Chapter 90: Encounters
A month later.
Deep in space, a silver-gray saucer-shaped spaceship, a standard feature of the Noranshan family, was slowly traveling against its predetermined course.
Inside the spaceship's command center, Hong sat cross-legged in the corner, a long black spear held horizontally in front of his knees, his eyes closed, like a statue.
Not far away, Thor was gently wiping his beloved sword with a piece of silk, again and again.
Luo Feng leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes to rest, and maintained a mental connection with the golden-horned beast clone in his inner world.
"Target fleet detected. Distance 580,000 kilometers. Expected contact in three minutes."
In front of the control panel, Babata's virtual image, with its devilish horns, waved its little hands, its tone tinged with excitement.
On the giant outdoor simulation screen in front of it, a fleet composed of hundreds of points of light is rapidly advancing in the distant star field.
That was the main fleet of the Noranshan family's expedition to Earth.
Ten thousand elite soldiers and dozens of warships equipped with heavy star-destroying main guns are enough to annihilate a primitive civilization.
"Qiu Jian, it's your turn."
Babata turned his head and called out.
Qiu Jian, dressed in black, appeared. He took control of the spaceship and activated the identification signal within the Bro Nolan Mountain family.
Having done all this, the silver-gray spaceship did not slow down at all and flew straight towards the massive fleet.
Almost the instant the spaceship's signal lit up, the radars of the outermost escort ships responsible for patrol and surveillance of the fleet locked onto the unusual spaceship.
"Hmm? That's Young Master Bro's ship. Why is he coming from this direction?"
"The identification code is correct. It's definitely Young Master Bro's car."
After confirming the authorization to identify the signal, the patrol ships not only did not fire warning shots, but also took the initiative to move aside to make way for the spaceship.
At the very center of the fleet, a thick blue tractor beam shot out from the bottom of the giant flagship that resembled a floating fortress.
The beam precisely locked onto the ship where Hong and his crew were, slowly guiding it toward the heavily guarded core of the fleet.
……
Inside the command center of that massive flagship.
A burly man with a single horn on his forehead was sitting lazily in the conductor's chair.
He was none other than Sadila, the supreme commander of this expeditionary fleet, one of the core high-ranking members of the Norlan Mountain family, and a second-tier cosmic-level powerhouse.
Below him stood two powerful figures respectfully. One was Pula, the most promising member of the Nolan Mountain family to reach the cosmic level, and the other was Tuoleiwu, the squad leader of the Nolan Guard. Both were at the peak of the ninth rank of the Hengxing level.
Sadila's gaze fell with interest on the huge light screen, watching the silver-gray spaceship being slowly pulled closer by the tractor beam, a contemptuous smile appearing on her lips.
In his view, Bro, that good-for-nothing, must have wanted to seize all of Earth's wealth before the main fleet could, but he encountered obstacles and had to slink back to ask for help.
"Hmph, what a pathetic fool."
Sadila gently swirled the crimson liquid in her glass, already planning how to mock Bro's pathetic plea for help when they met later.
The silver-gray spaceship, pulled by the traction beam, came to a smooth stop on the flagship's dedicated landing pad.
Sadila swirled her wine glass and casually winked at Pula beside her.
Pula understood immediately, strode to the control panel, and pressed the communication request.
"Connect it. I'd love to hear for myself what kind of explanation that piece of trash Bro has in store for me."
Sadila's voice carried an air of superior arrogance.
The holographic screen in the center of the command room flickered, and then the communication screen became clear.
When Sadila cast his arrogant gaze at the light screen, he froze in his seat, the wine glass in his hand tilting slightly.
The image on the screen did not show Bro at all; instead, it showed a strange young man dressed in a black combat suit.
The young man held a long black spear in one hand, his deep eyes staring coldly at him through the screen, as if he were looking at a dead man.
After a brief moment of shock, a chill ran down Sadila's spine and straight to the top of her head.
Although Bro was a good-for-nothing, a Class C spaceship engraved with information about the Noranshan family fell into the hands of a stranger in a very straightforward manner.
The message behind this is self-evident.
Bro is dead.
