Chapter 450: Energy Fluctuations and the Core of the Relic
Lin Yu's gaze instantly locked onto the monitoring screen, the constantly fluctuating energy readings causing his heart to race. "All units on alert! Prepare for any contingencies!" His voice rang out in the fleet's communication channel, calm yet carrying an undeniable sense of urgency. The crew moved swiftly; the warship's weapon systems instantly charged, shield strength increased to maximum, and the entire fleet entered Level One combat readiness.
As the powerful energy fluctuation rapidly approached, a colossal figure slowly emerged from the depths of the passage. It was a gigantic creature composed of pure energy, its body constantly shifting shape, surrounded by blinding lightning. Wherever it went, the light in the passage was dimmed by its imposing aura.
"What...what is this thing?" A team member's voice was filled with terror; the scene before them was completely beyond their comprehension. Lin Yu stared intently at the mysterious creature, his mind racing: "Whatever it is, we can't back down. Observe its movements and find its weaknesses."
The colossal creature seemed to sense the fleet's presence, letting out a deafening roar before charging towards it. Wherever it passed, space seemed to tear apart, creating streaks of black cracks. Lin Yu decisively ordered, "Spread out and take cover! Don't engage it head-on!" The warships, like nimble birds, quickly dispersed, avoiding the giant creature's direct impact.
Taking advantage of this brief moment, Ellie quickly operated the detection equipment to scan the giant creature. "Lin Yu, its energy fluctuations are very unstable, seemingly caused by the uncontrolled convergence of energy within the ruins. Moreover, the energy is most concentrated in its core area, which may be the key."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu had an idea: "Everyone, listen to my command! Concentrate your firepower on its core. Be careful to stay agile and avoid being hit by its attacks." The fleet immediately adjusted its tactics, with the warships circling the giant creature, constantly searching for suitable angles of attack, and beams of energy rained down on its core.
Under the fleet's attack, the giant creature roared in pain, its movements slowed, and the energy glow on its body began to flicker erratically. However, it was not easily defeated; instead, it unleashed even greater power, waves of energy spreading from its body, causing the warships' shields to tremble wherever they went.
"Shield energy down to 30%!" The shield operator's voice was filled with anxiety. Lin Yu gritted his teeth: "Hold on, we can't give up! Increase firepower, we must destroy its core before it attacks again!"
Just as the situation reached a stalemate, Lin Yu suddenly remembered the energy device depicted in the murals of the passage. A thought struck him: perhaps this energy device was somehow connected to the giant creature before them. "Ellie, can you analyze the connection between this giant creature's energy and the energy device in the ruins?"
Ellie quickly immersed herself in the intense analysis and soon made a discovery: "Lin Yu, the energy composition of this giant creature is extremely similar to the output energy of the energy device. Perhaps we can use the energy device to absorb its energy in reverse!"
Lin Yu's eyes lit up: "Okay, let's find the control terminal of the energy device immediately and give it a try." The team members quickly searched the ruins and finally found a huge control console at the end of the passage, which was covered with patterns similar to the symbols they had seen before.
Lin Yu and several team members quickly boarded the control panel and carefully began operating it according to the meanings of the symbols they had previously deciphered. As they operated it, the control panel emitted a deep rumble, and the energy device deep within the ruins began to activate. A powerful suction force emanated from the energy device, spreading towards the giant creature.
Drawn by the energy device, the giant creature's energy began to be gradually drained, its body becoming increasingly ethereal, and its roars growing weaker. Finally, as the last trace of energy was absorbed, the giant creature completely dissipated into the universe.
With the crisis averted, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. But Lin Yu knew this was just the tip of the iceberg of the ruins' secrets. They continued along the passage and finally arrived at the core area of the ruins. A huge energy sphere floated in the center, emitting a soft yet powerful light, surrounded by complex energy lines—the very energy device depicted in the murals. Beside the energy sphere, a device flashing blue light was continuously emitting the same frequency as the abnormal signals detected by the Cosmic Alliance.
"It seems this is the answer we've been looking for." Lin Yu gazed at the scene before him, his heart filled with emotion. However, before they could even approach the device, the surrounding energy circuits suddenly shifted, powerful currents coursing through them, seemingly preventing them from getting closer. What challenges awaited them in the core area of this ruin?
