Chapter 817: Chapter 812 What is the Sea of Worms (Part 1)_1
No matter how you slice it, there are numerous ways to crack the Warhammer defense system, but Jeremiah Jenkins had never seen such a method of destruction before, this wasn’t just hacking anymore, it was a direct frontal assault, shattering the defenses head-on with everything else being secondary.
The space spores that collided at such high velocity certainly destroyed more than just one or two, or even three, but a spaceship can release only millions of the Warhammer defense system clusters. So, just how many of these spores were there? They were dense and seemingly endless.
What was terrifying was that the speed of these spores was almost the same from front to back, something Finn Lewis noticed when the Leviathan launched them, with at least tens of millions of space spores being fired. The Insect Species ground troops were not in the earlier released spores but only in those that followed.
When these space spores surged continuously with terrifying speed, the effect was akin to using a six-barrel Gatling gun to continuously pound a single point on a sturdy steel wall, the strong continuous impact was nearly invincible.
This was the same principle as cutting steel with a high-pressure water jet, and at this moment, the velocity of these space spores was much more terrifying than that of a high-pressure water jet. Most importantly, despite the large area impacted by the space spores, it did not mean that their penetrative power was reduced, because their density was just too horrifying; behind each spore was invariably another spore following closely.
In such a scenario, with the horrific explosive effect, the result was that the Warhammer defense systems that shielded the front of the warship defenses were instantly penetrated. The Warhammer defense systems relied on dense physical defenses. As for the energy cannons similar to the main guns, naturally, there were shields behind them for defense, but those shields were not equipped to handle physical attacks.
But at this moment, these Warhammer defense systems didn’t even have time to maneuver or reinforce the defense of any part and were directly destroyed like a sieve being punctured. Strictly speaking, they had not collapsed, but even without collapsing, there wasn’t much defensive capability left.
The ferocious essence of these warships was now laid bare, each housing at least tens of thousands of space fighters and space mechs, in addition to over three hundred thousand Gene Warriors. The Rochefort Clan certainly did not share Finn Lewis’s view on Gene Warriors; they used them effortlessly.
Gene Warriors could be seen as the modified humans found in some of Earth’s films and TV shows, possessing great strength, agility, neural reflex speed, and even some special abilities like those with animal genes, which granted them sensory faculties far beyond normal humans. They even had parts of animal organs, such as wings—an extraordinary feature.
But even the most powerful Gene Warrior was still a biological entity. The Insect Species, on the other hand, were a formidable race that swept across the universe with brute strength. In terms of genetic modification and the use of these genetic essences, to put it bluntly, these Gene Warriors were merely trash.
Any combat unit of the Insect Species, apart from those without attack capabilities or serving auxiliary roles, was nearly an efficient killing machine.
Therefore, although the number of Insect Species units that had entered these warships was not large, the damage they caused was extremely terrifying. Even though these Gene Warriors were all equipped with weapons, the confined spaces inside the warships still greatly hindered their effectiveness.
Of course, the cramped space wasn’t only limiting the Gene Warriors, but the Insect Species as well. However, at this moment, Jeremiah Jenkins, who had already received reports that the situation was under control, was not in the mood to think too much about it, as by now virtually every ship in the fleet had been infiltrated by spores.
But these spores should be eradicated soon. Now a new problem had arisen—the terrifying corrupt flying insects that had just launched an assault on them. These corrupt flying insects were slow, only now managing to surge forward, and the horrific number had already prompted Jeremiah Jenkins to allow the auxiliary cannons of the warships to open fire.
Most of these corrupt flying insects were shredded to flesh before they even reached the dwindling defenses of the Warhammer Defense Systems, their remains scattered in space, but this was futile. The number of corrupt flying insects that emerged from the Leviathan was unknown even to Finn Lewis. It took approximately twenty minutes for Insect Eggs to hatch into corrupt flying insects—just twenty minutes. However, the Leviathan could incubate half a million Insect Eggs every minute. This meant that every minute, half a million corrupt flying insects joined the battle.
