However, that beam of light seemed to be a holy light that dispelled the darkness, sweeping away all the electronic squids. In front of the beam of light, no object could remain intact.
Under the influence of the strong light, even the dark clouds in the sky were forcibly torn apart, and the earth collapsed. Within the straight line distance of the white light, all matter was reduced to ashes.
After a long time, the light gradually disappeared, leaving only a trace of light path distorted by the air.
Kang's army lost hundreds of thousands of electronic squids along the path of light, which was a heavy loss!
With the help of the Rainbow Bridge, Umbrella cleared a path. After the Rainbow Bridge disappeared, the Astartes immediately filled the space and slaughtered the electronic squids before they could react!
Dane sat behind the army and arranged for others to move the quantum shuttle to the other side of the passage, ready to strike the enemy in the face again.
He had previously been studying how to extend the power of the Rainbow Bridge to this world, and this attack was the result of his research.
Since quantum shuttles can allow matter to pass through, it is naturally possible to allow energy to pass through, but there will be losses in the process.
All Dane can do is try to minimize the loss.
Fortunately, even with its power slightly reduced, the Rainbow Bridge can still provide a dimensionality reduction blow to opponents like the electronic squid.
He did not choose to use the matter decomposer to fight the enemy. Although that thing can decompose matter, it is not like the mother box, which can decompose all components of matter into elementary particles.
The material decomposer can only decompose one material at a time. For example, it can only decompose the carbon atoms in wood, but it has no effect on substances such as water and carbon dioxide.
Another example is adamantium alloy. The matter decomposer can only decompose the power armor on the Astartes, but the warriors are still safe. The human body and the alloy are two completely different substances.
The biggest feature of the material decomposer is its precision and specificity. It is not a weapon, but an experimental tool used to analyze the structure of matter.
Even if he wanted to weaponize it, Dane would still have to deal with the problem of energy reduction.
Matter decomposers usually act on matter in the form of light. This is because photons are the smallest particles currently known to humans and can penetrate into the microscopic structure of any matter.
The greater the distance, the more easily the energy of light will be dissipated by the atmosphere along the light path.
Instead of trying to find ways to enhance the light energy of the matter decomposer, it is better to use the Rainbow Bridge directly. With the Space Stone, Umbrella does not have to worry about energy reduction at all.
Moreover, when destroying the electronic squid, there is no need to consider collecting spoils. These mass products are not worth entering the laboratory, and the most valuable things have been brought back by Astartes.
This time, Dane's target is the Time Orb. As long as he gets it, the purpose of entering the quantum realm this time will be basically achieved.
That's why Dane didn't hold back when attacking, but was very aggressive instead. When Kang saw this through the electronic squid's eyes, he felt a sense of insanity.
No, who the hell is the conqueror?
But he also knew that the enemy's weapons were powerful and he must not let them attack again at close range, so he commanded countless electronic squids to swarm towards Astartes.
Although Dane's cannonballs wiped out hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers, Kang's army still had more than two million electronic squids and more than one million mechanical servants, and still had the advantage.
In order to prevent Dane from bringing the quantum shuttle into this world, Kang ordered his mechanical servants to take action and drive their warships to engage in a fierce battle with the Astartes Legion's warships.
Relying on the greater numerical advantage, they were able to curb the Astartes' offensive for a while.
Facing the enemy's explosive troop movement, Dane sneered.
Although he can't rely on the foundry to produce unlimited troops like Kang, he can still increase his numerical advantage...
He activated the quantum shuttle again, but this time it was not the Rainbow Bridge that came, but the space force led by Atlas.
Although Atlas's individual strength is not as good as Astartes, he is also a super soldier who has undergone two human body enhancements, which is more than enough to deal with mechanical servants and electronic squids.
What's more, they don't need to fight the enemy at close range like the Astartes.
Relying on the space fleet, Atlas used positron cannons to slaughter the electronic squids. Under the coordination of Cortana, they divided millions of enemy troops into dozens of war zones, each of which was managed by an Atlas regiment, greatly alleviating the pressure on the Astartes' front line.
With the support of many soldiers, Umbrella gradually regained control of the world channel, pushed the quantum shuttle to the front line, and finally entered the battlefield.
Kang, on the other hand, desperately pressured the foundries in his own main world to produce more mechanical soldiers to cope with the pressure from the front lines, but even if they were running at full power, they still could not keep up with the speed of consumption on the front battlefield.
Compared to the Umbrella, which had amazing defense, Kang's Legion, despite having an absolute advantage in numbers, was mediocre in both offense and defense, and was overwhelmingly defeated.
Fortunately, he had specially designed the electronic squid as a type of soldier. Its super high flexibility still caused some trouble to the enemy. If he had relied solely on mechanical servants, he would have been pushed back to his home position by the enemy by now.
But he was still a little annoyed. If he had known this would happen, he should have made more electronic squids and stored them in advance so that he wouldn't be so short of money when fighting against consumption.
Who could have imagined that an army of millions could be crushed by a mere tens of thousands of enemy troops? Even the experienced Kang was astonished by the enemy's combat effectiveness.
