The pieces of the Flood were attached to the shell of the starship like ugly barnacles. Their tentacles released tremendous corrosive acids that broke through the spiritual shield and the composite plate armor of the starship easily, before they crawled in like hydras.
Countless sharp rays of light immediately appeared on the shell of the starship and tore the intruders into shreds.
However, after the flesh and blood of the intruders were ripped apart, their souls turned into translucent flames that echoed in the pathways and corridors inside the starship.
They looked like translucent octopuses.
But they had the tall and handsome faces of the members of the Primeval Tribe.
"Don't run anymore. Where do you think you're going?"
"Wherever you run to, you will never be able to get rid of human beings completely. The inherent inferiority of the Primeval Tribe will only turn planets into hells one after another and bring disasters to the universe. Your offspring will also be the victims of the hellfire, too."
"Killing each other, being selfish, conquering, and destroying are the curses and destinies that you are born with."
"Human beings — the Primeval Tribe — are already approaching the end of the road. The Flood is your final destination."
"Join us and become the only wisdom in the universe. You will enjoy a peaceful, tranquil, and perfect life forever …"
Waves spread out from the depths of the ghosts.
A lot of crew members of the Primeval Tribe were indeed bewitched by the ghosts. They simply allowed the translucent octopuses to enshroud them. After cramping violently, they opened their eyes again, which were filled with indescribable mysteriousness and tranquility.
More members of the Primeval Tribe roared in panic and opened fire at the ghosts crazily.
However, even though they tore the ghosts apart with their energy weapons, they could only turn the octopuses into fireworks that were still surging at them incessantly.
Theresa, however, had long known the horror of the Flood. She also remembered her mission and knew that it was just a test. With the calmness of a bystander, she gritted her teeth and continued shooting at the pieces of the Flood without being disturbed by the ghosts of the Flood.
As the cannons fell one by one, the firepower under her control gradually became sparse.
However, as more and more crew members were drowned in the whispers of the Flood, the mainframe crystal processor of the starship automatically allocated more floating cannons to her. The number of floating cannons under Theresa's control rose from fifty to a hundred, then to two hundred, three hundred, and five hundred.
This was a huge cannon that Theresa had never controlled in the Pangu Universe.
Fortunately, she had been taught by A Boxing Champion and Li Yao for many years. In addition, she had a series of adventures in the Immortal Palace. Her brain had been greatly developed, and her computational ability was much better than before.
After coming to the Emerald Continent, a mysterious power had been injected into his body by Eric, which produced a strange resonance with the crimson palace in front of him. It gave him the feeling that he had merged with the floating cannons and became one with them.
The more enemies there were, the more proficient Theresa's movements became. The roars of the giant cannons were as natural as breathing, and the sweeping of the death rays were like dancing telepathic thoughts.
In the end, the floating cannons under Theresa's control became one of the few bright spots in the chase.
Finally —
When billions of pieces of the Flood swarmed toward the starship, and countless ghosts were wandering in the pathways and corridors of the starship, the starship was ready for a space jump.
In a moment, the world in front of Theresa's eyes was torn apart into colorful swirls. The rays of light that made up the swirls passed above her head and extended to the back endlessly, turning into a twisted tunnel.
Passing through the tunnel beyond the speed of light, Theresa was caught in darkness.
A line of words that contained tremendous information appeared before her eyes. In a trance, the meaning of the words popped up in Theresa's head directly.
"You have passed the preliminary identification test and received the level-one permission to control 'Jade'. You are allowed to enter the level-one area of the bridge."
There was also a lot of indescribable information hidden in the words, including the way to open the level-one area of the bridge, the distribution of part of the cannons and the internal defense system, and the operation methods.
There was also the most important mission.
Everybody who entered the crimson palace had to reactivate 'Jade', the super warship that had been sealed for thousands of years!
My guess was indeed correct, Theresa thought to herself.
The entire Bloody Battle Devil Sector was the 'Jade', the super warship of the primeval clan that fled to this place in a hurry to avoid the scourge of the Flood millions of years ago.
"However, after they fled to this place, for some reason, maybe because the damage was too heavy, or maybe because the fuel was completely exhausted, the refugees of the primeval clan had to seal it.
"Perhaps, in the beginning, such a seal was just a stopgap measure. The refugees of the primeval clan hoped to find new resources and fuel on the Jade Continent so that they could restart the super warship and build a brand-new civilization very soon.
"But out of their expectation, a certain uncanny accident made them fall into the abyss of technology and civilization failure. After a long time, the descendants of the refugees forgot the glory and the mission of their ancestors, as well as the real face of 'Jade'. Some of the descendants of the refugees who left Jade even called this place 'Bloody Battle Devil Sector' and regarded their compatriots who were still living on the starship as their mortal enemies!
"To some extent, the Flood was not wrong.
"Killing each other and endless conquest and destruction are indeed the destiny of human beings. It is the same for human beings and devils on the Jade Continent. Isn't it the same for the people in the Pangu universe?
"However, to completely abandon oneself in order to end such a destiny, is it any different from suicide on the mental level?
"We will certainly walk on the third path other than the 'primeval' and the 'Flood'. We will!"
With this realization in mind, Theresa slowly woke up.
She discovered that, with the awakening of the 'Level One Permission', the magic power inside her body was more active and condensed. It could vaguely echo with the magic elements floating around.
Unexpected changes were happening in the caves around, too.
The previously dim rock wall gradually emitted a metallic luster as if it had been reborn from fire. The liquid alloys of the mustard-seed level flowed slowly and condensed into futuristic instruments and devices. Metal flowers bloomed one after another, and the stamens of the flowers — the fibers connected to the nerves — danced gracefully in the air.
The Great Elder of the Turin Clan was not wrong. This place, the crimson palace, was the bridge of the 'Emerald'!
At this moment, many devils were separated from the connection of the stamens and ejected out of the test space.
Most of them did not pass the test. They did not even know what the fierce battle between the Flood and the Primeval Clan was about. With confusion flowing in their eyes, they looked at everything around them, dumbfounded.
Other than Theresa, only Black Jack's eyes were as clear and even sharper as before.
But before Theresa and Blackjack's eyes could meet, there was a deafening roar outside the bridge.
With the intense explosion, several devils who were responsible for guarding the bridge were blown away by the blast and flew in with broken bones.
With the sound of armor and weapons colliding, an aura that was as scorching as a burning hurricane swept in with overwhelming momentum.
It was the Prison Exterminator Clan.
Grand Monarch Kuba had suppressed the coalition army of the six clans in the Thousand Gate Mountain and teleported here so quickly!
