The Almighty Ring

p>“Alright.
I heard enough.
This ship is mine and I will fight you for it,” said Jiang Fei when he realized Straz was not giving him the information he wanted.

“Let’s not be hasty.
I did mention that I’ve accomplished what I came here for.
This ship is yours.
Fare thee well.
Till we meet again.”

Bennette Straz smiled before a while light shimmered around him, teleporting him and the other Unknowns away.

“0542, trace them! Find out where they are going!” Jiang Fei roared.

“Sorry, captain.
They had activated some kind of disruption field.
I am unable to trace their location or where they’re headed,” said 0542.

“In that case, scan this facility and give a thorough report! Also, didn’t you say something about having the best security and defense? How on earth did they manage to enter this place as if it belonged to them?!” Disappointed with the previous answer, Jiang Fei roared back at 0542 furiously.

“Captain.
I do not possess the required security clearance for the Main Engine room.
The only way I can obtain authority over this facility is through hacking.
The intruders had probably done the same, only quicker.”

“How?! Explain! How did someone manage to obtain such advanced decryption technology that could even surpass you?!” Jiang Fei snapped, unable to believe the nonsense that 0542 was giving him.
Actually, to be honest, it felt more like made-up excuses.

“Sorry, captain.
I do not possess sufficient data to answer–”

“ENOUGH!” Jiang Fei roared before 0542 could finish whatever it was trying to say.

“Who the f*ck are these people? How did they manage to get Straz out of the game? Are they related to the military?” Jiang Fei asked himself.

The sudden disappearance of Bennette Straz from the game had always bugged him.
He had first assumed that the military had extracted him to use him as one of their pawns.
However, judging from how things turned out, it seemed like whoever or whatever organization Bennette Straz was part of might have something to do with the military.
The technology they were using was just too similar to what the military had developed!

The entire hall was empty and solemn.
Isabella was still in her Berserk state, punching the erected barrier even though there was no one behind it.

“Captain, I have bad news.
All Energy Crystals in the storage facility had been taken away.
Even the Main Teleportation Core had been removed,” said 0542.

Jiang Fei mind blanked out.
He stood there, processing 0542’s words before he fell to the ground, defeated.

“How… GRAHHH!”

Angry and disappointed, Jiang Fei punched the flooring of the ship, leaving a bloodied fist mark.
The Main Engine room had been sitting there for more than 7,000 years.
All those years of energy generation had been for naught.
All those energy that he could have used to save Isabella… All gone.
That wasn’t even the bad news.
The bad news was the missing Main Teleportation Core.
If the Main Engine room was the core of Braveheart, the Main Teleportation Core was fuel for the engine! Without it, the Main Engine room would be nothing but an empty husk.
The machine that was used to create the Energy Core was gone.

“I’ll hunt you down! I swear I’ll kill the lot of you!” Jiang Fei roared with such volume that the walls of the empty hull reverberated a little.

“Captain, I have one piece of good news.
The Main Engine room has one backup Teleportation Core.
It can only be removed with the authority of a Captain.
It is still there,” said 0542 after Jiang Fei was done venting his anger.

“A backup Teleportation Core, you say?” said Jiang Fei, with hope gleaming in his eyes.

“Yes.
That Teleportation Core is not as powerful as the Main Teleportation Core as its energy production efficiency is only two-thirds of the Main Teleportation Core.
Fortunately, it is still sufficient enough for us to do many things.”

“Good enough for me! I’ll make do with what I have now.
I don’t care who the f*ck those random f*ckers are but I swear I will have them return what they had stolen from me!”

“Captain, you can now store the facility away,” said 0542.

“Alright.
Let’s go home now.”

Even though he had only two-thirds of what he could have had own, the fact that someone had been one step ahead of him made Jiang Fei incredibly aggravated.

“Someone else is here,” said Ariel after she had flashed herself to his side.

At the same time, Isabella managed to break past the barrier and destroy the machine that was creating it.
