Chapter 437: Breaking Through the Boundary
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Scenes of meteorites being shattered were everywhere in that area of asteroid belts. Those celestial bodies that might have been hundreds of millions of years old had turned into dust that day.
The large number of explosions was the main cause of all that. But till then, the number of explosions had relatively decreased a lot. Only the occasional beams of light could still be seen shuttling through the area.
That area of asteroid belts was a ‘battlefield between warriors,’ and the two protagonists of the battle were ‘Scarface1 and the ‘Legendary Hunter.’
Two warriors with rich space combat experience were fighting there for their own purposes. Due to the intense exchange of firepower, they cleared out an area in the dense meteorite area.
The ‘Legendary Hunter’ excitedly chased after ‘Scarface.’ The true colors of a ‘Hunter’ were vividly displayed on him at that moment.
Until then, he had been suppressing ‘Scarface,’ relying solely on his skills.
Ever since he was ‘defeated’ previously, he had learned from the bitter experience and decided to hone his skills. And his efforts had paid off that day. At least, when he had tried his best to chase after ‘Scarface,’ ‘Scarface’ did feel a little caught off guard and could only be chased after.
“I have trained more than 2,000 times in the simulation training ground for today!”
The ‘Legendary Hunter’ roared in the cockpit, ignoring his usual demeanor.
The blood in his body was circulating rapidly, giving him a thrill he had never experienced before.
Although it was incomparable to the pleasure of using chemicals directly, the mental excitement made him feel that that trip was not in vain.
And although his spaceship’s performance was indeed far superior to the technology of the ‘Exiled,’ he chose to sync his spaceship to a technical level similar to that of the ‘Exiled’ for that battle.
Even though the strength of the armor could not be changed, he was at least on par with ‘Scarface’ in terms of offense.
And right then, to be able to suppress the person who had once defeated him with just his operating skills proved that his 2,000 rounds of simulations were not in vain.
However, even though he tried to establish communication with the other party countless times in order to vent his excitement through the communication channel, ‘Scarface’ was indifferent to it and only focused on fighting with him.
That feeling of being ignored made him feel unprecedentedly frustrated. He felt that he could have flaunted himself at that time, but the other party did not give him a chance.
In the next moment, an accident occurred as he was chasing the back of ‘Scarface’s’ spaceship over an asteroid.
The seemingly harmless asteroids suddenly showed abnormal and dangerous fluctuations, and the source was deep inside the asteroids.
Not only that, but more similar signals appeared in the galaxy as if there was an ambush.
Before the ‘Legendary Hunter’ could think carefully, the shells of the asteroids suddenly exploded, and countless suicide drones flew out and surrounded him from all directions.
The offensive and defensive momentum changed at that moment. He was originally suppressing ‘Scarface,’ but he fell into a disadvantage in the blink of an eye.
The ‘Legendary Hunter’ immediately understood that the galaxy that he regarded as a ‘Hunting Ground’ had been set up in advance by the other party.
The special interstellar position of that galaxy made it a vital path to the ‘Hell Defense Line.’ He chose that place as a ‘Hunting Ground’ because there were always spaceships of the ‘Exiled’ passing by. He never expected that that place would become a ‘Hunting Ground’ for him.
Recently, he had been busy with the ‘Great Ascension’ on the mother planet, which had indeed diverted his attention. He had not been to the ‘Hunting Ground’ for a long time. He was used to maintaining ‘normal,’ which also made him choose not to use the powerful performance of the spaceship to eliminate the dangers there.
After all, he was a ‘Legend.’ He could overcome any form of danger.
And that resulted in him having to face countless suicide drones that were about to attack. The number was so exaggerated that it completely covered all the detection directions of the sensors. They surrounded his spaceship in the shape of a sphere.
It was hard to imagine how long ago the ‘Exiled’ had laid those ‘time bombs’ there. However, after the initial panic, the ‘Legendary Hunter’ calmed down.
For an ordinary person, such a situation would have been a death sentence or a declaration of failure. Such a trap that could destroy a small fleet was used on him alone. Even if he did not die, he could only escape.
