122: This is the Dragon Soul Barrier! Absolute defense, shocking the entire crowd!

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was like an ice-cold blade, piercing through the static of the communication signal and accurately stabbing into the eardrums of everyone on the Black Sail Fleet's Bridge.

The smile on Black Shark's face solidified inch by inch.

His ferocious single eye stared intently at the woman's face in the holographic projection, and the scar beneath his eye twitched and distorted due to violent muscle spasms.

Inside the Bridge, there was a deathly silence.

A crew member responsible for weapon targeting froze with his finger on the control panel, forgetting the next command.

The adjutant beside him unconsciously opened his mouth, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down with difficulty, but he couldn't squeeze out a single sound.

They had run rampant in this chaotic starfield for so many years, seen those who begged for mercy, those who cursed, and those who faced death without fear.

But they had never seen any prey dare to use such a contemptuous gaze and utter such disdainful words, as if looking at trash.

"What the hell did you just say?!"

Black Shark's chest heaved violently, every word squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying a strong scent of blood.

"I said," Gu Zhixia's smile became cruel and bloodthirsty.

She extended her slender index finger towards the face in the screen, distorted by extreme rage, and gently drew a line across her own fair neck.

"Wash your neck and wait to die."

The moment her words fell.

Lin Mo had already raised his hand expressionlessly, his fingertip swiping across the screen.

The communication was unilaterally cut off.

The cold, beautiful face in the holographic projection, bearing the weight of judgment, abruptly vanished.

The entire Bridge of the Black Shark fell into absolute silence.

A full five seconds passed.

"Aaaahhhhhh—!!!"

Black Shark slammed his fist onto the hard command console in front of him, and a clear fist print instantly dented the alloy surface!

He let out a dying beast's roar, his ferocious face turning a purplish-red!

"Fire!"

"Fire at will!!!"

He pointed at the black warship still quietly suspended in the distance, roaring with all his might.

"That ship! That woman who doesn't know her place! Blast them all to pieces!!!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

His out-of-control roar was the command for a full assault.

The muzzles of hundreds of Black Sail warships lit up with dazzling crimson light simultaneously.

Thousands of high-energy beams and tens of thousands of physical shells, laden with kinetic energy and flames, instantly erupted from their barrels.

Beams and shells intertwined, forming an overwhelming death barrage, capable of instantly wiping an entire island off the map, raining down furiously upon the Natural Selection.

The destructive power of it made the raging lightning within the Wall of Storms seem dim in comparison.

However, facing this saturation attack, enough to drive any fleet to despair, the Bridge of the Natural Selection remained calm, as if admiring a grand fireworks display.

"Four Symbols Barrier, Dragon Form."

Lin Mo's voice was unperturbed, as if he were merely changing a background music track.

Hum—!

A massive energy shield, composed of pure, solidified gilded light, instantly unfolded across the hull of the Natural Selection.

Above the shield, light and shadow flowed, even revealing a lifelike, ferocious dragon head formed of light and shadow.

The dragon head looked up at the sky, letting out a silent roar.

The next second, the world-shattering barrage arrived.

Deafening explosions continuously erupted across the shield's surface.

Scorching energy streams and shattered shrapnel formed a destructive storm that swept across the sky.

However, the seemingly impregnable attack, falling upon the gilded Dragon Soul Barrier, failed to even stir the most basic ripple.

All attacks were effortlessly absorbed and dissipated into nothingness by that shield, which exuded a sense of absolute power.

Inside the Bridge of the Black Shark, everyone's roars and sneers froze on their faces.

Black Shark's single eye bulged almost out of its socket.

He stared intently at the black warship on the screen, completely unharmed amidst the cannon fire, his mouth wide enough to fit a fist.

"What... what the hell is this thing?!"

"Now, it's our turn."

Inside the Bridge of the Natural Selection, Gu Zhixia's voice was cold, filled with unrelenting killing intent.

The blood in her veins was already boiling from this long-awaited battle.

"Lin Mo, let me out!"

"Go."

