”Thats the12th sir it could just be asteroid slamming at each other or missiles fired to eliminate the asteroid blocking the path. Said another crew who was sweating a lot.”

The captain knew he was just giving them a positive view of things.

”Where retreating! plan an escape route out of here” said the captain calmly.

Yes, sir.

”Another explosion, that's 13th.” Said another crew.

30 minutes later they were out of the asteroid field, they didn't encounter any danger at all. But by the time they got out the number of explosions they picked up is on a hundred,

Of course, many of them are caused by the asteroids colliding at each other when Arc ordered the drones to push the asteroids to hit the incoming sh.i.p.s that are following them.

But deliberately left 2 sh.i.p.s, unfortunately, one of the sh.i.p.s he was supposed to leave alone as a witness was caught in an accident when some asteroids was pushed hard when the ship exploded and accidentally hit the fleeing ship destroying it. Fortunately 1 of the 2 sh.i.p.s he intended to leave alone manage to retreat without any problems.

The ship that survived waited for 3 hours outside the asteroid field just in case more sh.i.p.s survived and needed help. But after waiting for 3 hours of waiting, no other ship except for them survived, making them extremely thankful for their luck. But the captain didn't see it that way he has a feeling they were deliberately left alone as a witness and a warning for those who will follow the specter in the future.

Arc ship the specter was now docked in one of the asteroids in another asteroid field its hundreds of light-years away from the asteroid field he used to deal with the one following him.

Its an asteroid the size of a continent. They are inside it by entering one of the huge tunnels in the asteroid according to Eve this is the ideal place for them to upgrade the specter as the asteroid itself was rich in high grade minerals that they can extract if necessary plus the asteroids is a natural jamming device making the place impossible to scan by this galaxy current technology.

Eve and Arc didn't waste time Arc immediately summon all the materials he has brought and 3 mother drones core 2 of them will integrate into the ship the other would be responsible for their protection.

The mother drones responsible for their protection immediately started operating and chooses an Asteroid 10 times bigger than the one Specter currently hiding and relatively close distance to the asteroid where Arc is located.

In just several minutes 100 drones are created by the mother drones and those 100 have only a single job, to mine resources.

Arc didn't bring anyone with him not even Jarvis as he plans to continuously train while waiting for the specter to be upgraded.

And just like that 3 days have passed.

Most of the specter was already been broken down by over 200 builder droids while another 200 are creating the parts that will be used to upgrade the specter, as for the two mother drones they already started merging into the ship Core to turned the specter into one giant mother drones ship. Where each scales and panel of the outer layer of specter will be converted into fighter drones. And deep layer would be converted into harvester drones luckily the Specter layout was perfect for converting into a mobile drone hive.

The builder droids are using space compression to house a billion Drones into a ship only a half a kilometer in size in fact after it was completed the specter would be capable of holding 10 billion drones without any problems. But as an exchange, there will be no more room for Unmanned Mecha and unmanned ship inside the ship.

But Arc was ok with it. Each drone is only the size of a small car but its quite powerful of course individually it is not as powerful as unmanned Mecha and Ship. But with its number even if GFA uses several squadrons it won't be enough to put a dent or destroy the specter who was armed with over 10 billion drones even if only about 4 billion of them are combat drones the rest are harvester and builder drones each drone cl.u.s.ter have many kinds of drones. That's why out of 10 billion drones 6 billions of them are support drones.

And unless they destroyed 99% of the drones no one is capable of approaching the specter once it entered combat mode.
