The flashes inside and outside the smoke had no effect on the space creatures.
The battle in the cosmic void was fierce but silent; without air, not a sound could be heard.
Conventional firearms and ammunition fired and exploded silently, with no sound during the process, only momentary bursts of fire and shrapnel flying around. Similarly, the laser and particle beam, both forms of directional energy, cut through the void without a sound.
Smoke affected the laser beams slightly but had no hindrance on the particle beams, which excel in penetration.
Just as Chen Fei suspected, the space creature resembling an eel was disturbed by the pervasive smoke and the various hidden "mines," becoming more erratic and less adept at maneuvering through the barrage, getting hit more frequently.
Although railguns and shrapnel could not penetrate the scale armor of the space creature, if it had pain sensors, it would grimace in pain even if uninjured.
