Chapter 1257 - 480: The End of the Mother Empress Ship Battle, a New Beginning for Source Star Civilization

Further ahead, there was dense fog spewed from millions of turned-around Spiny Worms.

Layers upon layers of corrosive fog intertwined and stacked together, but in Ren Zhong’s mind, he already saw a path, the only path that could be safely navigated.

This medium-sized warship, over 7,000 meters long, transformed into a nimble fish, darted inside, then burst out, just clearing the enemy’s yet-to-be-closed defensive opening, heading straight for the Mother Empress Ship.

During this small maneuver, Ren Zhong showcased his foresight and piloting skills to the fullest.

Closer, it got closer and closer.

Finally, he pressed the red button beside him.

The ship’s large onboard batteries reached peak power instantaneously.

Fold Jump!

The warship disappeared.

When it reappeared, the warship was only fifty kilometers from the Mother Empress Ship.

Dazed from the Fold Jump shock, Ren Zhong almost couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

The distance was just right.

And it didn’t explode halfway through.

Although it didn’t unleash the terrifying explosion of energy conversion from a failed Fold Jump, the destructive power was not very considerable, but it was enough.

I can do it.

In fact, Ren Zhong was very clear about one thing.

Before the dire moment, the Mother Empress Ship knew a super long-range missile was coming, also knew the Water Drop Ship’s lurking location, and was well aware that this meteorite satellite was a disguise.

Yet, the Mother Empress Ship did not dispatch combat units beforehand to intercept and clear.

Because the Ascenders were very aware of the technological level of the Empire’s Tracer colonies, and even more so, understood the Empire’s combat thinking and equipment, they were certain Source Star could not possibly have Fold Jump technology, and any preparation would be in vain and pose no threat.

The Mother Empress Ship refrained from acting to avoid exposing the rest of its front-line combat units, letting this fleet of over eleven thousand colonial ships scatter and escape. Though they could definitely be fully destroyed, chasing them would be quite bothersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive.

The Mother Empress Ship wished the colonial fleet would just form its position and wait for death.

The only thing that could evade the perception of the Mother Empress Ship was the large workstation built, led by Ding Canghai, integrating all resources from over 200,000 small reconnaissance ships of the Third Reconnaissance Army, which had long tunneled under the crust of C1915.

Under the new orders, the Third Reconnaissance Army had long changed their marching directions and combat strategy, as long as they could enter C1915 before the Mother Empress Ship’s scouts arrived, all came.

However, from the start of the war, when the cover group led by Yuan Qinh used radio communication, laser communication, and strong light smoke bombs, this humble colonial Special Attack Team displayed something quite extraordinary.

But this still couldn’t pose a substantial threat to the Mother Empress Ship, even if the warship controlled by Ren Zhong alone had started moving, the Mother Empress Ship was still just systematically adjusting its defense line.

The probability of Ren Zhong’s warship being blown up midway was one hundred percent, without surprise.

The only unexpected factor beyond the Mother Empress Ship’s judgment was the excessive length of Ren Zhong’s warship’s Fold Jump this time.

It seemed as if this humble and weak colonial fleet had obtained the Mechanical Empire’s technology and set up a Fold Jump passage here in advance without leaking a bit of spatial fluctuation.

But this was completely unrealistic and completely unexpected by the Mother Empress Ship.

Sometimes, all it takes to change the course of a battle is a little "accident."

The Mother Empress Ship reacted extremely fast.

At 0.1 seconds after detecting Ren Zhong’s warship close by, the giant elephants covering the Mother Empress Ship’s surface like ants turned around, and the tips of their tusks began to glow silver, indicating high-energy vibrations.

At the same time, the surface of the Mother Empress Ship undulated like ocean waves, and the pitch-black keratin layer quickly spread.

Ren Zhong took nearly five seconds to activate the Three-Phase Bomb.

Accompanied by violent tremors, the extremely intense light engulfed Ren Zhong’s body.

He didn’t bring the Red Blade Armor.

His Red Blade Armor was left to Ma Xiaoling, completely modified, but Ma Xiaoling was unaware of this; only knowing her armor, after Ren Zhong’s refinements, had reached an unprecedented level of performance.

That turned out to be a good thing, as at least Ren Zhong, unprotected, passed without pain.

After seamlessly switching to the "God’s Eye View," he saw the brilliance reminiscent of the rising sun, with high-energy heat carrying strong shock waves sweeping toward the Mother Empress Ship, and in just 0.5 seconds, collided with the just-formed keratin shield.

"What a quick reaction speed."

Ren Zhong marveled to himself.

The Mother Empress Ship was truly worthy of being the Ascenders’ core army unit, not only capable of functioning as an independent army, with complete production and development capabilities, but also quite exceptional in self-protection.
