The two of them ran forward without regard for anything else.
Every step exhausted the strength in the deepest part of their muscles.
They had no time to think about what kind of danger was hidden in front of them, nor did they care about Black Jack's shocking roar behind them.
The short sprint of hundreds of meters exhausted them. They slipped and fell forward to the ground. Their legs were so weak that they couldn't get up anymore.
When they looked back, Black Jack was still entangled by Great Monarch Kuba, but he stretched out a hand and controlled countless tentacles to surge toward them.
Princess A Xia pulled out her saber from her waist and struggled to get up.
Theresa took a deep breath and roared with all her strength, "I have Level One Firepower Control Authority. Now I've discovered that an otherworldly life form has invaded the core area of the bridge. Kill it, no matter what method you use, kill it!"
Princess A Xia looked at Theresa in surprise, not understanding why she suddenly lost her mind. Did she think that she could stop the enemy by chanting these two funny incantations?
As he expected, the core area of the bridge remained unmoved. There was nothing but dead silence. The only sound that could be heard was Black Jack's tentacles invading the pathway, making creepy and disgusting noises that made one want to vomit.
A touch of despair flashed across Theresa's eyes, but it was instantly smashed by her stubborn will.
She shouted for the second time. This time, she used the language of the magic world that A Boxing Champion had taught her.
Unfortunately, the core area of the bridge was still silent, and no sharp weapons were exposed.
"Theresa, what are you talking about?"
Princess A Xia was confused. She felt that since she came to the Bloody Battle Demon Realm, the familiar people around her, whether it was Black Jack or Theresa, had constantly changed and become unrecognizable. "Are you … summoning something?"
"Yes, there must be a very powerful weapon hidden here. Unfortunately, I don't know how to summon it!"
Theresa gritted her teeth and punched the ground hard, splashing blood everywhere.
Seeing that Black Jack's hundreds of tentacles were like hundreds of pythons passing through the tunnel and invading the core area of the bridge, Theresa had no choice but to shout her order for the last time. "An otherworldly life form has invaded the bridge. The Emerald is in an emergency. I have Level One Firepower Control Authority. I request to take over the defense system of the bridge. Kill it, no matter what method you use, kill it!"
Something inconceivable happened.
Theresa was already riddled with wounds. Blood flowed all over her body and arms, flowing from her wrists to her fists.
Blood splattered everywhere when he smashed into the ground, but it was completely absorbed by the silver quicksand on the ground, leaving not a single drop behind.
After absorbing her blood, the core area of the bridge seemed to have gone through some kind of complicated and detailed verification. An invisible wind blew over, and the core area of the bridge was immediately revived.
At this moment, a few tentacles had already crawled through the pathway and crawled into the core area of the bridge, stabbing at Theresa and Princess Summer brutally.
"Shua!"
Hundreds of red lasers flashed around the pathway at the same time. The lasers interweaved into an impenetrable grid that tore apart all the tentacles that had invaded the pathway!
The red laser beam flashed.
Hundreds of ferocious tentacles instantly froze.
Very soon, circular cracks appeared on the surface of the tentacles, which turned into countless pieces of meat and fell to the ground, wriggling slowly like earthworms that were struggling before death.
The tentacles that had flooded into the core area of the bridge were chopped off, too. The ends of the tentacles were still crawling toward Theresa and Princess Summer under the control of the primitive nerves, hissing.
Princess A Xia held back her disgust and chopped them into pieces. Only then did she sit on the ground and let out a long sigh of relief.
Theresa stared at Black Jack outside of the pathway.
Black Jack stared at Theresa in the core area of the bridge on the other end of the pathway in surprise, too.
Their eyes collided in midair. The sparks raised were almost burning the pieces of meat on the ground into ashes.
In the next second, the liquid metal around the pathway slowly flowed up, and the pathway was closed again into a solid wall.
Their gazes were separated.
Theresa and Princess Summer successfully entered the core area of the bridge, but Black Jack, Emperor Kuba, and the rest of them were locked outside.
They should be safe for the time being.
Theresa groaned and fell to the ground. She was drenched in cold sweat and felt that her stomach and lower abdomen were cramping. Those damn little demons had started to mess around in her stomach again. She was in so much pain as they fell down and pulled at her.
However, she had made the right bet!
Looking at Princess Summer who was in disbelief, Theresa grinned and gave her a brilliant smile.
She did not know how to explain it to Princess Summer.
All in all, based on her experience in piloting starships in the Pangu universe, such a large-scale planetary-level, or even stellar-level, starship certainly boasted excellent artificial intelligence to control the advanced unmanned control and defense systems.
In an extremely special emergency, such as when the starship was seriously damaged and the original captain, first mate, and fire control officer were all killed, or when the enemy had invaded the core area of the bridge in a fierce boarding battle and was about to execute the decapitation strategy, or when the starship was invaded by alien life forms that did not belong to this universe, the junior officers were qualified to temporarily gain higher authority and order the automatic defense system to be fully activated.
Although Emerald had been sleeping for thousands of years, judging from the test just now, part of its functions were still intact. At least, the core area of the bridge could be awakened. Otherwise, Witch Kelly would not have gone through so much trouble to leave the so-called "Legacy of the Crimson Queen".
Obviously, Black Jack did not belong to this universe, nor did he belong to any other universe that Theresa could understand. He was an out-and-out alien invader.
Therefore, Theresa boldly hypothesized that if the core area of the bridge could detect the existence of an alien life form like Black Jack, and if her Level One Fire Control Authority could be verified, she would definitely be able to order the defense force of the core area of the bridge to kill him!
After all, although she only had the Fire Control Authority of the lowest level, nobody on Emerald should have a higher authority than her.
Then, as long as the artificial intelligence controlling the starship believed that the invasion of the bridge by an alien life form like Black Jack was an emergency, she would be able to bypass the restriction of the level of authority and directly take control of the entire Emerald!
Hehe. From that point of view, Black Jack had actually done him a great favor. He and Master Kuba's careful schemes were all for other people's benefit. No, Space Cannon King Han Te, in the end, had taken all the advantages for nothing!
