As Medici took Pales Zoroaster deep behind enemy lines and severely wounded one of the Mother Tree of Desire's Archangels with a single strike, an ancient-looking black three-masted sailing ship swiftly emerged from the edge of the temporary barrier protecting Earth.
It was Queen Anne's Revenge, built in the early Fourth Epoch and still active Above the Five Seas to this day!
It had no thrusters for spaceflight, yet its speed was almost equal to that of a Red Priest Pathway angel using Flame Transformation. More than a dozen figures stood scattered across its deck, each performing their duties. Some activated the ubiquitous passages of the Mirror World to help the Ghost Ship fly swiftly; some erected indestructible barriers of light to withstand attacks from all directions; others gathered dazzling lightning and fired it at the enemies ahead...
Standing at the bow was a middle-aged man with a thick beard and a solemn expression. He was William Augustus, the Hand of Order who had supported the Loen Kingdom throughout the Fifth Epoch. He was carefully observing the battlefield and the positions of the enemy angels, preparing to establish rules that would favor his side.
Behind him, Anne Gustav floated barefoot in a white dress, focusing entirely on controlling the battleship and coordinating the powers of the angels assisting her. She paid no attention to the fact that the founder of the Loen Kingdom, whom she had fought just four years ago, had stolen all the limelight.
Like a hedgehog curling up with every spine bristling, the Galaxy Battleship, crewed by an entire team of angels, rolled into the loose formation of the Outer Deities' angels. These enemies had little inclination to cooperate, thinking only of slipping through Earth's barrier to slaughter believers as quickly as possible, or hunting Earth's angels
