Chapter 729: The Star Alliance is coming
Magic, this is a completely different route from technology.
If technology manipulates the rules of the universe by reading the underlying database of the universe, then magic is hacking software.
The effect of every magic is to exploit the loopholes of the laws of the universe to hijack the laws of the universe to work for itself.
One is to follow the steps, and the other is to take shortcuts. Therefore, in the early days of the two civilizations, the effect of magic must be more amazing, and even a lot of magic is a miracle that science cannot achieve, but in the end, it must be a victory of science, because the universe hates magic!
One is the science of honestly calling the underlying code to build the world, and the other is the magic of drilling code loopholes every day, if you are cosmic conscious, do you like that?
Of course, the universe basically has no self-consciousness, it just has a tendency. That is, the more powerful the magic, the more serious the backlash of the laws of the universe.
Just like now, a large number of mysterious people have begun to set up a huge magic circle in front of the Star Covenant warship. The area of this magic circle is unprecedentedly large, and the amount of magic required is unprecedented. But the more exaggerated the magic effect, the more serious the rebound of the laws of the universe, and the corresponding magic loss also increased exponentially.
And in order to complete this terrifying magic array, the abyss side sent a thousand gold-level magicians.
Such a large lineup is enough to slaughter gods, but now these magicians have exhausted almost all of their magic power and can only build a directional teleportation magic array. This kind of thing can only be considered intermediate magic, and almost a magician can play it. But it was extremely difficult to construct a teleportation circle that could allow a huge starship to pass through.
So there is a good saying, magicians all play Olympiad mathematics, and scientists play high mathematics. The rules of the Olympiad are all bizarre and not highly applicable, but they are more convenient. However, everyone knows that Olympiad mathematics can only be played by students, and high mathematics is the pyramid that pushes the progress of human civilization. As long as there are enough general-purpose machines, no matter what Gundam you have, you can push it flat!
Soon, as a thousand gold-level magicians input magic power at the same time, this huge magic array began to flicker with the light of a six-pointed star, and a huge band of light visible to the naked eye gradually lit up from the dark void. And with the operation of the magic array, an invisible fluctuation was transmitted to the depths of the extremely distant solar system.
"Well, my men have opened the way to Earth, all that's left is to see if your legion is working hard. Don't let me down!"
Boom!
Some of the frightened prophets swallowed their saliva and looked at each other in horror.
It was amazing.
There is a hyperspace fault in the outer part of the solar system, which is a special hyperspace forbidden zone set up by the pioneers to protect the solar system. If this device is not removed, the Covenant warships will have to sail a full light year to reach Earth, and with the huge size and slow acceleration of these Covenant warships, there will be no fifty years, let alone talk about it!
But now, with the help of the oracle, a group of mysterious people actually stepped into the void and created a short-range space portal in space with a completely unknown principle, and the Forerunner's hyperspace fault had no effect on it in the slightest.
Thinking of the implicit message, the two prophets were in awe of the oracle and the power behind it.
"Your Excellency, Great Divine Envoy, please rest assured, the Elite Guards and the Ghost-Faced Beast Legion will definitely defeat the human race completely, and we will open the door to the origin of the Holy Flame, and present the Holy Key to the Origin of the Holy Fire to His Royal Highness!"
"Hmph, I'm looking forward to your performance, if you fail, you know the results. There are so many prophets who want to replace you, prove your worth to me!"
With that, the man in black disappeared into thin air in front of the two prophets. It was as if he didn't exist at all.
Only the fearful expressions of the two prophets remained.
"Order the whole fleet to attack, attack immediately, and kill all the earthlings!"
"Find me the Holy Key, at all costs!"
In the roar of the two prophets, one after another, the Covenant ships disappeared into the six-pointed star gate, and it was not until nearly three thousand Covenant ships entered this long-distance portal that this strange gate suddenly began to stabilize, and then turned into a silver band of light and disappeared without a trace in a flash of lightning.
And the last Star Covenant battleship to pass through was still half of it outside the portal, only to see that the huge hull was easily shattered by this shrinking silver light, and the entire huge hull was suddenly split in half, engulfed by the fierce firelight!
