The Sky Master’s patience slowly wore thin due to the persistent harassment.
The resonance effects prevented it from peacefully consuming planetary matter, and if this resonance continued, its own body would suffer harm.
By the sixth month, the Sky Master was finally enraged!
"Damn mosquitoes, so annoying! I’m going to swat you all!" It finally moved, flying towards outer space near Jupiter, with the intent to exterminate humanity on planets like Blue Star and Mars!
Its mass was too immense, just as He Xingzhou had suspected; even moving around Jupiter required unimaginable kinetic energy.
Jupiter’s gravity limited its speed, and from the human perspective, the Sky Master’s speed was even slower than their former era’s spacecraft.
"Don’t let it come to Blue Star, have the fleet go and harass it!" He Xingzhou ordered.
Immediately, a fleet near Jupiter commenced beyond-visual-range strikes.
Though their attacks inflicted minimal damage on the Sky Master, they slightly diverted its attention.
On the surface of the Sky Master, holes appeared, from which lasers shot out, crossing distances between planets in the Solar System to strike targets.
Moreover, the energy intensity, even after astronomical units, could still destroy some warships—warships below Level 7 could not withstand its attacks, not even at a tenth of a light year away!
"My fleet is suffering severe losses!" the front-line commander cried out.
"All warships below Level 7, retreat. Star Destroyers and sub-light-speed battleships continue to harass, lead it to Mercury’s orbit!" He Xingzhou shouted.
In space, captains attacked from extreme distances using electromagnetic resonance waves, the only means they had to harass the Sky Master.
"Tiny insects, do you think a few sub-light-speed battleships can oppose a Planet Devourer?" Countless projectiles flew off the Sky Master’s body again!
These projectiles were crystal cores, bound by strong forces, their speed could approach light speed.
A sub-light speed nuclear missile hit an L8 main battleship, the plasma of the energy shield couldn’t dissolve its outer shell, and the automatic defense system’s proton missiles barely cracked a layer of its material.
As large as meteorites, these projectiles shattered the warship’s armor upon impact, unleashing strong force bindings in an instant, and fragmented like a hydrogen bomb explosion, destroying the entire warship!
Under everyone’s noses, over an immense distance, the Sky Master easily destroyed thirteen such warships!
"Use subatomic rays, all non-Star Destroyer and sub-light-speed warships retreat!" On the front line, Luo An realized that against such a monster, even planet-level warships could hardly harass.
There were also sub-light speed nuclear missiles directed at sub-light-speed warships, the warship’s phase beams barely managed to break the nuclear missiles, barely defending against them.
"Captain, the Sky Master is heading towards us!" a lookout on the sub-light speed battleship Uranus urgently reported to Captain Qin Yi.
The Uranus is humanity’s largest and most capable battleship to date.
The Sky Master targeted it, deciding to destroy it.
"Run!" Without a shred of hesitation, Qin Yi knew they couldn’t win, so he ordered the ship to fly towards Mercury’s orbit.
Meanwhile, other warships were also heading towards Mercury’s orbit.
The Sky Master noticed this phenomenon, "Are the natives trying to lure me?"
"Mars has already left its original orbit, it seems humanity has congregated three planets near the Sun, establishing their own military base?"
"If so, then I shall destroy you all!" The Sky Master felt no fear in its heart, as a Complete Planet Devourer, it was nearly invincible within the Star System!
Even with a Second-level Civilization here, it wouldn’t dare provoke it.
The Sky Master flew towards Mercury’s orbit, while being cautious, attacking the surfaces of the three planets from an extreme distance.
Flying alongside it were hundreds of Space Insect Nests!
These Space Insect Nests were full of Planet Giant Beasts, and the nests themselves were also combat weapons.
On Blue Star, the Planet Orbital Gun never stopped, continually bombarding the Space Insect Nests.
Meanwhile, the Space Insect Nests advanced to gather intelligence for the Sky Master, engaging in battle with fleets and landing Giant Beasts on several planets.
Outside Mars, dozens of Space Insect Nests and over a billion Planet Giant Beasts advanced, the Mars Fleet did its utmost to resist, yet many Giant Beasts landed on Mars’s surface, causing massive destruction. Content originally comes from novel·fiɾe·net
The same was true on Venus and Mercury.
The surface constructions on these planets were almost half destroyed, but fortunately, humanity had long moved crucial facilities into Space Cities, so these losses were manageable.
The Sky Master gradually approached the three planets, by which point humanity had seized the initiative.
Warships and various weapon strikes destroyed over half of the Space Insect Nests, killed countless Planet Giant Beasts, leaving space filled with insect corpses.
"Humanity has large military bases on all three planets!" the insects reported to the Sky Master.
The Sky Master laughed: "If the natives want to lure me in and destroy me, then they are too naive!"
"Today, I will let them see what calamity truly means!"
"All three planets, destroy them all!"
At this moment, the Sky Master’s body transformed.
Crystal cores the size of small asteroids split from its body, a total of over ten thousand!
