Half an hour later.
William, who had simple command authority over the Dreadnought Fleet, piloted forty-four dagger-shaped Dreadnought Warships away from the interior of the Shield World and back to the surface.
After returning to the surface.
The Amber and the Dreadnought Fleet passed through the Flood haze gathered at low altitude and flew toward the Shield World's near-orbit.
The Amber possessed an AT Energy Shield, which could resist the tiny Flood Spores in the low-altitude regions above the surface. However, the Dreadnought Warships were directly contaminated by the spore haze.
Even after reaching outer space, the various kinds of radiation, low temperatures, and low pressure could not make the tiny spores disappear.
To prevent the Flood Spores aboard the Dreadnought Warships from infecting Fleet Zero, William planned to have Keisha, who possessed purification abilities, purify the Amber and the Dreadnought Warships.
At that moment.
In orbit two hundred kilometers above the Shield World's surface.
Fleet Zero, led by the Star Killer-class, was maintaining synchronized orbit with the surface base. All the warships had also activated their Energy Shields.
That was because twenty kilometers ahead of Fleet Zero was the Amber, which had passed directly through the spore haze, along with forty-four Dreadnought Warships measuring nine kilometers in length.
Faced with more than forty warships no weaker than the Infinity-class, even the Star Killer-class looked considerably dimmer by comparison.

"Yes, Boss... Angel Keisha has already flown out of the Star Killer-class's hangar and is heading toward the Amber."
As Serena's voice faded, William
