At this time, the two sides were getting closer to each other. The spectators in the Major League Sports Center were shocked to find that the enemy outnumbered them by at least ten times.
What was even more frightening was that some of the behemoths were as large as a Commander-class warship.
What kind of terrifying creature was this?
The encirclement was complete, and a full-scale battle erupted.
Fighter jets flew out of the battleships one after another. Mech armies that specialized in space combat also appeared, and a full-scale battle unfolded.
These behemoths had thick skin and strong defenses. Although their attacks were not as good as their defenses, their large numbers gave them a great advantage.
What was even more frightening was that when they destroyed some of the battleships or fighter jets, they swallowed the metal, treating them as food.
In the distance, the other two purple-red planets seemed to have reacted as well. Large patches of purple-red light shot out, covering the area. Coupled with the constant reinforcements from the central planet, the number of these terrifying behemoths was incalculable.
Within the range of vision, the black of the universe could no longer be seen, only endless purple-red light.
Battleships exploded one after another. Even if they were damaged, they could not escape the fate of being swallowed by the behemoths. The main cannons of the motherships fired once again, finally wiping out a large group of behemoths. However, the gap was quickly filled by an even larger sea of behemoths.
The image stopped there, and the light in the sky froze.
The entire Major League Sports Center was suddenly filled with the sound of heavy breathing that had never been heard before.
Of course, this was not the breathing of one person, but the breathing of tens of thousands of spectators.
And this kind of breathing appeared throughout the entire human world.
The participating Adepts all had solemn expressions. Even Lan Jue, who already knew a little about the situation, had a look of shock in her eyes.
The Northern Alliance was the strongest of the three Major League, but it only had about ten or so space fleets.
To the humans, a space fleet could even conquer an entire galaxy.
Powerful combat power, long-distance navigation ability, and the ability to absorb energy from the universe, they were all powerful.
There was even a saying that the human space fleets were invincible in the entire universe.
However, the scene that had just appeared showed them that …
Humans were too arrogant.
The terror of those three purplish-red planets had already far exceeded human understanding. A space fleet had practically been swallowed by them before they could even cause a ripple.
What they could do was nothing more than bring back these images compared to the exploration fleets that were responsible for the previous exploration.
Judging from the terrifying combat power displayed by the three purple-red planets just now, not to mention one space fleet, even ten space fleets would only be able to fill the gaps between the opponent's teeth.
Moreover.
This is what I saw.
It was very likely that this was just the tip of the iceberg.
Those three purplish-red planets were simply too terrifying.
It was still unclear what kind of terrifying combat power they could display.
The unknown was naturally more terrifying, but there was only so much information that a space fleet could gather. Who else could they count on to gather more information?
The Terminator's voice rang out once more. His tone was the same as before, but in the ears of the audience, it seemed to have deepened.
"Everything you see is real.
Seventh Fleet.
He died a heroic death for his country.
These images were brought back by them before they died for their country.
The facts tell us.
Not far from us, those unfriendly neighbors possess an extremely powerful force. "
"According to our previous investigations, those three planets are like living beings. They travel through space at the speed of a Bastion ship.
And they're coming our way.
Based on their current speed, it will take them at least a year to three years at most before they appear in the galaxy we rule. "
"According to the information from the Eastern Alliance, those purple beasts are experts in devouring life force to strengthen themselves. They also use it to evolve.
From our experience fighting them, we can see that they don't just devour life force, they don't even spare metal.
In other words, they'll devour anything with energy, and that energy will become their capital for evolution.
They're a race full of predatory tendencies. We can't afford to let our luck get the better of us. "
"If they enter the human world, then we'll face destruction.
So, taking advantage of this opportunity for the entire human race to witness this, I must announce to everyone that humanity is in a state of emergency.
From now on, we must muster all our forces and prepare for the arrival of these aliens. We must use our greatest power to face them and destroy them.
Only by doing this can we allow us humans to continue to reproduce and continue to live in the universe. "
The Terminator's words caused everyone to fall into deep thought. The scene before them was terrifying.
An entire fleet, more than a hundred thousand people, gone just like that.
Prior to this, all information was kept under wraps. Not even their families knew what had happened.
Following the Terminator's announcement, countless Northern Alliance families wept for their loved ones.
All sorts of compensatory work began to unfold.
The lights in the sky of the Major League Sports Center disappeared, and the lights came back on.
However, the excitement that the audience felt from witnessing a battle between two powerhouses had completely disappeared. All that was left was a deep sense of worry and depression.
It took a few minutes for Mo Xiao's voice to break the silence.
"The tournament has come to an end. Now, let us invite the leaders of the Northern Alliance to present the prizes to the top four competitors."
The award ceremony that everyone had been waiting for had finally arrived. However, no one was excited at the moment.
The awards ceremony was held in a depressing atmosphere.
The basic prize for entering the top four was an s-ranked power gem.
There were no third or fourth place competitors, so the Pharmacist and Xuanyuan Shishi received the same prize. Both received an s-ranked power gem, one of the more common ones.
Then came the second place prize.
Jun Yongye and Lan Jue stood side by side. They looked as ragged as ever, and there was no time for them to change their clothes.
The tournament had two goals. The first was to motivate the Adepts to train. The second was to announce that humanity was in a state of emergency.
Now that both goals had been achieved, the final prize ceremony was to fulfill the promise of the Northern Alliance. There was no need for a grand celebration.
The Epochrion brought a tray to Jun Yongye. It was covered with a red cloth.
It looked like a box.
"Open it.
Congratulations! "The Epochrion's voice was like a young girl's, but it was devoid of emotion.
Jun Yongye lifted the cloth to reveal a crystal box. Inside was a fist-sized power gem that glowed with a faint light.
It was polished to the shape of a round diamond, and glowed with a dark golden light. Because of the box, the gem's aura couldn't be felt.
However, its appearance immediately attracted the attention of all the ability users present.
Lan Jue was at Jun Yongye's side, so he could see it clearly. He sucked in a breath, impressed by the Northern Alliance's generosity.
He was originally in the energy gem business, so he was naturally very familiar with energy gems.
Jun Yongye's reward was an s-ranked power gem, and one of the rarest at that.
This energy gem was called the Emperor. That's right, it was called the Emperor Gem!
The reason why it had such a name was because of its powerful characteristics.
The Emperor Gem didn't contain large amounts of energy, nor did it have the ability to absorb it. But it did have a special property.
It made all power gems submit to it.
Not all energy gems were safe. There were many uncertainties when mining and using energy gems.
They contained violent energy, and some contained terrifying radiation that could harm the human body or even metal.
There was a saying in the world of power gems: the more powerful the gem, the more dangerous it was.
Of course, there were exceptions.
Lan Jue's Phylactery Stone, for example. It absorbed energy from the outside world, but its property was tolerance.
The Tear of the Sea God, for example. It could filter out all impurities, and purify other power gems.
But that was just the tip of the iceberg. Most power gems had uncertainties, or were dangerous.
In order to mine, use, or use these energy gems as energy cores to power mechas or battleships, special methods were needed to avoid the problem.
However, if there was an Emperor Gem, then all the problems would no longer be a problem.
The function of the Emperor Gem was that it could make all other energy gems become peaceful in front of it, causing all their negative effects to disappear, and all their radiation to be contained within.
Of all known power gems, none had ever been able to break free from the Emperor Gem.
That was the use of an s-ranked power gem.
Don't underestimate it.
Simply put, the core of a battleship was made up of a variety of power gems. Power gems were small, but could absorb large amounts of energy. Using them to power a battleship core would save energy and space, and also provide explosive power and endurance.
It was far, far better than a traditional reactor.
