"Oh no, it's the fleet of the Godslayer Society!" Fo You suddenly took out a silver monocular that Xia Fan had never seen before from the Space Ring and looked into the distance through the porthole. Then, he shouted in a hoarse voice.
The Godslayer Society …
When Xia Fan heard these three words, his body could not help but shudder violently.
The old gods were dead, and the new gods would rise. This was the strange slogan of the Godslayer Society.
The mysterious Godslayer Society was composed of superpower warriors who had rebelled from the three major alliances. All of them had received good elite education, and many of them had held important positions in the three major alliances.
The fleet of the Godslayer Society was not like the pirates and warlords of the outer region. Observing the formation of this fleet, one could clearly feel the horror of the Godslayer Society.
Three main battleships were in the center, and six cruisers were around the main battleships, spreading out in a fan shape. The rest of the small auxiliary battleships charged on both sides, quickly approaching Xia Fan's Calamity.
It was just to deal with a frigate, but this fleet was still in a standard attack formation. This showed that the fleet was well-trained and had its own way of dealing with various battlefield situations.
If it was the fleet of indigenous pirates or warlords, they would have already rushed up in a mess.
Judging from the composition of the fleet, in addition to the nine powerful battleships, they carried as many as 23 auxiliary small battleships.
There was the Ariat-type high-speed interceptor frigate, the Firefox-type assault frigate, the Whale-shark interceptor destroyer, the Silver-type electronic warfare destroyer, the Life-type logistics support destroyer, the NightMoon-type stealth bombing ship …
What a complete fleet. Even the elite fleets of the three major alliances in the region would not have a more fully equipped ship model than the fleet of the Godslayer Society, right?
There was no doubt that this was not a group of stragglers, but a well-trained regular army!
The Godslayer Society had secretly built such a powerful fleet in the outer region? These damn perverts who liked to dig up the corpses of ancient people. What were they trying to do!?
Just by seeing the formation and the composition of the fleet on the radar scanner, Xia Fan immediately understood that he had encountered a godlike opponent. This time, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape.
Although the Calamity was an elite frigate and was equipped with a powerful mechanical core, it was impossible for it to block the attack of such an integrated fleet!
At the same time, a huge mystery arose in Xia Fan's heart. Why would the fleet of the Godslayer Society appear here?
Was this a chance encounter, or were they here for him?
If they were coming for him, then what was the reason?
Was it because they were targeting Fo You?
Little Master's family was famous in Cangyue, but Buddha You hadn't revealed his identity this time.
Moreover, many people in Cangyue knew the empress dowager and the empress dowager, but only a handful of people really knew Fo You. Fo You was lazy by nature and had wasted many years in the Blue Boil Point, so there was very little information and rumors about him.
Back at the Blue Boiling Point, the assassins from the God Slaying Society recognized Fo You because he transformed into the Golden Light War Buddha. Before that, the assassins from the God Slaying Society didn't recognize him at all. From this, it could be seen that the God Slaying Society didn't have any information about Fo You.
Based on this deduction, the God-Slaying Society should not be here for Buddha You.
But if they didn't come for the Buddha, why would they appear here? And they even put on such a powerful formation?
In a flash, Xia Fan recalled the destruction of the Jiang Clan's merchant house at Fire Beacon City three days ago.
In one night, the most powerful merchant house in the Scorching Star Region was completely razed to the ground.
The person who made such a big move definitely had extraordinary power.
Could it be that the Jiang Clan's merchant house was destroyed by the God-Slaying Society?
And he just happened to get a peerless treasure from the God-Slaying Society, the Wine of Immortality brewed with the blood of a viper.
The God-Slaying Society destroyed the Jiang Clan's merchant house and then appeared here. It was very likely that they were here for the Wine of Immortality!
Xia Fan's brain was working fast. Although he knew why he was surrounded, he couldn't find a way to escape quickly.
Calamity was floating in space at zero speed, and there was strong electromagnetic interference around it, so Xia Fan couldn't use emergency escape methods such as a random space jump.
The situation couldn't get any worse. He couldn't beat them, and he didn't even have a way to escape. Was he going to be captured by the enemy from the God-Slaying Society?
* Click! *
Xia Fan pushed the speed lever to the limit, and a dazzling blue flame shot out from the back of Calamity. The ship began to accelerate crazily.
However, Xia Fan knew very well that just accelerating was not enough.
A fully equipped fleet could completely control a large area of space. Now, no matter which direction he fled in, he would be blocked by the enemy's interceptors and ships.
Just from the name, one could tell that interceptors and ships were originally built to intercept the enemy. They would definitely open a space jump blocking field to prevent Calamity from entering the wormhole.
There was no time. He had to make a decision immediately. It was either a life-and-death struggle, or he could only choose to be captured.
The anti-reconnaissance system emitted a fierce chirp because the enemy was locking on to him.
