I Really Didn't Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

Chapter 564: Chapter 368: Steep Decline_1

Without hesitation, Harrison Clark put on his new exclusive Galaxy Equipment and flew out once more.

The brief exchange with the Commander did not slow him down; Harrison Clark had adjusted his condition at the fastest speed, ready to return to the battlefield.

But he was still one step behind.

At the front lines, a fierce battle suddenly erupted.

Although the intelligence system had noticed these twenty Blade Mantises from the beginning and analyzed much data, when the Blade Mantises actually moved, everyone was caught off guard.

For example, the one projected before Harrison Clark’s eyes.

One moment, the Blade Mantis was still standing in its shell.

The next, the Blade Mantis appeared beside a sixty-meter-long mini reconnaissance ship.

The right folding arm shot out and slashed through the air.

No sparks or brilliance showed that the reconnaissance ship was silently cut in half.

Detecting the sudden drop in air pressure, the Drogon Armament beneath the crew’s military uniforms automatically popped out, rapidly covering their bodies.

But the long arm of the Blade Mantis swung out a second time.

The body of the Blade Mantis seemed to flicker briefly.

An explosion began to build.

It was caused by the sudden leakage of energy after the Mars Power Storage, Biological Battery, and mini-ship engines were damaged.

The reconnaissance ship shattered into pieces, vanishing into ashes in a series of explosions.

This was only the beginning.

In the blink of an eye, the Blade Mantis appeared next to a slightly larger small-size pursuit warship.

It repeated the process.

With a horizontal swing of the long arm, the compressed space layer and warship body connected to the Pseudo-Curvature Engine were both cut in half.

As the space suddenly released due to the warship being severed in half, it expanded rapidly, but the shock of the space vibrations dissipated silently before reaching the Blade Mantis, diverting away like wind blowing through a tree trunk or a knife cutting through water.

The expansion of space was too sudden, and the exposed crew members didn’t even have time to put on their Drogon Armament.

The fragile human bodies inside couldn’t withstand the sudden expansion of space, exploding into blood and water.

At this place, there was another scene of carnage.

As for the warship’s shield?

It was as good as non-existent, ineffective, and might as well be non-existent.

No one knew how the Blade Mantis could appear directly next to the warship itself.

It simply lifted its leg, crossing space and flickering to the next location.

Explosions were not limited to this one spot.

Within a very short time, smoke filled this section of the battlefield.

In less than five seconds, more than a hundred warships were lost, and tens of thousands of people were killed.

As Harrison Clark, leading six thousand elite Galaxy Warriors and a million Caudron Army Corps members, rushed to the battlefield, he received the latest intelligence from Star.

The intelligence was detailed, but he felt he hadn’t received any useful information.

Currently, only two types of Blade Mantis’ offensive methods had been analyzed: the cutting of the folding long arms and the emergence of a strange light beam from the small mouth on the triangular head skull, seemingly liquid yet not, seemingly particle-like yet faster, and having the appearance of a physical toxin but with a strong explosive effect.

The efficacy of the light beam was still unclear.

The cutting mechanism of the folding long arm, on the other hand, had been solved.

Star gave Harrison Clark a despairing name.

“Unified Force Cutting.”

Harrison Clark: “Are you sure it’s the Grand Unified Force?”

“Yes.”

Harrison Clark: “The Grand Unified Force that can perfectly encompass gravity, electromagnetism, strong interaction, and weak interaction?”

Star: “Perhaps more than the four you mentioned, but with my current knowledge, I can only definitely answer you about these four basic interactions. Yes, it can encompass them. The special interaction permeating the Blade Mantis’ blade arms can freeze space and cut through any matter with spatial properties.”

“Okay, I understand. What about the Blade Mantis’ flickering movement? What’s that ability?”

“I named it Instant Teleportation, or short-range controllable space traversal. You can regard it as a short-range warp ability controlled by organisms. What you see as flickering with your naked eye is actually a short-range warp in that instant completed by its body.”

Harrison Clark nodded, “I understand.”

Star asked, “So, have you figured out a battle plan?”

Harrison Clark shook his head, “No, I’m lost encountering such an enemy for the first time.”

After saying this, he quietly turned his head and looked at the still charging Stellar Giant Cannon in the distance, “If the Stellar Giant Cannon hits them, it should work, right?”

“But it’s impossible to hit them. Theoretically, their movement speed is faster than light.”

Harrison Clark sighed again, “Is the ultimate weapon of the Compound Eye NPCs so powerful?”

“Are you starting to feel depressed?”

“Not really, just unwilling and unconvinced. Given another 500,000 years, we would have ten thousand ways to crush these mantises.”

Star: “The Compound-Eyed Observers have paid a price as well.”

“What price?”

“There are only thirteen Compound-Eyed Observers left in the Spherical Battleship.”

“Huh?”

“The Blade Mantis is different from the Dragonfly Fighters and Eight-legged Beetles, as they are transformations of the originally fragile Compound-Eyed Observers. Just now, the Spherical Battleship poured all its energy into forty of its kind, but you and Needham Brown killed twenty, leaving twenty.”

