The starry sky is infinite.

Few people can clearly explain what the astral world represents. It is the gathering place of countless creatures' consciousness, the ocean of spirit, and the reflection of the universe. But at least one thing is certain, that is, the scenery in the astral world is at least much more beautiful than that in the universe.

At least you can't see grass floating in the air or waterfalls thousands of meters long in space.

The Star Realm could be described as a large garbage dump. Fang Zheng even saw a wizard tower that had been blown up to the point where only half of it was left... No one knew what had happened to its owner.

"I have to remind you, guest, that the journey to other worlds is not easy at present."

Next to Fang Zheng, Crystal Head was also chattering away introducing things.

"Generally speaking, we would recommend you to go through Sigil. As long as you have the right key, you can go anywhere there. But unfortunately, a battle broke out in Sigil not long ago. A powerful being clashed with Lady Serenity of Sigil and destroyed half of Sigil... Currently, the entire Sigil is under blockade and outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering, so we may have to take some detours..."

“I just hope this detour doesn’t take too long.”

Fang Zheng looked at the void in front of him and frowned, but soon relaxed his expression.

"Okay, anyway... let's take a break first, and then we can talk about what to do next."

As Fang Zheng finished speaking, everyone dispersed and went about their own business. Qiong took Dong Ma to the balcony outside to see the scenery - the star world is not the universe, there is no vacuum here. In fact, if you want, you can "swim" to any place you want without taking any ship.

By the way, in the astral plane, your speed depends on your soul and wisdom.

Simply put, the higher the IQ, the faster the speed.

On the other hand...

For Illya, Xiao Hei and Atalanta, this place is just like their Hawaiian beach. According to Xiao Hei, even if they do nothing but stand here, they can feel the warm spirit and soul breath brought by the astral wind, which is as comfortable as basking in the sun on the beach.

So they really ran to the platform to bask in the sun.

"Is this... okay?"

Only Nevreen and Chtholly stayed where they were. After all, they came later and were still a little reserved. Nevreen might have been used to following Fang Zheng, but for Chtholly...she just hadn't gotten used to the feeling of herding sheep.

"No problem. Iona and the others will be in charge of monitoring the surroundings. If anything happens, they will notify you directly. You can go and rest now. We don't know how long this journey will take."

After hearing what Fang Zheng said, Chtholly relaxed a lot and went back to her room to rest. Fang Zheng took out his personal terminal and started typing a new project plan. Nephrine was still lying on the sofa next to him like a cat and closed her eyes.

The trouble came sooner than expected.

"Report to the commander! An unknown psychic energy wave object is approaching!"

As soon as Iona finished speaking, they saw dozens of glowing figures suddenly appear in front of them - this was a very strange feature, because according to the visual distance, no object could be so close to be discovered. And there was no sign of teleportation, it was as if these people suddenly jumped out of the void.

However, this is also what often happens in the astral realm. Here, your vision cannot grasp direction and space. Only the soul and wisdom can explore infinite boundaries.

Facing these guys who suddenly appeared, the ship girls reacted quickly. They immediately activated the protective barrier and Klein force field, and aimed their guns at the uninvited guests. These uninvited guests quickly dispersed at an angle that violated the laws of physics and blocked their way.

At this time, Fang Zheng also saw the true faces of these uninvited guests.

They are humanoid creatures, and look similar to humans, but they have no noses and their ears are triangular. They wear silver-white armor with intricate patterns and carry a huge silver sword on their backs.

"Ah, it's the Githyanki. Looks like we're in trouble."

Crystal Head also gave the answer at this time.

“It’s them.”

Fang Zheng frowned after hearing Crystal Head's introduction. Before coming to the Star Realm, he had read a lot of records about the Star Realm from the White Tower. The Githyanki were one of them. They were pirates in the Star Realm, the most notorious race. Their favorite thing to do was to plunder the wealth of other creatures to enrich their arsenal.

Now it seems that they are targeting me.

Fang Zheng was looking at this group of Githyanki, and they were also looking at this mysterious metal fleet. They obviously did not show any special surprise at the appearance of this fleet, which was normal. Although Fang Zheng's Blue Fleet was powerful, there were many huge behemoths in the star realm, and some of them were even as big as a planet. In comparison, this fleet was not so rare.

