The "Survival on the Train" game has bugs, it's really laggy!

Deep within the Earth's core, the wreckage of the ten-kilometer-long Pangu 001 flagship lies quietly on the rocky surface. Surrounding it are thirty-six newly illuminated crimson spots of light.

The dark matter annihilation mine has entered the detonation process.

The red light flickered at an extremely high frequency, each beat drawing away free energy from the surrounding space. The temperature in the air plummeted, and a chilling sense of death enveloped the entire Earth's core cavity.

"Warning! Deadly physical danger!"

Inside the main control room of the Devourer, the background color of the holographic screen had completely turned a glaring blood red. Countless pop-up windows representing extreme danger were refreshing wildly like a waterfall, and the screen even showed severe afterimages due to the rapid refresh rate.

The small fire's synthesized voice produced a lot of noise, and the audio waveform emitted a sharp tearing sound in the speaker.

"Thirty-six dark matter annihilation mines have been detected reaching the detonation threshold!"

"Detonation countdown: 50 seconds."

Fifty seconds isn't even enough time for the Devourer to warm up and prepare for its sprint. And the power of those thirty-six mines could blast the entire crust of the Southern Hemisphere into space debris in an instant.

An even more terrifying sense of oppression came from above.

The phased-array radar roared like a madman. Radar waves penetrated tens of thousands of meters of ground, capturing the deadly formation outside the atmosphere. Thirty-seven deep-space cruisers, each three thousand meters long, were linked end to end, their massive dark matter gravitational cages transforming into a visible, pure black hemispherical net of light, tightly gripping the continental shelf of the Southern Hemisphere.

A double kill. Explode below, dig above.

The physical order within the Earth's core cavity began to collapse. The gravitational field underwent an extremely bizarre reversal. The shattered rock fragments on the ground did not fall downwards, but instead floated upwards uncontrollably. The blood that Li Daikui had just slammed onto the metal deck turned into droplets of blood, flowing directly back towards the roof of the vehicle.

The supposedly indestructible black-gold armor on the outer layer of the tank emitted a teeth-grinding grinding sound under the terrifying pressure from the converging forces of heaven and earth. The rivets at the joints of the armor plates could not withstand this abnormal stress and flew off one after another, slamming heavily into the steel beams inside the flagship's belly, sending up blinding sparks.

The air pressure gauge in the carriage went off the charts in just two seconds, and the red needle snapped off with a click.

"Survival rate assessment in progress... zero. Tactical evasion route... none. Defense threshold breached..." Xiao Huo's announcement became a death knell.

Wang Hu gripped the control stick tightly, the immense force leaving fingerprints on the pure steel body. His face was covered in cold sweat, veins bulging on his forehead, and he gasped for breath, his lungs feeling like they were filled with shards of glass. The reversed gravity caused him, despite his enhanced physique, excruciating pain as if his internal organs were shifting.

He looked up at the figure in the driver's seat.

Su Yuan stood in front of the control panel, his legs rooted to the tilting deck. There was no panic on his face. His indifferent gaze swept over the frantically fluctuating numbers forty-nine and forty-eight on the screen, before settling on the gravitational black net pressing down on his head.

run?

There's no way to escape this situation.

Su Yuan raised his right hand, holding in his palm the cube that emitted a pure white light—the physical ignition key for the Pangu 001 flagship.

"Small Fire, shut down all lightning protection procedures, deactivate the defensive force field, and fully charge the power reactors, no need to hold back!"

Su Yuan's voice was hoarse, and he spoke extremely quickly. He slapped the pure white cube against the overload slot at the core of the main control panel, violently slamming it in.

Click.

The physical latch gripped the cube tightly. Pure white light instantly flowed along the metal circuit of the slot, into the bottom motherboard of the Devourer, and then along the thick data cable of the vehicle chassis, directly into the nerve center of the ten-kilometer-long flagship wreckage outside.

Su Yuan wanted to seize control of the flagship directly.

"Connect and start..." Xiao Huo's voice had just risen when it froze again within a second.

On the main control screen, the originally smooth, flowing pure white light encountered extremely strong resistance. A black code wall, as solid as an iron plate, blocked the interface.

"Warning! Flagship's underlying firewall is frozen! Age determination conflict! Identifier code expired!"

The Deep Space Matrix occupied this flagship for fourteen years. Even though its physical body was destroyed by Su Yuan, the underlying logic lock it left behind is still deeply engraved in its skeleton.

