Chapter 364 The Secret of the Ring-Shaped Object and a New Crisis

The aftershocks of the explosion gradually dissipated, and the universe returned to calm, but Lin Yu and the fleet members were still deeply moved. Their gazes were drawn to the repaired ring-shaped object, which emitted a soft and stable light, as if telling untold secrets.

Lin Yu took a deep breath to calm his excited emotions and gave the order: "All personnel, pay attention, approach the ring-shaped object and conduct a full scan and analysis." The fleet slowly approached, and all kinds of detection equipment operated at full capacity, with data flooding back like a tide. Ellie, leading the technical team, stared intently at the data jumping on the screen, her brows furrowed, deep in thought.

"Lin Yu, the energy structure inside this ring-shaped object is extremely complex. It seems to be a huge information storage library. We are trying to analyze the information inside," Ellie said while operating the equipment.

Time ticked by, and the analysis progressed with great difficulty. Finally, blurry images and strings of ancient text appeared on the screen. As the analysis deepened, a startling secret gradually surfaced. It turned out that this ring-shaped object was an early warning device left behind by an ancient civilization, monitoring an impending cosmic catastrophe.

“Based on this information, this disaster originates from a mysterious black hole deep within the universe. It is constantly absorbing surrounding matter and growing stronger. Once it reaches a certain critical value, it will trigger an energy storm that will affect the entire universe, destroying all life.” Ellie’s voice was filled with worry, making the atmosphere on the bridge heavy.

Lin Yu's expression turned extremely grim. He knew that if this news was true, the entire universe would face an unprecedented crisis. "We must bring this news back to the Alliance headquarters as soon as possible so that all parties can discuss countermeasures."

Just as the fleet was preparing to return, the probes suddenly detected an unusual energy fluctuation. This fluctuation was different from any they had encountered before; it was much stranger and was approaching them at an extremely fast speed.

"There's a new situation! Everyone stay alert!" Lin Yu quickly issued the order, and the fleet immediately went into battle mode.

As the energy fluctuations drew closer, a massive black sphere came into view. Its surface was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the light of the surrounding stars, yet it exuded a powerful sense of oppression. Suddenly, cracks appeared on the surface of the black sphere, from which countless beams of black light shot forth, enveloping the fleet.

"Dodge the attack!" Lin Yu shouted, and the fleet quickly dispersed. The black beams of light moved at incredible speed, grazing the edges of the warships and emitting a sharp whistling sound. Lin Yu discovered that these beams seemed to possess some kind of corrosive ability; the shields of the warships that were hit rapidly lost energy, and a layer of black corrosion marks appeared on their surfaces.

"This black sphere's attack is too strange; we must find a way to exploit its weakness." Lin Yu stared intently at the black sphere, his mind racing.

Ellie quickly scanned and analyzed the black sphere, trying to find a way to break it. "Lin Yu, the energy source of this black sphere seems to be related to a core crystal inside it. Perhaps we can attack this core crystal."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu immediately ordered, "Concentrate your firepower and attack the core crystal of the black sphere!"

The fleet adjusted its weapon orientation, unleashing beams of energy towards the black sphere. However, an invisible defensive barrier seemed to exist around the black sphere, reflecting the energy beams back the instant they touched it.

"This defensive barrier is too strong; our attacks simply cannot break through it," the weapons operator said anxiously.

Lin Yu frowned, lost in thought. He knew that a direct attack would be ineffective; he had to find another way. Suddenly, he thought of the ring-shaped object. Since it was an early warning device left by an ancient civilization, perhaps it also contained a way to deal with this kind of crisis.

"Ellie, see if the ring-shaped object has any information related to this black sphere, or any way to help us break through the defensive barrier," Lin Yu said.

Ellie quickly operated the equipment to analyze the information of the ring-shaped object again. In the tense wait, Ellie finally found the key information: "Lin Yu, the ring-shaped object records a special energy resonance frequency, which may be used to interfere with the black sphere's defensive barrier."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Lin Yu's eyes: "Calculate the resonance frequency immediately and adjust the fleet's energy output!"
