After countless bloody battles and breaking through one layer after another of seemingly endless interception nets, Bai E finally piloted his severely damaged yet still resilient "Monster Warship" to the near-Earth orbital area of Mine Star.
However, the sight before him made his heart sink.
The space near the orbit of Mine Star presented an extremely bizarre state.
The physical rules here seemed distorted.
The space itself was no longer a uniform darkness but enveloped in a thin layer of constantly changing colored "data fog."
The surface of the planet, the orbital facilities, and even the remnants of battle which should have been clearly visible, became indistinct within the fog—blurred outlines as if viewed through a fluctuating water surface.
More terrifying was the chaos of perception.
The warship's sensors completely failed here; the radar screen was a snowstorm and meaningless gibberish, the optical sensors captured distorted images that intermittently synced.
