Sea Emperor's Gentleness

The proud figure standing there was none other than Fogreitai, who had been caught in the flames of the explosion.

However, his condition seemed somewhat abnormal. The white flames that had covered his entire body had completely disappeared, leaving only his magma-like body exposed. Even the flames in his eye sockets had completely faded, making him appear as if he had lost all vitality.

"Is that magma monster still alive?" Even as a doctor, Dokter couldn't make an accurate judgment. After all, the other party wasn't human, and he couldn't determine its physical condition just by observation.

"He's still alive," the Sea Emperor quickly replied. "The Lava Clan is a race from the Abyssal Plane. If they die, it's not just the flames in their eye sockets that dissipate; the magma flowing inside their bodies also quickly solidifies, instead of the fluid state his body is in now. Moreover, after a member of the Lava Clan falls, their body slowly turns into stone day by day, a phenomenon known as the jadeification of the corpse. The way that guy is currently behaving is somewhat like he's fallen into a deep sleep or a coma, but it's definitely not dead."

Just as the Sea Emperor said, Fogreitai remained standing in the void, looking incredibly strange, but showing no signs of waking up.

Several hours passed quickly, and the Gu Ding Pirate Crew's ship was transported back to the area near the Dees Family headquarters from more than a thousand cosmic distances away.

"The star system where our family headquarters is located is just ahead. Under normal circumstances, it should be heavily guarded," Hake said, looking at the star system ahead.

"Sea Emperor, let's go in! If there are enemy ships, you handle them, but don't be too violent." Gu Ding reminded him, because Sea Emperor usually dealt with enemy ships by activating their self-destruct system—simple, direct, and extremely violent.

"Alright, I'll try my best!" Sea Emperor immediately agreed and then controlled the spaceship to accelerate forward.

A few minutes later, the spaceship entered the Headquarters Star Region where the Dees Family headquarters was located, but unexpectedly, it was intercepted by a fleet of more than thirty warships as soon as it entered.

The communication system on Gu Ding's spaceship quickly crackled to life with the other party's voice. "This is the private territory of the Dees Family. Entry by outsiders is strictly prohibited. No matter who you are, you are not welcome here without an invitation. Please leave immediately, or we will have no choice but to open fire."

"How dare you threaten us!"

Sea Emperor's tone carried a hint of disdain as he connected to the other party's communicator. "Trying to mess with my spaceship? You're all too green! I'm going in today, let's see who can stop me!"

"Stubborn fool!" someone cursed from the other side, followed by the order to concentrate fire, "Open fire! Blast that black spaceship to smithereens!"

After the voice faded, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the communicator. Then, Gu Ding and the others heard someone shout, "Captain, something's wrong. The spaceship system has malfunctioned, and we can't control the artillery to attack."

"A malfunction? Then why aren't the other ships firing either?!" The one who had shouted at Gu Ding and the others earlier was none other than their captain, and it was clear that he was the one speaking again this time.

"Captain, the captains of the other spaceships have just reported that their ships have experienced system malfunctions." Another voice came from nearby.

"How could this happen?! How could more than thirty spaceships malfunction at the same time?!" The captain clearly didn't understand what had happened.

"Captain, the captain of ship number three just sent a communication request!" another person suddenly spoke up.

"Connect me, I'll ask you myself!" The captain clearly hadn't expected his system to be hacked.

Communication between the two sides was quickly established. The captain immediately demanded, "What exactly happened? I just gave the order to fire, why didn't any of you carry it out?!"

"Captain, it's not that I don't want to carry out the order, it's just that it's impossible. Our third ship's system is malfunctioning, and it's simply unable to fire." The third ship was clearly facing the same problem.

"What on earth happened? Why are all the ships malfunctioning at this time?" Even now, the captain still didn't quite understand what was going on.

"Are the other spaceships experiencing the same thing? Could it be that our system has been hacked?" The captain of ship number three suddenly spoke up, offering his opinion.

"Hacked?!" The captain only realized this now; it seemed that the people on that black behemoth had been behind it all along. He looked up at the black behemoth not far away and asked through gritted teeth.

"That's right, you finally realized it? It was all my doing." Sea Emperor's voice came into the other ship again. "I hacked your system and then completely blocked the attack system on your ship. So no matter how many buttons you press, as long as I don't unlock it, the attack system on your ship will be unusable."

"Damn hacker!" Upon hearing Sea Emperor's description, the captain couldn't help but curse.

"Actually, I could have done more..." Sea Emperor's voice suddenly paused, "You're lucky. My companions weren't keen on watching the fireworks today, so I'll teach you a little lesson this time!"

As soon as the Sea Emperor finished speaking, the thirty-five intercepting ships suddenly began to move automatically without any human control, and soon they automatically formed a circle.

"What happened?!" The captain's voice sounded very panicked.

"Captain, it seems our spaceship has been completely taken over by the enemy..." someone explained from the side.

Gu Ding and his group looked at the projection given by the Sea Emperor with expressions of anticipation, not quite sure what the Sea Emperor was planning.

But they soon witnessed an impressive scene: after forming a circle, the thirty-five spaceships pointed all their firepower directly in front of them.

As the cannon moved, it wasn't hard for everyone to guess the Sea Emperor's plan.

Almost simultaneously, all the cannon fire from the thirty-five ships poured forth, surging towards their own forces' ships on the opposing side. In the flashes of fire, within mere seconds, all thirty-five ships were reduced to riddled, wrecked junk.

"How was it this time? Not as violent as before, right? Don't you think I was much gentler this time?" After doing all this, the Sea Emperor asked everyone.

Looking at the thirty-five metal objects that were almost not even spaceships, Liliath and Elsa gave the Sea Emperor a thumbs up.

Gu Ding was somewhat speechless, "Okay..." (To be continued~^~)
