Captain, your ship has exploded again.

"I told you before, fill the gaps, fill the gaps. Your heavy equipment is for picking off enemies, don't try to charge in and board every time!"

Zhang Xun angrily hung up on Wang Ge's communication. At this time, the number of warships he had on the battlefield had been reduced to 460,000.

While a casualty count of around 140,000 may not seem high, for the side with defensive fortifications, the fact that 140,000 combat units were wiped out in less than three minutes of contact is quite alarming.

"Anti-beam missiles, tenth wave launched. All defensive fortifications begin to contract..."

Before Natal could finish giving her command, a Gauss gun accurately struck Death Star II.

If it were an attack launched by a battleship with a range of only two kilometers, the alloy nail would be at most a few hundred meters long. However, this alloy nail was nearly a kilometer long. Its enormous physical properties directly tore through the composite armor on one side, and even the interior was destroyed due to the flying fragments.

But none of that mattered. A violent tremor shook most of the people in the command room, causing them to stagger.

Isaac, who had already strapped himself into his chair, shouted: "Ammunition depot number 76 has exploded, and three nearby flight decks have been damaged. T1042, T1173, and G2033 have initiated emergency procedures. The frigate's repair and replenishment capabilities have decreased by 14.7 percent. The damage control team is already insufficient!"

"Damn it, where's Sun Hui? Summon her back, activate the human cannon, and have her dismantle the enemy's broken modular turrets!"

Zhang Xun looked at the blood on Natal's head with some heartache. Because Natal had overworked her brain, her helmet was removed during the rescue. However, the enemy's main fleet arrived too quickly, catching everyone off guard.

This directly resulted in Natal being injured the moment she stood up to give orders because she wasn't wearing a helmet.

Marcus hesitated for a moment before saying, "We just finished retrieving Sun Hui, she's replenishing her energy, and the Sky-Piercing Saint..."

"Let the Sky-Supporting Saint die. If it is too damaged to fight, my furnace will melt down this piece of junk."

"Have Zhao Wanyang give the experimental funds to Sun Hui. I want all the enemies on that artillery platform dead!"

Natal's injury caused Zhang Xun's anger to soar, and he went to the control panel to activate the Extreme Cold System of the Star Killer Cannon.

This reckless behavior was immediately stopped by Natal.

Unnatural cooling of any object alters its internal crystal structure, which not only makes metals brittle but also changes the permeability of electrons and energy.

If the Starkiller Cannon were to be put into cooldown now, it would still be able to fire one shot during the cooldown period, but the result would be that the core components would be completely destroyed.

"I'm fine. Hang in there, General Wu and the others will come to our aid."

Natal looked at Zhang Xun with a determined gaze. Even though General Wu Kedi hadn't trusted her before, as a soldier, Natal firmly believed that he would carry out the plan as previously stated, because only in this way could humanity have a chance to survive.

Seeing Natal's stubborn expression, Zhang Xun slowly raised his finger, which was about to press down, but he did not intend to let her off easily.

"Damn aliens, order Sun Hui to continue clearing out the enemy's outer warships and make all their attention focus on us. Zhao Wanyang, when will the new features of the Death Star be available? I don't want to be buried with a half-finished product."

Marcus, standing nearby, breathed a sigh of relief and launched Sun Hui with the Human Cannon. Although it could destroy the enemy's combined turrets, Sun Hui, surrounded by the enemy, would have a hard time returning and might even be lost in the enemy fleet.

Even if Zhang Xun and Wang Ge have a good relationship, they will still fall out, which may even cause the entire team to fall apart.

Thinking of this, Marcus secretly commanded the AI ​​within his body: "Earth Inquiry, immediately research a way to deal with the Four Evil Gods. If this continues, I'm really afraid the team won't be able to hold out for long."

As the command was given, the miniature core at Marcus's heart flickered twice, and a voice only he could hear replied: "Data parsing..."

At the same time, Zhao Wanyang's image also appeared on the small screen of the captain's console.

"That's just a verification function. Even if it's applied to Marcus's body and Marbus's weapons, it doesn't mean it's stable. Not to mention, it has half Imperial blood. If it causes problems with our strongest weapon, I don't have the ability to repair this big guy in a short time."

The moment the enemy fleet's main force appeared, Zhao Wanyang teleported back to the technical department to begin resupplying and repairing the fleet, because now, apart from the destroyed laboratory, the only other thing left on the Death Star was the puppet remote control equipment.

While everyone else was still confused, Zhang Xun opened the control panel on the captain's chair, which was covered with a dense array of buttons.

Although the team members all knew that the buttons there were Zhang Xun's tools for treachery, very few of them actually knew what each button did.

"Don't worry about it. Just make sure the Death Star doesn't explode. Hopefully, your new feature isn't a juicer. Everyone, activate your Warframe defensive mode!"

