"Taifei! Taifei!"
"Why isn't the Throne Angel responding to me?"
Ma Taifei screamed anxiously in the control room, followed by a tendril snaking through the passage, spreading in the direction of the sound.
The adjutant hurriedly pulled him into a frenzied run: "Director, the Throne Angel's intelligent mechanism module has been completely destroyed by Tai Sui!"
"What? My Taifei, how could it have died so quickly?" Ma Taifei was stunned.
The primary control system of his Sky Carrier was the Throne Angel!
If it corresponded to the Radiators, it was equivalent to the 'New God'.
As the name implies, a god of the new era.
One could say, the Throne Angel is the strongest war vehicle available to humanity, and it got wiped out by Tai Sui as if it were a walk in the park?
"No, it's not a complete failure yet. Tai Sui somehow killed the mind-control consciousness of the AI."
"But we can still operate manually! There are countless intelligent machine units within the carrier that can fight!"
"Director, Tai Sui itself is only Dragon Level, destroying the carrier is not that simple!"
The adjutant was steadfast, indicating there was still hope.
However, without the AI, when seeing countless tendrils emerging from the void and invading the cabins, accompanied by the indescribable din in his ears... Ma Taifei's mentality immediately collapsed.
All sorts of negative emotions were triggered, his mind filled with distractions, he even began to hallucinate.
The guy had never experienced a war; the external City States had been peaceful for a long time, the last warfare being when Cangyue destroyed the army.
And back then, he was young and not involved; he wasn't even in the Navy.
This Sky Carrier, the Taifei, was company property; calling it a war weapon was less accurate than calling it his ostentatious means of travel.
Originally, the escapees from Crime Prison Island were handled by the Navy, but the Holy Son Club decided to resolve it personally, so he volunteered to show off.
He thought that by surrounding Tai Sui this time, he could easily issue a few commands to obliterate Tai Sui.
Who would have thought, he ended up with his AI, the Angel, dead.
The battle quickly turned into a bloody melee.
"Whoosh!"
The adjutant delivered a crushing punch to break through the encroaching void tendrils.
He was a retired admiral with the power of a Quasi-Dragon King, easily smashing these void tendrils.
Yet, Ma Taifei shouted, "With Taifei gone, what am I fighting for?"
"All Angels, initiate Ultimate Protection!"
"Quick, escort me to safety!"
Ma Taifei still had family assets to inherit, even a 'divine position' to take over, he absolutely didn't want to die here.
However, at his command, all the nearby angel robots converged on him, blooming with an orange force field for protection.
Not only those nearby but even the intelligent machines from faraway cabins abandoned the other crew members and rushed over.
Because his command was 'All Angels, Ultimate Protection'.
This command had also been used by the Sin Prison Island Navy when facing the Seahorse's self-destruction.
All Angels would give their all to protect the highest commander, enabling James at that time to become the only surviving Navy member after a Seahorse self-destruct.
But coming in with such a command right away was too selfish.
Tai Sui hadn't even breached the carrier yet; this thing was unbelievably hard, with absurdly high protection.
Yet this move of Void Entanglement had already shattered the human will ahead of it.
Once the Ultimate Protection started, numerous intelligent machines disregarded their comrades being entangled or chased by tendrils around them, flying directly over the crowd to converge on the highest commander.
"Aaaah!"
"The Angels are here, great, quickly eliminate these tendrils."
"Eh? What? Why are they leaving?"
"Take me with you!"
"Aaaah!"
Purple tendrils stretched from all passages, pipes, and rooms, piercing them, entangling them, while the crew fought fiercely to the death.
But the Angels suddenly halted, uniformly turning in one direction and swiftly departing.
The crew members stood dumbfounded.
Whoosh, very soon, a large group of crew members were enveloped and impaled by the tendrils.
Even the Dragon Levels weren't exempt, after a brief struggle, they were ensnared and captured.
Most of them were retired Navy, battle-hardened, with decent combat skills.
Of course, their strengths were varied.
