Xyrin Empire

Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Pollution Outbreak

“The Conqueror-class had already demonstrated two of its famously formidable maneuvers: ‘Revelation’ and ‘Gospel Book,’ the strongest macro-control device and the most robust defense barrier. Now, only ‘Genesis’ had yet to be displayed before us. It was said that ‘Genesis’ could annihilate thousands of constant stars like a machine gun—though such an attack seemed less potent compared to the universe-collapsing power of ‘Gospel Book,’ one point must be noted: the attacks from ‘Genesis’ were purely based on law: deleting material, and in terms of power levels, ‘Genesis’ was even half an order of magnitude higher than ‘Gospel Book’!

If we were to face an attack from ‘Genesis’ head-on, even the Empire’s fleet, capable of anti-phasing, would likely suffer more than half in losses.

However, it now seemed that the attack from ‘Genesis’ wouldn’t come; those massive rings had already redirected all their energy into strengthening ‘Gospel Book’ and ‘Revelation.’ Ocam’s tactics were simple yet deadly: reverse time, reverse time as quickly as possible, allowing the Black Sun to replay the scene of the gods’ self-destruction within twelve hours. Compared to ‘Genesis,’ the power of that self-destruction would probably be more lethal to us, and more critically, due to the unique nature of the Black Sun, the power of that self-destruction would be confined near the Sun Core, making the attacks we endure increase manifold!

When ‘Genesis’ attacked, the intense interference it created would temporarily disable the ‘Gospel Book,’ giving us a chance to counterattack. But if those rings stubbornly continued to reverse time, we really would have no options left.

The multiple volleys from the Empire’s fleet had failed to break through the defense of the ‘Gospel Book.’ As a weapon rarely used even by the Xyrin people, the Conqueror-class, once fully operational, was not so easily destroyed—explaining why we didn’t see Ocam deploying defensive troops near the Conqueror. Presumably, after the ‘Gospel Book’ was activated, those defensive troops had already been withdrawn.

Against the law-level ‘Gospel Book,’ even the strongest defense troops were but an embellishment, meant to be exterminated in the subsequent battle—completely a waste.

And as the fleet’s attacks were intercepted time after time, our hearts were increasingly shrouded by a shadow.

‘How much time is left?’

This time, I asked Qianqian, who, unlike Bubbles, who could no longer determine the collapse time of the Black Sun after ‘Revelation’ reset some constants of this space, was still watching the flow of the timeline, which backflow rate was accelerating.

‘Three hours,’ Qianqian’s complexion looked grim, yet she remained calm, gripping my hand, which seemed to bring her some peace of mind. ‘I just tried to disrupt the flow of time here, but it was pointless. It’s a self-contained system, nothing like any time I recognize!’

‘Don’t waste your strength,’ sighed Sandora. ‘Unless we destroy ‘Revelation,’ this reverse-time will never cease, and it has no relation to our real space… The Fallen Apostles may have more of the Imperial Heritage than we imagined!’

I said nothing, instead frowning and straining to think of what could be done now.
