The story of the black silk female knight

Just as cults in the Valencia world are usually backed by nobles, cults in technological civilizations simply cannot function without capital.

Valensa didn't have a way to absorb the power of faith before, and Vie was busy leading people and other companies in war, so the matter of the cult was temporarily put on hold.

Now, Friggia has handcrafted an offering that can absorb the power of faith, just like the sticker, and Vi's war is coming to an end, so the cult plan should naturally be put on the agenda.

Chapter 36 The Female Knight is Unstoppable!

As a paladin, it's against the rules to start a cult in another world. He should be severely punished by his own goddess, or even hung up and whipped.

However, the belief in 'absolute science' is rather unique. Strictly speaking, it's not a cult, but rather a borderline behavior, similar to skillfully making suggestive remarks in legitimate literature on mainstream platforms.

The essence of 'absolute science' is the denial of mystery, but rather that religious belief itself is a form of mystery.

In other words, if those who believe in 'absolute science' realize that their blind worship of science is actually a form of faith, they will not be able to generate the power of 'absolute science' faith, because the act of faith itself violates the concept of 'absolute science'.

Only those who claim to have no religious beliefs but treat science with fanaticism can provide the power of faith for the concept of 'absolute science'.

Therefore, an organization that gathers faith in the concept of 'absolute science' must not exist in the form of a religion, but rather in the form of a 'science fanatics' club.

It is precisely because of this special circumstance that Valensa's actions are not considered a violation... In any case, she has not received any warnings so far, so she might as well test the waters a little more.

Valensa has a limited amount of time to spend in the cyberpunk world each month, and not a single minute can be wasted.

So after handing the offering to Wei, she obediently lay inside the missile, hugging the pillow, waiting to be launched into space.

Before being summoned, Valensa had already learned about the mission process.

What she is currently lying on is the most advanced ultra-long-range missile in this cyberpunk world, with a maximum range of over 5 kilometers. It takes about 1 minute and 20 seconds from preparation to launch, and nearly 18 minutes from launch to reaching the geostationary orbit.

Including the time the two of them spent talking, Valensa had less than 10 minutes to forcibly board the ship and destroy the space battleship.

If this spaceship were the kind of spaceship with an energy shield like those in science fiction movies from her previous life, Valensa wouldn't be very confident that she could accomplish it.

Fortunately, this space battleship is actually just an armed space station that can only move and attack in geosynchronous orbit, which makes the task much easier...

Bang!

As her thoughts raced, Valensa suddenly heard a muffled thud, followed by a jolt as she felt an immense G-force pressing down on her.

The missile was launched, and the acceleration was extremely high... If it were an ordinary person, this kind of G-force would definitely turn them into mincemeat.

Even though Valensa was a powerful expert at the Radiant Rank, she couldn't help but feel dizzy and a little short of breath at this moment.

She quickly used her mental power and holy light to strengthen herself, which restored her clarity. However, she still felt a tightness in her chest, which was somewhat uncomfortable, but it no longer affected her combat power.

To cover Valensa's boarding, Arasaka Corporation certainly wouldn't have launched just one missile, but rather nearly 50 missiles simultaneously from four missile launch sites for a concentrated attack.

Through the display screen inside the cabin, Valensa could clearly see the view outside, and even the overall status of all the missiles.

After approximately 16 minutes of flight, the missile's radar and ultra-high-definition camera had captured the target spacecraft and displayed it on the screen inside the cabin.

This is an aerospace warship the size of 10 aircraft carriers. If it were placed at sea, its displacement would be at least 150 million tons. As for its shape... it really doesn't look much different from the warships in science fiction movies.

If there is any difference, it is that on both sides of this space battleship, there are four large wings that are almost as long as its body and gleam with a dazzling light.

Those were four enormous solar energy absorption devices composed of countless solar panels, which were also the main energy source for the space battleship... This world is absolutely nuclear-free, so there is naturally no better energy source than solar energy for long-term operation in geosynchronous orbit.

The missile continued its flight toward the space battleship and soon entered the effective range of the enemy's close-in weapon system and interceptor missiles.

