Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

A small sparkling light point waves eight light bands, using the powerful propulsion system from the Energy Core [Magnetic Ore] and [Life Magnetic Field], breaking through the planet's constraints and rushing towards the deep space.

The eight tentacles of the [Gem River] have almost completely lost their trace, leaving only a long blue light tail, making it disappear quickly in the dense atmosphere of Herag Star.

At this moment.

The rightful captain of the [Gem River], Olivia, Aiven, Angie, Milan, unofficial personnel Liweina, and the most environment-adaptable older sister Anita, a total of six people, were already on the bridge battle-ready.

Especially Anita among them.

Not only has she successfully gestated her own [Titled Sacred Artifact], but the Upper-Rank Sea Emperor Dragon Bloodline in her has also fully matured, making her a ferocious adult mother dragon.

Purely in terms of combat power, among all high-tier Transcendents in the Duchy, she is only slightly inferior to Aiven.

The two siblings wielding the pair of [Thunderous Dragon Roar: Sakanni] together, are a perfect match for each other. Even in an anti-magic environment, they will not be affected in the slightest.

The reason not too many people were brought this time is that in Aiven's envisaged space exploration environment, a large number of people are not much use, mainly relying on the power of the [Gem River] itself, this Legendary Battleship.

Moreover, the purpose this time is not to gain the [World's Favor], but to search for the "life" mentioned in the [Era Relic]—[Catrio's Wheel], so no students, who came along last time, were brought.

Especially since sisters Clareesa and Leonara have begun preparing their Tier 3 advancement ceremony, what they need at this moment is not adventure but immersion.

Furthermore.

Compared to last time's spur-of-the-moment leap into space, Aiven, who has already gained some understanding of the space environment and potential dangers, has done a lot of preparatory work this time.

For example, the six adventure squad members present are no longer wearing ordinary clothes but custom-made "Space Suits" by him—[Venom Armor: Space Edition].

Using "Venom" to assimilate a type of demonized beetle with strong vitality, and after Aiven's careful preparation, the final product is a pure white chitin shell covering the whole body, with a helmet.

This suit has an internal circulation "Life Support System" and a "Magnetic Field Flight System".

Though it appears slightly heavy, due to the application of [Bioenergy Conversion Switch] technology, it does not hinder their movement and provides the equivalent base output of a Tier 3 Physical Side Transcendent.

Even in the event of an unexpected and dangerous situation, forcing them to be exposed to space, they can rely on this "Space Suit" to survive for a full three days.

More preparations were made in the [Gem River] itself.

"Is this the world beyond? It's so amazing! Our world is really a sphere?"

Seeing the outer space gradually appearing before them after breaking through the ionosphere, newcomers Liweina and Anita have stars twinkling in their eyes.

Even having seen the space scenery through the [Memory Crystal], it still cannot compare to the awe of seeing it firsthand.

Moreover, for these two warriors, who grew up in a feudal era and only knew chopping, this experience of rushing into space is no less shocking than facing a god firsthand.

The others, however, did not lose their composure as they did when coming here for the first time.

Aiven, knowing the difficulties ahead, gave them no time to marvel, and nodded directly to Olivia beside him:

"Hesi, get ready."

"Understood!"

Olivia crisply responded and leaned back, her body was engulfed by the seat.

She swiftly entered the true core of this biological battleship—the independent control room where clusters of synthetic gemstones grow.

"Command! [Gem River], activate Mechanical Mind, activate weapon system, lift Power Core power lock, initialize the linker, amplify Life Magnetic Field... enter air combat mode!"

Olivia quickly switched her "Space Suit" to the dazzling [Gem Armament: Starry Dream], her graceful body in the fitted attire quickly enveloped within the semi-immersive cockpit.

The transparent nutrient liquid with cushioning functions was injected into the cockpit, completely submerging the girl from head to toe, even filling her lungs.

Simultaneously, a blue light flow emerged from the headrest, connecting to her neck.

The [Light Spirit Circuit] on her activated in sync, lighting up the golden geometric stripes on her skin surface, extending to her jade-like face.

The next second.

Olivia's starlit blue eyes suddenly dilated, and her spirit completely merged with the [Gem River].

"[Gem River] activate [Legendary Battleship Skill: Artificial Life Form]!"

Crackle...

In a burst of flickering electricity, the [Gem River], originally reaching a length of 300 meters including its tentacles, rapidly transformed.

It finally turned into a monstrous form, nearly forty meters long.

The upper body possesses graceful female characteristics, faceless, wearing only an elegant white mask, the skin surface shimmering with a porcelain-like white luster, and the arms are crescent-shaped blades.

