Her right hand rose again. This time, her index finger pointed toward the mothership.
Her finger drew a small circle in the air—not a light shield, but a golden disc one meter in diameter.
The disc spun at her fingertip with a low hum, then flew out.
It did not fly in a straight line, but weaved through space along an erratic, unpredictable trajectory.
It passed through the asteroid belt, curved around several massive rocks, and then crashed into the fighter fleet released by the Skrull mothership.
As Android 18 counterattacked, the Skrull mothership deployed over a hundred combat ships.
Those ships were the Skrulls' most advanced aerial combat units, each around twenty meters long.
They were equipped with four energy cannons and two interstellar missiles, capable of highly maneuverable combat both within an atmosphere and in the vacuum of space.
They flew out from multiple hatches on the mothership, forming a three-dimensional attack formation that surrounded Android 18 and Nymph at its center.
The golden disc struck the first combat ship, slicing it cleanly in half.
There was no explosion, no fire. It was simply cut straight down the middle by something unimaginably sharp, sharp enough to seem like it operated at an atomic level.
The two halves of the ship drifted apart, exposing its internal equipment and Skrull pilots to the vacuum.
They were instantly killed by cosmic radiation and the temperature of absolute zero.
The golden disc did not stop.
It continued flying, cutting through the second, third, fourth...
With every ship it sliced apart, it grew a little faster, and its trajectory became a little more elusive.
It was as if it were adapting to this method of attack, optimizing its own combat efficiency.
By the time it reached the fiftieth ship, it had become a
