Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 608 Loop
"Alright, stop rushing in recklessly." Zhang Jie frowned. "The enemy's next reinforcements won't arrive for some time, and the drone mechs have already dispersed. You don't need to keep rushing in."

As he marked the tactical system, several captains, including Logandao, led their squadrons to assemble in one direction... that location was where the communications ship for this area was located.

Watching the communications ship move, Zheng Zha muttered to himself, "Has it realized something's wrong?"

“You’re right. Judging from the shared mental images… this communications ship’s speed and direction of movement are already far different from the surrounding warships. It should be evading them,” Liu Xi said calmly.

Zhang Jie sneered: "Unfortunately, it's too late to avoid it now..."

“That’s how large-scale operations work…and the speed at which you broke through the enemy mechs was indeed quite fast,” Liu Xi said. “Let’s destroy this communications ship first. We should destroy such isolated and helpless targets using reasonable methods, which will make it easier to mobilize them later.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Having a powerful mental controller and a comprehensive coordination network... that was truly exhilarating. Even on the ground, Liu Xi could still participate in decision-making on the front lines, a tremendous advantage for any reincarnation team.

In Liu Xi's words, the Reincarnation Squad are all human beings, and as long as they are human, they will make mistakes, and these mistakes will come at a terrible price in the Reincarnation World... But even if Zhang Jie and Zhan Lan have no direct combat power, this complete mental network can provide great benefits to the Reincarnation Squad, at least in reducing the possibility of making mistakes in many aspects.

While the Central Continent team was exchanging information, the Earth's mechs had already pounced on the communications ship. The communications ship's evasive maneuvers altered its position relative to the surrounding warships; although it was no longer in the same tight defensive formation as before, it was also not so easy to penetrate their defenses.

This was achieved by sacrificing the warships in the surrounding area that were tasked with providing escort, in exchange for the completeness of the communications ship.

"Sure enough, this line of thinking is sound..." Zheng Zha chuckled. "Didn't you say that there were quite a few troops on these warships? You've already given them up. It's clear that communication ships are also quite crucial in the Celestials' formation."

Zhang Jie, however, showed no smile; instead, he sighed. He couldn't explain it clearly in a short time, otherwise he would have already reminded everyone that it was quite strange for a fleet with such advanced technology to still rely on such overly specific communication nodes.

The fleet in this area is actually in disarray... Abandoning all the escort ships was a choice made in a critical situation. Since the Earth side's mech offensive is too powerful, let the escort ships make the most of their remaining strength.

In any case, their survival cannot stop these mechs from penetrating.

“The rest of the formations are surrounding us in this direction…more Celestial Mechs are also being activated to support us.” Zhang Jie thought for a moment, “But it shouldn’t be a big problem.”

The next moment, brilliant flames burst forth in all directions. A group of drones from Earth emptied their ammunition at the surrounding warships that were carrying out suicide interception, and then overloaded their own energy cores, eliminating these warships before they could unleash their full power.

With unmanned mechs carrying out the same suicide interception, the mechs on Earth's side could advance even faster. Before the communications ship could switch to optical camouflage to escape, Zheng Zha's mech landed directly on it. "Handle it quickly! Only by weakening communications in this area can we retreat before they surround us!" Zhang Jie ordered. "This communications ship is doomed, so if we don't take it out quickly, we'll be the ones tied down."

Zheng Zha naturally understood this principle. He charged ahead because he wasn't afraid of the communications ship causing any trouble... but others might not have done so. He had just seen Luo Gandao rushing this way at an astonishing speed, which had startled him. He thought to himself, "This kid's gone crazy."

He had just landed his mech when he stomped directly on the cockpit floor. A tremendous force traveled through the fuselage and into the communications ship, shattering the last crew member who might have initiated the self-destruct sequence into pieces.

This would normally be an effortless action, but after seeing the mental image shared by Zhang Jie, Zheng Zha's expression turned somewhat grim.

"No, what the hell is this?"

This was the first time he had clearly observed the biological form of the celestial beings... to put it simply, there was no difference between their physical form and that of humans.

But anyone could see that this was definitely not human... or to put it more narrowly, definitely not an Earthling.

In Zhang Jie's scan, the physical outlines of the celestial beings and Earthlings are almost identical. However, if the scanned images are viewed in greater detail, it becomes clear that their skin color is completely different from that of Earthlings. This transparent, slightly eerie blue-green color is far less appealing than the little green men even in anime, let alone in a three-dimensional human body.

If their physical forms were even slightly different from those of Earthlings, they wouldn't give off such a bizarre feeling... Zheng Zha thought to himself, what is this called, the Happy Valley effect?
Judging from Zheng Zha's feedback after exerting his power, the internal structure of the Celestials differs significantly from that of Earthlings. They seem to have borrowed the physical framework of Earthlings, but retained some unique characteristics... at least the feeling of power transmission is completely different.

Sure enough, Zhang Jie's mental scan revealed tissues inside and outside the Celestials' bones that differed from those of humans. This substance resembled a viscous liquid, yet it was distinct from the Celestials' flesh and blood, flowing slowly within their bodies. Upon closer inspection, two enormous nodes were visible along this flow path, constantly absorbing and releasing this viscous substance, forming a precise cycle.

"What is this?" Zheng Zha was still wondering to himself when Zhang Jie had already used his mental power to scan and record the celestial being's body structure. He had previously used his mental power to scan tens of thousands of celestial beings from afar, superimposing these appearances together, and now, using the closer celestial beings as corrections, he had derived a more average celestial being model.

After being pierced by Zheng Zha's immense force, the few celestial beings closest to the control panel did not completely shatter internally as Zheng Zha had imagined, but instead retained a basic form... Instead, their flesh and skin directly turned into fragments that flew everywhere, but in the instant they flew, they lost that blue-green color.

All that remained around the center console were a few upright skeletons, while the viscous liquid, having lost its circulation, writhed wildly like several thick worms.

But the moment they alerted the other celestial beings, these wriggling creatures, along with the skeletons that had transmitted Zheng Zha's power, shattered into dust all over the ground.
