Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 1056: Chapter 1055: From Now On, You Are Prisoners

The warship that suddenly appeared surprised Fang Zheng, but what shocked him the most was that those idiot robots actually dared to confront the Swarm after emerging?

Are they a bunch of imbeciles?

You must know that the Swarm’s target is the Reapers. To them, this suddenly appearing warship was not within their attack range. Originally, if these guys did nothing, then nothing would happen, but...there are actually idiots among them who dared to attack the Swarm?

Soon, Fang Zheng saw a blue and white robot leading the charge, rushing quickly towards the Flying Dragon in front of it. Originally, if it did nothing, then the Flying Dragon would just bypass it. But this robot, well, Fang Zheng saw on the screen that the wing-like appendages behind it suddenly spread open, and then ”swoosh swoosh swoosh”, it fired beams of light at the Flying Dragon ahead, hitting its body.

The attack of these robots was somewhat powerful, at least Fang Zheng saw that the beams also tore the Flying Dragon to pieces...and then the robot was in big trouble.

”—————!!”

The Swarm would not tolerate provocation. The reason they did not care about these strange creations before was because Fang Zheng’s first order to them was to attack the Reapers, so they ignored these oddities. But after being attacked, it was different. The Swarm’s thinking is simple and direct———I will eliminate the enemy———You attack me———You hinder me from eliminating the enemy———You are the enemy!

In just an instant, hundreds of Flying Dragons and Corruptors nearby swarmed upon that robot.

And that robot seemed to not have anticipated stirring a hornet’s nest. It quickly tried to retreat and distance itself from the Swarm, but this was a fantasy.

Amid billions of Swarm members, you still want to escape? Impossible!

A Flying Dragon lunged forward, biting off the robot’s arm and tearing it away directly———Alright, this broken robot didn’t even have a Shield...

And that robot still attempted to struggle in vain, but then another Flying Dragon approached and opened its maw at it...

Accompanied by the brilliant explosion of flames, soon, the robot was completely destroyed by the Swarm, leaving only wreckage floating in the starry sky.

”Why do I feel that the robot looks kind of familiar...”

Fang Zheng rubbed his chin as he looked at the floating robot head on the screen.

”Iona, zoom in on the image...”

”No...Kira...!!”

However, before Fang Zheng finished his words, suddenly, a voice full of anguish came, startling him.

”What the hell? Who’s shouting?”

”Captain, we have connected to their communication loop.”

”Oh, I see...”

Hearing Iona’s response, Fang Zheng nodded, but before he could say anything, that voice, as if someone had lost their spouse, sounded again.

”You monsters, I will avenge Kira...!!!”

With the shouting, Fang Zheng saw another purple robot appear on the screen. It ”swish swish swish” transformed and charged towards the Swarm.

And then———it was engulfed by the furious tide of Explosive Mosquitoes.

”A bunch of idiots, one after another.”

Fang Zheng shook his head, then reached out to tap on the communication.

”This is Fang Zheng, Supreme Commander of the Heavenly Dao Palace Fleet. To the white warship, I want you to disarm immediately, stay where you are, and do not make any movements, or we will consider you an enemy and destroy you!”

As Fang Zheng spoke, the Swarm surrounded the warship and the remaining robots layer upon layer. The opposing side didn’t seem to be entirely foolish; perhaps the death of two comrades finally sobered them up a bit, and soon, Fang Zheng saw those robots obediently returned to the warship, which then quickly ceased all actions and just stayed quietly.

”Alright, let’s deal with the Reapers first.”

Seeing the unstable elements on the battlefield settled at last, Fang Zheng could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Then, with a wave of his hand, he signaled the Swarm to continue advancing.

Despite a minor unexpected incident, a few hours later, the Swarm still managed to completely eliminate those trouble-seeking Reapers and then dispersed once again to search for ”survivors” and build sub-bases. At this point, Fang Zheng brought his fleet in front of that white warship.

”It does look familiar, but I can’t recall it at the moment...”

Fang Zheng pondered for a moment as he looked at the white warship before him, but then shook his head. He could only be sure that the warship was definitely quite old, otherwise he wouldn’t feel such familiarity. It’s worth noting that ever since Fang Zheng started working, he stopped watching those hot-blooded mecha shows because of his monotonous daily life. He would rather enjoy slice-of-life shows with cute girls doing adorable things, or watch some comedy to lighten his mood instead of seeing anything related to fate, courage, justice, or war...

A bunch of wet-behind-the-ears kids know nothing about justice, fighting endlessly and creating frustration for viewers. Just writing code every day is hassle enough, can’t I have some relaxation while watching a new anime?

”Forget it, let’s see who these people are first.”

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng also shook his head, then spoke to Iona, Nymph, and Yui beside him.

”Iona, dock the ship.”

”Yes, Captain.”

Soon, Iona’s Annihilation Level ship securely docked beside the white warship, then connected to its hatch. Subsequently, Fang Zheng led Iona and Nymph, with Yui perched on his shoulder, to the opposing warship.

”Squeak———!”

The hatch slowly opened, and Fang Zheng entered the cabin.

Inside the cabin, dozens of uniformed crew members stood there, looking at Fang Zheng with eyes filled with surprise, shock, fear, and even anger...

”Who’s the captain?”

Fang Zheng only swept a glance over the crowd, then asked, whereupon a blue-haired girl in uniform stepped out from the group.

”I am Goto Yurika, Captain of the Nadeshiko. And you are...?”

”I am Fang Zheng, Supreme Commander of the Heavenly Dao Palace Fleet.”

Fang Zheng gazed at the girl in front of him, frowning slightly.

”May I ask, how did you end up here?”

”This...”

Hearing Fang Zheng’s question, the girl named Yurika exchanged glances with the boy beside her, who then stepped forward.

”We sincerely apologize; we did not intend to appear here. In fact, we were caught in a sudden time-space disturbance...”

”Alright.”

Fang Zheng was not interested in arguing about this matter with them.

”From now on, the Nadeshiko will be escorted to the rear, and you will be temporarily detained on this ship as prisoners. Is that clear?”

”Wait a minute, you!”

Just as Fang Zheng finished speaking, a black-haired man with a red headband suddenly strode out from the crowd, clenching his fists and glaring angrily at Fang Zheng.

”Those monsters killed our comrades. Are they under your command? You bastard... Aren’t you going to say something?”

”The Swarm did not attack you first, but it was your actions against the Swarm that prompted their counterattack.”

Fang Zheng coldly glanced at him.

”I regret your comrade’s death, but that is all.”

”You bastard!!”

Hearing this, the black-haired man roared, abruptly raising his fist and charging towards Fang Zheng.

”Take this———Earth-Shattering Punch!”

”Wait, Domon!!”

Seeing that someone from their side suddenly announced an attack on Fang Zheng, the Nadeshiko crew members were also shocked and tried to stop it, however, Fang Zheng simply watched the man calmly and snapped his fingers.

”Lock of Heaven.”

”Clang clang clang!!”

The next moment, countless chains appeared out of thin air, instantly binding the black-haired man named Domon tightly, while a multitude of weapons surrounded him from all directions. If Fang Zheng gave the order, the man would be dead the next moment, with blood splattering on the spot.

”This is a warning, try to attack me again, and it’s a dead end for you. From now on, you are my prisoners.”

After saying this, Fang Zheng swiftly turned and left, leaving only the stunned crew members of the Nadeshiko staring at him and the chains holding Domon tightly.

What is this?

Are you dreaming?
