but wait!

Surprising everyone, the blob coalesced into a 4 eyed, winged humanoid robot with 2 arms and 2 legs!

In the next second, the robot leaped through at least about 100 giant wars.h.i.+ps, and in his trail was a series of explosions.

"No, it didn’t warp. It’s a wormhole technology, far lesser than s.p.a.ce warp, not even to the level of s.p.a.ce gate…"

Bo Li offered in a whisper, reading the question on Yao Yuan’s face.

Yao Yuan nodded in thanks.

What happened next could only be described as a ma.s.sacre!

A total ma.s.sacre!

The robot evaded deftly around all the weapons leveled at it. The robots, including those spidery robots that were such a headache for Yao Yuan, turned against their creators the moment they were within 5 kilometers of the robot.

The electromagnetic s.h.i.+eld was useless against the robot; it phased through it like it was nothing. Without even revealing its weapons, it basically shot through the lines of wars.h.i.+ps like they were marks at target practice, which, in a way, they were. In just 50 seconds, other than the main battles.h.i.+p, everything else floated about in shambles!

Then the robot flew into the battles.h.i.+p and exited several seconds later. Behind him was a trail of aliens.

The alien looked like an amalgamation between sh.e.l.lfish and human. They had basic features like mouths and eyes, but their eyes were as bulgy as a fly’s and were 5 times the size of humans’. Half of their bodies were occupied by an overgrown brain, and around their bodies was a sh.e.l.l-like exoskeleton. Other than the pair of hands and legs, their upper body also showed an extension of multiple tentacles.

The aliens appeared to be la.s.soed by an invisible rope, and this rope also helped protect them from direct exposure to vacuum s.p.a.ce. Tied by the la.s.so, the aliens formed a long string as they were swallowed by the silver s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. The whole eerie procession took about half an hour to complete.

"There are at least 200,000,000 of them… How could they possibly fit in that s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p? A s.p.a.ce folding technology?" Bo Li asked.

No one answered. They were still stunned by what they had just witnessed. This was an alien fleet that could demolish Earth in a day, but they had just been destroyed by a robot blob… It was… After the trail of aliens were completely consumed by the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, the robot showed itself again. Melting into a silvery band, it sailed around the damaged fleet in an incredible speed and brought out another trail of aliens, but this time, the aliens were all dead. This continued for another stretch of time until it appeared once more. It lifted a finger and aimed it at the alien battles.h.i.+p. Several seconds later, a ray of silvery light shot towards it.

Even though the silvery, ionic ray was extremely thin, the moment it hit the battles.h.i.+p, the s.h.i.+p shattered into pieces, the bigger pieces among them disintegrating into nothingness… Shattering was not the perfect description because it was more like the ray made its center disappear, and without the central anchor, everything else drifted away on their own.

After completing its task, the robot returned to the silver s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. Then, a wormhole appeared to swallow the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p… The video ended to a room of silence. Everyone held different expressions, but be it shock, disappointment or alarm, there was an undercurrent of fear.

"Is that the end?" Yao Yuan rubbed his eyes before standing up to ask the technician.

After checking, the technician replied, "That’s the end of the reel."

Yao Yuan nodded before turning around to face the room. "This video will be accepted as one of the Hope’s grade 1 cla.s.sified subjects. I’m sure everyone is familiar with this clauses, so I won’t repeat them here. I only have one question to ask…

"Would the Hope have enough time to warp away if we were attacked by this liquid s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p?"

Yao Yuan sat down to wait patiently as the scientists started their calculations. After some time, a researcher stood up. "I’m sorry, Captain, but the time taken by the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p to fully appear from the wormhole was less than 5 seconds. If the creator’s particles device is not activated within these 5 seconds, we’ll be taken down by long-ranged artillery in less than 2 seconds. With the device activated, there would be an interval of about 10 seconds before the robot is deployed, but since the Hope is only a singular s.h.i.+p, we would be an obvious target, so there wouldn’t even be time for us to warp…"

"Is that so? We wouldn’t even be able to run?"

Yao Yuan collected himself and ordered, "I request all units to return to the Hope. The junkyard exploration operation will be ending in the next 3 days…

" In 3 days, the Hope will initiate s.p.a.ce warp!"
