All of this happened in an instant. Just as the captains below believed the eighth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon would be unable to evade, another sudden change occurred.
Just before the golden, frost-glinting ram mounted on the Galaxy Ship was about to collide with the eighth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon's million-kilometer-long body, vast amounts of pitch-black energy abruptly surged from the demon's body.
