Shadows of the Deep Space Chapter 1659: 533: Bai Yuyi_3
Previously on Shadows of the Deep Space...
At that exact moment, Su Ming’s focus sharpened. He executed a space jump immediately, deftly evading the concentrated barrage. Before the compromised gap could seal itself, he lunged inside with fierce determination.
Deep within the Grey Angel’s Power Core Room.
“It is over! They have broken through!”
The Eshifar Deputy Clan Leader stammered in absolute terror, his former arrogance completely evaporated.
Boom!
The chamber walls erupted outward with a thunderous roar.
Ilyas, gripping the Dragon Base Spear, charged into the fray with unstoppable force.
“Target located!”
Celeste instantly pinned the Eshifar Deputy Clan Leader with her gaze.
Su Ming commanded Ilyas to bear down on their target without hesitation.
“Do not delude yourself into thinking you can slay me!”
The Eshifar Deputy Clan Leader gathered every ounce of his remaining strength.
Sharp metal spikes surged from the floor of the inner sanctum in a chaotic formation.
Su Ming triggered a low growl from Ilyas, who leveled the Dragon Base Spear and delivered a pulverizing thrust.
Crack!
The metal spikes disintegrated upon impact, shattering into dust.
Panic-stricken, the Eshifar Deputy Clan Leader engaged his emergency defenses, manifesting heavy metal barriers to reinforce the power core platform.
While the partitions rose, the official frantically devised a scheme to retaliate.
Sudden realization struck him; the isolated metal plating began to glow a searing red.
Boom!
The reinforced barriers shattered under the pressure of a massive explosion.
Ilyas surged onto the platform, her crimson gaze fixed solely on the trembling leader.
“Spare me! I surrender!”
The Eshifar Deputy Clan Leader begged Su Ming for mercy.
“Take him alive!”
Celeste shrieked, her voice brimming with exhilaration.
Su Ming instructed Ilyas to extend her left claw, ripping the ring and the essential Metal Spark from their housing.
Swish!
The systems of the Grey Angel went dark instantaneously, and all weaponry ceased its assault.
“We have succeeded!”
Celeste shouted, overcome with joy.
Su Ming steered Ilyas and her captive directly out through the breach they had created, emerging into the vacuum of space to confront the leader.
“Order all remaining forces to cease their offensive immediately.”
“Understood!”
The Eshifar Deputy Clan Leader obeyed Su Ming’s command without protest.
Instantly, the Mechanical Flying Insects and Puppet Mechas powered down, bringing the chaos of battle to a sudden halt.
Rhein and his comrades erupted in cheers.
“Victory is ours!”
...
Su Ming cast his vision across the starry expanse, failing to detect any sign of Bai Yuyi. He turned to his allies.
“Rhein, where has that white monster vanished to?”
“Wait? I have no idea. It was right there a moment ago.”
Rhein and the others were visibly confused.
“I understand the situation now.”
After a brief silence, Su Ming piloted Ilyas toward the Sunshine, followed closely by the others.
...
Inside the hangar of the Sunshine.
The airlocks cycled open one after the other.
Su Ming descended with Ilyas, the captured leader in tow, escorting Rhein and the crew inside.
Bam!
The mech landed gracefully against the docking platform floor.
Rhein and his team drifted toward them, gawking in awe.
“Incredible, look at the size of that Metal Spark!”
“The biological signature is extraordinarily potent!”
...
“Humans, do not end my life! I can provide you with immense wealth!”
The Eshifar Deputy Clan Leader pleaded with Su Ming directly.
Ignoring the prisoner, Su Ming turned his attention to Celeste.
“He is secured. What is the next phase of the plan?”
“Have the Mechanic provide a connection interface to link Ilyas’s Super Neural Connection Device to this entity,” Celeste said with anticipation.
“Understood. Ankaga, instruct the Mechanic to initialize the link between Ilyas and the prisoner.”
Su Ming issued the order to Ankaga.
“Boss, what exactly is the intention here?”
Ankaga and the others were clearly bewildered.
“Cease the questions and move with haste.”
Su Ming remained tight-lipped.
“Very well.”
Ankaga rushed to summon the Mechanic.
Moments later, the technician arrived with an Iron Guard to assist in tethering Ilyas to the captive leader.
The Eshifar Deputy Clan Leader struggled against the constraints, his voice shaky.
“What are you attempting? Slaying me offers you no advantage. I hold vast knowledge and endless treasures!”
...
Su Ming maintained his stoic silence, leaving the prisoner’s pleas to fall on deaf ears.
Finally, Su Ming addressed Celeste.
“The connection is prepared.”
“Su Ming, I require your full cooperation for this final step.”
Celeste spoke to him with intense focus.
“Proceed!”
Su Ming signaled his readiness.
“Beginning the connection sequence.”
“Super Neural Connection, activate!”
Celeste commanded the system to execute the merge.
Su Ming felt his consciousness plunging into a dark void. When his senses adjusted, he found himself standing amidst a desolate landscape of forgotten mechanical relics.
In the center of this ruinous mental plane sat a massive, flickering black Metal Spark, burning with the intensity of a dying star.
It was the manifestation of the leader’s mental state.
The Eshifar Deputy Clan Leader gazed at the pair and burst into a jagged, mocking laugh.
“Hah! I hardly possess the words for your foolishness. You had already achieved victory, yet you willingly entered my mental sanctuary. Is this not a reckless pursuit of death?”
“Do not be so certain of your victory,” Celeste retorted with a sharp edge.
“Little girl, do you truly believe your V-model Light Computer can rival me? It is a pathetic endeavor. Allow me to demonstrate true authority!”
