Chapter 140: Stellar-level cosmic storm! Scarlet mantis swarm! (Subscribe)

"Silver Fleet First Squadron, enter!"

Gavin felt something was wrong, so he first ordered the five planetary silver warships of the Silver Fleet's First Squadron to enter the Scarlet Galaxy.

The first team of the Silver Fleet that entered the Scarlet Galaxy quickly sent back a communication message indicating that there was nothing unusual.

"All ships attack!"

Since he didn't find anything unusual, Gavin no longer hesitated. The opportunity was fleeting. If he let those cunning human pirates escape far away, it would be difficult to chase them.

So the Metal Man fleet, led by the flagship Gold No. 1, advanced into the Scarlet Galaxy together.

The reconnaissance warships on the periphery of the circular fleet were always alert to threats from the surrounding space environment, but they did not find anything unusual. In the huge scarlet galaxy, there was only a scarlet star and a scarlet planet floating alone in the universe.

It seems that those human space pirates are just bluffing.

"Golden Fleet First Squadron, prepare to start orbital bombardment! Drop quark fusion bombs!"

As the Metal Fleet entered the Scarlet Galaxy, Gavin gave orders again.

A total of five star-class golden battleships quickly activated their weapon systems. Their most powerful orbital bombardment weapon was the ultimate weapon developed by the Metal Republic - the quark fusion bomb.

This is a new fourth-generation nuclear weapon that is far more powerful than atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs.

Nuclear fusion is the form of energy release that occurs in hydrogen bomb explosions and the heat and light of stars. It is 10 times more powerful than the energy released by nuclear fission of the same mass.

However, under the same mass, the energy released by quark fusion is 10 times greater than that of hydrogen nuclear fusion, making it the ultimate weapon that is truly comparable to the power of a star!
"Boom boom boom——!!"

At this moment, loud noises were heard in the space near the scarlet star, and gusts of high-speed cosmic winds formed a mighty storm, roaring towards the metal fleet.

"Alert! Alert! The intensity of this cosmic wind has reached stellar level!!"

Shrill alarms sounded inside all the warships.

It's actually a cosmic storm of stellar intensity? !

Gavin's face couldn't help but change. A cosmic storm of stellar-level strength was a real disaster. Even their stellar-level gold battleships would suffer a devastating disaster, let alone planetary-level silver battleships!

But why did such a strong cosmic storm appear in this area without any warning? Their reconnaissance warships clearly did not detect any signs!
"All captains, listen up! Activate the defense system, gather the fleet, and use a chain formation!"

At this point, the most urgent task is to deal with the impending cosmic storm, and Gavin immediately issued an order.

The captains of all the metal man warships quickly gathered the fleet array, and the adjacent warships were connected to each other by some special alloy chains, forming a chain fleet formation with great visual impact.

Before the cosmic storm arrived, the majestic and terrifying energy airflow had already arrived. The rage and roar caused the entire metal fleet to shake violently.

In the face of this huge cosmic disaster, a person, a warship, or a fleet will all appear insignificant!
Even the battle-hardened metal soldiers couldn't help but feel waves of fear.

"Wait...who is that?!"

Suddenly, a huge and majestic golden dragon man's back appeared at the forefront of the chain fleet formation, blocking all the metal man warships.

Gavin was also stunned and turned his head quickly, only to find that Chu Xu, who had just been in the control room on the ship, had disappeared.

The golden dragon figure from behind was Chu Xu's true form!

At this time, Chu Xu restored his true form as War Greymon. When all the metal soldiers were frightened and retreated one after another, he alone locked his eyes on the sweeping cosmic storm and went straight to meet it!

He...he actually wanted to withstand this stellar-level cosmic storm alone?

This kind of courage left all the metal soldiers stunned.

Most of them don’t know Chu Xu yet, and don’t know the existence of dinosaur civilization on Earth, but from this moment on, they will remember it forever.

The cosmic storm is getting closer and closer, and the space within the field of vision is submerged by it, filled with a strong smell of destruction.

The space probes had been completely destroyed by the energy airflow, and the metal soldiers' vision was blurred. They could only vaguely see Chu Xu standing in front of the fleet, motionless.

"Coronal Storm!"

