Pepper's defensive energy barrier was not the only spell that had been enchanted in the spacecraft they were in. Their engines had been roaring with the power of mana boosting them through, burning its cerulean space fuel with more efficiency than any other known possible engine in their world.

It sped through the barriers while Peppers collected the metal corpses for the System to analyse but she never forgets the current objective of hijacking the maximum security prison spaceship. The moment they reached close enough to one of the prison spaceships, Peppers instantly motioned her hand like a gun and shouted bam!

Instead of an explosion that would ensue based on the Demonic Sage Queen's nature, the spacecraft they were on suddenly got way faster as if they were being sucked into something. It was then they realised that the ship was magically being connected to the main ship like some slime fuse with another slime to become a bigger slime. The only difference was that the metaphorical slimes were solid matter and people who were watching the spell at work were truly flabbergasted by this hijacking method these resistance forces had been using.

In fact, they were stunned how a series of mechas could be destroyed and subsequently disappearing miniature black holes appeared out of nowhere to suck them away from their vicinity. Their AI intelligence sensors instantly went into max confusion overdrive citing critical errors in their analysis because there was nothing within their analytical parameters. Both crews were shouting at each other, demanding if they knew anything or any information on the current hijacker.

However, what they had were only mere speculations and nothing else. Captain Farlinger of the United Federations immediately demanded the prison spaceship to go to the highest tier of alert judging by the damage the spacecraft had done and also mainly due to the fact that it had crashed into their ship instead.

"They are here for the political VIP! We should move quickly to block them from aiding their escape!" The officers shouted and Farlinger instantly authorised the use of Silver Soldiers, a series of AI Humanoid War Robots to search and destroy the hijackers.

"Sir, are you sure?! The Silver Soldiers may be operational but technically, they are still in their final testing stage and we cannot guarantee the efficacy of them not hurting the VIP prisoners!" The technical officer shouted but Farlinger did not care.

"Right now, those hijackers are a threat that is beyond our comprehension. Killing them alongside the VIP prisoners is the least of our priorities. At the very most, we will tell the public that Xeon Union had prompted this hijack since our prison spaceship had been compromised." Farlinger smirked but at that moment, they received a transmission from Xeon Union Captain Coalran demanding an explanation.

"There is a breach at my prison spaceship! Why are you not taking care of our flank when I am losing pilots from that suicide spacecraft attack!?" Coalran exclaimed and showed them CCTV footage of a large explosion near their hangar bay, and an unknown spacecraft was seen parking right at the breached area.

"How am I supposed to know if they were able to slip in undetected? That fucking spacecraft had merged- what the hell am I saying?! That thing! It has invaded us as well and we are dealing with it as we speak!" Farlinger lost his temper seeing that a spacecraft was able to pass through the senses of the best technology the United Federation was proud of.

Radar Detection.

"You better make sure that our VIPs are still intact or else, the Xeon Union will declare this as further aggression against our sovereignty!" Coalran blasted through the intercoms and shut down all further communications.

"At this rate, Silver Soldiers are not the only ones that would be sortied." Farlinger scratched his neck feeling very irritated by the situation. As much as he wanted the prisoners the Xeon Union had in possession, it seemed as if it would not likely be the case as the Xeon Union had the very same version of Silver Soldiers at their behest. The Black Immortals. Their AI programming was ruthless and proven to be efficient killing robots. As much as he wished to boast the Silver Soldiers, they were basically copied inferior versions of the Black Immortals because of their lack of expertise in that particular field.

And that was the very reason why Captain Farlinger and the United Federations wanted the prisoners in Xeon Union spaceships. As long as they could possess one of their prisoners, the Silver Soldiers would eventually be the main fighting force for the United Federations and possibly the backbone of their future army structure.

But for now, Farlinger had to make sure that he kept his bargain of protecting the VIP prisoners that he was holding. If the hijackers were really coming for them, the entire prison force would make sure that they would not survive. After all, they were a few hundred strong while the hijackers were merely a handful.

In the meantime, Rei was breathing as hard as he could to keep himself calm. Sebastia already threw him a battle vest for him to wear as well as a custom made rifle from Jin's store. It was powered with inscription charms making them user friendly for a non cultivator like Rei.

"I only did a few shooting lessons with the werecats. There is no way I am able to-" Before Rei could finish his excuse, Sebastia immediately slapped him. And as Rei was about to speak another word, the female minotaur slapped on his other cheek and pointed her finger at him, making him listen to her instead.

"One. This is your fight for your family. Two, You are definitely dying. Three, remember you are contracted to the System, even if you die, you will revive back again. Four, do not waste the System's resources unnecessarily. Five, get your guts out of your body and start walking. Are you going to be out beaten by a teenager wielding explosive magic that could destroy the entire world?"

"Yes to the last one…" Rei thought to himself but somehow Sebastia slapped him again and told him to do things without thinking.

"Get out, and prove to us that you are not just a wuss but someone worthy of Jin's promise," Sebastia said once more and told him to get out of the ship. As Peppers was already blasting a few of the metal doors that were shut on them the moment they entered, Rei swallowed his anxiety and pushed himself to be beside Peppers, trying to be as alert as he could be.

In the meantime, Sebastia reequipped herself from the luggage she brought with her. How she managed to smuggle in did not require any story especially when she was wearing a storage ring. But the reason she was staying behind for a while longer was that she wished to honour the pilot that risked his life to bring them to their destination.

"System, mind helping me?" The minotaur asked and the System instantly fulfilled that wish while deducting a fraction of System points that would have normally cost a lot more for that kind of request. The only answer she received from the System was that Peppers had paid the rest while Sebastia smiled weakly as she prepared herself to walk into the deadly battlefield.
