The end of the game was accompanied by a warm and relaxed atmosphere. Alixia once again emerged victorious, showcasing her skills and tactics in the game, allowing her to stand at the pinnacle of this virtual battle once again. Her expression was calm, but the pride in her victory could be seen from the light shining deep in her eyes.
Karenmu and Taktron appeared somewhat disheartened, finding it difficult to accept the outcome. Taktron had a somewhat gloomy expression as he protested, "You must have used some kind of cheat! How could you win every time?" The slight curl of his lips indicated that he wasn't truly angry, just teasing Alixia.
Karenmu nodded in agreement on the side, with a hint of playfulness in his expression: "Yes, yes, it must be cheating. How could we possibly lose to you?" His voice was full of jest.
Alixia, on the other hand, remained indifferent, elegantly responding, "A boring game for the lowly races... for the Eldar, losing is impossible." Her tone carried a hint of Eldar arrogance, a demeanor that made Karenmu and Taktron both unable to help but laugh.
But the topic suddenly changed, and Alixia's gaze turned to the door. She gently reminded, "What you should be concerned about first is John who has been hiding and peeking outside the door."
Karenmu and Taktron immediately turned their heads, their expressions changing from playful to surprised and excited. Jack, standing at the door, was quietly observing them. There was a hint of concern in Jack's eyes, and a slight smile on his face, but his presence clearly brought immense surprise to the two.
"Jack! You're awake!" Karen's voice carried excitement and concern. Her figure quickly moved towards Jack, seemingly wanting to check on his condition.
Taktron couldn't help but show a slight smile, his expression revealing a sense of relief: "Great, you finally woke up. We were all very worried about you."
Jack just smiled faintly, his gaze shifting between the three people, feeling the care and warmth from his companions. This simple interaction and concern made the atmosphere on the Wind God-class bridge even warmer and harmonious.
Jack walked slowly towards them, his steps gentle yet firm, his face showing a hint of paleness, indicating the difficulties he had just experienced. He found an empty seat and sat down gently, seemingly trying to adapt to the environment.
Alixia looked at him, with a hint of concern and humor in her eyes: "Thought you'd never wake up in this lifetime?" Her voice carried a light teasing tone, but her eyes revealed genuine care.
Upon hearing this, Jack smiled gently, and through that smile, one could see the resilience and optimism he was barely holding onto. "Dying in bed? A mercenary can't go out like that! It's too embarrassing." His words carried a touch of self-deprecation and humor, while also showing his indomitable spirit.
This brief conversation lightened the atmosphere around them. Karenmu and Taktron both showed relaxed smiles, evidently relieved that Jack could face difficulties with such an attitude.
Jack's face gradually lost its previous smile and instead showed a serious expression. His gaze was intense, as if searching for an answer. "I... have been lying in bed for a few days, haven't I?" His voice carried a hint of uncertainty and exploration.
Taktron closed the game on the smart screen on the table and answered, "It's been almost two days." His tone carried a hint of concern, but he tried to maintain a calm demeanor.
Jack nodded, seemingly digesting this information. At that moment, Alixia turned around and looked at him seriously, her eyes filled with worry and questioning, "You... were eroded by chaos in the subspace... are you okay now?" Her voice was full of concern, as well as a hint of urgent care.
Jack looked at Alixia and felt her sincere concern. He was silent for a moment, then said softly, "I feel okay. That kind of feeling... is indescribable, like being deeply consumed by an invisible force." His eyes revealed a hint of complex emotions, as if recalling a painful experience.
The atmosphere around them became heavy, and everyone could sense the profound pain that Jack had experienced. But on this spaceship, their mutual support and understanding became a powerful force against external threats.
Alixia's voice is low and heavy, as if carrying an invisible weight. She looks at John with a deep concern in her eyes, a concern that seems to stem not only from her own experiences but also from her care for her teammates. She slowly says, "When we entered the subspace... we were all affected by the chaos, except for Taktron."
Her gaze lingers on each team member, seemingly searching for a resonance, for a look that understands the deeper meaning behind her words. Her words seem to remind everyone that the erosion of chaos is not a distant threat, but an immediate and real danger. She continues, "We need to be careful, pay more attention..." Her voice is slightly hoarse, as if pondering the right words to express her warning. After a moment of silence, she adds, "Chaos... always erodes everyone unintentionally, no matter how strong your will is. It's like a disease, quietly spreading until it completely controls your consciousness and soul."
John quietly listened to Alixia's words, a hint of contemplation and self-reflection flashing in his eyes. He knew that every word spoken by Alixia was based on her personal experience and profound understanding. Her words were not just a reminder to him, but also a warning to the entire team. In this treacherous universe, their group of mercenaries always hovered on the edge of danger, and this experience once again reminded them of how close and real the threat of chaos was. They had to stay vigilant at all times, not allowing themselves to be inadvertently eroded by chaos.
"We must be firmer, more alert," John responded in a low voice. He knew that each of them had to face this challenge and resist the erosion of chaos together. This was not just an external battle, but also an internal struggle. Every time they entered subspace, every time they faced the temptation of chaos, they were engaged in a difficult battle with their own hearts.
