Our Mission Is to Lock Every Member of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew Inside the Gate of Purgatory
The order to "destroy the spaceship" Gu Ding n't intended to kill the two men, but rather to prevent them from capturing him. In reality, he knew perfectly well that the explosion wouldn't harm them at all.
The moment Gu Ding saw the two on the projection, he judged that their strength was even greater than that of several Nine-and-a-Half Star Half-Step True God he had ever encountered. Even if they hadn't reached the True God level, their combat Combat Strength was already infinitely close to that of a True God. Just one of these guys could wipe out the Gu Ding Pirate Crew.
"It's fine to let the twelve Titan Warship behind them self-destruct, but the ship these two Order Keeper are on was made by the Mechanical Race, and I have no way to control it to self-destruct. Besides, the ship is too far away, Robert can't do it either." Sea Emperor was also troubled when he heard Gu Ding's order.
"What if we send twelve Titan Warship to bombard that super warship? Would that be effective?" Gu Ding frowned slightly and quickly asked.
"It will cause some trouble, but the effect will be minimal." Sea Emperor gave a negative answer. "If this kind of super battleship is attacked, it will automatically activate its defense system. Even a true god might not be able to destroy it with a single blow."
"Then bombard it, cause them some trouble, and buy them some time. We don't need to wait until tomorrow. Let Lily and the others sit still and leave Mandela Star immediately." Gu Ding said, stepping out of the Time Acceleration Cabin.
Several universes away, in a space jump, the twelve Titan Warship of the Federal Government fleet suddenly focused their cannons on the lead super-battleship. Thousands of cannon shots erupted, raining down on the leading super-battleship like a torrential downpour...
"Boom..." A strong tremor suddenly resounded through the spaceship. The two armored men inside the warship looked up in surprise at the top of the spaceship.
"What's going on? Are we under attack?" Jiani also saw that the spaceship's automatic defense system had been activated, with a transparent protective shield surrounding the spaceship.
"It's those Titan Warship behind us..." Oliver seemed much calmer. He pulled up the video surveillance at the back of the ship. In the surveillance footage, twelve Titan Warship were frantically attacking the ship where the two of them were standing.
"What's wrong with those people behind us? Could there be a spy among them?" Jiani calmed down a bit, but the attack from the spaceships behind him still annoyed him.
"Not a spy. It's Gu Ding. It's said that besides his amazing strength, he also has powerful hacking skills. Those twelve ships behind him should already be under his control." Oliver had obviously done his homework before coming and knew a lot about Gu Ding.
"Why go through all that trouble? Why doesn't he just control our ship to self-destruct?" Jiani thought Gu Ding's actions were unnecessary. The defensive capabilities of this super battleship were no joke.
"This super battleship we're on was built by the Mechanical Race, using a purely mechanical structure, making it impossible to hack. That's why the Warden specifically prepared this ship for us." Oliver admired the Warden's foresight, but he also realized another problem. "Being attacked means we've been discovered. Gu Ding are definitely on the run. We must catch up as soon as possible; once they escape, we don't know when we'll be able to locate them again..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than flames suddenly erupted behind the super battleship.
Oliver and Jiani both clearly saw that the twelve spaceships behind them collectively self-destructed, turning into debris that scattered into the void. Some of the Half-Step True God powerhouses on those spaceships were floating in the void. Although they hadn't suffered any substantial damage, without their spaceships, they had no way to reach the universes beyond to carry out their missions.
"Jiani, I'll Will Projection first and see if I can stop them. You bring the others in, and then we can set off." After Oliver finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged, and a surge of willpower erupted from him.
At that moment, the Titan Warship of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew had just left Mandela Star. The instant the space jump was initiated, a figure wearing silver armor rapidly condensed outside Mandela Star. It was Oliver's Will Projection.
Oliver reacted swiftly, raising his hand to attack the instant he saw the Titan Battleship, unleashing a powerful Finger Force strike at the ship. However, the ship vanished due to the spatial jump, instantly reappearing several star systems away.
"Damn it, the ship is damaged and we can no longer perform space jumps or teleportations. Otherwise, the ship would have disintegrated during the teleportation process, and you would have been swept into the Space Turbulence." As soon as the ship stabilized, Sea Emperor brought bad news. "That guy is too strong. It was just a Will Projection. I activated all the protective shields on the ship, but he still managed to damage the ship with a casual strike."
"I'll go fix it!" Robert dashed out and sped toward the damaged spot on the spaceship.
"Sea Emperor, during the repair period, maintain the spaceship at maximum speed!" Gu Ding hurriedly gave the order, hoping to gain every second possible.
"It's too late..." Sea Emperor sighed softly, "That guy has re-formed a second Will Projection..."
