Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 567
Chapter 565, Primal Spiritual Energy
Gu Hang quickly understood the unique flavor of the power vying for power against him.
It manifested differently in the Warp.
Human psykers are essentially souls transformed into channels connecting the real universe and the Warp. Demons transported to the real world are simply shadows of Warp power projected onto the real world.
The difference between these two powers lies in the fact that the former, as human souls, through training, can filter and shape the raw power of the Warp, transforming it into a relatively safe, controllable, and precise energy tailored to the psyker’s own traits and thoughts. The
latter, on the other hand, strongly expresses the demon’s unique characteristics as a single Warp demon, an extreme, contaminated force.
Scholars distinguish between these two, calling the former psychic energy and the latter fel energy.
But in essence, both express the boundless, omnipotent power of the Warp, simply through different means.
The same was true of this current one.
The only difference was the way it was expressed… which struck Gu Hang as bizarre.
Under its influence, the power of the Warp didn’t seem simply applied, but more like… stolen, suppressed, tamed, and forcibly harnessed.
This astonished Gu Hang.
He wasn’t quite sure where this power came from.
Was it some unique technology possessed by the Alfonzo Cult?
It was quite powerful.
The forces of both sides collided in space. The primary function of this strange Warp power controlled by the Alfonzo Cult was to constantly block Gu Hang, preventing him from using his psychic energy and directly affecting his own ships.
Gu Hang was indeed entangled and had no time to easily tear through the enemy ship’s void shield.
If he tried to break free, the tamed Warp force would quickly re-attack.
Its power did not attempt to attack the Alliance ships.
This behavior confirmed Gu Hang’s suspicion.
After realizing the unique characteristics of the psychic energy opposing him, Gu Hang felt that this relatively primitive form of psychic energy was not suitable for attacking void shields.
The raw power of the subspace can only be used to directly and roughly attack the ship’s shields and void shields in the form of energy shocks.
It’s not that it doesn’t work, it’s not that it has no effect at all, but it’s very limited, and it’s a waste of time.
Gu Hang deliberately let down his guard, pretending that his psychic power was slightly inferior, and temporarily extinguished his own psychic power.
The psychic power of the Brainworm Tyrant under the control of Sage Du Bo hesitated for a moment in space and could not find a target to defend.
An idea flashed through his mind: Is that all Gu Hang is?
The strength is quite high, but the endurance is not good enough.
Is there some conspiracy?
But he couldn’t care less. The psychic power of the Brainworm Tyrant has been projected, and he can’t just retract it now that he can’t sense Gu Hang’s movements.
So, he tried to muster his strength, just as Gu Hang had just torn the Iron Will apart, unleashing the power of the Cerebrate Tyrant upon the Alliance ships.
He captured a cruiser and blasted it with Warp power, but it failed to rip the shield apart. It took two heavy artillery rounds, working in conjunction with psychic energy, to finally blast the Moon-class’s void shields red.
This was a bit awkward.
Gu Hang realized that this “taming” and “enslaving” of Warp power, while capable of controlling immense power, lacked any skill and could not generate the necessary transformations.
Tearing apart a void shield wasn’t simply a matter of pushing energy upward—as this strange force was doing. To do so would be like using psychic energy like a cannonball, transforming it into concrete, physical energy to blast the void shield.
But in that case, why bother using psychic energy? Wouldn’t it be enough to just blast it with macrocannons and light spears?
Of course, even this primitive application of psychic energy posed a significant threat. After all, psychic power doesn’t have to worry about accuracy; given more time, he could indeed achieve significant results.
However, having received the answer he sought, Gu Hang no longer hesitated and took action.
Seizing the opportunity presented by the Cerebrate Tyrant’s struggle with a Moon-class Void Shield of the Alliance, Gu Hang once again materialized his psychic power, targeting an Ark Fleet cruiser and two frigates. His psychic power, with a unique frequency of vibration, directly impacted the interior of their Void and Energy Shields, disrupting their effectiveness and rapidly shredding them.
Ye Lishiya and Gu Hang had established a perfect rapport. Upon receiving Gu Hang’s notification, she coordinated several warships and prepared. As soon as the Void Shield was shattered, firepower immediately followed, swiftly reducing the ship to space junk.
Meanwhile, Gu Hang locked onto his next target: the second-largest enemy vessel, the Emperor-class battleship “Ascending Machine Spirit.”
At this point, the psychic power of the Cerebrate Tyrant, controlled by Du Bo, finally swung around and entangled with Gu Hang’s.
This once again demonstrated the difference in flexibility and technical prowess among the psychic powers wielded by the Cult of Alfonzo.
Du Bo’s reaction wasn’t immediate; he’d sensed Gu Hang’s psychic power the moment it reappeared on the battlefield and attempted to redirect his forces to counter it.
He knew his efficiency in dealing with the Alliance ship’s shields couldn’t compare to Gu Hang’s, and that such an exchange would undoubtedly be a disadvantage for his side. However, in a direct clash of psychic powers, while skill and flexibility certainly played a role, Du Bo could rely on brute force to disrupt Gu Hang’s power. Whether he could
accomplish his goal or not, it was still easy to sabotage him.
On the other hand, Gu Hang was completely unwilling to engage in a psychic confrontation or entanglement with such an inexplicable force.
Its strength is very high, and it is inevitable that storm mages will be sacrificed during the confrontation;
sacrifices are fine, but to win by head-on confrontation… let alone whether you can win, at least it is very laborious and time-consuming.
Alfonzo’s fleet can do without psychic support, they have the upper hand in terms of strength; but the Alliance Fleet is obviously at a disadvantage in terms of conventional fleet strength, and the key to victory lies in Gu Hang’s cheat… no, it is Gu Hang’s psychic power.
Being restricted like this, the Alliance Fleet is really looking for death.
However, since Gu Hang did not order the fleet to evacuate after discovering that something was wrong, and continued to fight, it was naturally because he found a way to crack it.
“Let me see what you are… Okay, I found it.”
Positioned on the War Ark ‘Alfonzo II’, Gu Hang saw Sage Dubo and the giant brain worm tyrant imprisoned in a machine.
