Although the Reaper in front of them looked strange, no one paid much attention to it. After all, they had already killed countless Reapers along the way, so one more would not be a big deal. So soon, the fleet fired their artillery at the target.
At the beginning, the Reaper was unable to resist. It waved its hands desperately in front of itself, trying to resist the attack of the Blue Fleet. However, when it was about to be blown up, the huge Reaper suddenly flashed and disappeared out of thin air!
Disappeared?!
Fang Zheng was also stunned when he saw the Reaper suddenly disappear. But soon, he immediately found that the Reaper suddenly reappeared from the other side of the fleet, waving its hands and rushing towards the warship that was closer to it.
"The fleet turns and attacks!"
This time, Fang Zheng didn't need to speak, Iona immediately and decisively gave the order, and then hundreds of Eternal Destruction-class torpedoes were fired almost instantly, attacking the humanoid reaper from all directions.
However, at the moment when Iona and the other mental models launched their attack, the humanoid reaper disappeared again, escaping their lock.
"This is……"
Faced with this incredible scene, the mental models were all puzzled, but Fang Zheng's eyes widened in surprise. The reason was simple, because when the reaper disappeared, Fang Zheng keenly captured its fluctuations, but that was... a boson jump! !
Fang Zheng was immediately shocked.
Are you kidding me? Even I relied on the inspiration from the records on the Nadeshiko and the authority to manipulate time as a time dragon to figure out this "theoretical" high-tech way of moving. How could you, a Reaper, perform boson jumps?
Are you kidding me?
Of course, Fang Zheng also discovered that the Reaper didn't seem to be very familiar with Boson Jump at the moment, and it was more like an instinctive dodge. But judging from the frequency of its dodges, it was slowly becoming familiar with and mastering this ability.
Are you kidding? What would happen if a Reaper mastered this ability?
"Iona, open the hatch, I'll go take it out!"
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng immediately issued an order. Boson jumps act on time rather than space, so the stasis weapons of the Blue Fleet are basically useless. If you want to kill this guy, you must be able to hinder it from manipulating the power of time.
"yes."
"boom!"
However, as they were talking, whether by accident or by prior preparation, when the humanoid reaper "flashed" out again, a silent dreadnought suddenly opened fire blindly, and then one of the golden beams hit the reaper's chest, creating a big hole.
At the same time, a shrill scream suddenly sounded in Fang Zheng's mind.
“Aaaaaah…!!”
This series of screams made Fang Zheng raise his eyebrows, but before he could say anything, he saw Asuna and others standing not far away showing some strange expressions.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, I seemed to hear a scream..."
"I heard it too... It's so uncomfortable, as if the sound was sent directly into your head... Ugh..."
Is this telepathy? Or some kind of supernatural power?
Seeing the girls' slightly painful expressions, Fang Zheng's face changed. Then he quickly stretched out his hand. Soon, holy light emerged from Fang Zheng's hand and enveloped the girls. Under the shining of the holy light, the girls' originally somewhat painful expressions gradually returned to normal.
"Wow... Thank you Mr. Fang Zheng, it was really scary just now..."
"Yeah yeah……"
Ying Lili also swung her ponytail left and right, looking like she was still frightened.
"It's like the wailing of a ghost..."
"Is there such a thing?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng looked at Nymph and Yui beside him.
"Did you hear that?"
"…Sorry, Master, I didn't hear anything."
"Me too, Dad..."
"Where's Iona?"
"No signs of sonic penetration detected, Captain."
In other words, only organisms can receive this kind of "radio waves"?
What on earth is this Reaper?
The previous reapers had never shown similar abilities, so why was this reaper so special? Could it be that they used these people from another world as the "material" for making the reapers, which led to such a change?
"Akito——!"
However, just as Fang Zheng was lost in thought, he was startled by a scream. He turned around and saw on the surveillance screen that the innocent captain of the Fushiko was trying desperately to rush out, but the people around her were holding her back.
"Let me go, let me go, I want to see Mingren! I heard his voice! He said save me...! I want to save him!"
“…”
What is going on?
Looking at the crazy captain, Fang Zheng was also stunned, but he quickly withdrew his attention and no longer paid attention to the trivial matter of the Fuzi.
"Iona, open the door!"
"Yes, Master."
Soon, the hatch opened, and Fang Zheng took a step forward and left the battleship. He stood on the deck and raised his hands.
The next moment, burning flames emerged from Fang Zheng's hands and transformed into two sharp blades, one black and one white. At the same time, the uniform of the Undead Squad once again appeared on Fang Zheng's body.
"call--"
Fang Zheng clenched the sword in his hand and closed his eyes. He could sense everything around him, including time and space, which was trembling - there!
Fang Zheng suddenly opened his eyes, and then his figure flashed, and the pitch-black sword in his right hand suddenly burst into a bright red flame, as if the sun-like light illuminated the originally dim universe at this moment, and rushed towards the Reaper who had just appeared not far away through the Boson Jump with a long trajectory.
“Drink aaaaaaaaah!!”
With a roar, Fang Zheng faced the huge steel monster in front of him and swung his sword. The 40-meter-long sword condensed from flames chopped down at the reaper without hesitation. The reaper seemed to sense the danger and raised its hands in panic, trying to block Fang Zheng's attack.
But the next moment, the giant flaming blade cut off the reaper's hands easily as if cutting butter.
“——!!”
The reaper opened its mouth, and although it made no sound in the vacuum, many people heard the sharp screams that emerged from their minds. As the reaper's arms were cut off, Fang Zheng saw streams of dark yellow liquid gushing out from the gaps in the reaper's limbs, turning into clumps of water-like things floating in space, and then completely evaporated by the high temperature of the burning flaming sword.
At this moment, the Reaper seemed to have noticed something was wrong. Its body suddenly flashed, and it seemed to be trying to use the boson jump again. However, this time, it was unable to escape like before. The invisible force of time no longer obeyed the Reaper's command. It could only stay there in despair and helplessness, watching the 40-meter-long flaming giant blade swinging towards it.
"boom--!!"
Accompanied by dazzling flames and explosions, the humanoid reaper was completely turned into pieces and disappeared into the dust of the universe.
At the same time, Fang Zheng also felt that the wailing sound in his head, which sounded like the sound of the dead, gradually disappeared.
