Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 75: Self-Destruct! Self-Destruct!

The 100 Droplet Hull Fragments were ready. After being processed under intense magnetic fields, extreme heat, and high pressure, these fragments were to be launched. Upon reaching the enemy flagship, they would unleash a force at least a thousand times greater than the maximum output of a standard energy cannon.

Xiao Yu hoped this devastating and unexpected attack would destroy the enemy flagship and eliminate the oppressive force field.

Sixty seconds passed. The energy cannons were primed and ready.

Xiao Yu silently awaited the perfect moment.

Guiding his fleet with calculated precision, Xiao Yu directed his ships to aggressively attack enemy vessels, drawing away any ships that might obstruct the line of fire between his City-Class ships and the enemy flagship. With his immense computational capabilities, Xiao Yu identified the fleeting opportunity. At the critical moment, the two City-Class ships simultaneously unleashed their most powerful energy weapons.

At that moment, there was no matter of any kind between Xingtai, Handan, and the enemy flagship. Even if the flagship detected the incoming energy projectiles through superluminal tracking systems, it had no means to counter them. There were no smaller ships it could sacrifice to shield itself, nor any evasive maneuvers it could employ in time.

The enemy flagship had no choice but to rely on its energy shield to withstand the two incoming energy projectiles!

Xiao Yu had sacrificed at least 3,000 ships to create this opportunity.

Before the two City-Class ships fired their energy projectiles, the twelve massive energy cannons from the Tianyuan C armed satellites had already launched their own shots. These projectiles were timed to converge with those from the City-Class ships, delivering a combined strike on the enemy flagship’s energy shield.

Through the omnipresent surveillance satellites, Xiao Yu kept a close watch on the movements of the enemy flagship.

This enormous ship, shrouded in a dim green glow, hovered in space like a harbinger of ruin and death—a veritable star of destruction. With over a thousand turrets on its body, it continuously unleashed devastating energy projectiles. Its overwhelming firepower meant that any area it entered was completely cleared of Xiao Yu’s ships within ten minutes.

Xiao Yu had previously sent a strike force consisting of five County-Class ships and a thousand Village- and Town-Class ships to try to overwhelm the flagship with sheer numbers. However, the closer they approached the flagship, the stronger the effects of the force field became. Before reaching optimal firing range, a quarter of the fleet was lost due to the force field. The remaining 700 ships were then caught in a fierce battle with the flagship’s escort fleet. Though they managed to destroy over 30 enemy Village-Class ships, the strike force was ultimately annihilated.

Not a single projectile from the strike force even reached the flagship.

This result left Xiao Yu bitterly cold. It solidified his determination to destroy the flagship at any cost, leading to his decision to sacrifice 3,000 ships to create an opportunity for his two City-Class ships to strike.

The Xingtai and Handan, positioned 42,000 kilometers from the flagship, prepared to unleash their most powerful projectiles. In just 0.3 seconds, these would reach their target.

Xiao Yu watched intently.

As the cannons of the two City-Class ships flashed, two azure-glowing energy projectiles streaked invisibly toward the enemy flagship. Midway, they converged with the twelve energy projectiles fired from the Tianyuan C base, forming a salvo of fourteen powerful projectiles aimed directly at the flagship’s energy shield.

In just 0.3 seconds, the fourteen projectiles struck the flagship’s shield.

What Xiao Yu witnessed next was astonishing.

This was the most powerful attack Xiao Yu had ever launched since leaving the solar system. Even the ten-projectile barrage against the Droplet paled in comparison.

[T/N: No clue what these ten-projectiles the author is talking about. I’m sure the strongest shot he did was using the protons from the collider but i’ll leave it as is just in case.]

The simultaneous detonation of the fourteen projectiles unleashed an immense energy storm that ravaged the void of space. Through his surveillance satellites, Xiao Yu even detected spatial distortions—a ripple, as if space itself had been affected.

At that moment, the flagship’s pale green shield turned a glaring white, its brightness increasing severalfold, resembling a sudden starburst.

Xiao Yu’s heart leaped with joy. He knew this was a sign the shield was about to collapse!

But his elation was short-lived. In the next instant, the shield dimmed and gradually reverted to its original pale green hue, albeit thinner than before. The flagship’s movements also slowed noticeably, and the force field’s intensity diminished significantly.

“Strike while the iron is hot!” Xiao Yu gritted his teeth. “Fourteen energy projectiles couldn’t kill you? I don’t believe it! Xingtai! Handan! Charge!”

Driven by desperation, Xiao Yu commanded the two fortress-class City-Class ships, accompanied by over a thousand escort ships, to close in on the flagship.

The Luka Civilization seemed to have finally realized the threat, as all their remaining ships began converging on the flagship to defend it. Undeterred, Xiao Yu ordered his remaining fleet of over 10,000 ships to launch a frenzied assault. The two City-Class ships threw caution to the wind, firing their energy cannons with reckless abandon.

The battle reached its fiercest intensity.

“Even if I lose all 10,000 ships here, I must destroy it! I still have 80,000 ships stationed at Tianyuan B and Tianyuan A. If these ships are lost, so be it—I can afford it!” Xiao Yu roared with unrelenting determination.

Xiao Yu’s relentless offensive resulted in jaw-dropping losses. Ships were being destroyed at an alarming rate.

A County-Class ship took a direct hit from an enemy energy projectile, leaving a massive hole in its hull. Nanorobots immediately began repairing the breach, but before the repairs could be completed, another projectile struck, obliterating the ship.

In its final moments, the doomed County-Class ship fired one last shot, destroying a heavily damaged Town-Class enemy ship with a weakened shield.

Xiao Yu’s ferocity forced the Luka Civilization into a defensive posture.

“Push forward! Push forward!” Xiao Yu commanded as the two City-Class ships, accompanied by their escorts, recklessly advanced toward the flagship, relentlessly firing their energy cannons.

Both City-Class ships sustained significant damage, with their mobility severely impaired.

Finally, as they closed to within just 100 kilometers of the flagship, the two City-Class ships reached their limit and lost propulsion.

“Well then, self-destruct! Self-destruct! Each of these City-Class ships carries over 20 billion tons of hydrogen bombs, along with massive nuclear fusion reactors. When they detonate, the force will rival the power of the Droplet Hull Fragments.”

“Go to hell!” Xiao Yu roared furiously.
