Woo!

Above a certain region of the Pacific Ocean, the low roar of a Starry Sky Propeller group reverberates, causing even the air over the sea to tremble. The indigo ion streams surge from the eight main engine nozzles on the belly and tail of the Sky Dome Unlimited power hull. In subsonic cruise mode, the energy trail vaporizes into a fog tunnel thousands of meters long in the torrential rain, as if a Heavenly God cleaves the ocean curtain with a blade of light.

"Viola, lower the altitude again."

On the main bridge, each member is extremely vigilant at the moment. Although it is daytime, after plunging into the hurricane zone, the sky has begun to rain heavily, and the sunlight is obscured. Detecting the low rain clouds above, Lin Xian has to repeatedly instruct Viola to lower the flight altitude to avoid being targeted by any Monster that might appear in the clouds.

The Sky Dome Unlimited skims the sea at low altitude, roaring tumultuously. The hull sweeps up vacuum shock rings, with high-pressure airflow pushing down the seawater to create a depression of a hundred meters in diameter, and the wave walls roll out and burst like razors.

A section of the main weapon cabin has been added to the current bow of the Sky Dome, and Lin Xian has added three layers of bow defenses for collision during flight. Besides the super carbon炔 alloy hull shell itself, there are also static electric field generators to resist energy weapons and fine particle streams, high-energy plasma pulse arrays for active defense, and explosion-proof high-temperature composite armor for frontal impacts and dealing with explosive restarts.

With this cabin section, the Sky Dome train is upgraded from the original ’Starry Sky Orbit Transport Ship’ to a ’Far Star Colony’ weapon with an autonomous defense system.

At this moment, Ning Jing, Shu Qin, Xiao Qing, and others are responsible for reconnaissance and firing on the Arsenal Ship, with the Triple Rail Shock Star Cannon and plasma plasma cannon ready to counter any enemy at any time. Chen Sixuan, Lv Chang, Luo Yang, and others handle the information system, Sha Sha acts as the helmsman, others keep on standby in the bridge and functional hull, with only Sun Yuzhen, Mo Xiaotian, Ding Junyi, and Xiao Yuan handling logistics in the life cabin section.

Brother Huo stands alone at the front of the main bridge window, his eyes shining like starlight, a rebellious arc at the corner of his mouth, laughing aloud towards the rolling rain waves and split giant waves outside the window:

"Woohoo hahaha! This is our battlefield! Oh Sky Dome Unlimited, tear through this chaotic rain curtain, break through surging waves — my steel body reigns supreme between heaven and earth! A mere hurricane and torrential rain is just dust brushing my face — behold! This thrill of cutting through waves, making the sea god tremble and cloud demons retreat! This is what befits the fate of a true hero! World, bear witness! This path that breaks through everything is merely the first step of my conquest of the universe! Come on, no matter how fierce the storm, my Weaving Flame cleanses the world, hahahaha!"

Bang!

However, before he could fully vent his ambition, a plasma plasma cannon on the weapon ship ahead suddenly fired, a flashing plasma tracing a bolt of Thunder into a cloud layer and exploded. Under the azure flash, a bizarre black shadow bursts from the clouds; the mist clears to reveal a Winged Demon-like Monster tumbling in the air before falling into the distant sea waves.

"Captain Lin, the radar detected a low-altitude lifeform, I’ve already activated the shipborne weapons to engage automatic enemy-searching counterattack!"

Ning Jing’s voice rings through the main bridge communication channel.

"Good, don’t hold back!"

Lin Xian looks at Brother Huo with a shadowed expression, "Brother Huo, Monica, Shi Zhi, you go to the Sky Bridge, Ah Bai, KIKI, Ryuji you go to the lower tier, dealing with aerial and underwater threats respectively. At our current speed, flying so low, the coverage and reaction of the defense weapons may not keep up."

"Got it." Monica immediately stands from her chair and heads directly outside the bridge, with Shi Zhi following behind. Brother Huo, entrusted with significant responsibility, also immediately becomes serious, eager to follow.

"KIKI." Lin Xian calls out to KIKI: "In addition to protecting Ah Bai, you and Ryuji must also be careful not to let anything collide directly."

"Understood~" KIKI snaps her fingers, summoning her Electric Blade Ball Flying Device to follow, Ryuji, expressionless, nods to Lin Xian before quickly heading off.

Starship flying and train charging are completely different things; a train has tracks, but below them now is an endless ocean abyss, possibly inhabited by giant Abnormal Bodies. At such high-speed maneuvers, any collision is incredibly dangerous, even tearing apart an aerial cabin is possible, hence why aerial units are more dangerous.

"Lin Xian!"

Chen Sixuan, temporarily acting as the science officer, turns from her seat with a grave expression: "The super large tropical storm zone is less than 100 nautical miles from us!"

"Really unlucky, it was clear skies just now." Qian Deli complains.

"In this kind of place, it’s not just the weather that’s troublesome, pay attention to the Dark Abnormality." Chen Sixuan recalls the storm they experienced on Palma Snowfield and voices her concern.

"I know."

Lin Xian looks at Viola: "How long until we reach Hawaii?"

[At the current speed, estimated 7 hours, considering positioning error and the impact of dark intrusion on the visual interface, there might be a margin of error about 1 hour or so, I suggest preparing for this.] Viola says flatly. [Under normal circumstances, following the starship flight manual when encountering a storm zone would allow for transonic crossing, but given the Abnormality threat in the storm zone, I can only suggest lowering the cruise speed to avoid collision accidents.]

"Slow down..." Lin Xian frowns: "At this speed, there’s no guarantee we’ll reach before nightfall, and if we slow down, it will be completely impossible."
