Chapter 388 Emergency Rescue and a New Crisis
Lin Yu clutched the crystal ball, the distress cries still echoing from the communication channel. He and his team exchanged glances, a hint of seriousness in their eyes. "Captain, what do we do?" one of the team members asked anxiously. Lin Yu took a deep breath and decisively ordered, "Adjust course, full speed ahead to the Cosmic Alliance headquarters, depart immediately!" The fleet swiftly changed direction, engines blazing with light, and sped towards the Cosmic Alliance headquarters.
During their long voyage, Lin Yu and Ellie conducted a more in-depth study of the crystal ball. They discovered that during its battle with the energy behemoth, the crystal ball seemed to have absorbed some unknown energy, causing subtle changes to its internal structure. "Lin Yu, the energy fluctuations of this crystal ball are very peculiar right now. It seems to contain some kind of new power, which may play a crucial role in the upcoming battle," Ellie said while operating the instruments.
Lin Yu nodded slightly, his gaze firm: "No matter what awaits us ahead, this crystal ball could be our trump card. Everyone, hurry up and familiarize yourselves with the crystal ball's new properties." The team members quickly sprang into action, throwing themselves into the intense preparations.
Finally, the fleet arrived at the star system where the Cosmic Alliance headquarters was located. The scene before them shocked them: several Alliance warships were engaged in fierce combat, beams of energy crisscrossed the dark universe, and flashes of fire from explosions appeared intermittently. Strangely shaped warships were frantically attacking the Alliance's fortifications; these warships emitted eerie glows, clearly belonging to an unknown force.
"All personnel, enter combat readiness! Support the Alliance warships!" Lin Yu shouted, and the fleet charged into the battlefield like arrows. They quickly joined the battle, fighting alongside the Alliance warships and launching a fierce attack on the unknown force's ships.
However, the unknown force's warships seemed to possess powerful defensive systems, rendering the fleet's attacks less than ideal. "These warships have unique shields; conventional attacks have negligible effect on them," Ellie analyzed. Lin Yu frowned, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield, and suddenly noticed a brief fluctuation in the energy output of the unknown force's warships.
"Attention everyone! Aim for the instant their energy output fluctuates and launch your attack! Concentrate your firepower!" Lin Yu shouted. The fleet adjusted its attack strategy, and at the moment the enemy's energy fluctuated, powerful beams of energy poured out. Sure enough, under the precise attack, a crack appeared in the shield of an unknown force's warship, followed by a deafening explosion.
"It's working! Keep it up!" The team members' morale soared, and they continued to look for opportunities to launch attacks. In the midst of the fierce battle, Lin Yu suddenly discovered that the unknown force's warships seemed to be operating around a core target, which appeared to be related to the energy hub of the Cosmic Alliance headquarters.
“Ellie, analyze the enemy’s movements. Their target is likely the Alliance Headquarters’ energy hub. If the energy hub is destroyed, the Alliance Headquarters will be in dire straits,” Lin Yu said. Ellie quickly operated the equipment, and after a moment her expression turned serious: “Lin Yu, you guessed right. The enemy is gathering its forces, preparing for a final attack on the energy hub.”
Lin Yu was extremely anxious; he knew he had to stop the enemy as soon as possible. Then he remembered the crystal ball in his hand; perhaps it held the key to turning the tide of the battle. "Ellie, try fusing the crystal ball's energy with the fleet's weapon systems to see if we can create a powerful offensive weapon."
Ellie acted swiftly, and after some tense adjustments, she finally succeeded in fusing the crystal ball's energy with the weapon system. "Lin Yu, fusion complete. The weapon's power has been greatly enhanced, but the energy consumption is also enormous. We only have one chance," Ellie said.
Lin Yu gripped the control stick tightly, his gaze fixed on the enemy's core warship: "Attention all personnel, concentrate all energy, prepare to launch a fatal blow." The fleet slowly approached the enemy's core warship, and the surrounding battle intensified, with allied warships and warships from unknown forces attacking each other frantically.
As the fleet closed to a suitable distance, Lin Yu shouted, "Fire!" A beam of energy containing world-destroying power shot out from the fleet, heading straight for the enemy's core warship. Faced with this powerful attack, the core warship's shields shattered instantly, followed by a violent explosion.
With the destruction of the core warship, the unknown force's ships began to fall into chaos, their attacks becoming disorganized and haphazard. The Alliance warships seized the opportunity and launched a full-scale counterattack. Through the combined efforts of the Alliance fleet and Lin Yu's fleet, the unknown force's warships were gradually repelled.
However, Lin Yu knew that this battle was only a temporary victory. The emergence of unknown forces had made the situation in the universe even more complex. Who were they? Where did they come from? And why were they attacking the Cosmic Alliance? These questions, like layers of fog, shrouded Lin Yu's mind. The powerful force displayed by the crystal ball in this battle also made him realize that perhaps a greater secret was hidden behind it all.