Before all warships opened fire, they needed to use the fire-control radar to lock on to the enemy ship. Otherwise, even if they opened fire, they wouldn't be able to hit the target.
Calamity was very small. It was like shooting. It was easy to aim at a tall building, but it would take a lot more time to aim at a small sparrow.
So now, Calamity had not been completely locked on to, but there was not much time left for Xia Fan. He only had a few seconds left.
Once he was locked on, the battleships and cruisers' ultra-long-range warp disruptors and stagnation entanglement beams would completely control Xia Fan. Then, the small auxiliary warships would take the opportunity to approach and take down Calamity in one fell swoop!
Xia Fan saw Fu You from the corner of his eye, and there was a bitter smile on his face.
It was conceivable that Little Master could not fall into the hands of the enemy. Otherwise, the people from the God-slaying Society would use him as a hostage to threaten Fu You's father and grandfather.
To avoid such a terrible situation, Fu You would most likely choose to commit suicide!
Oh my god!
Suicide …
How could Xia Fan watch as his best friend died in front of him?
What kind of crisis could be worse than this moment?!
There was no other choice …
Perhaps the never-giving spirit of Heaven's Wings hidden in his genes had suddenly erupted.
Xia Fan turned the steering rudder violently, causing Calamity's bow to face the terrible circular cosmic storm.
The next moment, Xia Fan pressed the huge red button on the console and turned on the overload system.
Overload was the exclusive ability of high-level elite warships.
If the engine moved at 70% of the load, it was called cruising. If it moved at 100% of the load, it was called full speed. If the load exceeded 100%, it was called overload.
In the blink of an eye, the maximum power on the screen crossed the red line of 100% and rose rapidly like a rocket!
110%!
120%!
130%!
140%!
150%!
The power increased rapidly, and in just 2.7 seconds, it reached an astonishing 200%!
At this time, if Xia Fan went down to the engine compartment, he would hear the engine roaring wildly, and the metal structure was red because of the blazing heat. This was the result of overload. The engine was running at a speed beyond its limit, regardless of its lifespan.
From the propellers at the stern of Calamity, a nearly hysterical blue light suddenly sprayed out. The propulsion force doubled, causing Calamity's hull to shake and its speed to increase rapidly!
Fu You glanced at the terrible cosmic storm at the bow of the ship and did not speak. He just sighed slightly.
He knew what Xia Fan was doing.
Before this, Xia Fan had explained to himself, who was not familiar with machinery, that if he wanted to enter the cosmic storm, he would not be able to dive head-on like diving. That would cause him to collide head-on with the powerful wind wall.
The only way was to accelerate in a circle, using the propulsion force of the storm itself to push the speed to the limit, and then plunge in diagonally.
Xia Fan also said that it was extremely risky for Calamity to enter the cosmic storm. Although the ship was made of expensive Kro alloy and had a mechanical core, it was not a warship specially designed to break into cosmic storms.
To enter such a powerful cosmic storm, a specially designed ship was needed.
The armor layer of the special ship would be redesigned to be several times thicker than ordinary warships, and the portholes would be very small to prevent the tempered glass from shattering due to impact.
In short, the ship specially designed to enter the cosmic storm needed to remove all unnecessary auxiliary systems such as weapons, fire control, and so on. It would be safer to strengthen the defense and power to the limit.
But Calamity was a warship, and its main mission was to fight, not to break into some cosmic storm.
What Xia Fan did now was undoubtedly gambling with his life.
But other than supporting Xia Fan, Fo You had no other choice. He could not let himself be captured by the Godslayer Society, and neither could Xia Fan. Even if he was not the Little Buddha of the Deity Buddha Clan, as an investigator of the Special Task Force, once captured by the Godslayer Society, he and Xia Fan would face an extremely terrible fate.
Just a few seconds after Xia Fan piloted Calamity into the cosmic storm, the first Stagnation Entanglement Beam accurately hit the hull of Calamity. The powerful white beam of light, like glue, caught Calamity.
The Stagnation Entanglement Beam was fired by a battleship. Because of the distance, only the high-power entanglement machine installed on the giant battleship could catch Calamity. As for the small ships, their effective range of entanglement machines was relatively short, and they had not yet entered the attack range.
However, the Stagnation Entanglement Beam came a little too late.
At this time, Calamity had entered the outer edge of the cosmic storm. The cosmic storm was like a circular top, spinning rapidly, and the force of this rotation would also affect Calamity.
This strangely shaped golden warship did not slow down because it was caught by the Stagnation Entanglement Beam. Instead, it became faster and faster.
Now, Calamity's speed had not only exceeded its own limit, but also exceeded the theoretical maximum speed of a warship.
Calamity's propulsion force was no longer the engine, but the centrifugal force of the cosmic storm's rotation. The power of the cosmic storm was far beyond that of any engine in the world.
