Chapter 3384 - Untitled

The two of them rushed forward without caring about anything.

Every step had drained the strength in the deepest part of his muscles.

He had no time to consider what kind of dangers were lurking ahead of him, nor did he care about the shocking roars of Black Jack behind him.

The sprint of hundreds of meters had already exhausted them. They slipped and fell to the ground, unable to stand up anymore.

When they looked back, they found that Black Jack was still tied up by General Cooper. He extended one of his hands and manipulated countless tentacles to surge toward them.

Princess Summer unsheathed her saber and struggled to get up.

Theresa took a deep breath and shouted with all her strength, "I have Level 1 firepower control permissions. An alien life form has been discovered to have infiltrated the central area of the bridge. Kill it. Kill it however you can!"

Princess Summer looked at Theresa in surprise, not knowing what was wrong with her. Did she think that reciting the two hilarious spells would stop the enemy?

As he expected, the central area of the cockpit was indifferent. There was nothing but dead silence. The only sound was that of Black Jack's tentacles invading the pathway.

Desperation flashed in Theresa's eyes, only to be shattered by her stubbornness.

She shouted a second time, this time in the language of the world of magic that the boxing champion had taught her.

However, the central area of the cockpit was still silent. No sharp weapons were exposed.

"Teresa, what are you talking about?"

Princess Summer was confused. She felt that the familiar people around her—whether it was Black Jack or Theresa—had been changing and becoming unrecognizable since she came to the Blood Demon Sector. "Are you… summoning something?"

"Yes. Very powerful weapons must've been hidden here. It's a pity that I don't know how to summon them!"

Theresa gritted her teeth and punched the ground hard, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

Seeing that Black Jack's hundreds of tentacles were passing through the pathway and invading the central area of the bridge like hundreds of boas, Theresa had no choice but to shout her command one last time. "A foreign creature has invaded the bridge. Jade is in an emergency. I have Level 1 firepower control permissions. I demand to take over the defense system of the bridge—kill it, however you can!"

An unbelievable scene took place.

Theresa was already heavily wounded. Blood was all over her body and arms, flowing from her wrists to her fists.

He had just smashed the ground brutally. Blood was spluttering everywhere, only to be absorbed by the silver sand-like ground without leaving any traces.

After absorbing her drop of blood, the central area of the bridge seemed to have undergone a complicated and meticulous authentication. An invisible breeze blew over, and the central area of the bridge was suddenly filled with vitality.

At this moment, several tentacles had crawled through the pathway into the central area of the bridge and stabbed at Theresa and Princess Summer brutally.

Shua!

Hundreds of red lasers flashed around the pathway at the same time. They interweaved into an impenetrable 3D grid and tore apart all the tentacles that were invading the pathway!

The red laser blinked.

Hundreds of hideous tentacles immediately froze.

Very soon, the surface of the crystal suit was ripped apart into countless pieces of meat, which fell to the ground and wriggled slowly like earthworms that were struggling to survive.

The tentacles that flooded into the central area of the bridge had been cut off, too. The ends of the tentacles were still crawling toward Theresa and Princess Summer under the control of the primitive nerves, hissing nonstop.

Holding back her disgust, Princess Summer chopped them into pieces before she sat on the ground and took a long breath in relief.

Theresa stared at Black Jack outside the pathway.

Black Jack stared at Theresa, who was in the central area of the bridge, in astonishment, too.

The two of them stared at each other in midair. The sparks from their eyes seemed to be burning the minced meat on the ground into ash.

In the next second, the liquid metal around the pathway surged up slowly. The pathway was closed and sealed, turning into solid walls.

Their gazes were separated.

Theresa and Princess Summer had successfully entered the central area of the bridge, but Black Jack and the rest of the captives were locked outside.

It should be safe for now.

Theresa grunted and fell to the ground. Cold sweat was all over her body. She felt that her stomach and her stomach were cramping. The wretched devils were causing trouble in her stomach again. She was falling and pulling. It was so painful.

However, her gamble paid off!

Seeing the incredulous look on Princess Summer's face, Theresa grinned and gave her a brilliant smile.

She did not know how to explain it to Princess Summer.

After all, according to her experience piloting a starship in the Pangu Universe, such a super large-scale planetary-level warship, or even a stellar-level warship, would certainly boast advanced self-navigation and attack systems.

In extremely special emergencies, such as when the starship was seriously damaged, where the captain, the chief officer, and the fire control officer were all killed, or when the enemy had invaded the core of the bridge during the fierce boarding battles and was about to execute the decapitation strategy, or when the starship was invaded by foreign species that did not belong to the universe, the junior officers were entitled to live a more advanced life temporarily and order the automatic attack and defense system to fire at full power.

Although Jade had been hibernating for thousands of years, according to the tests just now, part of its functions were still intact. At the very least, the central area of the bridge could be woken up. Otherwise, Kelly would not have gone through so much trouble to leave the legacy of the Crimson Queen.

But it was obvious that Black Jack did not belong to the universe, or even the universe that Theresa could understand. He was an out-and-out intruder.

Therefore, Theresa made a bold assumption that, if the central area of the bridge could detect the existence of Black Jack, an abnormal life form, and if her level-1 firepower control permissions could be verified, she would be able to command the defense force of the central area of the bridge to take it down!

After all, although he only had the permissions of the lowest level of firepower control, there should be no one more qualified than him on Jade right now.

Then, as long as the artificial intelligence controlling the starship believed that the intrusion of Black Jack, an abnormal life form, was an emergency, it would be able to bypass the restriction of the clearance level and take control of the entire Emerald directly!

Hehe. In such a sense, Black Jack had done him a great favor. The meticulous scheme that he had devised with the help of Grand Monarch Cooper, who was like a mantis stalking a cicada, had all been for nothing in the end. Theresa, the cannon fodder king of the sea of stars, had benefited in vain!
