Chapter 538: Breakthrough
Force is mutual. Although the Primordial Body projectiles had undergone some targeted upgrades in armor compared to ordinary Primordial Bodies, allowing them to withstand minor collisions during flight, they couldn’t ignore the metal shield formed by tens of thousands of unmanned drones.
The collision in space was silent, but the scene was gruesome. The Primordial Body projectile was instantly shattered into scattered biological tissue. Some of the Mature bodies and Larval bodies inside managed to survive, only to be torn apart by the scattered metal debris from the unmanned drones.
However, no matter how much they tried to defend, there were always moments when they couldn’t cover everything. The unmanned drone squadrons struggled to intercept each Primordial Body projectile, but the Desolation-Class Motherships’ rapid-fire mode showed no signs of stopping.
Finally, one Primordial Body projectile broke through the multiple layers of defense and approached the Yuntu fleet. When it was only thirty thousand kilometers away, the projectile suddenly unfurled its coiled body, bursting with dazzling blue electric arcs as its propulsion modules activated at full power.
The Primordial Body projectile was simply too fast. The thirty-thousand-kilometer braking distance generated such a strong counterforce that it nearly crushed itself. However, during its deceleration, it encountered the Yuntu fleet’s final line of resistance.
The Yuntu ships’ secondary cannons finally found their use. The fire control systems locked onto the decelerating Primordial Body, and thousands of cannons fired simultaneously! The first Primordial Body projectile to break through the unmanned drone defense line received the VIP treatment.
The Yuntu Race’s technology was indeed advanced. Even their secondary ship cannons utilized dark energy technology. This made it impossible for the Primordial Body biological armor, which could withstand ordinary energy-based secondary cannons, to survive this barrage.
Dodging was out of the question. In the face of such saturation fire, any attempt to maneuver was futile. However, just before the barrage hit, the Primordial Body projectile opened its storage sacs, releasing the Mature bodies and Larval bodies inside.
Tens of thousands of cannon shots arrived, instantly reducing the Primordial Body to dust. Due to the wide coverage of the barrage, most of the released Mature bodies and Larval bodies were also annihilated.
