At Theresa's command, the Hyperion started up once again and cautiously approached the warship before them.
The closer they got, the more astonished everyone became.
"My God, what kind of technology is this? A massive warship of this mass merely floating here should be enough to significantly affect the surrounding environment. Yet it can hover so steadily in the air? What material is its hull made of? What powers it? Antigravity? No, it can't be that simple..."
Theresa stared gravely at the warship and spoke again.
"Have you contacted them?"
"It's a little difficult. Honestly, I'm beginning to wonder whether there's anyone aboard that ship at all..."
Before she could finish, the warship suddenly flashed. A yellow beam shot out and struck the Hyperion directly.
Boom!!
The entire Hyperion jolted violently the next moment.
"Report! The engines are out of control!"
"The weapons systems have shut down automatically!"
"What's going on?!"
Theresa grew even more uneasy.
"Was that an attack?"
"No, it seems..."
As she spoke, the twin-tailed girl raised her head and looked ahead. The beam connected the two warships and was pulling the Hyperion along.
"...It seems they're inviting us aboard."
"Let's hope they're hospitable hosts."
Theresa forced herself to remain calm, but her palms were slick with sweat. The other side's technology was simply too advanced. Before it, the Hyperion did not even have the strength to fight back... She had no idea whether the appearance of this warship was a blessing or a curse.
Guided by the tractor beam, the Hyperion slowly entered the hangar entrance beneath the golden warship. The sight left Theresa and the others dumbfounded. They had already experienced how enormous this warship was, but seeing it up close made its colossal, towering presence even more overwhelming.
The Hyperion was their trump-card warship