Lin Mo nodded, his gaze sweeping across the tactical screen.

"Those thirty frigates on the left flank are yours."

"Hmph, thirty frigates?"

The corners of Gu Zhixia's mouth curved into a smirk, one belonging to a top ace, filled with absolute confidence and arrogance.

"Five minutes is enough."

Before her words finished, she had already turned, her long, straight legs striding purposefully towards the Gods Workshop.

TheDome of the ship's factory silently slid open.

A pure blue stream of light, faster than lightning, burst forth from the Natural Selection.

It was the thunder dragon mecha!

After repair and optimization in the Gods Workshop, the thunder dragon mecha's surface was now covered with a faint, pulsating energy glow, like breath, exuding a beauty of power.

"Is that... the dragon-shaped specialized mecha they mentioned in the previous intelligence?"

Black Shark watched the blue mecha, which moved with such agility amidst the barrage that it hardly resembled a weapon of war, a hint of solemnity flashing in his single eye.

"Order the left flank fleet to concentrate fire! Shoot it down!"

However, it was already too late.

Gu Zhixia's speed was beyond their imagination.

Under her control, the thunder dragon mecha transformed into a blue electric flash streaking across the battlefield, pulling out strange Z-shaped trajectories through the denseArtillery Network at incredible angles and speeds.

Countless tracking beams and shells could only futilely chase her afterimages, exploding into useless bursts of fire behind her.

"Lock on! Damn it, lock on to it!" The commander of the left flank fleet shrieked hysterically over the comms.

But their fire control radar simply couldn't capture that ghost-like figure.

Occasionally, a few precisely predicted shells seemed about to hit.

Yet, Gu Zhixia didn't even bother to dodge.

"Clang! Clang! Bang!"

The crisp sound of metal colliding even drowned out the roar of explosions.

The high-frequency vibrating particle spear in her hand was wielded into an impenetrable blue halo of light.

The dazzling spear work precisely blocked and deflected every stray shell.

Those shells, capable of piercing armor, were as fragile as stones thrown by a child in front of her.

Gu Zhixia, having passed through the death barrage, showed no pause. The mecha's thrusters spewed dazzling blue flames, and with an elegant yet deadly aerial spin, she had already charged towards the nearest Black Sail frigate!

"Annihilation formation! Seal off its movement with a curtain of fire!" The commander of the left flank fleet shrieked hoarsely.

Over a dozen frigates began to tighten their encirclement, their crisscrossing firepower instantly sealing off every possible angle for the thunder dragon mecha to break through.

"Naive."

Gu Zhixia's cold sneer echoed in the mecha's communication channel.

Facing that impenetrable net of death, instead of retreating, she plunged right into it!

The next second, an unbelievable scene occurred.

The tip of the high-frequency vibrating particle spear in her hand lit up with an extremely dazzling electric light!

Hum—!

The spear suddenly thrust forward, at an incredible angle, precisely and accurately "prying" directly onto the belly armor of a frigate!

It wasn't a stab, nor a slash.

It was a pry!

As if an peerless martial arts grandmaster were using a long spear to lift a thousand-pound boulder!

"Thunder Dragon Pry!"

Accompanied by her cold, low shout, the thunder dragon mecha's engine power instantly overloaded, and an indescribably terrifying immense force erupted through the spear shaft!

That steel warship, displacing thousands of tons, was actually pried up from the sea surface by her in a manner that defied all laws of physics!

It arced through the air like a piece of trash casually discarded!

"Boom!!!"

The pried-up warship slammed heavily onto another allied warship attempting to fire!

Two massive steel monsters collided violently in mid-air!

Armor twisted, structures disintegrated, and intense explosions of fire shot skyward, illuminating the surrounding sea surface with a ghastly white light!

This was just the beginning.

Gu Zhixia, who had pried a warship into the air with one spear, showed no pause in her movement. Amidst the explosion's flames, she transformed into an even more agile blue phantom, rushing towards her next target.

"Annihilation formation?"

"In the face of absolute power and skill,"

"They are nothing but lambs to the slaughter."
