The general looked at the princess.
"Take them away? I don't understand what you mean."
“The Life Ring spaceship has no coordinates, so no one can find it. We can escape.” The princess looked directly at the general.
The general was puzzled: "How can a cell that hasn't even produced flesh and blood, nor has any thought, make you so cowardly?"
The princess didn't speak, but lowered her head slightly. She wasn't wearing a helmet, so the general and the person in charge could clearly see the confusion on her face.
“I understand how you feel.” The person in charge crossed his arms. “That’s why we can’t leave our genes behind. The Ring Clan also has feelings.”
The general looked at the princess.
“You should know,” he said slowly, “that I will not allow anyone to beat me, and I will destroy that transport ship.”
After a moment of silence, the princess looked up and said, "I understand."
The helmet extended from the collar of her armor, its light covering her beautiful face before transforming into a metallic solid.
"Let's just destroy the embryo," the general suddenly said.
"No!" The seemingly calm princess suddenly shouted in rejection.
"It is unwise to let a cell that does not yet have thought influence you; it will make you hesitate, slow your actions, and ultimately kill you."
"But it might have saved my life!" The princess stepped forward, her tall figure allowing her to meet the general's gaze with just a slight tilt of her head. "I will live for my child!"
“Don’t get agitated,” the general said, placing a hand on her shoulder. “You’ve misunderstood me. Whether you destroy it or preserve it, I’ll approve as long as it’s in your best interest—to me, you’re more important than the children.”
The princess's tense body finally relaxed.
She nodded slowly: "I know, I was too excited. I don't know why either. Maybe it's just an excuse for the child. I'm scared and want to desert."
“My princess is not a coward,” Zhou laughed. “After we destroy the transport ship, let’s escape—you, me, and that cell.”
"It's a child!" The princess punched the general in the stomach.
"Let's wait until he grows a brain."
The princess seemed to roll her eyes at him, then turned her gaze to the person in charge: "In the upcoming operation, the general and I will do our utmost to protect you and the spaceship. After the mission is completed, you will take us to the nearest civilization."
Let's run away together.
"What?" The general and the princess looked at the person in charge.
The person in charge said in a calm and nonchalant tone: "I have violated the rules of the life ring. I have no reason to stay and wait to die. As you said, this ship did not leave any coordinates. I can drive it anywhere."
The general suddenly clapped.
The two of them instinctively looked at him.
The general said, "This is the true life ring, a spaceship that even the race itself cannot communicate with. This is the spark of civilization."
The person in charge looked at him for two seconds and then ordered the spacecraft: "Seal all genes, suspend embryo synthesis, and stop the growth of babies."
The lights went out one by one, as if something was walking towards them.
Thump!
The last glimmer of light disappeared, leaving only the faintest light in the baby tank in the hydroponics center. If you didn't get close, you couldn't even see the baby clearly.
The three of them seemed to be standing in a dim sea of light.
"If we are defeated, I will rebuild the Ring Clan as compensation for my betrayal," the person in charge wrote casually.
The general thought she spoke in a very peculiar way.
“Perhaps we can negotiate,” the princess said with a smile. “The Marshal’s Corps will allow us to escape as a precaution against any potential threat to our race. Of course, if we are caught, they will certainly execute us.”
“You could talk to your grandfather,” the general suggested.
A glimmer of light appeared in the dark sea of light, and the general pressed his personal terminal.
"General, Princess, time's up." Taina's icy voice came from the other end of the terminal.
"Understood." The general turned off his personal terminal and said to the two, "Taina is a brave female warrior."
As the three left the nursery, gravity weakened, and they floated as if flying in the center of the hexagonal prism passageway.
“Krt looks a bit stupid,” the princess said.
"I met him at Locke."
“I know,” the princess said with a smile. “The Battle of Locke, my fiancé’s battle of fame, where the general single-handedly withstood seven attacks from the Divine Will. When the support ships arrived, the planet Locke was shattered into rocks—I will tell it as a bedtime story for our children.”
"Don't get me wrong, I was a second lieutenant back then." The general smiled.
He added, “Kert was one of the few soldiers who survived that war. He was hit three times by the Divine Spear, and the fourth hit almost killed him, but he did not give in. He pulled out a golden spear and used it to kill another Divine Man and seriously wound another—I saw it with my own eyes, and that’s how I saved him.”
"I've heard that the Divine Will Golden Spear is always effective. How many times were you hit?" the princess asked.
"I almost turned into a spiky beast!"
The princess laughed so hard she almost fell over, unable to control her floating body. The general grabbed her arm to prevent her head from hitting the wall.
"This...this is something I also want to tell the children! Hahaha!" The princess laughed until her body went limp, and she was completely dragged away by the general.
The general noticed that the person in charge was looking at him. He looked over, but the other person avoided his gaze.
Amid the princess's laughter, the general raised his helmet, and the three of them floated into the bridge and landed on the ground.
"Let's begin," the general ordered.
The refining of micronized metals produces micronized secondary gas, a transparent gas that turns into an exceptionally soft solid when subjected to a strong impact.
Everyone sat down in their seats.