“This is an irreversible transformation. When gaining indestructible abilities, the Blade Mantis lose the qualifications of being intelligent life, left with only an extremely simple way of thinking. They have paid with their lives.”

Harrison Clark smiled, “That’s good to hear. Compared to last time, I gained a lot. So far, I’ve killed forty!”

The universe never gives gifts without reason or provides shortcuts to civilizations.

However, the Compound Eye Civilization had indeed taken a shortcut.They did not study the fundamental principles of what unified force, jump, space, time, antimatter, and dark energy are…

Instead, they directly obtained the application methods, using their biological characteristics as a ladder to the sky, and easily mastered the use of these technologies at the cost of their lives.

They did not explore the essence of the Grand Unified Force.

They skipped the terrifying exploration stage and directly obtained the ultimate application method, using it as a weapon to conquer the stars.

Compared to the Compound Eye Civilization, Earthlings were more like an advanced civilization.

The war between the two civilizations was like a fool armed with a machine gun storming into a classroom of elementary school students who could go to college in the future.

“Sigh.”

Harrison Clark heaved a sigh.

Is this it?

If he had known the enemy’s capability earlier, he would have been even more unwilling.

Earthlings’ previous extinctions were very unjust.

Perhaps even the universe couldn’t bear to watch, thus giving him this chance to traverse time and space, reversing the course of fate.

At the other end, Nora Camp had already begun to deploy troops in an attempt to intercept and block the Blade Mantis’s attack.

But it was futile.

Blade Mantis’s movement ability was too bizarre, there were no traces to be found, and the artillery could not lock onto it.

In less than a minute, the relatively elite fleet of small warships was completely wiped out.

The good news was that Gaius Julius finally led an elite special operations team of 100,000 Galaxy Warriors to the scene.

But Harrison Clark’s heavy heart did not lighten up at all.

In just an instant, Harrison Clark saw a scene like this in the battlefield monitor.

The 100,000 Galaxy Warriors formed ten comprehensive battlegroups large enough to support each other.

Then, the green light spots representing their side’s fighters began to rapidly go out in linear patterns.

When the lights went out, people indeed died.

In just under a minute, the 100,000 Galaxy Warriors led by Gaius were completely wiped out.

Arriving immediately afterward was the Great Wind Legion led by Lieutenant General Felix Yeoman, with a total strength of 20 million people.

Harrison Clark was finally about to approach the battlefield.

He began to communicate with Lieutenant General Felix Yeoman.

“I’ve decided to first dispatch an array of fighters to consume and delay the enemy’s movements as much as possible. General Clark, be aware…”

Lieutenant General Felix Yeoman’s words were cut off when a white light beam of about 30 kilometers in diameter suddenly shone from below, directly passing through the Great Wind Legion fleet.

Some warships, including the flagship, were enveloped in it.

Then the white halo began to move, like someone holding a flashlight wildly waving it in the night sky.

The warships and fighters that were illuminated fell silent, followed by the shields dissipating and the metal structures melting.

Harrison Clark looked back at the Spherical Battleship.

A damaged long-barreled cannon emerged from the Spherical Battleship, and the white light beam came right from it.

It was another new weapon.

Harrison Clark couldn’t understand it, but it didn’t stop the Compound-Eyed Observers from inflicting continuous casualties on humans.

At the same time, Star informed Harrison Clark of the new bad news.

“The Spherical Battleship is quickly self-repairing and regenerating energy supplies. More Dragonfly Fighters and Eight-legged Beetles are flying out.”

Harrison Clark asked, “Are there any Long Whiskers left?”

“No.”

“But the diameter of the Spherical Battleship is increasing after repairing, and it looks like it’s using thicker armor. The Spherical Battleship is trying to use conventional maneuvering patterns to escape our encirclement.”

Harrison Clark knew this information, and so did Nora Camp.

They absolutely couldn’t let the Spherical Battleship escape.

Now it was already desperate enough; if the Spherical Battleship escaped the encirclement, then humans would only face the Blade Mantis.

Nora Camp deployed her troops again, adjusting and combining the encirclement formations.

At the same time, she continued to cover the charging Black Hole Bomb as much as possible.

Nora Camp began gathering another 50,000 elite Galaxy Warriors.

Harrison Clark was now heading to the Blade Mantis’s location.

The difficult task of bombing the Spherical Battleship with Particle-interference Bombs and Black Hole Bombs for the second time would have to be handed over to someone else.

After quickly completing the arrangements, Nora Camp turned her attention back to the temporarily disconnected Great Wind Legion.

She personally took over command, dispersing the fleet and attempting to guide the white light beam towards the Blade Mantis’s position.

She also multitasked by asking Harrison Clark, “How much longer? What’s the chance of delaying the Blade Mantis? This is crucial.”

Harrison Clark thought for a moment, “10 percent.”

“Fine. It’s all up to you now.”

“Alright.”

Harrison Clark thought she would hang up the communication after the conversation, but she added, “Harrison, you said you’d always appear in the most dangerous places on the battlefield, right?”

“Yes.”

“You’ve always kept your word.”

“Yes.”

“You also said you wouldn’t die easily.”

Harrison Clark smiled, “Of course. I must live until the end, only then will this war have the greatest value.”