Finally, Chu Xu moved. His whole body suddenly burned with raging coronal flames. His dragon body then began to spin at high speed, forming a coronal storm that was no weaker than a stellar-level cosmic storm, and collided head-on with it!

That was the energy collision between the dark cosmic storm and the red coronal storm!

At the moment of their energy collision, tens of thousands of metal soldiers could no longer hear any sound. The whole world suddenly became empty, the brain chips stopped working, and the electric current and magnetic field in the body as blood solidified, falling into a shutdown state.

No one knew how long it took before they gradually recovered from this state of suspended animation. Their first reaction was to be surprised that they were still alive.

Indeed, they are all still alive and well!

Even the battleship they were on did not suffer much damage, and all systems were functioning normally.

Incredible! Incredible!

Immediately afterwards, all the metal soldiers rushed to check the situation of the golden dragon man in front of them.

They all knew that it was he who single-handedly blocked this stellar-level cosmic storm. Otherwise, at least half of the warships in their fleet would have been torn to pieces, and they would have died without a burial place!
"Roar!!"

Suddenly, a loud dragon roar was heard, and the golden dragon man's unshakable figure once again appeared in the eyes of the metal soldiers, making them cheer in unison.

"It really is a stellar-level cosmic storm..."

Chu Xu's condition at this time was not good either. With his current fourth-level stellar strength, after enduring the cosmic storm head-on, his golden digital armor was almost completely shattered. The cosmic wind that cut like a sickle tore open wounds, and the blood flowed everywhere, which was shocking.

However, what surprised Chu Xu was that his body seemed to have absorbed and refined some of the energy of the cosmic storm, so that his level bottleneck was loosened significantly.

It is estimated that it won’t be long before he can break through to the fifth level of the star grade!

It is true that misfortune may turn out to be a blessing in disguise!
"Buzz buzz buzz--!!" But Chu Xu had no time to rejoice, as his keen telepathic perception detected that a large number of unknown creatures had appeared on the surface of the scarlet star, swarming towards the location of the metal fleet.

This scene really seems familiar. When Chu Xu and his party were in the Kuiper Belt, they also encountered a cosmic wind of planetary strength. The cause of this cosmic wind was a large group of terrifying locusts!
Could it be that this cosmic storm of stellar intensity was also caused by those interstellar Zerg? No wonder it happened without any warning!

"what is that?!"

Soon, the reconnaissance ships outside the Metal Man fleet also discovered this large group of unknown creatures. On the detection scan map in front of them, a dense mass of red dots appeared in the dark green background. The number and range were so large that it was simply shocking!
When the detailed images were fed back to them, they could see clearly that they were actually giant praying mantises.

The giant mantis is over 50 meters long. It flaps its wings and flies at high speed, brandishing two sickles with their knives sharpened. Its body is covered with thick and hard scarlet armor and its face is hideous. There are at least over of them.

【Name】: Scarlet Mantis
【Growth Stage】：Complete

[Level]: Satellite level 3

[Skills]: Void Hide, Void Slash
……

Scarlet Mantis!

Chu Xu has also seen its true face. He did not expect that there was such a large interstellar Zerg race living in the Scarlet Galaxy. Their strength and scale are far more terrifying than the terrifying locust swarms they encountered before!
"Big brother!"

At this time, through Baihong's space jump, Liuxing and Xianyue came to Chu Xu's side and fought alongside him.

Chu Xu nodded. Although he didn’t know how the Blood Skull Pirates could coexist peacefully with these scarlet mantises in the Scarlet Galaxy, he believed that these scarlet mantises were their support.

No wonder the human space fleet that once expeditioned to the Scarlet Galaxy suffered heavy losses. Faced with such a large number of Scarlet Mantises, which have basically reached the satellite level, and the stellar-level cosmic storms they control, the risk factor is extremely high!

"attack!!"

Gavin also reacted immediately, and all the Metal Man warships pointed their guns at the aggressive group of scarlet mantises.

The main weapon equipped on each Metal Man warship is called a quark-gluon plasma cannon, also known as a quark soup main cannon.

Quarks are fundamental particles that participate in strong interactions and are the basic units of matter; gluons are the "glue" that binds quarks together.

