Chapter 1197
The ship was rattling and shaking like mad, as passengers scrambled in their attempts to reach the Panic Terminal .
Fortunately, most of the people on board were humans with a good fitness level . They were unfazed and unshaken by the sudden bombardment from a hostile force .
Before Han Sen could exit the hologram lobby, he saw the girl who had asked him for a signature make her way out alongside her boyfriend . They were both young, and neither of them was an evolver yet . Due to their inexperience, they struggled to maintain calm in the face of what had assuredly ruined their day .
Han Sen approached them, wanting to guide them to safety .
The Panic Terminal was the sturdiest location of the ship . It was designed for an event such as this, as it had been built to withstand the crumbling of the entire battleship and to deflect cannonfire that was aimed directly at it . It also served as a large evacuation pod .
Their ship was now in the farthest reaches of the Alliance's system . It was on the outskirts of human-inhabited space; the edge of the bubble . It wasn't near the shura, but it was a mostly uncharted, rarely-visited pocket of the black .
Interstellar Pirates frequented such desolate strips of space, so this attack did not come as a complete surprise . The Universe had to divert away from the course it had been following . If things continued, this could end poorly .
If they were being attacked by pirates, they would probably be alright . Pirates were thieves, and if the Universe was boarded, then they would only want to steal valuables .
Han Sen had an ace up his sleeve, unbeknownst to everyone, though . He had the black beetle with him, and he could use that to slip into space and destroy the attackers with ease . Even the infamous pirate Minotaur only had three star-class ships . A threat such as that would be nothing for the black beetle .
For now, though, Han Sen was going to cover the couple in their rush to safety . All of a sudden, an extra large explosion struck the ship . A hole had formed in the hull, producing a large amount of suction, pulling everything out into space .
Surpassers could not survive in space, only demi-gods .
The couple were unable to grab ahold of anything to prevent themselves from being pulled out into the black . Hope of survival seemed bleak, and Han Sen witnessed the pain and realization of what was coming cross their expressions .
He was not willing to let them go . Han Sen went into the suck-stream, donning armor and a wing beast soul to aid him .
Then, he activated his nine gene locks of the Blood-Pulse Sutra .
The couple, by this point, had been pulled outside the ship . They were sure death would come for them . And with the ship still moving, at the speed they were going, it seemed impossible for them to get back inside .
They continued to flail in an attempt to grab ahold of something, but they couldn't . Out in space, their lives were now at the mercy of fate .
But then, a red-shadow with draconic wings flickered past their eyes .