Because once they reached the 'limit of their own radiation type', serving another five years allowed them to apply for retirement.
Thus they were all True Tiger and True Elephant levels, with a rare few True Dragon experts.
Also, due to the retirement option, there were very few Quasi-King Navy members, as it wasn't so competitive.
Unlike Crime Prison Island, where the pressure to survive was immense, even reaching their limit, they had to find ways to grow stronger.
And for the Navy, even a Quasi-King was equivalent to T3, T2 of Crime Prison Island; take the former Kelder for instance, who thought he was strong.
Now, without joint combat from intelligent machinery, they were each exposed to the slaughter of 'Void Demon Vines'.
This move, an offshoot of the Void Splitting Slash, already had T0 level power.
Now with Demon Tree Dragon Transformation, this Void Entanglement had Divine Level might.
Of course, that's referring to the whole, the void tendrils in a single room or passage weren't that strong, merely Dragon Level in power.
If the Angel Battle Group collectively guarded, clearing the tendrils' invasion across cabins, it could have been withstood indefinitely.
But now, with only the crew of Radiators fighting alone, it was exceedingly difficult.
Especially these Demon Vines, they were endless, emerging and spreading out of thin air.
It seemed as if the Demon Tree had a continuous supply of back-up energy. Thinking about it, of course, the Demon Tree was stuck on the carrier, feeding...
"Director, why did you directly initiate Ultimate Protection! It wasn't the time for that!"
"Tai Sui can't break the carrier; we could have held on until help arrived."
"There's a Life Research Institute of the Navy nearby, where two New Gods are stationed..."
The adjutant gritted his teeth, he was a retired Navy officer, and the crew on board this carrier were once all men under his command.
He thought joining a giant enterprise's Security Supervision Department meant enjoying retirement, and it was indeed the case.
But he never expected one task to entirely ruin that.
This Ma Taifei, he simply didn't know how to fight a battle!
It doesn't matter if you can't fight, but with one command, having all the angels protect you alone, what's the point of that?
"Hmph! If I don't activate the ultimate protection, if something goes wrong, you'll all be buried with me! Isn't it the same?"
Ma Taifei's words immediately left the adjutant speechless.
"Moreover, I'm saving you as well! Even everyone who comes near me will be protected."
As Ma Taifei spoke, he found himself surrounded by thousands of Dragon Level angels.
They formed an array with precision like lightning, fully powering up the orange force field.
The Main Angel at the center, Power Angel holding a giant shield at the front, Energy Angel spreading a force field shield, with Authority Angels providing support and protection on the perimeter.
All the angels formed an enormous protective barrier, like a giant golden egg, guarding Ma Taifei tightly.
Any vine that appeared was immediately annihilated.
Ma Taifei walked through the cabin, with deep purple vines constantly attacking from all directions and being blasted away.
Even when vines sprouted from his body, the Main Angels around him would react instantly, pulling him aside, swiftly removing the vines, and healing him.
Ma Taifei seemed impervious to any evil, walking unfettered within the carrier.
The adjutant beside him was also under protection.
He sighed, knowing the situation was beyond salvage.
"Arrrgh!"
"Buzzing sounds!"
Screams echoed from other areas, incessant, as tens of thousands aboard the carrier were constantly being entangled and captured.
Once ensnared by the demon vines, it's nearly impossible to escape, as the energy permeates the cells, igniting a fiery blaze.
Those weaker Radiations perish quickly, their flesh and blood converging to form thrones.
The Dragon Level ones remain alive but serve like perpetual lamps, forging thrones and becoming the core of the blood and flesh engine.
The Demon Tree mercilessly used Silver Tower Energy, killing the Throne Angel's intelligent brain with thunderous means, a brilliant move.
This immediately lowered the 'baseline' of the Sky Carrier.
Though this war machine remained strong, the Demon Tree couldn't breach the outer shell in half a day, showing its robustness.
But that's ultimately irrelevant because the baseline for a large crew to operate is exceedingly low.
