"Yes!"
Timi imdiately input a series of commands.
The entire bow of the Sunshine tilted upwards to maintain balance, then slowly began to descend,
the surrounding scenery underwent earth-shaking changes in an instant.
Through the optical images, Su Ming looked out to see that the external starry sky had beco incredibly dark, with strange black star clouds floating everywhere.
These clouds were grotesque and nacing, like man-eating beasts,
and within these eerie star clouds, one could also see so peculiar, virtual apparitions; so resembling humans, others were indistinct clusters, ghostly and elusive.
"What are those virtual apparitions?"
Su Ming asked Mia with great curiosity.
"Don’t ask , I am not sure either, but it is best to ignore them. There’s a history of people trying to pursue those apparitions, only to vanish without a trace."
Mia shook her head and replied.
"Mia, if we don’t enter through the Federation’s gateway, what will we hit?"
Su Ming inquired with intense curiosity.
"Irregular spatial rifts; even the Star Destroyer’s energy barrier couldn’t withstand for long, normal ships and chas would be torn apart in minutes. Besides that, there are so unidentified creatures and unknown dangers. A black ship once secretly entered through another place and luckily made it inside. However, everyone on board died mysteriously, with no cause of death being found."
Mia stretched lazily and replied.
"How long do we have to fly to reach the interior?"
"Not long, about three hours, I suppose."
"Hmm!"
Su Ming nodded slightly in response.
...
Three hours later.
The Sunshine successfully reached the interior of the Abyss of Descent, with the scanning device revealing a dense array of green dots.
In the pitch-black starry sky.
Fortresses shaped like dandelions, and nurous defense weapons floated interspersed.
Behind the array of defense weapons floated a space defense fortress resembling a sea urchin, with a diater of five hundred kiloters, entirely covered in black armor, extending black tallic spiked thorns—Black Thorn Shield.
"What are these?"
Su Ming asked in so surprise.
"The inner defense line. This corresponds to the entrance of Abyss of Descent controlled by the Federation. Although we control the external entrances and exits, the interior needs control too."
Mia explained to Su Ming.
"Makes sense, if the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country occupies this, entry to the Abyss of Descent will be cut off."
Su Ming agreed in response.
"I will now share the coordinates of that giant planet and the Star Map of the Abyss of Descent with you."
Mia raised her bracelet to operate.
The imnse Star Map imdiately appeared on the operating screen.
Su Ming then issued a command to Timi.
"Alright, Timi, activate stealth mode and head to the target point!"
"Yes, activating stealth mode now."
Timi promptly responded.
"Wow, your ship even has a stealth mode."
Mia’s eyes lit up instantly; stealth mode ships are very desirable, especially within regions like Abyss of Descent where various scanning devices are limited, making stealth ships harder to detect.
"Hmm, haven’t tested its effectiveness, this is a good chance to do so! Which legion of the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country seized our Mining Star?"
Su Ming discussed with Mia.
"The Heavenly Revelation Divine Country’s Second Legion, led by Vice Admiral Eta, but I don’t know how many troops they still have stationed at the Mining Star."
Mia said to Su Ming with a grave expression.
"No worries, we can scout when we get closer."
Su Ming responded calmly.
"Hmm!"
Mia nodded in agreent.
...
Three days later.
In the pitch-black starry sky.
The Level 5 Battleship·Sunset silently advanced forward, with a dimly lit giant planet resting in the distance.
Inside the Dood Light Central Control Room.
Timi reported to Mia.
"General, we have arrived near the SCW-07 giant planet, but due to limited scanning device efficacy, we haven’t detected any enemy presence."
"Pause advance, use the optical device to investigate and see if we can capture any enemy traces."
Mia ordered Timi.
"Yes!"
Timi imdiately began the operation.
Su Ming and the others waited quietly.
Minutes later, a virtual image fra appeared.
Before their eyes, in the outer starry sky of the gray giant planet, a Level 5 Mother Ship·Landon, spanning 280 kiloters and covered in white armor, resembling a fathead fish with nurous launch ports and interception cannons, ca into view.
Three Level 5 Battleships hovered around the Landon, along with seven Level 4 Battleships and a large number of patrol chas trailing behind.
"Hiss!"
"So many troops?"
...
Rhein and the others gasped at this sight.
"A bit troubleso, the opposing force is not only all present but also has an additional battleship."
Vice Admiral Umtu said with a serious expression.
"That bastard Eta must be scared I’d co to settle the score, so he amassed so many troops."
Mia gritted her teeth in anger and said.
At that mont, Timi, with a stern expression, addressed Su Ming and the others.
"Sir, the opposing force is too large, and they have three Level 5 Battleships and one Level 5 Mother Ship. If we confront them head-on, with our force, our chances of victory are low; even if we win, we’ll be severely damaged."
"I know."
Mia wasn’t an irrational person. Although she wanted revenge, she also had to assess both sides’ strengths.
For a mont, everyone in the Central Control Room remained silent, initially coming in high spirits for revenge, now clearly seeing the challenge ahead.
"Mia, do you have a comprehensive Defense Star Map of the enemy?"
Just when everyone’s spirits were sinking, Su Ming suddenly spoke up and asked.
