Chapter 443 Entering Another Dimension
Chapter 443 Entering Another Dimension
After Sessions and the others had entered a stable flight state, they unbuckled their seatbelts, stepped down from the captain's seat, and said, "At our current flight speed, it will take four cosmic hours to reach the target location." Li Chenglong already knew about cosmic time; one hour in cosmic time is equivalent to one and a half hours on Earth. That means in six hours on Earth, the warship would reach its combat position.
The group then proceeded to a multi-functional operations conference room on the warship, where Guedes began to explain the general plan for the operation. In short, the operation was divided into four phases.
Once the warships and several escorting smaller warships arrive at the target location, they will deploy energy blocks condensed from high-quality energy. These energy sources will rapidly increase in size and begin emitting energy once deployed. The void creatures that feed on high-energy substances will inevitably come, and this is the first stage.
In the second phase, while the void creatures were arriving, Li Chenglong gradually gathered energy, drawing out the energy of the G-gem to use as bait to attract them. Once the energy from the energy blocks was completely absorbed, the void creatures would surely discover Li Chenglong and be drawn to him.
The third stage is the most crucial stage. After the void creatures are attracted by Li Chenglong, he must immediately open the dimensional rift, go in first, and then try to attract all the void creatures in.
The fourth stage is the final stage. After Li Chenglong attracts the void creatures inside, he can use his dimensional travel ability to return to normal space, then close the dimensional rift, thus trapping the void creatures within the dimensional rift. According to the research of Guedes and others, even void creatures capable of individual dimensional travel cannot escape from dimensional rifts created by powerful individuals with dimensional abilities.
Li Chenglong agreed with the plan, but then raised a fatal problem: "The place we're going to is a cosmic region, right? As a human, I can't survive in space. Forget about attracting those void creatures; I'm afraid I'll die from the cosmic environment as soon as I get out."
Guedes nodded and said with a smile, "Don't even mention you, even we can't survive in space. We've already prepared something for you." As she spoke, Lily took out a thin garment with a helmet attached from her storage space.
Miraru explained, "This is our latest spacesuit. It's incredibly intelligent, yet it has all the necessary functions. Even an attack from an 11th-level powerhouse would have a hard time damaging it. And more importantly, it's extremely comfortable to wear. It comes with its own space technology. With just this spacesuit, you could live in space for a month without any problems."
Li Chenglong took the spacesuit and examined it carefully, quite satisfied. However, one suit felt a bit insufficient; if he wanted to travel in space with Yunlan in the future, he would need a few more. He smiled and said, "Mr. Guedes, I wonder if you could give me a few more spacesuits? I'm willing to buy them with crystals."
Guedes was slightly taken aback, then said, "It's just some spacesuits. Giving you dozens is no problem." After saying that, he took out at least a hundred identical spacesuits from his storage bracelet. Li Chenglong thanked him and put all the spacesuits into the storage area of his psionic space.
After chatting for a while, Li Chenglong changed into his spacesuit, ready for the upcoming battle. As the moment of combat approached, the relaxed expressions of everyone present gradually faded, replaced by seriousness.
Guedes said earnestly to Li Chenglong, "Lord Li, we can now say that the success or failure of this operation is related to the safety of the entire Milky Way. If the void creatures continue to run rampant, the entire Milky Way will become a land of death within a thousand years. I have some level 13 and a few level 14 crystals here, which were collected by our interstellar alliance. Consider it a small compensation from us."
Li Chenglong accepted the crystals, which radiated tremendous energy, without any hesitation, and said solemnly, "I will do my best."
After several hours of flight, the fleet finally arrived at its target location. At Guedes' command, the flagship and escort warships launched their massive energy blocks. Meanwhile, Li Chenglong, already fully equipped, began to fully activate the G-Gem, which had become one with him. At this moment, he had not only activated Level 2 Holy Dragon Blood, but the energy of the G-Gem was also flowing through his body along with his blood.
Even Guedes, Miraru, and Lily, who were standing nearby, felt a chill run down their spines as they sensed the immense energy emanating from Li Chenglong. At that moment, this space was like a hornet's nest that had been stirred up, with numerous spatial rifts appearing, and from these rifts, void creatures surged forth like waves.
Among them were void spiders the size of a small car, void centipedes the size of a dozen train carriages, and void creatures the size of a dozen-story building, resembling turtles. These void creatures formed a wave that surged out of the spatial rift and rushed towards the energy blocks in the center. In less than a minute, more than half of those energy blocks were absorbed.
Geddes was shocked: "I didn't expect there to be so many void creatures this time. Why is this happening? It's completely beyond our calculations. Sessions, immediately use the mothership's quantum computing system to recalculate."
Before Sessions could speak, the staff in front had already begun their frantic work. Less than 30 seconds later, a staff member stood up in a panic and said, "Report, Captain! According to our latest calculations, the number of void creatures in this region has now reached 8.7 trillion, far exceeding our previous estimate of 4 trillion. However, the number of newly arrived creatures has decreased significantly, and this should be the number of void creatures in our area."
Sessions immediately said to Guedes, "Representative, the situation has far exceeded our expectations. Once those energy blocks are absorbed by the void creatures, they will definitely attack us. Now we have no choice but to retreat quickly and think of other solutions."
Guedes, Lily, and Miraru exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and then said, "Alright, we'll go now..." "I'm leaving. If I'm not back in five minutes, you'd better retreat immediately. Also, don't forget your promises to Earth, to China, and to Dawn City!"
Before Guedes could finish speaking, Li Chenglong's figure vanished from the spot, leaving only his words echoing in the cockpit. "He's there!" Sessions shouted. Everyone looked over and saw Li Chenglong enveloped in golden light, illuminating the dark space around them.
At this moment, the void creatures had finished absorbing the energy blocks and were moving around haphazardly. However, sensing Li Chenglong's energy in the distance, they all rushed towards him. Li Chenglong showed no fear and shouted to one side, "Dimensional Transmission, maximum power!" Immediately, a crimson rift several kilometers long gradually appeared in this space.
Li Chenglong leaped into the crevice, and the void creatures followed suit, rapidly dwindling the number of those remaining outside. On the distant flagship, Guedes and the others stared in disbelief at the scene before them, speechless for a long time.
Lily was the first to react, and said to the communications officer in front of her, "Contact Lord Li immediately. Almost all the void creatures outside have rushed in. Tell him to find a chance to come out as soon as possible." The communications officer immediately started making calls, but because of the dimensional rift, all the calls went unanswered.
Just as the communicator was still making calls, the person next to him stopped what he was doing, stood up and said, "Captain, we have detected an extremely powerful energy expansion phenomenon ahead. This is a sign that an explosion is about to occur. According to our calculations, the power of the explosion will turn the surrounding area of 200,000 kilometers into a black hole. We must evacuate this area immediately."
Guedes shouted, "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, he will definitely come back!" However, even without measuring instruments, they could feel the terrifying energy spreading in the space ahead. Sessions said urgently, "Representatives, we must retreat now, otherwise everyone in the fleet will die."
"Thud!" Guedes blasted his seat into pieces before reluctantly saying, "Let's return to base." Sessions immediately issued the order: "Order all warships to immediately disengage from this area at maximum speed and use the jump route to reach the designated location and await further orders!"
No sooner had the fleet left than a violent explosion began emanating from the spatial rift, and a sphere of light rapidly expanded, engulfing everything around it.
