Chapter 1595: Chapter 597: Massive Intake, Ultra-High Power

He began to manipulate the warship, now his personal vehicle, to transform its shape. The warship turned into a serpentine curve.

At the same time, his mind was highly focused, staring into the space ahead.

His dynamic and static neural visual response indices continued to soar, while his mind was constantly peering into the near "future."

To restrain his fold jump abilities, the second-tier Mother Empress revealed her real power right from the start.

The Red Blade Clan can innovate and evolve during war, yet the Ascendants are no less capable; in just this short time, they immediately found a solution.

But Ren Zhong wasn’t anxious; the short-range jump seemed like his trump card, but in reality, it was merely a clever trick.

His true strength comes from his uniquely robust physical resilience, the superior consciousness upload capability leading to human-machine integration, and the battle foresight based on an extensive foundation of real combat experience.

If it’s solely about traditional warship piloting skills, this is his forte.

Thus, Ren Zhong maneuvered the snake-like warship to twist and dart through space, frequently activating the medium engine and gravity engine, leaping significantly forward, easily dodging numerous physical missiles and energy weapons’ concentrated strikes.

Yet, some small reproductive subunits like high-speed high-rank Vipers and Stingers managed to keep up with Ren Zhong’s warship.

Vipers and Stingers, these combat units may seem low-ranking, but they have undergone millions of years of evolution and accumulation within the Ascendants, reaching the ultimate limit of evolutionary selection of micro-war creatures. Despite being tiny in size, they pose limited threats to elite Empire warriors in large-scale wars, but their overwhelming numbers and fearless nature mean they can overwhelm through sheer force.

The reason Ascendants massively deploy these classic small combat units is not due to an inability to create stronger creatures, but simply because these maximally evolved small entities possess the highest input-output ratio.

Fortunately, within the Red Blade Clan, Ren Zhong’s flagship is also extremely expensive, built with excessive durability.

Even with equivalent quality, the materials in Ren Zhong’s flagship cost dozens of times more than those of ordinary warships.

The energy batteries used are also custom-made, with energy density and maximum energy release power several times that of common ships.

Therefore, the attacks from small reproductive subunits that could damage ordinary Red Blade Army warships only feel like a scratch to Ren Zhong’s flagship.

This greatly eased Ren Zhong’s operational difficulty, allowing him to advance farther during the constant pushing forward by letting go of trivial threats.

Behind Ren Zhong, the Red Blade Army also charged forward at any cost, advancing relentlessly.

Ren Zhong’s previous urgent attitude has profoundly made everyone realize that the situation has reached a critical moment, either total annihilation or grit through this round.

The Red Blade Clan’s full-scale offensive at any cost surprised those on the Empire Core’s side.

The Chosen Guards reaffirmed, followed by a stamp and signature from the Supreme Military Department, and the previous rumors and slanders against the Red Blade Clan were self-defeating. Not only did the entire clan participate in the battle, but they are now charging forward even at the risk of clan extinction, blocking the enemy forces. Earl Red Blade’s loyalty to the Empire is beyond doubt, needing no further words.

During the continuous advancement, Ren Zhong gradually felt the power of the second-tier Mother Empress Ship.

Its power is not only in the immense energy equivalent to one-ten-thousandth of a stellar mass but also in the terrifying operational prowess it possesses.

Upon its arrival, in addition to distorting spatial coordinates with high energy consumption interference methods, it continuously emitted combat reproductive subunits.

In less than half an hour, the combat subunits emerging from the second-tier Mother Empress Ship doubled the overall scale of Ascendants’ forces.

And the numbers are still increasing, seemingly endless.

The Ascendant combat units that were killed in previous battles seemed to come back to life, drifting like streams returning to the sea, towards the location of the second-tier Mother Empress.

Clearly, through some mysterious means, the second-tier Mother Empress reactivated some cells in these reproductive subunits that should have been dead.

Aside from a few remnants being scavenged by the Red Blade Clan’s collection team, most of the Ascendants’ earlier damaged forces have formed a space torrent, converging towards the location of the second-tier Mother Empress, and were then consumed by the Mother Empress’s devouring organs.
