Chapter 98: Even at the Ends of the Earth, We Must Pursue

Cannon fire rained down, covering sky and earth.

Hundreds of Chaos warships, led by the massive Ominous Sign Ark, surged toward the small fleet that Xisi had docked in orbit.

Only the first volley of Macro Cannon and Light Spear caused four outer escort and destroyer ships to burst into raging flames.

Dense fragments sprayed the crew's bodies, while the warships holding position in orbit slowly retreated on one side and launched a counterattack against these enemies who existed on a completely different dimension.

But the cruiser that Xisi was on, now transforming into a regular Moon-class cruiser, even when its cannons deliberately focused fire, only caused small shield ripples in front of Washituoer and Abadon's combined fleet.

Then Aolake piloted the Ominous Sign Ark, pressing down on Xisi's fleet like a mountain.

"Lord Sisi, we must return to the bridge immediately."

The Thousand-Child Supreme Wizard, braving the sky‑filled barrage of bombs and heavy weapons, forcibly activated a spiritual shield and flew to his side.

At the same time, they anxiously urged Xisi to return quickly.

Otherwise, with the orbital fleet destroyed, Xisi, left on the surface, would be overwhelmed by endless pirates and the Chaos Rebel Army.

"The rebel offensive is too strong; your safety cannot be compromised!"

The Supreme Wizard continued speaking, while Xiulun, crouched in a distant corner, stared blankly and glanced at the Thousand-Child who had spoken.

"Aren't you the rebels?!"

Xiulun muttered under his breath, and as Xisi faced his primary target's escape, Washituoer indeed rushed back recklessly, and could only teleport himself and his men back to orbit.

Just within the teleportation array summoned by the Thousand-Child Wizards, Xisi glanced at Xiulun before departing.

And Xiulun watched Xisi look at him; though he knew Xisi had no time to intervene, he still rose at once and deliberately addressed the pirate subordinates before Xisi:

"All personnel evacuate, ground forces evacuate, the fleet evacuates!"

"Fight? What fight?"

Xiulun suddenly extended his power claw, stabbing a pirate lord who had just asked the question, then, with a sidelong glance at Xisi still looking his way, his face turned utterly enraged:

"Whoever dares to fire a cannonball at Lord Sisi, I will send them on Terra's 'Redemption Expedition'!"

After seeing Xisi finally withdraw his gaze, and the pirate lord on the power claw, and hearing the phrase 'Terra Redemption Expedition' with an incredulous look, Xiulun's long‑suppressed expression finally became arrogant again.

At the same time, looking at his band of pirate subordinates, a grim smile spread across his face:

"We can't beat Xisi, let alone you?!"

Xisi finally vanished under the escort of the Thousand-Child Wizards, and as he watched Xisi depart, Xiulun let out a huge sigh of relief.

At this moment in orbit, the Moon-class bridge teleported Xisi back.

The entire ship, amid the cannon fire, kept shuddering under the unbearable strain.

Even as Xisi's front foot stepped onto the bridge, his rear foot saw, not far outside the porthole, a Sword-class escort ship covering the outer line; under two successive Light Spears and a Macro Cannon, its side burst into massive flames, wailing as it shattered, and countless crew were blown out by the gust.

"This is already the seventh ship, Lord Sisi, we must evacuate immediately."

Fanluosi stood at the command station, watching Xisi finally return, and hurriedly gave Xisi a quick report of the battle.

Having finished speaking, he immediately looked up and shouted at the crew below:

"All engines at full, pull away from these traitors immediately!"

Fanluosi's demeanor was fierce, but after the shout, the mortal crew below continued operating while unable to resist glancing around.

Fanluosi paused after speaking, but as a Judge, faced with the heretics and alien forms filling the bridge, he quickly found an explanation.

"These are demon troops, not rebels!"

His eyes spoke with righteous conviction, not noticing anything amiss.

Xisi quickly surveyed the situation, then walked straight to the Mechanical Throne at the heart of the warship.

"The remaining escort ships retreat behind the Moon-class, Moon-class shield power at full, the whole fleet withdraws in order, and after leaving orbit, Leap immediately!"

Xisi spoke swiftly, and at the same time another Macro Cannon struck the warship head‑on, causing the entire vessel to erupt in violent shudders.

Those around hurriedly grabbed the handrails; Xisi stood upright before the Mechanical Throne, hands clasped behind his back, projecting an image of calm composure to the crew.

Seeing their commander behave thus indeed cooled the already extremely agitated bridge considerably.

Then another series of impacts caused countless red specks to appear all over the warship.

Glancing at the red dots, Xisi looked toward Fanluosi, who instantly turned to organize and began dispatching counter‑attack units to those chaotic rebel troops of the jumping gang.

But after surveying, Fanluosi could only grit his teeth and send out the demon troops and alien forms.

Then came the noisy chatter on the Communicator as the Chaos Rebel Army was stunned by their own side.

At this moment on the Ominous Sign Ark, watching their own Terror being chased and hacked by the enemy's Terror, and their own Color Devil being toyed with by the enemy's Color Devil.

Our side's call for help to Na Gou, the Jianqi allies received a crushing blow, while the opposite Na Gou switched to become a 'nurse', and even the demigod Washituoer was left dumbfounded by the scene.

Moreover, Xisi's demon troops used these Blessings to slash many of Xiulun's core pirates.

Now Xiulun is just stealthily backstabbing to regain health; not immediately clashing with Abadon, which is already giving enough face.

Only Abadon admired the spectacular sight of Xisi being engulfed by endless cannon fire, while Washituoer, with a different curiosity, closely observed Xisi's ship that bore the appearance of a cruiser but the power of an Apocalypse‑class battleship, before finally turning his gaze back to Abadon.

"The fragment I gave you, you also gave him?"

Abadon froze with a smug expression upon hearing that, for although they had collected many fragments, even a single missing piece would render his and Washituoer's plan impossible.

Washituoer couldn't figure it out, while behind him Abadon watched Xisi, who was finally forced to retreat after being hammered by his own main force, and Abadon's face at last broke into a smug grin.

Later, faced with the Red Pirates behind constantly sneaking to backstab them, repeatedly seizing their ships and people, they chose to ignore it.

Besides, Xiulun didn't act much, and because of this outing, Xiulun was indeed somewhat badly screwed.

Seven or eight pirate lords were gone, the Jump Gang sent two squads, and even the Blessings obtained by pleading to grandpa and begging grandma were all given to Xisi's demon army.

Moreover, Xisi's demon army wielded those Blessings to slash many of Xiulun's core pirates.

Now Xiulun is merely sneaking to backstab for health recovery, not immediately opening a fight with Abadon, which is already enough to give face.

Only Abadon admired the spectacular sight of Xisi being swallowed by endless artillery fire, while Washituoer, with a different curiosity, closely watched Xisi's vessel that looks like a cruiser but possesses Apocalypse‑class battleship power, and finally shifted his gaze back to Abadon.

"The fragment I gave you, you also gave it to him?"

Abadon's smug face froze at those words, for even though they had gathered many fragments, a single missing piece would render his and Washituoer's plan utterly impossible.

Not giving!

He snatched it himself!

Listening to Abadon's stiff explanation, Washituoer's cold, mechanical face showed no emotion, only those red, Prosthetic Eye‑like huge eyes flickered with an inexplicable light.

Then turning back, looking at Xisi in the distance as he began to Leap away, he silently raised his iron hammer scepter.

All ships, prepare to Leap.

Now, even if it's the ends of the earth, I will hunt down that mortal called "Xisi"!
