Chapter 143: Cornered
Stokoff's judgment was correct, Hernandas's body was indeed hidden in the huge obelisk battleship.
In fact, the massive black battleship was actually just the armor and combat power enhancer of its own body, and it had been in the shell of the massive obelisk since it was created by its master.
Narud combined the bio-information of angels and demons collected from a series of previous genetic experiments to create this terrifying creature.
Its hidden body in the obelisk is capable of absorbing and reshaping the psionic energy escaping from the universe and transforming it into the power used by its own weapon system, the serpent-like tentacles.
Hernandas's biggest weakness is that the body itself is very fragile, with almost no defensive and offensive capabilities.
Without the protection and reinforcement of the Obelisk, it could not even escape on its own.
Therefore, in order to disguise its weaknesses, it disguises its tentacles as extremely striking and strong, hoping to attract the attention of its enemies to the tentacles.
At the same time, with this powerful tentacle proliferator, it can also protect its body from damage, and use the powerful power and diverse functionality of the tentacles to engage enemies.
Its tentacles can transform their own energy properties to achieve a variety of different effects, including the previously seen "black hole defense", "high-energy light cannon" and "highly toxic sting", and of course, the "bluestone scales" used to enhance the impact resistance of the tentacles themselves.
These are actually the effects of energy changes, and the main controller is its body.
The Obelisk Battleship where Hernandath was hiding was made by Narud using a new high-strength material discovered in the universe, which was extremely strong and capable of holding energy flow, and was used as the armor of Hernandas's body.
Under normal circumstances, if Hernandas's enemies do not have very destructive weapons, then even if they discover Hernandas's secrets, they will not be able to destroy the "armor" that it wears on its body.
However, this does not apply to the Swarm Fleet.
After confirming his suspicions, Stodorkov immediately changed the Leviathan's operational objectives, assigning most of the fire channels on the flagship to the Obelisk giant battleship.
In the next moment, Leviathan's secondary artillery system fired another salvo, and hundreds of dazzling meteors pierced the void in the blink of an eye, shooting towards the giant obelisk battleship!
Faced with this situation, Hernandas had no other way, and the Leviathan's secondary cannon salvo didn't want to use the main body to resist.
So it could only let its giant snake appendage once again show a new change in energy properties to try to defend against this round of artillery fire.
The slender serpent's body swayed sideways, blocking the front of the obelisk battleship at once, and at the same time, the scales on its body instantly rose upside down, and each scale swelled rapidly in the dark brown halo.
The scales detached from the serpent's body and formed an oval-shaped scaly shield in front of the obelisk, protecting its body from the rear.
Leviathan's secondary cannon slammed into the shield in the next moment, and the white light of the explosion splashed scorching ripples, and the scale shield kept shaking under the continuous blows, and the continuous fragments of scales on the surface were thrown away by the shock wave.
The Leviathan's secondary artillery strike lasted five minutes before stopping.
When the white light of the explosion completely dissipated, Stokoff saw that the surface of the scaly shield had become cratered, and large cracks had appeared in many places!
Anyway, it was able to block the Leviathan's shelling.
After barely surviving the firepower, the scales that formed the shield changed back to the form of scales, covering the giant snake's body again, but at this time, the giant snake's body did not look as powerful and domineering as before.
The explosion of the Leviathan's secondary cannon left a large number of scorched black and cracks in the scales that would not heal, making the serpent's body look as if it had been roasted by fire.
At the same time that Leviathan began to seize the initiative in the battle, the Zerg fleet and the Star Spirit fleet had also slowly pushed the Sarnagar fleet to the edge of the cliff on the fleet battlefield.
As the dodge space continues to shrink, more and more Sarnagar biomorphic warships begin to become live targets.
The Heavy Artillery Governors now don't even need to aim, they can fire directly into the center of the opposing fleet, and they can hit at least one target anyway.
The Void Glow Ships of the Star Spirits even served as "shepherd dogs".
Together with the Corruptor formations in the biters, these nimble medium ships are constantly driving away the Sarnagar battleships that are trying to escape from the encirclement from their positions on the edge of the battlefield.
Under the covert orders of Hernandas, there was always a part of the battleships that would form small formations and try to escape the encirclement from the other two directions, which were not attacked, and then make a comeback.
However, the Void Glow Ships and the Corruptor Formation put an end to this delusion once and for all.
Not only are these two types of warships very fast, but both have weapon systems that have the effect of eroding the armor of large ships.
Their concentrated encirclement and drive made the Sarnagar warship's breakthrough operation hit the iron plate every time - because the front line was still in a standoff, the breakthrough Sarnagar ships did not dare to bring too many companions each time, for fear of causing a complete collapse of the frontline firepower network.
But in this way, the small number of Sarnagar Organism warships are no match for the "vicious dogs" of the large group of Corruptors and the Void Glow Ship formation.
In addition, from time to time, the prowlers would suddenly burst out from all over the place to give these lone breakouts a shot, or send two torpedo tail guns, so that every time they broke out, they lost their troops and did not play any role.
In this case, the situation of the Sarnagar fleet almost inevitably began to slide into the abyss of complete collapse, and the living space of the entire fleet had been compressed to the limit of combat effectiveness for almost four hours.
Faced with the predicament of the fleet, Hernandaz was naturally very anxious, and it began to have a premonition in its heart, feeling that this so-called "clearance operation" might eventually become "anti-liquidation" by the other party.
But it is still unwilling, its owner has a power that is unimaginable to it, and this power also brings it a sense of pride to a certain extent.
Many times before, it had gone on expeditions with fleets, and wherever the Sarnagar Creatures went, it was invincible, and no civilization in this universe could resist their invasion.
No matter how fierce the resistance of the natives was, in the end they could only be reduced to the genetic samples of their masters, which were transformed into the strength of the Grand Fleet.
So Hernandas couldn't accept his imminent defeat.
So it was determined to let go and make a last-ditch effort, hoping to use its own power to turn the whole battle around!
