Chapter 66: Boarding the Dreadnought
With the Reaver command ship obliterated, a ripple of disarray spread through the enemy fleet. The once-organized formations began to fracture, and several Reaver ships drifted off course, thrown into chaos without their central command. Ethan and his crew seized the opportunity, pushing deeper into the heart of the Reaver system as explosions flared around them like supernovas in miniature.
Ethan held the tension in his chest, his focus unwavering as he watched the enemy lines falter. Every victory brought them closer to the core, yet the air in the Ark was thick with the knowledge that the worst was still ahead. As they advanced, the energy readings from the system's center grew stronger, the ominous signal pulsing in time with their ship's sensors, a heart of darkness that seemed to beckon them closer.
