Chapter 406: 189 The Difficult Journey of Fishing for a Valkyrie

Feinan.

The silent deep space was displayed in a three-dimensional projection called a map.

Detection ships belonging to Molly Miss were marked as light red triangle symbols. Each blink represented a "tiny" change in their position.

Yang Ming, holding a bottle of Genetic Stabilization Liquid with a taste similar to beer, listened to Lyu recounting his grudges with Valkyrie, feeling a twinge of sentiment.

Kigrov might be dead;

But he still seemed like a lingering ghost, with negative impacts continuing even now.

After Lyu finished the story, Kolev, Mimili, and 026 all fell silent.

They were at a loss for how to evaluate Yang Ming’s somewhat ridiculous experiences.

Lyu narrated a story of Empire officer Hanton undergoing transformation, fully interpreting Yang Ming’s journey from love to resentment towards the Empire.

The Earth matters had nothing to do with Kolev and the others, and Yang Ming would not allow anyone, other than Lyu, or any Thought Body to know.

Mimili was the first to sort through this information in her mind, frowning as she said,

"So, what we are facing is a genetically modified monster that can easily destroy a battleship from the inside?"

"Yes," Yang Ming said, "This is the main reason I hesitated to let you join the action; it’s very dangerous."

"It’s also very interesting," Mimili smiled, "A threat even the mighty White Ghost fears, it’s quite challenging."

Kolev muttered, "You can’t defeat her head-on?"

"I defeated her once," Yang Ming took a swig of the Stabilization Liquid, "But she hadn’t mastered many combat skills at that time. Now she is terrifying, to the point where the Empire’s previous announcement about discovering a destroyed Insect Race nest... that wasn’t my doing."

Kolev was shocked: "The opponent annihilated an Insect Swarm alone?"

Lyu added, "Still, without alarming any power."

The old pirate fell into deep thought.

raised his hand to speak, "Our current goal is to find the Ghost Ship where she is hiding and then destroy her, right?"

"Correct," Lyu, dressed as a secretary, quickly responded, "We have been secretly searching for her whereabouts. However, after her initial failure with the Sherman Empire, Po Suo clearly adjusted her strategy. She began using this ship’s cover for continuous activities, and the crew and passengers aboard should have fallen victim."

Yang Ming added, "Although I know she still has humanity, we must not regard her as human. She is driven by the instincts of the Ancient Gods."

His words paused as memories of being repeatedly wiped out in front of Valkyrie crossed his mind.

Although "Abyss" was just a ’data’ segment of the Milky Way extracted at a certain point in time, it underwent virtual evolution, and Valkyrie’s traits should be the same.

Yang Ming suddenly thought of the tumorous Kigrov.

Because of his appearance and intervention, Kigrov chose the route of destroying everything with an Antimatter Bomb;

If Yang Ming hadn’t appeared, Valkyrie would have still gone berserk, attempted to seize control of the research ship, and Kigrov used equivalent modification surgery to suppress Valkyrie for thirty years;

During this process, did the Sherman Empire never try to find them?

Yang Ming frowned tightly.

Or perhaps, was the Kigrov from that timeline always in communication with the Empire?

"Boss?" 026 called out softly.

Yang Ming stopped his wild thoughts, shook his head, and cast aside these ideas.

That was another possibility.

Now they were on a new possibility.

A possibility with his presence.

"What’s up?"

said, "I’ve been thinking, can we leverage the influence of the White Ghost within the Sherman Empire?"

Lyu immediately denied, "It’s best not to connect White Ghost and Valkyrie. Valkyrie has been identified as a product of Kigrov’s research ship, and if White Ghost got involved, it would only have negative repercussions."

nodded obediently, not daring to speak further.

"No, no, no," Kolev shook his head like a rattle, "Lyu, your idea is wrong. As long as the White Ghost continues to be exposed, and given that this entity’s fighting style resembles Valkyrie’s, they will inevitably be linked."

Lyu blinked.

Mimili also said, "Pirates are used to planning for the worst and then thinking of the optimal solution."

Yang Ming nodded slightly on the side.

"And..."

Kolev, with a face full of wrinkles, reflected deeply and said slowly,

"Firstly, our best approach is to let others do the work for us, using Sherman Empire’s hand to eliminate Valkyrie.

"To achieve this, three factors must be met: Valkyrie must pose a threat to the Empire’s security, find Valkyrie’s whereabouts, and ensure Valkyrie will not surrender to the Empire.

"If she surrenders, she will inevitably become a key research subject, and your situation will become incredibly dangerous."

Yang Ming nodded, "Indeed, that’s the case."

"Although this seems like the best plan, due to these restrictive conditions, it’s very hard to accomplish and full of uncertainties."

Kolev said solemnly,

"So, I recommend that you better find a way to lead her into a firepower advantage zone and use the Starship’s artillery to resolve everything.

"No matter how powerful she is, it’s impossible for her to withstand the firepower coverage of a fleet, and the largest resource you have now is the Luofeng Empire’s military.

"My dear nephew captain, you must utilize the power you have accumulated over the years."

Yang Ming frowned thoughtfully, beginning to pace slowly.

The Wind was now his foundation, and its position was too precarious, as it was a vassal state of Sherman and also ’missed’ by the New Federation. When the New Federation recovered, they were sure to engage in a series of actions against Wind.