But even so, they did not let their guard down.

"You are blocking the road to my city, Traveler."

One of the Githyanki opened his mouth, and his voice echoed in everyone's ears. This is a unique psionic power of the Githyanki and one of their most powerful weapons.

"If you just don't mean to, then change direction. You have countless choices in the Void Star Realm."

"what to do?"

At this moment, everyone else also returned to Fang Zheng, waiting for his decision. Fang Zheng pondered for a moment, then glanced at Crystal Head.

"What do you think?"

"This is the astral realm."

Crystal Head gave his own answer.

“Will determines reality, and intuition prevails over everything.”

Then the answer is simple.

“We will not give way.”

Fang Zheng spoke decisively.

"This is the route of our Azure Fleet. You should have gotten out of the way earlier."

“…”

After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the Githyanki people didn't say much. Soon, everyone saw them turn around and quickly disappear into the void.

"Isn't this...not so good?"

After listening to the conversation between the two parties, Dongma pulled Fang Zheng's sleeve and whispered.

"If they ask us to move to another place, we will just change direction. Why should we conflict with them?"

"He told us to go the other way this time, but next time they will dare to kill us."

Fang Zheng shook his head.

“The Githyanki are bandits from the astral plane. They are no pushovers. Besides, this is not their territory. Why should we give way?”

"Can……"

"It's okay, at most we'll just have a fight..."

Fang Zheng patted Dong Ma's shoulder, telling her to be at ease.

“Just a bunch of Githyanki. We can’t take them seriously.”

Soon, as the fleet continued to move forward, a huge astral fortress appeared in front of them. It looked like a giant stone fortress. From a distance, there was nothing on it, no people or creatures, it looked like a dead city.

“They didn’t move out of the way.”

Seeing this, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows, and then a ray of golden light flashed in his eyes.

"Attention everyone, fire freely!"

"But the enemy has not yet launched an attack..."

"I saw them attack."

Facing Chtholly's question, Fang Zheng pointed to his eyes. As a prophecy mage and a time dragon, he could easily see what would happen in the future. In fact, Fang Zheng had already seen the Githyanki soldiers lined up neatly in the square, as well as the giant crossbows that had been placed on the city wall.

In just one minute, when the fleet comes into their firing range, these guys will open fire immediately.

So...of course we have to strike first!

The so-called prophecy wizard means, I know you are going to hit me, so I will kill you first!

"Get started!"

Following Fang Zheng's order, dozens of beams of light shot out, cutting through the starry sky and shooting towards the fortress in front of them.

Almost at the same time, a flying crossbow arrow suddenly appeared from the opposite side.

The first round of confrontation between the two sides began without any warning.

The warships of the Azure Fleet released beams of light that hit the outer walls of the fortress, but these beams were quickly blocked by the silver-white psychic barrier that emerged and enveloped the entire fortress.

This proves once again that any race that can travel in the astral realm is not a good person.

The psychic crossbows fired from the fortress were equally powerful. If they were ordinary crossbows, they would not be able to penetrate the fleet's defenses. But these psychic crossbows were different. They were designed and manufactured as powerful weapons to fight against the astral beasts. The huge crossbows that looked like medieval crossbow carts whizzed past and hit the battleship's Klein force field, and then a violent explosion occurred. The surging void energy devoured the Klein force field's defenses crazily, causing ripples.

Soon, groups of Githyanki soldiers appeared quickly, and they swam in groups like schools of fish in the sea and rushed towards the Azure Fleet. At the same time, the Unicorns also activated the destruction mode, and hundreds of unmanned fighters instantly burst out and sprayed, forming a battle formation and rushing towards the enemy in front of them.

"Haha, it turns out that the person who comes has bad intentions."

Seeing this, Fang Zheng snorted, and everyone except Dong Ma was silent. They were not fools. Just from the quick response of the Githyanki, it could be seen that the other party was well prepared, but Fang Zheng launched the attack a moment earlier than them.

Otherwise, they would be attacked right now.

"Activate the doomsday weapon and blow up this broken fortress. I will leave the rest of the enemies to you."

Soon, Fang Zheng gave another order.
