Chapter 1044 - 86: Warriors Among the Stars (Part 2)

The kinetic bomb silently brushed past, a near miss with the Death God, yet with no cannon roar, no whistling sound, no shock wave; the brain kept telling them it was dangerous, but the adrenaline stayed low, as if lacking direct stimulation, the body felt dull!

This strange feeling was only slightly relieved even when intense acceleration acted on their bodies:

How could there be such a strange feeling?

The kinetic bomb left no trace in the Universe, against the dark background, completely invisible, relying only on sunlight reflections for detection, or spotting a small red dot through an infrared detector.

As for missiles, missiles were like flashlights spewing subtle glimmers from the rear, without a trail.

It was as if the rules on Earth were a different set, in the Universe, all Earth experiences disappeared without a trace!

Everyone in the spaceship maintained an intricate solemnity on their faces, looking a bit dazed, then as the thrusters powered up, the acceleration hit them, making their expressions contorted like kids on a roller coaster...

Their brains kept screaming, but their bodies only occasionally screamed.

Soon, the intense maneuvering nearly cut off the blood supply to everyone’s brains, fortunately, the small octopus immediately took over their life-support systems, providing precise power to the circulatory system through external pressure, for Vortex Gang such aberrations, they even directly pumped fluids into external mechanical prosthetics for assisted circulation—

The structure of the human body destined the acceleration limit they could bear, but cyber technology can surpass this limit!

But their brains also began giving up on thinking, starting to intermittently scream, so everyone calmed down.

The only ones slightly better were Hansen and Lark, trained in this regard, as for Yorinobu, it wasn’t that he didn’t understand, he just put himself into a dazed state!

Lille could feel the idiotic expressions and states of these comrades, secretly mocking in his heart:

Once in the sky, when humans leave the ground, intelligence shuts down!

Intensive firepower slammed past the Universe time and again, everyone on the spaceship indeed felt this scene was too magical:

They seemed to be protected by God, like protagonists in those movies, not a bullet hit them!

[V: Damn, are we this lucky?! God bless Burger King!]

[Lille: Bless your head, without learning math and chemistry, life is full of miracles!]

Lille swiftly replied to V, but soon everyone on the spaceship shouted:

[Everyone: God bless Burger King!]

By this time, Lille had no spare time to deal with these self-entertaining companions, the evasion based on this spaceship’s extraordinarily advanced propulsion system:

The whole vessel design benefited from experts in the resistance army of Transformers and Titan World, with improvements realized by Lille, Munemasa, and Marvel World’s big shots, whether in fundamental thruster technology or the experience-dependent overall ship design, this ship’s value far exceeded companies by hundreds of years!

Shooting on a space scale, the computational power needed for the fire control system was originally unimaginable, this spaceship’s advanced electric propulsion system paired with cooperative calculations by Lille and several AIs, employing tens of micro-adjustments per second, through random pulse motion, was inherently beyond the aiming capability of the Crystal Palace defense system!

In their fire control system, this spaceship was like a ghost, a tangible position existing in an uncertain probability cloud on the target board, their probability of hitting this ship was very minimal, to achieve absolute accuracy, the whole cloud-like region needed coverage—

Crystal Palace couldn’t do this, no interception system of this era could!

As for those guided missiles, dealing with them was even simpler, electronic interference and short cold thrust gliding combined, hitting this spaceship was equivalent to hitting a ghostly apparition...

They couldn’t do it!

A ghost, a ghost wandering in the Universe, silently, unstoppable, heading towards them!

Finally, the spaceship broke through the interception zone, entering the shooting blind spot!

...

"Humans cannot endure that level of acceleration, are you sure there’s nothing hidden from us?"

[European Space Agency: Indeed, this is glaringly obvious, they’re not just the worst terrorists of this century, they’re simply not human!]

[European Space Agency: The roaming AI has begun to fabricate humans, started impersonating humans, now those attacking us are these "Pseudo-humans"...]

[European Space Agency: They’re here to destroy the Crystal Palace, which isn’t good for any of us.]

[European Space Agency: So, I say this is essentially a battle between humans and AI, we should put aside our past prejudices, aren’t we all humans anyway?]

"Hmph... They’re about to dock."

The person in communication with the European Space Agency was enormous in size, wearing an exoskeleton spacesuit, easily exceeding a height of two meters and three, completely a giant.

His body was enclosed tightly in the spacesuit, gazing at the spaceship through the glass—

Actually, the human eye finds it very difficult to directly catch things outside stellar bodies in the Universe, but he indeed seemed able to see, from the beginning he could see.

Behind him was a similarly enormous companion:

"European Space Agency never treated us as humans before, hearing this from them is somewhat ironic... Damn it, why are we working for the enemy?"

"For food, for resources, for survival... for the day we fully return to the embrace of the cosmic mother, wandering among the stars."

Upon hearing this, his companion’s dissatisfied mood quickly receded, both of them unwittingly placed their hands on their chests, as if making some sort of prayer in their hearts.

"They’re coming."

The silent space revealed no sound, as the unimaginably advanced spaceship was within reach.

"Our people are in position, how do you think they’ll board?"

"Don’t know... Hmm?"

The voice of confusion couldn’t be held back, for the two towering knights discovered the spaceship seemed not inclined to dock at all—

Upon careful thought, it seemed this ship didn’t even have... a docking port?

Hmm?

Their eyes hidden beneath the spacesuits widened further, akin to the approaching spaceship...

That thing was heading straight, seemingly about to charge into the topmost layer of the Crystal Palace!

"Run—"

Bang!

The hefty super glass was directly punctured, the entire Crystal Palace entered a state of war!

They truly came to destroy the Crystal Palace!

...

Out of fear, the observing knight didn’t see how the spaceship broke through the Crystal Palace’s outer wall, had they stayed to watch, they’d certainly be blown into space by the air pressure—

And actually, Lille didn’t really "crash" into the Crystal Palace, he used four robust mechanical arms akin to vehicles for boarding!

These mechanical arms first attacked the Crystal Palace’s glass arm like armor-piercing bullets, the sturdy glass arm merely shattered on first strike but didn’t break, so the mechanical arm directly activated the electrostatic absorption module, clawing onto it, then at zero distance, the mechanical claw internally launched armor-breaking tips, shattering the super glass the European Space Agency prided itself on!

This wasn’t a civilized boarding, and certainly not a covert espionage activity—

They intended to board like Pirates, a boarding attack!

Jack, donned in power armor, upon seeing the breach let out a wicked smile, then leaped through it!

"I’m one of the first Space Pirates in human history! Company dogs, your grandpa’s here!"
