At that moment, Shangguan Wangyu suddenly felt a sense of emotion.
"Ah, since there is Yu, why is there also Liang?"
Suddenly, the Battleship shook violently, and moments later, a subordinate came to report.
"General, there are mechs from Earth infiltrating the interior of the Battleship."
Upon hearing this, Cao Ke snapped back to reality, his brows furrowing tightly as he pondered what purpose such a futile act from Earth could possibly serve.
It was Shangguan Wangyu's words that reminded Cao Ke.
"What is Earth most proud of right now?"
Cao Ke was momentarily taken aback, unable to grasp the crux of the matter.
Shangguan Wangyu continued, "It's tradition, it's martial arts!"
Only then did Cao Ke understand that Shangguan Wangyu meant that Earth intended to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
The arrogance of the Cosmic War God appeared on his face as Cao Ke smirked slightly. "Do they think this can disrupt us? Send in the Royal Guard; I want to see if they are truly Iron Fist."
As soon as Cao Ke finished speaking, a soldier turned and left. A fully armed squad of Royal Guards then boarded the Battleship's aircraft and headed toward the location of the enemy's intrusion.
The enemies infiltrating this Battleship were those previously discussed by Xue Yi and included the Saint Envoy, members of the Religious Tribunal, and various elite from different factions.
The leader of the entire ambush team was Hayamura Shuichi, who had been with the Saint Envoy for over ten years and had now been promoted to Commander.
Years of dedicated training and countless failures had made Hayamura Shuichi appear more mature and composed than before, more seasoned than his peers.
Naturally, his martial prowess had also advanced by leaps and bounds, far surpassing his former self.
At this moment, Hayamura Shuichi was dressed in a fitted outfit that allowed him to unleash all his strength. Accompanying him were the Holy Envoy Members of the Six-Winged Four-Winged faction, as well as various elders from the Religious Tribunal.
Meanwhile, throughout the Battleship in different locations and corners, thousands of humans had safely arrived inside, embarking on their life-and-death mission.
The Battleship was enormous, especially the Flagship, comparable in size to a bustling city on Earth. Thus, these individuals were merely a drop in the ocean; without transportation, it would be difficult to reach the command center.
Fortunately, this issue had already been addressed.
Some time ago on Earth, Xue had met with Hayamura Shuichi and briefed him on this matter. They knew that someone aboard the Battleship would eventually seek them out, and when that happened, they would simply need to seize another's aircraft.
Hayamura Shuichi strolled leisurely, dispatching a Royal Guard before commandeering an aircraft and heading deeper into the ship.
It was needless to say that the most protected area was the command center.
Recalling his conversation with Xue, Hayamura Shuichi smiled faintly.
A lot had happened over the past decade; many events had unfolded during those years.
It felt good to reminisce.
Because many emotions had been set aside, only beautiful memories remained.
The first time meeting Jufeng was still filled with hostility.
Ikeda Kenji nodded at Jufeng, seemingly understanding his intent, and continued walking toward the interior of the villa. The figure behind him followed closely, but as they passed by Jufeng, a strong sense of animosity radiated from him.
The hostility was intense, naturally exuding a murderous aura.
It was only later that he learned Jufeng actually held a favorable opinion of him.
From the earlier display of combat spirit, Jufeng could sense that this young man’s fighting ability was likely on par with Utada Hikaru's. However, the two practiced entirely different martial arts, and without comparison, he could not ascertain who would ultimately prevail.
If it were up to Jufeng ’s preferences, he would certainly lean more toward this upright young man, despite the strong animosity directed at him.
The young man behind Ikeda Kenji felt the tension and once again erupted with intense fighting spirit. This time, unlike before, he did not suppress it; instead, he directed it fully at Jufeng, making his intentions unmistakable.
He was inviting him to battle—did he have the courage?
At that time, he was still so youthful, filled with courage and boldness. Looking back now, he felt quite happy about it.
In specific moments during his youth, some reckless actions were not so bad after all!
The man's fighting spirit surged like a great river, rushing forth with a torrent that swept away distant sands and drifting clouds, flowing toward the sea with an unstoppable momentum!
The fighting spirit itself was not merely for the sake of battle; the man's motivation stemmed not only from Utada Hikaru's death at Jufeng's hands. A more significant reason likely originated from the enchanting girl behind him.
Jufeng not only failed to prepare for the confrontation but surprisingly found himself laughing. Laughter and joy are not the same emotion; the former can stem from many factors, while the latter is simply about having fun.
Indeed, a man's jealousy can be quite amusing.
At that time, he was infatuated with Ikeda Masahiro. In fact, who hasn’t been infatuated with one or two people in their youth, without their own goddess or god?
Hayamura Shuichi navigated the aircraft through the Battleship with only a few learned driving skills, his technique somewhat rough.
Thinking about these things, there was not much sharpness in his thoughts; however, the resilience within him was unmistakably revealed.
To be continued.
