The genius who counterattacked the mainland

"We try to adjust the energy fluctuations of these nebula energy gathering points, maybe we can solve the problem." A Gang said, stretching out his hand to try to touch the nebula energy gathering point, but as soon as he got close, a strong electric-like energy spread along his arm throughout his body. He quickly withdrew his hand, and the hairs on his arms stood up.

"This energy is extremely violent. We can't act rashly." Xu Tiancai frowned, carefully observing the situation around the energy core. Those nebula energy concentration points were like shimmering, colorful vortices, each containing a powerful and unstable force. They intertwined with the power system's wiring, as if they could shatter the entire system at any moment.

Lin cast a detection spell. A soft light emanated from her palm, enveloping the energy core and the nebula energy concentration points. Under the spell's influence, energy veins imperceptible to the naked eye gradually emerged. "These nebula energy concentration points appear to be connected to the rest of the airship through unique veins. Changing their energy fluctuations could affect the overall balance of the airship," Lin said, her voice tinged with solemnity.

Xu Tiancai pondered for a moment, then said, "We need to first find the key nodes of these veins and see if we can stabilize the energy by controlling the nodes." So they began to search along those vague energy veins.

In a narrow corner of the airship, they discovered a node emitting an intense glow. This node resembled a sphere woven from countless tiny energy threads, each a rainbow of colors representing different energy properties. The sphere flickered continuously, each flicker accompanied by a wave of energy that traveled along the veins to every part of the airship.

"This is the node. It's the key to the interaction between the nebula's energy and the airship system," Xu Tiancai said. He cautiously approached the node, attempting to use his stellar power to sense the energy patterns within. When the stellar power touched the node, he sensed a complex and chaotic flow of information, as if he were in a vortex of countless noisy sounds.

Ah Gang watched from the side, nervously gripping his giant axe. "How's it going? Can you handle it?" he asked. Xu Tiancai didn't answer. He was concentrating on sorting through the confusing information, trying to find a way to control the node.

Suddenly, the energy fluctuations at the node became extremely intense, and multicolored energy pulses rushed towards Xu Tiancai. Xu Tiancai quickly exerted his power, forming a light shield around himself. The light shield collided with the energy pulses, emitting a dazzling light and a deafening roar.

"This isn't good! This node seems to have a self-protection mechanism," Lin shouted. She quickly cast an ice spell, attempting to lower the node's temperature and slow its energy fluctuations. An icy-blue light enveloped the node, and frost began to form on the surrounding equipment, but the node's energy fluctuations only weakened slightly.

Seeing this, A-Gang raised his great axe and rushed forward. He seized the gap in the energy pulse and slashed fiercely at the node. The axe struck the energy shield surrounding the node, sending up a shower of colorful sparks. The powerful recoil forced A-Gang back several steps. "This shield is very strong. We need to find another way," A-Gang said.

Xu Tiancai took a deep breath and decided to take a chance. He combined the power of the stars, the power of the phoenix, his newly acquired strength, and the power of the armor, then slowly injected this powerful force into the node. It was like pouring an even stronger force into a turbulent river, trying to change its direction.

As the power was injected, the energy fluctuations at the nodes became more violent, and the entire airship began to shake violently. Lin and Agang struggled to steady themselves, looking at Xu Tiancai with worry in their eyes. But Xu Tiancai didn't give up. He gritted his teeth and continued to control the injection of power.

Under the powerful impact of Xu Tiancai's force, the node's self-protection mechanism began to show a flaw. He keenly noticed this and quickly redirected his force, charging towards the flaw. This time, he successfully broke through the node's defenses and entered its internal energy structure.

Inside the node, Xu Tiancai witnessed a bizarre scene. It was a microscopic world composed of energy, with countless energy particles twinkling like stars. They arranged and moved according to certain patterns, forming complex energy circuits. The nebula energy was like an intruder, disrupting the original order.

Xu Tiancai carefully used his power to guide the chaotic nebula energy back into a relatively stable orbit. This was an extremely delicate task, like walking a tightrope; the slightest mistake would result in all the previous efforts being wasted.

After much effort, Xu Tiancai finally succeeded in adjusting the fluctuations in the nebula's energy within the node. The node's light gradually stabilized, no longer as violent as before. The airship's shaking also ceased, and the surrounding energy veins resumed their normal flow.

"Huh, finally done." Xu Tiancai breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew his power from the node. He felt that his mental and physical strength had been greatly depleted, but seeing the airship return to normal, he felt that it was all worth it.

"Well done, genius!" Gang patted Xu Tiancai on the shoulder and grinned. Lin also smiled with relief. "Now we can move on."

They restarted the airship and continued to sail towards the source of the dark power. During the voyage, the energy of the nebula still provided a strong boost to the airship, but after adjustments this time, the airship operated more stably.

However, not long after, the airship's detection system sounded another alarm. "A massive energy fluctuation source has appeared ahead, like some powerful celestial body," Lin said, reviewing the detection results. They looked ahead and saw a massive sphere in the distance, radiating a dazzling light. This light contained a variety of colored energies, like a multicolored sun in the universe.

"What is this? It looks unusual," Agang said, frowning. As the airship approached, they discovered several small, satellite-like objects orbiting the giant sphere. These small objects were covered in strange patterns and glowing lights, seemingly connected to the sphere by some mysterious energy.

