Although I didn't know why the Dark Domain Insect Clan had deployed two Brain Worms this time, there was no need to spend time delving into that under the current circumstances.
Immediately after successfully locking onto the targets, Manu issued the order for a full-scale assault.
Hundreds of spaceships were divided into two groups.
One group, led by him personally with Battleships at the forefront, initiated a bold and courageous knightly charge towards the Brain Worm on the left, which seemed slightly larger in size.
The performance of the ships in the other group was notably inferior, but they were led by Fei Ye and Herbert, supervisors from the Star Contract, and the ships were mostly loaded with mercenaries hired by the Star Network Community from various places.
On the ground, the Brain Worms were able to wear down the defending forces' numbers, weapons, equipment, and morale by continuously deploying various insects.
But once they entered the Star Sea and their hiding spots were exposed, the threat of the Brain Worms was significantly reduced.
The strength of the insects they deployed that could move in a vacuum was not to be underestimated, but compared to the overwhelming Insect Tide on the ground, their numbers were laughable.
byd, take a hit from me!
Thousands of ship cannons fired at once, no matter how many insects the Brain Worms brought forth through the air, they all ended up crushed into debris.
Amongst the stars, the beams of lasers, the light from cannon explosions, and lightning storms stirring up electric sparks... such brutal weapons bared their fangs.
In truth, the combat power on the Brain Worms' side was fierce.
Not only could they quickly seize control of smaller Escort Ships through Virtual Invasion, but they also had the trump card that was the Biological Battleships.
But Manu could rely on not just the spaceships at hand but also the ground-based Planet Array Cannons. A fully charged shot from a Planet Array Cannon could tear an Escort Ship apart. Unless someone had a special ability, no Ordinary S-class Superpower User would dare to directly withstand the Planet Array Cannon.
A deep-purple particle torrent spanned a million miles and hit the Biological Battleship, which twisted and writhed in the Star Sea, letting out silent wails.
"Holy crap, 130,000 points of health, and it's still squirming around with a bunch of holes blown through it!"
Bai Fu and all the Players witnessing this scene were astounded.
Especially the Players, who imagined themselves attacking such a monster.
Well damn, like a toothpick stirring a... spit, mosquitoes biting an elephant, right!
Truly tough as nails, no wonder the Dark Domain Insect Clan turned these Starry Sky Giant Beasts into Biological Battleships for transporting and cultivating Insect Eggs.
Bai Fu really wanted to say she'd like one for herself too.
But no matter how tough it was, under the relentless attack from the Planet Array Cannon and the ship cannons, the giant Biological Battleship finally couldn't hold on any longer.
After spewing a final thick plume of plasma towards the Battleship's Shield, it abruptly lifted its battered head, whimpered, and powerlessly closed its murky eyes.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Bai Fu thought she saw a hint of relief in those eyes.
Manu let out an incredibly refreshing laugh.
The Biological Battleship and those Escort Ships that had been taken over by the Brain Worms managed to breach the Shield of his Battleship, but they hadn't completely broken through, had they?
Now that the Biological Battleship was dead, those two Brain Worms had no more backup.
Manu no longer cared whether the Shields would shatter during the head-on charge, nor did he have the time to direct the aboard Mechanics in a battle of wits with the Brain Worms; his eyes were fixed solely on those two Brain Worms.
As long as he killed those two Brain Worms, all crises would be resolved, and he would surely draw the attention of the Dark Domain Insect Clan, buying enough time for the main fleet's surprise attack.
"It's not been easy."
Bai Fu, sitting by the porthole, sighed.
She had crossed hundreds of thousands of light-years to get to Heavenly Lake Star, wanting nothing more than to cling to Fei Ye's coattails and enjoy a couple of sips of hot soup happily.
But when she actually got to Heavenly Lake Star, although the benefits were plentiful, she was dead-tired and hadn't managed to get a sip of hot soup from Fei Ye after nearly ten days; all the interactions were her putting in the effort—it was maddening.
Luckily, she could finally relax without lifting a finger and enjoy watching how Fei Ye would handle things.
"After completing the commission, I'll probably get my hands on tens of millions of Experience points, just wonder what that hidden reward will be."
Bai Fu's right leg slowly lifted and rested on her left leg—she was in good spirits, so she crossed her legs at ease.
Several minutes later, even without reliance on detectors, she could clearly see the appearance of the Brain Worm—fat-headed, fat-bodied, with black tentacles like bone whips covering its body.
There was no need for hesitation; upon sighting them, all the ships launched their attacks simultaneously.
Pour out, all the frustrations!
The Dimension Wave Shock Bombs caused the surrounding space to become extremely unstable, preventing the Brain Worm from using its spatial ability to dodge effectively. It could only control more ships with its Virtual Invasion ability while braving the gunfire to close the distance to the ships.
If it managed to attach itself to a ship, it could avoid the barrage of the ship cannons.
"It's moving really fast; our attacks are hardly hitting it!"
"No matter, let it come closer, I'll take action."
Herbert rubbed his hands together eagerly.
He had been putting up with these damn insects for too long. They made a big fuss and not only failed to take out Bai Fu but instead elevated her from Savior Saintess to Goddess of Victory. Anyone unaware would think the insects were Bai Fu's hired extras, just boosting her status.