Bang, bang, bang ~
The second, third, and fourth Stagnation Entanglement Beam shot out one after another.
But Calamity's speed did not decrease. It had officially entered the outer layer of the storm and rotated centrifugally.
If they opened fire at this time, the Godslayer Society's fleet still had a chance to hit Calamity, but for some reason, they did not choose to open fire.
It seemed that they wanted to capture Calamity alive rather than destroy it.
The enemy's hesitation created the last chance for Xia Fan.
There was no time. A small ship like Calamity could not stay in the storm, or it would risk being torn apart.
It was impossible to leave the storm. Xia Fan's only choice now was to pull out a diagonal line and plunge in!
Or break through the wind wall and successfully enter the center of the storm.
The circular cosmic storm was different in that its outer wind wall was extremely violent, but because of its rotation, the center was calm. Once they reached it, Xia Fan and Fo You still had a chance to survive.
Or they would die. The ship would be destroyed, and there would be no hope of redemption!
Xia Fan adjusted the rudder to the angle of impact, and then grabbed the rudder with both hands. His eyes began to turn bloodshot. At this moment, he did not have any thoughts, and the cruel reality made him unable to think more.
The hull shook to an extreme extent. Even Fo You grabbed the alloy auxiliary handle in front of the porthole to prevent his body from shaking with the vibration.
The energy shield's index was dropping rapidly, and the impact was weakening the shield.
Seventy percent …
Sixty percent …
After only a few seconds, the shield completely failed. A muffled sound came from the mechanical compartment at the bottom. It was the sound of the shield transmitter burning down.
But neither Xia Fan nor Fo You paid attention to this sound. At this point, they no longer cared whether the machine was damaged or not. The only question was whether they could continue to live.
The warship had three major defense systems: the outer energy protection, the middle armor protection, and the final structural protection.
Once the shield failed, the cosmic storm began to attack the armor.
From the porthole, it could be clearly seen that the golden Kro alloy armor was rapidly turning red and even falling off.
It didn't take long for many holes to appear on the golden armor, and armor fragments continued to fly toward the back of Calamity.
In the command cabin where Xia Fan and Fo You were, the temperature had begun to rise. No matter how hard the temperature control system tried, it could not lower the temperature. Their foreheads, palms, and backs were quickly covered in beads of sweat.
The data showed that the armor layer was only left with 47% of its normal state.
Once the armor layer was destroyed, all that was left was the structure.
If the structure was destroyed again, the warship would disintegrate, and Xia Fan and Fo You would turn into dust in the universe.
Surrounded by the colorful storm, Xia Fan and Fo You could no longer see the outer space. The people from the God-Slaying Society must have been dumbfounded by the fact that Xia Fan's small boat had charged into the space storm at the last moment.
After all, not everyone had such courage. Between surrendering and suicide, most people would choose to surrender. After all, they could live a little longer.
Fo You noticed Xia Fan's hands.
His hands were as steady as a machine, controlling Calamity to always maintain a perfect angle as it plunged into the center of the cosmic storm.
If the angle was too large, the impact would tear the warship apart.
If the angle was too small, Calamity would not be able to break through in the shortest time possible and would still be destroyed.
Fo You suddenly laughed. No matter what the result was, he would not blame Xia Fan because he knew that this guy, who was as young as him, had done his best.
Suddenly …
Fu You's mind was running wild. He wondered if his father and grandfather would be heartbroken when they learned of his death. After all, his elder brother had left home long ago, and his life and death were unknown. If he died now, the dignified Deity and Buddha Clan would have no descendants.
At this moment, he heard a bang, and then the trembling of the hull began to decrease rapidly, and the surrounding light began to fade.
Could it be that he had succeeded?
With his courage and skills, Xia Fan brought Calamity into the center of the cosmic storm!?
Fo You looked at Xia Fan in surprise, only to see him wiping the sweat on his forehead with his right hand. His face showed an expression of joy after surviving a disaster.
Seeing Fo You staring at him, the corners of Xia Fan's mouth rose, revealing a sunny smile, and said, "That was close, only 13% of the armor layer is left."
Fo You was stunned and opened his mouth wide.
Xia Fan continued, "I really want to kiss the engineers of the Royal Shipyard now. They piled expensive high-grade metals on Calamity at all costs. Now it seems that it was a really wise decision."
Hearing this, Fo You rushed up, hugged Xia Fan, and lifted him high!
"Success! You actually succeeded! You're really something! "
The happiness of surviving a disaster made Fo You's blood boil.
At this moment, when Calamity finally got rid of the wind wall and plunged into the inner space of the storm, Fo You suddenly saw Xia Fan's eyes full of doubt as he looked into the distance.
He raised his right hand, gently pointed forward, and said with a bright light in his eyes, "Look!"
