Chapter 242 Spatial Slicing, Pulling Teeth from a Tiger's Mouth
Having successfully escaped the interior of the Void Temple, Su Chen did not linger and immediately rushed towards the vast universe outside the temple.
He knew that every second was crucial.
Although he successfully made "Shadow" the scapegoat.
But the members of the Star Eater Cult weren't fools. Once they calmed down, or after questioning "Shadow," they would soon realize something was wrong.
The window of opportunity left for him is very short.
As soon as he broke through the energy barrier of the temple, the scene before him confirmed Su Chen's judgment.
The outer space outside the temple has been completely sealed off by a massive fleet.
Hundreds of warships, gleaming with a cold metallic luster, surrounded the airspace like a school of sharks.
Although Su Chen's "data poisoning" caused chaos and paralysis inside most of the warships.
But their dark, gaping muzzles still exude a chilling aura of power.
Outside the blockade of these warships lay an even more dangerous scene.
That was a spatial storm caused by the overload of the "dimensional stability anchor"!
Countless tiny spatial rifts, like black lightning, raged and disappeared in the void.
These fissures are extremely unstable, ranging in size from several kilometers long to thinner than a hair, and are filled with destructive dimensional turbulence.
Any substance that gets caught in it will be torn into its most basic particles in an instant.
This chaotic spatial storm is both a dead end and Su Chen's only way out.
Trying to force your way through the fleet's blockade will only result in being targeted by concentrated fire.
However, if they can successfully traverse this spatial storm, they will be able to completely escape the pursuit.
"The Heart of the Prophet, activate!"
Su Chen activated his S-level superpower without hesitation.
Before his eyes, the whole world instantly changed.
The raging spatial storm was no longer chaotic in his eyes, but had become a three-dimensional maze composed of countless "lines".
The red line represents an absolute path to death; once touched, it will be torn apart by the power of space.
The yellow line represents a danger zone, filled with uncertainty.
Only a few extremely thin, ever-changing green lines are the only path to safety!
"This is it!"
Su Chen's gaze locked onto a rapidly forming green path. His will clone transformed into a phantom and precisely cut into it with the slightest error!
His figure moved like a top dancer amidst countless deadly spatial rifts.
Several times, a huge crack several kilometers long brushed past him.
That terrifying suction force almost tore his will into pieces.
But he always manages to narrowly avoid it in the last millisecond by using the repulsive force generated by another crack.
The whole process was extremely thrilling.
The requirements for computing power and response speed are incredibly high!
Just as he was about to cross the entire storm belt and see the safe and dark universe outside.
His gaze suddenly locked onto a small warship not far away.
It was a reconnaissance ship belonging to the Star Eater Cult. Because it was relatively far away, it was less affected by the "data poisoning" and was currently trying to escape the chaotic battlefield.
"It feels like I'm missing out if I just leave like this."
A bold idea popped into Su Chen's mind.
"Since we're already here, how can we not take some sheep with us? It would be a waste of all the trouble I've gone through."
He wanted more than just escape.
He wants to seize the greatest profits!
"Prophet! Use the Reaper's emergency avoidance protocol to send a fake warp command to that reconnaissance ship! Target coordinates: spatial rift 3.7 kilometers ahead of me!"
"Command generated, sending..."
The next second, the alarms on the bridge of the reconnaissance ship, which was cautiously retreating, suddenly went off like crazy.
"Warning! A highest-priority 'emergency jump' command issued by the flagship has been detected! Execution will be forced in three seconds!"
The captain was a low-ranking officer, only at the planetary level, and he was completely dumbfounded by this sudden and inescapable order.
"Leapfrog? Where to leapfrog? That's a space storm zone!"
But he had no choice at all.
The three-second countdown ended, and the reconnaissance ship's engines were forcibly started.
The ship jolted violently and charged straight toward the wrong coordinates, which were filled with the aura of death!
Meanwhile, Su Chen was already waiting for his "prey" at the edge of that huge spatial rift.
"Now!"
The moment the reconnaissance ship plunged into the spatial rift, Su Chen moved!
Instead of forcibly pulling the warship, he cleverly fused his divine will and divine power with the cutting force of the spatial rift!
Like a highly skilled surgeon, he used the spatial rift as a "scalpel" to precisely cut an "incision" along the edge of the reconnaissance ship's energy shield.
This slit did not cut through the warship itself, but rather severed the connection between the warship and the "real space" in which it was located!
"Come here...!"
Su Chen let out a low roar and suddenly pulled with his willpower!
That unfortunate reconnaissance ship was like a fruit plucked from a tree, along with the small patch of space around it that had been "cut off".
He was forcibly dragged into the dimensional turbulence and disappeared along with Su Chen into this chaotic void!
Someone in the Star Eater Cult fleet witnessed this horrifying scene.
"Report! 'Scorpion Seven'... has vanished! It rushed into the spatial rift and was... swallowed by the turbulence!"
In their view, it was just an unfortunate accident caused by chaos.
No one would have imagined that a starship weighing tens of thousands of tons would be "stolen" right in front of them, like a chicken!
……
Millions of kilometers away from the battlefield, in a silent void.
Space distorted for a moment, and Su Chen's will clone staggered out, his face somewhat pale.
That "pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth" just now must have taken a huge toll on his mental and physical health.
Behind him, the "Scorpion VII" reconnaissance ship was also thrown out of the dimensional turbulence.
The ship's surface was covered with scratches caused by spatial energy, making it look extremely dire.
Su Chen took a breath and immediately began a rapid scan of the warship.
Soon, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
On this ship, he sensed a living life signal, though the person was so frightened they were about to faint.
Based on the energy response, he should be a low-ranking deacon responsible for intelligence recording and paperwork.
"very good."
"Not only is the hardware included, but the 'user manual' is also included."
Su Chen looked at his spoils and was in a great mood.
With this unexpected joy, he quickly chose a direction and disappeared completely into the vast sea of stars.
