Global Era of Star trekking

The diameter of this spore storm had already reached a terrifying several thousand kilometers, and the energy it carried was beyond imagination.

One could foresee that, should this storm dragon make direct contact with the rear of the warship, even if the silver cruiser didn’t sink on the spot, being swept uncontrollably into the space vortex ahead by this uncontrolled thrusting force would likely result in it being shredded to pieces by the spatial rifts.

At this critical juncture, the woman’s thoughts moved, and she activated the ”Inkstone Shield” active feature of the shadow inkstone warship armor included in the warship’s basic components.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A thick black stone shield suddenly formed, tightly enveloping the entire warship.

The next second, the storm dragon from behind slammed into the tail of the ship’s hull.

Driven by the terrifying force, the warship, covered in the inkstone shield, shot straight into the space vortex ahead.

...

Hundreds of light-years away, a massive space vortex suddenly appeared in the silent star domain, followed by a huge pitch-black object bursting out from within the vortex.

This pitch-black armor layer was covered with terrifyingly large cracks. Minutes later, as the inkstone shield dissipated, the inner silver cruiser also revealed its form—it was just that the cruiser looked rather worse for wear at the moment.

The once brightly streamlined silver hull now bore countless cracks of varying sizes, and the ship’s bow, where the main cannon was situated, was severed in the middle, completely wrecked by the spatial rifts.

Crack!

Amidst the sound of steam, the hatch doors of the ship opened, and four equally shaken Torch ship captains quickly scrambled out before immediately summoning their respective Torch warships. For a Torch ship captain, only within their own warship could they find a sufficient sense of security.

Inside the main control room of the silver cruiser, the woman gently massaged her temples, a deep fatigue flickering through her clear eyes.

During the previous action, her spiritual force had been running at an overload from beginning to end. Even with the Third Rank Level Guidance Technique at her disposal, she still felt somewhat overwhelmed.

But that soon turned to joy, for regardless of anything else, the deep blue fruit was finally in her hands, which, of course, was a reason to be happy.

Even though the cost was considerable, she didn’t care.

The person behind her had reached the end of life; most life-extending items had already been used and were no longer effective for them, but this deep blue fruit was different. Birthed by a Fifth Rank Level deep blue mother tree, although it couldn’t extend the life of the person behind her by a hundred years, it could still do so by half.

Fifty years—with these fifty years as a buffer, her fleet of warships would have a certain chance of making an assault at the Fourth Rank, and as long as she advanced to a Zhulu Warship, she would have the basic right to make her own choices and not passively accept others’ arrangements.

Dismissing the myriad thoughts in her mind, she commanded with a thought, and the ship’s hatch opened once more. Four radiant lights shot out from the hangar, each drawn to the four warships at the side.

This was the subsequent payment for inviting these four Torch warships to take action. Even for her, it wasn’t a small sum, but it was necessary to pay.

Not to mention personal credit, the identity of the black cruiser on the left was not simple either, being a direct member of one of the most powerful noble families in the duchy. Should she really refuse to pay, once the other party’s family exerted pressure, even her status would be subjected to significant strain.

After gladly accepting the subsequent payment, the man on the black cruiser still made one more attempt to inquire about the ”Brainwave Remote Control System” component before leaving, but was once again sternly refused by the woman.

Only after the four warships had all departed, the woman’s taut expression finally could no longer be contained. Her exquisite face suddenly turned pale, and simultaneously, the silver cruiser, which had been relatively normal up till then, began to blare a frantic red alert.

The power of space was actually not that easy to withstand. Even with the protection of that inkstone shield, the extent of the damage to the silver cruiser was beyond imagination.
