In the instant the gap appeared, the "Meteor" spaceship transformed once more, morphing into a shape reminiscent of an octopus. Suddenly, the creature's abdomen opened up to reveal a dark hole, from which a shadow swiftly emerged.
In that fleeting moment, the shadow darted into the ten-meter-wide opening like an Arrow of Justice. It shot toward the Command Hall, evading various automated weapons attempting to intercept it. Remarkably, this shadow moved as if it were an actual shadow itself, rendering those weapons utterly ineffective.
In the blink of an eye, the shadow broke through layer upon layer of defenses and entered a narrow Passageway. Those familiar with the High Mountain Class amphibious Battleship would recognize this as a secret passage not far from the Command Hall.
...
"The speed is at least at the level of fifth-tier martial arts, and no one I know can match such unpredictable movement!" Qin Guan had arrived at the Command Hall's monitoring station, his brow furrowed as he observed the constantly shifting shadow. For someone skilled in speed like him, this level of velocity stirred unease within him.
Ye Yu studied the data on the screen, feeling a growing sense of anxiety. This individual was either a martial arts master or an Ability User—most likely a high-level Ability User. Ye Yu was aware of his own capabilities; facing someone of this caliber, he would be fortunate to escape with his life.
"Prepare for battle!" Ye Yu flexed his joints, determination gleaming in his eyes. Over the years, he had endured the pressure of death and was not about to fear its arrival now. If it came down to it, he would fight fiercely!
At that moment, Hulk donned a mechanical battle suit designed to enhance combat effectiveness. Although it lacked some of the imposing metallic weight of larger mechs, Hulk's massive frame in this suit exuded an overwhelming sense of power.
"Hulk, notify Li Zhe to prepare for interception. Even if they kill me, they won't escape this star region easily!" Ye Yu did not call for Li Zhe's rescue; he ordered everyone else on board to remain still. He knew that while these individuals had decent combat abilities, they were still just ordinary people. Against an assassin of this level, Shadow Team members would not be able to leverage their strengths in coordinated combat.
Just then, a violent crash echoed from the entrance of the Command Hall, reverberating like war drums against the hearts of those inside.
"What immense power! This Alloy defense door made from R-Class Metal has been deformed by that impact!" Long Ruofei heard the sound and glanced at the Command Hall's door, her heart shaken.
Long Ruofei raised her slender eyebrows slightly, her expression growing serious. Although she belonged to the Dragon Family, it was clear that others did not regard this fact with any significance. This indicated that their opponent's assassin level was undoubtedly high—possibly even among those super experts who had been absent from rankings for many years!
Thinking of this, Long Ruofei let out a heavy sigh. She knew that in this world, opportunities for these people to strike were few and far between, but when they did, it would undoubtedly be a lethal blow. Initially, she had intended to intimidate the assassins, but now it seemed she might also find herself in peril.
"Boom—" A loud crashing sound echoed again in the Command Hall, and this time, the large door had already protruded outward with a human-shaped pattern resembling a relief.
"Captain, just blast it with the Laser Cannon! I refuse to believe this person is strong enough to withstand a direct hit from the Laser Cannon!" Hulk said impatiently, taking a few steps toward the door and addressing Ye Yu.
Ye Yu nodded, the Phantom Blade in his hand lightly shimmering with light, exuding a terrifying aura. At this moment, the only source of security for Ye Yu was the Phantom Blade crafted for him by Jin Shan, an almost indestructible weapon.
Upon hearing Ye Yu's command, Hulk's massive frame moved like a mountain as he thundered toward the door. He then raised his mechanical arm and aimed it at the entrance.
A sudden sound of energy charging filled the spacious hall as Hulk's mechanical arm lit up with a crimson beam. Almost instantly, waves of energy surged between his arm and the cannon.
The greatest advantage of this Battle Mech's Laser Cannon was its ability to activate instantly. Compared to other Laser Cannons of the same level, its lethality was uncompromised.
"Whoosh—" A Crimson Light Beam shot from Hulk's hand, and at that moment, a dark hole the size of an infant's arm appeared on the door! In that instant, the continuous banging against the door ceased.
Hulk felt a surge of joy and unhesitatingly activated another Laser Cannon on his other arm, aiming at the same spot to fire again. The crimson Laser Beam unleashed a terrifying wave of energy, instantly burning another dark hole into the door. However, shortly after, his Laser Cannon's energy gauge dropped to zero. The door made of R-Class Metal required maximum energy settings from the mechanical armor's Laser Cannon to breach.
"Wait, why can't I sense their presence!" Ye Yu's Mental Power spread out fully; just moments ago, he could distinctly feel an obscure aura nearby. Yet after Hulk's two consecutive attacks, that aura had vanished without a trace!
Suddenly, Long Ruofei swayed and moved beside Ye Yu, her expression serious as she said, "This person is very powerful; the four of us won't be able to stop them!"
Ye Yu's eyelids twitched; he knew Long Ruofei spoke the truth. Ever since he mastered Mental Power, he had never failed to detect an enemy approaching until now—he hadn’t sensed any trace of their presence at all.
"Hulk, come back!" Ye Yu shouted as he watched Hulk attempt to approach the door. Being part of the Shadow Team, Hulk was not just a brute with raw strength; he understood that the enemy had vanished without a trace, and he knew he couldn't act recklessly.
"Whoosh—" A series of sounds sliced through the air, filling the hall with a chilling aura that instantly enveloped the entire Command Hall.
Everyone felt a sudden shock; just the pressure of that presence was overwhelming. How terrifying must the true strength of their opponent be?
"He’s here!" Qin Guan's eyes seemed to shine at that moment as he continuously observed his surroundings, though the sweat at his temples betrayed his forced calmness.
Ye Yu furrowed his brow, unleashing his Mental Power without reservation, which subtly formed an invisible energy field around him.
