Chapter 2788: Star Ray
As the Lisan Universe fought against the Garisan Forces, Gragatou and Kafan watched everything with Soul Gem and a few other experts who were helping with the strategies. "Things are going better than expected..." Gragatou couldn't help but mention.
"We have the home advantage and we built plenty of traps while the war didn't start," Soul Gem mentioned. Every time we force the enemies to retreat in the several areas in our control, the Formations Master Group quickly takes the opportunity to rebuild everything. We have our entire Universe's resources at our disposal. They, on the other hand, don't. Things will only get better as time passes."
Soul Gem then glanced in a certain direction in the middle of the various battlefields covered in his Divine Sense. "Above all, we don't need to release that thing."
Kafan narrowed his eyes. "It is obvious that they didn't expect such resistance from
us. However, I don't think things will continue this easily until the end."
As if answering Kafan's words, changes began to happen in the formation of Spaceships on the enemies' side. "They are doing something."
Five of the spaceships separated themselves from the fleet, getting close to each other in a circular formation. They were enormous, so such a change still took almost thirty minutes. At the same time they moved, the rest of the fleet did the same. They all created another circular formation around those five spaceships. Looking from afar, one would notice two rings. One small one in the center was made by the five initial Spaceships, and a much bigger one, made by the rest of the fleet.
"Are they planning to attack?" Gragatou narrowed his eyes and prepared to sound the retreat.
"That doesn't make sense," Kafan shook his head. "Their Armies would be in the line of fire. Would they take down their own forces just to kill ours?"
Yet, as soon as Kafan said those words, countless Spatial Runes began to appear all around the armies of the Garisan Universe. Flashes of silver light covered everyone's visions as the armies of Garisan disappeared in mid-space, being summoned back to their own ships.
"Then can do that?!" Kafan was shocked. The battles were creating an extremely chaotic Space. Teleporting in this condition would most likely get you lost in space. You could end up anywhere in the Universe as a response. And yet, that's exactly what was happening.
"We let our guards down," Soul Gem narrowed his eyes. "Sound the retreat! Tell everyone to spread. Just because we can't teleport in the middle of a chaotic space, it doesn't mean the Garisan Universe can't do it. All those runes were most likely created for this specific strategy."
Flavio watched through the monitors and noticed the chances in the Lisan Universe armies. "Hmph! Too late! Do you really think you can escape now?"
The five Spaceship in the center began to shine with powerful Black and White Lights. The Universe Foundation Fragments that powered those ships released an unimaginable amount of energy. But there was a cost. The fragments themselves, once part of other Universes that had been destroyed, also began to crack.
Outside, everyone saw the two rings created by the spaceships in the distance charging. The ships on the outside acted as a suppressing force, impeding the power of the five central ships from escaping.
Soul Gem gritted his teeth. "Do it!"
Immediately, several other orders were passed to all Divinity and Space-Time Realm experts on the battlefield. They all dropped everything they were doing and pulled countless experts into their own Pocket Dimensional Realms. Each one of them only cared about the experts in their surroundings. Once they pulled everyone, they instantly flew away.
In just a few seconds, huge chunks of experts disappeared one after another. It was a coordinated effort that once again made Flavio open his mouth wide in his room. "Impossible! To bring the experts into Pocket Dimensional Realms, those experts would need to trust the other experts who were taking everyone inside. First of all, they could not fight against the Spatial Powers in their surroundings, which would leave them vulnerable to their enemies. How can they achieve that?!"
The reason for that question was very simple. First, the idea was to use this method to save as many experts as possible in case they found themselves in a losing battle. Even if the low- level experts became vulnerable for a moment, on the grand scale of things, they would have a better chance of survival if they trusted the high-level experts who were pulling everyone into their Pocket Dimensional Realms. By doing that, their army would be able to retreat and save many lives.
That's why Soul Gem made it clear to everyone that once the retreat order was given, no one was to fight against the spatial pulls. If they did, THEY WOULD be left behind. It wasn't even an issue of trust any more. If someone with a low cultivation stayed behind, he most likely would die anyway. It was a question of survival. Leaving their fates up to the High-Level Experts was their best chance to leave the place alive.
And yet, no one expected it would be used at such a moment, including Soul Gem. That's because this retreat strategy was planned to be done in the midst of a chaotic battle against the forces of Garisan. No doubt many casualties would take place as their allies made themselves vulnerable to Spatial Forces. But... the Garisan Forces were teleported away just a moment ago! In the end, there wasn't anyone to worry about, so the High-Level Experts were able to easily pull billions of lower-level ones into their Pocket Dimensional Realms without risks.
In the next few seconds, all the Divinity and Space-Time Realm experts charged out of the range of the laser. There wasn't anyone there to stop them, so it was quite easy. "Stop the charge!" Flavio noticed that the plan to eliminate most of the Lisan Forces would not work and immediately ordered. However...
"It's impossible, sir!" One of the subordinates answered. "Once the Star Ray is initiated, there is no coming back. We need to break the Fragments to make it possible. Stopping now would just cause those five Spaceships to explode in the middle of our fleet. We have to shoot!"
"FUCK!"
And so... the Star Ray shot!
