Chapter 133 Unexpected Reunion

Two days later.

Within the subspace, the Black Light was traveling at faster-than-light speed.

Inside the command room, Su Mo sat sideways on the throne, propping his chin with one hand, constantly pondering about the events on Negative Star.

The more he thought about it, the more of a headache it became, as if he was stuck in a dead end.

First of all, if what Icarus was doing failed, they might face the worst possible outcome. But even if it succeeded, it seemed like they still wouldn't necessarily survive.

Thinking of this, Su Mo couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

The Creator·Devourer said to Su Mo, "Don't think so much, just take things one step at a time."

"Okay."

Su Mo nodded slightly.

At this moment, an operator reported to Sun Duo Xiang.

"Lord Sun Duo Xiang, the faster-than-light drive is about to reach its maximum capacity."

"Count down ten seconds, then end faster-than-light travel."

Sun Duo Xiang waved his hand, issuing the order with great flair. This feeling was just too exhilarating for him.

"10s"

"9s"

.....

"0s"

"Ending faster-than-light travel."

The operator reported.

A ripple spread through the star space as the Black Light emerged from subspace.

Inside the command room, Su Mo and the others felt no unusual vibration. If it were any other Star Destroyer, even the Shadow of Calamity would experience noticeable shaking and jolting when ending faster-than-light travel, but not this ship.

"Very stable."

Su Mo was increasingly satisfied.

Artificial Intelligence·Zero issued a warning at this moment.

"23.92 million kilometers from the Black Light, unidentified fleet detected."

"Identifying ship sequence."

"Identification failed."

......

Sun Duo Xiang and the others saw Zero's alert and exchanged glances, somewhat puzzled.

To encounter a fleet like this.

Su Mo also got up from the throne at this moment.

"What's the situation?"

"We've scanned a group of ships, but the specifics are unclear. We're adjusting the long-range optical imaging device to get a closer look."

Katur said in a deep voice.

"Okay."

Su Mo nodded slightly.

Time passed bit by bit, and the operators continued to input commands.

Soon, a holographic image captured by the optical device appeared, and everyone could clearly see in the distant star space, ships of various types advancing at full speed.

These ships not only differed in type, but even the painted logos were different.

There were those of the High Motos Empire, as well as the Second Cradle and the Kingdom of Wind.

Su Mo immediately realized what was happening and said,

"This is the great migration fleet from back then."

"No way, didn't they set off a long time ago? How have they only gotten this far?"

Sun Duo Xiang's expression turned astonished upon hearing this.

"They're all bulky motherships and transport ships, how fast do you expect them to go? It's already pretty good that they've made it this far."

Su Mo made a slight estimate.

"Alright."

Sun Duo Xiang nodded.

"Lord Su Mo, something's not quite right."

Katur said, narrowing his eyes.

Su Mo subconsciously asked,

"What's not right?"

"Look closely, my lord. From the holographic image, you can see the exhaust flames of their ships. You can tell that these ships are traveling at full speed. What are they fleeing from?"

Katur said with keen eyes.

"You're overthinking it. What else could they be fleeing from? They're already fleeing from disaster; what's so strange about it?"

Sun Duo Xiang retorted dismissively.

Su Mo pondered for a moment and said, "Fly over and take a look."

"Okay!"

Katur nodded.

In the star space, the Black Light sped towards the fleeing fleet.

At this time, a high-speed Level 5 mothership at the very front saw the Black Light approaching.

Immediately, a young female voice rang out on the public communication channel.

"The ship ahead, don't come any closer!"

"Turn around now!"

......

Inside the Black Light's command room.

Sun Duo Xiang listened to the voice on the public channel and looked at his boss with a strange expression.

"Boss, they're telling us to turn around!"

"Ask her what's going on."

Su Mo asked in a deep voice.

"Got it."

Sun Duo Xiang quickly responded.

So Sun Duo Xiang cleared his throat and replied, "Hello, could you please tell us why you're telling us to turn around?"

"The monsters behind are about to catch up. Are you planning to go and die? Turn around quickly."

