Chapter 665 Mysterious Giant and Difficult Standoff
Everyone inside the ruins tensed instantly. Lin Yu quickly and carefully stored away the second Heart of the Universe, and together with his teammates, they cautiously approached the entrance to the ruins. The tremors grew increasingly violent, as if an ancient behemoth was approaching step by step, each tremor causing a sharp pain in everyone's eardrums.
When they arrived at the entrance to the ruins, the sight before them made everyone gasp. A colossal mechanical construct stood on the satellite's surface, several times larger than the ruins themselves. It shimmered with a ghostly blue energy, and its mechanical arms and massive cannons gleamed with a cold metallic sheen. Its eyes flashed crimson, as if scrutinizing the uninvited guests who had intruded.
"What...what is this?" Xiao Wang murmured in shock. A member of the mysterious fleet, pale-faced and trembling, said, "I have seen similar records in ancient documents. This may be an ultimate weapon to protect ancient ruins. Once activated, it will eliminate anyone who tries to obtain the core of the ruins."
Lin Yu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. "Whatever it is, we can't back down. Everyone prepare for battle and find its weakness." The group quickly spread out, each finding cover and adjusting their weapons to their optimal condition.
The colossal mechanical construct launched the first attack, unleashing a powerful beam of energy from its cannon, hurtling towards the ruins with destructive force. Lin Yu shouted, "Get out of the way!" Everyone scrambled to the sides to avoid it. The energy beam struck the entrance to the ruins, instantly triggering a violent explosion that sent debris flying everywhere.
"We can't just sit here and take the hits; we have to take the initiative!" Lin Yu said, leading several team members to launch energy attacks at the mechanical construct. Beams of energy struck the mechanical construct's outer shell, but only sparks flew, seemingly causing no real damage.
The mechanical construct attacked again, this time swinging its mechanical arms, each swing creating a powerful gust of air that swept up surrounding rocks and dust. Between attacks, the team members observed the mechanical construct's movements, trying to find its weakness.
While dodging attacks, Ellie operated her detection device to scan the mechanical artifact from all sides. "I found its energy core is on its back, where the defenses are relatively weak, but it's difficult for us to get close," Ellie shouted to the others through the communicator.
After a moment's thought, Lin Yu devised a risky plan. "A few of us will draw its attention, while the rest of us will look for an opportunity to get behind it and attack its energy core." Everyone agreed.
Lin Yu led his team towards the mechanical construct, continuously firing energy attacks and successfully drawing its attention. The mechanical construct aimed its cannons and mechanical arms at them, intensifying its attacks. Lin Yu and the others skillfully dodged the attacks while trying to buy time and create opportunities for their teammates.
Meanwhile, Ellie, Xiao Wang, and the members of the mysterious fleet cautiously advanced behind the mechanical construct. Using the surrounding terrain as cover, they moved swiftly during the gaps in the mechanical construct's attacks. However, the mechanical construct seemed to sense their intentions, suddenly turning and shooting an energy beam at them.
"Oh no! Get out of the way!" Ellie shouted, and everyone quickly dropped to the ground. The energy beam grazed past their bodies and struck a boulder behind them, instantly blasting it into dust.
In this critical moment, Lin Yu and the others intensified their attacks, drawing the mechanical creation's attention back to them. Ellie and the others seized this opportunity and continued advancing towards the back of the mechanical creation. Finally, they reached the back of the mechanical creation and saw the shimmering energy core.
"Now! Attack the energy core!" Ellie shouted. Everyone quickly raised their weapons and unleashed their strongest energy attacks at the energy core. Beams of energy converged and struck the core. The energy core flickered instantly, and the mechanical constructs slowed down.
However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, the energy core suddenly emitted a bright light, reflecting all the attacks back. Ellie and the others were blasted away by the powerful energy shock and crashed heavily to the ground.
The mechanical construct seemed enraged, its attacks becoming even more frenzied. Lin Yu watched his teammates struggle for survival, his heart filled with anxiety. He knew they had to devise a new plan quickly, or they would all perish. In this life-or-death moment, could Lin Yu find a way to overcome the crisis and successfully defeat this mysterious mechanical behemoth?
