Earth Matters Settled, Entering the Universe!

"Straight ahead!"

"To the left!"

"The command room is up ahead. Follow the route we just—"

"Damn it, was this ship's owner insane?"

"This piece of junk has been sunk for eight hundred thousand years, yet it's still maintaining robots? Just how much energy did he leave behind?"

After following the instructions for a short while, Vinina heard Babata's curses in her mind. However, she had no time to mock him, because the three metal robots were already right in her face.

Boom!

Vinina's slender arm drove her fist forward with explosive force. A hazy golden domain flickered with lightning as it enveloped the three metal robots, and her fist crashed heavily into the foremost one. The terrifying force instantly sent it flying, smashing it into the wall beside the stairway.

Yet at a glance, it was completely unscathed.

Vinina's heavy punch had not even left a white mark on it.

"They're really tough."

Vinina sighed, then suddenly charged forward. The battle spear in her hand thrust out again and again as she tangled with the three metal robots. But her attacks were like scratches to them, unable to leave even the slightest trace, much less affect them.

Even a full-force thrust infused with Battle Intent Power could barely leave a faint white mark on their bodies.

Their attacks, however, posed a fatal threat to Vinina. Though they merely threw simple punches, if one landed, then even with the domain weakening the blow and the Cloud-Piercing Battle Armor blocking it, the horrifying impact could still injure Vinina outright.

Still, these things had obvious flaws. Their attack methods were extremely limited, and they lacked sufficient intelligence. They could only clumsily throw punches and kicks. With the help of her domain, Vinina could easily kite them around.

Until Babata finally responded, "Done. I've taken control of those three robots."

"That solved it already?"

"Or do you want to keep fighting for a while?"

"Forget it. Maybe later."

Vinina looked at the three robots, her eyes still carrying a trace of reluctance, but she ultimately waved her hand and pushed open the silver door under Babata's guidance.

Creak—

The instant it opened, a spacious and luxurious command room came into view. As the air circulated, the soldier who had been seated in the chair at the center immediately scattered away like ash. The uniforms of the three guards in black standing behind him did the same, exposing their silver skin.

Two men and one woman.

"They aren't living people."

Looking at the three half-naked guards, Babata could not help but exclaim, "These three guards are a special product known as Flowing Silver Guards. Their main material is Flowing Silver Metal, which is even more precious than Uranium Metal."

Vinina shrugged slightly. Rather than interrupt Babata's explanation, she turned her gaze toward the control console in front of the soldier who had turned to ash.

An image of a green-haired woman appeared on the screen, and then the universal language of the universe echoed through the command room.

Although Vinina struggled somewhat to speak the universal language of the universe, she could still roughly translate simple phrases. In summary, its meaning was: "Intruders, leave immediately, or bear the consequences."

Vinina shrugged, paying it no mind. Under the terrified gaze of the green-haired woman, she directly inserted the memory-card-like signal device Babata had just given her.

Immediately, a piercing alarm rang throughout the command room.

"Now it's time for me to show off!"

"Watch how the noble Demon Babata ravages her, gah gah~~~~"

Babata cackled strangely while confidently declaring, "I'll crack her within thirty minutes!"

But the very moment he started working at full force and launched his invasion, the ship's defense system activated. After its resistance proved ineffective, it immediately initiated the self-destruct sequence.

"Please enter the password within thirty seconds. Otherwise, the self-destruct sequence will begin."

"29."

"28."

"27."

"So, the situation now is that you violently destroyed the ship's control system?"

Vinina watched Babata, whose face was full of embarrassment, then looked at the pitch-black control room with a faint smile.

"Who the hell knew this crappy ship had a self-destruct program? It automatically activates when it comes under an attack it can't resist. Thirty seconds! Even the strongest intelligence in the universe couldn't crack a system like this in such a short time. I don't know any damned password either, so this was my only option."

"Don't look at me like that. Violently destroying it still takes skill. Only someone like me, whose intelligence level far surpasses hers, could manipulate a massive data flow and destroy it instantly before she could react—"

"No need to say so much."

Vinina waved her hand and smiled. "If you're bad at it, practice more."

"What do we do next?"

She did not dwell on the subject, since this had been expected anyway.

Besides, even violently destroying the ship's control system would not have much of an impact on the ship itself. At most, Babata would just have to write a new control system.

"Let's loot the remains first."

"Anyone who could afford a Black Dragon Mountain X81 and Flowing Silver Guards should have some decent possessions."

Babata responded quickly. His voice was somewhat dejected, but it was nothing serious.

The bratty little girl had merely lost face.

Vinina was more than happy to enjoy the sight.

The spoils were mainly in the soldier's storage ring. There were some decent items, the most valuable being a third-tier Force Weapon. Unfortunately, it was a battle saber. As for the remaining treasures, battle suits, and weapons, very few were of any use to Vinina.

Still, they could be sold for money.

"How long will it take to prepare the new control system?"

In response to Vinina's question, Babata said:

"Go reopen that hatch. I'll have the three Uranium Metal robots inspect the ship as a whole. If the damage isn't too serious, it should be resolved in ten days to half a month."

He said ten days to half a month, but naturally, it could not truly be resolved that quickly. After all, this Black Dragon Mountain X81 ship had been stranded on Earth for eight hundred thousand years. Over such a long period, some functions had inevitably been damaged. On top of that, the ship's intelligent and control systems had been completely destroyed by force, and many transmission systems had been damaged in the process when their control links were severed.

Even an Intelligent life like Babata could only resolve these problems bit by bit.

During this period, Vinina also dealt with some miscellaneous matters on Earth, such as the Zerg Mother Queen's nest deep within Shennongjia, the Mechanical Race ship in the depths of the ocean, and leaving a Uranium Metal robot in the Pacific Ocean to keep watch at all times.

Naturally, she was waiting for that egg.

Vinina also left a Uranium Metal robot in Jiangnan Base City, China, naturally for Luo Feng's sake.

But it was only there to observe. Vinina still did not wish to interfere with the future growth of the protagonist from the Original Work.

She would just let things take their course.

After finishing all this, Vinina began patiently waiting for Babata's reply. In the meantime, she also casually dealt with several people on Earth who displeased her.

Sago Neheru, Atkin, and Yan Hai were all on the list.

As for Li Yao, after some hesitation, Vinina ultimately chose to let him go. His actions in the Original Work could not exactly be called wrong, and he had not had much interaction with her in this life. Moreover, part of the treatment she had received in the Polenas Family at the beginning was, to some extent, thanks to him being an Initial War God.

She would let him be.

And so, more than two months passed before Babata finally gave his answer!
