On the battleship flying toward the systems of chaos, Han Sen was playing cards with Han Yan and the others. Flying for a long time was boring.
Of course, the ordinary members of the Ice Blue Knights wouldn't play cards there, no matter how bored they were.
But Han Sen and the others were Mister White's guards. If Mister White allowed them to play cards, there was no problem. Plus, Mister White was participating.
Han Sen, Mister White, Han Yan, Ji Qing, and Bao'er were playing cards. Zero and Little Angel weren't interested, and Han Meng 'er was more interested in her bow and arrows.
Little Silver and Little Star were resting. The only person in the room that Han Sen didn't know well was Mister White's other guard, Crime.
He was a Ryan man, and he was very strong. He was three meters tall, and his blonde hair was wavy. His square face looked serious, and his eyes shone with a dark light.
He was clad in black armor with golden patterns on it. Coupled with the golden lion sword at his waist, he looked extremely mighty.
Crime was different from Han Sen. He was Mister White's real guard, and he was a King of the Ryan race. He had amazing power and keen observation skills.
Every time he looked at Han Sen and the others, Crime frowned.
They were a bunch of Marquise kids, and there was even an Earl among them. He thought it was ridiculous for people like that to be Mister White's guards. They would only be a burden to him.
But if it was Mister White's decision, Crime wasn't going to say anything. He just did his job and put Han Sen and the others under surveillance.
"I'm not playing anymore. This is boring." Han Sen lost another round, and then he stretched.
All the chips on the table were now in front of Bao'er. They were piled up like a small mountain. Han Sen didn't just lose; he owed her a lot.
Ji Qing and Han Yan weren't doing much better. Mister White had lost a little, too, but not as badly.
"Let's play a few more rounds," Ji Qing said. She had lost even more than Han Sen had. She owed Bao'er a lot of money.
Ji Qing had never been so unlucky before. If it wasn't for the fact that everyone was losing, she would have suspected Bao'er of cheating.
Han Sen was about to say something when he suddenly heard the ear-piercing sound of an alarm. He frowned slightly and stood up.
Mister White smiled and said, "Don't worry. This is a silent alarm, not a battle alarm. Let's go to the control room and take a look."
Han Sen told them to stay in the room while he followed Mister White and Crime to the control room.
When Han Sen and the others arrived at the control room, Ice Blue Knight King was already there. All the important people of the ship were there, including Night River King.
Night River King looked at Han Sen with a cold glare. He didn't look angry, but Han Sen could tell that Night River King wanted to eat him alive.
"Mister White, we have encountered a Black Hole Spider. We have to go silent for now. I hope we won't disturb it," Ice Blue Knight King explained when he saw Mister White approach.
Not too far away, in space, there was a black spider that was bigger than a planet. It was crouching in the middle of the galaxy. It was like there were invisible threads connecting the planets around it. It created a giant spider web, and the Black Hole Spider was quietly crouching on top of it.
This was the first time Han Sen had seen such a scary creature. Humans were so small in front of it, they were no bigger than bacteria.
The entire Ice Blue Fleet had gone silent. All the light sources had been turned off, and all the equipment that could emit sound and radio waves had been shut down. Most of the thrusters had been turned off, too. Only a few low-powered engines were still running. The ship slowly passed the Black Hole Spider.
"The systems of chaos are scarier than I thought," Han Sen thought.
Han Sen thought to himself. If the knights of the Extreme King didn't dare provoke it, then the Black Hole Spider had to be a deified creature.
The ship slowly approached the Black Hole Spider, and Han Sen was surprised to see that there were many creatures on the Black Hole Spider's body.
Those creatures were moving through the Black Hole Spider's fur. It was like a forest, and there were many of them.
Mister White saw Han Sen's shock, and he explained, "The Black Hole Spider itself isn't a big threat. It doesn't eat small creatures like us. It eats planets and asteroids that wander into its territory. The ship is in its hunting range, but as long as we don't wander into its territory, we won't be in much danger.
But there is an entire food chain on the Black Hole Spider. All sorts of xenogeneics live there, including King class creatures. They are a bigger threat than the Black Hole Spider itself. "
"If there are so many xenogeneics living on its body, can't we get on its body and kill them?" Han Sen asked with curiosity.
"Of course you can, but that is only if you aren't afraid of alerting the Black Hole Spider," a knight behind Ice Blue Knight King said.
It took three hours for the ship to pass by the Black Hole Spider. It didn't alert the Black Hole Spider or the xenogeneics on its body.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief. The Ice Blue Knights didn't want to alarm them, either.
Han Sen thought the danger was over. But then, he heard a scary explosion coming from behind the ship. The entire ship shook, and then an alarm went off.
"It's the Galactic Shrimp! Get into battle mode and fight back!" Ice Blue Knight King quickly ordered.
All the weapons on the ships began to hum. Beams of light shot through space, and all sorts of energy exploded.
Han Sen watched the images on the screen, and he could see many xenogeneics that looked like mantis shrimps. Their bodies were blue, and they were at least ten meters long. They were running around the ships.
Their bodies arched, and then they shot out, turning into blue streams of light and crashing into the battleships at an extremely fast speed. The battleships that were hit by their bodies were instantly smashed with craters dozens of meters in diameter, and a series of explosions occurred within them.
The weapons that could destroy planets exploded in the midst of the Galactic Shrimp. They were like suns, swallowing up many of the Galactic Shrimp. But even so, more Galactic Shrimp were coming.
It was like a blue river was coming. There were too many Galactic Shrimp to count, and there were too many of them to count. They were all glowing blue.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The Galactic Prawns bombarded the battleship like cannonballs, causing a series of explosions.
