Tens of millions of ships and a vast number of star system defense installations launched their attacks simultaneously. Such an offensive was undoubtedly ferocious. Even if the target within range were a planet or a star, it would be blasted apart in an instant. A peak Level 5 Civilization already possesses the ability to affect celestial bodies.
Yet these fierce attacks could not inflict any significant impact on Xiao Yu. One could say that if it were another Level 6 Civilization, even one slightly more advanced than Xiao Yu in conventional technology, they would still not be so relaxed in such a situation. After all, negative matter attacks cannot be defended against. One kilogram of negative matter is fated to annihilate one kilogram of positive matter. This is the sa for both Level 5 and Level 6 Civilizations.
But Xiao Yu was different, because he possessed the unique four-dinsional and two-dinsional shields in the entire Milky Way Galaxy. These two shield systems transcend the conventional space folding shield. They have far superior defensive performance against lower-level civilizations’ attacks. Thus Xiao Yu could directly ignore the Great Emperor Civilization’s offensive and still maintain an air of strolling at leisure.
At this mont, the situation on the battlefield was extrely bizarre. The attacks of tens of millions of warships were enough to turn heaven and earth pale and truly make this region of space a killing ground. Yet amid this frenzied storm, Xiao Yu’s Continent-Class spaceship formation seed entirely unaffected.
As the distance closed, the attacks on Xiao Yu grew ever more intense. But Xiao Yu still maintained a constant speed, without counterattacking, without accelerating, without retreating. Xiao Yu knew that the more nonchalant he appeared, the greater the psychological pressure on the Great Emperor Civilization.
Just as Xiao Yu imagined, at this mont on the Great Emperor Civilization’s capital planet, mbers of the Supre Council and the Academy of Sciences were standing by before three-dinsional holographic projection equipnt, staring fixedly at that small fleet of only five hundred thousand ships, watching as no matter how fierce their own attack was, it was entirely ignored by those five hundred thousand ships.
“This is not the God of Space, but it is certain their strength is formidable, not much inferior to the God of Space. Most likely, they are a Level 6 Civilization. Is a Level 6 Civilization really so powerful that it can directly ignore our attacks?” a scientist said, his tone full of despair.
“What is the status of the Star of Hope now? How much charge has been reached, and what movent speed can be achieved?”
“As of now, more than four hundred billion intelligent beings have been killed. The Star of Hope’s energy reserve has reached one hundred percent. It now possesses cruising capability at one hundred thirty tis the speed of light. Its conventional travel speed can reach one hundred fifty thousand kiloters per second. But there is one point to note. If we operate it in this state to fight, it can only be sustained for three hours. After three hours, the energy reserve will be exhausted.” a scientist answered nervously after manipulating his personal computing terminal.
“We have already observed it. The maximum speed of this Level 6 Technological Civilization’s ships is one hundred twenty tis the speed of light, a figure lower than the Star of Hope’s full cruising speed. Only three hours? No problem, it is enough.” the Supre Council leader muttered. “This Level 6 Civilization’s fleet cannot escape under the Star of Hope’s attack. Relying on the Star of Hope’s maneuverability, three hours is sufficient to annihilate this entire fleet.”
“Follow my order, the Star of Hope is to begin preparations and be ready to attack at any ti.”
At this ti, Xiao Yu’s Continent-Class spaceship formation had approached the edge of the Great Emperor Civilization’s capital star system. The distance between them was already less than one million kiloters. At this distance, Xiao Yu’s fleet suffered the most intense offensive. The full-force attack of nearly twenty million ships and the star system’s defense system, even if only within the scope of a Level 5 Civilization, was still intense enough to make Xiao Yu feel it was sowhat difficult to bear. So Xiao Yu began to fight back.
The five hundred thousand ships suddenly accelerated and charged swiftly into the Great Emperor Civilization’s star system. Then the slaughter began. That is right, slaughter. Xiao Yu’s five hundred thousand ships were like five hundred thousand ferocious ancient beasts, while the Great Emperor Civilization’s twenty million ships were like twenty million of the frailest chicks. The taphors of chopping lons and slicing vegetables, or a tiger entering a flock of sheep, were not enough to describe the present situation.
