Above the Demon Fortress.
The void rippled.
An enraged Morgana emerged from it.
She shouted an order:
"Go after him! Don't let him get away!"
In an instant,
the Demon warriors, still reeling from the shock, snapped back to their senses.
The well-equipped Demon warriors controlled the Mechanical Wings on their armor and flew after him at high speed.
One Demon troop carrier after another shot out from different parts of the fortress.
It was a spectacular sight,
like a hive of hornets swarming out all at once.
Although the Demon forces were a technological civilization at the forefront of the Known Universe,
even their foot soldiers' personal combat gear and flying equipment ranked among the best in the Known Universe.
But what kind of existence was the Emperor Steed?
It possessed a speed that surpassed light.
Its special abilities could even let it travel through time!
In just that short while,
Ye Yang had piloted the Emperor Steed away from Earth at superluminal speed.
He had reached outer space.
He had even flown past several enormous planets.
When Ye Yang realized he was in outer space and brought the Emperor Steed to a stop,
a massive planet appeared before him, with towering icebergs, deep canyons, overlapping impact craters, and vast plains.
One notable feature was the enormous red patch encircling its equator.
That strange and beautiful region was named the "Cthulhu Spot."
"Is this... somewhere near Pluto?"
Ye Yang murmured to himself.
He hadn't meant to lose control of his speed,
but he'd ended up near Pluto.
Still, he'd better turn back.
Ye Yang slowly turned the Emperor Steed around.
He was just about to accelerate
when, suddenly,
he sensed a large number of powerful energy signatures on the other side of the planet,
flying through space toward him.
"As expected of the Ultimate Emperor Armor. It's taken my senses to a terrifying level. I can detect them from that far away."
After waiting on the Emperor Steed for a little while,
Ye Yang saw a large cross-shaped warship, along with about twenty escort ships shaped like black-armored whales, flying in formation.
They seemed to be heading in the same direction he'd come from: back toward Earth.
"Oh? I run into a formation of spaceships out here in deep space? That's rare."
Ye Yang was amazed.
But his easygoing nature
didn't make him want to go investigate.
Instead, like a space tourist,
he stayed where he was,
waiting for the ships to pass him.
He wanted to experience the sheer size of a space battleship up close.
After all, Ye Yang was a transmigrator.
In his previous life,
UFOs,
extraterrestrial life, alien spaceships, and the like
had been topics of endless discussion.
Even easygoing Ye Yang had been quite interested in them.
Now that he'd transmigrated into a world where aliens appeared all the time,
he wasn't about to pass up a chance to see a real spaceship up close.
As for the Demon One he'd just been aboard,
it wasn't the kind of alien spaceship Ye Yang had imagined.
These ships before him were.
Meanwhile,
inside the command room of the Vanguard Cross flagship,
"Report, sirs. Crocodile God Soton is resisting the transfer and has injured many Taotie Warriors. Please advise."
A Taotie Warrior delivered his report.
Xiong Lu and Feng Lei, seated at the command positions, heard him.
Although they were mechanical beings,
facing the savage and mindless Soton still gave them the same headache they'd known back when they were flesh and blood.
"Then leave him here for now. Make sure he has plenty to eat and drink,"
Xiong Lu ordered.
Once only he and Feng Lei remained in the command room,
Xiong Lu shook his mechanical head and said,
"No warrior here can beat him. We should contact Demon Queen Morgana as soon as possible and have her take Soton off our hands."
Feng Lei said, "I already contacted her. The Demon side just replied that a powerful enemy had invaded the Demon Fortress and blown off the top of Morgana's royal hall."
"The royal hall was blown apart? It must have been a powerful being from Super Seminary on Earth. This probably means Morgana has officially clashed head-on with one of the gods from Super Seminary."
"Exactly. All we can do now is wait. Once Morgana wipes out the gods on Earth, we can start cleaning house."
"Then order the fleet to slow down and engage automatic cruise control."
Feng Lei nodded.
Suddenly,
the metal doors of the quiet command room opened automatically.
A Taotie Warrior in blue-and-white mech armor reported,
"Report, sir. We've spotted a warrior wearing unknown armor and riding an unidentified vehicle in the forward route. The individual doesn't seem able to receive messages, and repeated attempts to communicate have failed."
The news surprised Xiong Lu and Feng Lei.
Could there be another advanced civilization in the Chiwu Star System?
"Put the image up."
Xiong Lu ordered.
The Taotie Warrior raised the armored gauntlet on his arm.
A holographic projection appeared in the air.
It showed Ye Yang in space, wearing the Emperor Armor and riding the Emperor Steed.
"Have you checked the Database?" Feng Lei asked the warrior.
"We have. We couldn't find any records resembling this individual among the countless civilizations in the Known Universe," the Taotie Warrior replied.
"Probably some country bumpkin from a nearby star system. If we can't contact him, just shoot him down. Don't report trivial matters like this again," Xiong Lu said indifferently.
"Yes, sir."
The Taotie Warrior turned and left after receiving his orders.
