Xiao Yang's figure hung alone in the cold, lifeless void of space.
Before him stood an iron forest of over a hundred menacing black warships. Their cannons glimmered with the light of destruction, like a hundred colossal beasts of the starry sky, mouths gaping wide to devour their prey.
Behind him was only a streamlined crimson Star Shuttle. Ning Hongye's figure was faintly visible behind its transparent window, her face filled with worry.