The woman on the public communication channel reminded them quickly.

"Thank you for your reminder, but we don't plan to turn around."

Su Mo replied directly.

"You're really crazy, do as you wish."

The woman on the communication channel also thought Su Mo and the others were crazy.

Soon, the Black Light encountered the fleeing fleet, the Black Light, like a fish swimming against the current, continued to navigate through the numerous ships.

A large number of fleeing ships saw the Black Light, and their first reaction was to shout on the public channel.

"Don't go forward, there are monsters ahead, turn around and flee!"

......

Unfortunately, the Black Light continued to advance straight ahead.

Inside the command room, Sun Duo Xiang turned his head and said to his boss.

"Boss, it seems like the situation really isn't good. They really seem to be chased by monsters."

"I know, let's go meet those monster tides."

Su Mo replied calmly.

"Got it!"

Sun Duo Xiang responded with a bright smile.

In the star space, many fleeing ships saw that their dissuasion was ineffective, so they became curious and began to observe this ship moving in reverse. Many people discussed on the public channel.

"What kind of ship is that?"

"I'm not sure."

"Looks like a Star Destroyer?"

"Star Destroyers aren't that small, right? But this ship looks really advanced. The ship's design and the texture of its outer armor look super beautiful."

"Is it possible that all the funding was spent on the appearance when this ship was built?"

"Ah? Now that you mention it, that does seem possible."

......

On the Black Light.

Su Mo listened to everyone's discussion, and his expression became even stranger.

"Boss, these guys really don't know what's good for them. How could our ship be just a pretty vase?"

Sun Duo Xiang was almost dying of laughter.

"They don't know what's good for them!"

Katur snorted coldly from the side.

"Haha, alright, don't worry about it."

Su Mo smiled and replied.

At this time, Artificial Intelligence·Zero suddenly reported.

"Warning! Scanning VI type Fortress-class·Combined Beast·Negative God cell infected body."

"Warning! Scanning V type Lord-class alien species·Black Bat Beast."

......

Rows of prompts popped up, and at the same time, the edges of the entire radar scanning system were all red dots, the most conspicuous of which was the Combined Beast.

Su Mo put away the smile on his face and immediately gave an order to Katur.

"Accelerate and fly over there!"

"Yes!"

Katur nodded in response.

As Su Mo got closer, at the rear of the fleeing fleet, all the voices on the public channel turned into terrified and panicked cries for help.

"This is the Inkfish, we've been hit by a monster attack, propulsion device No. 2 is damaged, speed is decreasing, there are 130,000 people on board, requesting rescue!"

"This is Gesang, we're about to be caught up by the monsters, save us!"

......

"Hold on, the Alliance has dispatched a new mecha squadron to cover you, don't panic, as long as there's a glimmer of hope, the Alliance won't abandon you."

A steady voice rang out on the communication channel.

When Su Mo heard this voice, his eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Boss, that voice sounds so familiar?"

Sun Duo Xiang scratched his head and said.

"Li Ruiqi."

Su Mo reminded Sun Duo Xiang.

"The federal refugee fleet is in here too."

Sun Duo Xiang immediately realized.

"That's right, if we're not mistaken, Li Ruiqi and the others must be reluctant to abandon those slower ships and are directing from the rear."

Su Mo said.

"Then, then, boss, we have to go help quickly."

"Zero, load the main cannon!"

Su Mo gave the order directly.

"Yes, loading Dimensional Fission Cannon."

Artificial Intelligence·Zero responded immediately.

......

At this time, behind the fleeing fleet.

Inside the command room of the standard Star Destroyer·Crystal Light.

Through the optical imaging device, you could see medium-sized transport ships being swarmed by monsters.

Monsters were directly latching onto the ships.

Mechas desperately rushed up to kill the monsters, trying to help the ships break free.

But the monsters were frantically destroying the outer armor of the ships and drilling inside.

Screams echoed constantly on the public channel!

Despite the rescue efforts, ships continued to fall one after another.