Moreover, he died at the hands of these very people right in front of him.
Once he understood this, Sadila's face instantly darkened. To be infiltrated into the core area of his main fleet in this way was an insult to him, a cosmic-level powerhouse.
"boom--"
He slammed his hand down on the alloy table in front of him, shattering it and sending metal fragments flying everywhere.
"Scum! You're asking for death."
Sadila abruptly stood up from her seat.
He no longer intended to ask any more questions.
Now, all he wanted was to blast these reckless fools in front of him, along with that eyesore of a spaceship, into cosmic dust.
With bloodshot eyes, he issued orders to the dozens of warships surrounding the flagship.
"All warships, listen up! Main guns, charge to maximum power! Blast this wrecked ship to smithereens!"
The instant the command was issued.
In the darkness of space, the muzzles of dozens of massive warship main guns lit up with blinding light almost simultaneously.
Energy converged at the muzzle, distorting the surrounding starry sky due to the compression of energy.
Inside the spaceship's command center, facing the dozens of main cannon beams that suddenly illuminated, Hong's face remained expressionless.
He slowly turned his head and calmly glanced at Thor and Luo Feng, who were eager to try their luck beside him.
"Let's do it."
"Boom—"
The silver-gray spaceship, locked by the tractor beam, opened its hatch, and a domineering figure rushed out, bathed in purple light.
Taino let out a roar that he had suppressed for a long time, and his dark purple "Purple Light" battle armor burst out with dazzling light in an instant.
The pressure of a third-order cosmic-level force instantly swept across a star field tens of thousands of kilometers wide.
The heavy warships that were charging were subjected to an irresistible pressure, and their external energy shields cracked under the strain.
Immediately afterwards, a towering figure, several meters tall and entirely crimson, emerged from the hatch with heavy steps.
On the chest of the C5-level humanoid puppet, the Blood Soul Crystal from the Sword-Loving Star was spinning wildly at an unprecedented frequency.
A fifth-order cosmic-level energy fluctuation suddenly descended.
Sadila hadn't yet recovered from the two oppressive forces.
Luo Feng's mind also stirred.
The once empty starry sky was suddenly obscured by a large, thick shadow.
A colossal creature, a thousand meters long, appeared out of thin air. Its body, covered in dark golden scales, was several times larger than the flagship of the Norlán Mountain family.
Those three sharp horns, those cold, golden vertical pupils that looked down upon the entire fleet.
It was a clone of the Golden Horned Beast that had entered the first tier of the cosmic level.
The moment the three cosmic-level combatants appeared, they unleashed their full power and crashed headlong into the main fleet formation of the Noranshan family.
This was a scathing massacre in space, with no doubt about its outcome.
"hold head high--"
The golden-horned behemoth let out a roar.
Its massive body displayed astonishing agility in space; with a flap of its wings, it transformed into a dark golden streak and pounced on the fleet.
With a casual swipe of its hooves, the terrifying force contained within easily tore more than a dozen Hengxing-level ninth-tier Nuolan guards who attempted to stop it to shreds.
Large plumes of blood mist drifted through space.
While the Golden Horned Beast ravaged the outer perimeter of the fleet, the C5-class puppet and Taino, clad in purple battle armor, ignored the secondary gun bombardment from the surrounding warships.
These two killing gods, under the dense beams of energy, transformed into two streams of light interwoven with dark purple and deep red.
They rammed into the alloy armor layer of the flagship where Sadila was located in the most savage way.
Inside the flagship's command center, as Taino and the puppet were about to burst in, Pula and Tuolewu, standing behind Sadila, were horrified.
Pula instantly expanded his domain, engulfing Tuoleiwu beside him, and rushed towards the nearest escape route without regard for anything else.
"Boom—"
A loud bang was heard, and the flagship's command room was violently broken open, causing the internal air pressure to become unbalanced instantly.
Taino and the C5-level puppet burst into the flagship's core command room, blocking the stunned Sadila in the middle.
The once arrogant Sadila was now consumed by fear.
He stared blankly at the two terrifying figures before him.
"Where did all these universe-level powerhouses come from?"
