"Surviving in the cracks of the Cosmic Kingdom..." Ziyu pondered, then thought of a possibility.
The signals from these people could be easily intercepted by Ziyu, indicating that their technology was not very advanced. However, they were the first to arrive here and were likely the local power players.
In this universe, there are people who survive in the cracks of the Cosmic Kingdom, carving out their own space, believing they do not belong to any Cosmic Kingdom.
They are called Interstellar Wanderers.
They establish their own territory in a small Solar System or a designated area, living there for a while. When the people from the Cosmic Kingdom come to capture them, they leave.
They live freely, occasionally waging war against the Cosmic Kingdom and opposing it.
Of course, their actions have certain limits; the more ordinary ones are akin to swordsmen in ancient China—carefree and wandering far and wide... while the more extreme ones resemble terrorists.
The Cosmic Kingdom does not allow such unstable elements that threaten public order to exist. Therefore, once there is news about them, the Cosmic Kingdom will directly notify and dispatch military forces to attempt to eliminate them.
But this is like trying to eradicate a terrorist organization or a reclusive master; it cannot be completely eliminated.
After one wave is wiped out, another will emerge.
"They are likely Interstellar Wanderers; it seems we have no way to escape," Ziyu realized. Although the Battle Armor was formidable, the chances of just the two of them escaping were slim... Moreover, Ziyu did not even know where they were.
"They mentioned another Solar System; it seems they must have many Solar Systems," Ziyu whispered.
A Solar System... every Solar System mentioned in the universe is at least of the scale of a Galaxy System. Ziyu and Zero's Battle Armor wormhole construction system could not jump at all, and without knowledge of the Nearby area, jumping might lead them straight into someone's lair.
"A Solar System... there should be life present, right..." Ziyu frowned. "What if we pretend to be survivors from this Solar System?"
"Just in case... what if there isn't..." Zero said, "Generally, the Cosmic Kingdom manages Solar Systems with life and inhabitants very strictly."
It is rare for a living Solar System to be lost to another force by the Cosmic Kingdom; those Interstellar Wanderers typically seek out uninhabited or technologically undeveloped Solar Systems to survive.
And Zero is a Mechanical Life, easily identifiable as having technology.
"Then let's pretend we want to join them," Ziyu suggested. "When the opportunity arises, we can escape."
~~~~~~~~~
Between the shattered Solar Systems.
Six or seven ships floated here, inspecting the nearby environment and recording the information about the destruction of this Solar System.
"The other side likely used a large amount of Antimatter, causing these planets to be annihilated and generating massive energy that destroyed this area."
"Boss, how much Antimatter does that require?"
"Whatever the amount is, it’s just as our scans indicate. What else can we do?"
"Uh... right, boss."
"Now, let's return."
A conversation echoed through the Fleet as it prepared to head back.
"Wait a moment."
The Fleet's Signal transmission system received a message in Universal Language.
The Fleet immediately became alert, looking around.
"What is it...?" Ziyu stood directly in front of Fleet, waving his hand.
At that moment, Fleet realized it was just this little figure in the distance.
At first, the members of Fleet had not paid attention.
"What do you want?" one of the Fleet members asked Ziyu.
"Are you part of the Interstellar Wanderers organization?" Ziyu inquired.
"And so what if we are?"
"I want to join you," Ziyu stated his intention directly.
"Join us? What qualifications do you have?" came a somewhat sarcastic voice from Fleet.
"Then what qualifications do you require?" Ziyu smiled slightly and beckoned to himself with his finger.
Ziyu knew that the Interstellar Wanderers were all passionate individuals who believed most in strength.
"Since you're coming, then come!" The front of the spaceship opened, and hundreds of Drones flew out, heading straight for Ziyu.
"My brother and I are about equally matched; I can handle this alone." Ziyu stepped forward, signaling Zero not to move.
"Arrogant." A cold snort came from inside the spaceship.
These guys were quite confident in their Drone technology, at least not believing that hundreds of Drones could be taken down by a single person.
"Do you have a Defensive Crystal Barrier System? If so, activate it. From now on, we're on the same side; it wouldn't be good to accidentally harm each other," Ziyu reminded them as the Battle Armor on his arms began to expand indefinitely.
The Battle Armor on Ziyu's arms transformed into square pillars, making it hard to distinguish what they were at first glance.
"I'm going to start sweeping them away!" Ziyu extended his arms forward, and the metal pillars fused together, forming what appeared to be a large cannon.
The Energy Conversion Device for Absorbing Matter behind Ziyu was operating at full speed, while many similar devices on the pillars absorbed dust particles present in space.
"If I were fighting a person, I wouldn't have time to charge up like this, but Drones are just Drones; they definitely won't perform as well as humans when on a mission," Ziyu thought to himself.
Drones had poorer judgment compared to humans, so they were programmed to "act cautiously," minimizing losses whenever possible.
This meant that sometimes Drones would circle around you without attacking.
After all, Drones couldn't carry artificial Intelligence; otherwise, it would truly resemble Transformers. If they rebelled en masse, humanity would be in trouble.
A small Light on the pillar kept extending, indicating the energy level of the attack that the pillar could unleash.
"Wait a moment..." Ziyu stared calmly at the hundreds of Drones in front of her.
"Whoosh, whoosh..." The Drones finally launched their attack before Ziyu could finish charging. Ziyu quickly dodged; although the Power System of her Battle Armor was limited by the presence of the pillar, her agility remained high.
"Charging complete." The pillar in front of Ziyu had accumulated enough energy. In her calculations, this energy could annihilate all the Drones before her in an instant.
"Good..." Ziyu narrowed her eyes as she looked at the Drones following her.
"Die!" With complete control over the pillar gone, the front end began to rapidly gather energy and fire.
The Power System of the Battle Armor was also activated to maximum power, countering the recoil from the pillar.
Ziyu gripped the pillar with both hands and swung it back forcefully. A brilliant beam of light swept across, and those Drones that came into contact with it were instantly shattered...
"Boom, boom, boom..." Intense explosions echoed throughout the space, and even many of the Defensive Crystal Barrier Systems on distant ships were damaged, with some sustaining injuries.
Ziyu's attack just now utilized energy blocks from three sets of Battle Armor and all the dust nearby.
"Now then, am I qualified?"
Ziyu disassembled the cylindrical cannon, breathing heavily as she looked at the ships.
