Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom

Enzo and Matilda engaged in a strategic retreat towards the spaceship, fully aware that if they could board the vessel and leverage its armament systems, they might just be able to turn the tide of the battle.

As they neared the spacecraft, a cloaked figure suddenly emerged from the shadows, brandishing a blade emitting an eerie black glow, and lunged towards Matilda, who was preoccupied with fending off foes advancing from the front line, completely unsuspecting of the unexpected assault.

"Matilda, beware!" Enzo, witnessing the peril, brimming with urgency, swiftly maneuvered to intercept the oncoming blade, his silhouette materializing beside Matilda in a flash.

With a swift "hiss." the blade sliced through Enzo's forearm, crimson blood instantaneously trickling forth. Seizing the opportunity, Enzo forcefully pushed back the assailant with a well-placed kick, shielding Matilda from harm.

"Enzo, you're wounded!" Matilda cried out in anguish.

"Ignore my injury, board the ship first!" Enzo, gritting his teeth, instructed, the searing pain shooting up his arm causing a slight furrow of his brow, yet his gaze remained resolute.

Pressing forward towards the spacecraft, the duo finally reached the entrance. Enzo swiftly punched in the access code, unlocking the hatch, and together with Matilda, they dashed into the vessel.

Upon entering the spacecraft, Enzo hastened towards the cockpit, initiating the ship's defense mechanisms. A shimmering energy shield enveloped the craft, repelling the encroaching assailants who were swiftly thrown back upon making contact with the protective barrier.

"Hmph, let's see how long your bravado lasts!" Enzo, observing the thwarted foes beyond the shield, uttered coldly.

Engaging the ship's weaponry systems, he prepared to deliver a resounding lesson to these mysterious adversaries. However, at that very moment, the vessel's surveillance system sounded a warning alert. "Beep beep beep! Unidentified energy fluctuations detected in close proximity, exercise caution!"

Enzo furrowed his brow, scrutinizing the surveillance screen, only to witness a colossal black spacecraft hurtling towards them, exuding a potent malevolence that sent shivers down his spine.

"What is the meaning of this? Who are these individuals?" Matilda inquired anxiously.

Enzo shook his head. "I have no idea, but it appears they bring ill intentions. We must devise a plan to evade them."

Enzo amplified the energy output of the spacecraft's weapon systems, unleashing formidable beams of energy towards the mysterious figures and the approaching black vessel. The energy beams struck the enigmatic figures, causing them to tumble in disarray. However, the black spacecraft effortlessly evaded the assault, continuing its course towards them.

"Trouble looms. This vessel is formidable. We must swiftly depart this place!" Enzo exclaimed.

Guiding the spacecraft, he ascended rapidly, heading towards the outer space of Gamma Star. The black spacecraft, observing this, promptly gave chase, trailing closely behind.

Enzo maneuvered the spacecraft with accelerating speed, directing Matilda, "Matilda, please inspect the ship's systems to ensure their integrity. I will devise a plan to shake off our pursuer."

Matilda nodded, swiftly hurrying to check the ship's systems. Enzo, entirely focused, steered the spacecraft, navigating through space, attempting to lose their pursuer by utilizing various asteroids and meteorite belts.

Nonetheless, the black spacecraft clung to them like a festering sore, persisting closely behind, eluding all of Enzo's attempts to shake them off.

As Enzo began to feel a sense of urgency, he suddenly noticed a mysterious nebula ahead. The nebula emitted a kaleidoscope of colorful lights, appearing both beautiful and enigmatic. Yet, Enzo was aware that within this nebula could lie various perils. However, at that moment, in his pursuit to evade their pursuers,he can't care about that much anymore.

"Matilda, steady yourself, we are about to dash into that nebula!" Enzo shouted.

With that, he maneuvered the spacecraft, heading straight into the heart of the nebula without hesitation. The black ship seemed to hesitate at the edge of the nebula, but ultimately followed suit.

Upon entering the nebula, Enzo noticed the ship's instruments starting to malfunction, with the communication system also failing.

"Matilda, things are not looking good, the ship's instruments are being disrupted, we must find an exit quickly to leave this nebula!" Enzo exclaimed loudly.

Matilda joined him at the helm, observing the chaos of the instruments, and anxiously remarked, "What should we do? Will we be trapped here?"

Enzo clenched his teeth, "Don't worry, we will surely find a way out. Let's first see if we can manually control the ship and navigate past those dangerous energy fluctuations."

The two struggled to pilot the ship within the nebula, surrounded by vibrant lights and incessant energy surges that posed a threat to the ship with every misstep.