The countdown jumped to forty seconds.

The black gravitational cage had already crushed through the earth's strata. Large sections of rock collapsed from the top of the cavity, and countless boulders, weighing hundreds or even thousands of tons, crashed down onto the flagship's hull, creating a deafening roar. The entire flagship wreckage began to shake violently, and the Devourer's hull was jolted sideways.

"Smash it open for me!" Su Yuan roared, the bronze lock mark with the character "Yun" on his left arm bursting with dazzling purple light, forcibly injecting the power of rules into the system along the push lever. But this firewall was a deadlock, a pure physical and logical isolation, and the higher-dimensional rules couldn't find a way in a short time.

At that very moment of stalemate.

At the very back of the carriage, inside the zero isolation compartment, which was firmly welded shut by fourteen heavy metal pins and set to be absolutely physically stationary.

Inside the hibernation pod, Ji Yun lay quietly in the pale blue nutrient solution. All her vital signs should have completely stopped.

Extremely faint vibrations were transmitted through the bulkhead.

At the corner of her right eye, a drop of water that had already frozen into an ice crystal suddenly showed signs of liquefaction, despite the intense gravitational pull and the extremely dangerous alarm of the tank.

Click.

An extremely faint cracking sound echoed within the absolute zero chamber. The surface of the ice crystals cracked, and a stream of microscopic data, emitting a ghostly blue light, emerged directly from the liquefied water droplets.

This is the last dark blue military code etched into my bones when the first generation established this system fourteen years ago.

The data stream was not hindered by any physical hardware. It ignored the insulating coating of the isolation chamber and transformed into an invisible electromagnetic pulse, which shot into the main control cabinet of the Devourer in an instant through the gaps in the deck.

"drop--"

The black firewall on the main control screen dissolved and collapsed instantly upon contact with this eerie blue code, just like ice meeting boiling water.

"Deadlock resolved! 100% privilege coverage! Flagship takeover successful!"

Countdown: 35 seconds.

Su Yuan's eyes sharpened, and he suddenly exerted force with his wrist, pushing the push bar all the way down.

"Connect it!"

Deep beneath the chassis of the Devourer, the gears of the mobile refining furnace emitted a tearing roar. The thirty-six dark gold conduits that had just grown from the devoured pseudo-god, carrying the force of a thunderbolt, directly shattered the armor at the bottom of the chariot and extended wildly downwards.

puff!puff!puff!

Dozens of thick conduits, like thirty-six magic needles, carried extremely violent physical kinetic energy and directly pierced through the metal spine of the Pangu 001 flagship, firmly embedding themselves in the super-large core drive shaft with a diameter of over fifty meters.

The barbs on the conduit popped outwards, forcibly riveting the two huge machines together.

"【Deep Space Law Reversal Center】Activated!" Su Yuan shouted.

The mythical-level tactical component he had just snatched from the false god unleashed unimaginable dominance at this moment. The remaining energy that had been dissipating outward along the flagship's return path was forcibly seized by the central control, and then turned around in an extremely unreasonable way, beginning to flow in reverse.

All the energy indicator lights inside the flagship turned into an aggressive dark gold color at the same time.

However, the physical crisis has not been resolved.

The Devourer only weighs two thousand tons, while the flagship beneath it is a steel mountain range stretching ten kilometers long. The tensile force from the forced connection exceeded the physical limits of the chassis's load-bearing supports.

"Warning! Anchor points No. 2 and No. 5 are about to break! The connection between the tank and the flagship is not strong enough! There is a risk of disengagement!"

Thirty seconds.

At the rear of the carriage, Li Daikui stared with bloodshot eyes at the violently vibrating connecting pipes outside. The hydraulic pump of his prosthetic leg was spewing hot air out, a sign of overload operation.

He didn't need to look at the screen, nor did he need to understand those complex tactical codes. The veteran, who had fought his entire life, instinctively sensed Su Yuan's mad intentions.

This kid wasn't planning to run away; he was going to use those thirty-six nuclear bombs that could flatten the earth as fuel for his damn takeoff!

If the Devourer detaches, the nuclear bombs underneath will reduce everything to ashes. The vehicle and the flagship must be securely tied together.

