Boom!
In the distance, the battleship fired all three of its main cannons at full power. Three thick beams of light pierced through the core of the Thought Array. Countless tetrahedrons shattered, and the brains within them lost their lives. At the same time, the restraints on the people around were lifted.
After a single shot, the mechanical centipedes lost their ability to move and began to disintegrate where they stood. Even when one of the Giant Beasts picked up a segment, it no longer showed any sign of activity.
It was clear that these mechanical centipedes operated entirely on commands from the Thought Array; without receiving orders, they were no longer a threat.
The remaining parts of the Thought Array, the tetrahedrons, recombined, but their volume was much smaller than before.
"You’ve won, Dragon Hunting Spider, I’ve lost. Kill me, and you become the master of this spaceship. Then, I can finally be freed from this endless contradiction," the Thought Array said.
Isrile cursed loudly, "What contradictions, my ass! It’s only right to seek revenge when bullied and to eat when hungry! What is there for you to be conflicted about? Or are you saying you have so many brains that you’ve developed a split personality? Come here, if you really don’t understand these simple truths, then honestly make a contract with me and follow me, the Queen. I’ll teach you a proper lesson with my actions!"
The Thought Array was silent for a moment and then said, "Very well, that’s acceptable."
A contract was established, and the Thought Array formally joined Isrile’s Legion.
When Isrile returned, Bronk could hardly believe what he was seeing. Isrile had actually managed to enlist all the terrifying creatures that were entrenched here under her command! Those mechanical centipedes were like a nightmare, nearly impervious to most energy attacks, and highly resistant to physical damage. The few encounters with them had always ended in their overwhelming victory, yet Isrile had won!
At that moment, the mechanical centipedes were clearing the aftermath of the battle, and the Giant Beasts began to search for their dwellings within the asteroid.
By this time, Isrile had already made contact with the embodiment of the spaceship.
"You’ve successfully tamed it! According to our agreement, I will join your Legion and serve you," the spaceship said.
The spaceship offered Isrile a contract, and then she instructed Bronk to leave the damaged battleship. The bio-ship moved the battleship out of the asteroid and began to integrate it into its own body. With this battleship, the spacecraft would have stronger propulsion and fire support.
However, regarding Isrile’s intention to enter the Giant spaceship, it informed her that it was impossible. Even though they could force open the doors, most parts of the spaceship were still beyond control, and if it detected any non-Giant forcibly entering, it would immediately self-destruct... There was no need to doubt, the power would be enough to destroy everything.
So Isrile eventually gave up, but it didn’t matter. When Long Yi arrived, wouldn’t entering any spaceship be easy?
Isrile named the large biotic spaceship the Phantom Battleship—this was also its most widely known name in this Plane. The Phantom Battleship’s power was immense; as it was pure Giant technology, the ship itself was faster than nearly all other vessels, even while towing an asteroid. Moreover, the Phantom Battleship had a short-term stealth capability that could block all external detection. Invisible to the eye, silent to the ear, and undetectable by magic, this is why the Phantom Battleship appeared and vanished without a trace.
But at that moment, a fleet was quietly approaching.
It turned out that all members of the Azure Sky royal family possessed innate magic that could trigger Resonance from a great distance. Previously, the Azure Sky Empire’s Crown Prince and Princess, who had been left as hostages on an asteroid, were constantly using this magic, attempting to call for rescue. The Azure Sky Empire’s fleets were nearly in every corner of the Plane, and a fleet could appear anywhere at any moment.
And this time, it actually happened.
At that moment, the fleet was on a reconnaissance mission targeting the Phantom Battleship. The Empire was very interested in the Phantom Battleship’s elusive abilities and its formidable combat power. What intrigued them the most was the battleship’s origin from Giant technology. Acquiring this ship could revolutionize the Azure Sky Empire’s fleet strength!
However, on their way, the fleet intercepted the royal family’s distress magic! And that magic represented the missing Crown Prince and Princess!
The entire Azure Sky Empire had prioritized the search for the missing prince and princess as the most important matter, and unexpectedly, their distress signals appeared here!
It was time to make a notable achievement!
The small recon ship discovered not only the prince and princess but all the hostages were being kept in the stomach of a Giant Beast that had a transparent belly, looking like a large bottle. The hostages seemed free to move around inside, appearing to be healthy.
