Global Era of Star Trekking

Chapter 1709: Chapter 834: Confronting the Rakshasa

"Even though, even if I don’t agree, your Rashamon Clan absolutely has no chance of fully waging war against our Torch Human Civilization across a distance of tens of billions of light-years, this battle... I still accept it!"

...

The space was silent as two colossal warships faced off from afar.

Blood Skull Prince’s Ninth Rank Necromancer Ship took the initiative, with numerous blood-red fissures suddenly cracking open across its surface. Dense scarlet chains surged forth like venomous snakes, with each one entwined with the law of corrosion, even causing black fissures in the very fabric of space!

"Blood Erosion Chain·Ten Thousand Souls Strangulation!"

As a main battleship of the Overlord Rakshasa Clan, the Rakshasa Death Spirit Ship was naturally not an ordinary starship. They could align with the Rakshasa Clan’s bloodline divine abilities and integrate a small amount of Starry Sea Oddity, turning these capabilities into their own.

Right now, this [Blood Erosion Chain·Ten Thousand Souls Strangulation] was precisely one of them.

Song Chi’s eyes narrowed, not daring to be careless.

The Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong instantly activated the [Time Chess Board], with an enormous, seven-colored, illusory chessboard appearing overhead. The time flow of the entire star domain suddenly decelerated, and those attacking chains seemed to plunge into a quagmire, their speed plummeting.

"[Judgment Light]—Initiate Charge!"

The bow of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong split open, revealing a dark and sinister muzzle, as a faint white glow began to gather continuously.

"Don’t even think about it!"

Seemingly sensing the extreme threat brought by the [Judgment Light] immediately, Blood Skull Prince directly commanded the Necromancer Ship to rush forward, attempting to interrupt the [Judgment Light]’s charging.

However, the several-hundred-times time deceleration brought by the illusory [Time Chess Board] overhead forced him to only watch helplessly, too late to intervene.

"Boom——!!!"

Judgment Light erupted explosively, a platinum beam piercing through the void, disintegrating the blood-colored chains as it passed.

The purifying energy even forcibly closed the spatial rifts along its path, carving a dazzling light trace in the starry sky.

Blood Skull Prince’s pupils contracted sharply, and the extreme threat of death made him activate a life-saving trump card without hesitation.

The Ninth Rank Extreme Necromancer Ship suddenly twisted and deformed under hundreds of times slowed time, with the ship’s bow swiftly transforming into a ferocious giant mouth.

"Rakshasa Secret Technique·Light-devouring Blood Abyss!"

The giant mouth expanded suddenly, swallowing the entire Judgment Light.

However, it was clear that this was not without cost, as thunderous booms echoed from within the Necromancer Ship, with countless cracks instantly appearing across the ship’s surface, all serving as proof!

Although these various costs began to try rapid repairs through the infinite blood energy continuously emerging from the Necromancer Ship afterwards.

Despite this, an icy glint reflected in Song Chi’s eyes!

"Can you really swallow it?"

He raised his right hand lightly, and a ghostly glow appeared on the component of the [Black Hole Evolution Layer] beside him.

[Black Hole Evolution Layer]·"Black Hole·Singularity Sacrificial Explosion"

"Bang——!!!"

The swallowed Judgment Light exploded again inside the Necromancer Ship, causing the entire vessel to shake violently, with countless blood-colored fragments bursting from the ship’s body.

But astonishingly, despite this, the fragments quickly turned into a blood mist in the air, which was subsequently reabsorbed by the Necromancer Ship’s body.

"It’s useless, human."

Blood Skull Prince’s voice carried a tone of mockery.

"The Necromancer Ship is made up of countless souls of the dead. As long as the dead remain, the warship is indestructible!"

As his words fell, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong vanished into thin air, and when it reappeared, the warship had transformed into a black shadow, relentlessly charging towards the Rakshasa Death Spirit Ship.

"Is that so? Then I would like to see just how many souls are in your warship!"

Song Chi’s cold words echoed in the starry sky, and in the next second, a series of extreme impacts and explosive sounds erupted.

[Master’s Ivory Crash Horn]·"Giant Elephant King’s Fury""Giant Elephant Charge"

[Mixed Element Copper Mother Ram]·"Mixed Element Impact"

With an infinite momentum, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong collided fiercely with the Ninth Rank Necromancer Ship.

The Ninth Rank level sacrificial explosion produced an energy shock wave that instantly swept across the stellar battlefield.

