The communication cut off, and the darkened screen reflected Angnis’s handsome face, which was full of indignation.

 

“I know what you want to say, don’t worry, I won’t throw myself into the net.” He Xiangchen turned around and held Angnis’s hand, patiently explaining, “The fact that the Qi Xing ship is still in hot pursuit up to now and hasn’t detected the slightest trace of the Empire No. 1 can only mean that there is a mole in the fighters who are maneuvering the starship. The planet Demira wants to take this opportunity to destroy the Qi Xing; I can’t let them succeed.”

 

“There will be danger.” Angnis stared intently at He Xiangchen; all he wanted to do now was to put him in his pocket and take him away, away from this place.

 

“I’ll negotiate with Yu Haoran after the Qi Xing leaps with us to a safe place and ditches the Empire One. We have the evidence in our hands, and as long as we can return to the Federation, I’ll be cleared of all charges. If you want, you can come with me to settle in the Federation. Or I’ll apply to be stationed at the border and accompany you to live in the Desolate Star.”

 

He Xiangchen began to plan for the future again.

 

The always forthright Angnis surprisingly didn’t disturb him.

 

The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful, completely devoid of the oppressive feeling of the storm they were currently in.

 

Not long after, the Rockside arrived at the Prada Starfield, where Fei’er and William were waiting in their crafts, ready to receive them.

 

The space of the star field began to distort, and the titanium thrusters of the Rockside began to operate. The entire node was flooded with a huge and unstable amount of energy, the final preparation before the jump. When the energy hit a critical level, it would open the space-time leap channel.

 

Right at that moment, a violent explosion resounded throughout the entire sphere! The shockwaves reached the Rockside, and He Xiangchen and Angnis glanced at each other, both seeing a look of gravity in the other’s eyes.

 

Empire One had made its move!

 

When comparing the most advanced armed technology of the planet Demira, the combat power of the Empire One was absolutely top-notch. Hundreds of particle g-un muzzles were aimed at the Qi Xing, and the light of particle fusion flashed on each of them!

 

He Xiangchen could only watch as the Qi Xing ship was engulfed by the dazzling light after urgently opening its shields.

 

“Oh no, the particle oscillations caused by the energy hedge will affect the leap channel; the energy reaction exceeds at least three energy levels!”

 

William, who had rushed over at high speed, made calculations while anxiously speaking to He Xiangchen and Angnis, “If this continues, the entire starfield will be engulfed by the riotous energy and turn into a giant black hole!”

 

A black hole, the most unpredictable existence in the universe.

 

Once the collapsing starfield formed a black hole, it would be just like those dying stars, turning into a dead star body with an extremely small volume and great mass. Once that time came, nothing would be able to escape its gravitational pull.

 

“As it is, something must be done to stop Empire One from continuing to fire. Angnis, give me a mecha; I’ll find a way to go around and destroy Empire One’s energy system.” He Xiangchen had been on the battlefield for a long time and made a decision at the first opportunity.

 

“No way!”

 

“Angnis!”

 

Angnis furrowed his brows and stood firm, “This is the Rockside; it’s my territory. If I say you can’t go, you can’t go! Fei’er, William, keep an eye on the General; don’t let him out of the cockpit!”

 

“Aye!” Fei’er and William vaguely knew what the boss was going to do; they clenched their teeth, forced back the lump in their throats, and physically blocked He Xiangchen’s way.

 

And Angnis, after giving a string of commands, had lifted his steps and stepped out of the cockpit.

 

From the surveillance screen, a dark black mecha flew out of the Rockside from the exit hatch.

 

He Xiangchen’s heart trembled; the mecha couldn’t stop that kind of energy level particle cannon, and Angnis would only die if he went that way. When he said that he would go around, he had the death wish of dying with the Empire One.

 

But now, he realized that he could put his own life and death at risk, but there was no way he could stand by and watch Angnis go to his death!

 

“Unlock it!” He Xiangchen hissed, “Your boss is crazy; are you crazy too? Hurry up and unlock it; I’m going to save him!”

 

William was on the verge of crying, “The password is set by the boss; none of us can unlock it.”

 

Angnis had set a course for the Rockside long ago and set another password for the course before he left. The Rockside’s firewall was of an extremely high grade, and even William couldn’t crack it.

 

There was only one way left…

 

“009, unlock it.”

 

He Xiangchen silently said to 009. He knew very well that in front of others, using energy that didn’t belong to this world would produce many unforeseen consequences. But at this point in time, he had no other way.

 

009 quickly unlocked the code for He Xiangchen, who used his fingers like flying and gave one string of commands after another.

 

William and Fei’er had both looked dumbfounded; they didn’t understand how He Xiangchen was able to unlock the password set by Angnis, but the hand speed he displayed was enough to make them doubt their lives.

 

Under He Xiangchen’s efforts, the Rockside finally abandoned its original course and turned back at a speed that was beyond ordinary.

 

“Fei’er, William, the starship is in your hands; all you have to do is keep changing your sailing direction and avoid the firepower of the Empire One as much as possible.”

