Chapter 672 Delving into Crisis and Unexpected Allies
As the energy convergence point was struck, the cracks at the bottom of the mysterious structure widened, and the leaking energy caused violent tremors in the surrounding space, making the purple mist even more turbulent. Lin Yu and the others stared intently at the structure, preparing for its possible counterattack. However, the anticipated frenzied attack did not materialize; the structure merely emitted a low hum, seemingly undergoing self-repair.
"It's trying to plug the energy leak!" Ellie said urgently, staring at the scan data. "We have to keep attacking before it finishes repairing!" The group quickly adjusted their weapons and launched another attack on the structure. However, this time the structure seemed to be prepared. As the attack approached, an even stronger energy shield suddenly appeared on its surface, blocking all the attacks.
With the attack thwarted, the atmosphere inside the spaceship grew tense. Just as everyone was considering a countermeasure, a series of static crackled through the communicator, followed by a strange yet wary voice: "Who are you? Why are you attacking this...this monster?" Lin Yu and Ellie exchanged a glance, and Lin Yu quickly replied, "We are an exploration team from the Cosmic Alliance, here to investigate this structure. It's threatening the entire galaxy. Who are you?"
After a brief silence, the other party replied, "We are the native inhabitants of this star system and have been resisting this monster, but our strength is too weak." Lin Yu's heart stirred, and he quickly said, "Since we share the same goal, why don't we join forces? Perhaps we can find a way to completely eliminate this structure." The other party hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to cooperate.
Guided by the natives, Lin Yu and his group arrived at their base, hidden on a desolate planet. While their technology couldn't compare to that of the Cosmic Alliance, their understanding of this mysterious structure far exceeded everyone's expectations. An elder from the natives named Tara explained the structure in detail to Lin Yu and the others: "This monster descended suddenly. After its arrival, it began frantically absorbing the planet's energy. We've tried various methods, but none have been able to stop it."
Ellie asked, "Have you discovered any weaknesses or other special features?" Elder Tara pondered for a moment and said, "We noticed that when this structure absorbs energy, it resonates with an ancient star at the center of the galaxy. Perhaps this star is the key."
Lin Yu and Ellie exchanged a glance, a glimmer of hope in their eyes. They immediately decided to head to the vicinity of that ancient star to investigate. As the spaceship approached the star, they discovered that the star's energy fluctuations were indeed closely linked to the structure. Moreover, a special type of energy crystal was being generated in large quantities around the star.
"These crystals seem to contain special substances that can neutralize the structure's energy," Ellie concluded through the analysis equipment. Lin Yu immediately ordered the crystals to be collected, preparing to use their power to attack the structure again.
Just as they were collecting the crystals, the structure seemed to sense the danger and launched another attack. Beams of energy shot towards the spaceship, and Lin Yu quickly maneuvered the ship to dodge, while simultaneously ordering his team to prepare for battle. However, this attack was far more intense than before, and the spaceship's shields teetered on the brink of collapse under the impact of the beams.
"This won't do! Our shields won't hold for long!" a team member shouted anxiously. At this critical moment, the natives arrived in their modified spaceships to provide support. Although their ships were inferior to Lin Yu's and the others in firepower and defense, their familiarity with the area allowed them to skillfully disrupt the structure's attacks, buying precious time for Lin Yu and his team.
With everyone's combined efforts, the spaceship finally completed crystal acquisition. Lin Yu quickly installed the crystal on the spaceship's weapon system, adjusted the energy output, and fired an energy beam containing a special substance at the structure. Upon hitting the structure, the beam produced an unexpected effect: the energy shield on the structure's surface began to rapidly disintegrate, and the cracks continued to widen…
