The new attack thod of Spatial Starburst undoubtedly possessed unparalleled, overwhelming offensive power. Xiao Yu did not believe that those ships of his that could not escape would survive such a ferocious strike. In fact, before the range of the Spatial Starburst even reached Xiao Yu’s ships, it had already made contact with the four single-entity civilizations that were charging in front.
But those four single-entity civilizations seed to have been ntally prepared for this Spatial Starburst attack in advance. Even the ships of the Guardian Civilization and Technology Taihao’s son spaceship had previously witnessed this Spatial Starburst attack. They had all prepared beforehand. Only Xiao Yu’s fleet had no defenses in place.
Seeing this, a trace of bitterness rose in Xiao Yu’s heart. Every existence present had lived at least more than ten million years. Over such a long lifespan, they would inevitably accumulate much experience and knowledge. Xiao Yu, though he had advanced to the level of a Level 6 Civilization in just over thirty thousand years, still suffered from insufficient accumulation. This hard shortcoming now showed itself vividly. It was as if every other existence knew about the Spatial Starburst, while only Xiao Yu did not and had never heard of it, so he naturally failed to make sufficient preparations in advance.
Xiao Yu saw that although the four single-entity civilizations had prepared beforehand for the Spatial Starburst, they still suffered serious damage. The intensity of this damage could not be assessed for the mont. He only saw the crocodilian Alien Beast, the python Alien Beast, and Alien Beast Taihao spattering countless pieces of flesh from their bodies. Once separated from them, those fragnts of flesh were imdiately reduced to nothing under the attack of the Spatial Starburst. Xiao Yu estimated that the mass of flesh lost by the three Alien Beast Civilizations in this one strike was at least one hundred billion tons.
The situation for Specter Taihao was less clear. Xiao Yu only saw that the spatial fluctuations representing Specter Taihao’s existence dropped in intensity by at least twenty percent after the Spatial Starburst strike.
Although the four single-entity civilizations suffered severe injuries under the Spatial Starburst, they nevertheless endured the blow. Behind them, Technology Taihao’s son spaceship suddenly released an extrely intense radiance. That intense radiance seed to turn the entire son into sothing like a sacred heaven. Only after the wave of Spatial Starburst energy passed did the son dim, and it continued dimming until it was even darker than before it had been attacked.
Clearly, the son also suffered a certain degree of damage at that mont.
In stark contrast to the son was the Guardian Civilization’s Radiance. In the instant before the raging energy of the Spatial Starburst arrived, the Radiance actually vanished into thin air. It did not enter curvature space and thus disappear from the visible universe, because even entering curvature space could not evade an attack of such intensity. It vanished fully and completely. No matter what detection thod was used, Xiao Yu could not detect the Radiance’s existence. After the raging energy of the Spatial Starburst passed, Xiao Yu saw the Radiance appear again. It continued charging toward the Neutron War Star just as before. It had not deford, it had not dimd, and its movents showed no delay. It seed that under this round of Spatial Starburst strikes, it had not suffered any damage.
“What is going on?” Xiao Yu was shocked once more. He realized that his accumulation was far too shallow. He was overly unfamiliar with certain cosmic secrets and with the major formidable existences in the Milky Way. His data was far too scarce. Up to now, the Sweepers Civilization and the Guardian Civilization had each displayed a technological technique Xiao Yu had never seen or heard of. One was the Spatial Starburst, and the other was this seemingly arcane, entirely baffling evasion thod now used by the Guardian Civilization.
But there was no help for it. This was an unavoidable shortcoming that ca with developing too quickly. To develop rapidly, one had to sacrifice this kind of accumulation. This accumulation was not tangible, like technology or warships. It was a kind of soft power.
Clearly, Xiao Yu now lacked this accumulation badly. That was why he seed like a bumpkin from the countryside entering the city, finding everything novel and unfamiliar.
Xiao Yu imdiately recorded this scene and allocated part of his computational power to begin analysis.
