterious power awakened after the last battle, which was now frantically absorbing the surrounding dark energy.

The man in black robes let out a piercing laugh. His robes billowed even without wind, revealing half of his face covered in mechanical patterns: "Who I am is not important. What is important is that you will all become sacrifices to usher in the Dark Age!"

He raised his hand and waved it, and all the void creatures suddenly formed a huge energy matrix, turning the sky into an eerie purple.

Keisha suddenly swooped down, her lightsaber pressed against the black-robed man's throat: "Don't even think about it! Yunming, attack the matrix core! Sun Wukong, shatter those spatial anchors!"

Cracks appeared on her sacred body, clearly indicating that she was under immense pressure.

"Leave it to me, Old Sun!"

Sun Wukong leaped into the air, his golden cudgel transforming into countless golden rays, shattering the shimmering anchor points in the sky one by one.

Each time one is destroyed, the void creatures on the ground become weaker.

Yunming took a deep breath, and the light on his sword solidified: "Break!"

A devastating sword strike cleaved through space, creating a massive gap in the energy matrix.

The man in black robes' expression changed drastically. He raised his hand to try and repair the damage, but Keisha entangled him and he was unable to break free.

Morgana suddenly attacked from behind, bone spikes piercing the black-robed man's back: "Trying to run? Not so easy!"

But the man in black robes suddenly turned around, his palm pressed against her chest, black energy surging into her: "Foolish demon, do you think this kind of attack will work on me?"

He Xi suddenly shouted, "Yun Ming! Attack his left hand! The core of the Void Engine is there!"

Her mechanical runes were finally completed, and a silver-blue beam of light shot towards the man in black robes.

Without hesitation, Yunming slashed at the black-robed man's left hand with a sword light as fast as lightning.

With a scream, the black-robed man's arm exploded into a stream of data, exposing the core of the Void Engine.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Sun Wukong slammed down with his staff, causing the core to explode and all the void creatures to vanish instantly.

The man in black robes staggered backward, his energy erratic: "Impossible... I clearly..."

His voice grew weaker and weaker until it finally turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated into the air.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but then Yunming's expression suddenly changed drastically: "Be careful! This is a feint! The real target is..."

Before he could finish speaking, a mournful cry came from the distant Holy Energy Crystal, and the entire Fiery Sun Star began to tremble violently.

Yunming frowned, paced back and forth in the room, and after thinking for a moment, said, "We cannot sit idly by and wait for our doom."

Since the enemy has new energy weapons, we need to find ways to counter them.

"Rose, do you know anything about these energy weapons?"

Rose shook her head slightly: "I have never come into contact with this new type of weapon before, but the principle of energy weapons is roughly the same. Perhaps we can find a breakthrough by looking at energy fluctuations and output frequency."

He Xi crossed his arms, his eyes gleaming with thoughtfulness: "Approaching it from an energy perspective is indeed feasible."

However, on the battlefield, the enemy will not give us much time to analyze the energy fluctuation patterns of their weapons.

"Yunming, can you use the Holy Energy Crystal to sense the energy changes in the enemy's weapons?"

Yunming closed his eyes and tried to mobilize the power of the Holy Energy Crystal. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and said with some helplessness, "I can only vaguely feel a powerful and unfamiliar energy, but it is too blurry to accurately judge its specific details."

Keisha pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, we can start with defense."

Yan, lead the angel warriors and deploy multiple layers of energy shields to weaken the enemy's weapons as much as possible.

Yan knelt on one knee, her eyes resolute: "Yes, Queen! I will make sure the angel warriors are well prepared for defense."

Morgana pursed her lips: "Defense alone won't work; we need to find a way to counterattack."

"Yunming, isn't your Holy Energy Crystal supposed to absorb energy? Could you directly absorb the energy emitted by enemy weapons during battle?"

Yunming's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again: "Theoretically it's feasible, but my control over the Holy Energy Crystal is still unstable. I'm afraid that absorbing such a powerful and unfamiliar energy rashly might lead to an accident."

"What are you afraid of!"

Morgana raised her voice, "How do we know it won't work if we don't try? The situation is critical, someone has to take the risk." Rose squeezed Yunming's hand and whispered, "Yunming, I believe in you."

"However, Morgana, even if Yunming wants to try, he needs our cooperation; we can't let him risk it all alone."

Keisha nodded: "Rose is right."

We can devise a tactic: the angel warriors will draw enemy fire, while Yunming seizes the opportunity to absorb energy, and Rose and the other warriors will protect Yunming.

He Xi added, "At the same time, we also need someone to interfere with the enemy's weapon firing."

"Zhixin, you're quite familiar with technological weapons, do you have any ideas?"

Zhi Xin stepped forward and said earnestly, "I can lead a group of technicians to develop a jamming device that can disrupt the energy output system of enemy weapons by emitting electromagnetic waves of a special frequency."

