On the third day after leaving Faith, the independent warship Qin Lun and the others rode crossed the superluminal trajectory and arrived at the outermost edge of the second rotating arm. It’s hundreds of thousands of light-years away from the center of the galaxy.

Locating in a galaxy and at the edge of a galaxy was a completely different matter. The starry scenery that Apostle had seen when they first entered the Gospel World had disappeared. Looking out of the window of the battleship, the most common sight they saw was a deep and bottomless darkness.

According to Dong Yue, Vera, and the others, this was also a common form of star blindness among space travelers on long-distance trips. Seeing so many stars, the human body would deliberately ignore the faint starlight and treat the surroundings as complete darkness.

A similar environment could probably only be compared to the absolute depths of the planet. Apart from the icy cold and deathly silence, humans were often unable to experience the third emotion.

The pitch black Attack was like a ghost that had returned to the depths of the sea. Apart from its slightly good offensive power, the modified independent warship’s defense was much weaker. Of course, it also had an APB force field. However, in a battleship-level contest, the defensive force field it possessed was almost useless.

This was also a weakness that the small independent warship could not make up for. However, although the Attack did not have a strong defense capability, its stealth performance was very good with the Jannamer biological armor attached to the surface of the warship.

In fact, science and technology had reached the third universe era, and mankind had long abandoned gunpowder technology. Neither Gaussian nor particle-beam power engines emit much light or heat in a vacuum without atmosphere.

The most practical thermal sensing probe of the old era has become a kind of cold detector in the universe and space. Especially when the two sides were too far away, the little bit of heat the warship emitted was almost no different from the starlight.

The most commonly used detectors in space are metal and momentum detection radars. Although most battleships nowadays used composite materials, after all, the proportion of metal was very large. It was fundamentally different from many asteroids and meteorites, so it was easy for them to be captured by detection radars.

As for the momentum detection radar, it was a device that could feedback the acceleration of an object. This thing could also allow warships to quickly detect enemies, be it metal warships or living creatures in the universe.

Attack uses biological armor that essentially bypasses most thermal and metal detection radars and “deceives” momentum detection without acceleration. If the materials weren’t too precious, Captain Marcus would have wanted to lay a layer on the Faith after learning the result of the modification of the Attack.

As they neared the star system where the asteroid X-352 was located, the young crew aboard the Attack became even more vigilant.

However, there was nothing wrong with Apostle. Even Robin, the nominal captain, did not know how to command a warship. On the other hand, Dong Yue, this beautiful adjutant, had been too sensitive these past few days. She had personally investigated every small movement. Her originally beautiful watery big eyes had now turned into panda eyes.

The efforts of the Keith beauties made Apostle feel the tense atmosphere before the war. Each of them was immersed in the simulation module, training in their own air combat techniques with the other paired pilots.

“Sir, let’s call it a day!” Qin Lun’s simulation cabin opened outwards, and a person came out from both the left and right. On the left was Kieran, who was sweating profusely, and on the right was another youth with a tender face and acne on his face.

“I lost again!” Looking at the dazzling 11: 0 screen in the simulation room, Qin Lun was speechless as he looked at the cheering youth in front of him.

The youth named Phil was the youngest of the four Keith pilots in charge of working with him. He was about a star year younger than Vera. He was also a fourteen-year-old youth.

Back then, Qin Lun had asked him to be his training partner, mainly because he wanted to choose a rookie that was easy to deal with. However, he had forgotten that Giese’s talent for semi-biological mecha was that the younger he was, the more powerful he would be. The simulation module they trained couldn’t simulate Apostle’s replacement ability. As a result, Qin Lun had to be tortured by Phil every day after training for the past few days.

‘”Haha, Phil, we’ve been watching from the sidelines! Sir, you’ve made great progress these past few days. Although you can still win now, it’s getting harder and harder every time. If you continue at this rate, Sir will be able to win and lose with you in another ten days.”

Looking at the youth’s complacent appearance, a gentle young man on the sidelines couldn’t help but say something to attack him. Qin Lun smiled and nodded at him when he heard that someone was defending him. This was the last male in the four-man group, named Alex.

Alex was the oldest of the five, except for Qin Lun. He was exactly twenty years old this year. Her face was handsome, and her temperament was gentle. Normally, she liked to read books when she did not have combat missions. She appeared gentle and refined. From her manners, she could tell that she had received systematic etiquette training.

According to others, Alex had a good background and was a noble descendant of Giese. His talent in air combat was slightly inferior to Phil’s. However, his personality was calm, and he was the vice captain of this squad. However, as the captain, Qin Lun was not in charge of the squad’s air combat tactics, so he was also the crew captain in essence.

