Global Era of Star trekking

Chapter 1848: Chapter 898: Multi-Dimensional Crystal Wall Corrupt Poison Mushroom

In the outside world, Song Chi remained unaware of everything that was happening. Under his control, the mirror image warship "Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong" moved like a silent stalker, struggling through the sticky and deadly dark green spore fog.

Replicating the "Alien Species Energy Purification Sculpture," the Absolute Purification Domain felt like a continuously eroding and regenerating bubble, isolating the endless viral spores outside, emitting a continuous, unsettling "sizzle" sound.

The deeper they went, the density and erosiveness of the spores grew exponentially, even evolving into various bizarre forms.

Sometimes they merged into a twisted ghostly face howling, sometimes transformed into tenacious biological tendrils trying to entangle the warship, and other times, they poured down like a rainstorm of active acid.

Under this frenzied and high-frequency erosion, the Purification Domain was under enormous load, which only the mirror image warship equipped with two Colorful Engines could sustain; otherwise, it would never have endured such consumption.

Besides, there was more bad news: the scanning range of the replicated "Eye of Truth" had been compressed to its limit, barely sketching out a few billion kilometers of vague outlines ahead.

Though the number seems large, for a spore nebula measured in light-years across, it was practically no different than being blind.

Fortunately, with accurate coordinates guiding him, the warship steadily moved towards the most intense and chaotic energy reaction core area of the spore nebula.

No one knew how much time had passed when suddenly, a silent roar—a violent energy shock more precisely—capable of tearing ordinary souls apart, transmitted through the spore fog.

Immediately after, an unimaginably enormous shadow surged forward from the front side.

It was an indescribable monster. One could vaguely discern the outlines of some kind of Starry Sky Behemoth, but its body had long been completely assimilated and mutated by dark green viral spores, covered with thick, ever-proliferating spore mats, forming tumor-like and pustule-like repulsive structures.

Parts that might once have been tentacles or limbs had now become whip-like objects, formed from solidified spore dust and violent energy, twisting unpredictably.

It emanated chaotic and ferocious mythical energy waves all over, yet its life form had entirely alienated, retaining only the most primitive instinct to devour and destroy.

—A mythical-grade giant beast, deeply infected and hideously mutated by spore virus.

This mutated giant beast clearly viewed the suddenly intruding mirror image warship as the greatest threat and most delicious prey, launching an attack without hesitation.

Its massive body stirred the sea of spore fog, a "arm" of concentrated viral spores and destructive energy fiercely smashed down.

Boom!

The energy shield of the mirror image warship rippled violently. Although not broken, it noticeably dimmed for a moment, and the warship’s internal alert system silently flashed.

"Tenth Rank Junior level of energy, but with traits of extreme life erosion and energy pollution in the attack..."

Through the soul link, Song Chi instantly assessed the situation, though he felt little concern. Whether the ordinary mythical power of a Tenth Rank Early Stage, even in a disadvantageous environment, he still believed the mirror image warship could handle it.

The warship quickly retaliated, the auxiliary cannon array lit up, and enhanced energy beams targeted those constantly proliferating "tumor" nodes on the mutated giant beast’s body. Meanwhile, with full maneuverability, the warship performed astounding evasive actions in the virus-laden space, dodging the mythical mutated beast’s frenzied onslaught and the spore spikes emerging from its body.

The battle was extremely intense, the mutated giant beast devoid of reason, indifferent to pain, attacking fiercely and straightforwardly. It could even draw from the endless spore fog around to replenish its consumption and repair damage.

The mirror image warship’s attacks often created massive wounds on its body, but countless spores quickly surged to fill them, allowing it to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, Song Chi, initially intending just to test his hand, decided not to entangle further, directly steering the mirror image warship away from the battlefield.

Although the Tenth Rank mythical virus-mutated giant beast’s power in the mythical tier was only ordinary, in this environment, eradicating it completely wasn’t feasible in a short time. The key moment lay in locating that mythical artifact. It was unwise to linger any longer.

In fact, Song Chi’s initial plan was different until he activated the replicated "Time Chess Board" feature of the "Twelve Lives Life and Death Chess." Though it was expected to work effectively even against Eleventh Rank mythical units, it unexpectedly faltered against the mythical mutated giant beast.

The effect was there but only weakened the layer of mutated viral spores on the beast’s surface. Before the mirror image warship could find a chance to attack, numerous viral spores surged from the dense fog, replenishing the spore layer mostly eradicated.

For this reason, since even replicating the "Time Chess Board" struggled to show its full effect, Song Chi decisively had the mirror image warship withdraw from the battlefield.

After a deft feint, the mirror image warship’s replicated "Void Cloud Boat Model" component was activated, and with a spatial fluctuation, the warship vanished from the battlefield, flash escaped several light-years away, intending to bypass the obstructing giant beast.

However, before Song Chi could relax, the replicated "Eye of Truth" alarm sounded sharply again—ahead, two forms with different shapes yet the same mythical mutated aura appeared.