"Stop firing, you bastards!" Li Daikui ripped the flamethrower from his hand, turned and roared at the sixty or seventy remaining soldiers behind him, "Squads three and four! Go to the left! Squads five and six! Follow me to the right! Lock the manual locking levers on the external ports!"

The manually operated locking levers are purely mechanical components on the outer side of the Devourer's armor used for emergency securing of heavy external equipment. They are located on the outside of the vehicle body.

Outside the car, there is an abnormal gravity more than forty times stronger than usual, as well as a high-dimensional energy friction environment with temperatures reaching thousands of degrees.

None of the veterans asked why.

Old Chen is dead; all that's left are old ghosts who've been rolling around in piles of corpses for fourteen years.

"Open the door!"

The hydraulic tailgate was violently kicked open. Li Daikui was the first to rush out, braving the terrifying gravitational storm. As soon as he emerged, the gale grazed his face, leaving several bloody cuts, but he didn't stop. His body slammed heavily onto the armored walkway on the right wing like a cannonball.

Dozens of veterans rushed out of the train carriage like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.

They used both their hands and feet to climb towards the huge metal levers that required two people to hug.

These levers were now glowing red-hot from the energy infusion.

"Press!"

Li Daikui roared and grabbed the red-hot iron pillar with both arms.

laugh--

The intense heat instantly burned through his tactical uniform on his arms and chest, and when his skin touched the branding iron-like lever, thick plumes of smoke immediately billowed out. The pungent smell of burning fat filled the air.

No one let go.

Using their entire body weight, their bones and flesh as bait, they pressed down hard on the levers. The combined strength of dozens of people, accompanied by the sound of muscles tearing, forced the massive locking levers down inch by inch.

Click! Click! Click!

All the external physical latches were locked shut. The gap between the Devourer's chassis and the flagship's spine was completely closed, and at this moment, the two steel behemoths were welded together by flesh and blood into an inseparable whole.

Twenty seconds.

"Tie rod locking complete! Structural strength reaches 200%!" Xiao Huo announced.

Above them, the gravitational cage of dark matter finally touched the top of the Earth's core cavity.

Boom!

The entire underground world emitted a terrifying roar, like the dawn of the universe. The hard rock layers, cut like tofu by the gravitational cage, were shredded into countless pieces, then turned into the finest dust, which was sucked into the gravitational vortex of the cage.

The shadow of the cage loomed overhead.

The internal metal frame of the flagship wreckage emitted a chilling groan, and the ten-kilometer-long hull visibly bent and deformed under gravity.

"It can't withstand it! The material isn't hard enough!" Wang Hu roared.

Su Yuan's eyes were bloodshot. He ripped off his left tactical glove, revealing the "Cloud" character engraved with bronze lock patterns. He pressed his left hand firmly against the metal panel of the main control console.

"If we can't handle it, then let's change the rules."

A low growl rolled out from Su Yuan's throat.

"【Absolute definition of rules】."

"Define the material of the current vehicle and its subordinate flagship's frame —"

"Absolute conduction!"

The radiant light from the mark traveled along the main control panel at the speed of light, spreading throughout the entire Devourer, and then surging into the ten-kilometer-long flagship wreckage at its base. Within a fraction of a second, the entire massive steel skeleton lost all its physical resistance to pressure.

It was no longer an entity bearing force. It had become a channel with absolutely no resistance. The gravitational cage pressed down on it, and the force was instantly and evenly distributed and conducted to the rock mass at the bottom.

The bent hull came to an abrupt stop.

ten seconds.

Deep underground in the rock strata, the thirty-six scarlet spots of light had reached a brightness that was blinding. The fuse of the dark matter annihilation lightning had burned out completely.

The small fire cut off all energy supplies except for the main gun and the refining furnace. Even the backup lights in the driver's cab went out.

"Star Core Melting Furnace, negative pressure absorbing power, 200%!"

The refining furnace at the bottom of the Devourer emitted a roar powerful enough to shatter one's soul. The thirty-six dark gold conduits glowed a deep red.

Su Yuan's lips curled into an extremely cold smile. He slapped open the red gravity-reversing valve on the control panel, which was emblazoned with a skull.

It's not defense, it's active absorption.

He directed the terrifying suction of the refining furnace directly at the thirty-six nuclear mines below that were about to explode.

"Come on, fill it up."

three seconds.

two.

One.

The pure black gravity cage overhead materialized into a solidified black net, which was heavily fastened to the bow of the flagship wreckage.

