Chapter 540: Chapter 148 Interstellar Trek_2

What if it was the second or third life?

Like Elise Clark, who was undoubtedly a native soul of the Wizard World, yet entangled with the soul of a parallel universe doppelganger, might be a manifestation of being reincarnated into the second or third life.

“If that’s the case, it would explain everything.”

Having thought of this, Dean Frist didn’t stay in his office.

He instructed his office staff to manage the aftermath of the attack at the Rear Camp of the Sage Palo Army—saving those who needed to be saved, repairing what needed to be repaired, and issued harshly-worded communications.

He then directly returned to the academy headquarters to report his new findings and speculations to his grandfather.

How to proceed and what measures to take wasn’t something that Frist could decide.

It involved the special “guest” mentioned in the Prophecy of Nostrodamus.

Those involved had to start at the Level Seven Great Sage.

In the midst of the time-space turmoil.

The interstellar battleship “Celestial Shuttle” was being ravaged.

The Defense Shield had been shattered and now the ship’s body was the only defense against the turmoil.

Link and Elise huddled in the escape pod and controlled the warship through the Tower Spirit.

He cut off the power supply to all other systems and concentrated all energy into the defense system of the warship.

Even the power supply to the Star-annihilating Cannon was cut off.

The speed and agility of a “Hummingbird” class starship couldn’t be utilized in a time-space turmoil.

Like a car caught in a hurricane, there was no effective way to escape the tornado, except to endure the destruction and prepare for the inevitable outcome—being torn apart or crashing horribly.

Link and Elise could only think about saving themselves.

Despite the abrupt change, the two divided responsibilities without communication.

Upon entering the “Celestial Shuttle” and escape pod, Elise kept calm throughout the ordeal.

As Link controlled the warship through the Tower Spirit, Elise did not sit idle. She used all kinds of Magic Tools she carried and threw them as soon as the cooling period of defense witchcraft ended.

This was to offset the impact and damage caused to them by the violent shaking of the warship.

Unfortunately, the Storage Magic Tool could not be used in the time-space turmoil.

Otherwise, Elise could have used several top-tier Third Ring Level defense Magic Tools, that her sister Renee had specially forged for her.

That would have improved their chances of survival a little bit more.

As Elise was thinking about this, she noticed a claw—comparable to two large Shandong-class ships placed side by side—suddenly blocking the chaotic currents in front of her.

From the appearance, the claw was cut at the root, severed by some sharp weapon or force.

The large yet incredibly sharp claw tip was pointing directly at the “Celestial Shuttle”.

In no time, they would collide.

This was due to the different flow rates caused by different masses.

The claw was heavy therefore its speed in the turmoil was slow; the “Celestial Shuttle” was lighter thus its speed was faster.

Mathematical/Physical chasing problems were usually a matter of elementary algebra.

Considering the current state of the “Celestial Shuttle”, the ship would shatter with just a gentle touch on the claw tip, with no need for the extra force arising from the difference in their speeds.

And that was only considering the physical collision, without taking into account the Extraordinary powers and effects that must exist on the claw.

Just one claw was so large, one could imagine the size of the creature the claw belonged to.

In all Heavens and Realms, astral beasts were always classified by their size.

The stronger they were, the more they could eat; the more they ate, the stronger they became.

From the size of the claw, it could be inferred that the owner of the claw was at least a Level Six Extraordinary Life.

How could a small “Hummingbird” class interstellar ship dare to face-off against the claw of a Level Six Extraordinary Life?

Even if it was just a severed claw!

“Get ready, we’re going to abandon ship.”

Link was not panicked, he alerted with a reminder and then focused on controlling the ship.

As the distance to the claw got closer, Link’s brows furrowed deeper.

The timing to abandon ship was crucial; it couldn’t be too early or too late.

If too early, they risked being swept off course by the turmoil; if too late, they would be skewered by the claw.

“Hold on!”

Link shouted while simultaneously completing his operation.

The escape pod was ejected three seconds before the “Celestial Shuttle” collided with the claw, tracing an arc over the claw to escape.

That wasn’t the only escape pod that was ejected.

The “Celestial Shuttle” had a maximum capacity of ten people, hence there were ten escape pods.

Link ejected all ten escape pods at once and controlled their formation.

Four below, two on the left, two on the right, one above—nine empty escape pods tightly packed around the pod where Link and Elise were, protecting them.

This was to defend against any possible damage.

The preparation was not excessive.

As the array of escape pods passed over the claw.

A flash of dark light, and the four fully-powered defense-mode escape pods at the bottom were instantly cut in two.

Link had already been running Mind Closure Technique at full capacity, activating a Multi-Threading Thinking state, mobilizing…uh, unable to mobilize the Origin Power from the Small World.

However, with the top-tier AI built in, it was capable of intense calculation and had fast reaction times.

In the blink of an eye, Link managed to control the two escape pods on the left and right sides to fill in the gap at the bottom.

But even they couldn’t last for a second.

But that was enough.

In just under two seconds, the escape pod had covered three-quarters of the claw, with only a short distance left.

“I did my best.”

In the rush, Link left behind these words tinged with helplessness.
