Gao Wu: You have science, and I have magic!

When the antimatter cloud of the Tianshu defense satellite was torn apart, Shenzhao's Holy Light Fleet pierced into the star ring like a gilded spear.

Seventy-two prism battleships were arranged in a six-winged angel formation. Each beam of light from the bow was engraved with the holy mark of the super-dimensional civilization, drawing a burning path in the universe.

"In the name of the source fire, purify the unclean things."

The red lotus battle skirt of the Seraph mecha unfolded in the light of transition, and the Michael-class light spear pierced through the three interceptor missiles.

The pilot's name was Cecilia, her long fiery red hair floating in the neuronutrient solution, and behind her were six pairs of dazzling light wings.

Each feather of the Light Wing is made of antimatter. When waved, it can cut space into burning prism shapes, layer upon layer, with great power.

"The reaction of the Tianwu mecha has been detected. Coordinates: Tianshu Star's third hangar."

The co-pilot tapped the Source Fire Pendant on his chest and immediately issued a combat order: "The Holy See has ordered that the Transdimensional Core must be recovered. The divine light is shining on us."

Cecilia's pupils reflected the thermal image of Suanni Jinyan, and her fingertips drew the trajectory of the holy marks on the operating panel.

The light wings of the Seraph mecha suddenly burst out with light like a solar flare, and the entire body turned into a meteor and broke through the atmosphere. Wherever the light spear passed, Xiao Zhanting's air defense matrix collapsed like paper.

Ye Qingzhou controlled Suanni to raise his arm. On the surface of the silver-white armor, red energy patterns burst into dazzling light. Then the atomic flames that burst out collided violently with the light spear. The earth-shaking blow made the entire battlefield look sideways.

Divine thoughts and consciousness were continuously released through the mental skeleton, and Ye Qingzhou immediately felt Cecilia's mental power flowing like liquid gold.

That is Shen Zhao's unique ability, called "Resonance of the Holy Word" - it can transform prayer into a spiritual force field, and every prayer recited will turn into a sharp blade that pierces the soul.

"Immediately activate the 'Starry Sky Box' of Tianshu Star!"

Xiao Zhanyun gave the order, and in order to repel the enemy, he was willing to use strategic weapons.

Meanwhile, in the sky above Tianshu Star, a fierce mecha battle was going on. Cecilia's light spear pierced through Suanni's shoulder, but the aftermath of the atomic flame burned a hole in her light wings.

For the first time, the ace pilot showed surprise: "You can actually control the super-dimensional core with your mortal body?"

"It's not about control, it's about the resonance of the will of martial arts."

Ye Qingzhou's sword intent followed the spear of light upstream, weaving a sword net in Cecilia's spiritual force field: "The 'holy relic' that you Shenzhao has been looking for is nothing more than a fragment of the origin of the Great Dao from a certain era."

The activation light of the Starry Sky Box illuminated the surface of the earth, and Xiao Zhanting finally revealed his ferocious face: "Since none of you want to live - let's go to hell together!"

He pressed the self-destruct button, and the antimatter reactor at the core of Tianshu began to go out of control, and the entire planet was about to turn into a supernova.

Cecilia's light wings suddenly turned, and the Seraph mecha cut into the battlefield at an angle that violated the laws of physics, and the light spear pierced into the crack of the reactor: "Source Fire Blessing, Freeze Time and Space!"

The resonance of her Holy Word reached its limit, and her six wings spread out into a complete circle, compressing the explosive energy into a cocoon of light.

"Ye Qingzhou! Use the sword intent to stabilize the space crack!"

Chu Yao's voice was filled with tears, and the fragments of the super-dimensional core were burning in her palm. "Father said that the super-dimensional core can connect to the origin of the world!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhou closed his eyes and allowed the sword intent to merge with the super-dimensional core energy of the core of the Suanni.

When he opened his eyes again, the star map of the thirty-six heavens was flowing in his pupils and numerous shadows appeared behind the mecha.

The fingertips of Suanni touched the center of the light cocoon. At the moment when the true meaning of martial arts collided with the power of source fire, the flow of time on the entire Tianshu Star was forcibly slowed down.

Xiao Zhanting widened his eyes in the stagnant time and space, and saw the super-dimensional core fragment inside the pocket watch that Chu's father took out, and another super-dimensional core fragment was embedded in Cecilia's Source Fire Pendant.

The three forces are now fighting for the holy relics left behind by the super-dimensional beings, but they are unaware that they have already become pawns in a higher-dimensional chess game.

"Collecting hyperdimensional cores... Is this the content of the first level of the test?"

Ye Qingzhou was thoughtful.
When the antimatter energy was exhausted, the surface of Tianshu was riddled with holes.

Cecilia's Seraph mecha knelt on one knee, its wings shattered into thousands of light points, and its fiery red hair turned silver-white.

She took off her helmet, with an unprecedented look of dejection in her eyes: "I failed. I failed to bring back the holy relic."

Father Chu picked up the Star Alliance chip left by Xiao Zhanyun, on which there was an incredible cloud of liquid particles flowing.

