When a light curtain appeared around the sea platform, blocking all aerial attacks from the fighter jets, Matins was momentarily shocked.
However, he soon realized that it was not a Void Shield.
Although somewhat similar, it was far from reaching the level of a Void Shield and seemed to be merely a simple energy barrier.
The difference between the two was significant.
A Void Shield fundamentally doesn't directly withstand attacks, but rather creates a spatial discrepancy, forming a thin film that envelops the protected target. When an attack arrives, most types of shells, missiles, or energy rays, upon contacting this film, would get displaced by the misaligned space to another dimension, leaving the protected target unscathed.
The defensive efficacy of a Void Shield was far superior to that of a conventional energy barrier. A successful defense would leave the protected target unaffected.
But there were disadvantages, too.
