Apocalypse: My Items Can Upgrade Infinitely

However, with over a hundred Pulse Cannons firing at once, the fleet’s Tanks had no way to evade. They were highly likely to be hit by the electrical currents, which would damage their power systems and leave the Tier One Awakeners inside temporarily paralyzed.

Standing on the bow of the Dreadnought Battleship, more than twenty meters above the ground, Captain Chen Yanyan had a clear view of the Zerg Race’s powerful counterattack.

She also understood that the Hai City Mother Empress had opted for an all-or-nothing gambit, hoping to use this wave of saturation strikes to determine the final outcome of the battle against the human fleet.

Thus, the battle now hinged on who could withstand the initial onslaught.

Immediately, she took control of the Tanks, maneuvering them to tighten their formation and rally around the Dreadnought Battleship, concentrating their power.

At the same time, she activated the Dreadnought Battleship’s new Extra Attribute: Indestructible!

As the Dreadnought Battleship’s Range sharply decreased, the siphoned Energy transformed into a spherical Shield, continuously expanding until it finally enveloped the entire Battleship.

Just like the Flying Tiger Armor’s Absolute Defense, the invisible Energy Shield rippled like water’s surface. It looked as if it could be broken with a single touch, yet it could withstand a thousand points of Energy attack.

The Pulse War Scorpions’ Pulse Cannons dealt a maximum of just over nine hundred points of Damage at the epicenter of the blast, and this value dropped off sharply with distance.

When the majority of the hundred-plus Pulse Cannon blasts struck the Energy Shield surrounding the Dreadnought Battleship, countless electric arcs erupted across the surface of the three-hundred-meter-diameter sphere.

The Energy Shield absorbed the plasma from the Pulse Cannons. Some of it vaporized mid-air, leaving behind only the strange, sharp smell of ozone. The rest was channeled deep Underground, where it was absorbed by the earth.

But the spectacle of dozens of pulse blasts striking the Energy Shield was as breathtaking as it was terrifying.

Without the Shield’s protection, an attack of this magnitude could have instantly wiped out more than half the fleet!

The Flying Wing Tanks huddled close to the Dreadnought Battleship or hiding behind its stern had been lucky to escape.

The Warriors inside the tanks watched through their firing ports as thigh-thick arcs of electricity slammed against the Energy Shield. The bolts stabbed relentlessly into the invisible barrier, like demonic claws trying to tear through a net and reach the fleet inside...

Their faces went pale, and they all began to pray silently.

Only when the Energy Shield held firm and completely dissipated the energy from the Pulse Cannon volley did the terrified onlookers finally let out a collective sigh of relief.

However, their relief was short-lived. After withstanding dozens of Pulse Cannon blasts, the Shield shattered in an instant, and everyone grew tense once more.

Chen Yanyan frowned.

The Indestructible Energy Shield could last for five minutes, but that was only if it didn’t take any damage. Its Energy would naturally decay over time.

Withstanding dozens of Pulse Cannon blasts at once had completely drained its reserves.

Watching the Shield vanish, their brief sense of relief evaporated, replaced by renewed anxiety.

The next long-range volley from the charging Pulse War Scorpions would arrive in just over ten seconds.

Chen Yanyan immediately activated the Dreadnought Battleship’s Super Firepower attribute, commanding the ten Level 23 Battleship Heavy Cannons on the hull to swivel as one, aim at the Pulse War Scorpions’ position five kilometers away, and fire heavy shells that dealt up to 390 points of Damage.

Over the next ten seconds, they unleashed five volleys. Fifty 300mm heavy cannon shells rained down on the Pulse War Scorpion swarm like thunder. The shockwaves from the massive explosions interrupted their attempt to charge and aim a second volley.

Chen Yanyan knew that the Battleship Heavy Cannons alone wouldn’t be enough to annihilate the Pulse War Scorpions.

The Pulse War Scorpion swarm was certain to contain many Tier Two Middle-Late Stage units capable of withstanding the heavy cannon barrage.

So, she directed the Tank formations to spread out again, redeploying to face the oncoming Tier One Black Spine Zerg Swarm on the main battlefield, which was interspersed with several hundred Tier Two Tiger Spine Zergs.

Meanwhile, she had the Dreadnought Battleship’s ten Battleship Heavy Cannons convert to Electromagnetic Cannon mode.

The massive cannon barrels, large enough for a person to crawl inside, began to split open into four petals, just like Lin Feng’s Level 29 Electromagnetic Cannon, as they charged up and condensed spheres of ball lightning.

Using the time bought by the five heavy cannon volleys, the Electromagnetic Cannons finished charging after ten seconds. At Chen Yanyan’s decisive command, they unleashed a salvo of ten massive, raging Magnetic Storm Bombs.

Their maximum range of five kilometers was just enough to reach the Pulse War Scorpion swarm’s position.

As the ten Magnetic Storm Bombs streaked across the sky, flying dozens of meters above the ground, they passed over the dense Spine Zerg Swarm. The powerful electric arcs expanding and scattering from the bombs—stray bolts of lightning—injured many of the Tier Two Tiger Spine Zergs along the way.

When the Magnetic Storm Bombs struck the Pulse War Scorpions’ position, they detonated with a thunderous roar that shook the earth. They released innumerable electric arcs that spread out like a spiderweb, engulfing the entire Pulse War Scorpion swarm.

The blast dealt up to one thousand Damage at its epicenter, with the spreading, continuous electrical shock averaging five hundred. This dealt a devastating blow to the already disoriented Pulse War Scorpion swarm.

In the end, only a dozen or so Tier Two Early Stage Pulse War Scorpions on the periphery managed to escape.

Apparently, in her haste to engage, the Hai City Mother Empress hadn’t had time to arrange the Pulse War Scorpions into formations based on their Level and power, placing them at varying distances.

As a result, the Dreadnought Battleship had wiped them all out in one fell swoop.

And so, the plan to devastate the human fleet with a massive, coordinated volley was safely neutralized, thanks to the protection of the Dreadnought Battleship’s Energy Shield.