Ye Qingzhou supported Chu Yao and walked towards the Xingyao. Behind the Suanni Jinyan, the super-dimensional core seedling was breaking out of the antimatter ruins, and its roots were entangled with the Shenzhao Light Prism Battleship and the Star Alliance's biochemical mecha.

The war came to an end, but a few days later, a new threat came again.

When the alarm of the Star Glory rang throughout the corridor, Ye Qingzhou was in the medical cabin replacing the biological gel on his arm.

The wound left by the fierce battle on Tianshu Star three days ago was still aching. The resonance between the super-dimensional core and the martial arts will made his cells regenerate ten times faster than that of ordinary people, but the antimatter burns still required special treatment.

"Enemy attack! Shenzhao Second Fleet breaks through the outer defense line!"

Chu Yao's voice came through the communicator, with a harsh metal tearing sound in the background. The situation was obviously not optimistic: "This time the enemy brought the Ba Xia Qing Cang that was snatched from Tianyou Star!"

Ye Qingzhou pulled off the medical armband, and the biological gel pulled out long and thin silver threads in the air.

As he rushed towards the hangar, he saw the flames exploding outside the porthole like a flare from a burning sun - that was the last frigate of Tianshu Star disintegrating under Shenzhao's particle cannon.

Farther away, seventy-two gilded warships were arranged in a crown of thorns formation. The dark gray mecha in the center was like a giant mountain turtle in ancient mythology, and its back armor was slowly unfolding.

"Can the Suanni still be activated?"

Ye Qingzhou jumped into the cockpit, and the neural connection cable automatically found the interface at the back of his neck.

A faint hum came from the core of the mecha, and the holographic screen showed that only 37% of the energy was left. The particle cannon on the left arm was completely destroyed. It was obvious that although Ye Qingzhou won the battle three days ago, he also paid a terrible price.

Chu Yao's projection appeared above the operating table, holding the glowing Star Alliance chip in her hand: "Father hid something in the chip, it's a star map of a super-dimensional civilization..."

She was interrupted by a violent tremor, and the entire hangar tilted fifteen degrees.

"I'll tell you what you need later."

Ye Qingzhou hurriedly activated the mecha with the resonance of sword intent, and saw that Suanni Jinyan's eyes suddenly lit up with red light, and the energy patterns flowing between the gaps in the armor turned from silver to dark gold.

The moment Ye Qingzhou grasped the joystick, the will of martial arts resonated with the super-dimensional core, and the shadow of the thirty-six-layer star map appeared in the cockpit.

Ba Xia Qing Cang's first attack destroyed one third of the Xingyao's shield energy.

This is a behemoth weighing 800 tons, with twelve gravity anchors shot out from the shield array on its back, each dragging a distorted halo like a miniature black hole.

Ye Qingzhou controlled Suanni to dodge quickly using the "Swallow Return" technique, but four anchor chains still brushed against the legs of the mecha, and the nano armor immediately shattered like fragile glass.

"Gravity anchoring system activated." On the flagship of the Divine Fleet, the Holy Judgment, the silver mask of Chief Judge Augustus reflected a cold light.

He is a renowned ace pilot on the battlefield, and at this moment he is directly controlling the Baxia through a neural link. Every movement he makes is so precise that it is frightening.

"Let these heretics have a taste of what it's like to be crushed by their own home planet."

Ye Qingzhou suddenly felt that the joystick became extremely heavy.

The gravity waves released by Ba Xia's feet changed the orbit of the Tianshu Star debris. Millions of tons of metal and rock were kneaded as if by invisible hands, forming a death vortex with a diameter of tens of kilometers that pressed towards Suanni.

Ye Qingzhou tried to use atomic flames to clear a path, but the energy output was interfered with by some force field, and the pillar of fire dissipated into light particles all over the sky after shooting out a hundred meters.

"The resonance rate of the hyperdimensional core has dropped to 21%..."

Chu Yao's voice was mixed with the noise of electricity.

The Starry Sky was using its last bit of energy to maintain its protective shield, but the Divine Light Prism battleship had already aimed its guns at the engine room.

Just when Ye Qingzhou was about to be swallowed by the vortex of star remains, a beam of golden light pierced through the battlefield.

In full view of everyone, the beam of light suddenly split into hundreds of golden threads as it approached Suanni, each of which precisely wrapped around the flying metal fragments.

Ye Qingzhou's neural connection suddenly captured a familiar fluctuation - it was the resonance of Cecilia's holy words!

But it is more violent and unstable than before.

"traitor!"

Augustus's roar exploded through the public channel.

The shield array on Ba Xia's back was fully deployed, forming an absolute defense circle with a diameter of 300 meters.

In the twisted ripples of the force field, Ye Qingzhou saw a pure white mecha rushing out from behind the Shenzhao fleet. It did not have the iconic six wings of the Seraph, but the light blades extending from its arms were madly devouring the surrounding frigates.

