Chapter 32

Seeing the engines of the XT-489 fleet in the light screen being corroded away by the toxic gas, the two hundred-plus ships hung in the void like kites with broken strings.

Bursts of toxic gas swirled like vortices, pulling them bit by bit into the depths of the star system.

At the same time, the XT-489 fleet also continuously emitted yellowish white smoke during this process,

Just as if they were being continuously evaporated in a vortex of a turquoise puddle.

Hiss——————

Foul, yellowish, muddy smoke rose from one frigate after another, and in an instant, over a hundred frigates were all shrouded in smoke.

Cracked and decaying metal loomed in the white smoke, only to quickly dissolve into the toxic gas.

A moment later, even the smoke disappeared, and the frigates evaporated along with it.

"This?!"

March 7th widened her eyes as she watched this scene, unable to help but grab a handful of potato chips and stuff them into her mouth to dispel her unease:

"This is still just at the edge of the star system, where the toxic gas is thinnest, and it actually evaporated hundreds of frigates this big?!"

Frigates are considered small warships, but this "small" is only relative.

A single frigate is almost as massive as a building with over a hundred floors.

Over a hundred frigates, at the edge of this star system, were wiped out by the thinnest toxic gas, evaporated on the spot.

March 7th couldn't help but glance at the triple-strength coffee on the table that no one dared to touch, and muttered in the smallest voice:

"I wonder which is more powerful, this toxic gas or Himeko's coffee."

"Hmm?" Himeko blinked in confusion: "Little March, did you say something just now?"

"No, no!" March 7th hurriedly waved her hands: "I didn't say anything, Himeko, you must have misheard."

"Oh, it must have been an auditory hallucination." Himeko nodded, then looked at the coffee on the table.

"Eh?"

"Why haven't you all drunk it yet? Drink up."

Himeko revealed a gentle smile:

"Coffee is only delicious when it's warm."

March 7th's expression twisted instantly.

"It really is just as Ratio said."

Aventurine rested his chin on his hand and said with great interest:

"This Zero-Element Armor is simply not worth mentioning in front of the Poison Saint's toxic gas."

"In just the blink of an eye, those frigates were corroded away."

"I wonder if those battleships and cruisers can hold out, at least to cause a little bit of damage to that Poison Saint."

Under Aventurine's gaze, a large amount of white smoke also rose from those larger battleships and cruisers.

Hideous holes were corroded out one by one, and the XT-489 inside the ships were exposed to the vacuum.

The toxic gas, like a hungry swarm of insects, drilled into the cabins through the corroded holes.

The XT-489 bodies contaminated by the toxic gas oxidized instantly, turning a hideous, withered yellow color.

And then, in the blink of an eye, they were eroded away and evaporated in the cabin.

These toxic gases seemed like living things, gnawing at the XT-489 ships.

Even a battleship as massive as a city could not withstand the corrosion, disappearing into the void in the blink of an eye.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the XT-489 fleet disappeared from the Emerald Light Envoy star system,

As if it had never existed, and as if it had never appeared.

"Just in the blink of an eye..."

"Zero-Element Armor could only linger for a moment in the thinnest part of the toxic gas."

"Is this the Poison Saint? Is this an Aeon Beast?"

Many living beings in the universe couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

This terrifying toxin, which easily dissolved over two hundred ships equipped with Zero-Element Armor,

Made people feel terrified, and many even felt that,

The power and destructive force of this Poison Saint might be no less than that of an average Emanator.

This was no longer a realm that mortals could contend with.

Just at this moment, the Calamity Empire fleet on the light screen began to mobilize...

【"Confirmed based on XT-489 ship Zero-Element Armor corrosion data: The toxic gas permeating around the Poison Saint has high corrosivity to any form of armor."】

【"Recommendation: Remove external ship armor, primarily equip dark matter deflector shields, large psionic shields, and crystal-forged plating."】

【"At the same time, use only ships above the Artoria-class battleship; it is recommended to deploy Millennium Alice-class Titans and Furina-class Titans."】

【"Also: It is recommended that each ship carry over five thousand units of psionics, ready to summon psionic avatars for live capture at any time."】

Three research arrays analyzed the Poison Saint's data, and then passed the combat plan to the frontline fleet through the command array.

After the frontline fleet received the order, the three research arrays began non-stop calculations again.

【"Calculate the penetration rate of the Poison Saint's toxicity against Aether Dragon dragon-scale armor."】

【"Analyze the ecosystem on the Poison Saint's back."】

【"Analyze the Poison Saint's influence mechanism on stars and planets."】

【"Analyze the taming method after capturing the Poison Saint alive..."】

"The Calamity Empire isn't planning to... tame the Poison Saint, are they?"

46. 【Furina-class Titan!】

"The Calamity Empire isn't planning to... tame the Poison Saint, are they?"

Someone in the universe couldn't help but ask this question.

In the tone of the Calamity Empire, it seemed they were planning to tame the Poison Saint,

To tame the Poison Saint that could corrode a star system, poison an entire star, and dissolve Zero-Element Armor.

"Impossible, the Poison Saint's toxic gas can decompose Zero-Element Armor even in its thinnest part! How is the Calamity Empire going to penetrate deep into this star system?"

"Heh, if you said the Calamity Empire used a star-system-level weapon to clear the entire star system along with the Poison Saint, I would believe it, but taming... I don't believe it!"

"Is the Poison Saint like a cat or a dog, that you can tame it by giving it a few slaps?"

On an uninhabited planet covered by ice and snow,

Ruan Mei looked at the small creature permeated with toxic gas before her.

This small creature resembled a jellyfish and had some similarities to the Poison Saint in the light screen.

It was a product Ruan Mei had barely managed to manufacture by imitating the Poison Saint in the light screen.

This tiny jellyfish released toxic gas, filling the sealed laboratory.

The steel placed in the laboratory instantly emitted white smoke and dissolved away.

But when it encountered the small piece of Zero-Element Armor synthesized by Ruan Mei, the tiny jellyfish's toxic gas could not corrode it.

And a few minutes later, the tiny jellyfish let out a wail, and white smoke also rose from its body.

It had been corroded by the toxins within its own body.

Ruan Mei couldn't help but shake her head.

It was indeed a failure.

The difficulty of recreating the Poison Saint was probably much greater than manufacturing an Emanator.

Even a similar product that had been degraded by who knows how many times was difficult to manufacture.

Thinking of this, Ruan Mei couldn't help but look at the light screen.

She was truly curious, curious about what method the Calamity Empire would use to tame the Poison Saint,

To tame this suspected descendant of a multi-dimensional existence, this toxic life form filled with poisonous divinity...

In the Herta Space Station, Herta pinched her chin, looking at the bizarre scene on the light screen.

She saw the Calamity Empire ships on the light screen deactivate their cloaking and appear on the periphery of the Emerald Light Envoy star system.

The fleet revealed by the Calamity Empire was much smaller than XT-489's.

There were only a dozen or so frigates and a few battleships guarding the twelve ships at the center.

But those twelve ships at the center of the array were so massive that it was unimaginable.

Those twelve ships were even more magnificent and vast than battleships.

A battleship the size of a small city placed beside these twelve ships was simply like a little person who had entered the land of giants.
