Ch.146146. At that moment, an angel suddenly burst in.

# Doomsday-class Hive Ship.

This monstrous vessel, which has left its mark on human history a total of seven times, is simply put, as massive as Earth itself. While the exact number of such ships is unknown, it is the largest recorded entity among colossal vessels larger than satellites.

Those unfamiliar might think certain things about it.

Just as certain SF movie franchises definitely don’t have 7-9 installments, super weapons often find their massive size to be more of a burden, and in reality, land battleships and similar concepts are generally deemed meaningless or inefficient.

Hence, one might wonder if something so large lacks substance.

Certainly, one could think that… but such thinking is fundamentally flawed.

Hive ships the size of satellites, like the “Doomsday,” are less battleships and more mobile fortresses, equipped with their own production facilities, various loading systems, and battery emplacements capable of obliterating entire planets in emergencies.

Its mere passage can wreak havoc on the gravity of nearby planets, which it exploits as a weapon. Its durability rivals that of ordinary planets, requiring planet-killer weapons to take it down…

Yet even the most powerful planet-killer weapons, like concentrated planetary incineration lasers, are repelled by its high-output psychic shields. Even if a hole or two is punched through, repairs are simple.

Above all, this vessel can unleash short-range teleportation barrages or ram through space distortions, possessing shocking maneuverability for its size—it can either endure attacks or simply avoid them.

And let’s not forget that this ultra-massive mobile fortress of invasion houses at least several thousand interstellar hive ships packed inside.

It was such a terror to humanity in the past that we had to specifically construct a satellite-sized vessel, the Armored Moon, just to counter it. For our ancestors, it truly represented doomsday in the most literal sense.

Anyway, after news arrived that a ship bearing the same name as the world’s end described in the Bible had broken through the defense line alone, only bad news followed for some time.

Galactic Federation member states were being annihilated daily. Sending inadequate suppression forces was futile—they were overwhelmed by the battleships floating around the Doomsday without it even needing to engage.

Public opinion within the Federation strongly favored sending a response fleet to sink it immediately, but if asked whether that would be easy, everyone would respond negatively.

The most fundamental reason for not dispatching a response fleet is that the invasion isn’t occurring in human territory. But more essentially, it’s a matter of speed.

Unlike the “Doomsday,” which can perform evasive maneuvers despite being planet-sized, the Armored Moon, apart from its size, doesn’t differ much structurally from orthodox vessels—making it excruciatingly slow.

While it might defend a specific point, pursuing a ship rampaging through space would be unimaginably difficult. Thus, despite news of the rampage, devising an effective countermeasure seemed impossible… but then:

[I’m going.]

No one could have predicted that Teresia would leave with just this brief message, taking her direct fleet with her.

A grand fleet consisting of 500 elite mercenaries—Titan Warriors equipped with Titan Armor, minor copies of her own Titan Armor—and about 100 capital ship-class battleships.

Their objective, naturally, wasn’t to attack the “Doomsday” directly, but to target the monster fleets detaching from it.

In truth, the “Doomsday” typically doesn’t participate directly in conquering planets, but rather sends out trillions of monsters produced endlessly within itself.

This method—where it merely applies wide-area gravity debuffs from nearby—is certainly more efficient than traversing the vast galaxy individually, effectively embodying its identity as a “mobile planet-sized stronghold”…

This means there couldn’t be a more perfect battlefield for Teresia and her guard, considered the strongest among our galaxy’s elite forces.

They can engage escort-class vessels (cruiser-class by monster standards) exceeding 1km in length head-on. Being small with exceptional firepower, they can even face capital ships exceeding 10km using hit-and-run tactics.

A psychic user with superhuman abilities can launch attacks several times larger and stronger, while simultaneously achieving speeds comparable to ultra-high-speed boats capable of short-range teleportation.

About 500 perfect weapons standing at the pinnacle of bipedal piloted war machines, despite being only 20 meters tall.

While they’d obviously melt in a direct confrontation, Teresia judged they could achieve near-invincible results against the small fleets dispatched from the “Doomsday”—

And indeed, that proved true.

Teresia and her fleet, having charged in on their own, rampaged across planets invaded by monsters, guided by Teresia’s transcendent psychic directions.

“37th line, direction 64-68-994, level 5.4, fire 3 times. Lines 8 through 29 all to the rear, retreat 80 kilometers. 54th line, direction 734-88-266, level 6, fire 17 times.”

“Lady Teresia, Unit 74 is in crisis—”

“I know. Attach Units 76 and 77. Add 75 if needed.”

“Lady Teresia, the 41st line—”

“Tell the 41st escort fleet to tighten their firing pattern. If necessary, pull 10 escort ships from the 42nd and relocate them.”

While the only top force capable of defeating battleship-class vessels (interstellar hive ships) exceeding 20km in length should be commanding from the bridge, Teresia’s command ability is almost like playing a tower defense game in reality.

Using pylons installed on each ship connected to her nervous system, she grasps the battlefield environment in real-time, simultaneously using these pylons as detection radars.

She performs calculations that would short-circuit or fry the brain of an average first-class psychic-specialized mercenary after just three pylons—and she’s handling approximately 300,000 simultaneously.

Of course, she directly commands only capital ships and Titan Armors, but even considering that, her command of the vast fleet as if it were an extension of her own limbs is, with slight exaggeration, at the Federation’s highest level.

No matter how absurd her orders—suddenly attacking empty space or performing evasive maneuvers in place—following them somehow always benefits their side.

Displaying command abilities that feel like she’s directing a grand theatrical performance on the battlefield, Teresia demonstrates why she’s called a hero.

‘Amazing… it really feels like her own body is moving…’

Even a veteran operator with 230 years of battlefield experience couldn’t help but marvel at her divine-like ship movements.

Her eccentricity of directly commanding all capital ships and Titan Armors proved incredibly efficient and effective, making such admiration understandable.

Thus, Teresia was one-sidedly pushing back a fleet of 50 capital ships dispatched from the “Doomsday.”

Just as this utterly one-sided battle continued without a single loss, Teresia suddenly frowned, and urgent messages began pouring into the flagship’s bridge.

“Titan Unit 241 destroyed!”

“145, 419… Unit 61 also destroyed!”

Reports of four Titan Armors being suddenly destroyed came in, followed by additional damage reports and information about the culprit.

“41st line sunk! 41st escort fleet half-destroyed!”

“The culprit is Pattern White! Named monster, ‘Angel’!”

One of the five monsters with an official record of zero defeats or deaths.

The so-called “White Disaster” that first appeared during the “2nd Doomsday-class Invasion” defense, infiltrating humanity’s response fleet flagship alone and devastating it.

“Angel,” the ultimate high-mobility ultra-small monster, had invaded this battlefield.