At the same instant, deep within the Earth's core, thirty-six dark matter annihilation mines exploded simultaneously.

No sound.

An extreme burst of energy instantly drained all the surrounding air. A pure white, dark matter light, capable of obliterating all senses, surged forth from the ground.

However, this devastating energy, powerful enough to tear apart tectonic plates, did not spread outwards and turn the Earth upside down.

Because in the milliseconds of the explosion, above them, a completely unobstructed super channel, activated with extreme negative pressure to devour everything, had already been positioned.

boom!

Like thirty-six raging, reverse-current dragons, the white light flowed along the conduit of the refining furnace and was forcibly sucked into the flagship's metal frame by the Deep Space Law Reversal Center.

Su Yuan defined "absolute conduction." The flagship's framework was not destroyed; instead, it was transformed into a high-pressure conduit.

Li Daikui and the veterans outside the vehicle clung tightly to the lever. They kept their eyes closed, but the blinding white light pierced their eyelids, burning their retinas into a brief, snow-white glow. They felt no heat, only an indescribable, immense force surging wildly within the steel beneath them.

Energy convergence and diversion completed.

Under the intense pressure of the refining furnace, the main gun barrel of the Devourer expanded by a full circle on a physical level. The accumulated power of the ten-kilometer-long flagship, coupled with the instantaneous explosion of thirty-six nuclear warheads, and the molten lava drawn in from the depths of the earth.

All of this converged into the transmitter in front of Wang Hu.

"Old Wang! Fire!"

Su Yuan shouted.

Wang Hu couldn't hear anything; his eardrums had long since gone deaf. But he saw Su Yuan's actions: he gripped the hydraulic push rod with both hands and, with all his might, rammed it into the deepest part of the control panel.

boom----!

The most massive and terrifying main cannon ever released on Earth unleashed its power.

From the front of the Devourer, a beam of light exceeding two kilometers in diameter shot out, piercing the sky. This beam was composed of dark matter white light, Earth's core red lotus lava, and high-dimensional paradox energy, exhibiting an unbearable purple-gold mixed color.

The beam of light went straight upwards, without any stalemate or any apparent tug-of-war between the two forces.

It slammed directly into the gravitational black net overhead with overwhelming force.

stab.

That high-dimensional gravitational cage, laid out by thirty-seven deep-space cruisers in outer space and powerful enough to scour the Southern Hemisphere, was violently torn to shreds the moment it came into contact with the beam of light, like a piece of paper.

The gravity lines snapped one by one.

The terrifying recoil force had nowhere to go, and along those broken high-dimensional gravitational lines, it flowed upstream at a speed exceeding the speed of light, directly pouring into space.

Outside of near-Earth orbit.

Thirty-seven deep-space cruisers, arranged in a precise geometric formation, simultaneously sounded piercing overload alarms in their command centers from their alien systems. Gravitational feedback brought about a devastating catastrophe, and the formation instantly collapsed.

The three 3,000-meter-class frigates positioned at the main node of the gravity network had their outer energy shields, capable of withstanding railgun bombardment, burst at this moment like balloons blown to their limit, with a "pop".

Countless shocking, enormous cracks were blown open on the ship's armor.

But at the Earth's core.

The terrifying recoil thrust generated when the thirty-six nuclear bombs exploded at the bottom, along with the gravitational repulsion field provided by the reversal center, was used to propel the bombs.

The ten-kilometer-long wreckage of the Pangu 001 flagship emitted a thrilling metallic roar. It had broken free from the constraints of the Earth's core rock that had bound it for millions of years.

It rose up from the ground.

It was like a towering steel mountain, flying backwards towards the earth's crustal passage created by the piercing beam of light overhead, rapidly ascending.

The Devourer was firmly embedded on the top of this upside-down mountain, like a tyrant sitting on an unparalleled throne.

The speed increased rapidly, breaking the sound barrier and the heat barrier. The metal shell burst into flames due to atmospheric friction.

The Abyss Forbidden Zone, an ice field on the surface.

Those veterans of the Great Wall who had just survived the battle between the Zero Purge and the deep-space monsters were dragging their broken bodies in a final stand against the black, poisonous rain.

Suddenly, the earth shook violently.

A series of rapid explosions erupted from the frozen ground beneath their feet. The ice shattered like glass.

next second.

All the veterans looked up, their pupils contracting sharply on faces covered in dirt and blood.

