Chapter 140 - 140 Preparation II

Arc was watching those who are following him with a smile on his face, he left drones on every warp point to see what was going on after he left, he was smiling as he played with those who are following him.

He watches as those ship stop before the asteroid field he deliberately didn't hide the specter trails so that those who follow him will learn a painful lessons with their lives as he was sure they not just following him to simply watch he knows that the moment they have a chance they will attack and abduct him to learn how he produced those solutions.

So he wasn't sorry by killing them it's their fault for wanting to follow and abduct him.

Back to those who are following Arc, they finally decided to enter the asteroid field separately.

When Arc saw this his smile broadened, and with a wicked glint in his eyes he ordered those drones to make preparations.

After the group enters the asteroid field, they are very vigilant but after 15 minutes there's still no enemy attacking them making them feel a little relieved but nobody drops their guards down.

They are continuing to communicate with each other so that they can help or make preparation just in cased something happens. Until suddenly the video communication is disrupted making them hold their breath.

"Are we being jammed?" Ask one of the captains to his crew.

"We don't know it can be the effect of the asteroid field it is not a rare occurrence. As some asteroids have a strong magnetic field making them a natural jamming device." Said one of the crew.

The moment their communications are jammed all captain panicked a little but after waiting for few minutes there's still no attacked from any enemy making them sigh in relief, they are now sure the jamming is the effect of the asteroid field, in fact, they are correct. the asteroid field serves as a natural jamming devices, And Eve knows this after he scanned the sector using the Specter upgraded scanning device.

That's why she chose that place as a warp point.

As the group is getting closer to the last signal of Specter suddenly they pickup an explosion.

But with their communication jammed they don't know what happens. Then another explosion, and another. The remaining ship now knows that something is up. And the scary thing is that they have no idea what was coming.

Many of the crew of the ship are already in a state of panic. And are begging their captain to turn around and leave.

In fact, many of the captains already ordered the retreat when they pickup several explosions.

"Retreat, retreat," shouted the captain of one of the sh.i.p.s.

Incoming asteroid at three o'clock, another one is coming below us. "Avoid them! Turn 30 degrees in point xxx maximum power. Said the captain.

"Incoming asteroids in" the crew stop talking he just close his eyes everyone in the ship are crying and panicking the captain saw in the radar over 100 asteroids coming at them in all direction no way to avoid it he knew there's no way out, he to just close his eyes, as he saw an asteroid 10 times bigger than their ship coming straight at them and there's no way to avoid it...

"Sir we picked up another explosion"

"How many is that right now?" The captain asked.

"Thats the12th sir it could just be asteroid slamming at each other or missiles fired to eliminate the asteroid blocking the path. Said another crew who was sweating a lot."

The captain knew he was just giving them a positive view of things.

"Where retreating! plan an escape route out of here" said the captain calmly.

Yes, sir.

"Another explosion, that's 13th." Said another crew.

30 minutes later they were out of the asteroid field, they didn't encounter any danger at all. But by the time they got out the number of explosions they picked up is on a hundred,

Of course, many of them are caused by the asteroids colliding at each other when Arc ordered the drones to push the asteroids to hit the incoming sh.i.p.s that are following them.

But deliberately left 2 sh.i.p.s, unfortunately, one of the sh.i.p.s he was supposed to leave alone as a witness was caught in an accident when some asteroids was pushed hard when the ship exploded and accidentally hit the fleeing ship destroying it. Fortunately 1 of the 2 sh.i.p.s he intended to leave alone manage to retreat without any problems.

The ship that survived waited for 3 hours outside the asteroid field just in case more sh.i.p.s survived and needed help. But after waiting for 3 hours of waiting, no other ship except for them survived, making them extremely thankful for their luck. But the captain didn't see it that way he has a feeling they were deliberately left alone as a witness and a warning for those who will follow the specter in the future.

Arc ship the specter was now docked in one of the asteroids in another asteroid field its hundreds of light-years away from the asteroid field he used to deal with the one following him.

Its an asteroid the size of a continent. They are inside it by entering one of the huge tunnels in the asteroid according to Eve this is the ideal place for them to upgrade the specter as the asteroid itself was rich in high grade minerals that they can extract if necessary plus the asteroids is a natural jamming device making the place impossible to scan by this galaxy current technology.

Eve and Arc didn't waste time Arc immediately summon all the materials he has brought and 3 mother drones core 2 of them will integrate into the ship the other would be responsible for their protection.

The mother drones responsible for their protection immediately started operating and chooses an Asteroid 10 times bigger than the one Specter currently hiding and relatively close distance to the asteroid where Arc is located.

In just several minutes 100 drones are created by the mother drones and those 100 have only a single job, to mine resources.

Arc didn't bring anyone with him not even Jarvis as he plans to continuously train while waiting for the specter to be upgraded.

And just like that 3 days have passed.

Most of the specter was already been broken down by over 200 builder droids while another 200 are creating the parts that will be used to upgrade the specter, as for the two mother drones they already started merging into the ship Core to turned the specter into one giant mother drones ship. Where each scales and panel of the outer layer of specter will be converted into fighter drones. And deep layer would be converted into harvester drones luckily the Specter layout was perfect for converting into a mobile drone hive.

The builder droids are using space compression to house a billion Drones into a ship only a half a kilometer in size in fact after it was completed the specter would be capable of holding 10 billion drones without any problems. But as an exchange, there will be no more room for Unmanned Mecha and unmanned ship inside the ship.

But Arc was ok with it. Each drone is only the size of a small car but its quite powerful of course individually it is not as powerful as unmanned Mecha and Ship. But with its number even if GFA uses several squadrons it won't be enough to put a dent or destroy the specter who was armed with over 10 billion drones even if only about 4 billion of them are combat drones the rest are harvester and builder drones each drone cl.u.s.ter have many kinds of drones. That's why out of 10 billion drones 6 billions of them are support drones.

And unless they destroyed 99% of the drones no one is capable of approaching the specter once it entered combat mode.
