Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 925 - 654: Preparing to Strike Back!

"But..." After operating for a while, the Thousand Stars Commerce Alliance technician looked at his superior with a horrified expression, "This way, many ships from allied guilds will fall behind."

High-dimensional travel can still allow everyone to escape together through matrix link, but now that we are navigating the physical universe, it completely depends on each party's own capabilities.

At times like this, the performance gap between various factions' ships becomes evident.

Especially those ships closer to the cosmic monster, they might be swallowed by it from behind before they can fully accelerate.

Based on the technician's movement detection, at least 30% of the allied ships will be caught by the cosmic monster.

The chief of the Thousand Stars Commerce Alliance maintained a stern face. At this point, he didn't care about the lives and deaths of those allies... or rather, even if he did, what could he do?

Now, another more troublesome matter was laid before him—

The armed forces sent to capture the mysterious mech pilot of Bauhinia... failed.

Not only did they fail, they were completely annihilated.

When Lin De, who led the team, gave him the news, he couldn't believe its authenticity.

However, the fact was as such, and according to Lin De, even gathering the remaining combat personnel from the starship now wouldn't make a difference.

That guy wiped out his entire armed force without suffering any damage.

And now, including Lin De and his few legendary mech pilots, under the mysterious mech pilot's demand, were gradually coming to his command center.

What does the other party want to do?

What on the starship could possibly oppose him?

How could one ordinary person, in flesh and blood, overcome an entire armed force equipped with full gear?

If such a person wanted to harm him inside the starship... how could he possibly survive?

"Hiss~"

As the heavy mechanical door unfolded, a group of people walked into the command center one after another.

Leading them was Lin De, the commander he sent to capture the mysterious mech pilot.

The expression on the other's face didn't look good.

Upon the arrival of this group, the rest of the personnel in the command center remained busy with their own tasks, only Xing Zhuo tidied up his attire and solemnly greeted them.

With the situation at hand, there's no use in dodging.

Moreover, the other party spared Lin De and the other legendary mech pilots, perhaps indicating his attitude—

Perhaps he doesn't want to completely oppose their Thousand Stars Commerce Alliance, otherwise, he would have killed his way through.

"I am Xing Zhuo, the leader of this Thousand Stars Commerce Alliance expedition." The mildly plump Xing Zhuo extended a solemn hand to Bai E, "You must be Mr. Bai Er?"

Through Lin De's report, he already learned Bai E's current title.

Bai E did not immediately speak up nor acknowledge the extended right hand.

This was the first time he came to the core command center of a cosmic human's starship, the scene here was completely different from what he had imagined in the past.

In his mind, a ship capable of developing interstellar travel technology should be simple and efficient.

As for the core command center, not to mention smoothly mirroring and silvery bright, at least it should be well-lit, brimming with a sense of high technology.

Yet in front of him, there were exposed thick cables and sticky mechanical oil sheen all around, completely adopting a dark style.

Under the dim red and green lights, there was an atmosphere of primal wilderness and backwardness everywhere, which looked nothing like a civilization capable of interstellar travel with high technology.

And more attention-grabbing was their central control platform—

Unlike what Bai E expected, their platform wasn't constructed of simple and efficient electronic systems, without large clear screens nor straightforward operation systems.

Instead, it consisted of a core pylon of human heads.

Every time the operators around the heavy dark operation platforms issued a command, the faces of those heads central to the pylon showed expressions of agony.

They weren't dead...but they weren't alive either.

These heads were in a peculiar state of neither living nor dying, the pylon system maintaining their last bit of vitality, drawing from their human wisdom and thinking ability.

Unlike the planet's electronic systems, these cosmos humans used wholly human brain thought to replace computer AI.

Driven entirely by human strength, they navigated gigantic ships capable of interstellar travel!

'Is it due to the electronic demon?' Bai E's first thought was this suspicion, it was the first formidable opponent he personally confronted on the planet.

The erstwhile Empire on the planet fell into disarray due to this demon, left with no choice but to fight independently. Yet little did he expect the universe's humans, beset by this demon, completely developed another form of brilliant technology.

However, this technology... cruel and barbaric.

As an outsider, Bai E had no grounds to comment, more significant troubles awaited him.

Ignoring the slightly awkward raised hand of the Thousand Stars Commerce Alliance's chief, Bai E turned his head to look outside the transparent porthole, "What's the situation? Can the fleet move?"

Even without the reports from the spacecraft, he could perceive from spiritual energy feedback that the airspace was blocked.

A vast ethereal spiritual energy field, accompanying the Bug Race fleet's approach, had already invisibly enveloped the entire cosmic space where the human fleet was located.

Regarding the spiritual energy level of the Bug Race, Bai E already had a clear understanding from the battlefield during his first encounter with the Tyrant.