As they desperately searched for an exit, suddenly, a massive beam of energy shot out from deep within the nebula, heading straight for their ship.

"Watch out!" Enzo yelled, frantically steering the ship to evade. However, the energy beam was too swift, closing in on the ship rapidly.

Enzo swiftly maneuvered the ship, narrowly dodging the energy beam with a hairbreadth escape. Yet, the ship shook violently from the drastic maneuver, causing Enzo and Matilda to sway in the cockpit.

"Phew, that was close!" Matilda breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest.

"We are not out of danger yet. We must keep searching for an exit." Enzo stated firmly, his gaze fixed ahead as he continued to navigate the ship through the nebula.

Enzo and Matilda, in the nebula, are nervously piloting the spacecraft. The vibrant colors around them no longer appear beautiful at this moment. Instead, they resemble monsters ready to devour them. The instruments of the spacecraft occasionally emit a "sizzle" interference sound, sending shivers down their spines.

"Matilda, keep your eyes on the instruments. If anything unusual happens, let me know immediately!" Enzo tightly grips the steering wheel, shouting loudly, sweat beads the size of beans rolling down his forehead.

Matilda, too, does not dare to be negligent, her eyes fixed on the constantly flashing dashboard, muttering, "This darn thing, always messing up at critical moments, hmph!"

Just when both of them felt helpless, Matilda's eyes suddenly lit up. She exclaimed, "Enzo, look there! The instrument indicates a slight stabilization in the energy fluctuations over there. Could that be the direction of the exit?"

Following her pointed direction, Enzo also felt a glimmer of hope and quickly steered the spacecraft towards that direction. The spacecraft flew crookedly in the nebula, like a drunken man.

Finally, after a difficult flight, they saw a relatively bright area ahead. As the spacecraft emerged from the nebula, Enzo and Matilda couldn't help but cheer.

"Wow, we finally made it out, we almost didn't make it in there!" Matilda exclaimed excitedly, her face filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.

Enzo also breathed a sigh of relief, smiling, "Indeed, but we can't let our guard down yet. We need to check if that black spacecraft behind us is still following."

With that, he quickly checked the spacecraft's monitoring system and found that the black spacecraft did not follow, seemingly blocked by the dangers within the nebula.

"Let them play around in there for a while, let's withdraw first." Enzo chuckled triumphantly, then adjusted the spacecraft's course and flew towards the direction of the Alfa planet.

On the way back to the Alfa planet, Matilda looked at the silver metal shimmering in her hand, and said thoughtfully, "Enzo, after all the experiences we had in Gamma, what is the exact connection between this metal and the origin of the Ancestor Meat? I feel quite puzzled about it."

Enzo furrowed his brow and replied, "I'm not entirely sure, but since the relevant mission in that place mentioned finding this metal, there must be some connection. When we get back, we need to thoroughly study the Scrolls we brought out from the ruins, we might find more clues."

Matilda nodded, then suddenly remembered something else and said, "By the way, Enzo, do you remember the images we saw in that ancient tribe's ruins in the valley? I can't help but feel like the disaster depicted there is somehow related to what's happening now. Could there be some mysterious force at play behind all this?"

Enzo's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this and he said, "Now that you mention it, it's quite possible. The creatures emerging from underground in those images seemed quite ominous. And the giant figure frozen in that dark cave at the end, perhaps that's the source of all this. We need to search for more records about that tribe or that cave when we get back."

As they conversed, they closely monitored the spacecraft's flight. After a long journey, they finally returned to the Alfa planet.

Upon landing, Enzo received a call from Kosor.

"Enzo, you're finally back. How was your trip to Gamma? Did you gain anything?" Kosor's booming voice came through the phone..

Enzo chuckled and said, "We did have some gains, but also encountered quite a few troubles, almost didn't make it back. Matilda and I will come find you later to give you a detailed account."

"Alright, I'll be waiting for you at the usual spot, make it quick!" Kosor said before hanging up the phone.

Enzo and Matilda quickly packed up the things they brought back from Gamma and hurried to the designated meeting place as instructed by Kosor.

Upon arrival, Kosor was already waiting for them. Seeing the safe return of the two, Kosor greeted them with a smile, saying, "Oh my, you had me worried sick. Tell me, what happened on Gamma?!"

Enzo and Matilda then recounted their experiences on Gamma to Kosor in great detail, including encounters with various monsters, discoveries in the valley ruins, and the attack of the black spacecraft.

After listening, Kosor furrowed his brow and remarked, "This sounds quite intricate. It's clear that the black spacecraft was after the metal you have in your possession, indicating that many are eyeing that object. You both must be cautious, lest someone has their sights set on you."
