Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1855 - 901: Pioneering Resumes (Part 2)

Previously on Global Era of Star trekking...

Song Chi sensed the stabilizing effects of his recent cultivation advancements in the Earth Core Space, reloading key artifacts onto the Heavenly Ruins fleet before the Five Great Torch Empires initiated a new wave of expansion wars across their territories. A massive united armada, led by superdimensional mother ships from imperial leaders including Song Yan of the Heavenly Ruins Divine Court, assembled at the northern edge of the Second Torch River System Community, shadowed by the mythical Dragon Spine Dominator Whale as a silent deterrent. The fleet traversed billions of light-years over decades without incident, arriving in the Mysterious Star Sea where over a hundred entrenched high-level civilizations, including six top-tier overlords, formed an alliance to resist the invasion. Fierce interstellar battles erupted amid energy barrages and spatial rifts, culminating in the main force reaching the Ghostly Vortex—a treacherous natural fortress guarded by the indigenous Ghost Shadow Songstress civilization.

The "Ghost Shadow Songstress" civilization boasts individuals with forms as captivating as pure energy entities. Through spiritual waves and haunting spectral songs, they link with stars to command gravity and dark energy. Their society stands at the height of advanced high-level status, while their elite "Star Choir Army" can briefly summon power rivaling half-step myth.

Within the "Beiji Sea River System Cluster," they've joined forces with two formidable allies—the "Melt Core Giant Beast" and "Crystal Language Clan"—positioning their core fleet alongside the mighty "Ghost Energy Resonance Array" in the treacherous "Swan Song Corridor" of the "Ghostly Vortex." Their goal: repel the Torch Fleet beyond their borders using the inherent obstacles and unified strength.

The Three Empires' United Fleet, confronting this blockade, had no choice but to engage. An initial vanguard detachment pushed to breach the corridor forcefully, only to face intense opposition right away.

The "Ghost Shadow Songstress" melodies morphed into solid energy surges, whipping up wild distortions in the vortex's energy and gravity, which disrupted the Vanguard Fleet's alignments and slashed their shooting accuracy.

Suddenly, a "Melt Core Giant Beast" burst from the nebula, slamming into the fleet's side with its sturdy build and scorching melt core blasts.

The "Crystal Language Clan" strongholds kept releasing crystal prisms that bent and redirected incoming energy shots, severely undermining the Vanguard Fleet's offensive edge.

Multiple probing assaults got pushed back; despite leveraging superior vessel capabilities to obliterate many foe assets, the attackers incurred their own damages and progressed at a snail's pace.

For an instant, the morale among the Ghost Shadow Songstress coalition spiked, as the "Ghost Energy Resonance Array"'s glow intensified from the corridor's depths, building up a terrifying energy reserve.

Observing this shift, the Joint Command promptly adjusted tactics.

Song Yan stepped forward, assigning the [Fiery Flame Boiling Sea] and the Heavenly Ruins Divine Court contingent to lead the charge, sparking the next phase of the cosmic clash without delay.

... "Engage the 'Clearing Force Field' at full strength! Focus on the turbulent energy area in front!"

The [Fiery Flame Boiling Sea]'s frame lit up intensely, as the fiery field burst outward, aggressively calming vast swaths of energy chaos and gravitational quirks, carving out a steadier zone for the armada's strikes.

"Star River Ship formation, focus your barrages, overwhelm 'Crystal Language Clan' prism bastions 7 and 11! Star-Annihilating Starship units, fan out to the flanks, block the 'Melt Core Giant Beast'! Fearless Ship squad, release puppet troops and drone attack waves, sweep away minor threats!"

Commands flowed out with precision; shielded by the [Fiery Flame Boiling Sea]'s advanced field, the Torch Fleet unleashed its full arsenal.

Dozens of Star River Ships unleashed their primary guns in unison, a blinding cascade of rays swallowing the designated forts and pulverizing them into stellar debris.

Freed from the prism strongholds' meddling, the Torch Fleet's volleys turned lethal.

At the same time, the [Fiery Flame Boiling Sea]'s vibrant superdimensional railgun roared to life anew, firing a scarlet lance across the void straight at the massive "Ghost Energy Resonance Array" hidden far inside the passage.

Yet in that instant, countless "Ghost Shadow Songstress" from the "Star Choir" chanted as one, channeling immense spectral forces and psychic might into the setup, erecting a colossal, spinning vortex of ghost energy that absorbed the "World-Burning Furnace"'s devastating strike through raw endurance.

Though the barrier quaked violently and faded considerably, it endured the onslaught.

"Such a persistent annoyance."

Song Yan's brow creased faintly, yet he refrained from calling forth the Mythical Dragon Spine Dominator Whale just yet. He understood well that this campaign served to broaden the Torch Civilization's domain, solidify its base, and double as a drill for the Five Great Empires, gearing up for potential future turmoil.

During the deadlock, the trio of species' coalition tried to strike back, with additional "Melt Core Giant Beasts" and "Ghost Shadow Songstress" capital vessels surging from the corridor's core.

As the counteroffensive gained steam, a fierce spark ignited in Song Yan's gaze; rather than pulling back, he directed the fleet to stand firm, while linking comms to Ying Wei of the Immortal Qin Divine Dynasty and Wilson from the Holy Hall Federation.

"Ying Wei, Wilson..." Song Yan spoke steadily but urgently.

"The foes lean heavily on the 'Ghost Energy Resonance Array' and the landscape, making their defenses tougher than anticipated. A prolonged push could secure triumph, but it'd drag on and rack up heavier losses."

"I suggest [Fiery Flame Boiling Sea] drives straight in to draw their fire, as I ask you both to lead your squadrons in stealth maneuvers through the 'Nebula Dark Surge Zone' and 'Gravity Lens Zone' in the 'Swan Song Corridor,' flanking and surrounding their side and back capital groups!"

Ying Wei's projected image, eyes sharp as bolts, scanned the star map and gave a quick affirm:

"Understood, my Immortal Qin Fleet claims the Nebula Dark Surge Zone!"

Wilson nodded right alongside.

The trio of superdimensional leaders synced up in a flash.

"[Fiery Flame Boiling Sea], push to max output! Sustain the 'Clearing Force Field'! Star River Ships, Star-Annihilating Starships, gear up for another total salvo! Every support group, unleash barrages to pin down the enemy line!" Song Yan's directives rang across the Heavenly Ruins Divine Court Fleet's shared line.

Suddenly, [Fiery Flame Boiling Sea] blazed like a newborn sun, its raging power waves warping the nearby cosmos.

A fiercer field unfurled, solidly countering the adversaries' energy surge rebound, while the immense superdimensional railgun forward glowed with a more ominous red hue, gathering far greater potency than prior.

The front-line union of the three Ghost Shadow Songstress groups sensed crushing strain, their weapons almost entirely fixated on [Fiery Flame Boiling Sea].

The "Origin Starlight Shield" powered up once more, bracing for what looked like a final, all-out assault.
