“There are other forms of energy existing within Pioneer. After System devoured the special high-energy crystals, theoretically, the Pioneer Ship can also reach its destination planet using other forms of energy.
To supplement the missing energy of the War God System and enhance the Host, it is set to cultivate the Host into a war god as soon as possible, with the highest authority settings that cannot be delayed.” The head of the War God System spoke to Rek, forcibly controlling Rek's body to walk down to the lower levels of the spaceship.
Rek sadly realized that his body was no longer under his control, but at least he could still speak.
“Rek, what are you doing! Aren't you supposed to be at the control chair reporting data to your Star Alliance Federation Military control center?” Sister Makoxin asked Rek.
“I’m just going to take a look at the structure of this Pioneer Ship. The data will be sent back by the Pioneer's intelligence core later; it’s just a bit slow. Our Star Alliance isn’t in a hurry to see the data,” Rek replied casually.
Controlled by the War God System, Rek arrived at the power storage room of the Pioneer spaceship.
In the center of the power room, a transparent energy net enclosed more than ten white crystals floating in mid-air.
The War God System controlled Rek's right hand, which reached directly into the energy net as if those high-voltage energy nets did not exist.
Rek's hand grasped one of the special white energy crystals, which quickly vanished from his hand.
In less than a minute, more than ten white energy crystals were completely devoured by the War God System, leaving not even a trace of energy residue.
Rek regained control over his body.
“Won't this be discovered immediately? You didn’t leave a single one behind!” Rek complained about the greed of the War God System.
“I have already tampered with the surveillance facilities on the Pioneer. For a short time, the Pioneer Ship can navigate using other energy sources without being detected. I will also place some false energy crystals,” said the War God System nonchalantly.
As the voice of the War God System faded, several fake energy crystals appeared floating in the spot where the real ones had just vanished.
"It seems you have quite a bit of experience as a thief!" Rek said, quickly leaving the Power Reserve Room and heading back into the Control Room.

With just one hour left until Earth faced ultimate destruction, Rek felt a sense of unease.
The Angel Sisters' Maria was sitting in the control chair, holding an unknown pouch of juice and sipping it.
Makshin was intently focused on the data displayed on the screen, while Sister Maria stared blankly as she drank her juice.
"I suggest we activate the Pioneer anti-gravity device early, leave Earth's orbit, and enter space!" Rek said seriously as he approached the two sisters.
"Ah!" Sister Maria was startled out of her daze by Rek's sudden words.
"Why? That would consume energy from our ship, although we still have enough reserves," Sister Makshin asked, puzzled.
"What if I told you that sometimes I have a gift for foreseeing future dangers? Would you believe me? I have a feeling that something very dangerous is about to happen on Earth, and we must get away to survive!" Rek insisted with a serious expression and a firm tone.
"Foreseeing future dangers! What a joke! Absurd! Just because of your unfounded premonition, you want us to waste our ship's energy! In the vastness of space, it will take the Pioneer eight years to pass through the wormhole to reach our destination. Who knows what dangers we might encounter along the way that would require us to use up our reserves?" Sister Makshin replied sharply to Rek, giving him a disdainful look afterward.
"I reiterate, we must stay away from Earth.
I believe you have seen my file before. I have only been in the military for a little over a month, but during that time on the battlefield, I have survived hundreds of life-and-death crises.
I am telling you now that my survival is due to my ability to foresee future dangers, a gift I have never missed." Rek said with a serious expression.
Sister Makoxin stood up after hearing Rek's words.
"I can sense that when Rek said this, his heartbeat and some bodily functions were normal; he should not be lying.
I have heard that after the Star Alliance Genetic Mecha Warriors achieve a symbiotic state with the Genetic Mech, some highly potential warriors will awaken unique Abilities. This Ability is similar to how we gain special skills by merging with the Angel Gene," Sister Makoxin said earnestly.
"Rek, are you sure your precognitive ability is accurate? Is there going to be a significant danger on Earth?
We are already in orbit outside of Earth; do we really need to move further away to avoid danger? What level of danger is about to occur on Earth?" Sister Maria asked Rek, unwilling to give up.
"We must move further away to ensure safety! I guarantee it with my life," Rek replied.
"Alright, prepare to activate the Pioneer anti-gravity device. At the next orbital point, we will fly out of Earth's orbit.
The estimated departure time is fifty minutes from now. At that time, the acceleration of the Pioneer will not consume too much energy for the ship. Fifty minutes should be enough distance, right?" Sister Makoxin asked Rek.
Maria waved her small fist at Rek defiantly and said, "Remember your promise. If you are wrong in your judgment, from now on during our journey, you will have to listen to me and my sister."
"Sure thing, little girl. If my premonition is correct and saves your life, will you give me a monkey?" Rek replied playfully after feeling relieved that he had convinced the angel sisters.
"All you know how to do is monkey around, your whole family are monkeys!" Maria angrily ignored Rek.

Fifty minutes later, Pioneer cut off the remote control mode from Earth and switched to autonomous control by the spacecraft Light Brain.
The spacecraft activated its anti-gravity device and began to deviate from its planned orbital trajectory, moving away from Earth.
In the monitoring room on Earth, some researchers from the Glorious Empire and the Star Alliance Federation expressed their dissatisfaction with the astronauts aboard Pioneer taking such actions on their own.
However, for those astronauts who were preparing to face death, allowing the spacecraft to leave its original orbit around Earth was merely a way to consume more energy. It had little impact on the overall mission, especially since the pilots aboard Pioneer had the highest control authority in the face of sudden crises. The Ground control personnel could only watch helplessly.
There were three minutes left until Earth was struck by the Ultimate Weapon.
Rek and the Angel Sisters watched the footage of Earth captured by Pioneer’s detectors.
"Nothing is happening on Earth. The danger you mentioned, Rek, doesn't exist at all. From now on during this journey, you will follow my orders," sister Makshin said as she stood in front of Rek, speaking arrogantly.
"Go take a good look at the footage of Earth captured by Pioneer! I feel that a crisis is about to erupt! My sense of impending danger is growing stronger," Rek confidently replied.
After all, in Rek's mind, the countdown for the mission of the Ultimate Weapon to destroy Earth was still ticking down relentlessly.
