As they entered the space rift, the entire Minos' spaceship crew felt their vehicle's structure creaking as if great external forces were trying to twist it.
Meanwhile, three dark rays struck the spaceship's surface, much of their power weakened by the defenses of Minos, Maximillian, and the spaceship's defensive arrays. Even so, parts of it were shattered, with cracks appearing in structures that should have been able to withstand the full power of level 99 cultivators.
While much of the spaceship was crumpled, and the crew tried to steer it through the chaos of space that was trying to destroy it, some of its major components failed.
"Shit! We've lost the attack system!" One of the crew members shouted as he saw the failure warnings on the part he was responsible for.
"Someone must go to the engine room and check the situation!"
"The defense system is failing! Our defenses will hold for another 40 seconds at most!"
Several people commented almost simultaneously as everyone broke into a cold sweat from the horrible experience of being in a spatial storm.
Ruth sensed the first crewmembers to be affected by the chaotic power around the spaceship, noticing the weakening of those individuals as spiritual energy from inside the vehicle escaped into the void of unexplored space.
She directed her powers to help more of those who needed it, but she focused on Minos as she felt her husband's powers diminish.
Not only was Minos running out of energy, but so was Maximillian. The God had already used up 50% of his power in the previous attack, and now, defending the ship, he had already lost another 25% of his energy.
"Shit! How long is this going to last?" He asked the level 98 robot next to him, who was feeding his energy into one of the many shields around the spaceship.
"45 seconds or so. It might be a little less or a little more." Said the robot.
Meanwhile, Minos felt various pains throughout his body, as if his very soul was being attacked.
He didn't hesitate to use his immortal energy with one of the defensive techniques based on this form of power.
Directing almost everything he had into his attempt to defend the ship and give his companions some relief, he made a golden shield grow around the ship, completely blocking a black lightning attack.
But with the next attack that would hit them, this defense would lose much of its effectiveness, allowing some of the power of the black rays attacking this spaceship to pass through it.
In the midst of this, the space around them was shaking strangely, and their surroundings were changing so quickly that it seemed as if they were in a vehicle that was moving very fast through an illuminated area. But they were practically standing still at that moment while the space around them was changing, causing this strange phenomenon.
Suddenly, everyone on the spaceship looked up as if something had pushed them up.
Then, their ship disappeared from where it was being attacked by everything around it, passing through a strange portal that appeared and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
None of them noticed the details of what had happened. When they least expected it, they saw their surroundings change, with the phenomena trying to destroy their group disappearing. They appeared in a place that didn't look like the free space of the universe.
Noticing the sudden change in their surroundings, Minos saw a pink sky on the outside of the spaceship, while below where they were falling, there was a large green-speckled mass and several blue dots here and there. "That..."
Maximillian saw the same thing as Minos and remained silent for a moment.
But then the voice of the spaceship's controller, which had been destroyed by more than 60% at that moment, rang out to everyone.
"We are in free fall! We've lost our defense and attack systems and our engines! We are not flying! I repeat, we are falling!" A man's agitated voice rang in the ears of everyone inside the large, crumpled vehicle, which was broken into many pieces, with several others missing.
"Damn it! What are we going to do?"
"We have to fly out of the ship! If we hit the ground at the speed we're going, we will end up badly!"
"Not this again!" One of the two bound aliens shouted as he did a cartwheel in preparation for the collision.
Minos and Maximillian were practically exhausted, so neither could do much to help their group. Meanwhile, half of the crew was exhausted or injured, and only a few of the group were in any condition to do anything.
But Minos was quick with his thoughts and said. "Abandon the spaceship! Use your escape or defense devices to protect yourselves!"
Everyone there had arrays that could create defensive barriers over them. In contrast, some had items that could teleport them to locations within a certain distance of their current positions.
At the same time, most of them were clad in alien-like armor that could protect them from the fall.
The entire ship's crew abandoned the spaceship and jumped out through the cracks and alternative exits.
The less exhausted robots in the group tried to fly toward the more exhausted humans to rescue them. However, when they tried to fly alongside the less exhausted individuals in the group who were trying to do the same, they sensed something wrong.
"Uhu?" One of the robots made a strange sound as it looked down and felt its body falling faster and faster.
Meanwhile, the whole group saw their spaceship fall out from under them, speeding towards the ground.
"What the hell? Where are we?" Maximillian felt himself being pulled towards the ground, unable to float in the sky of this strange world they had arrived in.
One of the robots said. "I have no idea. But we shouldn't encounter any deadly dangers in this world. The air here is breathable, and there seems to be a strong source of absorbable energy.
However, I can't estimate the dangers." "What about our fall?" Ruth asked as she tried to approach Minos in free fall.
The level 98 robot said. "We can do nothing but use our respective defensive and evasive devices. If they don't help us, we'll all die!"
Gulp!
Minos clenched his fists, not understanding where they were and why they couldn't fly in this place.
But knowing that there were higher powers in the universe, he worried about where they were going.
'Could it be that our powers don't work here?' He swallowed his saliva in fear, feeling out of options.
Meanwhile, their altitude was decreasing, and they could see the greenish place they were arriving at closer and closer, in this world of pink skies and seemingly large forests.
At the right moment to act, Minos said to everyone. "Use your equipment now!"
