Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 108 The Key Role of Babata
"Alright! Let's get our hands on this spaceship first."

Luo Feng nodded in agreement, saying that he was somewhat numb to Qin Ming's extraordinary strength and talent.

Although both are planetary-level beings, their strengths are worlds apart!

As a descendant of the Meteorite Star, Luo Feng was confident in his own strength. Although he was only at the second level of the Planetary Star, there were very few people on Earth who could rival him.

However, compared to a freak like Qin Ming, who can single-handedly suppress the entire world, he is far inferior.

Sometimes he secretly rejoiced, thinking that if it weren't for good luck, he would never have been able to obtain the inheritance of Meteorite Star.

"I'll open this gate passage first, and then rush in."

Qin Ming took the axe from Babata's hand, then had the sword matrix protect it, and flew towards the passage gate.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

Suddenly, beams of laser light illuminated the entire passage.

The laser travels at 30 kilometers per second. Even though Qin Ming's sword matrix flies at extremely high speeds, it is still impossible for him to dodge it.

The beams of light immediately bombarded the outer sword matrix, producing a series of violent roars.

However, despite its powerful laser, it was unable to break through the sword matrix defense.

Soon, protected by the sword matrix, the 'axe' tool flew along the ground and pierced directly into the crack in the door!
There is a very small gap between the spacecraft gate and the passageway floor.

"laugh!"

The ultra-thin blade of the axe tool was inserted.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~"

The 'axe tool' made a strange sound and split into two layers, with the upper layer constantly pushing upwards!

The gate, made of yttrium metal, was actually slowly pushed up!
Qin Ming then took the opportunity to make the sword matrix fly back quickly and surround himself.

"go!"

Qin Ming gave a low shout, and his entire body was quickly enveloped in the Black God Suit, while the leaves of the Cloud-Piercing Vine on Luo Feng's body rapidly extended to form battle armor.

Under the protection of the sword matrix, the two immediately rushed towards the laser channel.

call out!call out!call out!
Blinding laser beams shot towards Qin Ming and Luo Feng in an instant!
However, with the protection of the sword matrix, the two of them passed through the gate that was lifted up by the giant force without any danger.

"This laser is incredibly powerful. If I were to try to get in on my own, it would be a huge problem."

Turning around and looking at the laser beams that had gone out behind him, Luo Feng felt a lingering fear.

With the treasure of the Cloud Vine Armor, being hit by it wouldn't necessarily lead to death, but injury would be inevitable.

Haha, how old are you?

He has only been a martial artist for less than ten months, and he is only 18 years old.

When you reach my age, things will be much easier.

Qin Ming chuckled to himself.

Under his intervention, Luo Feng's strength became far greater than in the original timeline.

In the original timeline, Luo Feng had just joined the Fire Hammer Squad and was at the warrior level, embarking on his first adventure in the wilderness.

And now?
An 18-year-old planetary star!
Within the military, some even referred to Luo Feng as the second Qin Ming.

"hey-hey."

Luo Feng chuckled, rubbing his nose. He was quite pleased with Qin Ming's praise.

Qin Ming is five years older than him. If another five years pass, his strength will definitely be greater than Qin Ming's current strength!
"Give me a break! As far as I know, Qin Ming, you only became a martial artist two months earlier than Luo Feng."

I really don't know how you cultivated yourself.

Before awakening, he was unremarkable; but after awakening, his mental power skyrocketed, and now it continues to grow at a rapid pace.

Babata, who was listening to the two chatting, rolled his eyes.

It conducted a thorough investigation of Qin Ming's information and data.

"Alright, let's stop flattering each other."

Qin Ming smiled and looked around. They were now in a wide, straight passageway.

"Babata, this spaceship is hundreds of thousands of years old and still running. Its intelligence might be watching us right now. From now on, we're counting on you."

"Don't worry! I am the great Babata! How can ordinary spaceship intelligence compare to a true intelligent life form like me?"

Babata raised her little face, full of confidence.

"Haha, that's right! But you should still be careful. If this spaceship has some kind of self-destruct program set up, you'd better keep an eye on it."

"Such an advanced spaceship, if anything goes wrong, we're doomed."

Qin Ming smiled seemingly casually, but he was secretly giving Babata a hint.

"Self-destruction?"

Babata's expression hardened. Indeed, many spaceships had activated their self-destruct systems when faced with invasion.

If there is no preparation, it may not be able to stop it in time.

Both successors of the Meteorite Star are on the spaceship. If something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret it.

“I’ll be serious! Oh, I’ve created some special intrusion virus systems before that can silently take down the intelligence of these spaceships.”

After a moment's thought, Babata said confidently.

Given sufficient preparation, how could a mere spaceship possibly be a match for it?

Seeing that Babata was prepared, Qin Ming nodded slightly and said nothing more.

"Let's go! Now to the command center. I've prepared the 'virus'. All we need to do is insert this signal device into the spaceship's intelligent system interface."

I can then silently overcome its intelligent defenses and take control of it.

