Chapter 51 Encounter with the Fleet, Identity Exposed

"Ye Yang! There's a sudden reaction ahead, with a large number of ships traversing from the original universe into the dark universe! It's estimated that a large fleet has directly entered."

Babata suddenly said:

"This is very unusual, because the cosmic coordinates of this region have been obscured by your teacher, and large fleets generally don't pass through here. Therefore, I suggest we return to our original universe immediately!"

Ye Yang was also taken aback by the sudden turn of events.

Did the thing he had been worried about finally happen?

"Every gift of fate comes with a price. Perhaps now is the time for me to pay the price for those 102 billion Fate Points."

With this thought flashing through his mind, Ye Yang remained calm in the face of danger and immediately said, "Then let's return to the original universe immediately!"

The coordinates of this region have been obscured and cannot be reached from the dark universe.

It is a relatively safer place.

So Babata began to travel along a specific trajectory in the dark universe.

About three minutes later, a massive fleet appeared to the left of the Black Dragon Mountain X81 spaceship's flight path.

"It's the Silver Blue Empire's fleet! And judging by the quality of these warships, it's just a third-rate local garrison fleet. It's not even certain whether they have any weapons that could threaten our C5-class spaceship."

After recognizing the other party's identity, Babata said with some disdain.

Ye Yang frowned; the other party didn't seem to pose a threat to him for the time being.

Should we return to the original universe? After all, the best option is to quickly travel away from this fleet in the dark universe.

However, at that moment, Babata said angrily, "Ye Yang! These guys are actually demanding that we identify ourselves and immediately follow them out of the 'Void Zone,' then stop the ship for inspection!"

"Connect the communication." Ye Yang's heart sank.

Soon, a tall projection appeared inside the spaceship.

"I am Nioba, Commander of the Fourth Spiral Arm Guard Fleet! Sir aboard the Black Dragon Mountain X81, we are currently pursuing the space pirates 'Sandstone Group.' Inspect all ships appearing in this area!"

The fleet commander, who called himself "Nioba," had a cold expression and stared sharply at Ye Yang.

It was as if he was certain that Ye Yang was an accomplice of that so-called "Sandstone Group".

"Ye Yang, don't panic. Do as we said before, pretend to be a noble young master from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. This precious Black Dragon Mountain X81 is a symbol of your status. The more arrogant you are, the more they will think and the more afraid they will be of you," Babata reminded him in his mind.

"I know," Ye Yang replied.

Then, his expression turned slightly displeased, and he frowned, saying, "Since when did your Silver Blue Empire become so nosy? Do you have to interfere just because I'm passing by?"

The fleet commander, Nioba, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "May I ask your family background? I am Nioba Anzak, from the Anzak family of the Silver Blue Empire."

Ye Yang then sneered: "What Anzac family? Never heard of it. If it weren't for the Silver Blue Empire's famous 'Void Region,' I probably wouldn't even remember the name Silver Blue Empire."

"Are you qualified to know my identity?"

After saying this in an extremely matter-of-fact and arrogant tone, Babata closed the communication.

"Haha! Ye Yang, well done! I, the Demon Lord, had never even heard of that An family back then. They were just small fry. They must be having all sorts of wild ideas by now, right?" Babata laughed.

……

The command room of the fourth spiral arm guard fleet was quiet.

Nioba stroked his chin, seemingly deep in thought about some difficult problem.

However, several of his men couldn't hold out any longer: "Commander, let's give up. That guy is clearly no ordinary person."

Nioba shook his head and said, "No, charge the weapons immediately and prepare to attack!"

The officers exchanged glances, then suddenly their expressions turned furious: "Nioba, that's enough!"

"Although you are from the Anzac family, you are not the heir to the main line! We usually give you face and indulge your nonsense, but now you actually want us to attack a noble descendant?"

"That's the Black Dragon Mountain X81 spaceship! You recognized it yourself, so why don't you consider that this young master who can casually drive around such a collectible antique is someone you can afford to offend?"

"Wake up! We've already suffered heavy losses from our reckless pursuit of the Sandstone Pirates. Don't make unnecessary enemies for the Empire, or even the Anzac family won't be able to protect you if the Emperor blames you!"

One after another, the officers voiced their opposition.

"What are you trying to do? Rebel? Mutiny?" Nioba's adjutant immediately glared at the officers.

However, upon hearing this, they exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.

"To tell you the truth, we were also acting under the orders of the Anzac family, but not from your faction."

Seeing that the soldiers outside had given the signal, the officers stopped pretending and immediately rushed forward to fight.

In less than half a minute, Nioba and his adjutant were tied up and taken to a small dark room.

"Order the entire fleet to return to port immediately!"

In the small dark room, Nioba looked grim, but he wasn't too panicked.

"Young Master? What's wrong? Why didn't you say a word just now?" the adjutant asked anxiously.

Nioba sneered, "Ha, didn't you notice? The layout inside the Black Dragon Mountain X81 spaceship, although somewhat modified, doesn't it look a lot like a photograph in the family memorial hall of the ancestor who died tens of thousands of years ago and his beloved vehicle?"

"what?"

"I've already informed my family, and things will soon take a turn for the better..." Excitement gradually rose in Neoba's eyes: "Isn't it too strange that a ship belonging to the commander of the Silver Blue Empire's fleet, which was destroyed countless years ago, has sailed out from an area occupied by a mysterious powerful figure?"

How can indigenous people, unable to contact extraterrestrial civilizations, repair and operate a spaceship?

"Why didn't the AI ​​on the spaceship stop it?"

"There must be a big secret!"

……

"Haha! That fleet turned around and left! Looks like they're scared!" Having detected the Silver Blue Empire fleet leaving the area, Babata asked Ye Yang, "Should we return to our original universe?"

Ye Yang felt uneasy, but he didn't know where this feeling of unease came from.

Perhaps it was the comfortable feeling he got from the gaze of that fleet commander, Neoba Anzac?

Perhaps his worries made him feel a sense of crisis.

"Let's return to the original universe!" Ye Yang said.

The worst thing you can do is be fickle!

Sometimes, even if you make the wrong choice, it's still better to stick to it than to keep changing your mind and being indecisive.

At worst, I'll just give up this life; I can always revive using Fate Points!

However, the ability to revive using Fate Points is not a panacea; there have been instances where dungeon players have suffered the tragic fate of having their save files destroyed.

Therefore, while making bold choices, it is still important to act cautiously.

The Silver Blue Fleet, which had already changed direction, moved away at faster-than-light speed and could no longer see the situation of the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship.

After completing its specific orbital trajectory, the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship carrying Ye Yang returned to its original cosmic coordinates, just as it would in a normal starry sky region.
