Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

The deep blue ion streams sprayed from the tails carved ten straight trajectories in the dark space. War Wolf sat in the cockpit of the lead Fighter, divine majesty eyes under the full-coverage helmet fixed on the radar screen.

”Attention, everyone! Maintain tight formation! Activate Omnidirectional Shields!”

”Once the enemy is spotted, launch saturation fire immediately! Don’t give those bird people a chance to show off their maneuvers!”

”Roger!”

Human tactics were simple and brutal, but often the most effective when faced with absolute power. In War Wolf’s view, the Winged Human Race’s thin-skinned ships would disintegrate instantly if merely grazed by the ”Kunpeng’s” Gravity Cannon!

However, to divine majesty surprise, the radar screen was completely silent.

No signal, no energy fluctuations, not even debris from impacted meteorites.

”Strange, where did these guys hide?”

War Wolf frowned, a faint sense of unease rising in divine majesty heart.

Just then, a piercing alarm suddenly blared in divine majesty ear!

[Warning! Warning! High-energy signature, six o’clock position!]

”What?!”

War Wolf abruptly turned divine majesty head. Through the Panoramic Cockpit, he saw a scene he would never forget.

In the shadow of the massive meteorite behind them, ten ”Wind God” fighters—pure white and nimble as swifts—had silently glided behind their formation, utilizing the Gravitational Slingshot Effect of the meteorite with their engines completely shut down!

This was a ghost that defied common physics!

”Break formation! Break formation now!”

War Wolf roared hoarsely, simultaneously yanking the control stick, attempting a high-difficulty Cobra Maneuver to escape the lock.

But it was too late.

Instead of using crude energy cannons like the humans, the ”Wind God” Fighters simultaneously deployed the precise, feather-like Crystal Arrays on both sides of their wings.

”Buzz—”

A strange, high-frequency Oscillation Wave instantly swept across the entire airspace!

This was not an explosion, but a precise interference targeting the shield frequency!

The next second, War Wolf realized in horror that divine majesty proud ”Dimensional Shield” had extinguished amidst that strange fluctuation!

”Now!”

Ling’s clear, cold voice echoed through the public channel.

The ten ”Wind God” Fighters ignited their engines instantly!

They did not fly in straight lines but moved like ten storm-tossed petrels, instantly cutting into the center of the human formation using zigzag trajectories that were incredibly bizarre and highly contrary to aerodynamics (even though there was no air in space)!

Those maneuvers were practically dancing!

They utilized every meteorite, every gravitational fluctuation, and even the wake exhaust from the human Fighters’ engines as leverage points. They moved through the dense network of gunfire with the composure of someone strolling in their own backyard!

”Bang! Bang! Bang!”

A series of muffled bursts sounded.

Although the human ”Kunpeng” Fighters were tough and durable, having lost their shield protection and facing point-blank attacks, they instantly became sitting ducks!

The Winged Human Race’s weapons were not designed to explode battleships, but to ”cut” them!

They used High-Energy Cutting Rays, precisely severing the ”Kunpeng” Fighters’ engine energy supply lines, attitude control thrusters, and even the fire control radar of their weapon systems!

In less than thirty seconds.

The battle was over.

All ten ”Kunpeng” Fighters lost power, drifting in space like ten pieces of scrap metal.

As for the ten ”Wind God” Fighters, none were damaged, save for a few surface scratches!

Total defeat!

A thorough and complete rout!

When the simulation finished, War Wolf climbed out of the Simulation Pod completely stunned. divine majesty usually arrogant face was now filled with existential doubt.

He lost?

Lost to a group of ”artists” he despised?

And in divine majesty most favored mode of direct confrontation, he was toyed with and defeated like a monkey performing tricks?

”How... how is this possible...”

Not only him, but all the human soldiers present fell silent. The recording of the battle just now played repeatedly in their minds: that flowing coordination, that skill of utilizing the environment to the extreme, that elegance of dancing on a knife’s edge...

Was this really aerial combat?

This was nothing short of a deadly art performance!

”There’s nothing impossible about it.”