Xiao Yu’s five hundred thousand ships had all dispersed to fight independently. Xiao Yu did not care whether his fleet would be divided by the Great Emperor Civilization and defeated pieceal, for clearly the Great Emperor Civilization did not have that ability. The advantage in strength allowed Xiao Yu to act almost without scruple, doing as he pleased. Xiao Yu could even pilot a single Village-Class ship, enter curvature flight within the star system, pop up above the Great Emperor Civilization’s capital planet, casually fire a few spatial rifts at its planetary shield, and then, before the encirclent arrived, escape again by entering curvature flight. The ability to conduct curvature flight within a star system alone granted Xiao Yu an absolutely overwhelming advantage. In the face of this Level 6 Civilization characteristic, the Great Emperor Civilization’s defensive line was, to Xiao Yu, essentially nonexistent.
Countless spatial rifts shuttled back and forth through this region of the universe. Any existence that blocked a spatial rift, regardless of ship type, whether Nation-Class or Continent-Class, or no matter how powerful a large interstellar fortress’s defenses were, had no power to fight back when facing a spatial rift attack. Spatial rifts were like the sharpest blades, and the Great Emperor Civilization’s ships were like soft noodles, cut through by Xiao Yu in an instant.
Shells roared, flashes flared. Ships exploded and broke apart one after another. Ships or large-scale interstellar defense facilities were sliced into two pieces again and again. The battle was almost one-sided. These five hundred thousand ships shuttled freely back and forth in the Great Emperor Civilization’s most tightly defended capital star system, moving as if no one else were there.
In just one hour, at least three million ships were destroyed by Xiao Yu. The price Xiao Yu paid was rely a dozen or so Village-Class ships.
To Xiao Yu now, the Great Emperor Civilization’s ships were simply too weak. Not only could they not conduct curvature flight within the star system, even their conventional travel speed was so slow that Xiao Yu could observe them as if they were snails. Xiao Yu’s ships moved freely within the star system, often present before one ship in this mont, then vanishing abruptly the next, entering curvature space at over one hundred tis the speed of light, rapidly darting to the front of another ship to launch an attack. Faced with such formidable maneuverability, the Great Emperor Civilization had no way to cope. They could only maneuver with conventional travel, to no effect. They were completely led by the nose by Xiao Yu and had no solution to their current predicant.
“This slaughter that has absolutely no technical content is truly aningless. At the current rate, I will probably annihilate the entire military strength of the Great Emperor Civilization in just a few hours.” Xiao Yu murmured. “I have already seen the corpse of the Micron Civilization. Micron, you also possessed a Specter companion, so you could be considered my predecessor. On the path of resisting the Sweepers Civilization, you fell, but I will continue along the road you walked and carry on our expedition. Then hand your corpse to . I will let it exert its greatest use.”
Xiao Yu could already feel the Specter Heart stored in the small universe pulsing ever more violently. It seed there was a wondrous force ahead calling to it. If Xiao Yu had not imposed so restraints, the Specter Heart would probably have flown out directly to rge with the Micron Civilization’s corpse.
“I can feel that the Specter Heart will beco my bridge to control the Micron Civilization’s corpse. I sense that when I possess the Micron Civilization’s corpse, I will be able to control it freely. Yes, that must be it. This is the only practical thod to destroy the Neutron War Star. I will pilot the Micron Civilization’s corpse to ram the Neutron War Star. This is the only way.” the Specter companion murmured.
“This is the only feasible thod the Taihao Alliance ca up with after a long struggle against the Neutron War Star. In every respect, it is workable. Wait for to finish destroying the Great Emperor Civilization’s ships. Without these annoying bugs, we can calmly study this thing.” Xiao Yu said. “Specter, you go out too. There are many intelligent beings here. Devour as you like. But note one point. You are allowed to devour only the intelligent beings of the Great Emperor Civilization and its lackey civilizations. Spare the kind-hearted civilizations.”
“Alright, I understand.” the Specter companion said, about to leave Xiao Yu’s small universe and return to the main universe.
But at that very mont, Xiao Yu sensed a faint, eerie fluctuation. This imdiately drew Xiao Yu’s attention. He said at once, “Specter, wait a mont. Stay in the small universe and do not go out. Sothing just happened outside. I need to confirm it first.”
Not only did he stop the Specter companion, he also abandoned the thought of continuing to dispatch more fleets. Xiao Yu began watching closely the sphere ahead with a diater precisely two hundred kiloters.
Under Xiao Yu’s gaze, the perfectly spherical body, glowing orange all over, began to move slowly, then faster and faster, faster and faster…