The lower body comprises eight sturdy, writhing tentacles.

Meanwhile.

Aiven and Anita on the bridge respectively placed their hands on the blue crystals emerging from the console before them.

"Linker activated!"

Through this unique device modified by Aiven, the overwhelming [Life Magnetic Field] within one [Divine Creature] and one adult dragon is now also linked with the [Gem River].

This is a force almost sufficient to crush any creature below a demigod, well, except for the titanic "King of Sea Monsters", Kraken.

Clap——!

An electric light explosion burst out.

The [Gem River] surrounded by invisible [Electromagnetic Restraint Armor], exploded into a sharp and bright electric ring, rising above its head, forming a dazzling Angel Halo.

Whizz!

This absolute power propelled it forward at a speed far exceeding 7.9 kilometers per second.

Right in front of the [Gem River].

Upon sensing the intruder's presence, green dots lit up one after another.

These were the eyes of the "Purifiers," like light spots within their rubber suits filled with nuclear waste.

One, two... ten... a thousand... countless "Purifiers" seemed to awaken slowly from the darkness.

Having rehearsed the tactics hundreds of times, there was hardly any hesitation.

Fully taken over by Olivia, the [Gem River] swung its eight tentacles, instantly firing eight blue-white "little suns."

[Extraordinary Armament: Plasma Cannon]

In the past, the [Gem River]'s long-range attacks were limited to conventional kinetic weapons like the [Electromagnetic Cannon], with few alternatives.

But now, with the advent of the metallic hydrogen magnetic cage, everything has changed completely.

Bang—!

Like dazzling fireworks, whether it was the "Purifiers" bodies or [Mental Barrier], upon contact with the million-degree high-temperature plasma, they instantly evaporated into ash.

The [Gem River] took advantage to rush through the opened gap.

At the same time, a crimson eye suddenly opened in the center of its face and on each shoulder.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!...

Blinding red beams fired synchronously, blasting the attacking "Purifiers" one by one!

The laser weapon equipped on the [Gem River]—[Ruby Laser Cannon: Silent Hunter].

Laser weaponry generally manifests its destructive power in two aspects: perforation (thermal damage) and spallation (mechanical damage).

"Perforation" refers to the high power density laser beam rapidly melting and evaporating the target's surface material, which then ejects outward quickly. The resultant recoil forms a shockwave that perforates the target.

"Spallation" refers to the absorption of laser energy by the target surface causing the internal atoms to ionize, forming a plasma cloud.

The plasma cloud expands outward, forming a stress wave that propagates deeper. The reflection of the stress wave causes the target to tear apart, resulting in spallation damage.

Bang! Bang!...

The suits filled with nuclear waste sequentially vaporized and exploded, much smoother than the last visit, like unparalleled mowing.

Despite the countless "Purifiers" scattered across the space, their originally ear-piercing psychic screeching started to change into anguish.

The [Gem River] fought its way over hundreds of kilometers, unsure of how many "Purifiers" it had slain.

Seeing the endless degrading biological weapons, Olivia raised her eyebrows.

"Sister, Aiven, activate the [Titled Sacred Artifact]."

"Understood!"

Then.

Boom—!

The eight tentacles danced before its body, forming radiant wheels, two of which had already manifested as [Thunderous Dragon Roar: Sakanni].

[Electromagnetic Gun Sword: Eight Sword Style!]

Absolute: Resonance/Destruction.

The two sabers can resonate with the target's inherent frequency, having tremendous destructive power on material.

Whiz!

A few seconds later.

The sharp sword storm enveloped the [Gem River], smashing the stunned "Purifier" army and dashed into the far depths of space.

Arriving here, space becomes a vacuum, with even the few gas molecules essential for the "Purifiers" to live and multiply disappearing, naturally preventing them from following.

Ample preparations ensured the "breakout plan" proceeded without any surprises.

"I can feel it."

Aiven stood up solemnly looking towards the vast cosmic starlit sky.

He could distinctly feel a dual signal of electromagnetic waves and mental layer—like a beacon echoing eternally through the universe.

Expected yet surprising.

Under the gaze of the squad members, Aiven slowly turned his sight to the nearest celestial body.

"Is it the Moon?!"

Just a brief glance told Aiven's [Eye of Profound Wisdom] that the current distance between the Moon and Herag Star was 386,972 kilometers.

The [Gem River] doesn't need to fly too fast; by maintaining the first cosmic velocity of 7.9 kilometers per second, it would only take 13 hours to reach.

"Hesi, let's depart! This time, we really should pay a visit to the 'Moon God'."