For warships that can fly in geosynchronous orbit, ultra-long-range missiles are arguably the only threat from the ground, so no amount of firepower to intercept them is excessive.

And that was indeed the case. The space battleship immediately went into combat mode... Almost every place on the ship where close-in weapon systems (CIWS) could be installed was filled with CIWS firing at full rate, and where there were no CIWS, there were honeycomb-like interceptor missile silos.

In less than 20 seconds, the space battleship single-handedly wove an incredibly beautiful web of firepower.

Even if more than 50 hypersonic missiles were launched from different directions, it would be difficult to break through such a dense network of fire. The vast majority of the missiles would fail to hit their targets and become large fireworks.

Valensa's missile was also not so lucky; it was hit by close-in weaponry as soon as it arrived.

However, Valencia jumped out of the cockpit onto another missile the instant it was hit, and continued to move before that missile was hit.

Of the more than 50 hypersonic missiles, some were unlucky enough to be hit right away, while others were lucky enough to survive to the end.

Valensa switched between the numerous missiles, and by the time the last missile in her field of vision was hit, she was less than 2000 meters away from the spaceship.

As someone who had murdered the enemy commander and seized confidential information from the enemy research institute, Valensa had naturally been noticed by the space battleship long ago.

She could clearly feel that almost all of the close-in weapon systems were focusing their fire on her at a rate of over 1 rounds per minute.

She lacked the mobility to force her way through this barrage of fire. Even if she could use her Holy Light Shield to defend against the shells, she would still be blasted back to Earth by the continuous barrage.

So after jumping off the last missile, Valensa did not choose to rush forward, but instead focused her attention on observation, instantly calculating a gap in the enemy's firepower network.

Actually, it can't really be called a loophole... because it was just a very narrow passage in the metal storm woven by the close-in weapon system, which even a cat would have a hard time passing through, let alone a person.

But what if it's just a sword flying at high speed?

Without any time to think carefully, Valensa made a judgment based entirely on her intuition and threw the Moon Kiss at the space battleship with almost all her might.

The immense power and the vacuum environment with no air resistance allowed the Moon Kiss to almost become a beam of light, successfully piercing through the metal storm's barrage of fire and reaching the other side, where it precisely struck the launch unit of an interceptor missile silo.

Valenza, who had been hit by numerous cannonballs and thrown hundreds of meters backward by the Holy Light Shield, vanished in a flash of moonlight.

The cramped interceptor missile launch unit was obviously too small to fit Valenza's body and was directly burst open.

Following the automatic reloading path of the interceptor missile, Valensa successfully entered the space battleship and casually killed two reloading soldiers who panicked and fired at her.

Such aerospace warships naturally have very advanced internal monitoring systems. Valensa had barely found the passageway inside the warship when the alarms went off throughout the entire vessel.

The ship's defense system was activated immediately. One after another, alloy doors more than half a meter thick fell down, and automatic turrets rose up to fire at Valensa. Countless footsteps approached... These were elite Dr. Cyborg soldiers with over 60% of their bodies modified, and mechanical dogs that were particularly skilled at fighting humans.

Whether it's automated turrets, Cyborg soldiers, or mechanical dogs, none of them pose a real threat to Valensa.

Given enough time, she could wipe out the entire space battleship, but the biggest problem is that she doesn't have that much time.

She must locate the spaceship's energy center or ammunition depot as soon as possible and inflict fatal damage on the entire ship by destroying these core components.

This aerospace battleship is a top-secret weapon of Arasaka Corporation's rival company. Arasaka Corporation had not received any prior intelligence and knew nothing about the layout of the battleship, so Valensa had to find her own way.

If this spaceship were nuclear-powered or otherwise powered, Valensa might not be able to find a target for a direct assault for a while.

Unfortunately, the main energy source for this spaceship is solar power, and Valensa is a paladin favored by the sun goddess.

She could clearly sense where the enormous solar energy absorbed by the four 'wings' of the spaceship was gathered on the ship... that must be the ship's energy center.