Before the battle began, there was battle damage. A hint of unnaturalness appeared on the faces of all the Covenant warriors like this.
The elites, in particular, showed obvious dissatisfaction.
There were at least 3,000 elite warriors on that battleship just now, and these heroic warriors died in an accident before they could set off, which made the elite clansmen who admired honor angry!
"A thousand gold-level magicians can only maintain a portal for thirty minutes, it seems that the Forerunner's hyperspace fault controller still has some effect!" Seeing that the portal collapsed, causing a Star Covenant battleship to fall, the mysterious man couldn't help frowning and said. The Halo World's resistance to magic is somewhat beyond the imagination of the mysterious people, and the larger the scale of the magic, the shorter the duration. This made him worry a little.
"I hope these cannon fodder can play a little bit of a role, and don't waste my energy!"
Although one of the Covenant warships was destroyed, the mysterious man had no mercy on the death of these Covenant warriors, he just wanted these Covenant fleets to consume the power of humanity. As for the life or death of these Covenant warriors, he didn't care at all.
"Hey, hey, I don't know if you like these little gifts from me. Struggle hard, this time, no one will be able to help you!"
At the moment when the Covenant fleet passed through the portal, an observer hidden in the Oort Nebula faithfully transmitted the scene to the UNSC headquarters.
"Report, the Oort Cloud remote outpost has observed the attack of the Star Alliance fleet, the number far exceeds the previous record, and more than 10,000 Star Alliance warships have been detected so far, and the number of enemies is still increasing!"
Hearing the signalman's report, General Hood frowned!
He didn't expect the Covenant to come so quickly. And this time the other party is not a small fleet, as many as 10,000 super-large starships are almost more than the number of warships at the peak of mankind combined.
"Contact the Earth Unification Government immediately, and say that the Star Alliance's super-large fleet has been detected, and we need to be ready for battle!"
"Yes, General. Sending a signal to Earth!"
Just as General Hood was thinking about Earth's response and his own countermeasures, a piercing siren suddenly sounded throughout the bridge!
The signalman suddenly saw something incredible and shouted in horror!
"No, it can't be. The gravitational observer has detected super-massive gravitational fluctuations, and a massive object is approaching the station!"
"What!" General Hood looked shocked when he heard the news.
The long-range outpost had just reported the detection of the Covenant warship, how could it detect a large-scale space disturbance so quickly. That's too fast, isn't it?
Before everyone could react, a huge six-pointed star magic array appeared above the earth. One after another, huge Star Alliance warships rushed out, lined up in a dense spherical formation!
"Star Alliance! this is impossible, how did they break through the hyperspace fault barrier!"
Seeing thousands of Star Covenant warships appear in front of him, General Hood's scalp tingled!
Normally, if the Covenant fleet wants to invade the earth, it can only send a small number of Covenant ships into the hinterland of the solar system by charging other warships with warships loaded with super-powerful hyperspace jump cores.
And there are only a handful of Covenant ships that can be equipped with this super jump engine!
According to the information of the UNSC Navy, there are only three prophets in the entire Star Alliance, and each has a COS supercarrier.
These terrifying behemoths are more than twenty-eight kilometers long, about eleven kilometers wide, and more than three and a half kilometers high. A veritable mobile fortress, a starship!
And every time the Star Alliance wants to attack, it has to overload all the hyperspace jump cores on a COS supercarrier in order to send a mere fifty CRS-class light cruisers to Earth's low-earth orbit.
But now, the Cairo's artificial intelligence has been counted, and the number of Covenant fleets that have appeared this time exceeds three thousand. There are more than 500 CAS-class attack carriers alone, as well as a large number of CCS-class cruisers, CRS-class light cruisers, and a large number of CPV heavy destroyers.
Such a massive fleet is enough to grind the entire UNSC to slag.
On the human side, there are only a thousand improvised gunboats. The difference in power between the two sides can be imagined.
A fierce battle is inevitable!