Although they are small, they carry the most powerful force in the universe - the strong force. This force is like an indestructible chain, tightly binding three quarks to form hadron particles such as protons and neutrons that build the nucleus of atoms, thus forming an eternal symbiotic relationship between quarks and gluons.

In the first few microseconds after the Big Bang, the universe was filled with a "quark-gluon plasma soup" with quarks and gluons floating freely until the universe cooled rapidly and they recombined.

The quark-gluon plasma cannon uses this principle to create an extremely high temperature and high energy environment, allowing quarks and gluons to separate to form a plasma cannon, which is ranked among the top weapons at the planetary level.

"Boom--!!"

A plasma cannon was fired from the muzzle of the Metal Man battleship's gun, and a blazing ball of plasma shot out at the same time, covering the dense group of scarlet mantises, killing large groups of scarlet mantises in an instant.

However, what happened next was a scene that the metal people could not believe.

With the red light flashing, the remaining scarlet mantises disappeared mysteriously, and their whereabouts could not be found either by detectors or the naked eye.

"They'll become invisible!"

Chu Xu was also secretly frightened. With his super telepathic perception, he could clearly see that the invisible scarlet mantises had dispersed their formation and were rapidly approaching the metal man's warship. Once they got close to it, the consequences would be disastrous.

The Metal Man warships, which had no idea where the enemy was, could only rely on luck to fire plasma cannons, with an extremely low hit rate. Only after hitting the Scarlet Mantis would their stealth effect be broken and they would reappear.

……

Meanwhile, in space near the Scarlet Planet.

"Hahaha!! Enjoy the feast I prepared for you!"

Inside the Spider Star Destroyer, Augustus' smile remained unchanged as he watched the Scarlet Mantis swarm and the Metal Man fleet engaged in a melee.

The biggest reason why the Blood Skull Pirates chose the Scarlet Galaxy as their base is that the scarlet stars in it are home to such a powerful group of scarlet mantises.

Also because they would regularly pay "protection fees" to the Scarlet Mantis Clan, including biological, metal, minerals, etc., the Blood Skull Star Pirates maintained a strange symbiotic relationship with the Scarlet Mantis Clan. Whenever foreign enemies broke into the Scarlet Galaxy, they would be attacked by the Scarlet Mantis Clan without mercy.

"Bob! Check immediately. What civilization did these metal men invite in? That golden dragon man can even withstand a stellar-level cosmic storm!"

Augustus suddenly spoke.

In his impression, there are no such creatures in the Galactic Civilization Alliance that maintains friendly relations with the Metal Man civilization.

"Boss, I have investigated. They are not from the Galactic Civilization Alliance. They are probably a new civilization that has not yet been discovered."

"Previously, our insider in the Blue Star Human Federation passed on a piece of intelligence, saying that the Centauri Space Force Division had discovered a new star system called the Solar System, and that a new civilization existed on one of the life-bearing planets called Earth, and that the main race of that civilization was the dinosaurs."

The wretched man Bob replied.

"Dinosaurs? Isn't that a low-level creature that once lived on Blue Planet?"

Augustus suddenly realized that the golden dragon man was actually evolved from a low-level dinosaur.

"Boss, it is said that the environment of the solar system and the earth is almost identical to that of the Red Sun Galaxy and the Blue Star! If we can occupy the solar system, it will be no different from occupying the headquarters of the Blue Star Human Federation!"

Bob rolled his eyes and suggested with a chuckle.

Augustus became excited when he heard this. If they could occupy the solar system, there would be no need for them to stay in such a harsh scarlet galaxy. They could develop in the solar system. It would not be impossible to establish an Earth human federation in the future!
However, the strange thing is, why did the Blue Star Human Federation discover the solar system but not occupy it yet? Could it be that they were defeated by those Earth dinosaurs?

At this moment, an extremely strong and surging stellar energy came over, greatly shocking all the human pirates on the pirate fleet.

"what's the situation?"

Augustus almost fell off the seat and asked loudly.

The next second his vision was illuminated by a strong light. He saw that the golden dragon man had rubbed out a small star with his hands and held it high in his hands. All the invisible scarlet mantises had nowhere to hide under the strong light!
