Chapter 282 The Truth About the Mysterious Force and the Prelude to the Final Showdown
With the help of the energy core, the alliance fleet gradually gained the upper hand, but the enemy warships' fierce resistance aroused the commander's suspicions. While directing the battle, he ordered reconnaissance ships to expand their reconnaissance range, determined to find out the details of this mysterious force.
In the midst of the fierce firefight, a reconnaissance ship ventured close to the massive black structure, using special cloaking technology to evade attacks and successfully obtain crucial intelligence. The intelligence revealed that these mysterious warships were not remnants of dark forces, but rather belonged to a forgotten ancient civilization. This civilization had fallen into slumber due to an internal war, and had now been awakened by an unknown evil force, forced to become its pawn.
Upon learning the truth, the Alliance fleet commander fell into deep thought. He knew that these manipulated ancient civilization warships were merely victims; the real threat was the evil force that had awakened them. Just then, the flagship's communication channel received a mysterious signal. The sender claimed to be a survivor of the ancient civilization, willing to cooperate with the Alliance to fight against the mastermind behind it all.
The commander decided to risk meeting with the enemy. Under heavy guard, he led a small team onto the spaceship that had sent the signal. Inside the cabin, they were greeted by a tall, slender emissary from an ancient civilization whose skin emitted a ghostly glow. The emissary explained that the evil force originated from the dark dimensions of the universe and had been trying to devour various civilizations to obtain powerful energy. This time, they were using the awakening of the ancient civilization to borrow their power, break through dimensional limitations, and invade the entire universe.
To stop this, survivors of the ancient civilization revealed that a powerful artifact capable of sealing the entrance to the dark dimension is hidden at the heart of the black structure. However, to obtain the artifact, one must break through the complex layers of defense mechanisms within the structure. The most troublesome of these is a mental interference device based on the power of the ancient civilization's faith, which plunges anyone who gets close into endless hallucinations.
Upon learning of the situation, the Alliance fleet and the survivors of the ancient civilization quickly formulated a joint action plan. The Alliance fleet would first draw the enemy warships' attention, while the ancient civilization's ships would then approach the black structure. Simultaneously, Wang Lin's research team raced against time to develop protective equipment capable of resisting mental interference devices.
The battle resumed, with the allied fleet launching a full-scale attack, energy cannon fire raining down on the enemy warships. Although the enemy warships were being controlled, they stubbornly resisted thanks to the advanced technology of their ancient civilization. Meanwhile, the ancient civilization's ships approached the black structure amidst the chaos.
Wang Lin's team lived up to expectations and successfully developed the protective helmet. The helmet emitted a special mental wave that canceled out the hallucinatory signals emitted by the jamming device. The commander selected an elite squad, equipped them with protective gear, and accompanied the envoys of the ancient civilization to the black building.
The squad, aboard a small landing craft, landed on the platform of the black building amidst a hail of gunfire. As soon as they touched down, a group of mechanical guards surrounded them. These guards were enormous, wielding sharp weapons and possessing formidable offensive capabilities. The squad members quickly engaged in combat, using their weapons to fight off the guards.
In the midst of fierce fighting, the team members gradually approached the interior of the building. However, once inside, they discovered an even more complex environment. The passageways were intricate, the walls flickered with eerie light, and hidden traps would occasionally launch attacks. The team proceeded cautiously, relying on the guidance of the ancient civilization's envoy, and gradually approached the core area.
Finally, they arrived at the entrance to the core area. Here stood a massive stone gate, its surface covered in mysterious symbols, radiating powerful energy fluctuations. The ancient civilization's envoy explained that these symbols were the key to opening the gate, and that deciphering them would be extremely difficult.
Meanwhile, the battle outside had reached its climax. Although the Allied fleet held the advantage, the sheer number of enemy ships was overwhelming, and their forces were suffering heavy losses. The ancient civilization's ships were also struggling to breach the outer defenses of the structure, creating a dire situation. Could the team decipher the symbols on the stone gate and obtain the sealed artifact within this limited time? This final showdown, crucial to the fate of the universe, was about to begin.
