Chapter 340
”No! Damn it, it’s another pathogen!”
Chris yelled loudly . He quickly pressed on a few buttons, his fingers left a series of afterimages . In just a fraction of a second, Elvira moved sharply to the side, dodging the claw attack .
The giant claw above them crashed down, plunged heavily into the sea, creating a comet-like explosion, then abruptly disappearing .
The people in the base far away looked at all of this with stunned expressions on their faces .
In the military base on the coast, Miller, Henry, and Tang Guo looked at the scene not far away with astonishment . The tsunami created as a result of the collision struck heavily on their steel wall, causing the base to shake slightly .
However, they didn’t pay attention to this, they are still immersed in the previous scene .
A golden giant claw fell from the sky . The giant steel-like claw is over 1 kilometer long . Furthermore, its appearance out of nowhere and its acceleration to cosmic speeds level made it power almost like that of a meteor .
”That’s… the body of the ‘Great Will’, the Pathogen?”
Tang Guo struggled to say .
”It’s too big, what kind of creature is this?”
Miller swallowed his saliva . He stood next to Tang Guo and Henry on a tower on the base . They looked as all of these previous events unfolded in just a few seconds .
The giant claw has disappeared, but the tsunamis it generated are still striking their base .
”It’s another pathogen!”
In the control room of the Elvira, Locker’s face was extremely ugly . He didn’t think that there would really be two Pathogens on the same planet .
”Captain, what should we do now?”
Chris glanced nervously at the screen in front of him . On which the scenery around their spaceship was projected . He is afraid that another claw will attack them from a random direction .
”That pathogen has definitely evolved to the third stage!”
Chris said loudly . Their judgment this time is fatally wrong . Pathogens that have evolved to the third stage can no longer be dealt with planet-destroying spacecraft .
In fact, even the planet-destroying spacecraft itself is in danger after encountering this type of creature .
According to the SkyRiver civilization’s research on pathogens . This type of creature can be divided into five stages .
Pathogens in the first stage have a relatively small size and timid personality . They will instinctively hide upon encountering danger . Their attack methods are mainly mental attacks, physical attacks, electromagnetic pulses, and energy beams .
Pathogens in the second stage are larger . They basically have the same attacks as those of the first stage pathogens, but they are vastly more powerful and aggressive .
Apart from Planet-destroying weapons, Pathogens of the second stage can hardly be killed .
Pathogens of the third stage are vastly more powerful . They are on a whole new level . They might no be that much different from level 2 pathogens in terms of size . Most of them have a body size around dozens of kilometers .
However, they have a new space manipulation ability .
They can use this ability to freely attack, just like the giant claw before . Perhaps the body of the pathogen is thousands of kilometers away, but it can use its space ability to fold space and strike enemies from a very long distance away .

Pathogens of this stage can no longer be deal with just using planet-destroying spaceships .
Not only can it escape trough space whenever it wants, but just its space folding ability is also enough to cause a headache for them .
Although a planet-destroying cannon does have the ability to destroy planets, it does not mean that it has the ability to destroy any planet in a single shot .
Using the majority of energy that their spaceship has, they can transform an average-sized life planet into a dead rock . As for truly destroying a planet and reducing it into pieces, their cannons can do so only to small planets .
In fact, planet-destroying cannons itself has many different levels . For spaceships like Elvira that are responsible for patrolling remote areas of the galaxy, they are equipped with only a low level one .
Higher-level planet destroyers only need a single shot to reduce a planet like the Earth into dust . However, weapons of that level and above aren’t used for patrol .
Firstly, they are too precious and secondly, they are too costly to use .
Cannons of that level not only are extremely huge and heavy . The energy required to use them is ginormous . Furthermore, after using them, many of the weaker weapons won’t be usable anymore due to the lack of energy .
They are generally used in large-scale interstellar battlefields, mainly for strategic deterrence .
Elvira is a Victory-class planet destroyer from the SkyRiver Empire . Its overall strength belongs to the lower class amongst all destroyers of the Empire . Its speed under normal navigation is slow, its space jumping ability is relatively slow and laggy, its defense is almost fragile, not to mention its inferior firepower .
Of course, this is compared to other planet destroyers from the SkyRiver Empire .
Compared with the motherships and spaceship of the Blue Plate Federation, it’s basically a super-advanced spaceship a few hundred years ahead . This is why Locker and Chris entered the orbit of the earth so carelessly and fought head one with the military of the Federation .
”We must immediately leave this planet . ”

Locker didn’t hesitate to pass the order . Although the rewards they will get after killing the Pathogen are very enticing, their safety is still more important .
There are two pathogens on this planet, and one of them has reached the third stage .
”We will probably die if we continue to stay here . ”
Locker yelled loudly .
”Activate the hyperspace engine and immediately initiate the space jump!”
A loud noise suddenly sounded from the alien spaceship . Space suddenly started to be distorted around . At the same time, an energy shield suddenly enclosed it . This is Elvira’s preparation for the space jump .
When the power generator is in operation, it will quickly distort the nearby space, creating a wormhole . The energy shield is there to protect the spaceship from deadly interstellar gas and dark matter particles .
After discovering that this pathogen is not something they can deal with, Locker decisively gave the retreat order . He is planning to go back and report this matter .
”Damn monster, what awaits you is the empire’s planet-destroyer fleet!”
Locker said with a cruel smile on his face . He once participated in an interstellar war . At that time, he was also controlling this spacecraft, Elvira . In that battle, he destroyed a high-class planet destroyer and received a badge of honor, which is still hanging on his chest until now .
This is his pride .
Even in such a fierce and devastating war, he still bravely moved forward and successfully destroyed a higher-class spaceship .

However, right now he suffered such a big loss on this ordinary planet . Before even the opponent revealed itself, he fled in panic . This is a shame he can’t tolerate .
”I swear that you won’t have such good luck next time I come to this planet . ”
Locker pledged in his heart .
His Elvira is around 1 . 5 kilometers long and belongs to the Victory-class planet-destroyer . Above that is an Imperial-class planet destroyer .
For example, his boss, Colonel Reel Hall is the captain of an Imperial-class planet-destroyer .
Furthermore, the Imperial-class planet Destroyer of Colonel Reel Hall is still the main ship of their star destroyer fleet .
Of course, in peaceful times, many star destroyer fleets will be temporarily disbanded, and different spaceships in the fleet have to perform other tasks, such as patrolling for example .
When there’s a war, the star destroyer fleets will gather together to participate in the war .
While Locker was thinking about this, Elvira has reached a critical juncture . Just 2 to 3 seconds before initiating the space jump .
The roar of the spacecraft’s engine reached its extreme, finally activating and instantly disappearing from that place . In the next second, they entered a space tunnel;
”Oh!”
In the control room of the spaceship, Locker and the others celebrated their successful escape .
However, their expression changed in the next second .
