In the silent universe, all silicon-based life forms gaze anxiously and expectantly ahead.
They were waiting, waiting for Li Qing's fleet to completely disappear in front of the spatial teleportation channel.
A few minutes felt like an eternity.
As Lee Sin's last starship disappeared, Aura issued the order without hesitation:
"Full speed ahead, keep up!"
The six spaceships led by the cardinal were the first to engage the enemy.
The starship of silicon-based life slowly merged into the spacetime teleportation channel.
The next second, Aura's vision went black, and she was plunged into darkness.
There was not a single ray of light in front of the starship.
Even the star map floating above the command center turned completely black.
This means that within the starship's detection range, there is not a single intact planet, and not even a single star can be seen.
Aura sat in the commander's seat, scanning his surroundings. He couldn't even find Li Qing's fleet, a realization that turned his face ashen.
Inside the starship, the silicon-based life forms looking out through the transparent portholes also noticed this strange darkness.
All silicon-based life forms felt a little uneasy.
The cardinals are communicating with each other via communicators.
A cardinal asked angrily:
"Aura, what's going on? Why is there not even a ray of light left!"
"No light at all is impossible in interstellar space!"
The universe is full of dazzling starlight, and the light from stars that exploded hundreds of millions of years ago can reach their eyes at any time.
Although the universe may seem dark, it actually has light and provides guidance.
But here, not even a tiny bit of starlight can be found, which is definitely not normal!
Aura, feigning composure, shook her head slightly and said:
"Right now, we might be in a spatial teleportation channel. Don't worry, things will probably be fine in a while."
He was comforting everyone, and he was also comforting himself.
As soon as Koola finished speaking, a terrifying force shot into the sky, followed by spatial tremors and massive explosions all around the starship.
Immediately afterwards, the piercing starship notification sound began to hum.
[Warship damaged! 92% operational status, please repair as soon as possible.]
[Warship damaged! 72% operational status, please expedite repairs.]
[Warship damaged! 43% operational status, please repair as soon as possible.]
[Warship damaged! 9% intact. Please evacuate this warship immediately.]
The warship's warning sounds rang out incessantly.
The silicon-based life forms, unaware of what had happened, all lay prostrate on the deck, desperately seeking refuge.
The communication devices of the six cardinals simultaneously emitted a series of notification sounds.
The voice sounded like a death knell, filling the faces of the cardinals with panic.
They sensed that terrifying energy, and the surroundings were pitch black because they were surrounded by unknown creatures that blocked out the starlight.
They might have been ambushed!
"This power is terrifying! We must run!"
"Escape pod! Escape pod! Find the escape pod! Stop talking!"
The cardinals were shouting in panic.
Creak! Creak! Creak!
A piercing sound rang out.
The entire hull of the spaceship appeared to have been torn open with a large gash.
The weightless environment of space instantly permeated the warship.
The silicon-based lifeforms, which had been lying prone on the ground, were unable to control their bodies and helplessly rose into the air, floating up.
With a whoosh!
The sound of a longsword being drawn came from somewhere, accompanied by a metallic hum and vibration.
Immediately afterwards, a scarlet crescent moon appeared again and again from inside the warship, marking the trails of blood gushing forth after a longsword pierced through a body.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"
The piercing screams and terrified howls traveled through strange wavelengths to the ears of the Zerg.
"Run! Run! Get out of here!"
Silicon-based life forms can communicate through sound even in the cosmic environment; perhaps this is their innate talent.
However, such talent paled in comparison in the face of battle, and was completely suppressed in the face of absolute strength.
Aura's legs were trembling. He stood up from his chair in the command center and hurriedly found the escape pod hidden next to the driver's seat.
Aura mechanically pressed the buttons on the control panel, muttering to herself:
"Open it quickly, open it quickly..."
At this moment, Aura was in a panic and out of his mind; all he wanted was to escape as quickly as possible.
As for who ambushed them and slaughtered them, he no longer wanted to investigate.
Silicon-based life forms have offended too many forces, so when faced with such a situation, they can only run away.
In the universe outside the starships, warships of silicon-based life continue to traverse the space teleportation channels.
