Lin Yu was not surprised by Haig's attack. In fact, Lin Yu was waiting for him to attack!
A huge silver-white diamond-shaped dark energy shield had already been erected in front of him. There were a total of seven sides, each of which was much stronger than the one Chels had used to defend against Ipnos' attack.
A defensive shield made of pure dark energy could not be broken even by space-type attacks. It could only be broken by pure energy.
This was why the space-time turbulence caused by the zero-point bomb could not harm Haig.
No matter if it was the dark energy shield or the biological energy shield used by Haig, after reaching level 9, no matter if it was a biological civilization or a technological civilization, they would return to the path of pure energy confrontation.
The reason for this was that after becoming a level-9 civilization, the dark energy that could be used was actually of a higher level than space energy. It was the same for biological civilizations.
Of course, humans were only a level 8 civilization now. Lin Yu had only reached the level of dark energy utilization of a level 9 civilization in advance by using the dark energy calculation device.

Near the entrance of the ocean current.
After completing the energy storage, the head that was originally raised high suddenly swung in the direction of Lin Yu, and the terrifying energy was suddenly ejected from its mouth.
It was different from the attack used by Haig in the Boötes Constellation. The attack this time focused more on the power and not the range. Although its power was not as strong as the focused dark energy cannon used by Lin Yu, it still caused the space-time turbulence wherever it passed. Everyone's scalps went numb!
Perhaps it wasn't as fast as Lin Yu's attack, but it definitely wasn't slow either. In just five seconds, it had already crossed the distance of 5AU and violently slammed into the Xuanming mecha's dark energy shield array that Lin Yu had constructed.
It was still a battle between a spear and a shield, but the roles of both sides had been swapped.
However, right when Haig launched his attack, another hyperspace window opened quietly behind him. Another Zero Point Bomb Carrier flew out of the window.
This time, Douglas had learned his lesson from the previous time, and was not distracted by the battle in front of him. Hence, he discovered the arrival of the human "self-destructing spaceship" immediately.
However, the problem was that Haig was about to launch his strongest attack. More importantly, even if Haig stopped attacking, he wouldn't be able to launch another attack for a short time because of the massive amount of energy he had gathered.
Although the time interval wasn't too long, it would take at most a minute to recover.
But the problem now was that there was no such thing as a minute!
Haig wasn't satisfied with the stalemate between the spear and the shield.
However, he did not expect that a human's defense would be so strong. Even with his most powerful attack, he was still unable to break through the human's defense. In fact … According to this situation, the one who would lose in the end would most likely be his spear.
This matter was already annoying enough, and now Douglas had sent a message saying that the humans' self-destructing spaceship was here again?
Did the humans take my attack into account as well?
Haig didn't know why, but such a strange thought popped up in his head.
If Lin Yu heard this, he would definitely praise him. That's right. You're acting according to my script.
This was a bit ridiculous.
If I don't attack, the humans will attack and send me a "self-destructing spaceship" while I'm defending myself.
If I attack first, the humans will still send me a "self-destructing spaceship" while I'm attacking.
In the end, no matter what I do, I'll still get a "self-destructing spaceship" as a gift. How am I supposed to play this game?
Humans, you don't have any morals!
Haig was so angry that he wanted to curse. He couldn't stop attacking, and he couldn't continue attacking either.
Alright, at least if he stopped attacking, he could still defend himself from the "self-destructing spaceship". If he continued attacking and didn't take the initiative to defend himself, the power of the self-destructing spaceship would definitely injure him badly.
No matter how unwilling he was, Haig had to end the battle of spear and shield in advance. He activated his defensive barrier and prepared for the next round of attacks from the human's self-destructing spaceship.
There was no need to mention how sullen this feeling was …
Just ten seconds later, several AU away, the zero-point bomb carrier exploded again. The space turbulence once again shrouded Haig and the entrance of the ocean current!
For Haig, it was still okay. After all, the zero-point bomb couldn't cause any substantial damage to him before his biological energy was depleted.
However, Douglas was different. He still had the injuries from the zero-point bomb. Although it didn't affect his combat capability, his dodging efficiency was definitely not as high as before.
As for the Purgatory Army that was still gushing out from the ocean current, they were once again in trouble. Except for a few lucky ones, almost all of them were killed by the cosmic ocean current.
'Did I … do something wrong?'
Haig thought to himself as he tried his best to defend himself from the space turbulence.
It seemed like he had made the same mistake as Douglas. He had been too impulsive and underestimated the enemy!
The insectoids and humans had already retreated from the Wills Special Super Star Cluster. Originally, he should have completely occupied the place and strengthened the Purgatory Army before continuing to attack the Kempinia Super Star Cluster.
However, he didn't do that.
Was it because he was fooled by the humans in Ferman?
Haig shook his head slightly and stopped thinking about it. He once again focused all his energy on defense.

100 AU away, on the new Gonggong Battle Star.
"Seems like everything is going according to plan. It's going smoothly."
In the command center, Liang Xue's lips curled up as she spoke to Lin Fan.
After all, they were mother and son. As a mother, she was happier with her son's success than with her own.
"Yes, there's no problem at all. The key is whether the enemy will act as we expect after this wave of attack ends!"
"What if they don't?"
"Then we'll repeat the first and second phases until they act according to our expectations!"
"That guy is really unlucky to have met you and your father. I guess he'll be so angry that he'll shut himself up."
The corner of Liang Xue's mouth, which was originally raised, twitched slightly at this moment. She inexplicably felt sympathy for Haig in her heart...
"By the way, how are the preparations on Wang Hai's side?"
"The deployment has been completed. We're just waiting for the results here!"
"Good. Tell him that he can't be exposed in the next month. As long as this mission is completed successfully, I'll personally give him a new military rank!"
"I'll let him know!"
Liang Xue nodded.
"Commander, the space turbulence caused by the zero-point bomb is estimated to end in one minute!"
At this moment, the chief of staff's report came from the command center.
"Inform Lin Yu to prepare for the first phase of the battle at any time!"
"Yes, Commander!"