After all the major formidable existences had evaded the Spatial Starburst, although Xiao Yu still could not make a strength assessnt of the single-entity civilizations, he could make an assessnt of Technology Taihao and the Guardian Civilization. The conclusion was that the strength of the Guardian Civilization undoubtedly surpassed that of Technology Taihao. This could be seen from how their flagships, the son and the Radiance, evaded the Spatial Starburst. Furthermore, the Radiance was only the flagship of the Guardian Civilization. In addition to the Radiance, the Guardian Civilization possessed a vast number of conventional warships, certainly not fewer than one hundred million. As for whether Technology Taihao had conventional warships, Xiao Yu still did not know. Even if Technology Taihao did possess conventional warships, its overall strength would definitely not match that of the Guardian Civilization.
“No wonder they have fought against the Sweepers Civilization for tens of millions of years and have still not been destroyed. Now I even suspect that in terms of technological developnt, the Guardian Civilization may have gone farther than the Sweepers Civilization. If the Sweepers lacked the Neutron War Star, would they still be a match for the Guardian Civilization?”
This question was destined to remain unanswered, but the strength of the Guardian Civilization was beyond doubt. Regarding the Guardian Civilization’s statent that their civilization’s strength surpassed any single Taihao Civilization, and that only because the three Taihaos had ford an alliance did their combined strength exceed that of the Guardian Civilization, Xiao Yu believed it to be true.
After Technology Taihao’s son, the Guardian Civilization’s Radiance, and the four single-entity civilizations had all evaded the Spatial Starburst, it was finally ti for Xiao Yu’s ships that could not retreat in ti and for the main fleet of the Guardian Civilization to be tested. From the performance of these fleets, Xiao Yu once again saw the gap between himself and the Guardian Civilization.
Because they had prepared in advance, the Guardians fleet had already hidden its smaller ships behind the larger ones, with Nation-Class, Continent-Class, and even Planet-Class warships standing in front to withstand the raging energy of the Spatial Starburst. These ships clearly did not possess the vanish-in-an-instant technology of the flagship the Radiance, so they could only rely on their own equipnt performance and grit their way through the attack.
The final result was that the Guardian Civilization lost roughly ten percent, a little more than three million warships. The remaining warships each suffered damage to varying degrees. Even so, the Guardians fleet had withstood the Spatial Starburst launched by the Sweepers Civilization.
By contrast, Xiao Yu’s fleet fared much more miserably. The ships that could not escape numbered a little more than two million, including three Planet-Class warships and more than one hundred Continent-Class warships. Because they had not evaded beforehand, among these more than two million ships, aside from the Planet-Class and Continent-Class ships that barely endured the attack, all the others were wiped out. Not a single one survived.
Whether four-dinsional shields or two-dinsional shields, whether space folding shields or negative matter shields, all shield layers disintegrated and exploded under the excessive energy load when facing the Spatial Starburst. The hulls then turned to ash under the trendous energy of the Spatial Starburst. This outco made Xiao Yu ache deeply.
The warships themselves were not the main issue, even if they were made from the flesh and blood of the Arboreal Race Alien Beast. Xiao Yu still had plenty of that. What pained him most was the loss of the four-dinsional shields. He still could not manufacture four-dinsional shields. They were the kind of thing where using one ant one fewer remained. The excellent defensive performance of the four-dinsional shield determined that Xiao Yu’s elite forces could not do without them for now. Before suffering the Spatial Starburst, Xiao Yu had only about thirty-five thousand four-dinsional shields left. This one Spatial Starburst cost him nearly three thousand.
What an enormous loss. In fact, Xiao Yu would rather have lost three thousand, even thirty thousand Nation-Class warships than lose those three thousand four-dinsional shields. One category was renewable, the other non-renewable. The two could not be compared.
Perhaps because the Sweepers Civilization had deliberately controlled the attack area, those geotric bodies were not affected by the Spatial Starburst. They continued rapidly approaching the Neutron War Star and ultimately made contact with it. At the sa ti, the attacks from the four single-entity civilizations arrived as well.
Just as Xiao Yu had anticipated, the python Alien Beast indeed coiled around the Neutron War Star entirely. The crocodilian Alien Beast raised its absurdly massive tail and lashed down viciously at the Neutron War Star. The curled-up Alien Beast Taihao collided with the Neutron War Star, and Specter Taihao adhered to the Neutron War Star.
In addition, the attacks of Technology Taihao and the Guardian Civilization arrived on schedule.