Rush!

There was no time to find a detour. Based on the principle that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, Valensa launched an attack on the direction of the energy center, destroying everything in her path.

The crimson lightsaber can easily slice through any alloy wall, while the six-flower floating cannons fly up and down to snipe any automated turrets, Cyborg soldiers, and mechanical dogs that try to stop Valensa's advance.

The biggest difference between technological civilizations and mysterious civilizations is that while the soldiers here are fragile, the weapons they wield are extremely powerful.

In terms of output capability alone, these elite Cyborg soldiers, equipped with the most advanced individual weapons in the world, are in no way inferior to the lighthouse-level cultivators of the Valensa world.

The elite Cypher soldiers, numbering in the triple digits, focused their fire on Valensa. Even with her indestructible shield, her artifact cloak granting immunity to high-temperature damage, and the Six Flower Floating Cannons constantly killing enemies, Valensa was gradually slowed down.

Valenza's charge was too clear in its purpose; the enemy commander must have realized it, and therefore must have given orders for his soldiers to stop her at all costs.

For them, this spaceship is their last hope for a comeback... If this spaceship is also destroyed, they will completely lose this corporate war.

It doesn't matter to ordinary employees; it's just a change of boss.

However, the Cybertronian soldiers who can board the space battleships are all loyal members of this company, and they will inevitably be eliminated after the war is lost.

Since defeat and surrender both lead to death, it's better to fight to the death.

And so the Paladin once again experienced what it was like to be a villain... The Cyborg soldiers who resisted her were extremely brave.

Knowing that she was completely outmatched, she fought to the death and refused to retreat. Even when she was killed and brought to her front, she continued to fire. If all else failed, she would detonate all the remaining ammunition in her combat prosthetic body, using herself as a weapon to stop Valenza's advance.

There was even a Cyborg soldier whose body had been dismembered by a lightsaber, but he still used his last strength to roll his head to Valensa's feet and bite her boot hard with his teeth.

In the end, even many people dressed as warship commanders and logistics personnel joined the battle with weapons, doing everything they could to stop Valensa from advancing toward the energy center.

This desperate attempt to stop her was effective. Valensa wasn't strong enough to completely ignore the most advanced individual weapons of the cyberpunk civilization, and her charge speed was severely slowed down.

At the current rate, she may not even get close enough to the energy center to be within her effective attack range before she automatically returns to her own world.

We must wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop.

Valensa made this judgment quickly and began to think rapidly about what to do.

The interior of the space battleship is a completely three-dimensional structure, and the enemies firing various weapons at Valensa come from all directions... including directly below her, where three automatic turrets are firing wildly at her skirt at a 90-degree angle.

In this situation, to annihilate a large number of enemies in one go, you must use an area-of-effect attack that covers the entire sphere centered on yourself.

Valensa first thought of two moves that could achieve this.

The first thing to do is naturally to expand the domain and devour everything around it.

This was the simplest and most direct method, but Valensa hesitated for less than three seconds before temporarily abandoning it.

She wanted to save the domain for destroying the spaceship's energy center, but deploying the domain now wouldn't cover the energy center. Once deployed, the domain couldn't be moved, and deploying it again in a short time would be a huge burden. She wasn't sure she could complete it before the time ran out.

The second move was a byproduct of her previous failed attempt to master the Blazing Evil Light Sword – by mixing fire-attribute magic, holy light, and the chaotic divine power of the evil god in a certain proportion, she could create a massive explosion with the power of a thermobaric bomb, leaving nothing but barren land within a hundred meters.

Its name is—Blazing Evil Light Bomb.

While thinking about this skill, Valensa suddenly had another inspiration—if the holy light in this skill were replaced with the power of the Sunfire Divine Force… the explosive power would definitely be stronger!

However, this move also has a major problem: the three energies become very unstable when mixed, and in Valensa's hands, they would explode directly, leaving no time to launch or throw them.

The immense explosive force should be enough to kill or blow away most of the surrounding enemies, but Valensa herself would also be affected.

