Black and white lightning streaked continuously through the abyss of space, accompanied by a shower of light that cascaded down... shedding the fragments of the metallic walls all around, turning them into specks of stardust, before finally disappearing...

Trapped in an endless cosmic corridor, the two pilots within the tunnel seized every split second, locking on and opening fire, followed by accelerated dodging, counterattacking, and so on in a vicious cycle...

Neither of them could manage to completely kill the other, the black fighter's advantage being its terrifying X11 Overriding output, which could be called the ultimate in firepower coverage and was considered the strongest among humans. Whenever this happened, the white fighter would desperately increase its speed to avoid in a nearly pathetic state.

After evading came the counterattack, at the very moment of dodging and tumbling, the white fighter would also unleash a barrage of fire at the black fighter, although not as rhythmic as its opponent, it focused on being stable and comprehensive, ready for both attack and defense. The black fighter found it nearly impossible to maneuver widely in the narrow tunnel, and during these times, it found itself in an even more perilous situation than its adversary.

Of course, the so-called "narrow space" was only relative to the vastness of cosmic voids, this endless oval tunnel was tens of thousands of kilometers wide. However, to the two combatants, it still seemed too constricting for their maneuvers.

Sweat had long drenched Feng Yi's entire body, as well as Kexiao's wide-open eyes. But neither dared to pause for even a split second, and as time went on, the battle seemed to have reached a point of no return.

Suddenly, a source of light appeared tens of thousands of kilometers ahead on both pilots' imaging devices. The colorfully chaotic void space appeared so abruptly that Feng Yi and Kexiao involuntarily lost their focus. Despite the fact that losing concentration during battle was fatal, keeping an overall awareness of the environment was fundamental for a pilot, so they had to do it.

At this critical juncture, they only glanced briefly, without the luxury to divert further attention. As the scanning devices captured more data, minutes later they found themselves ever closer to that area of space, with the light growing larger in their view, eventually brightening the entire space. That's when they realized it was a spatial wormhole...

How could a spatial wormhole appear in this asteroid belt? Both pilots were shocked, but with no way to retreat and their standoff continuing, they could only press on with even faster pacing and acceleration.

Their current situation was extremely dangerous, as falling into the wormhole would leave their fates uncertain. You wouldn't know what kind of cosmic space followed the wormhole; falling in could mean you cease to exist in this world or could be thrown far beyond this galaxy group into another cosmic abyss, with indeed very little chance of survival and no way back.

But as they were deadlocked, they were left with only two choices—the first was to slow down now, to turn and spiral out, only to be blasted to bits by the opponent. The other was to fall into the abyss of the wormhole with no hope of return. In this bizarre corridor with no end, their only option was to keep accelerating...

Outside the asteroid belt, the war had already come to an end. Due to various factors such as sustained endurance, physical exhaustion, and mental state, the inconclusive fight lasted only 3 hours.

Yet, one day passed in excruciating waiting, and then the second day, the third day, the fourth day! The fifth day...?

Neither army had heard from their commanders, Feng Yi and Kexiao had disappeared from the world as if gone in mutual destruction. Even if it had been mutual destruction, their forces would have at least received the last signals transmitted by the fighters...

Regrettably, they left nothing behind. Since the Flaming Fleet was located in a remote area and couldn't establish direct communication with the native star domain, the news was released by the Saudi media. The news reported that the highest commander of the Saudi war zone, Kexiao, had gone missing after the conflict and that the situation was under further investigation. In addition, the news program also announced the simultaneous disappearance of Flaming Legion Commander Feng Yi, with the fate of both unknown and no mentioning whether they died in combat.

The news, which lasted under a minute, immediately caused a huge uproar both domestically and internationally. As a renowned young general of Saudi, Kexiao was the highest commander on the southern front, and beneath his mysterious aura, he could likely be a top contender among the fabled Ten in White—only he preferred not to reveal his full strength. Moreover, Kexiao was exceedingly talented and more than capable of handling two Normandy fleets at once with ease.

It is known that Amelia was hailed as a genius among geniuses in the Federation, yet she absolutely could not gain the slightest advantage against Kexiao in a duel. Who would have thought such a promising young talent would vanish mysteriously after a battle with the Federation's special envoy? Saudi couldn't accept this blow and couldn't afford the cost of Kexiao's death; they couldn't believe it was true.

Of course, the Federation also couldn't accept the reality of Feng Yi's disappearance. As commander of the Flaming Legion and a hero in his own right, Feng Yi's role was far more than just an outstanding leader of the Northern War Zone. Not only did he carry the title of Special Envoy, but he was also considered the most likely candidate for Revenge Shadow Rider. In a broad sense, the value of both men far exceeded the scope of the battle itself.

The Federation unanimously believed that this must be Saudi's deception, declaring that since they couldn't find their own man, they claimed General Feng to be missing as well, which was obviously fabricated misinformation.
