107: Chapter 107 Ghosts in Time and Space
Those "jellyfish" were entirely translucent and gelatinous, their bodies emitting a faint green light, with countless long, ribbon-like tentacles trailing behind them.
They hovered quietly amidst the chaotic turbulence of energy, as if completely unaffected by this terrifying environment.
Thousands upon thousands of them, densely packed, almost completely blocking all paths ahead of them.
"W-what are these ghostly things?!" Mentor Murphy's eyes were nearly popping out of their sockets. "My database has never recorded such creatures!"
"They are not creatures." Wang Pingan's voice resonated within his consciousness, carrying a hint of gravity.
In the vision of his 【Eye of Truth】, those so-called "jellyfish" had no flesh and blood bodies at all.
They were strange life forms composed of pure, highly concentrated negative energy and spirit!
They were like ghosts of space and time born within this Subspace Storm, feeding specifically on the spirits and souls of passing travelers!
【Unknown high-order spirit energy entity detected: Subspace Stalker!】
【Strength assessment: Individual strength is approximately equal to Fourth Rank Peak, but it possesses the special attributes of 'spirit penetration' and 'energy assimilation', making it extremely dangerous!】
【Warning! Ultra-high density 'Stalker' swarm detected ahead! Please take evasive action immediately!】
The system's warning sounded like an alarm bell, ringing frantically in Wang Pingan's mind.
"Damn it, whatever I fear most always happens!" Wang Pingan cursed inwardly.
What he worried about most in this unknown forbidden zone of the universe was encountering such unreasonable, eerie native creatures.
Just then, those "Subspace Stalkers" seemed to have discovered the uninvited guest that had intruded into their territory.
Hum—
The bodies of all the "jellyfish" simultaneously lit up with a blinding, ghostly green light!
In the next second, thousands of spirit shockwaves, faster than lasers, shot toward the "seagull" like a dense rainstorm, blotting out the sky!
"spirit Barrier! Open to maximum!" Mentor Murphy's face was as pale as paper, and he let out a hoarse roar.
Without needing to be told, Wang Pingan had already unleashed his spirit force without reservation!
His spirit force transformed into a thick, silver light shield, firmly protecting the entire "seagull".
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless spirit shockwaves slammed fiercely against that silver light shield!
The light shield trembled violently, with visible ripples spreading across its surface.
Wang Pingan felt as if his head had been struck by ten thousand battering rams all at once!
An indescribable, excruciating pain nearly caused his consciousness to collapse on the spot!
"Pfft!"
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning as pale as Mentor Murphy's.
"No! There are too many! I can't hold them off!" Wang Pingan gritted his teeth and roared in his consciousness.
For him to single-handedly resist the concentrated fire of thousands of Fourth Rank Peak-level spirit energy entities was simply a fantasy!
Although his spirit force was powerful, it was not inexhaustible!
If things continued like this, his spirit barrier would be completely broken in less than ten seconds!
By then, both of them would become the main course for these ghostly things!
"Hard to port! Overload the engines! We're charging out!" Mentor Murphy's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a madman.
"It's too late! They've already surrounded us!" Wang Pingan's 【Eye of Truth】 could see clearly that a large number of "Stalkers" had also appeared behind them and on both sides, completely sealing off all their retreat paths.
They had fallen into a desperate, inescapable death trap!
"Damn it! I'll fight you all to the death!" Mentor Murphy was completely frantic; his trembling hands reached out to activate the experimental weapons on the ship, which he wasn't even sure would work.
"Don't move!" Wang Pingan suddenly let out a sharp shout in his consciousness!
His voice was cold and filled with determination!
"Mentor, trust me this once!"
"Divert all the ship's energy to the 'Illusion Projection' system in the front!"
"What?!" Mentor Murphy was stunned. "What are you going to do? That thing is just a display used for camouflage; it has no attack power at all!"
"It has no attack power, but it can create illusions!" A strange, demonic purple light suddenly flared in Wang Pingan's eyes!
"Since they are spirit energy entities, then we shall use spirit attacks to deal with them!"
Phantom Gods Eye!
He would use the "seagull" as a carrier to amplify his Phantom Gods Eye ten thousand times!
He was going to create an unforgettable nightmare for this bunch of reckless, ghostly things!
Mentor Murphy looked at Wang Pingan's eyes, which were flashing with an eerie purple light, and felt the strange yet powerful spirit fluctuations rising into the sky from him. Driven by some unknown impulse, he stopped what he was doing.
He didn't know what Wang Pingan wanted to do.
But in the youth's eyes, he saw a kind of confidence called "madness"!
"Fine! I'll go crazy with you once!"
Mentor Murphy gritted his teeth and completely synchronized his authorization with Wang Pingan!
"'Illusion Projection' system, energy supply restriction lifted! All authorities transferred to the main pilot!"
Hum—
At the bow of the "seagull", a huge, eye-like device slowly lit up.
Wang Pingan poured all of his spirit force, which had already begun to burn and boil, into it without reservation!
In his spiritual sea of consciousness, that huge eye—composed of the nebulae and dark matter of the entire universe and filled with an eerie purple light—suddenly opened at this moment!
Then, through the "seagull"'s projection system, it descended into this chaotic Subspace Storm!
The next second.
All the "Subspace Stalkers" that were frantically attacking the "seagull" suddenly stiffened.
Their ghostly green bodies began to flicker and twist violently.
As if they had seen something extremely terrifying, something that made their very souls tremble.
They began to kill each other!
One "Stalker" used its long tentacles to fiercely pierce through the body of its companion.
Another one directly detonated its own energy core, perishing together with a dozen surrounding companions!
The entire "Stalker" encirclement fell into complete chaos at this moment!
They no longer attacked the "seagull" but instead fell into a bloody and chaotic frenzy of mutual slaughter!
"Th-this is... an illusion?!" Mentor Murphy stared dumbfounded at the inconceivable scene outside the porthole, feeling that his brain could no longer comprehend everything happening before his eyes.
"Go!"
Wang Pingan had no time to explain to him; taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he steered the "seagull" and dashed right through the chaotic battlefield!
