296: Chapter 296 This is practically a cataclysmic disaster!

Crackle... Sizzle... Boom!

In the cold, deep vacuum of space, what should have been a suspense-less, one-sided dimensional slaughter had now evolved into an absurd farce that would give any advanced interstellar civilization nightmares.

"These carbon-based bugs... just what kind of monsters are they made of?! Why does our [Sub-dimensional Decomposition Ray] only cause minor surface injuries when it hits them?!"

On the deck of a three-thousand-meter-long Star God Race cruiser, an Star God Race captain—dressed in ornate, bright silver individual power armor and standing at a high level of Lv. 105—was swinging the high-frequency beam sword in his hand, hacking like a madman at the Earth Players lunging toward him.

Splat!

The beam sword sliced through an Earth player with the ID [Ace Mechanic · Zhao Si] from the waist without resistance. Dark gold blood sprayed into the vacuum, instantly frozen by the extreme cold.

"Phew... finally, one is dead." The Star God Race captain breathed a small sigh of relief and was about to command his subordinates to clear the deck.

However, even as the upper half of that Earth player who had been cut in half floated in space, his hands were death-gripping the captain's leg! Not only did he not let out a single death rattle, but on his face—pale from cosmic radiation—was an extremely twisted, even fanatical smile!

"Holy crap! Brothers! The damage detection of this mob is so freaking realistic! My [Star-Forged Divine Body] has defense higher than Lv. 80, yet my guard was broken in one hit! The pain feedback is incredible!"

Zhao Si shouted at the top of his lungs in the public channel while spitting blood:

"Quick, quick, quick! That glowing sword in this blonde bird-man's hand is definitely a god-tier item! I've already used [Advanced Binding Technique] to grab his leg; the control duration is only three seconds! I'm about to force-disconnect and do a corpse run, Berserkers of the Second Battalion, get in here! Rip his arms off for me!!!"

"Copy that! Safe travels, Brother Si! The guild will reimburse your mental distress fees!"

Accompanied by a loud shout in the public channel, and under the captain's horrified gaze, hundreds of Earth Players—bodies glowing with dark gold light and wielding mining picks, wrenches, and even self-made Magic-powered Chainsaws—swarmed out from the ventilation ducts at the bottom of the warship like a pack of zombies smelling blood, lunging at him frantically!

"No... don't come over here! Get away! You filthy natives!"

The captain tried to retreat in terror, but he found to his horror that the hands of the Earthling with only half a body were welded to his armor like iron pincers. Even as the man dissipated into blue light particles, the "Binding" rule determined by the system still left him unable to move for a brief 0.5 seconds!

That 0.5 seconds decided life and death.

Clang clang clang clang clang!

Hundreds of mining picks and chainsaws slammed onto his bright silver armor, which was strong enough to withstand meteor impacts. Although each hit could only chip away a sliver of health, it couldn't withstand the simultaneous attacks of hundreds! Under the "1% Forced Defense Break" base rule granted to players by the [Heaven-Reaching Divine Domain], this Lv. 105 high-ranking Star God Race officer was actually "disassembled" into a pile of minced meat by a group of Earth Players under Lv. 80 using the most primitive physical means!

"Hahaha! It dropped, it dropped! A Lv. 100 beam sword! And a spatial ring! We're rich, brothers!"

The player who snatched the beam sword laughed excitedly toward the sky, then turned to look at the massive cruiser:

"Brothers, this ship's deck is pure gold, right? Strip it! Don't leave even a single screw for these aliens!"

Similar scenes, both tragic and absurd, were playing out frantically in every corner of the hundred thousand Star God Race golden warships.

The [Star-Forged Divine Body · Mass-Produced Enchantment Card] Chen Xi had given them was a scaled-down, mass-produced version, but it still granted Earth Players the ability to survive in a vacuum and physical defense comparable to seventh-rank ferocious beasts. Combined with the fourth calamity mechanism of "death only costs mental power, respawn in two hours," which completely defied the cosmic law of conservation of energy, the Earthlings had utterly abandoned all tactical finesse and played the purest game of "ants swarming an elephant."

The warships' main cannons? No fear! Tens of thousands of people lined up in a row, using human shields to block the barrels, then detonated the magic cores inside their bodies, causing the main cannons to backfire and explode!

Energy shields? No fear! Life-profession Array Masters and Enchanters clung to the surface of the shields, frantically carving "Reverse Interference Runes," using sheer numbers to drain the energy reserves of the high-maintenance shields!

In less than half an hour, the once-glittering, invincible fleet of the Star God Race that had awed the galaxy was now riddled with holes and in a wretched state, torn apart by tens of millions of Earth Players. Some warships even had their engines dug out, spinning in the void like giant space coffins.

On the other side of the battlefield, the four top combatants of the Nirvana Battle Team became the absolute main force of this interstellar slaughter.

"[Time Reversal: Ring of Time Deprivation]!"

Li Murou sat cross-legged in the void, the music from her SS-grade [harp of time reversal] turning into golden ripples. Any Star God Race mecha unit attempting to rush out from the warships for support not only saw their movements slow down as if in slow motion the moment they touched the ripples, but even the energy cores inside their mechas rapidly withered in the reversal of time, eventually turning into piles of scrap metal.

"[Myriad Spirit Divine Seal: Starry Beast Tide]!"

Ye Fei demonstrated the terror of the [Divine Maiden of Ten Thousand Spirits] to the fullest. She not only controlled the mechanical beasts seized from the Orion pirates earlier but even used the pressure of the Divine Seal to forcibly cut off the control of the "Silicon-based Biological Brains" used for auxiliary calculations inside the Star God Race warships! The internal defense systems of thousands of warships instantly defected, beginning an indiscriminate laser barrage against the Star God Race soldiers!

"A bunch of tin cans who don't even understand life and death dare to act wildly on my Earth!"

Su Xiaoxiao transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-long purple-silver lightning storm. Every time the [Void Thunder Punishment: God-Slaying Spear] was thrown, it would inevitably pierce through a commander-class golden battleship, electrocuting the Star God Race high-ranking officials inside into charred remains.

"Commander! We can't hold them back! These Earthlings simply can't be killed off! They were just vaporized by our main cannons, but in less than two hours, they've rushed out from that damned space fortress again, full of life! Our mental power scanners show that their soul frequencies are exactly the same! This is simply an Undead Scourge!!!"