And against the Dark Logicist, a low baseline is tantamount to handing victory over.
He created chaos inside, so the carrier and battleships hung in the air, rendered as worthless iron, full of energy and powerful mechanisms but unable to resist.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat! Quickly get me back to Chaoge City!" Ma Taifei fled in panic.
Along his route, small thrones could often be seen by the roadside.
Their sinewy flesh burned with fierce flames, exuding a terrifying aura.
They further empowered the vines, greatly increasing their power output.
This place was no longer safe to linger as the number of small thrones increased, even the ultimate protection might fail against the vines.
The angels swiftly extracted Ma Taifei out of the carrier, rescuing a few unchecked Dragon Levels along the way.
A group of over ten people, alongside thousands of angels, reached the rear of the carrier.
Ma Taifei opened the passage, and countless purple high energy flowed in.
"Rumble!"
The Sword Light of Tai Sui slashed in, only the blade light visible, not the person.
Everything seemed to be swept by a whirlwind of sharp blades, roaring and ravaging.
"Hold them off! Hold them off!"
Seeing just one glimpse, hundreds of Authority Angels were blasted away, terrifying Ma Taifei.
Fortunately, the remaining angels were more than capable, rushing him out of the Sword Array Storm.
Turning back, they saw the sky and earth engulfed in darkness.
The Demon Tree rode atop the carrier, wantonly absorbing the high-energy within, even siphoning sunlight, casting an all-encompassing gloom.
Its geometrically expanded roots no longer only had nine blade lights, but a tenth, an eleventh, a twelfth… the roots successively lit up with brilliance, extending out blade light-like branches.
In the end, every branch on its body sprouted skyward blade lights, shining like a galactic giant tree.
From all directions, a wind of blades tore through, forming a storm genuinely composed of thousands of blade shadows!
"Splat!"
An unguarded Dragon Level got suddenly sliced, their flesh and blood shredded into the storm.
Panic-stricken, everyone huddled back-to-back, cowering within the Angel Guard's immense light shield, afraid to venture out.
The storm was vast, as if the Demon Tree's energy was inexhaustible… reality confirmed this; it embraced the carrier after all…
In an instant, Ma Taifei was panicked, all of them trapped in the gigantic… eye of the blade light storm.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
The Demon Tree's main body, each blade light branch, attacked with a thousand strikes, slicing the enormous carrier.
High energy wantonly released, smelting the surface's shell into metallic steam or molten flow, then devoured entirely.
The Demon Tree was actually devouring the carrier!
Moreover, they found its cells undergoing metamorphosis, already developing into a Sub-dragon.
This elevated its Devil Worship High Energy to 5% per second output power, and biological field intensity further increased, hastening its consumption of the carrier.
"Tai Sui continues to break through!" The adjutant and other Dragon Level experts were shocked.
Facing the Demon Tree directly now, coupled with near-total annihilation, abandoning the carrier, fleeing wretchedly, their spirits were heavily overwhelmed.
Finally, like Ma Taifei, they started hallucinating.
Nameless monstrosities magnified rapidly in their minds, exaggeratedly interpreted.
Under the dark sky, the Tai Sui Demon Tree appeared immensely vast, towering to the skies, its roots plunging into the deep sea.
Reaching skyward and coastal, casting a chilling shadow, smelting an entire carrier fleet.
In their eyes, the carrier seemed to mutate into some sort of biomass, sprouting purple vegetation.
Who could have imagined that this monster was once a person?
"Inhuman! This is an Evil God! Tai Sui Evil God!" Ma Taifei shrieked, flailing and gesticulating.
"Rumble!"
The Sky Carrier finally snapped, breaking into several sections, the other warships twisted into intestines, dreadfully smoking.
In the heavens, fierce winds swept, blazing flames reflected, ocean currents surged skyward, steam whirled, roots intertwined, metal shattered, and demon blade gales roared.
The Demon Tree, fleet, sky, sea, lava, formed a terrifying tableau.
