Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station-Chapter 489 - 165 Internal Explosion_4

The Steel Psychic, having already lost consciousness and left only with the instinct for survival, absorbed the precious metal controlled by Chen Ming into his body, just as Chen Ming had expected.

Instinctively, he completely decomposed the metal to repair the damage within his body.

As the explosion concluded, Chen Ming’s initially tense, expectant, and angry expression gradually turned calm.

"Whether you have consciousness or not, what you’re doing is courting death."

At this moment, Chen Ming had not lost control of the absorbed metal.

The body of the Steel Psychic was already under his control.

Chen Ming’s spiritual energy spread over him, encompassing his entire body.

Then, just like the three spaceships that Chen Ming had previously crushed into a ball, the Steel Psychic’s body was manipulated by Chen Ming into a metal sphere about half a meter in diameter.

Simultaneously, he cut off his ability to continue absorbing metal; as long as Chen Ming didn’t want him to, he would never be able to recover for the rest of his life.

Chen Ming, at this moment, did not kill him directly.

After all, a living psychic is worth much more than a dead one.

Moreover, Chen Ming actually had a special idea in mind, provided he could later find an Enlightenment Nerve Extractor similar to the one Dusk had.

Of course, Chen Ming only had a very superficial idea; he didn’t plan to overthink it, just to take action first.

Chen Ming maneuvered the ship to capture the metal sphere into the cargo hold of the modified Warrior.

Then he turned around, heading toward the Space Station along with the Torrential Rain.

Before the modified Warrior and the Torrential Rain moved,

Chen Ming’s five cruisers had already returned to the vicinity of the Space Station a little earlier.

Previously, just one Brilliant made the Zuo Jing fleet unable to lift their heads; two cruisers could completely suppress the Zuo Jing fleet while also having the capacity to clear out other forces.

And as soon as the five cruisers arrived, Zuo Jing’s fleet instantly fell apart.

Two Defenders were completely left behind by Chen Ming to cover for the withdrawing Eagle Level ship.

Only the Eagle Level managed to barely activate its Teleportation Engine, retreating with the remaining fleet of just over thirty ships.

It appeared that it wasn’t Zuo Jing’s people piloting; instead, it was someone from the Battle Zone, otherwise Zuo Jing’s people would have directly engaged Chen Ming rather than retreating.

Although Brilliant could trace their position after the teleportation, Chen Ming did not attempt to track them.

After all, he had more important things to deal with now, like that psychic.

Chasing down the Eagle that teleported away was a task he left to Bai Quan and the Fourteenth Legion.

The battle ended in a very short time.

When Chen Ming provided the teleportation data of the Eagle to Bai Quan, Bai Quan’s voice echoed: "It’s just... over?"

"Yeah, you should be able to see it, right?"

"Of course I can see it, that’s why I’m asking."

A slight smile appeared on Chen Ming’s face as he said, "I suppose it’s just my good luck; they underestimated my strength, and that psychic irrationally wanted to absorb my ship."

"Supportive psychics can exert power unmatched by normal psychics when they have a suitable target to support. Having your own cruiser meets this criterion." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Who would have thought that your spiritual energy could create such outrageous weapon output."

"Although your spiritual energy is somewhat countered, it doesn’t seem to be completely negated."

"Who would have thought that even when turned to dust, you could control those remnants?"

Chen Ming suddenly realized the implication in Bai Quan’s words and, with a hint of allusion, said, "Yes, who would have thought?"

Bai Quan also chuckled, steering the conversation away: "Oh, by the way, I’ve investigated and found out the identity of the other psychic."

The smile instantly vanished from Chen Ming’s face as he hurriedly asked, "Who?"

"A person named Hu Yi, also someone from your Spiritual Ability Association, though it’s a loose organization where internal conflicts are quite normal."

"What kind of psychic are they?"

"Reportedly a psychic related to temperature, that’s all I know."

"Alright, I understand, thank you."

"I didn’t do much, just helped you investigate a person. I haven’t really done anything about the promised command or anything like that."

Chen Ming understood why Bai Quan hadn’t helped with command and guidance; after all, they were already dominating the battle, and further commands would be meaningless.

Moreover, he hadn’t anticipated that his full spiritual power activation would result in such an extraordinary performance from the ship.

Of course, he couldn’t say that aloud.

Bai Quan had still organized a follow-up rescue fleet for him in unclear circumstances and had found out quickly about the presence and identity of a second psychic.

Chen Ming felt he owed a favor for the information on the escaping Eagle and had to remember Bai Quan’s help.

So he still said, "These two matters should not be considered the same, thanks are certainly due."

Bai Quan naturally didn’t refuse Chen Ming’s goodwill, saying, "So, shall we continue working happily together in the future?"

"Yes, happy cooperation."
