NABC Chapter 165 Distant Entanglement
Chapter 165 Distant Entanglement
The next day, Tilan went to the Great Library's viewing chamber, and as the Phantom Crystal Mist filled the room, the world from a thousand years past materialized before her eyes again.
After leaving her homeworld, Isenisha followed the ship on its travels through the Star Domain. For the first few years, the journey was calm, without encountering many twists and turns.
Until one day, five years later.

In the ship's central courtyard, there grew a large tree, approximately 20 meters tall, with artificial sunlight from the dome above falling on the leaves, reflecting a bright white and verdant light.@@@@
Sitting on a wide branch, Isenisha lightly brushed the strings in her arms, singing softly like reciting poetry, telling the story from ancient legends.
In the lengthy interstellar voyages, this was her way of expressing emotions and relaxing.
The melody of the strings was gentle, and she didn't deliberately follow any particular score, instead playing according to her mood. Even so, it was comfortable to the ear, giving rise to the desire to fall asleep to the sound of her song.
However, this beautiful dream did not continue indefinitely.
The ship, while traveling through interspatial routes, was disrupted. The spacecraft shook, alarms sounded, and soon after, it urgently exited the previous warp travel state.
'Warning! Warning! The ship is under attack, combat personnel please take your positions, all other personnel take cover in designated areas as trained.'
'Warning! Warning! The ship is under attack, combat personnel please take your positions, all other personnel take cover in designated areas as trained.'
...
The ship's alarms rang incessantly as crew members rushed out of their rooms, taking their respective positions, and Isenisha also leapt down from the large tree in the central courtyard to the refuge chamber.
Outside the ship, within the Stellar System, thousands of Light Gold Starships shuttled through space, the main cannons on their sides firing intermittently. Dazzling azure beams of light appeared in space from time to time. Arrayed against them were large dark red warships with hollowed structures.
These skeletal dark red warships unfolded a defensive stance at the forefront while releasing probe-like fighters from inside, scattering them like scattered flowers from heaven, densely packed, then quickly dispersing throughout the vast expanses of space.
"Blood! There's blood! There are people inside," someone inside the ship suddenly exclaimed. Then Isenisha, too, saw the recorded footage on the screen, the trail of red blood along the ship's hull stark and glaring.
It should have been normal for the fighters to be manned, but seeing countless fighters being melted down and destroyed, with pilots still seated inside, was not something one could easily come to terms with.
"No, that's not a person." A scholar within the spacecraft enlarged the image on the screen and then displayed the results of the analysis.
Among the scattered remnants of the triangular fighters, a clump of pale red flesh oozed from the broken canister, and one could vaguely see nutrient tubes and neural connectors sticking out.

Upon scanning the entire wreckage of the fighter, no so-called humanoid limbs or other body parts were discovered, meaning that the so-called pilot was merely a clump of brain encased in that canister.
"A brutally efficient and minimalist approach, this cold and energy-efficient style always reminds people of the ancient Mechanical Council."
The battle still raged on, millions of red and black fighters swarming like bees, relentlessly attacking and washing over the Light Gold Warships. Most were destroyed by the dense anti-aircraft fire before they got close, but they were not without results: about half of the Light Gold Warships were damaged in this battle, debris littering the Asteroid Belt, strewn with the wrecked husks of starships.
Finally, several carriers dispersing the red and black fighters in the distance gradually retreated, then entered a state of hyperspace travel and disappeared, while the remaining Light Gold Starship fleet began to regroup and initiate search and rescue operations.
"Who are you?"
After the fight, this serene spacecraft was taken under control—not because it hadn't been detected or was spared by chance, but because attacking this harmless spacecraft had a low priority in the heat of battle, making it not the main target.
Now that the battle had ended, the Light Gold Warship fleet dispatched two small, fast Destroyers to secure the spacecraft from either side. Then the public port on the spaceship was also connected.
A figure resembling a human woman with transparent cicada wings on her back appeared in the screen projection. She was beautiful, and atop her head shone a small halo continuously radiating light, swirling with countless symbols and seals, seemingly drawing in the Magic Power of the Aijieka Sea.
Angel Sequence 9·Cicada Envoy, Oxikasha.
In the distant past, this being, blessed by the Black Sun, met Isenisha for the first time.
Over the next century, she and Isenisha went from friends to enemies, from reconciliation to betrayal once more, entangled in numerous conflicts, until in the 'War of Extinguishment,' due to the downfall of the Black Sun·Hephaestymo, she was obliterated by the Federal Fleet.
