Chapter 1250: Welcome to My World (1/2)
Just as Jiang Fei’s body mysteriously disappeared, Braveheart’s cannons finished charging up their attack.
“FIRE!” Akatziris screamed.
“Yes, captain!”
0543 immediately fired all cannons at the metal box drifting in space not too far from the ship that was the ship’s holding cell.
BOOM! BOOM BOOM!…
Multiple beams of death rays instantly shot out toward the defenceless holding cell. And after the last shot finally made it through its target, not even a speck of wreckage debris remained.
“Report! Are they dead yet?” Akatziris anxiously asked the ship’s virtual assistant.
“Yes, captain! Due to the target being too close to us, our shields are down by 65%. 37% of the ship’s hull has been damaged and 15% of the ship’s frame has been damaged by the blast. The ship is now in critical condition, captain!” 0543 reported.
“That’s not what I asked you, moron! Didn’t you hear me? I want you to tell me about the holding cell and Jiang Fei! Is he still alive?” Akatziris snapped at the AI. It did not matter to her if the ship suffered a heavy beating from the bombardment, for as long as Jiang Fei was dead, she could have all the time in the world for repairs. But if he was still alive, then the retribution later would be much worse than Braveheart being in critical condition.
“Scanner sweeps are not picking up any signs of life from the area, it is highly probable that the target has been eliminated,” 0543 then replied. Braveheart’s concentrated cannon fire was powerful enough to obliterate a small planet, let alone one tiny containment cell, so not picking up any life signatures on the scanners after such an attack was an expected result.
“Is he really dead? Then why am I getting a bad feeling about this?” Akatziris frowned with her biomechanical brows.
“Rest assured, captain. Nothing can survive concentrated cannon fire from Braveheart, especially when they have been incapacitated by the holding cell’s power suppression system.” 0543 assured her captain.
With over ten thousand of the Namekian ship’s main cannons all firing at once, even a Level 5 Metahuman would be reduced to nothing but dust particles. The only way to avoid such a fate would be to instantly teleport away from the line of fire, but Jiang Fei and the girls all had their powers suppressed by the prison cell so teleporting under those conditions would be impossible. Thus, 0543 calculated the possibility of them dying from the attack to be 99.99%.
“No, I don’t think he would just go out so easily like this!” The android’s anxiety was steadily growing, spreading throughout her electrical circuits.
“0543, set a course and prepare the ship for intergalactic warp immediately!”
Akatziris did not feel safe remaining there. The thoughts of Jiang Fei suddenly showing up again were haunting her, tormenting her operating system. She decided to leave the milky way and head toward another galaxy immediately.
“But captain, the ship is still heavily damaged. Warping in this condition is not advisable.” 0543 cautioned her.
“Don’t bother me with that nonsense and stop telling me what I can or cannot do! Warp us to the X75 star cluster now!” Akatziris shouted angrily. Warping the heavily damaged Braveheart would only do more harm than good to the ship, but she could not shake off the feeling of imminent doom from her logic processor, and every wire in her metal body was telling her to leave this galaxy for another one immediately.
“Right away, captain!” Having received such a forceful order from her captain, 0543 could do nothing else but comply with it. So after adjusting the ship’s direction and inputting the warp coordinates into the ship’s navigation system, Braveheart then sped up and prepared to enter subspace.
WRRR!
Not long after the ship had started its journey, an intense white ball of light appeared some hundreds of kilometers in front of them. While such a distance would be considered lengthy on Earth, it was nothing compared to the infinite expanse of outer-space.
“What the h*ll is that?” The bright ball of light did not evade Akatziris’ lenses and was spotted immediately after it appeared.
0543 quickly zoomed in on the unidentified object and projected a live visual on a nearby wall. But neither the virtual assistant nor was her captain prepared in any way for what they saw.
