Chapter 1672: Chapter 650: Facing the Challenge

When witnessing the terrifying nature of this virus, Uh-Wei-Woo felt neither pride nor honor, only shock and fear.

Previously, Uh-Wei-Woo didn’t understand these things, because such matters shouldn’t be pondered by a low-level reproductive subunit like itself. Now, however, it fully realized that the Red Front Legion had seized upon the fatal flaw of the Sublimators.

Finally, four months later, Uh-Wei-Woo’s command flagship reappeared in the three-dimensional universe.

By this time, the vanguard forces bursting out from thirty-six different exits had fully spread out, weaving a large net in space, continuously shrinking the encirclement from the outside in.

A secret team, with its personnel composition known only to the Red Blade Marquis himself, was responsible for preliminary reconnaissance work.

At this moment, this team had thoroughly and clearly understood the relevant intel concerning the United Expeditionary Army.

Among all large individual units of the enemy, only two planet ships slightly larger than Source Star Large Moon retained full maneuverability.

These two planet ships must undoubtedly be the Intelligent Machinery of the Pilgrims, and the Spirit Demon Race were likely aboard these two planet ships as well.

The other nineteen Mother Empress Ships and hundred Starry Sky Giant Beasts had long ceased their accelerated advance, instead dispersing in the cosmos under inertia, with their speed continuously slowing down.

Yet the fastest-flying planet ships still could not escape the Red Front Legion’s encirclement.

And those sent to intercept these two planet ships were indeed the most elite Second and Eighth Army Groups under the Red Front Legion’s banner.

The weaponry arsenals of these two army groups were the most abundant. Many core members of the legion were veterans who had participated in resisting psychic interference during the Three Domains War. Xiao Xingyue’s successor was already in place. It seemed rather absurd; no one had expected that the strongest Telekinesis Master within the Red Front Legion, after Xiao Xingyue, would actually be a Furry Person.

This Furry Person was named Eva, Uh-Wei-Woo’s eldest daughter. After exhibiting sufficient talent, Eva was granted the right to be promoted, becoming a Longevity among the Furry People.

Not only did she inherit Xiao Xingyue’s skills, but like her father, Uh-Wei-Woo, she could combine the Strength of up to a million Furry People in one body to initiate that gigantic polyhedron lattice. In doing so, she wouldn’t perish under the massive energy impact, turning Xiao Xingyue’s once fatal strike into a routine weapon.

In addition, both army groups each carried twenty of Sun Ai’s auxiliary brains. Sun Ai would provide reliable computational support through the resonance between the main brain and auxiliary brains.

As the main ultrabrain of the Red Front Legion, as a semi-human semi-intelligent lifeform, Sun Ai planned to spar with the two Pilgrims predecessors.

The first battle to break out wasn’t the Red Front Legion’s siege of the Sublimators, but rather the encounter between the Second and Eighth Army Groups and the two Wise Men and two Divine Level Spirit Demons.

Ren Zhong piloted his Starry Sky Red Blade Armor into the tactical array of the Eighth Army Group, taking the lead in bearing the brunt of the attack tasks.

The cornered Intelligent Machinery displayed a group control skill far surpassing human War Artists, instantly decomposing their asteroid-sized gigantic bodies into tens of millions of small Flying Devices, swarming forward like a hive.

Each small Flying Device had its precise route of advance, and their micro-coordination was extremely subtle. Appearing chaotic, yet actually forming a perfect battle formation.

The small Flying Devices neither blocked the shooting routes of the Energy Weapons nor obstructed the flying real ammunition weapons serving as relay guidance and energy infusion. Their battle precision far exceeded the space biological army of the Sublimators.

Ren Zhong remained completely unperturbed.

Although he too possessed extremely strong multitasking abilities, he didn’t intend to attack their strengths with his weaknesses, but instead maintain the complete form of Starry Sky Red Blade Armor, transforming into a giant jet barrel in the sky, aiming forward to release a high-temperature shockwave of strong radiation beam type.

The Starry Sky Red Blade Armor transformed into a large Space flame thrower.

Where the flame thrower swept past, the Pilgrims’ small Flying Devices immediately became sluggish due to the high temperatures, yet astonishingly did not dissolve on the spot, maintaining relatively intact shapes while continuing to sprint forward.

As those who virtualize human brain consciousness, adopting the mechanical ascension school, the Pilgrims clearly had a natural advantage in metallic material science.

Furthermore, Ren Zhong could clearly sense that his control precision and strength over Starry Sky Red Blade Armor were continuously weakening, evidently due to interference technology initiated by the Wise Men to disrupt intelligent device operations.

Sure enough, Sun Ai sent a message into his mind, reminding: "Do not enter the consciousness upload state. Right now, the information flow surrounding you is filled with virus programs waiting to digitize your consciousness into the ultrabrain and assimilate your memories!"

Ren Zhong was greatly startled; this hacker method was simply unheard of.

Thus, he had no choice but to abandon his specialty, instead manipulating the gigantic Starry Sky Red Blade Armor in the most traditional manual mode, focusing the majority of his attention on kinetic real ammunition weapons, using the most conventional kinetic sniper electromagnetic gun to aim at the small Pilgrims’ Flying Devices drawing closer, conducting probing attacks.

His armor movements appeared somewhat sluggish, the hit rate very low.

Moreover, in Ren Zhong’s surrounding, the allied unmanned drones indeed gradually lost control as anticipated, evidently taken over by the Pilgrims.

Within the virtual network composed of information flow, the Intelligent Machinery from the Pilgrims was wreaking havoc on all sides.

This was not surprising.

Until now, most achievements in the ultrabrain and artificial intelligence field by the Mechanical Empire were nothing but scraps stolen from the Pilgrims.

It was essentially making a fool of oneself in front of the master whom one was imitating.

However, as a competent acting Marshal, with a sizeable and professional think tank, Uh-Wei-Woo had long anticipated this situation.

The seemingly rebellious Red Front Legion unmanned drones hadn’t loaded weapon systems at all; they were just moving live targets, their existence meaning to deplete the Wise Men’s computing power.

The true main battle force remained further behind Ren Zhong, led by the eighth-generation grandson of Yujin, a fleet specializing in kinetic shooting.

This fleet had long abandoned intelligent mode, switching all members to the most primitive manual stance, relying solely on information provided by optical equipment and radio radar for predictive strikes, completely unaffected.

While Ren Zhong was embroiled in hard battle, this shooting-specialized fleet opened full fire right in time, only to see one kinetic energy bullet after another, accelerated by ultra-long electromagnetic power channels to 0.5 times the speed of light, roaring through space, pouring towards the Pilgrims’ small Flying Devices, and then hitting, imploding, heavily damaging...

The exhilarating firepower coverage strikes immediately greatly reduced the pressure Ren Zhong faced.

Under the cover of friendly firepower, Ren Zhong continued forward effortlessly.

At that moment, he had a slight shake of mind, it was a familiar feeling, similar to when he first made close contact with Li Yang. It was a God-level devil!
