The change came too fast.
The intensity of the battle between Harrison Clark and the Halo War Beast was too high.
From the moment he took action to when the explosion, with Nora Camp as the epicenter, spread around in all directions, it took less than five seconds.
People couldn’t discern with their eyes and ears how many collisions occurred every second on average or how many red, blue, green, or purple flame blossoms exploded in the air, and how many waves were created.
The sky within dozens of miles became the battlefield for Harrison Clark and the Halo War Beast.
Clusters of exploding light and flames spread in the sky like strings of beads, unending.
The spread of the bead chains was not in a straight line, but randomly distributed within a certain range. By the time Nora Camp and others arrived at the Hidden Warship and began boarding, the bead chains finally covered the entire sky.
The explosion on the eastern side of the sky had not yet dissipated when the second layer of flame light was continuously generated on the west side.
Only when the engine of the Hidden Warship began to charge rapidly could Nora Camp and others in the command cabin barely observe the battlefield through the high-power detection equipment of the warship.
Since the energy released during each battle was too strong, the detection equipment could not capture and analyze the details of the engagement.
The equipment could not show how Harrison Clark attacked each time, whether it was slashing or shooting, and even his specific posture could not be simulated, but the overall situation could be seen from a macro perspective.
In the 3D projection, one green and one red arc represented the trajectories of Harrison Clark and the Halo War Beast.
The mode of battle between the two was simple and brutal.
Collision, dispersion, long-range bombardment, closing in, collision, dispersion…
This cycle repeated over and over again.
The outer red line constantly drew arcs in the sky, extending inward.
The inner green line also drew arcs, precisely connecting with the red line, exploding into a brilliance of flames, and then dispersing once more.
From the overall visual perspective of the 3D projection, it seemed like a complex astronomical instrument composed of countless curves.
The seemingly simple yet extremely dangerous battle between the two, releasing energy pouring onto the external environment, expanded the battlefield coverage to nearly fifty miles in diameter.
The intensity of the battle was comparable to a fierce aerial group battle involving over a thousand people.
The red arc of the Halo War Beast was desperately trying to approach Nora Camp.
Meanwhile, Harrison Clark’s green arc was always able to intercept and repel it accurately.
Each explosion of flame and light was a fierce intersection of Harrison Clark and the War Beast’s curves.
Each different color of flame light, seeming enchantingly beautiful, was full of killing intent.
To break through Harrison Clark’s blockade, the Halo War Beast constantly switched between different attack methods.
Different attack methods were based on different energies, and each explosion released different wavelengths of light, hence the different colors.
Phase energy explosions release purple light.
Ultra-high-temperature particle explosions release red light.
Energy explosions from high-energy lasers release a dark blue light.
Super-high-pressure plasma explosions release orange-white light.
Explosions from neutron projectile weapons release full-color white light.
As well as the hazy black mist representing the full force of the
Pseudo-Curvature Engine, which suddenly appeared when space in that area collapsed slightly and absorbed some of the light.
This is where the Halo War Beast got its name.
As the ultimate war weapon of radium, each Halo War Beast was equipped with over twenty lethal weapons.
It relied on constantly switching weapons at will to easily tear apart the defense system of a fleet.
Its combat style was unpredictable.
Ordinary soldiers facing it would find it impossible to react in time and adjust their Hawk Armor’s shields.
But Harrison Clark blocked it every time.
Everyone moved from the beach to the Hidden Warship, covering a distance of ten kilometers. As they moved, the center of the battlefield also shifted.
During the shift, there were many dangerous situations. The Halo War Beast used the astounding power of the Pseudo-Curvature Engine several times to almost evade Harrison Clark’s interception.
But without the Pseudo-Curvature Engine, Harrison Clark managed to intercept it at the last moment every time.
When the Halo War Beast used the Pseudo-Curvature Engine for the first time, he immediately saw through its characteristics.
It was extremely fast, far surpassing the particle engine, but it needed to charge and compress the expanding space before activating it.
This technology had a preparation time, although lower than 0.1 seconds, but it still left traces to follow – it was up to whether people could react in time.
Harrison Clark’s Hawk Armor was equipped with the latest gravity field detection equipment, able to detect extremely complex gravitational changes accurately.
However, the central control system of the Hawk Armor did not pre-install algorithms to predict the output mode of the Pseudo-Curvature Engine based on gravity changes.
Even if it had, it would not be able to react in time when faced with such a complex calculation task, and could only throw out a complex trend chart representing the change in gravity field in the tactical projection.
Theoretically, ordinary human soldiers would find it impossible to discern any information from the trend chart composed of numerous lines.
But Harrison Clark could.
He had an almost intuitive judgment of the direction the Halo War Beast exploded and accelerated, intercepting it beforehand successfully.
The Hidden Warship began to ascend and gradually change direction, heading for the core power transfer station built on the surface of the Pacific Ocean less than fifty kilometers away. That station was one of the most powerful microwave power transmission lines connecting Earth and the Dyson membrane, which couldn’t be shut down.
The Hidden Warship started quickly and would reach the power transmission line within a minute, diving into it headfirst..