However, this will require some time to prepare.

Yunming looked at Keisha: "Queen Keisha, how long until the enemy arrives? Does Zhixin have enough time to develop the jamming device?"

Keisha frowned slightly: "The reconnaissance team did not send back the exact time, but judging from the speed of the enemy fleet's movement, there are at most three days left."

"Zhi Xin, can you complete the development of the jamming device in three days?"

Zhi Xin bit her lip and said firmly, "I will do my best! Even if I don't sleep or rest, I will finish it within three days."

Morgana scoffed, "Don't just talk the talk. If we can't finish this, we'll all be doomed."

Zhi Xin blushed and said, "I can definitely do it! Morgana, if you're so capable, come and help me!"

"I?"

Morgana raised an eyebrow. "I don't have time to mess with those broken machines. My job is to beat the enemy to a pulp on the battlefield."

Yunming interrupted their argument: "Alright, now is not the time to argue."

Everyone had a clear division of labor and acted accordingly.

Zhixin, please let us know if you need anything, and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Zhi Xin nodded: "Okay, I'll go prepare now."

After saying that, he hurriedly left the room.

Yan looked at Keisha: "Your Majesty, I'll go and arrange for the angel warriors to set up defensive shields first."

"Go."

Keisha waved.

After Yan turned and left, Yunming looked at Qiangwei and said, "Qiangwei, you should go and rest too. These next few days may be very tough."

Rose shook her head: "No, I'll go with you."

I'd like to speak with the technicians to see if we can optimize the critical interference device from different angles.

Yunming couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he nodded and said, "Alright then, but if you get tired, you must tell me."

At that moment, a soldier ran in: "Report! General Pan Zhen has sent word that the defense system of Lieyang Star has been reinforced and the reconnaissance fleet has set sail. However, during the reconnaissance, they encountered a small enemy patrol and a firefight ensued."

Keisha's expression was grave: "What is the situation regarding casualties?"

"Our side lost two reconnaissance ships and dozens of soldiers, but we also successfully destroyed three enemy patrol ships."

The soldier replied.

Yunming clenched his fist: "The enemy is indeed coming on strong."

Queen Keisha, we must speed up our preparations.

Keisha nodded: "Notify everyone to enter a state of high alert."

From this moment forward, every minute and every second is crucial.

The soldier accepted the order and left.

Morgana sneered: "It seems the enemy has begun to test our strength."

"Yunming, once their main force arrives, we'll show you what we're made of."

Yunming's eyes were firm: "That's right! No matter how powerful the enemy is, we must protect our homeland."

"Queen Keisha, I want to begin practicing using the Holy Energy Crystal to absorb energy now, so that I can master it before the enemy arrives."

Keisha thought for a moment: "Okay, but be careful."

"He Xi, you stay with Yun Ming and handle any situations promptly."

He Xi nodded: "Don't worry, Keisha."

"Yunming, let's go."

After Yunming and Hexi left, Qiangwei also headed towards the technicians' work area.

Keisha watched everyone bustling about and sighed softly, "I hope we can get through this."

Morgana walked over to Keisha and said, "Don't look so gloomy. I haven't even made a move yet, and the enemy thinks they can win? It won't be that easy."

Keisha glanced at Morgana: "I hope so."

Morgana, in this battle, I hope we can truly fight side by side.

Morgana shrugged: "Alright, enough with the mushy stuff."

I know what to do.

At the practice area, Yunming tried to activate the Holy Energy Crystal to absorb the surrounding energy.

At first, he could only absorb some weak energy fluctuations, but with continuous attempts, he gradually became able to absorb more powerful energy.

He Xi observed carefully from the side: "Yun Ming, pay attention to controlling the flow of energy. Don't let energy accumulate excessively in your body, otherwise there is a risk of your body exploding."

Yunming, covered in sweat, said with difficulty, "I...I'll try my best."

But this energy is too violent and difficult to control.

Just then, Yunming suddenly felt a powerful energy surge, and the power of the Holy Energy Crystal instantly became disordered.

His face changed drastically, his energy surged wildly within him, and he collapsed to his knees in agony.

He Xi hurriedly stepped forward, her hands emitting a soft light to help Yun Ming stabilize the energy within his body: "Yun Ming, concentrate! Don't be disturbed by this energy, guide it to flow in the direction you want."

Yunming gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, and tried his best to concentrate.

With He Xi's help, he finally managed to stabilize the chaotic energy.

"call……"

Yunming breathed a sigh of relief, "That was too dangerous."

It seems that mastering the power of the Holy Energy Crystal is no easy task.

He Xi said seriously, "Yes."

But the enemy won't give us much time.

You need to adapt quickly; in actual combat, no one will help you stabilize your energy.
