Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1847 - 897: Mythic Mutant Virus Spores (3)

Previously on Global Era of Star trekking...

Song Chi secured the cultivation secret realm beneath the Heavenly Ruins Continent, ensuring the Golden Apple Mother Tree remained hidden, before planning to retreat to the ruins market for cultivation amid looming cosmic conflicts. As he entered seclusion, the Mythical Coordinates feature of his mini Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong activated, revealing a mythical artifact just several trillion light-years away—within reach of his Space Wormhole Generator. To minimize risk, he dispatched a mirror image warship to investigate, which traversed the vast distance and entered a heavily infested star domain ruled by the Starry Sea Insect Race, likely under a Primordial Mother Queen's dominion. Despite the perils of insect swarms and detection networks, the warship stealthily navigated the territory, ultimately pinpointing a guarded nebula shrouded in eerie dark green mist teeming with elusive spores that defied scans.

What's even more alarming is how these dark green spores carry a deeply horrifying corrosive force. Right upon touching it, the outer energy barrier of the Mirror Image Warship started hissing with erosion, as its power levels dropped swiftly.

Obviously, the Spore Nebula stands as a fearsome natural defense on its own, capable of scaring off most invaders and maybe even feeding the spores with their remains.

"Viral spores... and they can corrode Mythical-level energy variants!" Through the mirror image, Song Chi witnessed this, a cold shiver running down his spine.

The Endless Star Sea truly holds endless surprises and enigmas; not even a being at the Eleventh Rank would want to rashly brush against an environment this unique.

Yet, while these viral spores present a serious risk to Eleventh Rank Mythical entities, they offer only minor peril to the Mirror Image Warship. Its duplicated module, the [Alien Species Energy Purification Sculpture] upgraded ages ago to Level 120, swiftly cleanses any viral spores trying to breach the ship's insides.

Buzz!

From the warship's core, a soft white glow infused with total cleansing might expanded outwards, creating an Absolute Purification Domain around the Mirror Image Warship. As soon as the dark green viral spores stepped into this zone, their erosive force got immediately nullified and cleansed, turning into benign stellar particles that floated off.

Thanks to the Purification Domain clearing the path, nothing held back the Mirror Image Warship anymore; it cut through the thick spore mist like a keen blade, pressing firmly towards the nebula's heart, where the [Eye of Truth] had just pinpointed the location.

But right when the Mirror Image Warship activated the duplicate [Alien Species Energy Purification Sculpture] and boldly plunged into the Spore Nebula—

In the distance, over hundreds of light-years off, inside a horrifying hive built from organic forms and staggeringly immense, two icy, detached colossal eyes—made up of myriad compound facets—suddenly snapped wide.

A dreadful intent traversed the Starry Sea, arriving in a flash just beyond this Spore Nebula.

"Purification power... intruder..."

A fuzzy thought, brimming with avarice, pulsed faintly.

This entity, the overlord of the expansive Star Domain and a mighty Eleventh Rank Mythical Primordial Mother Queen, had detected that tiny outsider lurking at the edge earlier but held back from striking at once, observing curiously to discover the intruder's aims.

In the end, just slipping into this area showed how exceptional the Mirror Image Warship really was.

Maybe it would delve into the nebula's core, a place even this queen hesitated to approach because of the buried ancient virus core, revealing any concealed mysteries.

Now, though, the foe held such a pristine purification artifact that, if she could claim it, she might venture into the nebula herself, avoiding any uncontrolled developments.

"Go, secure the outlet, await its exit... capture it, retrieve that purification artifact, plus whatever it pulls from within."

The icy intent dispatched the order.

Instantly after, beyond the Spore Nebula, three spots in the emptiness warped, and three massive, threatening silhouettes radiating immense might and Eleventh Rank Mythical presence emerged silently.

All three took unique shapes—one like a huge scorpion, its tail barb gleaming with chilling sharpness that could rip through laws; another like a many-headed fiend dragon, every mouth belching varied ruinous forces; the final one a ever-morphing darkness, swallowing light in its wake.

These three Eleventh Rank Mythical Primordial Emperor Insects served as the strongest combat tools of the Eleventh Rank Primordial Mother Queen, with each boasting dread strength to rule over one or several River System Communities.

Arranging in a triangular formation, they tightly encircled the Spore Nebula, guaranteeing that no matter the Mirror Image Warship's escape point, it couldn't slip their encirclement or chase.
