Time was running short.
But Wang Dong didn't urge Shi Zunhou.
The weapons aboard the Sky Peng Horizontal had already been operating at full power for some time.
Urging him further wouldn't make any difference. It would only put unnecessary pressure on Shi Zunhou.
Wang Dong was certainly no incompetent commander.
He chose to bear that pressure himself.
And let Shi Zunhou do his job without interference!
In fact,
the command deck wasn't very big.
Mada hadn't made any effort to keep his report from the others. How could Shi Zunhou not have heard it?
Wang Dong had only casually replied that he understood.
How could Shi Zunhou not know what was at stake?
There was no need to hammer the point home.
And it wasn't just Shi Zunhou.
Even Wu Baiyi knew what they had to do!
The next moment,
Wu Baiyi gently nudged the eight-direction helm.

Shi Zunhou's expression, meanwhile, grew even more focused.
Every time the Sky Peng Horizontal fired, it waited until its hull was almost pressed against the core layer of the Puppet Mother Tree.
At that range,

But now, both Wu Baiyi and Shi Zunhou deliberately ignored it!
The results were immediate.
The damage to the Puppet Mother Tree's core layer increased by another thirty percent, pushing it to its limit!
Another dozen or so hours passed.
"The Spacetime Layering phenomenon has begun!
A stable spacetime channel is expected to form in four
