Ultraman: It turns out this is the easy mode.

Before the Naga's emergency evacuation order could be fully transmitted to all the compartments of the flying saucer, more than ten small combat ships sped out from the launch hatch on the belly of the giant flying saucer, their engines spewing dark purple flames, hastily forming a loose but imposing interception fleet.

Knowing the terrifying combat power of "Storm One" Cui Ming, they dared not be careless in the slightest. As soon as they entered the effective attack range, they couldn't wait to aim the energy cannons on the bow of the ship at Flying Sky One and unleash a dense barrage of energy fire.

A series of dark purple beams streaked across the deep, silent universe, leaving fleeting trails of light and shadow that wove together a seemingly impenetrable net of fire, attempting to intercept Feitian-1 halfway to the giant flying saucer and buy even a second of time for the mothership to evacuate.

"Is that all you've got? You dare to come out and embarrass yourself?" Cui Ming's lips curled into a cold sneer, his eyes sharp as a hawk's as he locked onto the enemy fleet ahead. His hands danced rapidly across the holographic buttons on the control panel, leaving a trail of afterimages in the path of his fingertips.

Faced with the oncoming energy barrage that almost completely blocked all escape routes, he remained calm and maneuvered the Flying Sky One into an extremely dangerous evasive maneuver—the fuselage suddenly tilted 90 degrees to the left, like a thin sheet blown by the airflow, almost brushing past the whistling energy beam.

A purple, high-temperature halo swept across the special coating of the fuselage, leaving a brief burn mark, which was then smoothed out by the spacecraft's automatic repair system.

Immediately afterwards, Cui Ming slammed the throttle valve up, and the engine of Flying Sky One burst forth with a dazzling blue flame. The flame suddenly extended several times in length, and the spaceship, like a falcon breaking free of its restraints, instantly broke through the sub-light speed, drawing an extremely smooth arc in the universe, and rushed straight into the Naga fleet formation, catching the enemy off guard.

The maneuverability of Flying Sky One was brought to its limit under Cui Ming's superb control, far exceeding the design limits of the warship.

Sometimes it would rapidly rotate in place around its own axis, the energy shield generated by the rotation deflecting all incoming fire from behind, the trajectory of its hull resembling a blue energy vortex; other times it would suddenly stop during a high-speed sprint, catching two small ships chasing behind off guard and instantly exposing them to the firepower of the Flying Sky One, completely losing its advantage in the pursuit; still other times it would suddenly rise at a right angle that almost defied the laws of physics, its bow tilting upwards, precisely passing over the heads of enemy ships, and then quickly adjusting its attitude to launch a surprise attack from above where the enemy's defenses were weakest.

The entire process was smooth and seamless, without any hesitation or pause. It was as if Feitian No. 1 and Cui Ming's consciousness had completely merged into one. Every thought of his could be instantly transformed into the actions of the spaceship. It moved freely through the dense and terrifying artillery fire, as easily as taking a leisurely stroll.

“We’ve dodged enough. It’s time for us to counterattack,” Cui Ming said in a deep voice, his tone devoid of any emotion, as if what he was about to destroy was not an enemy warship, but a pile of insignificant scrap metal.

With a steady press of the weapon fire button, the first thing to be activated is the twin laser cannon hidden on both sides of the fuselage.

Two dazzling red laser beams instantly pierced through the cannon muzzle, like the sharp blades wielded by the Grim Reaper, carrying the aura of high temperature and destruction, and precisely locked onto the core engine parts of the two small spaceships in front.

The moment the laser beam touched the spaceship's outer shell, it easily penetrated the energy shield and armor, heading straight into the engine.

With two deafening booms, the engines of the two spaceships exploded in a chain reaction, turning into two dazzling orange-red fireballs that briefly burned and expanded in the deep universe before being swallowed up by the vacuum of space and dissipating into countless hot metal fragments that drifted aimlessly.

Having easily dispatched the two enemies ahead, three more spaceships were hot on their heels, their bow energy cannons continuously firing, attempting to lock onto the nimble Flying Sky One. Cui Ming's eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at the pursuit trajectory on the holographic screen. He then maneuvered the Flying Sky One into a sudden 180-degree flip, causing the spaceship to spin like a top in the air, instantly aiming its stern weapon systems at the pursuing enemy ships.

At the same time, he quickly activated the multi-missile array under the fuselage, and the hidden hatch slowly opened, revealing dozens of small tracking missiles that gleamed coldly.

"Launch." Cui Ming gave a soft shout, and pressed the launch button again. Dozens of missiles roared out, trailing bright blue flames like a swarm of poisonous bees, accompanied by the buzzing of a lock-on signal, accurately locking onto the three pursuing target ships.

"Bang! Bang bang!" The continuous explosions echoed in the silent universe as the three spaceships were hit by missiles one after another—two of them were hit by multiple missiles at the same time and were blown into pieces; the other was hit on the side, lost its balance and control, and drifted into the depths of space with its broken fuselage, eventually becoming a lifeless and cold wreckage.

In a short time, five warships were lost, and the remaining Naga spaceship pilots were completely plunged into despair. However, four of the spaceships were unwilling to be destroyed and tried to break out in different directions, hoping to disrupt Cui Ming's rhythm by splitting up and attacking from both sides.

Cui Ming had already seen through their clumsy tricks. A ferocious smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes were full of disdain: "Trying to run? Since you're here, stay here! No way!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he decisively activated one of the trump cards of Flying Sky One—the super-temperature difference ray.

The main turret at the front of the fuselage slowly rose, and the muzzle gathered extremely cold light blue energy and extremely hot deep red energy. The two extreme energies intertwined and entwined at the muzzle, forming a strange two-color beam of light.

As Cui Ming pressed the launch button, the dual-color beam shot out instantly, like a giant dual-color python spanning the universe, sweeping across a large area of ​​space in front of him.

The two spaceships struck by the beam of light instantly showed bizarre signs of both freezing and high-temperature burning on their outer shells. The material structure completely collapsed under the intense alternation of extreme cold and heat, and then exploded into dust under the powerful energy impact.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the last two spaceships dared not have any thought of resistance anymore and turned around to try their best to escape back to the giant flying saucer for protection.

How could Cui Ming give them this chance to prolong their lives?

He maneuvered Flying Sky One to instantaneous acceleration, its engines unleashing even greater thrust, closely following one of the spaceships, while simultaneously activating the even more powerful D4 ray. (End of Chapter)
