"Shanuya!"
Tears in his eyes, Pep couldn't help but touch it. However, tiny ripples were spreading out on the 3D light beam, ripping the enormous body of the Void Hunter into mottled images.
It was exactly the same for the Void Hunter in reality.
With its body of flesh and blood that was as enormous as a mountain, it stood between human beings and the space ripples, which meant that it took most of the destructive force from the "air quake".
Despite the Void Hunter's extraordinary talents and keen senses about space, allowing it to adjust the frequency of the shivering of its cells all the time so that it could adapt to all kinds of twisted space, the damage of the "air quake" was still far beyond the limits of its endurance. In only a few minutes, its enormous body was falling apart at a visible speed, spurting out thick body fluids that looked like the crimson blood of human beings.
Under Shanuya's protection, the panicked starships of human beings accelerated their escape.
However, at such a speed, it was impossible for them to get away from the red and blue swirls.
Shanuya's skin couldn't have been redder than ever, like a furiously burning fire in the universe.
The flames even burned the space around it, causing dazzling ripples to appear, giving this seemingly ugly giant beast a pair of resplendent and beautiful wings.
Pep bulged his eyes and immediately realized what Shanuya was trying to do.
He was trying to enter the space jump state and take all human beings through the four-dimensional space to escape from the "air quake".
That was an extremely dangerous behavior!
Despite the stability of space and the tranquility of the environment, a space jump was still somewhat dangerous, not to mention the attack of an "air quake". When the space collapsed, invisible space gaps were reaping all the lives and non-lives around like scythes.
Under such circumstances, a space jump was like rushing out of a broken viaduct in a city in an earthquake.
But they had no other choice. It was the only way of escape.
The surviving human starships realized Shanuya's purpose, too. Like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, they tried their best to rush to Shanuya's side, trying to hide among the tentacles of the Void Hunter.
Everything seemed to have made everybody forget the purpose of the trip tacitly. They forgot that they had come to the dangerous space zone to kill the "devil" that was Shanuya in the first place.
"…"
Pep stared at the starships that were fleeing like rats, not knowing what to say.
For a moment, she was even tempted to spit at the starships, the commander, her father, and her brother.
Those shameless guys were not qualified to receive Shanuya's protection. They were not qualified to take advantage of Shanuya's innocence and kindness. They were even willing to sacrifice Shanuya's life!
Pep even hoped that Shanuya would just ignore them and everybody else and focus on his own escape. With the talents of the Void Hunter, if he abandoned all human beings, there should be a high chance that he could escape from the "air quake", right?
As for them … Pep would rather die than face Shanuya again with such a despicable appearance!
Shanuya, Shanuya's, Shanuya's, Shanuya's, Shanuya's
Shanuya, Shanuya, Shanuya ''s, Shanuya''s's,'s, Shanuya,'s, ''s's.. as, Shanuya.
. Shanuya '' '''s's's't.
It seemed to be burning its entire life just for a short and urgent space jump.
Pep could even see that his countless tentacles were withering instantly, like vines that had been burnt by fire. They lost all their functions and turned into scattered ashes.
Only such a sacrifice could open a way of escape.
In front of Pep's eyes, the 3D light beam suddenly died out.
No. It did not die out. Instead, it was burnt into a dazzling whiteness by the most intense light. Even the room where Pep was in was turned white.
Pep felt that she had been stretched to hundreds of kilometers long and fell into a helical tunnel like a long, narrow line.
Her body and even her soul became transparent. The walls and decks between her and Shanuya were all melted. She felt that she could touch Shanuya and communicate with him telepathically if she extended her hand.
"Shanuya! Shanuya! "
The girl couldn't help but shout, "Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Let's go. After the space jump is over, we'll leave this place immediately. Stay away from all human beings and go to the other side of the sea of stars where there are no human beings. Don't ever come back! "
It was a pity that Shanuya had devoted all its strength to the space jump. It also had to protect the vulnerable starships of human beings and resist the aftermath of the 'air shock'. Therefore, it did not notice Pep's shout at all.
It was not until a long time later, or perhaps only half a second later, that the white light gradually dispersed, and Pep's soul returned to her shell.
The space jump was over.
They were still alive.
It was a success. Shanuya had truly escaped from the wretched 'air shock' with all the starships of human beings. They had made it!
Pep wept in joy, but when she saw what Shanuya looked like on the 3D light beam, her tears were different.
The unexpected 'air shock' and the space jump tore the young Shanuya apart like two ferocious beasts.
About two thirds of the tentacles around its body had all withered and been torn apart, and the remaining one third of the tentacles were cramping nonstop, too.
The previously healthy and glossy body was now covered in ugly black spots. A lot of the spots were deeply dented, as if a large cluster of flesh and blood had been burnt into nothingness by the fire of space.
There was also a shocking wound at the center of its body, which must have been directly caused by the space tear, and it had almost been torn in half.
Although its body was still more or less pieced together, most of the body fluids were spurting out of the wound and floating around it, turning into balls that looked like pearls.
Shanuya could no longer protect all the starships of human beings. It dispersed its strength helplessly, and all the starships were thrown away millions of kilometers away. Under its careful protection, most of the starships miraculously did not suffer any damage in the 'air shock' and the space jump, maintaining the normal sailing and even … the ability to open fire.
But it simply floated in the sea of stars in silence, not moving at all. There was no telling whether it was breathing or …
Pep did not dare to think any further.
Enshrouded in uncanny feelings, the girl's every nerve ending was shivering. There was no telling where her courage came from, but she made up her mind to do a 'disgraceful' thing.