Under this terrifying impact, the degree of fragmentation in the Ninth Rank Rakshasa Death Spirit Ship’s body grew more severe. Although repairs were still ongoing, compared to before, the speed of repair had significantly weakened.

And this was not the end, for after the ship’s bow had firmly embedded itself into the Rakshasa Death Spirit Ship, the outer hull of the ship began emitting a series of sharp sounds.

As Blood Skull Prince was at a loss, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong suddenly transformed from its conventional warship form into a small Neutron Star.

Sizzle, sizzle!

A terrifying high temperature of billions of degrees burst outward from the center of the small Neutron Star, and even with the extraordinary materials of the Rakshasa Death Spirit Ship’s body, it was difficult to withstand such an extreme temperature at close range. Visibly, the Necromancer Ship’s body rapidly melted.

"Woo-woo-woo!"

Amidst it all, vague screaming sounds echoed, accompanied by gusts of chilling wind—the remnants of the many souls of the dead being evaporated to nothing.

Inside the control room of the Rakshasa Death Spirit Ship, Blood Skull Prince’s eyes were blood-red, with violent glints swirling in them, but more prevalent were shock and disbelief.

He had thought of the possibility that he might end up in a draw with Song Chi or even lose, but he had never imagined that he would lose so quickly.

Sizzle, sizzle!

The sounds of evaporation and burning continued, with the Necromancer Ship’s body melting away over time.

Even after the extreme high temperatures on the surface of the Neutron Star receded, the Rakshasa Death Spirit Ship could no longer restore its original form.

Without the repair effects of the souls of the dead, the Rakshasa Death Spirit Ship had lost its self-repair ability. Though Blood Skull Prince was confident that he still had unused offensive cards, with almost no defensive power left, he had lost the courage to take any more action.

After all, if Song Chi were to attack again, the attack would likely truly land on him.

Compared to Star Sea Humans, the Rakshasa Clan may be physically stronger, but they were not renowned for their physique, so facing a full-powered shot from a Superdimensional Railgun or Star River Cannon head-on remained a deadly threat to them.

"You won, human!"

With a voice full of reluctance, Blood Skull Prince lowered his proud head.

In response, Song Chi also tacitly chose to recall the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

In the current situation, he indeed had the ability to directly eliminate the opponent, but he could not do so.

Blood Skull Prince held a fairly high position in the Rashamon Clan civilization. If he were to be slain without mercy on the spot, there was a certain chance of triggering a full-scale war between the Torch Human Civilization and the Rashamon Clan Civilization.

Even though the likelihood of this happening was extremely small, Song Chi did not want to take the risk.

Currently, the development strategy of the Torch Civilization was quite clear: to maintain a low profile and focus on growing the civility strength and depth until the [Heaven-Fighting Secret Realm] completely collapses.

Conquering the Corpse Emperor Clan River System Group was a move for a new surge in the Torch Civilization’s depth, as the Corpse Emperor Clan River System Group inherently lacked the power to genuinely threaten the Torch Civilization.

The Rashamon Clan Civilization, however, was different. As an Overlord Civilization renowned for over a million years, if they were truly to go to war with each other, even though it would likely result in a stalemate with neither side being able to directly obliterate or utterly defeat the other, reaching this point would inevitably impact the entire Torch Civilization.

The Torch Civilization at least still hopes for a second grand surge in depth, which would become impossible, and even during a standoff with the Rashamon Clan, the civilization’s own strength might even be diminished to a certain degree.

It was clear because Emperor Jiang and the other three reminded him repeatedly before the battle that Song Chi knew he had no choice.

Fortunately, Blood Skull Prince did not cause further trouble afterward. Seeing the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong cease its attack, he also refrained from making any harsh remarks and left without a word, leading the other six Necromancer Ships away.

With the Rashamon Clan’s interference removed, the subsequent battle encountered no further surprises.

Two Superdimensional Mother Ships, one Mechanical Battle Star, in addition to three Ninth Rank Starry Sky Beasts, took down the Skeleton Monarch and the Azure Sea Thunder Dragon Ship Remains one after the other.

After this battle, on at least their Fifth Battlefront, it became increasingly difficult for the Corpse Emperor Clan to organize any large-scale resistance.

In the subsequent hundreds of years, the Fifth Battlefront’s advancement went smoothly, with an average of fully occupying one river system every few decades.