Kalinsha reported anxiously to Li Ruiqi.

"Lord Li Ruiqi, we can't stay here any longer. That VI type Combined Beast is shifting towards us. If we continue to block it, we'll be locked on, and then we'll really be finished!"

Li Ruiqi's face was exceptionally ugly. He understood what Kalinsha was saying.

But there were a large number of Alliance ships being bitten by the trailing monster tide. There were at least tens of millions of people on board, including more than eight million from the Federation alone.

These were all living lives.

At this moment, a holographic image connected, and Yanas Kingdom Commander Bei Luo said to Li Ruiqi.

"Lord Li Ruiqi, there's no way to turn the tide. Let's retreat! If we continue like this, we'll all be bitten. And that VI type Combined Beast is shifting towards us. We're no match for it at all."

"I understand, let's retreat."

After saying these words, Li Ruiqi seemed to have aged several years.

Just then, a piercing alarm sounded on the Crystal Light.

"Warning, ship locked on by VI type Fortress-class·Combined Beast!"

"How is that possible, it's still so far away!"

Everyone present was stunned.

Li Ruiqi suddenly reacted and gave the order.

"Energy barrier at full power, ship's bow hard shift to the left +2.3 degrees!" "No, we can't dodge it!"

"Execute the order!"

The high-speed shift caused people in the command room to stagger.

In the star space, the VI type Fortress-class·Combined Beast·Negative God cell infected body cracked open a terrifying gap, emitting scarlet lightning. On its bloated body, countless embedded monsters emitted painful wails.

In an instant, an extremely terrifying red beam of light shot out from a super long distance, blasting towards the Crystal Light and other ships.

Watching the beam of destruction, Li Ruiqi and the others' hearts were in their throats. If this hit them head-on, they would be crippled even if they didn't die.

Just then, the Black Light sped over and happened to block in front of the fleet.

The scarlet beam full of destructive power directly hit the Black Light's barrier. Instead of exploding, the Black Light's barrier flickered like starlight, directly swallowing the scarlet beam.

Inside the Black Light's command room.

Artificial Intelligence·Zero reported.

"Super Energy Shield absorption successful!"

"Energy conversion complete!"

"Dimensional Fission Cannon fully charged!"

"Fire!"

Su Mo waved his hand sharply to issue the order.

The Black Light's main cannon instantly emitted a terrifying blue lightning, and the next second, a blue beam flashing with lightning shot out.

It instantly hit the VI type Fortress-class·Combined Beast·Negative God cell.

Crack!

Its scarlet force field barrier shattered instantly.

The blue beam flashing with lightning slammed into its At-field armor, and the entire At-field armor shattered like a mirror.

Then, the Dimensional Fission Cannon struck the VI type Fortress-class·Combined Beast, turning into countless spatial rifts that tore and spread open.

With the Combined Beast as the center, the space distorted and collapsed.

In an instant, countless cracks appeared all over the Combined Beast, and its body's biological tissue continued to shatter and disintegrate.

The surrounding monsters were instantly crushed as well.

Inside the Black Light's command room.

Su Mo was personally witnessing the Black Light's main cannon attack through the optical device.

When the attack ended, the VI type Fortress-class·Combined Beast's entire body was largely shattered, and its biological reactions plummeted. It was clear that it had suffered severe damage, but it had not died.

"Strange, it didn't die in one shot?"

Su Mo looked at this result and asked in confusion, clearly seeing that the power was so strong.

Artificial Intelligence·Zero said at this time, "The Dimensional Fission Cannon is not meant to kill with one blow. Its effect is to dismantle the enemy's force field barrier and armor defense, while weakening their life activity. It is specially used to deal with high-dimensional life forms and powerful enemies."

"Ah, is that so?"

"If you want to kill with one blow, it is recommended to use the Dark Matter Cannon. The Dark Matter Cannon is known as the strongest spear. This ship has a three-synergy system, which can simultaneously charge three main cannons for combined use."

Artificial Intelligence·Zero suggested.

