As that step came down, it seemed as though the entire subspace trembled!
As he stepped forward,
the Star Sea Demon Ape gripped the silver-gray staff tightly in all four massive arms and swung it diagonally down from behind itself!
Wu Baiyi desperately turned the eight-direction helm.
But as the Star Sea Demon Ape swung the silver-gray staff, an invisible force field seemed to bind the Sky Peng Horizontal tightly in place!
The restraint lasted only an instant.
Then the silver-gray staff in the Star Sea Demon Ape's hands moved at a speed beyond the limits of reaction.
It came crashing down in an instant!
The staff slammed hard into the Sky Peng Horizontal!
The next moment,
before Wu Baiyi could even finish saying, "Impact warning,"
the Sky Peng Horizontal's hull shook violently!
This tremor was many times more intense than when the Star Sea Demon Ape had struck the ship from all sides with its four arms!
Even though everyone was seated and had activated their safety measures,
the violent shaking still left many of them momentarily dazed!
Throughout the Sky Peng Horizontal,
the violent tremor
destroyed a great deal of equipment and property.
Many people were injured.
Several functional compartments even collapsed!
That was the situation inside the Sky Peng Horizontal.
From the outside,
the instant the staff struck,
the pale golden halo enveloping the Sky Peng Horizontal's hull—the shield the Star Sea Demon Ape had regarded as both resilient and substantial—
which would normally have taken several attacks and endured a great deal of reflected damage to break through,
still had over ninety percent of its durability remaining.
Yet the instant the silver-gray staff touched it,
the halo was drained away completely, as if swallowed by a giant whale!
The silver-gray staff had not emerged unscathed, either.
