Poverty makes me capable of anything.

At this moment, the spaceship An Ran was on suddenly issued an alarm signal.

"what happened?"

Simon pulled the driver back.

The pilot shouted, "There's a crack in the deck of the spaceship!"

"If it wasn't attacked, why are there cracks?" Simon was taken aback.

He wanted to ask something more, but suddenly a black crack appeared right in front of the spaceship.

The front part of the cockpit happened to overlap with the crack and was directly "eaten" away. The people who were standing there didn't even have time to say a word before they disappeared into thin air, leaving not even a trace.

The air in the cockpit was rapidly expelled.

Simon's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Retreat! Seal the cockpit and engage the co-pilot's cockpit!"

The spaceship was immediately filled with terror.

An Ran made her way to the dining area amidst the shoving.

Chapter 30 A huge pot was placed on his head

Anxiety permeated the entire spaceship.

Apart from Simon, who was in charge of the ship, no one shouted.

But the cacophony of whispers, mixed together like a chaotic market, only made people more agitated.

"It's over."

For the past minute, Luther, who was sitting next to Enron, had been repeating this phrase over and over again.

His previous optimism vanished completely under the threat of death.

Although Luther had anticipated that the operation would be dangerous, he never imagined that the danger would exceed his expectations.

They saw it very clearly.

Those spatial rifts could appear anywhere, and once they appeared, even those experts who had advanced to the Star Slayer level would find it difficult to withstand them.

Not to mention these spaceships, whose strength is even weaker than the Starkiller's body.

Once selected, the spaceship will be immediately torn to pieces by the chaotic space.

If only the cockpit was cut off like before, it's a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

"Don't worry, don't worry, we'll be back near the exit of the Star Road in five minutes."

Having arranged everything else, Simon walked into the dining area and loudly calmed the restless crowd.

The situation is already critical enough; further panic will not be a good thing.

However, everything Simon did had little effect.

The power of the Crimson King set the polluted star path on a rampage.

The raging flames caused the outer layer of material in the stable space to gradually disintegrate, and once the disintegration process began, it could never be reversed.

This is something that cannot be avoided.

Anran's restraints could only prevent the Crimson Lotus King from taking action against these people, but she could not control the parasitic beasts.

"Only by letting this disaster ferment will those outside realize the plans of the pioneers."

There will always be sacrifices.

The gray contaminated areas on the outer wall of the star path also began to undulate at this moment.

If spatial rifts are like randomly selecting an unlucky soul for execution, then the enormous tentacles formed by the parasitic beasts are like fixed turrets blocking the retreat route.

Either destroy all the turrets, or carefully avoid them.

There is no third option.

"Commander, all ships have begun their return journey."

The commander-in-chief nodded: "I understand. You should leave now as well."

"And what about you, Commander?" The man who came to report was taken aback.

"I will stay here to keep an eye on this monster until you all leave."

"But……"

"There's no 'but' about it." The commander-in-chief nodded. "Let's not waste any more time, let's get going."

The man had no choice but to leave.

A glint of light shone in the commander-in-chief's eyes.

In fact, he noticed something unusual.

Something was glowing on the fire demon's shoulder.

So what exactly is it?

The commander-in-chief licked his lips; perhaps he could give it a try.

He couldn't wait to improve his strength.

If he were more capable, why would he be sent to such a place to do such a thankless task?

It's probably because I'm bad at cooking.

Now he's all alone here, and he can do whatever he wants.

The vibrations in the space became increasingly severe.

Seeing that the Crimson King's attention was no longer on him, the Commander-in-Chief could no longer stand still.

"We can't delay any longer."

He slowly flew towards the Crimson Lotus King.

He could sense the power of the Crimson Lotus King, but he also had sufficient means to protect himself.

That's why the commander-in-chief dared to go up and provoke the tiger.

Now, he is only five kilometers away from the King of Crimson Lotus.

He felt the heat of the flames.

Just as they were about to take another step forward, the Crimson Lotus King, who had been motionless, suddenly turned his head.

"..."

The commander-in-chief stopped.

His gaze met that of the Crimson Lotus King.

Those eyes were filled with bloodlust and killing intent.

As if it were coalescing into a deadly weapon, the commander-in-chief's heart clenched.

We can't go there.

A voice inside him warned him that if he took another step, he would be torn apart, even if he had the means to save his life.

Ultimately, the commander-in-chief wavered.

He quickly retreated to where he had initially stood, and only then did the oppressive feeling disappear.

"That was close."

The commander-in-chief wiped the sweat from his brow. He looked at the demon engulfed in flames ahead and felt a sense of familiarity about it.

But the problem is that he had never actually seen this monster before.

If he had seen it before, how could he possibly have no recollection of it?

After all, the scene was truly impressive.

"If you didn't see it yourself, then you must have heard it from someone else."

The commander-in-chief frowned.

Did you hear that from someone else?

Was it mentioned in casual conversation or...?

At that moment, a sentence suddenly popped into the Commander-in-Chief's mind.

He realized it.

"The prophecy, it's that prophecy!"

The commander-in-chief's expression changed drastically.

The Crimson Lotus King, reborn from purgatory, will surely scorch the starry sky and become the greatest enemy of the Eternal Star Path.

This monster, engulfed in flames, truly lives up to its name, the Crimson King.

He didn't understand what burning the starry sky meant before, but now he does.

It's trying to burn down this star path!

It was because of the previous rumors that the Crimson King had died in battle that he hadn't considered this possibility at all.

"This is a monster I can't handle at all." The commander-in-chief was pale.

If the star path collapses, all those left inside will die.

It's laughable that he was just thinking of investigating the Crimson Lotus King; he must have been asking for trouble.

With that thought in mind, the commander-in-chief had no intention of continuing to watch.

He shook his head and was about to turn and leave.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of a gap in the flames.

Through that gap, the Commander-in-Chief finally saw clearly what was the glittering thing on the Crimson King's shoulder.

"robot!?"
