Shin was still annoyed by his recent mistake, and the Zerg warships had already rushed forward frantically.
No longer using Cold Breath, Shin transformed into a ball of golden light and instantly shot toward the Zerg warships to meet the attack.
Before he could even hit the giant warship, which was the size of a satellite, the colossal bugs, thousands of meters tall, that had been sent out first rushed toward him. With a squelch, hundreds of bugs were utterly smashed into pulp by Shin.
Shin released his Bio-Magnetic Field, forming a bullet shape and constantly spinning at high speed. Increasing penetrating power was secondary; the main goal was to block the bugs' foul-smelling green bodily fluids and completely shake them off.
Accelerate, accelerate, accelerate madly! On Earth, Shin would never dare to go this wild. In the comics, Superman's speed when flying in space definitely exceeds the speed of light by hundreds of times, but his reaction speed is, at most, a dozen times the speed of light, as he doesn't have the abnormal boost of the Speed Force.
When flying at full speed, Shin himself could barely react, just like an ordinary person driving a top-tier sports car who will crash seriously if they lose focus for a moment. Applied to Shin, a slight lapse in attention could result in him smashing right through the Earth.
Now he didn't need to worry about such things; he just needed to fully unleash his combat power!
With a tremendous crash, after smashing hundreds of bugs the size of the Himalayas, Shin slammed directly into the outer Energy Shield of the Satellite-Class Zerg Warship. The Energy Shield was immediately shattered into pieces, completely collapsing without slowing Shin down for a microsecond.
As the Energy Shield was pierced, Shin plunged into the giant warship. Normally, given Shin's size, hitting a satellite-class warship like this would cause negligible damage, but what if Shin hit it at hundreds of times the speed of light?
A brilliant fireworks display erupted instantly. The giant warship couldn't hold up for even a second before it was completely torn to shreds, and the resulting violent explosion cleared out all the large bugs near the warship.
That was just the first one. Smashing a warship felt like nothing to Shin, at most the ordinary sensation of hitting a layer of plastic film.
Without any hesitation, Shin immediately changed direction and slammed into another giant warship.
Rumbling and crashing sounds rang out continuously as one warship after another set off fireworks in space. It was unclear what rules governed this Pocket Universe, as it wasn't a complete vacuum, and sounds could actually be heard.
Amidst the fireworks flying everywhere, the Zerg warships finally seemed to recognize Shin's immense power. Nearly half of them had been destroyed. The remaining 200-plus warships lined up together, and all their Energy Shields merged, forming one massive, powerful Energy Shield.
The Energy Shield, which was over a hundred kilometers thick, finally slowed Shin down. After all, even the weakest defense spread over a distance of a hundred kilometers was too extreme; it blocked his attack like a thick layer of water film.
The moment Shin's speed dropped due to the barrier, the super warships immediately aimed their Main Cannons at him and unleashed a barrage, regardless of whether it was overkill.
Countless beams of light converged, almost like a supernova explosion. The remaining Anti-Matter Bombs, Fermion Missiles, Zerg-Specific Plasma Cannons, and High-Energy Laser Attacks followed closely behind, bombarding Shin, who had just lost his momentum.
The ultimate weapons on these super spacecraft—almost every Main Cannon—could shatter a planet the size of Earth, and the remaining secondary weapons were powerful enough to wipe out the entire Earth's ecosystem. Their power was far greater than imagined!
Technological weapons have always favored offense over defense. Anti-Material Sniper Rifles and rocket launchers costing less than 100,000 can easily disable tanks costing millions. This problem has only become more pronounced, not less, as technology has advanced.
The power of the Main Cannons on these giant warships far exceeded their defensive capabilities. Even with Shin's lightning-fast reactions, he still couldn't dodge the Main Cannons whose direct attack range was the size of Australia.
The intense light flashed for several minutes before the dazed Shin finally burst out of the firing zone. He was covered in severe burns, and his original clothes had been reduced to ashes.
The clothes of Kryptonians like Superman don't usually suffer damage in battle because they envelop their clothes in a Bio-Magnetic Field; otherwise, their clothes would have long been reduced to ashes by the intense air friction caused by their flying speed.
However, the enemy's recent attack was so fierce that even the Bio-Magnetic Field couldn't withstand it. He ultimately had to use his physical body to endure the attacks, naturally resulting in his clothes being destroyed.
Shin took a deep breath. Under the circulation of the Cosmic-Grade Chakra within his body, he instantly formed a layer of Chakra Battle Armor on himself. In terms of defense, this layer of Chakra Battle Armor could almost withstand a nuclear explosion, but on an interstellar battlefield, this level of defense was barely better than nothing. The only advantage was that as long as his Chakra supply was sufficient, it could be restored even if shattered.
His original injuries were rapidly healing thanks to the abundant energy within his body, his powerful physique, and his Self-Evolution Ability.
At this point, Shin dared not directly charge the Zerg spacecraft again. It was proven that quantitative change could indeed lead to qualitative change. When hundreds of giant spacecraft Energy Shields, each the size of a moon or satellite, merged, it was difficult for him to break through instantly.
Moreover, the destructive weapons on these spacecraft could indeed injure a Superman Physique. If his strength had been slightly weaker just now, he might have been instantly vaporized.
However, Shin realized that taking that hit did have some benefits. For example, after he recovered, his physical strength slightly increased, especially his resistance to various energy weapons, which improved significantly.
"Self-Evolution has this kind of benefit? That makes sense. Life's evolution is inherently a stress response after suffering damage... but Dr. Nemesis's weak body is far too fragile to support this mode of evolution."
Although Shin's Superman Bloodline is not renowned for its recovery ability, that is only because Superman rarely sustains genuine injury, and his other superpowers are so immense that they overshadow this capability.
In reality, while Superman's recovery ability cannot compare to those who can regenerate after being sliced in half, like Wolverine, Sabretooth, or Deadpool, it is only slightly inferior to theirs. As long as the injury isn't to a vital spot like the head or heart, ordinary severe damage can be easily recovered from by Superman just by basking in the sun.
