Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Repairing the Iron Ore No. and the Exoskeleton Armor requires time, and the robots that just appeared are already right in front of us.

Additionally, the three normally plant-covered areas have all opened up, and three brand-new giant mechanical bodies have crawled up from the space below, glaring fiercely.

Iron Ore No. struggles to deal with one under the condition of needing to rescue Chen Ming; there's absolutely no chance of victory against three.

Chen Ming knows he is now powerless to resist.

The only remaining possibility for escape, or rather the possibility Chen Ming was originally counting on, lies with Gamma Z.

Chen Ming has already given up struggling in action, allowing the robots to control him.

However, he has already communicated with Gamma Z through his consciousness, inquiring about the rescue that still hasn't arrived after so long: "What's going on?"

In pursuit of efficiency, Gamma Z directly showed Chen Ming a piece of text.

Chen Ming quickly skimmed through it, summarizing the specific situation in his mind.

At the same time as Gamma Z received Chen Ming's message, Dusk also posted a public call for help on their communication platform.

So the Alpha Dusk controlled by Chen Ming can openly justify teleporting there.

But the teleportation point deviated due to a high-energy level reaction within the Star System.

It couldn't teleport directly to Chen Ming's location, instead teleporting to the edge of the Star System.

When the Alpha Level Dusk attempted to enter the Star System, it was attacked by the Fourteenth Legion and is still being pursued.

Chen Ming frowned immediately, looking at that Refraction-Level controlled by the Alpha Level Dusk.

It's currently within the Star System where Chen Ming is located.

But it is also on the brink of collapse, with two Cruisers from the Fourteenth Legion pursuing it.

Forcing the Refraction out of the defensive line formed by the Dusk Fleet, pushing it into the corner of the battlefield.

And not far away, there's a fleet of more than ten thousand ships led by a total of seven Main Ships combined from both sides.

A brutal conflict is erupting beside the planet where Chen Ming is located.

At this moment, Gamma Z inserted a comment: "In a battle of this scale, any ship below Cruiser level has no chance of getting close."

"The only one capable of providing rescue is Refraction, but its situation is dire."

Chen Ming didn't need Gamma Z's reminder to know the urgency, and immediately interfaced the Refraction-Level into the spaceship he personally controlled, rather than relying on the Dusk individual's indirect control.

After a rapid expenditure of Spiritual Power, Chen Ming successfully took direct control of this Refraction-Level unmanned Cruiser.

During this period, his Spiritual Power had increased to a level capable of controlling a Cruiser.

And after controlling the Refraction, Chen Ming, risking premature exposure, directly repaired the ship in front of the two Fourteenth Legion Cruisers.

The entire Refraction restored to its original state in the blink of an eye.

But the two Cruisers from the Fourteenth Legion continued to attack the Refraction, ignoring what had just happened.

The communication requests sent by Refraction to them received no response whatsoever.

And the messages confirming identity and communication requests sent to the more distant two Offensive Level and one Legion Level ships from the Fourteenth Legion were like stones sinking into the sea, without any response.

Perhaps they blocked the signal, or perhaps they simply didn't care at all.

With no expression on his face, Chen Ming controlled the Refraction to pull back, withdrawing from the battle after forcing them back with an explosive attack aided by his repair ability.

Besides repairing the exterior of the ship, Chen Ming had also repaired the Teleportation Engine, speeding up the cooling of the Teleportation System.

He intended to immediately activate the Teleportation Engine, preparing to teleport directly and precisely to his position.

However, just as the Refraction's Teleportation Engine started up.

Those two Fourteenth Legion Cruisers immediately rushed up to block the Refraction.

But in the next moment, they suddenly accelerated and pulled away from the flank, without any intention to continue fighting the Refraction.

Yet behind them, a crimson Energy Bullet over three hundred meters long, like a dart, suddenly flew out from the main battlefield, heading towards the Refraction.

This was the last image Chen Ming saw from this Refraction.

If Chen Ming remembered correctly, this was the Energy Bullet fired by the Thermal Pulse Laser, the main weapon of the Offensive Level heavy battleship that left a significant mark in human pioneering history.

The next moment, the signal of the Refraction-Level was cut off.

Chen Ming simultaneously lost control of this Alpha Level Dusk.

Not only Chen Ming, even the Alpha Level Dusk controlling the Refraction didn't have time to react, not even a chance to repair.

"Huh."

Chen Ming had never expected that his hope for escape would ultimately be cut off by the Fourteenth Legion, by his own people.

He had no anger, no resentment, not a single emotional fluctuation at this moment.

This was his problem,

he shouldn't have held onto that slight possibility, letting the Refraction attempt to make contact with people from the Fourteenth Legion, resulting in him losing the chance to escape.

In matters of life and death, others are never to be trusted.

But for Chen Ming, there is still a chance to survive.

As long as he lives, there's always hope.

Chen Ming abandoned the idea of watching the battle scene through those scattered Dusk individuals under his control within the Star System.

He focused all his energy entirely on himself.

Being controlled by robots, he was taken to a room equipped with Spiritual Ability Devices.

The room's door was resealed, Chen Ming's Exoskeleton Armor was dismantled, and his Protective Suit was forcibly removed.

He was strapped down by several restraints on a device resembling an operating table.

At the same time, various devices for enhancing Spiritual Power in the surrounding rooms were activated together.

Although Chen Ming's body couldn't move, his Spiritual Power was highly active.

And the active Spiritual Power brought an ever-surging sense of danger.

The Spiritual Ability Device was operating.

Chen Ming saw a columnar object with green and black intermingling, resembling a medicine bottle with a slight curvature, being lifted by a mechanical arm of this operating table-like device and placed against his eye socket.

The pressed eye saw within the columnar object a soft, white, nerve-like structure with many branches gradually extending from the deepest part.

Like newly sprouted tender leaves, or like a plump, white worm.

It was as though an alarm sounded in Chen Ming's mind, the extreme sense of danger enveloped him completely.

But he could not escape the operating table now.

Guided solely by the instinctive, intense desire for the hope of survival, he did what he had to do.

The distorted patterns on the Delusion Stone Chen Ming always carried shimmered with an unprecedented brightness.

The ravings of countless madmen echoed in Chen Ming's ears, in his brain.

Chen Ming immediately suppressed the ravings he had already grown accustomed to.

But before his eyes, that soft, plump nerve had already curled up.

It seemed to have been affected by the Delusion Stone.

The sense of danger in his brain gradually diminished.

But at a certain moment of attenuation.

The part of the soft nerve connected to the end of the medicine bottle suddenly broke off on its own.

The remaining segment of the nerve drilled sharply into Chen Ming's eye socket.

Chen Ming instantly fell into a coma.

However, in that moment before losing consciousness.

He sensed that the sense of danger did not continue to grow, but remained at a stable level.