With her fire-immune artifact cloak and Radiant Holy Light Shield, Valensa certainly wouldn't suffer severe injuries from this attack, but she would absorb the full kinetic energy impact of the explosion... She would inevitably be blasted away, and possibly even blown directly outside the spaceship, which was very risky.

So Valensa abandoned this idea after thinking for about 5 seconds.

Are there any other ways to eliminate the vast majority of surrounding enemies in a very short time?

Valensa subconsciously squeezed her legs together, and after thinking rapidly for more than 10 seconds, her eyes lit up.

There really was a solution, and it was an "old friend" she hadn't used in a long time.

Divine runes.

This divine artifact, derived from the power of Alice, the goddess of strength, and Newton's second law, can cause the wearer's enemies to suffer the same attack. It once served Valensa well, helping her defeat many enemies that she could not have defeated with her current strength.

However, with the growth of her strength and the awakening of her evil god bloodline, Valensa was able to defeat her enemies in most situations on her own and had not used the divine power runes for a long time.

However, the power of the divine runes also grows as the wearer's strength increases.

When Valensa was initially only at the Candlelight level, the Divine Power Rune could only be used once a day, and each use could only be ineffective against one attack.

When she breaks through to the Pearl level, the Divine Authority Rune can be used three times in a row, and the cooldown time will be greatly reduced.

Now that Valensa has reached the Radiant rank, the power of the Divine Power Rune is naturally far greater than before, allowing Valensa to enter a state of total reflection for a certain period of time—returning all attacks she receives.

As long as her defense is high enough and her health bar is long enough, all enemies who attack her will fall to her attacks.

This ability is useless when bullying weaker opponents, and she wouldn't dare use it against other Radiant-ranked experts of the same level—most Radiant-ranked experts have extremely powerful finishing moves, and Valensa wouldn't dare to take them head-on.

But now it seems just right... The weapons in the hands of these elite Cyborg soldiers are very advanced, many of which are no weaker than the full-force attack of a Lighthouse-level cultivator, but they themselves are very fragile. Apart from some of their defensive prosthetic bodies, their health and defense are not as good as those of a Candlelight-level cultivator.

What happens when a character with low defense and low health but very high attack encounters a counter-damage attack?

The answers in many games are the same... and this time is no exception.

As Valenza suddenly abandoned all dodging and used her divine shield to withstand several seconds of concentrated fire, the Cyborg soldiers surrounding Valenza instantly began to wail in agony.

Completely bewildered and unable to comprehend what they were doing, they were struck in the head by what appeared to be their own weapons, or shot through the heart, or had their knees shattered... and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

The automatic gun turrets all exploded as if possessed, and the exploding ammunition ignited many places, plunging the warship into a sea of ​​fire, making the alarms even more piercing.

Valencia's resistance was reduced to less than a tenth, making it impossible to stop her from charging straight toward the warship's energy center... The warship commanders, realizing this, all wore expressions of utter despair.

"Miss Knight, wait! We're surrendering to you..."

Seeing Valencia's unstoppable charge toward the energy center, cutting straight through everything, some of the quicker-reacting warship commanders seemed to want to surrender, but it was too late.

Forcibly boarding the ship and breaking through the interception had taken up a lot of Valensa's time, and she had no time to listen to what others were saying.

Sensing that the point where the immense solar energy converged was very close, Valensa stopped without hesitation, concentrated, took a deep breath, and murmured:

"Field, expand!"

Some of the Cyborg soldiers who happened to be not far from Valencia and who were still alive were fortunate enough to see the seemingly boundless sea under the scorching sun, and the all-consuming abyssal vortex in the middle of the sea.

However, before they could even marvel at the magical world before them, they suddenly found themselves completely powerless, all their prosthetics stopped working, their vision went completely black, and their consciousness quickly faded.

The final feeling was that the seawater gently swallowed them, giving them the illusion of returning to their mother's womb and becoming part of the entire ocean.

But Valensa had no time to pay attention to the Cyborg soldiers caught up in the field. She was strangely floating above the sea, stretching out her limbs and constantly twisting her hot body.
