Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

The sudden appearance of the Torrential Rain near the Destroyer immediately alerted the pirates who had intended to stir up trouble.

But they were already headed towards Chen Ming’s side, making it impossible to turn back in time.

The eight Terminator Unmanned Fighters on the Torrent Level became red meteors, charging directly at the Pirate Fleet.

Following them, three more waves of Terminator Fighters appeared, totaling twenty-four fighters entering extreme overload mode. They flew toward the pirates, bringing an aura of dread and collided with their ships.

In less than thirty seconds, counting the time it took for the fighters to reach them,

a Pirate Fleet that boasted over thirty ships, including three Destroyers, vanished within the Superspace.

He Gu’s action to contact the captain paused just now, and upon confirming Chen Ming had completely settled the matter, he couldn’t help but say, ”That was fast.”

Chen Ming turned and said, ”I feel that if you acted directly, you wouldn’t be slow either.”

”But I generally prefer to handle things in ways more typical of ordinary people.”

He Gu picked up the terminal and once again told the captain, ”No need to enter combat readiness; connect to the Superspace communication system and report to the nearest government.”

”The nearest government... oh, that’s the Star Realm Capital over there. Just tell them we’re from the Fourteenth Legion.”

The captain soon received a response from the local government department.

They would come over to handle the matters here later.

That leaves nothing else here then.

”Let’s go.”

Under He Gu’s command, the Destroyer’s captain ignored the debris drifting in Superspace and continued along the channel, heading to the Star Realm Capital.

And shortly afterward, they reached the scheduled position, activated the Superspace Navigation Engine, and left Superspace.

The Destroyer and four guarding Frigates appeared on the edge of the Capital Star System of the Beinu Star Realm.

Through the ship’s sensors, Chen Ming could already see the Star Gate situated inside the Star System.

And after the five ships accelerated again, they approached the interior of the Star System.

However, at this moment, the Star Gate remained calm and had not activated. Through the circular framework, the stars on the other side were visible.

Thus, the ship did not approach the Star Gate but instead circled around into the Capital Star System of the Beinu Star Realm and headed for the Space Station located on the colony orbit of the Beinu Star Realm Government Headquarters.

The ship landed at the Space Station’s port.

After landing, Chen Ming discovered that the situation here was somewhat better than he imagined.

At least the Space Station was teeming with security personnel everywhere, and various security measures permeated the entire space station.

Even though Chen Ming and He Gu had already stated their Fourteenth Legion identity upon docking, they still underwent a wave of random inspection upon landing at the Space Station.

And during the ship’s resupply, they encountered a second wave.

It seems the Capital of the Beinu Star Realm is not a place suitable for outsiders to linger now.

After the ship resupply was completed, and a simple inspection was done, the ship launched again, arriving near the Star Gate and stopping on the edge of the gigantic structure.

And just as the ship arrived,

the long-dormant Star Gate finally began to operate.

Standing outside the dorm, near the starboard windows of the ship, observing the Star Gate, He Gu said to Chen Ming, who was also there observing the specific structure of the Star Gate, ”Just in time.”

The devices on the Star Gate continually sent energy towards the internal ring structure.

A layer of stunning mirror-like film began to coalesce from the inner circle towards the center of the ring, curtain-like, covering half the universe in Chen Ming’s eyes.

Although Chen Ming had observed the Star Gate activation several times from afar, it’s only up close that one can perceive the awe of this colossal human-made structure.

When the mirror-like film completely gathers, entirely masking the starry sky on the other side,

the previously serene mirror surface suddenly rippled like water,

Normally, ripples on a water surface extend a few meters to ten meters before vanishing.

Yet, the ripples on this activatable Star Gate reach a scope of even over ten thousand meters.

But even a ripple of over ten thousand meters diameter only occupies a fifth of the entire Star Gate’s area.

Moreover, around this huge ripple, the number of ripples of varying sizes is continuously increasing, likening the Star Gate to a pond during a rainstorm.

At the peak of these stirring ripples, the Fourteenth Legion Fleet manifested in the Star Gate.

Two ships specially transformed by the Fourteenth Legion, Offensive Level and Legion Level, were situated at the fleet’s forefront, emerging from the Star Gate.

And thousands of Cruisers led countless Destroyer escort squadrons closely following out from the Star Gate.

Vast in scale, majestic in momentum.

Chen Ming suddenly realized that He Gu’s previous assertion of ”soon” was not about the Fourteenth Legion’s rapid enhancement of control over the Beinu Star Realm.

But rather that the Fourteenth Legion was finally soon arriving.

With the Fourteenth Legion Headquarters Fleet’s arrival, the two of them could hitch a ride on the Star Gate.

Chen Ming initially thought the Fourteenth Legion would dispatch someone to stabilize the situation first.

But there’s no issue with this.

The chaos in Beinu he had sensed during their journey.

A place like this, deeply manipulated by Zuo Jing, where the interim government can only ensure personal safety, struggles on other fronts.

Only absolute force can truly impose order.