However, the warships in front did not move, causing a traffic jam.
The silicon-based life forms that arrived later saw that the area in front of the starship was pitch black, so they turned on their searchlights.
One powerful beam after another pierced through the cosmic dust, illuminating this dark scene.
At this point, the six space-class warships and more than twenty war fortress-class warships were on the verge of exhaustion.
The fleet behind realized that something might have happened ahead.
They couldn't help but turn on their communicators, hoping to contact the cardinal at the front.
But the next second, one slender figure after another appeared in front of the searchlight.
The lights illuminated their figures and appearances.
Silver-white hair, a cold expression, gray eyes filled with anger, uniform black combat clothes, and two insect antennae standing upright on the top of his head.
The silicon-based lifeforms paled in shock. These were the Zerg! The interstellar Zerg!
They have the exact same biological characteristics as the female insects they auctioned before!
The combat command room of a small warship.
Before the commander could even give the order to attack, with a whoosh, the female insect wielding a spear and halberd instantly threw out her weapon.
The next second, the weapon pierced through the cockpit and slammed onto the starship's deck.
"Hah...Hah..." The commander could no longer speak, only making meaningless sounds.
He stared wide-eyed in disbelief, stiffly moving his neck as he looked down at his own chest.
A large hole had been pierced through it, and blood was gushing out. His mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't say anything.
It seemed to be an accusation, asking why, why, he died so easily!
Upon seeing the starship commander die, the Zerg swiftly moved to the front of the warship, forcefully pulling it outwards with both hands.
The small opening was torn open and continued to expand. Then the Zerg reached out and summoned their spears, which returned along the same path.
With a "pfft".
The silicon-based life form in front of him, which was not quite dead yet, felt another sharp pain, and then its eyes completely lost their luster.
The splattered blood stained the interstellar female's body, face, and clothes, even turning her eyelashes crimson.
The horrific scenes unfolding around them filled the still-safe silicon-based life forms with fear and regret.
They stood there trembling, seemingly unable to understand why the female insects lying in their auction venue had become so strong at this moment.
This time, everyone thought of the Duke of Morgan.
What kind of person has that damned Duke Morgan messed with?!
There are not many interstellar races that can move freely in the universe.
Those powerful beings who can come and go freely like these silver-haired female insects have already surpassed the limits of their species.
The female insects are like killing gods; after a single, fatal blow, they never linger and immediately rush to the next target.
They wielded the stag beetle's spears and halberds, reaping the lives of one silicon-based organism after another.
As for those silicon-based lifeforms who attempted to escape in the escape pods, several silver-haired female insects blocked their path the moment the pods were ejected.
The silver-haired female insect seemed to have anticipated their escape route. With a sweep of her spear, the sturdy escape pod was immediately pierced through with a large hole.
The blood of silicon-based life splattered onto the transparent porthole of the escape pod, and then slowly flowed out through the crack.
At this moment, in the foremost spaceship...
Hearing the cries of the silicon-based life forms around her, Aura stood up nervously, wanting to step into the escape pod, praying to get out of there quickly.
But the next second...
Aura suddenly felt her body become heavy.
He had just stepped one foot into the escape pod, but he couldn't get his other foot through.
His feet felt as if they were bound by heavy shackles, rendering him unable to move.
Immediately afterwards, a warm liquid landed on Aura's arm.
He slowly lowered his head, and when he saw the bloody holes in his body, he realized: Oh, he had no strength because he could no longer control his body.
The cardinal in white robes, who controlled a cosmic-class warship and was second only to the Queen, was about to join her in death before he could even complete his mission?
Having thought this through, Aura closed her eyes completely.
The body, now devoid of conscious control, slowly floated within the starship, as if wandering through the universe.
Then, a red crystal slowly precipitated from his body, transformed into red light, and vanished in an instant, entering the universe through the broken hole in the starship.
Upon seeing this, the silver-haired female insect quickly took out the quantum computer on her wrist and recorded this magical moment.
Above this area.
Li Qing, who controls the Yaozu starship, is hiding here.
Li Qing excitedly broadcasted what he had seen to the Yao people.