When Su Mo heard Artificial Intelligence·Zero's words, his expression was a little unnatural. It was as if he wasn't familiar with his own equipment.

"Ahem, hurry up and charge it, charge it up and destroy it."

"Executing the order, full power charge! No. 1 power unit·Dimensional Star power at full, No. 2 power unit·Dark Matter Core power at full, No. 3 Disaster Star power at full!"

Artificial Intelligence·Zero replied.

The next second, the charging progress of the Dark Matter Cannon rose wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Sun Duo Xiang couldn't help but say.

"Damn! That's so fast."

In just a few tens of seconds, the Dark Matter Cannon's charge directly soared to 60%.

Su Mo's eyelids were twitching as he watched. He knew this ship was abnormal, but he didn't expect it to be this abnormal.

"Fire!"

Artificial Intelligence·Zero directly issued the attack order.

A black beam of light suddenly shot towards the half-dead VI type Fortress-class·Combined Beast·Negative God cell, instantly piercing through its vital point.

The VI type Fortress-class·Combined Beast·Negative God cell let out a wail before completely disintegrating and perishing.

On the Crystal Light.

Li Ruiqi and the others were frozen in place. They looked in disbelief at the suddenly emerging Star Destroyer.

It was too strong, so strong that it subverted their understanding.

They now felt that the whole world was a little unreal. Such a strong Combined Beast was actually destroyed without even having a chance to resist.

Just then, a communication request popped up.

Kalinsha looked at the pop-up communication request and said to Li Ruiqi in astonishment.

"They're sending us a communication request."

"Connect it."

Although Li Ruiqi didn't know who the ship belonged to, based on the fact that they had helped him block a fatal attack, he could tell that they should be friends, not enemies.

The next second, Su Mo's virtual image appeared, and he said with a smile.

"Lord Li Ruiqi, long time no see."

"Su Mo!"

......

Li Ruiqi couldn't remain calm at this time, his expression filled with disbelief.

Kalinsha on the side was also dumbfounded, and then shouted excitedly.

"Su Mo! Is that you?"

"Yes, it's me. Let's not talk about that now, I'll help you intercept the incoming monster tide first, you gather your escorts and mechas to rescue people."

Su Mo said quickly.

"Okay!"

Li Ruiqi responded without saying a word.

"We'll catch up later!"

Su Mo said and cut off the communication.

Inside the Black Light's command room.

Su Mo waved his hand at Katur and gave the order: "Take action!"

"Understood!"

A hint of a sinister smile appeared on Katur's face, and he issued the order.

"Initiate spatial jump!"

"Initiating!"

Artificial Intelligence·Zero responded.

In the star space, the Black Light's entire body began to distort, and then it disappeared in an instant.

The next second, the Black Light jumped directly into the middle of the monster tide that was covering the sky. Countless blue crack circuits appeared on the surface of the entire ship, and these cracks emitted a brilliant halo.

In an instant, the space within millions of kilometers of the Black Light resonated and became very unstable.

Boom~

The entire star space suddenly collapsed.

Countless monsters were directly swept into the collapse and turned into ashes.

On the radar scanning barrier, patches of red dots disappeared almost completely.

For a time, the monster tide trailing behind became very sparse, and because of the loss of the Combined Beast's guidance, many infected monsters wandered aimlessly in other directions.

They no longer chased after the fleeing fleet.

Countless fleeing ships were stunned by this scene.

On the public channel, cheers of ecstasy rang out constantly.

"Too strong."

"It looks like we've been saved."

"That's great."

......

Soon, the fleeing fleet began to stop and sent troops back to rescue their lagging companions.

They also cleaned up some wandering monsters that had slipped through the net.

Inside the Black Light's command room.

Sun Duo Xiang reported to Su Mo excitedly: "Boss, this power is just too awesome. If we had this thing when we were getting ganged up on by the Sleepers, it would have been a harvesting machine!"

"Yeah, indeed."

Su Mo was also a little emotional. This ship really deserved its reputation.