A burning mountain range stretching ten kilometers long, carrying a devastating aura, crashed directly through a ten-thousand-meter-thousand-meter-long layer of ice from the ground and soared into the sky.

At the very top of that mountain, a jet-black chariot radiates an awe-inspiring divine light.

"That is..." A veteran who had lost an arm trembled as his gun fell to the ground.

"It's flagship 001...the original large ship!"

"Fourteen years! It didn't sink! It didn't sink!"

The veterans knelt on the ice, watching the massive plume of flame rise into the sky, and burst into tears. Their cries contained fourteen years of pent-up frustration, the despair of being abandoned, but even more so, the burning rage of seeing humanity's ultimate weapon, fueled by the fire of revenge, ascend once more!

At that moment, the morale of the remaining soldiers instantly reached its peak.

But the Devourer did not stop showing off in the atmosphere.

Su Yuan stared coldly at the radar chart on the screen. The flagship's massive mass, propelled by the nuclear explosion, generated an extremely terrifying amount of kinetic energy. He had no intention of slowing down at all.

"Once out of the atmosphere, lock onto the largest capital ship in the very center of the formation!"

Su Yuan gave Wang Hu a direct order: "The main gun doesn't need charging. Give me the barrel as a sight and use it to fine-tune the direction."

Wang Hu gritted his teeth and grinned maliciously: "Fuck him!"

Seconds later, the flagship wreckage shattered the clouds in the atmosphere, piercing the cold, silent vacuum of space. Sound was silenced here, leaving only pure visual impact.

In low Earth orbit.

The alien commander of the deep-space fleet stood inside the command center of the three-thousand-meter-long capital ship. Its enormous compound eyes were fixed on the behemoth that had burst forth from the Earth's interior.

Its underlying logic has fallen into an extremely serious conflict.

According to deep space calculation models, for low-level carbon-based life forms like Earth, the only options when faced with a nuclear bomb are passive defense or waiting to die.

It couldn't have predicted that these insects would use a world-destroying bomb as an engine, directly propelling a ten-kilometer-long solid iron mountain into it!

"Activate the secondary gun matrix! Intercept! Intercept it!" The alien commander issued the order to the entire ship using high-frequency neural waves.

On the belly of the capital ship, hundreds of secondary guns fired simultaneously. Dense beams of energy rained down on the oncoming flagship wreckage.

But it had no effect.

Although the ten-kilometer-long flagship was an empty shell, its mass was undeniable. Add to that the immense gravitational acceleration provided by the thirty-six nuclear warheads, and this simple physical impact, in a vacuum, would have transformed it into an indestructible solid meteorite.

Nearly.

Two thousand meters, one thousand meters, five hundred meters.

They collided with a deafening roar!

There was no sound, only a blinding burst of high-dimensional sparks erupting from the vacuum.

The ten-kilometer-long wreckage of the Pangu flagship slammed head-on into the front of the three-kilometer-long capital ship in the most primitive, violent, and savage manner.

The capital ship's shields, which had just been destroyed in a gravitational backlash, had not yet had time to recover.

The flagship's massive, pointed bow seemed to have crashed into a lump of soft mud. The special armor on the front of the capital ship, tens of meters thick, was smashed into a terrifying crater hundreds of meters deep under this immense physical pressure.

Metal shattered and twisted. Numerous deep-space pipelines burst on the spot.

The immense kinetic energy of the impact was directly transmitted to the stern of the capital ship, causing its core power engine to explode on the spot. The eerie blue engine flames instantly went out, and the entire warship was rendered paralyzed.

At the very moment the two giant ships collided and crushed each other.

Su Yuan's gaze was icy cold. He showed absolutely no attachment to the flagship, No. 001.

"Discard the shell!"

At Su Yuan's command, the thirty-six guide tubes firmly embedded in the flagship's spine on the chassis of the Devourer instantly retracted. At the same time, Li Daikui and the veterans outside the vehicle simultaneously broke open the manual locking mechanism.

Beneath the front of the Devourer, the rammed horn of the Abyss broke through the wall and protruded.

Using the aftershocks and recoil from the impact, the chariot shot out like a black dagger released from a bow, propelled from the raging inferno of the flagship's wreckage.

It moved so fast that it left a series of afterimages.

boom!

The ram of the Devourer precisely pierced through the armored outer wall of the command compartment of the capital ship, which had lost its shields and was already severely deformed.

