On the large screen of the control room, the image of a middle-aged man appeared, with a barely discernible smile on his face, as if he were telling a joke.

The moment he finished speaking.

Baiyu naturally recalled the information of the Star Wanderer.

It is a creature that can use its body as a tool for interstellar travel, living in the starry sky and feeding on special metals known as Exotic Beasts.

Every adult Star Wanderer is enormous, some even larger than starships, with formidable strength.

To hunt a Star Wanderer, you definitely need considerable strength.

"Okay, though I may not be of much help, I can assist on the side to prevent that Star Wanderer from escaping."

Baiyu agreed with the middle-aged man.

On the big screen, Adson laughed heartily and said without concern, "Sure, we need companions to hunt this elusive creature together."

After Adson finished speaking, he directly transmitted information containing detailed data on the Star Wanderer and the location where Baiyu needed to set up defense.

The Star Wanderer is currently on an asteroid in the asteroid belt.

Once it finishes feeding, it will leave this asteroid.

The special metal available for the Star Wanderer to consume on an asteroid is scarce, and a Star Wanderer can at most eat for about a week before it has to leave. Adson’s merchant fleet has been following this Star Wanderer for five days.

"What do you think, can they succeed? Selling a Star Wanderer in the market would fetch a high price."

Baiyu said casually in the grand hall.

Erza thought for a moment and replied, "I’m not sure, but they’ve prepared for so long, there’s definitely a chance of success. Otherwise, the fleet wouldn’t waste time doing this."

"Indeed, but the Star Wanderer’s strength is undeniable. Defeating it with just three starships isn’t difficult, but capturing or killing it is another matter. The Star Wanderer’s body is as sturdy as a starship and can freely travel through the universe."

Baiyu’s expression remained unchanged.

He had Erza drive to the outskirts of Adson’s encirclement and filled a defensive gap there while the asteroid with the Star Wanderer was now under tight blockade by surrounding starships.

They waited almost a day.

Suddenly, a red dot appeared on the Life Detector.

A black dot on the distant asteroid kept growing, quickly revealing its true form before Baiyu’s eyes.

It was a giant creature, its exterior covered as if with innumerable steel plates, reflecting the light from various corners of the eternal silent starry sky.

Its head was enormous, with tendrils growing like hair, densely packed, twisting and fluttering continually in the void.

Star Wanderer!

The moment this giant beast appeared, the starships of Adson’s fleet surrounding the asteroid instantly launched an attack.

Laser beams fired one after another.

Accompanied by countless special bullets and shells, they rained down like a storm towards the Star Wanderer.

Although there was no sound.

The intense explosions continuously burst on the Star Wanderer’s surface, the dazzling light stimulating everyone’s visual nerves.

Baiyu took a deep breath.

The battle started.

The intense firepower of the three starships instantly enveloped the entire Star Wanderer, even breaking the steel surface of the Star Wanderer in some places.

However.

Under such firepower, the Star Wanderer continued to advance and even accelerated, as if it encountered no obstruction.

At this point, the three starships began to take action. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

They unleashed more attacks, but to the Star Wanderer, it had no effect.

It seemed the starship attacks could at most cause minor injuries to the Star Wanderer, unable even to make it pause.

"Is it because they’re just merchant ships? If the Imperial regular forces’ starships were only at this level, they wouldn’t be able to fight the other races at all."

Baiyu thought silently.

The Empire’s enemies are vast, and the Mechanical Race’s cutting-edge technology alone is enough to cause trouble.

It seems the merchant fleet doesn’t have strong attack capabilities.

This aspect should be strictly limited by the Empire, aside from the Empire’s warships, other civilian starships are likely not equipped with massive destructive weapons.

How do they plan to capture this Star Wanderer?

Baiyu watched the developments quietly, not intending to intervene, as even if the Star Wanderer escaped, it wouldn’t cause him any loss.

Previously, Adson invited him to join just to prevent unexpected incidents. He never intended for Baiyu to truly participate in the hunting, nor did they discuss any rewards.

So Baiyu naturally wouldn’t intervene now.

If he acted hastily, the other party might worry about ulterior motives. Adson’s merchant fleet should have other means.

It was at this moment.

The three starships suddenly ceased their attack, seeming to realize that such attacks had little effect on the Star Wanderer.

After the three starships stopped attacking.

The hatch of the central starship suddenly opened, and a figure dressed in a tight-fitting black combat suit rushed out, swiftly approaching the Star Wanderer.

Owing to the previous continuous attacks, this Star Wanderer was now thoroughly enraged.

And the three starships’ firepower wasn’t sufficient to truly harm it.

Thus, at this moment.

Instead of choosing to flee, it opted to engage, intending to kill the humans attempting to hunt it!

So at the moment the Star Wanderer not only didn’t escape but attacked again, the humanoid figure was not surprised but accelerated, focusing all his strength in his fist and launching a fierce punch ahead.

The tendrils of the Star Wanderer swept down like blades.

But under the fist, those tendrils, tougher than steel, were instantly shattered into fragments.

The figure continued unrelenting, crashing hard into the head of the Star Wanderer.

Immediately afterward.

The massive body of the Star Wanderer violently shook, briefly paused, and suddenly exploded internally.

Like one bomb after another detonating within its body.

The huge body of the Star Wanderer erupted with one blood hole after another, countless blood droplets falling into the deep dark universe.

Affected by the intense pain, the Star Wanderer emitted an extremely painful cry, the sound resonating directly in every person’s mind, inside each one’s Spiritual Intuition.

For a moment.

All ordinary people aboard the starships grabbed their heads in pain, rolling on the ground in agony.
