Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1039: Chapter 564, Original Spiritual Energy

Gu Hang quickly understood the power with which he was engaged in spiritual energy confrontation, and what made it particularly strange.

The manifestation in subspace was different.

Human psychics are essentially souls that become a link between the real universe and subspace. Demons that come to the real world are nothing more than projections of subspace power into the real world.

The difference in power between the two lies in that the former, as a human soul, can filter and shape the raw power of subspace after training, manifesting relatively safe, controllable, and precise energy, according to the psychic’s own traits and thoughts.

The latter, on the other hand, strongly expresses the characteristics of a demon as a singular subspace demon, an extreme and polluted power.

Scholars distinguish between the two; the former is called spiritual energy, while the latter is called demonic energy.

But essentially, both are expressions of the infinite and omnipotent power within subspace; the expression methods are just different.

This current situation is the same.

The difference lies in its method of expression… which made Gu Hang find it very strange.

Under its motivation, the power of subspace wasn’t simply applied but was more like… stolen, suppressed, and forcefully utilized.

This surprised Gu Hang a lot.

He wasn’t able to determine what this power originated from.

Was it some specific technology possessed by the Alfonso Sect?

Quite impressive.

The powers of both sides collided in space. The strange subspace power mastered by the Alfonso Sect mainly ’worked’ continuously to prevent Gu Hang from using his own spiritual energy to directly affect their ships.

Gu Hang was indeed tangled up and quite annoyed, with no time to easily tear apart the enemy ship’s void shields.

Whenever he tried to break free, this tamed subspace power would quickly snap back on him.

Its power didn’t attempt to attack the Alliance ships.

This behavior also confirmed one of Gu Hang’s suspicions.

After realizing the special nature of the spiritual energy opposing him, Gu Hang felt that this relatively primitive method of using spiritual energy wasn’t suitable for striking void shields.

Raw subspace power can only crudely and directly impact vehicle shields and void shields with energy surges.

It’s not infeasible, not completely ineffective, but very limited, yielding little effect for the effort.

Gu Hang intentionally held back, pretending that his spiritual energy was slightly overpowered, and temporarily extinguished his own spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy of the Brain Bug Tyrant, controlled by Sage Dubo, hesitated in space for a moment, unable to find its defensive target.

A thought flashed through his mind: Is that all Gu Hang’s got?

The intensity was quite high, but the endurance seemed lacking.

Could there be some conspiracy?

But he couldn’t care too much. The spiritual energy of the Brain Bug Tyrant had already been projected out, and he couldn’t retract it just because he couldn’t sense Gu Hang’s movements.

Thus, he tried to urge the power, just as Gu Hang had torn apart the ’Iron Will,’ projecting the Brain Bug Tyrant’s strength onto the Alliance ships.

He targeted a cruiser, and the subspace power surged up, but after a long while, it couldn’t pierce the shield. It took two shots from the accompanying heavy cannons to turn the moon-class void shield red.

It was a bit awkward.

Gu Hang realized that while this ’taming’ and ’enslavement’ of subspace power could control powerful energy, it had almost no skills and could not spawn necessary changes.

Ripping apart a void shield isn’t as simple as just surging energy against it—this strange power was doing just that. But if done this way, it equates to using spiritual energy like a cannonball, transforming it into specific energy in the real world to bombard the void shield.

But in that case, why bother with spiritual energy? Just use Colossal Cannons or light spears to bombard it.

Of course, even if it’s such a primitive and straightforward use of spiritual energy, it’s quite threatening. After all, there’s no need to worry about accuracy with spiritual energy; give it some more time, and it could achieve decent results.

However, after achieving what he wanted, Gu Hang no longer hesitated and took action immediately.

Seizing the opportunity while the Brain Bug Tyrant was contending with the moon-class void shield of the Alliance, Gu Hang materialized his spiritual energy again, targeting a cruiser and two escort ships of the Ark Fleet. His spiritual energy, with a special oscillating frequency, directly affected their void shields and energy shields internally, disrupting their efficiency and quickly tearing apart the void and energy shields.

Yelisia’s coordination with Gu Hang had become quite seamless. When she received Gu Hang’s notice, she coordinated several battleships, readying them; once the void shield was broken, firepower immediately followed up, quickly turning them into space debris.

Simultaneously, Gu Hang locked onto his next target: the second-largest ship among the enemies, the ’Ascension Machine Spirit’ emperor-class battleship.

By this time, the spiritual energy of the Brain Bug Tyrant controlled by Dubo turned back around to entangle with Gu Hang’s spiritual energy once again.

This demonstrated once more the differences in flexibility and technicality of the spiritual energy mastered by the Alfonso Sect.

Of course, Dubo wasn’t realizing just now; he had noticed as soon as Gu Hang’s spiritual energy reappeared on the battlefield, attempting to redirect his power to counter it.

He knew that the efficiency with which he handled the Alliance ship shields was no match to Gu Hang; exchanging blows this way would surely mean his side would be at a loss. But if it were a direct collision of spiritual energies, technique and flexibility did play a role, but Dubo could rely on brute strength to entangle with Gu Hang.

Causing chaos wasn’t possible, but ruining plans was still manageable.

On the contrary, Gu Hang was absolutely unwilling to engage in a spiritual energy confrontation and entanglement with this inexplicable power.

It was very intense, and during confrontation, it was inevitable that Storm Mages would be sacrificed.

Sacrifices could happen, and whether Gu Hang could win in a head-on collision…whether he could win or not, it was certainly labor-intensive and time-consuming.

Even without spiritual energy support, the Alfonso fleet inherently held a strength advantage; but the Alliance Fleet, clearly at a disadvantage in conventional fleet strength, had victory hinging on Gu Hang’s potential… or rather, his spiritual power.

If just limited like this, then the Alliance Fleet truly came seeking death.

But, since Gu Hang didn’t give the order to retreat after discovering something was amiss, and continued the battle, it naturally meant that he had found a way to crack it.

“Let me see what exactly you are… Alright, found it.”

Located on the War Ark ’Alfonso II,’ Gu Hang saw Sage Dubo, and also saw a huge Brain Bug Tyrant imprisoned inside a machine.