Cecilia's voice suddenly cut into the encrypted channel: "Ye Qingzhou, Ba Xia's gravity anchor needs to be recalibrated every 90 seconds, and the next interval is... now!"

Her voice was a painful gasp, as if each word was burning her throat.

Ye Qingzhou took action without any hesitation.

The super-dimensional core seedling behind Suanni suddenly burst into a dazzling blue light, and the mecha injected all the remaining energy into the leg thrusters in a nearly self-destructive manner.

In the 0.7 seconds when the gravity anchor failed briefly, Suanni turned into a red-gold lightning and broke into Baxia's defense circle, and the atomic flame knife in his right arm pierced straight into the cockpit!
Augustus sneered, and the armor on Baxia's chest suddenly cracked, revealing a diamond-shaped device inlaid with super-dimensional core fragments.

The moment the two super-dimensional energies collided, the flow of time in the entire battlefield suddenly slowed down.

Ye Qingzhou saw the flying metal fragments solidified in the air, the flames of the explosion froze into strange sculptures, but his own thoughts were running at a thousand times the speed.

He saw Cecilia imprisoned in the detention room of the Holy Judgment, and the Shenzhao priest tortured her with electrified scripture chains; he saw the Star Alliance chip in Chu Yao's hand projecting an ever-changing star map, and a certain coordinate was emitting regular pulses; even more terrifying was that from a higher dimensional perspective, the battle trajectory of Ba Xia and Suanni formed a perfect Möbius strip, as if this fight had already been written on the background of time and space.

"This is... the super-dimensional horizon?"

Ye Qingzhou's consciousness floated in the cracks of time.

Suddenly, he sensed Cecilia's spiritual fluctuations. The liquid gold-like energy of the holy words was resonating with his own martial arts truth through some kind of quantum entanglement.

In that instant in the real world, for the mecha warriors it was like experiencing several hours of deep mental fusion.

When the flow of time returned to normal, an incredible scene appeared on the battlefield: Baxia's gravity anchor suddenly changed direction and locked onto its own flagship, while Suanni's atomic flame sword was wrapped with Shenzhao's unique source fire power.

Cracks appeared on Augustus' silver mask, revealing a horrifying face that was a mixture of machinery and flesh.

"How dare you desecrate the holy weapon..."

His voice was suddenly covered by harsh electronic noise.

The entire gravity control system of Baxia Qingcang began to overload, and strange purple flames spewed out from the gaps in the armor.

Cecilia attacked from the flank in a pure white "Holy Judge" mecha, and the light blade pierced into the main energy pipeline on Ba Xia's back.

"It's now!"

Her roar exploded in the channel.

Ye Qingzhou controlled Suanni and poured all the true meaning of martial arts into his right fist. The blue light of the super-dimensional core and the golden and red source fire intertwined into a spiral, and pierced through the cockpit of Baxia in one blow!

The energy shock wave from the explosion cleared all the warship wreckage within a ten-kilometer radius.

When the light faded, the Shenzhao fleet was retreating in panic, and only half of Baxia Qingcang's torso was left floating in space, its limbs and head armor turned into a metal meteor shower and fell towards the surface of Tianshu Star.

The Holy Judge landed next to Suanni. The moment the cockpit popped open, Ye Qingzhou saw that Cecilia's fiery red hair had turned completely white, and there were golden bloodshot in the corners of her eyes, but her gaze was clearer than ever.

"Augustus has fled..."

After that, she threw a data crystal to Ye Qingzhou: "It contains all the super-dimensional core coordinates collected by Shenzhao. The ascetic group within Shenzhao wants to provoke a cosmic war. I hope you can stop this from happening."

Chu Yao's communication suddenly cut in: "Qingzhou! The chip analysis is complete! The star map left by my father points to the Cygnus β-307 star field, where there is..."

Then her voice suddenly became horrified: "There is a living super-dimensional consciousness!"

Cecilia's pupils contracted violently, and the stigma on the back of her neck suddenly began to glow.

Ye Qingzhou felt that the super-dimensional core implant on the back of his neck was also getting hot, and the two completely different energies produced harmonious vibrations in resonance.

In the brief spiritual connection, he saw the scene deep in Cecilia's memory - the holy relic enshrined in the basement of the Cathedral of Divine Illumination turned out to be a giant humanoid creature wrapped in liquid metal!

It has an extra-dimensional core embedded in its chest, and it cries like a baby whenever it prays.

“I want to end endless wars.”

Cecilia wiped the golden blood from the corner of her mouth, and the Holy Judge pointed the blade of light at the starry sky. "Whether it is the Divine Light, the Star Alliance, or the Human Alliance, there are countless people who are longing for the permanent arrival of peace."

The wreckage of the Star Glory was burning behind them. Chu Yao ran towards them holding a data terminal, and the increasingly bright coordinate point on the star map was reflected in her eyes.

Ye Qingzhou looked out the window at the boundless starry sky, and suddenly realized that all this was just beginning - what was waiting for them in Cygnus β-307 might be the truth, or it might be a deeper trap. (End of this chapter)