He could only command the battle on the front line while stepping up the work of cracking the adamantium alloy.
But such distraction only accelerated the retreat of Kang's army.
He completely misunderstood the strategic goal. When Dane successfully brought the quantum shuttle into the battlefield world, the power of the Rainbow Bridge once again dominated the entire war.
This time, after being fully charged, the Rainbow Bridge's firepower coverage is wider than the previous attack. It starts from the nearest war zone and gradually clears the enemy forces in the war zone.
When the white light passes, everything is annihilated!
Chapter 1000-Light
With precise strikes, the electronic squids were gradually eliminated.
Since electronic squids mostly move in groups, whether attacking or defending, they are particularly easy to eliminate.
Whenever the enemy forces in a war zone are cleared, the Atlas in that area will quickly gather and move forward to intercept the new electronic squids that continue to emerge from the industrial world.
The Rainbow Bridge was so efficient in destroying the enemy that Kang's factory was unable to produce enough electronic squids to fill the gap, so the battlefield situation quickly developed in a direction that was unfavorable to him.
An hour later, the Astartes Legion and the Atlas had pushed their front line very close to the entrance to the last world.
Kang's army seemed to have sensed the crisis as well. They immediately adjusted their strategy and sent more troops to harass the quantum shuttle in an attempt to destroy it.
The huge size of the quantum shuttle makes it an easy target for attack, and dodging is impossible. In order to meet the deadline, even the shield is not fully covered, so there are still loopholes to exploit.
But at the same time, it is difficult for the tiny electronic squid to cause real damage to the shuttle. The huge size of the quantum shuttle not only makes it a target of public attack, but also gives it an extremely strong defense. If it only breaks the skin, it will not hurt at all.
Not to mention, there is an enemy guarding there that is more terrifying than the Astartes Legion.
Dane handed the task of operating the quantum shuttle to his subordinates, and went to the terrace outside. In an instant, mental power surged out, freezing all the electronic squids approaching the quantum shuttle in mid-air.
Kang's consciousness is hidden in countless machines, but he cannot use his mental power to interfere with reality as directly as Dane.
Unlike Dane, Kang can only do this with the help of his high-tech suit.
In terms of the interference of mental power on reality, Conqueror Kang is obviously not as good as Dane. His mental power is great but useless, and is more dependent on technological amplification. This is an essential difference from Dane.
But he is definitely not someone who gives up easily. Since he can't win in quality, then he will compete in quantity!
Even if the force was too great, he believed it would be effective as long as the amount was large enough.
Then more electronic squids rushed forward one after another, turning into a torrent that crashed into Dane's position, just like thousands of swords returning to their origin. Before long, Dane's vision was blocked by the dense swarm of electronic squids.
Thousands of electronic squids were suppressed and blocked by the invisible force field, forming a giant steel shield, or like a giant umbrella, which was firmly fixed in the sky directly in front of Dane. The electronic squids in the front were squeezed by the reinforcements from the rear, and were squeezed from the front and back into a discus.
However, even so, the distance between the army of electronic squids and Dane remained unchanged. From this point of view, Kang's strategy of winning by quantity seemed to have failed.
But Dane noticed that an electronic squid bypassed the giant shield in front of him and took a detour to attack the control room behind him.
Dane was just about to free up his hands to deal with them, but he saw that the electronic squids that had been gathered in a group suddenly dispersed and broke up into small groups. This would prevent the entire army from being targeted by Dane, making him distracted.
This move did cause Dane some trouble. His use of mental power seemed to be the same as Kang's, but they were actually going in two different directions.
Kang's mental power was huge but scattered, so he divided this power so that it could be evenly distributed on all the mechanical soldiers.
Dane didn't know how the other party did it. To achieve this, Kang probably needed to divide his mind into millions of parts, which is equivalent to super schizophrenia. Even large groups of mutants are not so exaggerated!
Dane's mental power is pure, huge yet condensed, so that it can trigger a qualitative change and enable him to directly interfere with reality without the assistance of any equipment.
Once one's attention is distracted like Kang, his ability to interfere with reality will be weakened. In the most serious cases, he will even lose his direct physical interference power and become like Kang.
It seems that the previous test did let the other party see something, and Kang's attack this time was very targeted.
Dane thought for a moment, took a ring from his wrist, and threw it out.
Compared with the past, the ten rings that have been soaked in quantum energy have become faster, and now flying is like teleportation.
There was no shadow of the ring in the sky, only countless explosions could be heard, and one electronic squid after another was pierced by the bracelet, causing explosions.
The time intervals between their explosions were so short that they appeared to have been detonated simultaneously.
Even Kang, whose consciousness was attached to the electronic squid, could not see clearly what was attacking him.
He was stunned for a moment, then quickly integrated all the visual information sent back by the electronic squid, and then observed it frame by frame. Finally, in one of the frames, he saw the blurry figure of the Ten Rings.
"This thing...why does it feel a little familiar..."
In the many parallel universes that Kang has conquered, he has fought against countless superheroes, and Shang-Chi is obviously one of them.