As the Sea Emperor finished speaking, the man in silver armor reappeared, his figure flashing as he appeared directly on top of the spaceship.
"You can't escape!" Oliver's voice clearly reached everyone's ears, even though it was a vacuum.
As soon as he finished speaking, a Silver Long Spear appeared in his hand, which he swung directly at the spaceship.
But in the next instant, he found himself pulled into another world, and his attack missed its target.
"Where did that guy in the silver armor go?" Liliath, looking at the projection on the spaceship with some surprise.
"That guy was pulled into the Miniature World by Gu Ding, but with his strength, he should be able to break free in a short time. Although he is just a Will Projection, his Combat Strength is above the eighth-star Half-Step True God. Gu Ding's Miniature World cannot trap him," the Sea Emperor explained.
"Miniature World?!" Liliath and the others were somewhat surprised to hear the Sea Emperor say this, but they did not ask any further questions.
Robert had already reached the damaged area of the spaceship; the wound was over ten meters long. She quickly placed her hand on the bulkhead. The silvery liquid metal seemed to come alive, extending towards the damaged area and rapidly repairing the hull.
Meanwhile, Oliver noticed the scene had changed and his attack had missed. He was also stunned for a moment. "This is... Miniature World?"
He was somewhat unsure. Because Miniature World. Generally, only true gods could condense them, but only Miniature World could directly pull him, who possessed a five-star domain, into them.
"That's right. This is my Miniature World." Gu Ding suddenly appeared behind Oliver.
Oliver then turned around and was even more surprised when he saw Gu Ding. "You're only Low-rank God, how could you condense Miniature World?"
"It's just a matter of chance." Gu Ding's presence here wasn't to challenge his opponent, but to buy Robert time. He also knew that if he hadn't appeared, the Silver-Armored Man could have torn through his micro-space with a single shot and escaped.
"You truly deserve to be Epoch Monster of humanity in this era." Oliver spared no praise for Gu Ding.
"Why are they hunting us down?" Gu Ding asked this question, not entirely to buy time. He wanted to know why the Federal Government had suddenly changed its previous laissez-faire attitude. "Could it be that our team has become too famous lately, which has displeased some high-ranking Federal Government?"
"I know you want to stall for time, but I will show you with facts that any resistance is meaningless." Oliver said, casually slashing his spear. A white light streaked across the void, and with a few crisp "crack" sounds, the Miniature World automatically collapsed, Oliver appeared directly in the spot where he had been standing.
But on the other hand, Robert's repairs were not yet complete.
Oliver glanced coldly at Robert, who was still repairing the ship's cabin not far away, and swung his spear again. His target was not Robert, but the spaceship beneath his feet.
A white spear beam, like a giant white python, hurtled towards the top of the spaceship. If this attack landed, the entire Titan Warship would likely be completely destroyed.
Just then, Bigge suddenly made his move. The longsword in his hand was none other than the one that Gu Ding had given him, which should have belonged to Ye Mei. Bigge originally possessed the Combat Strength of Six-Star Half-Step True God. If he were to go all out, his strength would be close to the level of a seven-star. With the aid of this spiritual artifact, his strength had already surpassed the seven-star level.
His massive frame lunged directly at the white python, his longsword slashing out and colliding with the creature. In the vacuum of space, the impact erupted in a dazzling flash of light, yet made no sound. After the flash, Bigge was sent flying backward, falling unconscious.
With just one blow, Bigge was utterly defeated...
Oliver did not attack again. Instead, his gaze lingered briefly on the longsword in Bigge's hand, his brow furrowing slightly. He then turned to look at Gu Ding, who was about to pounce. "It seems you really did kill Ye Mei."
"That's right." Gu Ding admitted it directly.
"It's a pity that Boyi took the blame for you and was sent to Night God to suffer torture. But Night God eventually discovered that Boyi wasn't the one who killed Ye Mei. Because Boyi didn't know that Ye Mei had three Time-Space Reversal Resurrection Techniques on him. Even though he altered the memories of most of the witnesses, he still revealed a flaw." Oliver's tone sounded somewhat sorrowful as he said this.
"Is Boyi still alive?" Gu Ding asked hurriedly.
"Of course he's still alive. How could that guy Night God kill him so easily?" Oliver looked up and stared at Gu Ding.
"So, you've captured me now to hand me over to the Darkness Clan?" Gu Ding said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Your assumption is utterly wrong." Oliver appeared in front of Gu Ding in a flash, his sharp eyes meeting Gu Ding's gaze through the holes in his cold helmet. "We Order Keeper are only responsible for matters related to the Gate of Purgatory; everything else is none of our business. Our mission this time is to capture the Gu Ding Pirate Crew and imprison you all in the Gate of Purgatory!"
