Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 1154 1126: Feeding the Tree
Unknown to what extent the heavy kill bombs, traveling tens of thousands of kilometers per second, penetrated, the gigantic biological space mothership shuddered violently several times. The transparent spheres on its surface exploded in succession, and a large volume of slurry spewed from the penetrating holes and cracks on its body, resembling an overstuffed cream puff.
Relentlessly, the self-floating railgun nestled among the starlight cannon array continued its barrage, and the biological space mothership, in a "stiff" state, endured another round of shelling. Its surface incessantly emitted slurry, and even bulged with massive swelling.
The intense shockwaves ravaged its interior, shredding the flesh and blood, and a significant number of space biological combat weapons being nurtured and incubated were destroyed.
"This thing is done for! Hit it with an Element Annihilation Bomb across its midsection!"
At this moment, only Miyoshi Xuesen in the small ship cabin has the time to think about random thoughts and repeatedly comes up with harebrained ideas.
Just as he said, at this point, firing an Element Annihilation Bomb at the disoriented biological space mothership could potentially split it in half if aimed correctly.
"Such a big piece of flesh should be left for the 'Life Tree'."
Chen Fei is now craving the body of the biological space mothership, a great supplement indeed!
Not for him personally, but for the "Life Tree," which shares his existence. With the essence of the "Sagali" civilization in its grasp, it's naturally appropriate to leverage both Blue Star's industrial technology civilization and the "Sagali" biological technology — advancing simultaneously — providing Chen Fei the confidence to stand against "Sagali," without fear of Blue Star civilization holding him back.
The "Sagali" civilization, which devours life resources everywhere, being devoured in turn is completely justified.
"For the 'Life Tree,' alright!"
The barrier of the "Life Tree" hasn't yet covered the entire "Boundary Pearl" Life Space, and Monk is also intrigued by what extent this tree, which isn't really a tree, can achieve.
Such a large chunk of meat is naturally more beneficial.
Several super-hard alloys pierced through over ten kilometers of the biological space mothership's body, flying out from its tail, plunged into the cosmic void, their destination unknown.
The biological space mothership, having been gorgeously bombarded with a heap of heavy kill bombs, finally succumbed to the damage from the internal and external assaults, gradually lost life, its once active infrared thermal reaction cooled visibly, and the cold void ruthlessly saps away all heat and vitality.
"Start harvesting, Mr. Brown, please!"
Chen Fei breathed a sigh of relief, needing to clean up the remnants of the first battlefield before the second battlefield commences.
He needed to recover not only the remains of the biological space mothership and the monster carcasses floating in the void but also fragments of various combat units, restoring them as thoroughly as possible. The first battlefield, which commenced earliest, will be reserved as reinforcements for the second battlefield.
With just four biological space motherships, Chen Fei's combat group was already dealt such damage; the subsequent larger number of biological space motherships might incur even greater losses. Overconfidence at this moment could lead to defeat in the upcoming battles.
"Received, transmission starting!"
The next second, the S-Class Space Ability user accompanied the airship and everyone to the first battlefield where combat had just ceased.
The originally 14-kilometer-long biological space mothership had its head and tail completely obliterated. Although the interior was out of sight, judging from the heavily scarred exterior, it must be a miserable scene inside. The body length was directly reduced by 1 kilometer, practically measured at 13.1 kilometers. The vanished part was either scorched and vaporized by high-density energy beams or blasted apart by continuous armor-piercing internal explosions into meat debris scattering everywhere.
The other three biological space motherships, having taken more than one Element Annihilation Bomb, were left with only fragmented remnants; their bodies lost over half, leaving merely about one-third.
Battlefield variables are too vast, difficult to fully control. The biological space mothership cadavers aren't something Chen Fei can preserve simply by intent; only the last biological space flat ship was successfully retained mostly due to being broken defensively by concentrated fire.
Leveraging the immense spiritual power of the "Life Tree," the entire first battlefield was instantly enveloped, causing vast remnants of flesh and blood to disappear without a trace, leaving only some scattered technological artifacts. A recovery ship spanning 4,000 meters released a multitude of "Worker Bee-1" space robots, recovering them systematically, ultimately turning them over to Chen Fei for processing.
In the center above the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space, blood rain descended once more.
It seemed the "Life Tree" was prepared for this; its canopy gently swayed, with invisible forces held the descending remains of biological space motherships and others. The massive, heavy ship body slowly fell towards the canopy, just like the previous "Seed Nest," consumed entirely by the dense, lush foliage beneath the canopy, not a single drop of juice fell.
The lone wood forming the forest, the "Life Tree," emitted crackling sounds again, its trunk and branches reaching upward continuously, elevating the pyramid-shaped canopy higher and higher. Compared to the juice-filled "Seed Nest," the biological space mothership was a solid, substantial meatball, substantial in quantity and substantial nourishment. A 7-kilometer-long biological space mothership is equivalent to several 7-kilometer diameter "Seed Nests," making such abundant fertilization have nearly immediate effect on the "Life Tree's" growth.
Within just an hour, the "Life Tree" reached a height of 1600 meters, with a canopy diameter expanding to 10 kilometers, becoming an undisputed forest. The barrier enveloping the "Life Tree" extended to a diameter of 400 kilometers. Since the life-green couldn't keep pace with the barrier's rapid expansion, until now, close to the barrier's interior edge 100-plus kilometers range remained filled with rising cyan smoke, residual heat dissipating from the lava black soil, with searing magma beneath the surface brewing still — erupting occasionally through recently cooled crust, spraying a robust pillar of fire or steaming hot spring towards the sky.
Numerous seeds, spores, and buds were released from within the canopy, forming dense gray fog, drifting outward with airflow, occupying vast hot soil; microorganisms went first, followed closely by plants, insect types followed suit, small organisms arrived one after another, enriching the ecological chain within the barrier more and more.
After seemingly resting with eyes closed for quite some time, Chen Fei raised his gaze again, noticing Miyoshi Monk, Heseman Brown, and Dang Wei Jun curiously observing him.
Once he opened his eyes, Heseman Brown immediately asked, "All digested?"
Of course, it wasn't Chen Fei who digested; he had no such enormous appetite. The S-Class Space Ability user referred to the "Life Tree," collecting so many biological tissue remnants, naturally to foster the growth of this "tree."
The "Boundary Pearl" Life Space just formed not long ago, even with sufficient material collected, stabilizing it would require long periods; for a considerable time, both the environment and resources would not suffice for life survival.
However, the "Life Tree" obtained from "Seed Nest" McKenny undoubtedly accelerates this adaptation process; the more robust the "Life Tree," the easier for life to survive.
