Alira blasted the ship through space like a raging beast, driving it straight toward the pirate fleet.

BOOOOOOM!!!

Inside the cabin, warning lights flashed everywhere while the ship shook violently from the sheer speed.

But instead of panicking, Garion looked completely thrilled.

"Hahahaha!" He grabbed the side of his chair, practically buzzing with excitement. "Yes! That’s exactly what I’m talking about!"

Outside the window, the pirate formation rapidly grew larger as Alira continued accelerating directly toward the center of the enemy fleet.

Garion blinked for a moment before looking at her to confirm. "Are you seriously charging straight into the middle of them?"

Alira’s eyes remained fixed on the battlefield ahead. "Of course."

Then, for the first time since the battle started, a faint grin appeared on her face. "In fact... the middle of the fleet is even better."

Garion stared at her in surprise before suddenly bursting into laughter again. "Hahaha! Alira... you’re crazier than I thought!"

Meanwhile, panic had already begun spreading throughout the pirate communication channels.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SHIP DOING?!"

"WHY IS IT STILL ACCELERATING?!"

"STOP THEM!"

The scarred pirate captain roared furiously from inside the main ship. "All ships fire together! Blow that insane woman apart immediately!"

The entire pirate fleet instantly lit up.

Dozens of energy cannons glowed simultaneously while countless beams of crimson light shot toward Alira’s vessel.

BOOOOOOM!!! BOOOOOOM!!! BOOOOOOM!!!

Space itself trembled under the barrage, but Alira remained perfectly calm.

Several holographic circles suddenly appeared around her control panel as streams of blue energy surged throughout the ship.

Garion’s eyes widened slightly. "So this is the real weapon system..."

Alira nodded once. "Manager Paren’s private ship isn’t designed for normal travel."

Her fingers slid across the controls smoothly. "It’s a combat vessel."

The next moment...

VVVVVVVMMMMMMMM!!!

The entire ship suddenly began glowing with countless blue lines.

Then the outer hull slowly shifted.

Massive hidden weapon ports unfolded from beneath the silver armor plating while gigantic energy cannons rotated outward, one after another.

Garion stared at the scene with shining eyes. "No way..."

Even the pirates froze briefly in shock. "This ship has hidden weapons?! How many cannons does this thing even have?!"

Alira calmly placed her hand onto the main firing panel. "You just need to see and now..."

A dangerous smile slowly appeared on her face. "Let me show you why nobody likes attacking Cosmic Terminal ships."

The next instant...

BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!

An enormous blue beam erupted from the front of the ship like a divine judgment blast, instantly tearing through the middle of the pirate fleet.

Space itself seemed to split apart as the gigantic beam swallowed multiple pirate ships whole.

The surrounding darkness lit up blue.

Then...

BOOOOM!!! BOOOOM!!! BOOOOM!!!

Several assault ships exploded instantly without even having time to react.

Fragments of burning metal scattered across space while violent shockwaves spread outward in every direction.

Inside the pirate communication channels, terrified screams immediately erupted.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!"

"OUR SHIELDS GOT PIERCED!"

"RETREAT! RETREAT!"

The scarred pirate captain’s face twisted in horror as he watched two of his assault vessels disappear completely from the radar.

"That’s impossible..."

Meanwhile, inside Alira’s ship, Garion stared outside the window with wide eyes before suddenly bursting into loud laughter.

"Hahahahaha! That’s insane!"

His grin widened excitedly as he watched another pirate ship spinning uncontrollably through space with half its hull melted away.

"So this is cosmic warfare?!"

Alira calmly continued controlling the ship while countless holographic screens floated around her. "This is only medium-grade weaponry."

Garion immediately turned toward her in disbelief. "ONLY medium-grade?!"

Alira nodded casually. "Manager Paren’s ship focuses more on mobility and defense than overwhelming destruction."

Garion stared at her silently for several seconds.

Then he slowly looked back outside at the burning battlefield.

Several pirate ships were already retreating while alarms echoed endlessly through their fleet.

And this is the ship focused on defense?

Garion suddenly started laughing again. This universe was way crazier than he expected.

Outside, the remaining pirate ships desperately fired back.

Crimson beams shot wildly across space while smaller assault ships tried circling around toward Alira’s blind spots.

But the ship moved like a ghost.

VVVMMMM!!!

The vessel suddenly twisted sideways at impossible speed, narrowly dodging several incoming beams before accelerating directly toward another pirate ship.

The pirates inside instantly panicked.

"IT’S COMING STRAIGHT AT US AGAIN!"

"MOVE THE SHIP!"

"FASTER! FASTER!"

Too late.

BOOOOOOM!!!

The ship smashed directly through the pirate ship’s side barrier like a meteor.

The entire enemy ship exploded violently from the impact alone.

Garion stared at the destruction with glowing eyes. "Hahaha! Why does this feel more like a giant weapon than a spaceship?!"

Alira’s calm voice echoed beside him. "Because advanced cosmic ships are giant weapons."

Outside, the pirate fleet had already fallen into complete chaos.

Several damaged ships drifted helplessly through space while alarms echoed endlessly across their communication channels.

The scarred pirate captain slammed both hands onto his control panel in rage. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE?!"

His furious face appeared once more on the hologram screen. "You’re just a private ship! Since when does a private ship carry this kind of firepower?!"

Behind him, the remaining pirates looked equally horrified.

Meanwhile, Alira remained perfectly calm.

"This ship is officially registered under the Cosmic Terminal," she replied coldly. "Attacking it was your mistake."

The scarred pirate’s face twisted violently. "Bullshit! Nobody told us a monster like this was traveling nearby!"

Garion burst into laughter from the side. "Hahaha! Sounds like bad luck to me."

The pirate captain looked ready to explode from anger.

But before he could continue shouting, Alira suddenly pushed the control lever forward.

VVVVVMMMMMM!!!

The ship instantly accelerated again.

Within seconds, it shot through space like a streak of light, leaving the damaged pirate fleet behind completely.

The pirates stared helplessly as the ship disappeared into the distance.

Then the scarred captain suddenly roared in fury and smashed the control panel hard enough to crack it.

"THAT DAMN WOMAN!"

The entire pirate ship erupted into furious shouting and curses as rage spread through the remaining fleet like wildfire.