The chariot, trailing sparks, charged directly into the core area of ​​the alien flagship.

Before the alien commander's compound eyes could recover from the shock of the impact, he saw a war chariot exuding a murderous aura come to a steady stop in the center of his command hall.

Before it could activate its defense robot...

The thirty-six dark gold conduits of the Devouring Wasteland Star Core Refining Furnace shot out once again like thirty-six hungry venomous snakes.

puff puff!

These conduits ignored the outer shell of the enemy reactor, penetrating directly inside and embedding themselves firmly into the core of the capital ship's high-dimensional deep-space reactor.

"Full power, plunder!"

Su Yuan slammed his hand on the control panel.

Boom! The immense high-dimensional energy within the enemy ship's reactor was forcibly extracted in an instant. This extraction was conceptual; not a single trace remained.

The surface of the Devourer's armor, having absorbed such pure high-dimensional energy, began to show breathtaking dark golden veins. The energy pool inside the vehicle was instantly stretched to overflowing.

The lights inside the command center were flashing wildly.

The alien commander let out a piercing mental roar, and its bony-spiky hand slammed down on the red button on the control panel.

That was a ship-wide self-destruct protocol. It wanted to drag these Earth bugs down with it.

But the hand never managed to press down.

Su Yuan had already leaped off the vehicle's roof armor at some point. He moved with lightning speed, his right hand gripping the Blade of Judgment tightly.

The blade traced an extremely restrained gray-white blade aura in the vacuum.

This blade of energy ignored physical distance and struck directly at the causal line of the alien commander who was attempting to initiate a self-destruct sequence.

The command was cut off.

The blade's momentum hadn't subsided; following its ethereal trajectory, it swept across the alien commander's massive body.

There was no blood splattering.

Under the rule of concept erasure, the higher-dimensional body was instantly reduced to a fine layer of ash, which was immediately sucked away by the ventilation system in the command cabin. A swift and decisive kill.

The surroundings were eerily quiet.

In space, the remaining thirty-six cruisers witnessed the entire process of the flagship being smashed and the commander being instantly killed.

On the probe, the divine fluctuations of "absolute definition of rules" emanating from the Devourer caused the threat assessment of the alien system to skyrocket.

They came to reap the benefits of backward civilizations, not to provoke a high-dimensional killing god whose true nature is unknown.

Without any hesitation, these alien ships even abandoned their plans to encircle and blockade Earth. All the warships glowed with a blinding, spatially distorting light.

They activated spatial warp and escaped.

In the vacuum of near-Earth orbit, only a pile of wreckage and a black tank hovering there remained.

The beautiful blue arc of the Earth quietly shone beneath the chariot.

Inside the Desolate Wasteland train carriage.

After the prolonged pressure and gravitational stress were relieved, Li Daikui and the other veterans felt as if all their bones had been drained. They supported each other and collapsed onto the metal deck.

A hoarse laugh escaped someone's lips. Then came unrestrained, hysterical laughter. Laughter born of the relief of survival.

But Su Yuan's expression remained tense at the control panel.

He stared coldly at the star map on the screen. Those that had just run away were nothing more than a pack of scouts. The real deep-space mothership, Starlink, was a terrifying entity so large it could obscure even the stars themselves.

There are 29 days left until we arrive on Earth.

The countdown is not over yet.

In this brief and oppressive silence.

Suddenly, an extremely piercing and abrupt metallic tearing sound came from the rear of the Devourer vehicle.

"Clang—Snap!"

That was the sound of heavy metal breaking.

Su Yuan suddenly turned around.

Those fourteen heavy metal pins, which he had just welded shut with his own hands and were strong enough to withstand the bombardment of an antimatter cannon, were being broken inch by inch from inside the isolation chamber by a monstrous force that was completely inhuman and even incompatible with machinery.

The flying pins slammed onto the deck, sending sparks flying.

The heavy hatch of Module Zero, labeled Absolute Zero, emitted a teeth-grinding scraping sound. It was slowly torn open by an unstoppable force, leaving a crack of a dozen centimeters.

A hand, deathly pale, emerged from the crack.

The back of the hand was covered with bizarre patterns where dark blue data streams and dark red deep space veins intertwined and tore at each other.

That hand clung tightly to the edge of the door frame. The fingernails even dug into the high-strength Pangu armor plating.
