Chapter 142 The Fall of Pufferfish

Let's rewind to a dozen minutes earlier.

Lu Qingfeng stood on the now unrecognizable synchronous orbit of the circumpolar planet, with a writhing purple planet beneath his feet and a void fleet several times larger around him!

Such a massive army, such unparalleled power, made his originally somewhat composed mindset begin to soar. This was the feeling of having the whole world under his feet!

However, according to the normal plot, someone who has become this arrogant should be in trouble, but of course, this is not normal.

However, fate is unchangeable, and the unparalleled planetary warships finally arrived!

"My Lord! A supersonic subspace fluctuation has been detected, with coordinates pointing to the outer edge of this galaxy."

"Character recognition in progress — Warlord-class flagship, planetary warship [Lion's Pride], expected to complete jump and arrive on the battlefield in fifteen minutes."

"They've finally arrived, a little faster than expected, but—the gifts we prepared are quite generous."

"Perfect timing!" Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but look forward to the upcoming battle, which was likely to be evenly matched.

"All units, cease all outward expansion and immediately retreat towards the orbit of the circumpolar planet. Using the planet as a base, construct a multi-layered defensive array. Don't tell me you can't—well, you really can't? Oh well, just make it look like one! Prepare to face the Empire's hammer!"

"Furthermore, execute the Deep Dive Protocol, implanting three Void Mage seeds deep into the cores of the Meteor, Heragron, and Elwynn, setting them to deep hibernation. Awaken? Why bother with all these complicated mechanisms? I can handle it!"

As orders, though seemingly disorganized, were issued at each level, but with absolute obedience required, the massive void fleet, like a swarm of bees returning to their nest, deployed layer upon layer of defenses around the purplish-black planet.

On the planet's surface, countless nest mothers and turrets raised their heads, and fifteen minutes later, the star's light was obscured.

The majestic ship, comparable to the original Blue Star, accompanied by dozens of elite escort ships (which are essentially the same as not having them), appeared on the outer orbit of the circumpolar planet like a behemoth rising from the abyss.

A golden psionic shield, like a divine halo, enveloped it, contrasting sharply with the purplish-black void pollution below.

Without communication or announcement, the Empire's orders have always prioritized efficiency! As for warp demons? They are the highest-level extermination order!

The moment the jump was completed and the target was calibrated, the tens of thousands of turret arrays on the surface of the [Lion's Pride] simultaneously lit up with the glow of charging.

The countdown to destruction ended in the last second, and then the universe was torn open once again.

This is an annihilation zone formed after space itself was forcibly cut off.

Wherever it passed, whether it was the debris of a circumpolar meteor or the unfortunate locusts and small starships that were in its path, they were completely erased from existence the moment they touched that pale edge, leaving not a ripple.

Lu Qingfeng's pupils suddenly contracted. "Damn it, how could this empire be so wicked? They just unleashed a powerful attack right from the start!"

It seems like they've gone too far!

"set!"

Before there was time to say more, a will was instantly transmitted throughout the entire defense system via the void network.

Along the orbit of the circumpolar star, tens of thousands of void units simultaneously ceased their previous actions.

The purplish-black light on their bodies dimmed rapidly, and all life and energy were instantly extracted, transforming into slender yet powerful streams of dark purple energy, like billions of birds returning to their nests, surging madly toward the single core on the orbit.

[Lord's Recruitment] Power has been driven to an unprecedented limit.

On the entire planet, all units corrupted and transformed by the void become fuel that can be mobilized.

This is exploitation, and also sacrifice, gambling for an impossible outcome!

This was a last resort! Although Lu Qingfeng had virtually unlimited access to void energy, however—

His own maximum effort limited the release of this energy!

Furthermore, the manipulation of void energy wasn't simply about opening a single opening to let it surge out; rather, it was guided and focused by Lu Qingfeng's spirit. Therefore, the result was obvious: faced with such an urgent situation—

Simultaneous mobilization is not possible; we can only extract the existing energy!

Combined with the mobilized energy, Lu Qingfeng's figure expanded wildly in the starry sky.

Dark silver active bone armor burst forth from beneath the skin, proliferating and thickening until it covered the entire body in an instant. The energy that spilled over to the back transformed into a swirling dark purple cloak, upon which flowed the phantom of star destruction.

His size broke through ten meters, twenty meters—finally transforming in the void into a giant phantom nearly a hundred meters tall, interwoven with dark silver and purplish-black. It was a battle stance forcibly formed by the energy of countless void units, and it was also the final head of Lu Qingfeng's life burning at this moment.

Yes, Lu Qingfeng even sacrificed himself, since he was going to die anyway!

The giant phantom stood on the purple fungal carpet of the meteorite, and a massive amount of void energy gathered in its palm, eventually condensing into a shifting field with a diameter of over fifty kilometers.

Rotating void runes, wailing soul silhouettes, and absolute darkness that devours light are all its components, but they are far from being a comprehensive description.

"Buzz!"

At the same time, Lu Qingfeng invoked the void channel, which further disrupted Lu Qingfeng's mental state, though necessary sacrifices were made.

The planet's remaining life force and even its magnetic field were forcibly extracted and used to construct an invisible entity through the [Void Proxy] authority.

The channel frantically injected force into the force field before him.

The force field suddenly intensified, solidifying like a real celestial barrier.

The pillar of light of [Final Judgment] has arrived.

There was no sound, because even the medium through which sound travels is annihilated the moment it comes into contact.

There is only the struggle between pure light and darkness.

The dark purple giant shield collided violently with the pure white torrent of annihilation!

The point of impact erupted with a light more dazzling than a star, and a spherical wave of destruction, mixed with broken runes and spatial fragments, spread wildly in all directions, silently turning several nearby Imperial frigates that had not been able to completely evacuate into elementary particles.

The shifting position trembled violently, and countless runes were destroyed, shattered, and instantly reshaped by the energy surging from behind.

Lu Qingfeng's giant phantom was violently thrown backward by the impact, and the planet's crust, which was the battlefield between the two sides, groaned in unbearable pain.

"It seems, it appears, perhaps, it's about time we couldn't hold on any longer?" Lu Qingfeng estimated that the current gap between the two sides seemed to be closing in.

No! Are you kidding me?!

Lu Qingfeng burned his divine power once more, to the point that his very structure began to disintegrate, with fragments of flesh and blood falling down and being transformed.

As energy, it surges into the force field shield.

However, even though he gave it his all, the output of [Final Judgment] did not decrease in the slightest, just like [Lion's Roar].

It possesses unlimited energy.

The energy provided by the circumpolar planets, as well as the power that Lu Qingfeng extracted from his void units through [Lord's Summoning], is being rapidly depleted.