As they were talking, an object resembling a USB flash drive suddenly appeared in front of them, and Qin Ming grabbed it with one hand.

“Just insert the gold end into the interface. Let’s go to the command room,” Babata said.

Baba was clearly very familiar with the structure inside the spaceship, and under its guidance, Qin Ming and Luo Feng moved forward quickly inside the spaceship.

……

The command center of the Heilongshan X81 spacecraft.

Complete darkness!
The moment Qin Ming and Luo Feng passed through the gate and entered the spaceship.

"Ding!" The lights in the command room came on, and a man in military uniform was seen slumped in the center of the room.

Behind him stood three subordinates in black uniforms.

As the control panel screen in front of the command center lit up, a large amount of Astral language text appeared on the screen.

"A human planetary-level mentalist has intruded!"

"Threat level: weak."

"Kill him!"

When the command was issued, the red crystal eyes of the three metal robots located at the bottom of the spaceship lit up.

Click, click, click...

The three black metal robots, each over two meters tall, activated their internal energy systems, locked onto Qin Ming and Luo Feng who were moving forward inside the spaceship via the ship's signal, and then transformed into three streaks of light, darting out of the room.
……

"Hey, Qin Ming, Luo Feng, there are metal robots flying towards us from the spaceship."

It's really strange that this spaceship has been sunk for over 80 years!
The fact that it can still maintain these robots means the spaceship's condition is probably beyond our imagination!

Babata's tone was full of surprise.

"That's good! But Babata, you should be careful. This spaceship has been able to operate for so long, it's probably not simple."

Qin Ming nodded slightly and gave another subtle hint.

However, Babata did not say anything more.

Because the metal robot had already arrived while Qin Ming was speaking!
"boom!"

A black streak of light suddenly shot out from the corner of the stairs.

This metal robot is made entirely of black metal, with red-glowing eyes and enormous fists that look like two heavy hammers.

"go with!"

With a thought, Qin Ming instantly transformed the sword matrix surrounding him into a swordfish array in attack form, which slammed into the metal robot's chest!
boom!
The metal robot was sent flying backward and crashed into the wall.

Two other robots rushed up as well.

Two swordfish swam rapidly through the void, striking the two robots again and blasting them away.

"What a tough body!"

Qin Ming's eyes narrowed. With his sixth-level planetary strength, the Swordfish Formation he unleashed could easily kill a ninth-level planetary, and he could even put up a fight against a stellar-level opponent.

But the mark left on the robot's surface was barely visible.

"Of course, this robot is made of 'yttrium' metal. Even a cosmic-level powerhouse would have to put in some effort to destroy it."

Babata watched this scene with a chuckle.

"However, these robots are also very cumbersome and cannot break through your defenses at all. Wait a moment, I am hacking into their defense system."

Soon, we'll have control.

As they spoke, the three robots transformed into three streaks of light and charged forward once more.

But as Babata said, in a confined space like a spaceship, the Swordfish Formation could easily intercept it with its agility.

The robot that had just charged forward was sent flying back and crashed into the wall.

"I don't seem to have any good solutions for dealing with these soulless robots. The Myriad Soul Banner is powerful, but it mainly targets the soul."

Qin Ming frowned. There are many races in the universe that have no souls.

Intelligent life forms like the Machine Race, or energy life forms like the Demon Slayer Race, are soulless.

Without a soul, soul attacks are naturally ineffective.

His greatest trump card, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, was now lost.

"Afterwards, we need to find a way to make up for this deficiency, or perhaps we can refine some powerful flesh and blood puppets?"
Or perhaps I could enhance my abilities in controlling objects and in martial arts.

For a moment, Qin Ming couldn't think of any good solutions.

As he pondered this, the three black metal robots that had been charging relentlessly suddenly stopped moving.

"Babata? Is it under control?"

The attacks of these three robots should be comparable to those of a seventh or eighth-tier planetary-level expert, right?

Its defensive capabilities are ridiculously strong.

Luo Feng asked curiously.

"It's under control! There must be some, after all, it's made of 'yttrium' metal."

Babata said, "Alright, let's go into the command room."

The two immediately walked forward, while the three metal robots obediently followed behind.

Soon, the two saw a beautifully carved silver gate in front of them.

"Squeak-"

With a thought, Qin Ming pushed open the silver door, revealing the scene inside.

The command center was brightly lit.

The two then saw a soldier's figure in the center of the command room, and three guards in black uniforms standing behind him.

wow——

A gentle breeze blew.

That figure was instantly reduced to dust by the gentle breeze that blew as the door opened.

The three people behind him were also dressed in the same way.

"Wow, he really is a big shot! He actually has three Silver Guards protecting him. Silver Guards are the best bodyguards!"

Babata exclaimed in admiration.

Qin Ming, however, stepped forward and took out the signal device that Babata had given him.

"Babata, be careful. This intelligent life form might react if it encounters an intrusion."

Qin Ming reminded him again, and then inserted it into the control panel in the command room.

Whether we can perfectly control the spaceship depends on this!
Now, it's up to Babata.
