This bastion was the embodiment of the dreams of the Eastern Alliance. For so many years the Eastern Alliance had been oppressed. They had endured in silence, waiting for the day when they would rise to glory.
Because of this, although Middle Heaven had demonstrated its power, it still had a trump card it hadn't yet revealed.
There was only one way to describe Middle Heaven's Ultimate Ray. It was Middle Heaven's most powerful attack, its most destructive!
Lan Qing's original plan had been to use it against the alien home worlds!
But now its target wasn't the home worlds.
The crystal-clear Ultimate Ray predicted the trajectory of the attack and brushed past the six Weak Water Cannonballs that had exploded.
Its target wasn't the Violet Prince or Princess, either.
Jueti had told Lan Qing that the strongest aliens had a close relationship with the home worlds. Almost all of them could be teleported away.
The Infinite-level aliens couldn't withstand Middle Heaven's Ultimate Ray, but they could at least block it. That would be enough time for the home worlds to strike.
A single shot of Ultima Ray was a heavy burden on Middle Heaven. They had to get something out of it.
If anyone could see Lan Qing right now they would see his eyes had turned completely golden. Standing in front of him was Jun 'er.
Jun 'er held the Eye of Tomorrow in both hands. With the support of Lan Qing's power, her entire body glowed with a pale golden light. Lan Qing's hands fluttered like butterflies through the air. Vast amounts of data flickered across the screen.
Prophecy and prediction guided the Ultimate Ray's path. Only in this way could it be used in its ultimate form.
Unlike Tyrannosaurus' main cannon, it didn't last as long as Tyrannosaurus' main cannon.
It lasted only a moment, a moment, a moment of beauty.
There were only five aliens in its path, no more enemies.
These five aliens were the ones who had emerged from behind the Violet Prince. They were on their way to reinforce the distant battlefield.
Their bodies froze, and their bodies that were just about to spread out all stopped.
It looked as if they had suddenly become still. Other than that, there were no other changes.
However, this stillness only lasted for a very short period of time. After a short pause, their bodies began to gradually turn into sand, turning into orange-gold particles that disappeared into the endless space.
He had destroyed five Nirvana-level aliens with a single blow, shocking everyone present.
The aliens' greatest advantage was their numbers. Whether it was in the Infinite or the Nirvana level, they had the upper hand.
The Violet Prince and Princess' breath caught in their throats as the Final Ray swept past them. Fear gripped their hearts.
Just as they paused, the power of the Weak Water Cannon eroded and engulfed them all.
Middle Heaven didn't continue its attack. Instead, it arced around and headed for Jueti's right flank.
Jue Di's all-out attack and the aftermath of the aliens' explosion had left the battlefield in shambles. The sky was dark and the earth was dark.
But there were too many aliens on the right flank. Not even Jueti could stop all of them.
As Middle Heaven flew, it began to fire its Final Ray, killing any alien that crossed Jueti's line of defense.
In the control room, Lan Qing had returned to normal. Jun'Er walked to the side and sat down.
The Bastion's body trembled slightly. The Final Ray had taken a heavy toll on the ship.
Lan Qing's attack had not only reduced the enemy's advantage in numbers, it had also served as a deterrent. Lan Qing's goal was to show the aliens that they weren't without the power to threaten them.
If Lan Jue hadn't been on the other side of the battlefield, Lan Qing wouldn't have used the Final Ray so easily. He would have waited for the right opportunity to strike the alien home worlds.
But things were different now. The two brothers were connected by blood. With Jun'Er's help, Lan Qing knew that both Lan Jue and the Pharmacist were safe. As long as they weren't killed in the first attack, and the enemy had sent out all of their experts, their chances of success would be much higher.
Lan Qing needed to focus on keeping the aliens at bay. He needed to give Lan Jue and the others more time to find Ultus.
The importance of strategy and tactics, and the wisdom of humanity in the art of war, were on full display in this battle.
It wasn't as if Lan Qing hadn't been able to do the same in the previous battles, but the allied forces hadn't been able to cooperate well enough. He couldn't reveal his full power at once and give the aliens a chance to be on their guard.
But today's battle was different. This battle would determine who would have the last laugh between the humans and the aliens.
He had to give it his all.
On the right flank, Middle Heaven and Jue Di were fighting with everything they had. They were able to keep the aliens at bay and prevent them from getting close to the human army.
On the other flank, the combined firepower of the allied forces was concentrated.
If one were to look from afar, they would be able to see that the left wing was almost completely covered by the light rays. Wherever the rays went, they covered a large area.
The aliens were like moths drawn to a flame. They charged into the area with a frenzied frenzy.
In a moment, the battle had reached a fever pitch.
A furious roar tore from the Violet Prince's lips. He hadn't felt so humiliated since the beginning of the war.
He'd been suppressed from the start, and the enemy's tactics had taken control of him. The Soft Water Cannon's power began to wane, and at last he couldn't hold back any longer. His Domain of Creation and Destruction flickered between creation and destruction. Finally he was able to force his way out of the Soft Water Cannon's range.
More than a dozen top aliens followed him out of the encirclement.
The Violet Prince glanced at the situation on both sides. He pointed with his right hand, and two of the most powerful aliens flew toward the left flank, where the battle was most intense. He and the Violet Princess led the rest of the elite aliens to the right flank.
His goal was still Middle Heaven. He knew that destroying it was the only way to defeat the human army.
So he brought his strongest force with him to the right flank. The aliens still had the advantage in numbers, but they couldn't stop Middle Heaven or Jueti.
Middle Heaven kept the aliens at bay as it slowly retreated toward the allied forces.
The alien army was already pushing forward.