"Wow! Wow! I didn't know female insects were this powerful!"
Li Qing watched with great excitement. He swung his not-so-strong arm and, imitating the Zerg, threw a weak punch.
It was only then that the Yao Clan realized what an amazing place they had landed in and what an amazing mate they had found.
Only Han Ling, far away on the capital planet, saw this scene and sighed in despair.
"Oh dear, these spendthrifts! They've just ruined the starship like this!"
These are six space-class warships! These are more than twenty war fortress-class warships!
If we could incorporate so many warships, what a powerful force that would be!
"And I originally wanted Li Qing to capture their warships as spoils of war from the Yao Clan to the Zerg, to announce our cooperation!"
Han Ling's heart was bleeding; she felt extremely sorry for him.
Roderick, who was standing nearby, explained what he saw:
"Sir, if we can't break through the starship's outer shell defenses, the female insect won't be able to get inside and capture people."
The destruction of the starship's outer shell was inevitable, but the interior was relatively well-preserved; with some repairs, it could be used again.
Hearing this, Han Ling nodded, though it hurt.
"That's all we can do. We'll try to repair it and hopefully it will still be usable. We'll also hope that the starship's propulsion system hasn't been destroyed."
It should be noted that Li Qing's fleet this time consumed all of Han Ling's energy points stored in the system.
That's all real money!
Now that he has fallen back into poverty, Han Ling can't stand seeing others waste money.
Ten hours later.
Li Qing's perspective disappeared.
Han Ling led Roderick out of the mental dimension.
After the two regained consciousness, Roderick's personal computer beeped.
Emperor Star sent a message:
[The matter has been completely resolved. All the female insects have been rescued. After examination with Lord Li Qing's spiritual power, 6.78 million female insects were found, with no casualties.]
Seeing that everything was settled, Han Ling stood up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and smiled at Roderick:
"Let's go, everything's settled, we need to get back to our business."
Roderick nodded, picked up Han Ling with one hand, and leaped into the air with a powerful kick.
He followed the smooth passage and jumped directly into the doorway built into the ceiling, which was three stories high.
When they stepped out of the protective basement space, they saw that it was already drizzling on Capital Star.
Han Ling reached out in surprise and touched the rainwater.
"It doesn't seem to be the rainy season now?"
Roderick explained:
"This is artificial rain, designed to wash away the filth left by the interstellar beasts. It will probably last for three days before disappearing."
Hearing this, Han Ling nodded and smiled.
"The matter has been resolved. Come with me. We'll go to Planet Aphrodite. It's been a long time since we've been back, so I'll take you there for a visit."
Because of the clash between the two matters, Roderick specifically asked Admiral Ulysses for leave.
Taking advantage of the holiday, Han Ling wanted to take Roderick on a trip.
Anyway, once I got back, there wasn't much to do besides exercising.
Roderick's eyes lit up:
"Alright. But before I leave, I need to report to the marshals that, except in special circumstances, I cannot move around freely and must submit an application."
Han Ling nodded:
"Okay, then you go ahead. I'll go find Parsons first to discuss the get-together, and also build a space teleportation channel to Aphrodite."
"After you're done talking, say something to me on your personal terminal, and I'll come pick you up."
Roderick nodded in agreement, and the two then went their separate ways.
Roderick turned and returned to the headquarters of the Third Protective Legion to find the Marshal of the Third Protective Legion.
Han Ling then used his personal terminal to contact Parsons, wanting to say goodbye before leaving.
At that moment, Parsons was scolding his younger brother.
He pointed his finger hard at Pat's head and scolded him with exasperation:
"You're such a pig-brain! If someone tells you to go upstairs with them, you'll go upstairs with them? If they were any more capable, you'd be a dead worm by now, as stupid as worm droppings!"
Pat scratched his head and retorted:
"I didn't know about this. We're all female insects, what do I have to be wary of! Besides, you've been scolding me for three days because of this! I'm taking nutritional supplements now, and I only spilled a little bit, why are you bringing this up again?"
Pat was testing the limits of what was about to be hit, and just as he was about to be hit again, Parson's personal computer rang.
