288: Both sides suffer

Thousands of Purifier rays no longer scattered, but converged into a golden torrent powerful enough to purify gods and demons, tearing through the atmosphere, surging upwards, and blasting towards the biological fleet in the sky!

"Bio-field shield, maximum power! Hold them off!" Star Lord let out a hysterical roar.

On the surface of the dark red biological fleet, a viscous shield composed of high-concentration bio-energy rapidly expanded and thickened, like a giant, blood-colored amber.

Boom!!!!

The golden Purifier torrent and the dark red bio-shield collided with a thunderous crash in mid-air!

Order and chaos, purification and corrosion!

Two diametrically opposed supreme powers formed a clear, yet fiercely clashing, death dividing line in the center of the battlefield.

The sky was split in two, half a sacred golden heaven, half a defiled blood-colored Hell.

The stalemate only lasted a few short seconds.

The immense size of the biological fleet and the nearly infinite life energy of the Mother Empress allowed them to gain a slight advantage in a direct energy clash!

The dark red shield began to press down like the gaping maw of a giant beast, slowly forcing back and devouring the golden Purifier torrent!

However, the Gravekeeper's art of war was far from so monotonous.

Just as both sides' energies were locked in a standoff, entering a tug-of-war, the energy blade claws on the arms of some Purifier robots on the ground suddenly began to change, contracting, deforming, and reorganizing, transforming into a terrifyingly large-caliber energy heavy cannon in just one second!

These heavy cannon units did not participate in the frontal clash, but instead raised their muzzles high.

Arbiter 07's auxiliary AI instantly calculated tens of thousands of perfect parabolic trajectories, locking onto the rear of the biological fleet's formation.

The next second, special energy shells, each encased in a silver spatial stabilization anchor, arced in bizarre trajectories, bypassed the frontal energy battlefield, and accurately struck the smaller support vessels!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Although the shields of the hit biological warships could withstand the force of the explosion, the spatial stabilization anchors contained within the shells acted like nails driven into a wall, forcibly solidifying the space around them!

These warships were instantly immobilized, like flies pinned in amber, becoming completely exposed targets!

"Damn it! Tactical deception!" Star Lord instantly understood the enemy's intention.

"All units, release the Hive Hunters! Rip apart their ground formation! Prioritize taking out those artillery units!"

From the belly of the biological fleet, countless incubation sacs burst open, and thousands of bio-weapons, a Fusion of bat and mantis genes, let out ear-piercing shrieks, diving towards the ground heavy cannon units like a black rain of death!

On the ground, the Purifier Legion's response was lightning-fast.

The energy blade claws of the front-line melee units instantly extended, transforming into dozens of meters long golden whip-shadows, meeting the sky like blades cutting water, exploding countless Hunters in mid-air!

Countless deadly attacks frantically intertwined on the battlefield, and the aftershocks of the battle, like uncontrolled ripples, repeatedly impacted the already unstable energy spring.

Finally, after another violent clash that distorted space itself, quantitative change led to qualitative change.

The internal geological structure of the energy spring completely lost balance!

Boom!!!!

An energy storm erupted from deep underground, soaring into the sky!

It was no longer pure energy, but the most primitive storm of destruction, mixed with countless spatial fragments and chaotic Law turbulence!

The storm, centered on the energy spring, bloomed and swept outwards like a lotus of death, instantly engulfing half a continent!

Both the arrogant biological fleet in the sky and the disciplined Purifier Legion on the ground appeared incredibly tiny before this world-creating power, capable of tearing apart stars.

Countless biological warships were torn to shreds like toys by the storm, and countless Purifier robots were sucked into randomly generated spatial rifts, disappearing completely without even a data stream being sent back.

"Retreat! All units, retreat immediately!"

"Mission aborted, all units, recall, regroup."

Arbiter 07 also issued cold commands.

Both sides paid a heavy price for their recklessness and greed.

The surviving biological fleet, dragging their broken bodies, fled embarrassingly towards the sky.

And the Purifier Legion on the ground, after recalling all operational units, once again broke into scattered groups and silently retreated into the shadows.

The energy spring, once considered a prize within reach by both sides, had now become an ever-expanding vortex of death.

What they didn't know was that tens of thousands of kilometers away from the battlefield, on a cliff, Charon, Black Widow, and Shui Gu were watching the soaring energy storm in the distance like a grand fireworks display.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a lively fight," Black Widow said, leaning on Shui Gu's rock-like shoulder. "Both sides have pretty much shown their trump cards."

"One side is a standardized legion blessed by the Law of order, strictly disciplined, skilled in positional warfare and energy suppression."

Charon calmly analyzed, "The other side is bizarre bio-technology, fearless of death, vast in number, with terrifying adaptability and explosive power."

"Both are strong, but both also have fatal weaknesses."

"What about us?" Black Widow asked. "Do we continue to watch the show, or do we pick up some scraps? Like, capture one of those tin cans for research?"

Charon didn't answer, instead pulling out the brass coin again and tossing it lightly.

The coin tumbled in the air, finally landing on the back of his hand.

This time it was tails.

The image was of an empty throne.

While Star Lord and the Gravekeeper's army battled each other to a draw over the energy spring, ultimately being forced to retreat by the out-of-control energy storm, Su Lei, one of the instigators, and his Federal Fleet were quietly lying dormant in the automated shipyard named the Nest of Creation.

On the bridge of the flagship Ice Phoenix, a giant holographic star map was broadcasting the destructive conflict in the distance in real-time.

The ferocity of the biological fleet, the coldness of the Purifier Legion, and finally the energy storm, like a wound in the Universe, were clearly presented before every Federal high-ranking official, causing them waves of trepidation.

"Governor!" Li Xue凝 looked at the continent being continuously devoured by the energy storm, her beautiful eyes filled with solemnity. "They've both been severely wounded, should we make our move now? This might be the best time to weaken them!"

All the officers on the bridge turned their gaze to the figure who always stood with his hands behind his back.

However, Su Lei only looked at the star map and slowly shook his head.

"No."

"It's not time yet."

Su Lei's voice remained calm: "Our goal has never been to eliminate any one of them."

"They are merely pieces on the chessboard, and what we want is to win the entire game."