He finally understood why Empress Shen had to have this ship buried with her back then. If this ship remained in the hands of the Black Light Empire, it would be a nightmare once the God Race lost control of the Black Light Empire.

"Receiving a communication request from the Crystal Light."

Artificial Intelligence·Zero reminded.

"Connect it."

Su Mo replied very simply.

Soon, the images of Li Ruiqi and the others appeared, and he said to Su Mo.

"Thank you so much, Su Mo. You came to support us at the right time. I wanted to ask, did you come here to convey any special information, is there any new changes on the Negative Universe side?"

"Ahem, you may have misunderstood. I really happened to run into you, I didn't come here to support you on purpose, so there's no information to convey. As for the Negative Universe, I'm on my way back."

Su Mo gave Li Ruiqi a rough explanation.

After listening, Li Ruiqi sighed, he thought there was a turning point.

"I understand."

Then, Su Mo said solemnly to Li Ruiqi: "Take a short break and continue to the Zeroth Star Territory. Be sure not to return to the Negative Universe, the situation there is very serious now."

"What happened over there?"

Li Ruiqi's expression changed and he asked quickly.

"I can't explain the specifics in a short time, I have urgent matters to rush back to, so I won't chat with you."

Su Mo said goodbye to Li Ruiqi and the others.

At this time, Kalinsha bit her lip and asked, "Su Mo, will we ever meet again?"

"Yes, as long as I'm still alive, we'll meet again."

Su Mo gave Kalinsha a faint smile and replied.

"Okay, then don't keep us waiting too long."

Kalinsha looked at Su Mo with a bright smile.

"Okay! Goodbye! I wish you all the best."

Su Mo nodded and waved goodbye to Li Ruiqi and the others.

"You too, all the best."

Li Ruiqi and the others waved goodbye to Su Mo.

Su Mo turned his head and said to Katur, "Let's go!"

"Understood!"

Katur then entered the command, controlling the ship to re-enter faster-than-light travel.

In the star space, ripples appeared in the star space in front of the Black Light, and the entire ship silently integrated into the dark star space, disappearing in an instant.

Crystal Light·Observation Deck.

Kalinsha stood on the observation deck, watching the disappearing figure of the Black Light, her eyes slightly moist.

She originally thought that she would never see him again after saying goodbye before, but she didn't expect to meet again here.

She didn't know if there would be another chance to meet after this farewell.

......

-----------------------------

Negative Universe·Ring Star Sea.

Monsters infected with Negative God cells were launching a frenzied attack on the City of Radiance, braving the dense firepower.

Beams of light fell on the City of Radiance, and huge explosions swept away, collapsing towering buildings.

The people hiding in the underground shelters were all terrified.

Children cried incessantly.

"Daddy, I'm scared..."

"Be good, don't be afraid, it'll be over soon."

"How long do we have to hide?"

"I don't know."

......

The many people hiding there all had bewildered and fearful expressions, with a hint of despair in their eyes.

Since the Wisdom Serpent was repelled, the situation of the City of Radiance had not improved, but had instead worsened.

Countless monster tides came one after another.

The City of Radiance's terrifying firepower was weakening continuously, and a large number of monsters broke in, wreaking havoc on the City of Radiance.

If it weren't for the City of Radiance's armor and foundation being very strong, it would have been finished long ago.

Inside the command room.

Kuna reported anxiously to Gory.

"The City of Radiance's damage rate has reached 34%, it will be dangerous if it continues to be damaged. And our ammunition is less than 20%, it won't work if we continue like this."

"We have to hold on, even if it's impossible."

Gory replied in a deep voice.

"Lord Gory..."

Kuna wanted to say something more.

"You don't need to say anything more, I will not evacuate, and I will not leave alone. I said before, I will hold on to the end."

But Gory raised her hand and interrupted Kuna's words.

Seeing that Gory was so determined, Kuna didn't know what to do. If Lord Gory really had an accident.

How could she explain it to Lady Icarus?

ps: Sorry, the higher-ups are coming down for inspection tomorrow, and I need to have a meeting in the evening to arrange things, please forgive me.
