"Has the distress signal been sent out yet?"

In the main control room, the captain was covered in sweat while the operator at the side was panicking.

"Our communications have been jammed; all signals are blocked."

"Impossible, the communication device on Public Space Vessel is a high-grade device brought from a galactic civilization. How do these Pirates have such high-grade equipment‽"

The captain was shocked and furious. Galactic long-range communicators had universality and diversity, causing signal blocking devices to be very expensive. Furthermore, the enemy had an 'anti-jump' device that could disrupt the space and prevent jumping.

The captain was devastated. These Pirates are way too well equipped!

The Public Space Vessel was unable to escape or request help—it could only last for a short time with its shield and armor. There was still a chance to survive. If the high energy in the area was captured by the detectors Godora set up around the galaxy, security would rush to help.

In the populated Star Zones, the ruling civilization was the main security. The detectors were very sensitive, and some of them had fixed locations, monitoring a large area with artificial intelligence, like a secured perimeter.

At the time, the Public Space Vessel was flying toward the nearest detector. Since they could not space jump, it would take them about twenty to twenty-five minutes to reach the secured perimeter at full speed. The Pirate spaceships were small and agile but not very powerful in their attacks. The shield could barely last for this amount of time.

However, the enemies boarding the ship were the imminent threat. The guards in the ship were gradually losing, and their target was definitely the main control room.

If the main control room was taken, it would mean that the Public Space Vessel had lost. At that point, escaping would become a dream.

"Only one-third of the guards are left; they're retreating and can't stop the enemies… The Pirates are coming toward the main control room. Captain, what do we do now?" An assistant looked at the surveillance image and shivered nervously.

"Try to negotiate!" The captain clenched his teeth, turned on the broadcast, and with not much hope, expressed that they were willing to pay them 'passage money'. However, the Pirates did not reply; it was clear that they wanted to take the entire ship.

The Pirates had only blocked the signals outside, so the internal broadcast in the ship could still function.

Guards fell one after another in the surveillance image, and the captain was getting desperate. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he asked, "Quickly, get the passenger list, see if there's someone strong!"

Someone frantically filtered the passenger list, and a few people's identities were displayed. All of them were slightly renowned combat personnel, and among them, the most famous one was the high-level mercenary 'The Cybernator'.

"The Cybernator! It's him! Great!"

The captain was overjoyed. He hastily announced through the broadcast, "Passengers, the situation right now is very urgent. The Pirates are heading toward the main control room. I hope the passengers with combat abilities can help us. This is saving yourselves, too, and I will pay a large monetary reward…"

The current situation was almost desperate. They would only have a chance to escape if the enemies on the ship could be defeated, so the passengers were his last hope.

The captain could only rely on the passengers, especially the renowned Cybernator.

Huuu!

The war hammer swung sideways and blew away a large group of the spaceship guards.

Stoned swung the war hammer with one hand, covered in gray scorching flames. The bullets and low-level energy beams could only leave white marks on his stone skin—this was his race talent, making him very tough.

He was laughing insolently, charging forward with ease, and forced the guards away. The battle in the ship was heated—the shield outside was covered in explosions too. It was like a song of war.

"Where are we now?"

"Boss, first class is right ahead. Casey is waiting for you there."

Not long after, the metal gate of the first class appeared in front—it was locked. Stoned held onto the handle of the hammer with both hands this time, spun around twice, and bashed the gate. With a loud bang, the gate was blasted away.

A pirate walked out with a smile and said, "You're finally here."

"Good job, where's that Kirkrade?"

"In economy class."

"Good!" Stoned grinned, turned around, and saw a group of passengers freaking out. He then ordered, "Capture all of them as hostages. Some of you stay here to guard."

A group of Pirates cuffed small black rings onto the passengers' hands and feet, which then extended automatically into mechanical cuffs. They were very thick and tough, and even normal Powerful individuals  could not escape them. All of those passengers were taken hostage.

There were a few powerful people in these passengers, but the Pirates outnumbered them. After seeing Stoned's strength, any will to resist vanished.

Stoned then headed toward the economy class hall and brought those passengers under control once again. They searched carefully, but there was no sign of the Kirkade , which made him furious.

"I only moved to the first class yesterday, and the spaceship never made a stop," Casey said hastily. "He is definitely still on the ship."

Stoned grabbed the head of a passenger and yelled, "Where's that Kirkade ?"

"The—they broke through the door earlier and ran out," the person answered hastily.

Bang!

His head was crushed. Blood splattered onto the faces of the other hostages, and they screamed.

Stoned shook his hands and said angrily, "They actually ran away. Go, find them now…"

Before he could finish his sentence, the voice of the other group of Pirates came out of the communicator. "Request for backup! We met a strong Super on the way to the main control room and were stopped. Please help!"

"Boss, the target is in this spaceship and won't be able to run away," Casey said hurriedly. "We should take over the main control room first. As long as we have control of the spaceship, we will find the target sooner or later."

Stoned nodded and said, "Then let's go to the main control room. Casey, you stay here with some people to keep these passengers under control."

"No problem."

The economy class passengers were cuffed and thrown aside. With the Pirates aiming their firearms at them, they were shivering and did not dare move.

Stoned took some people and headed toward the main control room. The spaceship was rather large, so it took some time for them to finally arrive at the scene. Corpses of the Pirates were scattered all over the floor. Stoned saw a flash and a green burst of light like a fountain at the end of the path. About a dozen Pirates were thrown against the wall. Their bodies were twisted, and their bones were broken.

The Cybernator stood at the path to the main control room with a cold face. Blue Micro LED light covered his body like ripples, able to control a nanoswarms that could be melded into various shapes, which could be used to attack and defend. This was also how he had gotten his name.

"Look, Cybernator, a high-level mercenary, a remnant of the Cyborg race." Desire appeared in Stoned's eyes. He gripped his war hammer, walked toward him with excitement, and said, "Finally, someone strong."

The Cybernators eyes were filled with coldness. He was a cold hearted individual but the reason he was helping was mostly because he would never be able to get to the Cosmic Genuis. Otherwise, he would have gonelong ago.

With a deft motion, his prosthetic left arm began to reconfigure, folding and transforming into a menacing weapon of unparalleled power. The blackened muzzle of a plasma cannon emerged from the limb's articulated joints, glowing with an ominous energy as it hummed to life. In an instant, a hail of deadly laser beams lanced forth from the weapon's aperture, striking the hapless pirate scum with a blistering intensity that melted their flesh and incinerated their vital organs. The searing beams of plasma penetrated their chests with lightning-fast speed, leaving behind smoldering holes in their bodies as they crumpled to the ground, their once-thriving lives snuffed out in an instant.

The other Pirates looked for cover hastily and fought back. Stoned was fearless. He charged forward with large strides—the lasers only left burn marks on his skin. He spun the war hammer covered in thick gray flames and bashed straight down on The Cybernator's head!

Cybernator raised his left arm. Metal colored nano swarms escaped his body, forming a burning silver shield and blocked his head.

Bang!

The impact rippled through the shield, and sparks

splashed all over the place.

At the aft of the vessel, David, the amphibious humanoid man adorned with gills protruding from his visage, stood alongside the Kirkade before a massive security door, the epicenter of the ship's armaments and vital provisions. The impenetrable gateway safeguarded the vessel's cache of advanced weaponry and other crucial cargo with a formidable defense system, the likes of which werent rare in the galaxy but were certainly top grade.
