Chapter 3389: The Escape
“Stop. Stop stop stop. If you keep analyzing, we might as well surrender right now!”
Theresa was having a headache. The jade did not seem reliable at all.
The artificial intelligence was indeed bad. It was not as righteous and trustworthy as the Fist King.
“Damn it. What is the so-called civilization of magic exactly? What happened after you arrived in the Erald Continent that led to such a ss?”
“Tell
the truth,” Theresa mumbled. “Why did part of the crew mbers of Jade stay in the Blood Demon Sector and turn into devils, while the rest of the crew mbers left the starship and went to the Erald Continent to turn into human beings? Unless I get all the information, I don’t know whether or not I should unlock the damn genes of the witch!”
“What—what are you talking about?”
Princess Sumr could not help it any longer. She looked at Jade with tears in her eyes. “Can I call you… Sister Jade? Please tell
everything from the beginning to the end. If there is a way that we can stop Black Jack and bring hope to the Erald Continent, I’m willing to fight even if the odds are only one in a billion!”
Theresa’s eyelashes shivered slightly.
“Fight for the one billionth chance” was what Master Yao often said.
If only Master Yao were here.
Theresa sighed in her heart again. Such a complicated situation was too much for her to handle alone!
The jade and the cabin walls were glittering at the sa ti. Li Yao calculated for a mont and ca to the conclusion that Black Jack could not break in yet.
“Retrieve the captain log and analyze it.
Jade told him everything that had happened in the past ten thousand years.
Colorful stripes bead out of his silver eyes and turned the central area of the cockpit into a mysterious, brilliant sea of stars that seed to be pouring over their heads. The entire universe unfolded before their eyes.
It was alright for Theresa, but it was the first ti for Princess Sumr to see such a magnificent scene. She covered her mouth in disbelief, but she could not help but exclaim.
Shua!
A few ripples suddenly spread out in the center of the splendid sea of stars. Then, a gargantuan, ragged starship jumped out.
It could be seen that, because of the heavy damage to the starship, its shell and internal support structure were both on the verge of destruction. It could not resist the surging tides in the four-dinsional space. The mont it jumped out, one of its thrusters, together with a lot of cabins, was torn apart. Together with the crew mbers inside, the starship turned into scattered pieces and slowly dispersed into cold dust.
“Under the command of Captain Berger, the seventy-ninth captain of Jade, we finally got rid of the hunting of the flood tide for now. But the price we paid was to crash into the raging tides in the four-dinsional space. We accelerated and bounced with the help of the four-dinsional storms countless tis. In the end, we were teleported to a mysterious universe that had never been seen before.
Jade said casually, “Erald lost 30% of its materials, 35% of its crew, and 70% of its energy. It almost turned into a giant iron coffin floating in the endless ocean of death. Even Captain Berger, whom we respected most, was burnt to the ground in the cockpit because he calculated the route and the thods to make use of the storm during the four-dinsional storm.
“Despite the heavy losses, the survivors were still overjoyed because we had escaped the scourge of the flood. The fire of freedom was still burning.
“Therefore, we call the ti point the ‘New Era’. It represents the new beginning of our civilization.
Theresa thought that it was exactly what she had experienced in the first test of the crimson palace.
The experts of the Prival Clan were truly terrifying beyond description. They could still think and calculate when they were passing through the four-dinsional space and their flesh and blood were all broken into pieces. There was no telling how they trained themselves.
Princess Sumr still did not understand what a flood was.
But she finally understood that it was probably a very terrifying and powerful enemy, and the jade… or perhaps, her ancestors had fled to the Erald Continent to avoid their natural enemies.
The picture blinked. All the stars changed their direction and form. They appeared in the most dangerous place in the universe. The stars were emitting furious redness and congregated into a magnificent stream of stars that seed to be magma. They lunged at Jade—or rather, Jade lunged at the scorching stream of stars.
“In Year 2493 of the New Era, Captain Wang Yao commanded Jade. At that ti, we had been wandering in the universe where resources were scarce for thousands of years. Since the super fusion collection facilities on the starship were seriously damaged in the fierce battles and escapes two thousand years ago, we could not make use of the hydrogen and helium that most planets and stars had. Therefore, we could not repair ourselves and refill our energy quickly.
Jade said, “Without enough materials and energy, we cannot repair the super fusion collection facilities. Without the super mutation collection facilities, we cannot collect the most abundant materials. We are trapped in an endless loop.
“Over the past two thousand years, most of the surviving crew mbers have entered the hibernation state. However, due to insufficient energy and various faults, 20% of the survivors are still dying one after another, and the nutrition liquids and hibernation liquids that keep the living alive are running out.
“In order to get the energy to repair the super fusion collection facilities, Captain Wang Yao commanded Jade to approach the most dangerous place in the universe where the high-energy rays are concentrated.
Theresa and Princess Sumr saw clearly that the magma-like river of stars was releasing countless tentacles of flas toward Jade.
Jade was as large as a planet, but under the command of Captain Wang Yao, it was as agile as a rowing boat. It dashed left and right on the tentacles and seized the opportunity to absorb the strength of the stars.
This was supposed to be a very successful energy replenishnt operation.
However, the damage to Jade was too severe for the fragile structure of the starship to support the captain’s soul-stirring dodging movents. The price of the successful energy replenishnt was the expense of the other propeller, as well as the loss of more than 5% of the materials and crew mbers of the starship. They were torn apart and thrown away, falling into the burning stream of flas forever.
“The shining of free will cos with a price.
“It’s a pity that not everyone is willing to die for free will,” Jade said casually.
The picture blinked and changed again. This ti, the entire universe was dimd. Jade, which was passing through it, was rusted and riddled with holes, too. It seed to be garbage that had been pieced together after being shattered.
