Entering the Spaceship

She opened the hatch and leaped down.

As for that Intelligent Fighter?

It was only Universe level. It sounded impressive, but in reality, it could only withstand the attacks of Lord-level Monsters. And in the deep sea, where countless marine monsters dwelled, Lord-level Monsters?

They were nothing.

At any moment, the claw of a King-level Monster might appear out of nowhere.

No matter how little Vinina thought of the thing, she could not use it to skip stones.

And that was indeed the case. As Vinina continued descending, even with Babata guiding her, she still encountered an overwhelming number of marine monsters.

Lord-level Monsters were practically everywhere among them, and she occasionally encountered King-level Monsters comparable to Planetary level. Only after she descended beneath the seafloor did the situation improve.

But by then, the waters Vinina had passed through had already been dyed red with blood.

She had not killed them deliberately. She simply unleashed her Battle Intent Power to maintain her speed as she descended in a straight line. The moment those marine monsters met the brilliant radiance condensed from her Battle Intent Power, they were instantly torn to pieces.

Beneath the seafloor, Vinina rapidly descended.

She pierced through the rock, sinking deeper and deeper.

Before long, Babata spoke. "We're here."

Vinina immediately slowed down. As she broke through the rock, she crashed into some hard object, and her entire body shuddered.

"That's it!"

Vinina's Battle Intent Power instantly spread outward, forming a simple model of the five-hundred-meter area around her in her mind.

An enormous warship!

"This is a mothership!"

Babata's voice was full of excitement. "Keep going. Follow this path and head straight ahead!"

"With the mothership's protection, the Universe Spaceship inside likely really hasn't suffered much damage!"

"No wonder your Earthlings call this place a death zone. A mothership in a Starry Sky fleet would have at least a large number of technological weapons capable of threatening Star level beings on the Universe Spaceship it protected. For a primitive planet like Earth, where not even the strongest possess Star level strength, wouldn't this be a death zone?"

"But this mothership is meaningless to us. Most of its internal weapons have already been dismantled, and the ones that remain are mostly corroded. Keep moving!"

Vinina nodded slightly.

Then, following Babata's instructions, she swiftly advanced along the passage.

Soon, she entered a massive hangar.

A black, saucer-shaped spaceship about a hundred meters in diameter was parked there, its hull emblazoned with the image of a giant dragon with two wings.

"So it's this one!"

Babata immediately said excitedly, "It seems there was a wealthy fellow in the interstellar fleet Master destroyed with a single move back then. He actually could afford a 'Black Dragon Mountain—X81 Model Spaceship'!"

"Even in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, he would count as a major figure!"

After saying that, Babata excitedly began explaining the spaceship's value. Vinina listened patiently until it finished before finally asking, "So, how do we get in?"

"That's easy."

Babata looked completely confident. "You should know that standing before you is Demon Babata, who accompanied Master through the universe for more than sixty million years. How could a mere spaceship stop me?"

"Besides, this model of adventure spaceship was quite famous back then. I studied it when I had nothing better to do, so I know its structure very well."

"Just go in. Leave the rest to my command."

"Alright."

Vinina nodded slightly, stepped forward, grabbed the gap in the hatch, and pulled hard!

Crash!

The hatch flew open instantly.

"Use your Mental Power to control this thing. Insert the thin end into the gap between the gate and the ground."

With a wave of Babata's tiny hand, a tool resembling an axe appeared before Vinina.

Vinina had not deliberately hidden the Battle Formation Master Inheritance from Babata. She had tried to explain it before, but after some discussion, she eventually gave up.

There was no helping it. She was only Planetary level now, and her understanding of Battle Formation Masters was limited. How was she supposed to convince an Intelligent life that had once followed an Immortal God through countless years?

Everything Vinina said was summed up by Babata in one sentence: a branch of Mental Masters, just a minor path, not worth studying too deeply.

What was there left to explain?

Vinina could not be bothered to explain anymore. A branch of Mental Masters it was, then. It was not as though she lacked a sea of consciousness. She had simply used it to store Battle Intent Power before. If she replaced it with Mental Power, she could be considered a Mental Master as well.

Thus, while using Battle Intent Power to temper her will, Vinina had also expanded her sea of consciousness and condensed the sea-of-consciousness planet representing Planetary level. Now, she could also be considered a Planetary-level Mental Master.

Her Mental Power now free, she controlled the axe-like tool and sent it shooting toward the gate.

After several attempts, she finally inserted it into the gap between the gate and the ground.

Then, the axe-like tool emitted a strange sound. Accompanied by that sound, the enormous gate made of black uranium slowly rose.

A closer look revealed that the axe tool had split into two layers, with the upper layer continuously pushing upward.

Like a jack.

"Can I just rush in?"

"That's right!"

Babata nodded slightly. "The lasers in this passage aren't very powerful. At most, they can kill Planetary-level fifth- or sixth-stage beings. With your domain enhancement and the protection of the Cloud-Piercing Vine on your body, it won't be a problem."

"Alright!"

Vinina let out a long breath. She drove her Battle Intent Power to its limit, faint flashes of lightning flickering within it. Then she lunged forward, charging toward the end of the laser passage.

Countless lasers shot toward Vinina along the way. After being weakened layer by layer by her domain, they slammed heavily into the Cloud-Piercing Battle Armor on her body.

But they did not affect her speed in the slightest.

Only after she passed beneath the gate raised by the axe tool did she stop.

"What next?"

Vinina looked around. Behind her came a thunderous boom, the sound of Babata retrieving that Giant Axe tool and the gate crashing down.

"Nothing now."

"We've entered the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship. Normally, there won't be any danger from here on. After all, spaceships are meant to be piloted. Unless the previous owner was especially bizarre, there won't be any traps inside."

Babata looked utterly relaxed. "You only need to head to the command room and insert the 'signal device' into the spaceship's intelligent system interface. After that, there's nothing for you to do."

"The great Demon Babata will easily handle everything!"

Yeah, right.

Vinina shook her head slightly. She knew there were still three metal robots made of black uranium aboard this Black Dragon Mountain spaceship. Their defenses were astonishing, and their strength was roughly comparable to the peak of Planetary level.

But testing herself against them would not hurt.

They were only three metal robots made of black uranium. It would also be a good chance to test the results of her recent efforts.
