This was the first ti Xiao Yu had used the space shattering weapon in actual combat, and it completely proved the formidable power of the space shattering weapon. With the cooperation of ten Planet-Class warships, Xiao Yu had essentially destroyed a Level 6 civilization’s flagship warship with zero damage. In the past, this would have been simply unimaginable.
“Even their flagship is gone. These secondary ships probably have no combat strength left…” Xiao Yu quietly let out a breath of relief.
After these ten Planet-Class warships returned to their own combat groups, the situation on the battlefield beca one-sided. Under Xiao Yu’s fierce assault, the fleet of this preliminary Level 6 civilization began to show signs of routing.
They had already lost command from the highest level. Without top-level command, coordination within the warship clusters could not reach a unified degree. Although their numbers were large, they were nothing but a loose pile of sand. They had already lost combat power comnsurate with their numbers.
Finally, after the battle continued for a few more minutes, these ships began organized flight by warship cluster. Xiao Yu knew this was because mid-level commanders of this preliminary Level 6 civilization still existed. Having lost top-level command, these combat groups centered on Continent-Class warships could no longer cooperate so tacitly, but internal coordination within each combat group could still be done well. In this kind of organized, orderly withdrawal, the enemy warships were slowly pulling out of the battlefield.
Facing the enemy’s retreat, Xiao Yu did not launch a large-scale pursuit, only striking symbolically. Sensing Xiao Yu’s restraint, these ships withdrew even faster. In less than an hour, they had completed their withdrawal from the battlefield and escaped using curvature flight. No one knew where they went.
This war ended with this preliminary Level 6 civilization losing its only Planet-Class warship and nearly thirty million ships of other various models, while Xiao Yu lost a little over ten million Nation-Class and sub-Nation-Class ships.
After thoroughly driving off the enemy, Xiao Yu finally relaxed. He sent tens of thousands of captured warships into the small universe for analysis to obtain this civilization’s intelligence and technology, and after tidying up the battlefield a bit, Xiao Yu once again sent out a spatial broadcast.
“Pegasus Civilization, we are the Divine Ark Civilization. The enemy has been driven back. You can co out of the small universe.” Xiao Yu said. After this ssage was sent, a short ti later, Xiao Yu saw a very low-grade, very crude probe appear out of thin air in space. This clearly ant the Pegasus Civilization inside the small universe had opened the passage connecting the small and main universes and released its probe to observe the situation outside.
This probe was manufactured using extrely advanced Level 5 civilization technology, but in Xiao Yu’s eyes at this mont it was a crude contraption not worth ntioning. It was so crude that Xiao Yu had no interest in giving it a second glance.
Upon seeing that the outer cosmic space was filled everywhere with dense fragnts of warships, and confirming that those keeping watch outside were indeed the Divine Ark Civilization rather than that hostile civilization, the leader of the Pegasus Civilization finally let his tightly strung heart relax.
Under the leader’s command, all ships left this empty small universe and entered the main universe, from which they had been separated for not long, yet it felt like countless ages.
Looking at the ragged ships before him, as if still shivering in the dark universe, Xiao Yu actually felt a trace of emotion.
“During this period, you must have encountered unimaginable difficulties. Do not worry. Now you are safe. No one can threaten you. You may freely develop technology, obtain resources, and propagate your population. If you need help, within the scope of my ability, I do not mind giving you a bit of assistance.” Xiao Yu said.
“Thank you, Divine Ark Civilization.” The leader replied, “Thank you for once again saving our civilization. To be reborn is already the best outco for us. We dare not hope to obtain further help from you, nor do we need other help from you, because we are confident we can rely on our own strength to develop again. Please rember that the promise of our Pegasus Civilization is always valid. If you truly encounter trouble, our Pegasus Civilization will repay you even at the cost of sacrificing most of our people. Though our strength is humble, in spirit we do not consider ourselves inferior to anyone. We do not wish to live only by your charity.”
Faced with such an answer, Xiao Yu felt both amused and helpless.
