In the arena, Zhang Xiaoman was floating in midair, observing the surroundings.
Below, the members of the Ninth Fleet were utterly stunned at this point.
They had their mouths wide open, looking up at the sky at that god-like figure, having even forgotten to observe what was happening around them.
"What, what in the world is that...?"
Surprise was written all over Lune’s face.
Initially, he had more than once pondered whether there were Transcendents in this world.
After all, monsters had appeared, so logically, it would be normal for humans to manifest Transcendents.
Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, he never found anyone with Extraordinary Power, at most only hearing some rumors.
This had made him give up on the idea eventually.
But now, unexpectedly, today, at their most desperate moment, someone had stepped in to save them.
And the power that person utilized was clearly the Extraordinary Power he had always been seeking.
Lune’s feelings were incredibly complex at this time.
While grateful that the person had saved him and others, he also had countless questions he wanted to ask.
Zhang Xiaoman had no intention of greeting the people below.
His act of saving these people was merely incidental.
After all, they had previously harbored ill intentions towards him.
It was just a misunderstanding that what was inside the Shield was left by the aliens.
Otherwise, he would not even think about saving these people, let alone not having wiped them out himself, he would have considered himself too benevolent.
Although he wanted to save the world, he was not one to repay ill with kindness.
At this moment, the insects had breached all the defenses, converging towards the spot where the people stood.
The soldiers finally snapped out of their shock from seeing the Extraordinary Power and focused on the insects swarming from all sides.
However, there were too many monsters; they were like a small boat in the middle of the ocean, seemingly about to be overwhelmed by waves at any moment.
"He...he will come to save us, right...?"
In the team, someone quietly asked a comrade beside him.
The person asked could only respond with a wry smile.
How could they possibly know whether he would act or not?
But, judging from the situation on the ground, that figure in the sky was now their last hope.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the densely packed army of insects beside him and slightly shook his head.
There were simply too many monsters; alone, he could not possibly kill them all.
But, he was not alone.
The next second, he suddenly rose higher, his figure instantly vanishing from everyone’s field of view.
Before the people below could react, the sky suddenly turned purple.
Dozens of huge purple beams, about ten meters in diameter, fell from the sky, plunging directly into the insect swarm.
Immediately after, those beams began to sweep across, and any insect they touched almost instantly turned to ash.
Twenty-some beams, like Divine Punishment bestowed by a god, scattered the swarm of insects in the blink of an eye.
"Such...such terrifying power... Is this really something humans can achieve...?"
The warriors below were completely dumbfounded by now, facing such a startling scene, they even felt as if they were suffocating.
Some people hastily made gestures with their right hand across their chest, mumbling something as if praying.
However, what they did not know was that this earth-shattering attack was actually launched by a Space Battleship high above.
Zhang Xiaoman was now floating high in the air, thousands of meters above his head was the massive form of the Dawn.
Under his command, the ship’s main brain, Star Order, had deployed a large-scale Clustered Plasma Beam, specifically to combat large groups of enemies.
Because it was night, and the ship was too far from the ground, Lune and the others could not see Dawn’s body at all.
They thought these purple beams, like before, were also executed by that person.
On the ground, rocks continuously rolled.
The entire surface seemed as if it had been plowed, and some areas near the center of the beams were even directly melted by the high temperatures, creating clusters of crystals.
The whole process lasted about a minute, and by the time those purple beams ceased, the surrounding insect army had been reduced to ashes.
Zhang Xiaoman raised his hand, firing hundreds of purple rays to kill some insects attempting to escape, clearing all the enemies from the field.
"Attack completed, Cluster Array Energy Crystal damaged, please replenish promptly."
The prompt from Star Order rang in his ear.
"Report on the remaining crystal status."
"Plasma Cluster Array, 1st port Energy Crystal damaged, 2nd port Energy Crystal damaged, 3rd port Energy Crystal remaining 3%, 4th port Energy Crystal damaged..."
Star Order summarized the current status of the Dawn.
Zhang Xiaoman nodded; this situation was already within his expectations.
This high-tech ship was great in many ways, but it consumed "ammo" too quickly.
The key issue was that he still had no way to replenish it, once it was used up, that was it.
But he had no choice, given the circumstances just now, to annihilate that swarm of insects, he had to use that move.
It was not just for the hundreds of lives below, but also to eliminate a large portion of the insect forces right there.
