——————————

Liue charged furiously at Li Aozi, ready to capture and abduct him on the spot.

In the vacuum of space, her gravity waves echoed everywhere, this unattenuated energy instantly disrupted the signals across the entire cosmos, forcing eight hundred fifty-nine star harbors to shut down. It forced everyone to switch to gravity wave communication to understand the true nature of the issue.

"Breaking news, a high-intensity gravity wave burst on Kalanze Star has caused a cosmic travel congestion, primarily affecting: Valkyrie Fortress, Velden Civilization, Curran Agricultural Union..."

"Rupert’s News Network front-line reporter claims: The source of the gravity wave burst is suspected to be two unique advanced [Mutants], surprisingly within the cosmic community where the [Sovereign] faction seldom hears of pathways mastering [Gravity]..."

"Reliable sources confirm, the identities of the combatants have been verified, one is Delta Rank, one is Gamma Rank, space station workers observed, both are non-affiliated individuals but the Delta Rank Transcendent’s identity has been substantiated as the well-known former Level-4 Researcher of Life Commune, Ald Medcag Liue."

"Exclusive scoop! The man fighting Liue, a Gamma Rank individual, is suspected to have appeared at Valkyrie Fortress just a day ago..."

The Echo Blade slashed down fiercely, Li Aozi instantly shifted gravity, pulling back his position, but unexpectedly Liue also altered gravity, changing direction mid-air and thrust a sword forward.

Thwack!

Li Aozi was not quick enough, his chest was pierced again, and this time, Liue showed no mercy; a critical hit almost depleted Li Aozi’s health points.

However, Li Aozi was not worried; instead, he laughed:

"You’ve been tricked!"

He raised his hand, grabbed Liue’s wrist, and blue-purple neural tentacles shot out, the [Severing Life] arcane energy immediately halted her recovery while he fiercely sucked her blood, bringing his health points back to safety.

Simultaneously, Li Aozi’s right fingertip rapidly flickered, as if pulling thousands of threads, continuously linking them together.

[Death Link]!

Liue’s body turned cold; the average space temperature was a negative two hundred seventy degrees. With her bio-engineered body, she shouldn’t have felt this cold.

Li Aozi’s life was now linked to hers.

"All flash, no substance," scoffed the old-school scholar Liue.

"Shallow understanding," the future version of Li Aozi responded calmly.

The next moment, both of their figures shifted instantaneously.

[Gravity]—Overload Acceleration!

Li Aozi’s body tore through spatial ripples, swiftly escaping.

[Gravity]—Overload Acceleration!

Liue extended her arms; her whole body instantly transformed into a blue-purple meteor, relentlessly pursuing him.

Li Aozi rapidly shuffled his position in the uninhabited cosmic zone, turned, and accelerated. Affected by the ’Truth Drug,’ he entered the battle as if he switched to a different persona, performing all operations effortlessly and cleanly.

Unprecedentedly efficient and powerful.

As he continued to shake Liue off his tail by making continuous sharp turns and then using the movements of his limbs to turn around and face his pursuer, he casually snapped his fingers.

Ping—

[Spontaneous Combustion]

Brilliant flames burst into flame on Li Aozi’s body, [Death Link] immediately transferred to Liue, who grunted, her body now covered with scorch marks.

There are three main ways heat transfers: convection, conduction, radiation. In space, due to the thin vacuum air, convection is impossible, leaving only conduction and radiation for cooling, even though space’s low temperature, organisms can’t cool down quickly through normal methods.

Liue’s countermeasure was highly efficient and seasoned; her body quickly expanded, ejecting two small orbs, spinning them while bursting with intense light.

She almost turned into a spindle-shaped blue fireball, evaporating her own flesh while intensifying light radiation for cooling, using the centrifugal force generated by the spinning to continuously accelerate the previously ejected orbs.

No fanciness, no reliance on arcane energies, almost entirely precise calculations and understanding of gravity theories.

Within seconds, under her skillful manipulation, the two orbs, due to the heat radiation, became blazing hot, high-pressure fireballs.

Supercompressed Collapse!

In just an instant, Liue’s controlled two orbs’ brightness surpassed that of a sun five times. If lucky, the light she released now would reach Azure Star in fifty thousand years, bringing a grand celebration to the unenlightened scientific community there.