 

He Xiangchen had set a total of more than a hundred commands for the Rockside, basically encompassing all possible events, and no matter what happened, the Rockside would be able to respond autonomously.

 

Fei’er couldn’t help but speak, “General Yu, it’s too dangerous outside; please stay on the starship.”

 

“I can save him; trust me.”

 

He Xiangchen’s tone was as firm as ever, as hard as a rock as he was as a person.

 

Fei’er sidestepped and stepped aside to make way for the door.

 

“Sister Fei’er…,” William’s eyes were red as he looked at He Xiangchen’s departing back, “they’ll be back, right?”

 

Fei’er looked at the silver and white mecha that rushed out of the exit hatch with determination, and a strong sense of foreboding struck her. She didn’t tell William about this emotion, but only reassured him softly, “Yes, they’ll all be safe.”

 

……

 

The battle between the Empire One and the Qi Xing was in full swing and had reached the point of white heat. The Qi Xing with its shield on also realized that it couldn’t keep on defending and gradually blew the horn for a counterattack.

 

Then, the energy that escaped became even more intense.

 

He Xiangchen piloted his mecha and wandered through the dense cannon fire of the Empire One and soon found Angnis, who had left before him. He immediately requested communication.

 

The Star Pirate leader’s furious face appeared on the display. “Didn’t I tell you to stay put? Why did you run out?”

 

“Wasn’t I worried about you?”

 

He Xiangchen smiled, his eyes as brilliant as stars.

 

Angnis cursed but maneuvered his mecha to join him.

 

“When we get back, the first thing I’m going to do is to do you, you disobedient little goblin!” Angnis gritted his teeth.

 

“Whatever.”

 

“That’s what you said; I recorded it all!”

 

“I said it.”

 

Angnis growled excitedly, “Go ahead, how should we fight? I can’t wait to take you back to bed!”

 

“We’ll flank and disrupt the Empire One’s energy systems; I’ll draw fire, and you sneak in.”

 

“No ……”

 

“If you want it, listen to me!” He Xiangchen said with a stern expression, his mouth filled with blo-od-pumping words. Angnis struggled to swallow a mouthful of saliva, and he had even begun to fantasize about the position he would be in when he was entwined with the general. It was clearly a moment of life and death, but his mind was filled with yellow waste.

 

Staring intently at the meticulous man on the screen, Angnis solemnly instructed, “Be careful with everything.”

 

“You too.”

 

The two mechas were separated at the touch of a button, and He Xiangchen, piloting the silver mecha, used most of his energy on long-range fire without stinting, smoothly drawing away a portion of the Empire One’s firepower.

 

Zhou Feng, who was in the Qi Xing ship, and some of He Xiangchen’s former comrades saw this scene. They didn’t know if the one in the silver-white mecha was their general or not, but they were certain that the mecha that had come to provide support definitely had something to do with the general.

 

“It’s the general who came to save us!” Zhou Feng was in tears. “It must be the general; he will never abandon us!”

 

His words quickly resonated with many warriors. To live and die together and to suffer together; it was more than just a slogan for them.

 

Yu Haoran gazed at the silver-white mecha, his gaze indescribably gloomy.

 

“Increase the firepower; we can’t let Cousin’s hard work go to waste!”

 

At Yu Haoran’s command, everyone sped up to give output commands. Zhou Feng gave him a strange look; he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t figure it out.

 

Meanwhile, He Xiangchen was still dodging the Empire One’s indiscriminate bombardment when he suddenly noticed that the light symbolizing a laser cannon had lit up on the Qi Xing ship.

 

“Not good!”

 

He Xiangchen suddenly realized something and launched a communication request to the Rockside at fire speed.

 

Over there, Fei’er said to him with a face full of anxiety, “The Starfield is about to collapse, General; please evacuate quickly!”

 

“Evacuate quickly?”

 

… Admittedly, the mecha’s small size and speed did allow it to escape before the star field collapsed, but after he left, what would the situation be like here?

 

Not only would the Empire One be drawn into the black hole, but even the Qi Xing and the Rockside wouldn’t be spared. And there was also Angnis, who was breaking into the energy module of the Empire One. Would he be able to escape successfully?

 

In the middle of thinking about it, a dazzling light suddenly flashed across the entire star field, and the worst happened.

 

They would all be swallowed up by the black hole!

 

The disturbed magnetic field automatically cut off the communication between He Xiangchen and Fei’er. Red light flashed inside the mecha, and a dense and ear-piercing alarm rang out.

 

“009, if I release all the energy given to me by the Lord god, can I stop the collapse of the Starfield?”

 

“…… It could be possible, but if we do that, we’ll have to return to system space. And if the host doesn’t find the virus, we won’t even have the energy needed to open the time tunnel to the next world.”

 

Reality didn’t give him a gap to hesitate, and in just one breath, he, along with the three starships, began to be drawn uncontrollably to the black hole that was taking shape.

 

“Come on,” He Xiangchen closed his eyes, “if fate stops me here, I have nothing to say.”