However, unlike a ‘low-level civilization warrior’ like ‘Scarface,’ who had to pay attention to his safety at all times, he would not be in danger even if he lowered his spaceship’s technology level to the same level as the other party.
After all, the materials used to construct his spaceship wouldn’t deteriorate with a decrease in technology level. The so-called suicide attack would only end up the same as last time. It would only deal a blow to his self-esteem and not damage his ‘Hunter’ battleship at all.
Therefore, from the beginning, he was actually in an invincible position.
The ‘Legendary Hunter’ obviously understood that logic. His control of the spaceship paused for a moment before returning to normal.
He had to admit that he had lost again that time because their goals were completely different from the beginning. He had come for a battle worthy of the title ‘Legendary’ and was unwilling to become part of the background in the ‘Great Ascension.’
‘Scarface,’ on the other hand, was just trying to kill him. He would do anything to kill him, especially when he was a war criminal.
Now, he understood that they had never resonated with each other. There was only hatred between them. How could there be empathy? A duel between warriors was just his wishful thinking.
That feeling made the ‘Legendary Hunter’ feel dull again because no matter how lenient he was, the ‘outcome’ of the battle would be fixed, and his wish would never be realized.
After sighing, the ‘Legendary Hunter’ piloted his spaceship to break out of the suicide drones’ encirclement.
He felt there was no need to continue being ‘ordinary’ anymore because he had been putting on a farce from the beginning. He was prepared to end that clown-like behavior immediately. As for what he would do after that journey, he did not know too.
However, just as he was about to remove the restrictions on his spaceship, a huge ‘sound’ suddenly spread and reached there. It sounded like a violent ‘explosion’ that instantly shook him until he was dizzy.
Theoretically speaking, sound could not be transmitted in the universe’s vacuum. But amid his dizziness, the ‘Legendary Hunter’ still glanced at the data on the dashboard and captured the abnormalities.
Or rather, it wasn’t ‘captured,’ but the entire dashboard was in a mess. All kinds of data were fluctuating violently as if they had been struck by some kind of electronic attack.
However, the ‘Legendary Hunter’ knew very well that his spaceship wasn’t attacked because the other functions on the spaceship, including the limiters, were all normal. Even the obstacle removal system’s display of the dashboard and sensors were ‘working normally.’
In other words, those violent fluctuations of data were actually the situation detected by the spaceship. The universe seemed to be in chaos with that ‘loud bang.’
After returning to his senses, he immediately guessed that that was the beginning of the ‘Great Ascension’ and that huge chaos was caused by his compatriots ‘breaking through the border.’
Realizing that, he immediately tried to contact a few of his ‘friends’ who were still within the civilization to understand the situation.
However, as he moved, his gaze also caught a glimpse of the ‘universe’ outside the porthole. The scene he saw immediately made him freeze in his seat.
The originally dark universe’s space began to glow. It was not from a source of light like a star, but the ‘space’ itself was shining. More precisely, the ‘data’ that made up the ‘space’ was shining.
The ‘world’ that they could only catch a glimpse of in the ‘Reality Penetrometer’ seemed to overlap with the world they were in at that moment, displaying its complete form.
The overly dense ‘data’ was mixed with dazzling brilliance. With just a glance, the ‘Legendary Hunter’ felt the world spinning. It seemed even more impactful than the ‘loud bang’ just then. The physical training and chemical adaptation in the past seemed to have no effect. At that moment, he was completely unable to think about what had happened.
During the time he was unconscious, the ‘data’ that he ‘saw’ had also undergone a new round of changes.
The most obvious was the ‘data’ around him quickly becoming blurry, and the obvious characters around him became like garbled codes, completely unrecognizable.
It was like a program that had a massive ‘error.’ With him as the center of the sphere, it continued to spread outward and affect the rest of the ‘normal data’ as if it wanted to destroy the entire universe with that ‘small error.’
However, that ‘spread’ only lasted briefly before it stopped. The self-correcting mechanism of the ‘universe’ began to take effect.
The ‘data’ quickly returned to normal and returned to the state of ‘matter.’
The dense data that appeared disappeared batch by batch, but the ‘location’ of the ‘Legendary Hunter’ did not seem to have returned to the ‘ordinary universe.’ It was instead a dark and deep alternate dimension..