"We need to approach carefully and figure out what this thing is before making any decisions," Xu Tiancai said. They slowed the airship and cautiously headed towards the giant sphere.

As the airship approached one of the small celestial bodies, it suddenly released a powerful energy beam, shooting towards the airship. Xu Tiancai quickly exerted his power, forming a light shield around the airship. The shield and the energy beam collided with a deafening roar, and ripples appeared on the shield.

"It seems these small celestial bodies are protecting the giant sphere. They won't let us get close easily," Lin said. "Then let's deal with these small celestial bodies first." Agang brandished his giant axe, ready to fight.

They piloted the airship toward the small celestial bodies. As they approached, more of them released energy beams, forming a dense attack network. Xu Tiancai and his companions fought back fiercely, exerting their full strength, constantly strengthening the light shield's defenses and looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Xu Tiancai combined all his strength and fired a multicolored beam at one of the small celestial bodies. The beam struck the small celestial body, leaving a burn mark on its surface, but the small celestial body was not seriously damaged. The lines on its surface began to flicker, as if preparing for a more powerful counterattack.

A-Gang spotted a gap in the energy beams emitted by a small celestial body and charged towards it. As he neared the small object, he brought his great axe down fiercely on its surface. The axe struck the small object, splashing a burst of colorful light and creating a crack on its surface. Under attack, the small object began to emit a powerful energy magnetic field, attempting to draw A-Gang in. A-Gang felt as if his body were being pressed down by a mountain, unable to move.

Seeing this, Lin cast an ice spell, firing a series of ice arrows at the small celestial body's energy field. After the ice arrows hit the energy field, they condensed into a layer of frost, slightly weakening the field's power. Ah Gang seized the opportunity to break free from the energy field and quickly returned to the airship.

"These small celestial bodies not only possess powerful offensive capabilities, but also possess a variety of bizarre defenses and counterattacks," Xu Tiancai said. "We need to find a way to break through their defenses and eliminate them all at once."

During his observations, Xu Tiancai discovered that when small celestial bodies launched attacks and released their energy magnetic fields, there was a brief delay in the energy fluctuations in their cores. "Attack their cores! There's an attack delay there!" Xu Tiancai shouted.

Upon hearing his cry, his teammates immediately adjusted their tactics. Lin cast a massive spell, enveloping the surrounding small celestial bodies in an energy field. This field disrupted the small celestial bodies' energy beams, buying them time to strike their cores. A-Gang zeroed in on the core of a small celestial body and charged towards it. As he neared the core, he unleashed the lightning power of his great axe to its fullest, striking fiercely. The impact sent the small celestial body trembling violently, its offensive and defensive actions thrown into disarray.

Xu Tiancai and his teammates seized the opportunity to attack the cores of the other small celestial bodies. Under their combined attack, the small celestial bodies were destroyed one after another, their bodies transforming into streaks of light and disappearing into the universe.

After dealing with the small celestial bodies, they continued to approach the giant sphere. As they approached the giant sphere, they felt an extremely powerful pressure from the energy. The surface of the giant sphere seemed to be composed of a layer of flowing energy, which was constantly rolling and changing, presenting a variety of wonderful scenes.

"What exactly is this giant sphere? Is it some kind of natural celestial body or man-made?" Lin asked curiously. "Whatever it is, we must be careful," Xu Tiancai said.

They flew around the giant sphere in an airship, trying to find a way to enter it. During their flight, they discovered some periodic energy vortices on the sphere. These energy vortices seemed like portals to the interior of the sphere, but their energy was extremely strong and unstable.

"These energy vortexes may be our only way to enter the sphere, but entering rashly could be dangerous," Xu Tiancai said. They observed the energy vortexes for a while, trying to find a safe way to enter.

During his observations, Xu Tiancai discovered that when the energy vortex's energy fluctuations were at their weakest, a relatively stable channel would briefly appear. "When the energy vortex's fluctuations are at their weakest, we'll rush in," Xu Tiancai said.

They waited patiently for their chance. Finally, the energy fluctuations of one of the energy vortexes began to weaken, revealing a passageway shimmering with faint light. "Now!" Xu Tiancai shouted. They piloted the airship and rushed into the passageway.

After the airship entered the energy vortex, it was surrounded by a world of dazzling light. The light surged like a tide, and they felt as if they were traveling through a tunnel made of energy. The airship swayed violently in the tunnel, and they had to exert all their strength to maintain its stability.

After an unknown amount of time, the airship finally emerged from the tunnel and entered the interior of the massive sphere. This was a vast and mysterious space, filled with all sorts of bizarre energy structures and lights. Some structures resembled enormous crystal trees, their branches laden with gleaming fruit; others resembled cities suspended in mid-air, filled with intricate buildings and energy networks.

"This is simply a mysterious world of energy." Ah Gang looked around in amazement. "We must explore carefully, there may be many dangers hidden here," Xu Tiancai said.

They flew through this space in an airship, searching for clues that might be related to the source of dark forces. During their flight, they discovered several flying energy creatures. These energy creatures were composed of pure energy and had various shapes, some resembling beautiful butterflies and others like fierce birds.
