Chapter 1671 - 1: Are There Really Divines?
Although their Phantom Spirit Clan could previously achieve similar destructive effects, they could even directly destroy a planet with a single shot from the Star Annihilation Cannon, but there were also prerequisites.
To destroy a planet with one shot, it must rely on a powerful Planet Annihilator; such a gigantic turret uses the energy of an entire planet for its consumption and launch. Moreover, its size is immense, it must use the planet as a base; each launch requires an extended preparation and charging time, making it extremely cumbersome.
In contrast, the spaceship just now took less than ten seconds to create such frightening destructive damage with those five-colored lights on this land. Such level ship weapons are simply not something that their race could possess.
Just knowing that simply killing living forces and a single attack was enough to obliterate the land completely are two completely different concepts, even if Yadun, who is lacking in technological knowledge, understood this deeply.
Moreover, the most important thing is that, just when that spaceship launched its attack, Yadun vaguely sensed a terrifying psionic wave from those five-colored lights filling the sky, something he still finds hard to believe.
In reality, because Yadun’s Spiritual Power level is too low, he didn’t perceive much of the Spiritual Power attack just launched by the Hail, that’s why he thought it was his illusion. If other Star Alliance members were here, they would certainly clearly feel huge Spiritual Power waves from that cataclysmic force.
"They...might not be people from the Phantom Spirit Clan..."
At this moment, Yadun also realized one thing, which is the identity of the arrivals may not be what he initially imagined.
"Whoosh~"
A sudden shake came from below, and a group of Phantom Spirit People looked down in panic. It turned out that the cylindrical cliff they were standing on was collapsing, mainly because it was created under the protection of a shield, with no structural support and power to sustain it. Before long, they might fall into the abyss below.
"Be careful! Everyone hold hands and stay close together as a group!"
Yadun hurriedly instructed everyone to execute a rescue, making them hold hands tightly to avoid dispersing during the fall.
Even though he understood such rescue methods were not very meaningful, given the height they would fall from, probably none of the survivors would survive.
But he also thought through one point, since the other party took action to save them, they likely wouldn’t just watch them fall?
Sure enough, in the next moment, as the ground beneath them completely crumbled, Yadun and the others didn’t follow suit to fall but rather floated eerily in mid-air.
"What’s going on?"
Sarah looked at her body in surprise and curiosity; she could feel a force surrounding her, letting her hover in the air like she’s controlling flight.
The surrounding Phantom Spirit People wore the same expression of wonder, looking around and at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.
"It’s psionic energy...it’s psionic energy!"
After quietly feeling, Yadun couldn’t help but shout in surprise.
If his previous perception was uncertain, now, when this force is so clearly applied to him, Yadun finally understands; they really are using psionic means to save them.
"Impossible... Phantom Spirit Clan people definitely couldn’t achieve this psionic level... They must be from another race..."
At this point, Yadun affirmed his previous guess; after all, based on their race’s current control power over psionic energy, someone like him who could give himself a shield is considered elite among elites, how could anyone apply psionic energy to this stage?
What’s more, Yadun had never heard of psionic energy being used in machinery.
The attack just now from the spaceship was indeed powered by psionic energy, with such colossal power no wonder it could destroy the entire insect swarm in one hit. Although the insect race’s defense measures aren’t weak, when mechanical devices hadn’t failed in some areas previously, he had piloted a spaceship to fight insects, but the damage wasn’t as ideal as imagined. After several attacks, these insects even evolved corresponding damage immunity systems, later making the spaceship’s firepower hard to harm them again, only the Spiritual Light Blade seemed to continually make them difficult to resist.
So now things start to make sense; if the five-colored lights just now were psionic damage, it is indeed normal for those insects to be extinguished with one stroke.
"But..."
Yadun suddenly fell into contemplation.
He found it hard to imagine what kind of race could utilize psionic energy to such a degree, and why they were here, why he had never heard of such existence before, what their intent was in saving them, is it for protection, or for some other reason...
In that instant, Yadun’s thoughts spun in his mind, involuntarily linking many things, his mood gradually recovered from the joy of being rescued and became restless.
"You needn’t worry; the extreme situations you imagined won’t happen, we are not here to harm you."
At this time, a calm and profound voice echoed in his ear, Yadun couldn’t help but suspend his mental thoughts, looking forward in surprise.
He saw, above him on the diagonal, several figures had somehow silently appeared, standing in the void, their entire bodies enveloped in glowing white light, looking down upon him, making it difficult to see their detailed forms.
An invisible immense pressure arose in Yadun’s heart, feeling now as if facing a blazing constant star, that terrifying aura gave him a sense of suffocation, as if he might dissolve under their radiance at any moment.
"Who is he... He can actually hear my inner thoughts... Just now was he the one who rescued us... What powerful oppression... How could... How could such a terrifying existence exist... That psionic wave, even if separated by such a distance, can be distinctly sensed... So strong... Could he be... a deity?"
Yadun’s face turned pale, feeling his body stiffen, right now only his brain could barely maintain thought, he already lost linguistic communication ability completely.
Zhang Xiaoman withdrew his mind probe, the immense pressure applied to them also faded, making Yadun immediately take a breath, recovering from the mental state just now almost collapsing under pressure.
"Sorry, for exploring your memories privately, in our initial contact with your race, I needed to understand you somewhat."
As his words fell, the light enveloping him also shifted, allowing the group of Phantom Spirit People below finally to see their appearance.
"Lead them, warrior; first, let your people settle down; they are already very tired."
Zhang Xiaoman’s seemingly flat words carried immense information for Yadun, leaving him momentarily at a loss of what to do, stunned there.
"Exploring memories... He could actually explore my memories... What kind of means is this... Could he truly be a deity? Does this universe really have deities...?"
Yadun’s heart tangled in chaos, but upon hearing the latter sentence from the other party, he still tried his best to suppress the waves within, responding:
"Thank you for your lifesaving kindness; we will forever remember your favor."
As he spoke, Yadun placed his right hand on his forehead, offering the highest etiquette of the Phantom Spirit Clan to the other party.
