Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1038: Chapter 563, Fleet Decisive Battle_3

“Gu Hang… and the Alliance’s Storm Mage Corps… the spiritual energy they wield is more powerful than mentioned in the intelligence reports.”

Dubo made this judgment.

Boreson spoke up: “Sage Dubo, we cannot let Gu Hang continue like this, otherwise even if we achieve final victory, the losses will become unacceptable. Now, only you have the ability to counter his spiritual energy.”

“You don’t need to tell me.”

Sage Dubo left this line and then left the bridge.

His body, with the aid of mechanical structures, floated at high speed through the corridors inside the ship, reaching a secret chamber.

Here, there was a giant machine. Its surface was covered with complex patterns and symbols, emitting a faint blue glow, as if whispering the oldest secrets of the universe. At the center of the machine was a sphere composed of an energy field, imprisoning a huge and strange creature.

Its appearance was intimidating, resembling a long worm. The body was dark purple, covered with wriggling veins and tendons, looking twisted and disgusting. Its head was exceptionally large, encased in a chitinous shell. Between the gaps in the shell, there were numerous dense eyes, each of them glowing with a faint green light, revealing its spiritual energy. Its tentacles constantly stroked inside the energy field, making an unsettling buzzing sound.

Those with in-depth knowledge of the Void Insect Species could quickly determine that this was a very rare specimen among them: a Neuron Progeny, or one could also call it a Brain Bug Tyrant.

The brain bug might be a newly evolved type of Void Bug Beast, as the sparse historical records with the Void Insect Species from a thousand years ago did not contain such creatures.

The earliest reports occurred a millennium ago. Especially in the last few centuries, they have become more frequent.

Some reports suggest that this is a result of the Void Insect Species successfully deciphering and transforming the genes of certain psychics, or even a powerful psychic race, creating a new war machine.

They are powerful psychics, capable of using the spiritual energy gathered by the hive mind.

These beings have evolved to the extreme. Their shriveled bodies and swollen heads rely entirely on spiritual energy as power. They can only float themselves into the air using spiritual energy, hovering above the battlefield, launching psychic assaults on the enemies below or conveying commands from the hive mind to the smaller Tyranid Bug Race.

And ’Tyrant’ is a term for some powerful individuals within the Void Insect Species.

The combination of the two, called the Brain Bug Tyrant of the Neuron Progeny, implies unimaginable power.

And this one, even among those Brain Bug Tyrants recorded in the Empire, had an especially colossal size.

Sage Dubo extended both hands, from his arms, from his back, numerous neural cords probed and linked into the device in front of him.

With his operation, the brain bug’s eyes began to flicker more frequently, and its tentacles accelerated their stroking rhythm.

Suddenly, a strong psychic wave was released from the brain bug’s body, penetrating the energy field and spreading out into space. It was like a giant net, capturing the spiritual energy that was rampaging in space under Gu Hang’s control.

These forces, which originally ran rampant under Gu Hang’s manipulation, now encountered an unprecedented adversary.

In the void of space, two streams of spiritual energy began a fierce confrontation.

Spiritual energy was originally shapeless and formless, but when the two collided, they emitted substantive light waves.

The clashes between spiritual energy storms released a deafening roar — a sound that was not transmitted through vibrating soundwaves but instead seemed to resonate directly in the minds of every living creature.

Visible light waves intertwined with the storms, sometimes the brain bug’s psychic wave dominating, suppressing the storm; sometimes the storm counterattacked, tearing the light wave apart.

This silent battle played out among the stars, like two invisible titans struggling, each collision causing the surrounding space to warp, directly affecting all the starships present.

Inter-ship communication, even within the starships themselves, was greatly disrupted. Even with interference suppression equipment maxed out, it could not be completely shielded.

The decisive battle between both sides’ ships had thus become chaotic and undisciplined.

Gu Hang, on his own bridge, had eyes radiating a sapphire brilliance more dazzling than ever.

Countless psychics of the Storm Mage Corps had their power intertwined with his. Yet, in the recent confrontation, several Storm Mages could not withstand it.

In better condition, they were bleeding from their noses and mouths, looking languid, barely able to disconnect from the psychic link and crawl aside to rest.

In worse condition, their brains directly exploded into a mist of blood.

Gu Hang’s brow furrowed tightly.

The spiritual energy that had suddenly appeared on the battlefield was a strength he hadn’t anticipated.

Gu Hang wouldn’t naively think that Alfonso’s Ark Fleet, with such a vast scale, wouldn’t have means to counter spiritual energy.

But generally speaking, the Mechanical Sect wasn’t a force adept at utilizing spiritual energy. They might possess some peculiar technology to ensure defense, but to actively use spiritual energy for something was uncommon.

Yet, the current situation exceeded his estimation.

If it were said that Alfonso also had powerful psychics, it wasn’t impossible.

However, the scale of psychic strength present on the battlefield seemed a bit excessive.

This was absolutely at the level of an Alpha-class Psychic.

Which meant, this was not a power mortals could wield.

Where did Alfonso manage to find a stable Alpha-class to serve them?

Even stranger, Gu Hang could sense that the spiritual energy opposing him had a very peculiar… flavor.

It didn’t resemble a human psychic, nor did it seem like the spiritual energy used by the Abyssal Demons he had encountered many times.

What in the world is this?