“That’s right, that’s right. You little fellow, don’t be too complacent!” Another fiery red-haired girl beside him hugged Fels’ slender neck fiercely and used her pink fist to grind his head, causing him to cry.

“Alright, Merry, let him go!” Qin Lun smiled and stopped the red-haired girl.

“Sir, I’m avenging you!” The red-haired Merry blushed and embarrassedly let go of Phil.

“Yes, yes, I’m avenging you!” Phil, who had escaped from the devil’s palm, jumped far away and made a strange face at Merry while winding at Qin Lun.

“Ah, bastard Phil, stop right there and see if I don’t beat you to death!” Hearing Fels’ implied words, the hot-tempered girl’s cheeks instantly burst out in curses.

“It’s good to be young!” Qin Lun smiled and shook his head as he watched the two of them chase after each other.

“Haha, sir, you don’t seem to be old either!” Alex couldn’t help but ask with a smile.

“I’m different from you!” Qin Lun smiled and stopped talking about this topic. Instead, his eyes flickered as he asked, “Alex, you’ve seen so many of my training sessions. What do you think my biggest weakness in air combat is? Why do I always lose to Phil every time I feel like I have a chance of winning?”

“Sir, you don’t have any flaws. If you have to find a flaw, it’s that your training time is still too short.” Alex suddenly smiled bitterly and shook his head. “Captain Marcus once told me that Apostle was a natural born warrior. I didn’t think so at that time, but now it doesn’t seem like an exaggeration at all.”

You know what? Over the past few days, the learning ability of you and your companions in battle has almost overturned my entire outlook on life.

We in Giese, even top mecha geniuses like Phil and Vera, need years and months of training to reach our current level. But you only need less than ten days of simulation training to contend against us, and you haven’t used Apostle’s special ability yet … ”

“Alex, you should know that the last thing we need is time!” Qin Lun smiled noncommittally. “I know I must be flawed in some way. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been caught off guard by Phil all the time.”

Qin Lun did not directly answer Alex’s doubts. In fact, in his opinion, Alex’s so-called combat genius was only Apostle’s Law Body.

Ordinary people do need to go through months and years of training in order to form conditioned reflex and remember the training content. However, Apostle did not need it. Their Law Body was like a sophisticated computer. Who had ever seen a computer program that needed to be typed twice before it could be saved?

When shattering the starry sky, even if it was a high-level magic skill, Apostle only needed to tear off a scroll.

In particular, Qin Lun had the data support of the death list. The training content of Pilot Officer Keith for more than ten years was already very complicated. Under Apostle’s memories of the Laws, it would take them more than ten days to complete the training.

“There are no flaws in your shooting and tactical movements, especially … this is the first time I’ve seen someone able to tear apart the Gaussian Phased Array and shoot out that arc of metal!” Alex recalled the details of the training and couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

After thinking for a while, he finally said again, “It’s actually very simple to talk about how Phil defeated you. When I was at the Mech Academy, instructors would usually only let our students understand this kind of problem, not speak it out. However, since you need to finish it quickly, I can tell you.”

“En, tell me!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly. He was always being bullied by a fourteen-year-old youth. Even he couldn’t help but feel a little helpless.

‘”Haha, a universe air battle is not like a one-on-one battle on the ground. A good spear technique is only one aspect. More importantly, you must learn to ignore the sense of direction. There is no difference between left and right in an air battle, and there is no ground to stand on. You must learn to observe from all directions. You cannot subconsciously feel as if you are still standing on the ground.”

Alex chuckled and said, “Phil can catch you every time. That’s because you always have some habitual evasive movements in battle, such as moving backwards, avoiding left and right, ignoring the up and down directions. The kid can see that and hides this cunningly, so he always catches your evasive direction ahead of time. Is that not a loss?”

“Haha, so it’s that simple!” ‘”Thank you, Alex!” Qin Lun laughed heartily.

“Nothing much. I really want to see Fayes’s face after he loses the next time!” Alex blinked his eyes humorously, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

After untangling his knot, Qin Lun appeared very happy and invited Alex to the casino of the warship for a drink. The scholarly, scholarly, and more warrior-like young man readily accepted the invitation. The young men of Keith, including him, enjoyed listening to Apostle tell them about some of his previous adventures.

Although the starry sky still forbade Apostle from feeding back information about other mission worlds to the characters, this world wasn’t that strict, and it didn’t prevent Qin Lun from using storytelling to circumvent certain restrictions.

‘”Dudu ~ ~” Just as the two of them walked towards the entertainment hall, the button-type communicator they were wearing on their collar suddenly flashed a red warning signal.

“An enemy attack?!” Qin Lun and Alex looked at each other in surprise and immediately ran towards their respective mecha cabins.
