I'll report this to the government and send all the main characters to jail.

"Hurry! Hurry, hurry, hurry! The energy core is overloaded, the warp drive is charging!"

"Commander, several high-energy signals have been detected from behind! It's a few destroyers from the Star Eater Cult; they've gone mad!"

"Shake them off! Oghuz, use your mothership to ram through that asteroid belt ahead!"

On the Earth Fleet's command channel, there was a tense yet orderly exchange of shouts.

Although Su Chen's earth-shattering spear strike severely damaged Hero's flagship and completely shattered the morale of the main force of the Star Devouring Sect, even a rabbit will bite when cornered.

A few cult warships, still loyal to Hero, or rather, blinded by hatred, clung to the Earth fleet like mad dogs.

They kept firing to harass them, trying to delay their withdrawal.

The space within the Civilization Cemetery is extremely unstable, filled with various spatial turbulences and energy traps, making long-distance continuous jumps impossible.

The fact that they could only make short jumps gave the pursuers an opportunity.

"Those bastards, they're like ghosts that just won't leave you alone!"

Chen Zhou stared at the few red dots relentlessly pursuing him on the radar, his teeth itching with hatred.

"We can't get entangled with them; our goal is to get out of the cemetery as soon as possible."

Su Chen's voice was somewhat weak, but he was still directing the overall situation:

"Ougus, you know the Star Eater Cult's pursuit tactics best, you plan the route."

"Yes, Master!"

By this time, Ogus was completely in awe of Su Chen and carried out the order without the slightest hesitation.

He immediately took over the fleet's navigation system, and his immense computing power, belonging to a star-level expert, began to operate at full speed.

"Turn left thirty degrees! Three light-seconds ahead, there's the edge of a 'phantom storm' zone. We can skim past it! They won't dare follow us in!"

"Ahead lies the ruins of an ancient civilization's defensive matrix. Its energy is depleted, but the gravitational field remains! All ships, utilize the gravitational slingshot effect to accelerate and drift!"

"Attention! That 'Punisher'-class destroyer to the right rear, its main gun is the 'Fracturing Light Lance,' which excels at attacking targets in warp space!"

"All ships, immediately abandon warp drive and engage conventional evasive maneuvering!"

Ogus, like a seasoned hunter, used his knowledge of his own kind and his familiarity with this complex "jungle" to lead the Earth fleet through countless wreckage and traps in a thrilling "graveyard chase".

They would occasionally rush into a seemingly impenetrable radio nebula, using the nebula's cover to shake off their pursuers.

Sometimes, they would deliberately trigger a small, automatic defense trap, letting the energy rays they fired "greet" the pursuers behind them.

The pursuing sectarian warships were completely outmaneuvered.

It wasn't that they ran headfirst into a hidden gravitational trap and were torn apart by the powerful gravity, unable to move.

It was an ancient energy core that was detonated by the Earth fleet, leaving it covered in dust and grime.

After several rounds, the few pursuing ships, which had been like mad dogs, were already battered and bruised, and the distance between them gradually widened.

"Well done, Captain Ogus!" Chen Zhou couldn't help but shout his praise as he watched the red dot on the radar recede into the distance.

Ogus simply lowered his head humbly: "It was all under the master's command."

But a storm raged within him.

He realized that his little bit of cleverness was utterly insignificant compared to Su Chen's.

For every escape plan he proposed, Su Chen could instantly calculate dozens of possible outcomes using the terrifying system called "Prophet".

And from this, the optimal solution can be selected, and even the subtle flaws in the solution can be pointed out.

Several times, it was Su Chen's reminders that allowed the fleet to avoid some deeply hidden traps that he himself had not even noticed.

What kind of being is this master?

Just when everyone thought they were about to successfully shake off their pursuers.

An aura several times more terrifying than when Herro made his move arrived without warning, traversing endless space from the far rear and descending instantly!

"It's...it's Hero! He caught up with us himself!"

For the first time, Ogus's voice carried a hint of despair.

On the radar screen, there was a huge signal source emitting an ominous red light.

It was tearing through space at an illogical speed, hurtling straight toward them!

Hero had clearly used some kind of secret technique to temporarily suppress the injuries, determined to keep them here at all costs!

"He's locked onto us! We're locked onto by his will! There's no escape!"

The radar officer screamed in terror.

"boom!"

A ranged attack, more solid and darker than the previous "Annihilation Singularity," filled with an aura of endless destruction, has crossed space and appeared behind the fleet!

Hero launched this attack with the determination to kill!

The target is the core of the Earth fleet—the "Pangu"!

Su Chen's mental energy was completely exhausted in that "Spear of Will" attack, and he was unable to use that kind of power at the level of rules for a short period of time.

The fleet's conventional shields were no different from paper in the face of this attack!

Finished!

This thought crossed everyone's mind.

In that moment of despair.

Oghuz's massive mothership suddenly executed a violent tail-spin.

The massive ship hull swung sideways, blocking the "Pangu" from the beam of destruction!

"Ogus! What are you doing?!" Chen Zhou roared.

"Master!!" On the holographic projection of Ogus, a look of resolute determination and relief appeared on his face:

"This ship has always been the property of the sect. Today, let it settle my past sins!"

"To be able to follow you is the greatest honor of my life, Oghuz!"

"Please... lead Earth's civilization to that unparalleled peak!"

After saying that, he cut off the communication.

He poured all the remaining energy in the mothership into the shield at the stern, forming an extremely dazzling wall of energy light.

He would use his flagship, his life, to shield Su Chen and the Earth fleet from this final, and most fatal, blow!

"boom--!!!"

The black beam of destruction slammed violently into the mothership's shields.

That dazzling wall of energy light shattered like a mirror in less than a second.

Immediately afterwards, the black beam of light, unstoppable, engulfed the massive hull of the mothership.

There was no violent explosion.

Under the extreme destructive energy, the colossal vessel, tens of kilometers long, melted and disintegrated from its stern down, becoming the most insignificant particles in the universe.

In his final moments, Oghuz reflected on his life.

From an unknown, lowly believer, he climbed step by step to the high position of elder, enjoying immense prestige.

Later, he became a prisoner and a humiliated servant.

He thought his life would end in humiliation and resentment.

But unexpectedly, in the end, he was able to make such a...great sacrifice?

He wasn't doing it for a sect or for faith, but for a mysterious young master he had only recently met, and for a small, fledgling civilization.

Why?

Perhaps... it was because he saw something he had never seen before in that young man and that civilization, something called "hope."

Worth it.

Oghuz smiled, then his consciousness was completely plunged into darkness.

The massive mothership, along with its captain, vanished completely into the cold universe to cover the evacuation of the Earth fleet.

Herona's all-out attack was completely drained of energy by this tragic "meat shield".

"Ogus..."

On the bridge of the Pangu, everyone was silent.

They stared blankly at the spot where the mothership had disappeared, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

This former enemy, in his final moments, sacrificed his own life to save them.

Su Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

He looked at the Hero signal source on the screen, whose speed had greatly decreased due to exhaustion, and a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.

I've noted this down.

"Full speed ahead, get out of here."

Su Chen's voice was devoid of any emotion.

But everyone knows that from this day forward, the Star Eater Cult has been added to their death list by their supreme commander.

The fleet, in silence, accelerated, and accelerated again.

Finally, having completely shaken off all pursuers, they escaped this death graveyard—a place that had buried countless civilizations—without serious danger.
