Evil Wing, guided by Mu Fan, crashes through a camouflaged rock wall into a steel tunnel leading to another world. They emerge into deep space, encountering an enemy warship commanded by Barrymore of the Saint Luo Army. Barrymore, angered by a previous false report, prepares to engage Mu Fan's group, viewing them as insignificant.

At the Winter Tree star base, the Saint Luo Clan's star body fortress, a massive structure approximately three kilometers in diameter, stood as a testament to their power. Its prominent spire served to bolster the endurance of warships, functioning akin to a floating island and positioning it as a formidable mid-to-high-tier combat vessel.

However, the vessel Barrymore commanded this time was merely a level-two fortress, yet when fully assembled, its diameter would swell to an astonishing 5000 meters!

This mechanical planet's sheer immensity dwarfed ordinary asteroids, making it genuinely capable of supporting heavy-duty warships.

It possessed the capacity to simultaneously service and supply as many as six colossal umbrella-shaped vessels.

These umbrella-shaped giant ships were the true titans of stellar warfare.

Yet, whether it was the gargantuan ships or the level-two fortress itself...

Their immense scale precluded them from passing directly through the constricted Starry Sky Gate. A reckless attempt to force entry could trigger the gate's closure, and worse, there was a significant risk of the fortress or ship being ripped asunder.

Consequently, the esteemed and sagacious Saint Luo people employed a meticulous strategy of dismantling and transporting their assets in segments.

Barrymore, acting as the commander, was at the helm of this warship—a core component of the Battle Fortress, appearing deceptively flat and weighty.

It harbored a function mirroring a human brain's neural center, housing fifteen thousand groups of neurospores beneath its flat armor plating.

Thus, he let out a sigh, remarking, "The path of a Pioneer is truly fraught with hardship."

Retreat was not an option; facing that dragon's assault, his only recourse was to charge straight through!

Indeed, the warship's immense power would be employed to smash through the obstacle.

Only by doing so could subsequent combat engagements commence.

"Advance!"

He rose, bellowing in fury, his hand sweeping towards the console, forcefully driving the throttle lever forward.

However, at this precise instant, through the fiery fissures, he discerned a silhouette atop the dragon's back, lightly pressing down with its legs before launching itself skyward.

A flash of crimson cloak streaked across his vision.

"Get... clear of here!"

Shura propelled himself into the air, twisting backward, his right arm angling outward, the Red Lotus erupting from his chest.

A striking pose, exuding potent beauty, was imprinted within Barrymore's sight as he retracted and charged through the sky.

"...Get out!"

The commanding, icy voice thundered forth.

Trailing behind Shura, four engines ejected a blood-hued exhaust resembling meteors; as the punch landed, a successive triple sonic boom detonated before the mecha!

The force of the fist slammed into the crater left by Evil Wing's earlier Roaring Flame Bomb impact.

Time seemed to warp, appearing as if a colossal water bubble had been compressed flat...

The forward section of the heavy, flat warship began to ripple like elastic, its metallic plating and towering gun barrels twisting, compressing, and deforming before...

It detonated with a deafening roar!

The sheer kinetic energy of Shura's strike was far beyond what a non-combat vessel could endure.

Within the aft section of the Core Spore Ship, the dense spore cluster, spread like a metallic ocean, abruptly ceased all movement, and then... shattered like watermelons struck by buckshot, erupting into a viscous, pulpy mess.

Piercing, sharp sonic waves cascaded outwards, propagating in all directions.

At this juncture, Barrymore, who had just been thrown, snapped his head back, his eyes wide with terror.

"No!"

He shrieked, a long, heart-rending cry.

The loss of life was irrelevant, but those sonic waves were unmistakably the alarm signals from the neurospore cluster detonation.

And these alarms had coalesced into an overwhelming cacophony of sound.

The agonizing sonic waves caused hundreds within the hall to simultaneously clutch their ears in pain.

Before they could react further, the very ground beneath them buckled and tore open!

Barrymore looked down in disbelief, only for a momentary explosion of metallic fragments to sweep across his face, his head bursting into a bloody mist with a concussive sound!