According to the original historical trajectory, Shang-Chi should have defeated his father Wen-wu and inherited the Ten Rings.
Since Kang the Conqueror has fought with Shang-Chi, he naturally has some impression of the Ten Rings.
But in his memory, the Ten Rings did not seem to show the terrifying speed of the ring in Dane's hand, and the image was so blurry that he could not recognize it for a moment.
In just a few minutes, thousands of electronic squids were destroyed by the impact of the rings.
Dane gathered all the downed electronic squids and reshaped them with a force field, forming steel fortifications to protect the control room of the 430 shuttle.
At this time, the Astartes Legion had pushed the front line very close to the entrance of the industrial world.
Kang's army has gone on the defensive, trying at all costs to stop the enemy from invading their main world, and they have succeeded in doing so.
The entrance to the industrial world is much smaller than that of the previous world, and can only accommodate a few warships. As long as Kang's Legion guards this entrance, they can block this only entrance and exit like the three hundred Spartan warriors guarding the Thermopylae.
Dane had only one solution for this, and that was to blast open the city gate with cannons!
As a beam of white light flashed across, the entrance to the industrial world also opened its doors to Umbrella.
The nearby Astartes garrison was the first to step in, but when they entered the enemy's main world, they saw a black pyramid shaped like a mountain in the distance, and a dazzling sun suddenly rose on the top of the pyramid.
The sun shone a powerful light on the Astartes warriors. In an instant, their indestructible power armor collapsed and turned into a layer of sand that drifted away with the wind.
An Astartes warrior in the lead roared, "This is a trap! Everyone retreat immediately!"
Without the protection of adamantium armor, their flesh and blood bodies cannot withstand the laser weapons of the electronic squid.
The next moment, countless rays of light descended from the sky and landed on Astarte!
Chapter 1001 Retreat and Attack
This wave of offensive caused Umbrella to lose more than a dozen Astartes immediately, which was more than the number that Kang had painstakingly killed last time. For the Astartes Legion, the death of any brother was an unbearable loss.
Not everyone can undergo the transformation surgery of an Astartes warrior, so it is quite difficult to replenish the manpower.
Seeing his subordinates suffer heavy losses, the centurion of the Astartes immediately became furious.
"All soldiers retreat immediately! Request support from friendly forces immediately!"
The so-called friendly forces refer to the Atlas Corps.
Although the Atlas are far inferior to the Astartes warriors in terms of individual strength, they are better at fighting in large armies, and are very good at hitting targets from a distance and providing fire cover for friendly forces.
Soon, a regiment-level Atlas Corps broke into the enemy's main world. To their surprise, the power armor on the Atlas was not affected by the enemy's light weapons and remained intact.
Although Umbrella has cracked the manufacturing process of adamantium alloy, it does not mean that they can abuse this special material without any worries and equip Atlas with it.
For today's Earth and even most star-level civilizations, the Atlas equipped with superalloy power armor is already powerful enough. Their technological level is already a bit excessive compared to most of their current opponents, so there is really no need to equip the entire army with adamantium.
This was originally a strategy based on cost considerations, but now it has saved the Astartes from defeat. Kang only prepared decomposition rays for the adamantium alloy and had no time to target the new Atlas troops.
Of course, the Atlas Corps' power armor is not indestructible. The durability of the metal is limited. Facing the laser attack of the electronic squid, it will still be broken after a long time.
Even so, the Atlas Corps has an advantage when facing the electronic squids because their output is stronger and no electronic squid can withstand their second shot.
When facing swarms of electronic squids, they will use ion cannons. Although the firing rate of this cannon is not high, its lethality is extremely considerable. When the enemies are swarming in, there is no need to aim at all. Even if the enemies want to disperse, the speed of the ion cannon is enough to kill dozens of electronic squids before they disperse.
This offensive efficiency is not low.
There is also an electromagnetic cannon. The electronic squid's deflection shield cannot defend against such ultra-high-speed bullets. As a supplement to the insufficient firing rate of the ion cannon, it can effectively deal with the remaining fleeing electronic squids.
Under the suppression of Atlas' firepower, the Astartes quickly retreated to the other side of the world channel and brought the enemy's weapons intelligence to Dane.
Dane was thoughtful after listening to this.
"Sure enough, is it something like a matter decomposition device?"
No matter how strong the Astartes are, after the adamantium armor on their bodies is stripped away, they are still flesh and blood underneath.
A flesh and blood body cannot withstand the enemy's laser gun, so the defeat is not surprising.
No wonder Kang had boasted before that he would bring the Astartes Legion to a devastating disaster. If Atlas had not been present, the Astartes Legion's losses would not have been limited. If Dane had not taken action, the situation might have turned into a major rout.
But now it’s different. Since the enemy has revealed their cards, it means that they are almost at the end of their rope.
Umbrella can also make strategic adjustments as a result.
From the fact that Atlas is still relatively safe, it can be seen that Kang should have only prepared decomposition rays for adamantium alloy. He does not know much about Atlas, and this information gap is enough for them to have a chance to defeat Kang's army.
