1217: Chapter 679, Brain Bug Tyrant Swarm 1217: Chapter 679, Brain Bug Tyrant Swarm In the Princess Star Domain shrouded in dense Subspace Shadow, Spiritual Energy isnât a particularly effective means.
Not to mention the suppressive effect of the Subspace Shadow on Spiritual Power, even in combat, Spiritual Energy isnât very effective.
In battling the Insect Race Fleet, the greatest use of Spiritual Energy is lost, as Gu Hang doesnât need to tear apart the Void Shields â they donât have any anyway.
Of course, Spiritual Energy can still do things in other areas.
But whether itâs simply using Spiritual Energy to form thunder and bombard ships, or using a Spiritual Ability Field to rip apart ships, the results arenât really ideal.
With Gu Hangâs abilities, he can indeed achieve something equivalent to the power of an X-level heavy artillery with Spiritual Energy, but itâs not very cost-effective.
Instead of expending so much effort, itâs better to fire a few more shots.
Moreover, he can also use Spiritual Energy to transport large numbers of troops directly into enemy ships through teleportation.
But against the Insect Nest Fleet, this move isnât very effective.
Unlike taking over human ships, the biological ships of the Insect Race clearly have no possibility or value for takeover.
Not taking over the ship, but only sending elites inside the enemy ship for destructive sabotageâŠ
itâs possible, but itâs a bit of a death mission.
Inside these biological ships, there are more or less some incubation organisms.
Their primary function is to differentiate and replenish in case of damage to the biological shipâto put it bluntly, they can be used to regenerate health.
But when necessary, they can also differentiate and produce some warrior bugs, or even advanced Insect Race, to resist invaders inside the biological ships.
This is a very effective method, and generally, in the Empireâs war history, boarding Insect Race ships doesnât end well.
Even if there are successes, they are not common, and each time itâs quite costly.
However, Spiritual Energy isnât very effective against the insects, but the insects find it quite effective to use Spiritual Energy against human ships.
When the Void Shields are torn apart, and the ships on both sides engaged in hard combat, who could outmatch the biological ships?
Moreover, the Insect Nest Fleet often comes with Subspace Shadow.
When the Insect Race wants to use Spiritual Energy, they relax the Subspace Shadow in the area; when they donât have the Spiritual Energy advantage, they cover it up with the Subspace Shadow, preventing humans or other races from using it.
This emphasizes an unfair advantage.
In this battle, the swarm possesses powerful Spiritual Power.
A full four âBrain Bug Tyrantsâ, or Neuron Progenies, are present.
These four Neuron Progenies are the strongest bodyguards provided by the Queen for this southbound support fleet.
So naturally, itâs impossible to cover the battlefield with Subspace Shadow again this time.
The four Neuron Progenies, in the naval battle, right at the start of the fight, attempt to tear apart the Void Shields of human ships.
The reason why the human fleet hasnât suffered such a misfortune is, of course, due to Gu Hangâs presence.
Gu Hang, coordinating all the members of the Storm Mage Corps, covered the four Neuron Progenies with Spiritual Power.
In an instant, the waves in Subspace were incredibly turbulent and dazzling.
The powerful demons, who often hide in the corresponding Subspace to observe during cruel wars in the real world, revel in the massive deaths and feast on the souls of the fallen, were now fleeing frantically.
Those who were slightly too slow were caught by the frantically surging Spiritual Power and torn to pieces.
Even an existence equivalent to a Great Demon that had originally slipped in quietly took one look at the situation and left directly.
One can imagine how terrifying the confrontation between Gu Hang and these four Neuron Progenies is.
A few years ago, Gu Hang wouldnât have been able to confront these four monsters.
Even now, itâs still a bit overwhelming.
Just thinking about it, back when the Alliance was against the Alfonso Sect, when Sage Dubo went south to the Proudclaw Cosmos, in that war against the Alliance, Gu Hang alone confronted a Neuron Progeny, breaking even, or at best gaining a slight advantage.
In the Spiritual Energy confrontation, he was somewhat evenly matched, but besides confronting the Neuron Progeny, Gu Hang had other abilities, like Spiritual Energy teleportation to send Interstellar Warriors into enemy ships; and also to tear apart the real curtain, deploying the Valor Spirit Legion from the Storm God Kingdom into enemy vessels.
Moreover, after winning that battle, Gu Hang even âateâ a Neuron Progeny.
For Gu Hangâs Storm God Kingdom, it was a significant enhancement, greatly boosting his Spiritual Power.
But even so, suddenly confronting four Neuron Progenies is still too much pressure for Gu Hang.
He has already maximized the projection of the Storm God Kingdomâs power to the real universe; the over twenty thousand psychics in the Storm Mage Corps are the result of Gu Hangâs long-term efforts.
Not only in numbers, even considering the clear war casualties, they have increased, and in terms of quality, members of the Storm Mage Corps have grown stronger.
Thatâs with Gu Hang investing a significant number of Gift Points.
He built Mage Academies, not only directly on the frontlines on certain planets, but even on ships, cultivating psychics at any time, and Gu Hang would select hundreds or thousands of promising âStorm Magesâ and enlighten them one by one on the [Hero] interface.
Those with potential to be enlightened as âheroesâ often see their Spiritual Energy level rise by a notch; very few have the potential for multiple enlightenments.
In all, Gu Hang has invested nearly tens of millions of Gift Points in the Mage Corps.
There are 13 Storm Mages, considered extraordinarily potential, who have been elevated by Gu Hang to Level 9.
Actually, Gu Hang himself, in terms of system level, is also Level 9.
Itâs just that Gu Hangâs Level 9 comes with too many templates, especially the numerous bonuses granted by the Storm God Kingdom, allowing him at Level 9 to achieve Alpha-class Psychic strength.
Once the Storm God Kingdom descends, itâs even more terrifying than Alpha-class.
However, these Level 9 psychics cultivated by Gu Hang generally donât have as many extra templates or traits as Gu Hang, nor do they have the power provided by the Storm God Kingdom.
Out of these 13 Level 9 mages, 12 have achieved A+ level Psychic strength.
The other one has even reached S-Class.
These 13 have been given the title of âGreat Mageâ, making them Gu Hangâs greatest support.
With their help, and the cooperation of another twenty thousand, only then does Gu Hang possess the ability to confront these four Neuron Progenies.
However, this confrontation carries significant pressure and is somewhat unsustainable.
The main reason is that under such immense Spiritual Energy confrontation pressure, occasionally, a Storm Mageâs head would explode and die, or theyâd bleed from their seven orifices, severely injured and dragged away.
As the number of Storm Mages decreases, the power Gu Hang can mobilize diminishes, and then the number of mage head explosions increasesâŠ
this is the beginning of a vicious cycle.
If not overturned, failure is imminent.
