Defeating this group of psionic lifeforms, which Li Wenyuan regarded as pirates, was not difficult for him.
Although he was curious about the nature of this lifeform, he still had to have the deterrence that he should have for someone who could not communicate with him.
Compared to the cruisers, the firepower and defense of the battleships exponentially increased.
The psionic lifeforms that could once fight against the cruisers were completely defenseless against the main cannons of the battle. Their already weak bodies would be reduced to ashes if they were lightly rubbed.
As for the shields and armor that were countless times stronger than the cruisers, it made the psionic lifeforms feel even more hopeless.
However, at the same time, they sensed a familiar aura from the psionic shield that the Battle Patrol was equipped with.
“Strength! Resources! A fortuitous encounter! As expected, the greatest reward of the trial was right in front of me. I could feel that incomparably fresh psionic. It was a pity that my strength was not enough to pass the trial!”
Some of them were extremely remorseful and kept pouring out negative emotions in their mental network. Their words were filled with regret, as if they were extremely regretful about the current situation where they were unable to do what they wanted.
This emotion naturally infected the others who were connected to the mental network. Even if they did not have expressions, their body language was expressing anger.
At that moment, the greed in their hearts had even overshadowed their fear of danger. They were not thinking about how to escape but were regretting that they had not been stronger in the past so that they could grab the psionic attached to the shield.
Some of the lunatics, whose bodies had already been shattered by close-range weapons, struggled to jump onto the psionic shield. Even if the high-energy particles on the shields vaporized them instantly, they were still excited the moment before their mental network was cut off.
However, the majority of the remaining survivors quickly regarded their lives as their top priority.
At this stage, their vile character was further revealed. Some people who were injured in the previous battle became sacrifices at this stage.
Even if the battlecruisers were eyeing them from behind, the psionic lifeforms could quickly reach a consensus and kill the soft persimmon that was left alone among them in small groups. Then, with the help of their sudden surge of psionic power, they would perform their magical teleportation.
Among them, there were also many who failed in their hunt and were killed by the soft persimmons who pretended to be pigs to eat tigers. And after fighting, they realized that they could not do anything to each other, and in the end, others, or even the battle patrol, benefited from it.
That kind of bad character seemed to have been rooted in their blood, subconsciously making them do this.
“They are really too ugly. Not only are their appearance like this, but their character is also like this. It’s impossible for this galaxy to be filled with such lifeforms…”
Gray Wind felt even more disgusted. She didn’t even want to take a stroll around this place. She didn’t want to meet such mad dog-like lifeforms on her happy journey.
“Be wary of the negative impact of the massive number of cases on the image of this galaxy…” Although Li Wenyuan was also uncomfortable with the crazy behavior of the psionic lifeforms, he would consider it more comprehensively.
After all, there were only 10,000 people here, which was far from representing the size of a galaxy.
Seeing that some of the individuals had already begun to teleport, Li Wenyuan focused his attention and focused on observing the changes in the various cosmic data at this moment.
This was an opportunity for him to confirm how the lifeforms in this galaxy could travel at superluminal speed. He believed that it might have something to do with the state of the void realm.
As more and more psionic lifeforms disappeared, he collected more and more data and gradually analyzed the principle of this movement.
“Fortunately, at least it’s not a more idealistic way of I think 1’11 be there when I arrive. There are still traces.”
Excluding the unrelated data changes, only the silent psionic in this galaxy showed a very faint change.
The extremely high average concentration of psionic energy made this abnormality easy to detect, and through constant falsification, he confirmed that these psionic lifeforms moved through the void realm.
To be precise, it was not a void realm, but a fragment of the void realm.
The void realm of this galaxy was blown into sub-space fragments that covered almost the entire galaxy for unknown reasons. Most of them gradually fused with the real universe as time passed.
However, there are still large sections that are stubbornly preserved and randomly dispersed in various locations, not only interconnected, but also, to a certain extent, connected to the real universe.
These lifeforms used psionic energy to travel through these fragments, but the collapsed void realm space was not that safe. If they were not careful, they would get lost.
And so, Li Wenyuan understood why the trajectory of these psionic lifeforms when they attacked was so peculiar.
Because the distribution of these virtual realm fragments was irregular, and they would take the verified path in the virtual realm space for safety, it would appear in the real universe that they had to travel through dozens of galaxies before suddenly arriving.
“Their utilization of psionic is indeed impressive. Humans were the first to travel at superluminal speed in the void realm… However, the social ethos formed by these psionic lifeforms is not something to be complimented.”
Li Wenyuan thought of the history of mankind he had learned in the Milky Way. At the same time, he felt sad about the current situation of this galaxy.
He didn’t know what kind of environment had caused this, but he felt that he would find out soon.
“Since it’s something that has already been done by humans by using the void realm, the superluminal suppressor will also work on them. This thing will not only stop the warp drive that uses spacetime continuity to travel across galaxies.”
“You want to escape from the void realm? No way!”
To understand the situation of this galaxy, it was naturally the fastest way to start from the native lifeforms.
A Titan Battleship had warped here. It was a Titan Battleship that was equipped with an upgraded version of the FTL spaceship suppressor – a ship-borne superluminal interrupter.
This equipment was originally a megastructure that was once used by the Voyager for a glorious duel. The people outside could not enter, and the people inside could not get out.
The one on the Titan Battleship had been specially modified. Although the duration was short, it could form a faster-than-light trap within the time it took effect. No one could escape from this place using known superluminal methods.
Therefore, the remaining psionic lifeforms who were the greediest and still wanted to make a profit from the others were horrified to find that their tried and tested life-saving methods had suddenly failed.
No matter how hard they tried to sense the void realm fragments, they were interrupted by a certain sense of sluggishness.
After realizing that there was no hope of escaping, these lifeforms were prepared to fight for their lives, but Li Wenyuan would not give them the chance.
All this while, he had only used conventional weapons and defensive means to fight against these psionic lifeforms to test their strength.
As for the auxiliary equipment that was the real killing machines, he did not use any of them. Against this kind of lifeform, Primal Fear which could stimulate the fear instinct was the most convenient.
A special lifeforms signal suddenly became active in this galaxy, making these psionic creatures feel uncontrollable fear.
Every cell in their bodies was crying desperately, and it also caused a terrifying hallucination to appear in their spiritual vision. They seemed to see some terrifying lifeforms eating them, and the hallucination even caused some people to be scared to death on the spot.
Logically speaking psionic users would have extremely powerful minds because they needed to communicate with the void realm through this. Even if they were scared to death by their physical instincts, they would never be scared to death by mere illusions.
This phenomenon once again proved the abnormality of these psionic lifeforms. They had powerful psionic power, but they did not have a matching soul.
After studying these unconscious lifeforms, Li Wenyuan also made some discoveries.
“There were signs of evolution on their bodies, and surprisingly, they had not been artificially modified. Did they look like this on their own?”
Li Wenyuan found it a little hard to believe that these strange humanoid lifeforms had no skin, only muscles, and no facial features on their heads.
After thinking for a while, he found another body that had been blown to pieces by an explosive weapon. Only the head was intact, and he placed the brain tissue in some kind of machine.
He could use this physical method to directly read the memories of lifeforms. Soon, he saw the living environment of these creatures. It was a world that could be called hell.
At the same time, he also knew that there were probably less than 100 million lifeforms like them in this galaxy.
However, they were the most important race in this galaxy because the other races had long since perished. They were the only ones left.
And they were the orphans of a remnant civilization in the depths of their memories that they could not recall.
Its name was Ascendant..