As everyone's armor transformed, Zhang Xun pressed an inconspicuous button.

Soon the entire command center split open from the center—yes, it split open neatly, and the entire command center, or rather the entire Death Star, began to deform.

The most surprised person was not the people in the command room, but Wang Ge, who had been sent out, who stared dumbfounded as the Death Star transformed.

"Holy crap, Zhang Xun is something else! He's playing with the Death Star like a life-size figure. Isn't he afraid of creating a King's Pyramid from Super Sentai? That thing looks so sluggish (meaning it moves slowly)."

Just as everyone guessed, Death Star II was transformed into a super variant by Zhang Xun. As the 200-kilometer spherical body fully unfolded, a humanoid machine nearly 400 kilometers tall appeared on the battlefield.

Because it was a small planetary-level fortress transformation, the enemy was stunned and even reduced their artillery fire, which allowed the Death Star to use nineteen AT field shields to withstand the attack and complete the transformation.

The reason why the Death Star was damaged by enemy ship-mounted Gauss guns was mainly because the enemy's firepower was too strong. The AT field shields deployed by the smaller units had to be reduced in size and increased in density to ensure that the shields would not be penetrated by a few shots.

Keep in mind that they are facing hundreds of millions of enemies. Even if each warship only has three main guns, and excluding more than 10% of the supply ships, it is still an extremely terrifying number. It is very important to rely on the remaining fortifications to reduce the area of ​​the AT field and enhance the defense.

The transformation of Death Star II was indeed unexpected, but Marcus, sitting in the new cockpit, and Wang Ge, who was still fighting outside, said the same thing at the same time.

"The humanoid transformation looks impressive, but without weapons, are you expecting to fight hand-to-hand? This isn't a one-sided affair." x2

Zhang Xun stretched out his fingers and pinched it, saying, "Shut up, Marcus. Your job is to ensure that all systems are working properly. I don't want to break its limbs myself."

As he spoke, Zhang Xun inserted the neural interface extending from his armor into the slot that appeared on the chair. Immediately afterward, his body convulsed, and Zhang Xun successfully merged with the Death Star.

"Natal provides the enemy's attack positions, and I need to avoid damaging the machine as much as possible. This thing doesn't have pain receptors for me to feel anything."

The little ones fused together to form an AT field shield on my left arm. As for the other vulnerable areas of my body, I used a full-protection shield deployed by the needle-point system.

Marcus scratched his head in frustration and said, "Hey Zhang Xun, we don't have fog weapons or ranged weapons! Are you going to use Iron Fist Strike?"

Zhang Xun shook his finger at Marcus, and the Death Star's super variant also shook its finger, saying, "Marcus, you Westerners always get anxious about strange things. If you don't take personal protective measures before a fight, no matter how sharp your weapon is, you're just a fragile person."

Upon hearing Zhang Xun's reply, Marcus, looking at the near-human attack from the opposite side, covered his face with his hands and said with a hint of despair, "This is war, not a brawl between two gangs. I don't want to see war star blades hundreds of meters or kilometers long. Can't we use something from real science?"

"Wow, you've watched a lot of Hong Kong movies! You even know about gangster films. But the Star Blade you mentioned is definitely worth considering, but right now!"

As he spoke, Zhang Xun activated the Death Star Super Variant and reached out to grab the Executor, which had just returned to take refuge.

Because Shen Yuexin was piloting it too recklessly, her hatred level, as the second largest warship in the entire fleet, far exceeded that of the Death Star, which ranked first.

Of course, this result came at a price. The Executor was badly damaged by her piloting, with only the ship's weapon systems remaining relatively intact. Even three of the ship's AT pilots, the young version of Rei Ayanami, died due to overload.

Before the Death Star super variant could seize the Executor, the already smoking warship began to transform.

"Zhang Xun, what are you doing! Why is my new Candle Dragon like this?"

Zhang Xun was speechless at the shamelessness of Shen Yuexin. Before the war, it was the Executor, but it has become the Candle Dragon in a short time. Will you have to change the furnishings inside after a while?

"Enough nonsense, that's my warship. If you want a new warship, I'll just build you one of the same class later. This is my new weapon!"

All the main guns on the Executor were reassembled into three 15-kilometer-long barrels. The top one was clearly a graviton reaction gun, while one of the two lower barrels was a Gauss type and the other was an antimatter gun.

The middle of the gun body is covered with numerous small protrusions, which, upon closer inspection, are missile compartments. However, there are extensive signs of damage elsewhere, indicating that the damage suffered before the transformation cannot be resolved by the transformation itself, which greatly reduces the power of this 19-kilometer-long weapon.

"Come on, you disgusting scum, let me show you my big gun. You'd better shut your mouths and wait to die, or you'll suffer a terrible death when the muzzle breaks your teeth and shoves the gun into your mouths."
