The Last Sentinel

Captains of the 2.0 spaceship, what you said is true.

The 1.0 chainsaw sword, capable of cleaving ships, cannot penetrate the 2.0 plasma shield.

"Ding! Machine Soul notification: Your chainsaw sword's durability has reached its limit!"

"Ding! Mech Soul notification: Your Ship-Slaying Sword's durability has reached its limit!"

Inside the meteorite, the [Crimson Destruction] raised its hands. Both the chainsaw sword and the ship-slaying blade were now mottled and broken, with huge cracks and fissures covering the entire bodies of these two terrifying war blades, each two hundred meters long.

【Red Iron Fist】The green-skinned orc machine spirit, gesturing wildly and roaring excitedly, "Keep going! Why stop?! Kill another eight hundred, no! Seven hundred! And I'll level up! Then I'll unlock my warship talent skill tree, and you'll all know how powerful I am! I'll be stronger than the Flying Dutchman and the Black Pearl!"

The fat rabbit mech nudged the green-skinned creature, "My weapon durability is all gone, so what are you going to do about it! Besides, the enemy has a 2.0 civilization's plasma shield; the mass density of a 1.0 civilization's weapon can't break through a 2.0 civilization's shield!"

The green-skinned orc roared, "If your weapon's durability's running out, then clench your fists, swing them, and smash this fragile shield to pieces!"

The fat rabbit said, "Smash them my ass! The ones that follow are all cunning, they won't be easy to kill! Boss, let's call it a day! While they're stuck here, let's get out of the asteroid belt!"

Ye Feng calmly said, "I think there are even more ships outside the ring belt! Our weapons are all worn out now, and if we go out, we'll be caught by the enemy! We can survive for a while by hiding in the meteorite."

Time passed second by second, and Ye Feng and his group, hidden in the meteorite, remained still.

The more than one hundred spaceships exposed in the middle of the asteroid belt were in a panic.

After all, the 2.0 civilization's most powerful weapon is its plasma shield, which consumes an enormous amount of energy. This is why the 2.0 civilization's spaceship did not activate the shield immediately after entering; it's too expensive, it's just burning money!

The biggest drawback of the 2.0 plasma shield is that once it is deployed and a plasma defense field is created, it cannot move and must remain at the same coordinates. If there is any movement, the field will break immediately, and the plasma shield will enter a long cooldown period.

没有等离子防护罩的2.0飞船和1.0文明飞船区别不大，参考陨石环星带0.1秒内就能摧毁併吞噬一艘1.0文明飞船，那幺2.0文明飞船的陨落时间也不会超过0.1秒！

More than a hundred spaceships looked like a dense, overwhelming mass.

If the other party really makes a move, they can wipe everyone present clean in less than twenty seconds!

At this moment, saying that we should all attack together and that we don't believe he can kill us all is pure nonsense.

If it weren't for the plasma shields of the three 2.0 spaceships, each of these spaceships would be faster than the last!

Compared to Ye Feng's dilemma, each of these spaceships knew better than anyone else that they couldn't hold out for long.

At the rate at which the plasma shields of the three spaceships are consumed, the shields will disappear in a maximum of five hours.

At that time, everyone will face an encirclement and annihilation from an unseen enemy.

At this moment, the only thing that can save the spaceship is the Billy King.

Onboard the Billy King, Captain Billy spoke into the communicator, "Guys, although our Billy King is also a Level 2.0 civilization ship, we haven't brought many colorless crystal energy modules for this trip. At most, we can only activate the protective shield for one hour, which isn't enough to ensure all your ships safely leave the asteroid belt!"

The red-haired first mate said, "You've now entered the very center of the asteroid belt. If we adopt a strategy of one ship going first and the others following, the AI ​​calculates that fewer than thirty ships will survive to leave the belt; all the others will be destroyed!"

The white-haired first mate said, "Don't even think about dragging the [Billy King] down with us. There's absolutely no way we'll enter the circumpolar asteroid belt! That guy is truly terrifying!"

The Billy King floated at the entrance, refusing to enter the ring of meteorites.

They were all independent space pirates, not really a brotherhood, let alone a force that was relentlessly advancing and unyielding.

At this moment, the more than one hundred spaceships inside were plunged into an unprecedented despair.

I'm not afraid of death's slaughter, but I'm afraid of death falling silent. This feeling of being infinitely close to death is the most torturous.

Soon, a captain contacted the "Billy King," saying, "Captain Billy, could you please turn on the full-frequency broadcast? We want to talk to him. We're willing to pay a bail bond, just to have him release us!"

Billy said, "Can't you talk to him yourselves? Why bother with me!"

The other party said, "We've used all our energy to maintain the protective shield; where would we find the extra energy to activate full-frequency broadcasting? Please help, Captain Billy!"

Billy sighed. "Alright, I'll try and see if I can get in touch with them! [Billy King] AI, activate full-band broadcast announcement mode!"

The Billy King's full-band announcement mode is now enabled!

Billy spoke gently, "Greetings, esteemed unknown powerhouse. I am the captain of the 2.0 civilization's spaceship, [Billy King]. I did not enter the ring-shaped asteroid belt, nor do I intend to be your enemy. My friends asked me to act as peacemakers. There may have been some misunderstanding between you and my friends. These friends have no interest in the [Heart of the Three-Body Problem]. They were misled and deceived into becoming your enemy. They do not wish to be enemies with a powerhouse like you. If possible, we can make a deal. We are willing to pay a ransom that will satisfy you in exchange for our lives. What do you think of this deal?"

After the announcement was broadcast, the screen remained silent, with no response.

Just when Billy was feeling hopeless, a cold, deep male voice appeared and said, "Don't talk, do it. Pay the ransom first, then I'll release them."

Billy, as if grasping at a straw, hurriedly said, "No problem, what kind of ransom do you want? Energy crystals, a spaceship, or slaves? Just name it, and as long as we have it, we'll make sure you're satisfied!"

The cold, deep male voice spoke even faster, "I thought you were going to give me everything, but it turns out it's a choice. Your ransom is utterly insincere; we might as well not do this deal!"

Billy gritted his teeth and said, "My friend, you want it all? That's a rather unseemly thing to do. Looking across the Grand Line, ransoms are usually a choice between three or five options. I've already been very generous by giving you three choices. If you insist on continuing this stalemate, the consequences will be quite unpleasant for everyone!"

"The Grand Line is an important shipping route with many spaceships. The secret that you possess the Heart of the Three-Body Problem has been spread throughout the entire route."

"More ships are approaching this way. If it's a large caravan's escort fleet, they won't be as reasonable as we are. They're equipped with offensive weapons, especially the weapons of 2.0 civilization ships, enough to capture you and destroy your mech and ship!"

A deep voice came from behind him, "So, Mr. Billy, are you threatening me? I'm sorry, but I don't like being threatened. Negotiations have broken down. Let's continue this standoff!"

Billy said, "Friend, leave some room for maneuver in everything you do; why be so ruthless?"

The deep voice said, "I am not your friend, and I never befriend heretics. As for exterminating them? No, we call it a purge."

Billy clenched his fist and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Cleanse? Very well, dare to reveal your name?"

He said in a deep voice, "Just call me Mad Dog, that's what everyone who knows me calls me."

"Mad dog!" Billy gritted his teeth. "Very good, truly insane! I! Like! It!"
