Chapter 580: The Battle for the Amethyst and the Reappearance of Crisis
The aircraft, accompanied by an even more turbulent energy storm, swooped in again, their attacks far more frequent and intense than before, clearly determined to stop Lin Yu and his companions from obtaining the amethyst at all costs. Lin Yu kept his eyes glued to the screen, his hands steadily maneuvering the warship, dodging the dense barrage of attacks.
"Everyone, hold your ground! Focus on dealing with these aircraft. Ellie, keep collecting amethyst, and be quick!" Lin Yu commanded as he pressed the attack button, the laser cannon continuously firing to try and suppress the aircraft's offensive. The team members were fully focused. Xiao Wang was responsible for adjusting the weapon power to ensure that each shot had maximum effect; Sora led the mysterious warship to provide flank support, golden energy pulses constantly disrupting the aircraft's formation.
However, the number of aircraft was simply too great, and they were becoming increasingly reckless. One aircraft seized its opportunity, accelerated suddenly, broke through the fleet's firepower, and crashed into the data collection pod where Ellie was located. "Watch out!" Lin Yu shouted, quickly maneuvering the warship to the side, using its hull to block the fatal blow. The violent impact caused the warship to shake violently, its shield energy plummeted, and it emitted a piercing alarm.
"Lin Yu, are you alright?" Ellie asked anxiously. Lin Yu rubbed his shoulder, which was still sore from the impact, and gritted his teeth as he replied, "I'm fine, don't worry about me, keep collecting amethyst!" In the midst of the fierce battle, time passed second by second, and the amethyst collection progress bar was finally almost full.
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the energy storm suddenly underwent a bizarre change. The previously chaotic energy flows began to converge, forming a massive energy vortex that enveloped the fleet and aircraft. The vortex's suction force grew stronger and stronger, pulling the warships to the brink of collapse, threatening to engulf them at any moment.
"Oh no! This energy vortex is too powerful! Our engines can't keep up!" Xiao Wang shouted in alarm. Lin Yu's forehead was covered in sweat as he struggled to maintain the warship's balance while racking his brains for a solution. Suddenly, he noticed that the direction of the energy vortex's rotation seemed to be somehow related to the energy fluctuations of the amethyst.
"Listen up, everyone! We're going to try using the amethyst's energy to counteract its fluctuations and adjust the warship's energy output frequency to synchronize with the amethyst's energy fluctuations!" Lin Yu shouted. Ellie quickly understood his intention and immediately adjusted the data collection equipment to channel some of the amethyst's energy into the warship's engine.
With the infusion of amethyst energy, the warship's engines emitted a dazzling light and gradually stabilized, briefly stabilizing against the suction force of the energy vortex. However, the aircraft seemed to have sensed Lin Yu and the others' intentions and attacked even more frantically, attempting to disrupt their operation.
A large aircraft broke through heavy firepower, launching a thick black beam of energy that shot straight towards the warship's energy core. At the critical moment, Sora piloted the mysterious warship and charged forward, using her shield to block the attack. The warship's shield shattered instantly, and multiple cracks appeared on its surface.
"Sora!" Lin Yu exclaimed. Sora's voice came through the communication channel: "Don't worry about us, hurry up and complete the energy countermeasure!" Lin Yu gritted his teeth, his heart filled with emotion and determination. He and his team sped up their operations and finally succeeded in synchronizing the warship's energy output with the amethyst fluctuations.
With a violent tremor, the suction force of the energy vortex began to weaken and gradually dissipate. The fleet was finally out of danger, but before everyone could even breathe a sigh of relief, they found that the aircraft had regrouped and formed an attack formation.
At this moment, the fleet's weapon energy was running low, and its shields were severely damaged. Lin Yu gazed at the densely packed fleet of aircraft before him, knowing an even more difficult battle was about to begin. At this critical juncture, could they find a new breakthrough, successfully repel the fleet, and safely leave this perilous star system with the Amethyst?