‘To have co to this point and still be so hard-mouthed… I do not know whether such a spirit is good or bad for a civilization. But since you say so, I have no reason to force help on you.’ Xiao Yu thought to himself, then replied, “Very well. I look forward to the day when you truly stand as equals beside .”
“This is the password for the passage in and out of this small universe. From this mont on, it belongs to you.” the Pegasus leader said. “Now, please allow us to leave. After obtaining supplies in other star systems, we will escape from here and seek a safe and hidden place to develop our technology. Once again, thank you, Divine Ark Civilization.”
“Mm, I am not very interested in this small universe. Once we have explored it, clarified its operating chanism, and obtained this technological information, this small universe will still be yours. Since you discovered it first, returning it to you in the end is not inappropriate.” Xiao Yu replied. “To tell the truth, I greatly appreciate your civilizational spirit. I want to see how far you will go with such a spirit supporting you, whether one day you can truly stand before as equals.”
There was another reason Xiao Yu did not ntion. He had basically concluded that the reason most of the Pegasus Civilization had perished was that this remnant of the Pegasus Civilization had seen its Luck Value fall to the lowest point. This could be seen from the various hardships they had encountered along the way. Xiao Yu was very interested in running an experint to see whether a civilization whose Luck Value had fallen to the lowest point could still have a chance to rise again. For this experint, Xiao Yu did not mind paying a certain price. It was obvious that a small universe, which only a Level 6 civilization could possess, would greatly increase the survival odds of the Pegasus Civilization.
In other words, from this mont on, the Pegasus Civilization beca Xiao Yu’s experintal subject.
The leader of the Pegasus Civilization paused slightly, then replied, “Thank you, Divine Ark Civilization. We accept your goodwill. No matter how much hatred we held before, in the face of your goodwill, we choose to forget the past.”
“Then stay in this small universe for now. Our ships will transport the necessary supplies to you. You may wait here for a while.” Xiao Yu arranged their fate. As for the Pegasus leader’s ntion of ‘forgetting the past,’ he simply smiled and ignored it.
For Xiao Yu did not care about such things at all. Whether you forget or not, whether you hate or not, what does that have to do with . If you continue to hate , will it affect , will it make my warships explode on their own.
Yet although he disdained it, Xiao Yu was not so bored as to deliberately strike at the other civilization’s spirit.
Under Xiao Yu’s arrangents, the Pegasus Civilization once again entered the small universe. Xiao Yu then arranged for a Continent-Class transport ship to move hundreds of billions of tons of various supplies from his own small universe, and even dispatched several Nation-Class ships to refit them into living environnts suitable for the people of the Pegasus Civilization, providing living space for the overcrowded Pegasus populace. But Xiao Yu’s help was limited to this. He strictly forbade the scientists of the Pegasus Civilization from studying his technology and did not give them any guidance in technology.
“As for technological matters, you must rely on your own research.” This was Xiao Yu’s thinking.
With everything arranged, Xiao Yu quickly began researching the instrunt that connected the small and main universes, left behind by that unknown Level 6 civilization inside this small universe. The gap between Xiao Yu and that unknown Level 6 civilization lay in engineering technique rather than in foundational science, so although parsing this technology was troubleso, it was not beyond Xiao Yu’s ability.
A large number of research devices were moved here by Xiao Yu. He carried out comprehensive research on this massive instrunt from all aspects such as energy supply, generation chanism, activation principle, and component structure. Along with this ca a large team of intelligent being scientists wearing personal life-support equipnt, including outstanding figures like Xu Junpo, Luka Three, and Number Five. During this period they practically examined the entire instrunt.
At every mont, vast quantities of data flowed into Xiao Yu’s mind, where he analyzed them with the aid of his trendous computing power. This massive research operation lasted for more than a year. Only when no more useful data could be obtained did Xiao Yu stop the work.
With sufficient data support, Xiao Yu quickly began the next step. After a full three days, Xiao Yu sent the following ssage to all scientists. “I have understood the principle of unilaterally controlling the link passage.”
