Waiting

Amidst the wails of countless lives, the colossal expeditionary force crushed everything in its path, turning the entire galaxy into a battlefield of blood and fire.

Nearly five trillion Zerg have perished. Their corpses and the ruins of war could fill thousands of planets. Their flesh and blood float in the Void, forming crimson nebulae, becoming an inexhaustible source of soldiers for the Lord of the Undead.

Nearly a million Warships of the Mechanical Civilization were destroyed. The silvery-white wreckage was scattered on both sides of the shipping lane, like metal tombs.

Those once invincible fleets are now nothing but junk in the Void. To maintain this terrifying production capacity, the Mechanical Civilization has practically squeezed every easily accessible rare metal resource in the galaxy dry.

The asteroid belt was hollowed out, mineral-rich planets were mined through, and even the ruins of abandoned civilizations were dismantled and recycled. Even the cleanest recycling process couldn't have been done this thoroughly.

Led by Tracing Light, the Relocation Civilization Group expanded to include seventeen civilizations, and during the expedition, it destroyed eight civilizations and even directly shattered the Destruction Civilization Alliance led by the Abyssal Depth Civilization.

Because two of the destroyed civilizations were sent on a long expedition to their homeland by the Tracing Light. The fleet sailed to the enemy's doorstep, bombarded them with artillery fire, and powerful warriors descended, then crushed them one by one.

But the Suguang Civilization itself is also suffering; in the past year or so, more than 20 million people have died.

Aside from military-related technologies, there has been almost no progress in other fields. Researchers have all been reassigned to work on weapons and shields, and civilian technologies have all been plagiarized from various civilizations by time Crossing.

The civilizations behind Tracing Light had their military forces largely depleted by conscription, because Tracing Light was even more ruthless towards the civilizations behind him. He conscripted soldiers, energy, resources, and factory production capacity.

Perhaps, the only true winner now is the Lord of the Undead.

He signed a Contract between Tracing Light and Ming Dynasty.

The Elf Race provided him with space to garrison troops and some logistical support. Tracing Light allowed him to use the corpses of the Zerg after the war; those trillions of Zerg corpses, which were originally just garbage in the Void, have now become his arsenal.

The Lord of the Undead must pay the Undead of an equal number of Zerg.

That is, the Undead Sea.

At least in terms of low-end combat capabilities, this greatly reduces the resource consumption of the Tracing Light. The Zerg corpses are turned into treasure, Undead army is constantly being replenished, allowing the Tracing Light to focus more on high-end battlefields and core technology breakthroughs.

It is precisely within these cold, hard numbers of attrition and the passing of lives that we find ourselves amidst these chilling statistics of loss.

That expedition, built from countless corpses, seems to be drawing to a close.

The Great Expedition has already covered 98% of its route.

Currently, there are twenty-eight civilizations remaining in the entire galaxy.

The expedition's destination lies ahead—near a Micro Black Hole. That's the core region at the other end of the galaxy, the new home chosen by the Tracing Light.

Right next to the finish line, the blood-red planet of the Demon Civilization stood Jingjing.

That is the homeland of Abyssal Depth Civilization.

The second phase of the war has ended.

Next--

Everyone is waiting.

Waiting for the expedition to end.

We await the start of the final battle.

The strongest beings in this galaxy await to engage in the final melee in the Void.

By the end of the third day of the Continued Battle, Su Luo had hardly studied in her Dreamscape anymore.

He kept sending his Subconscious out to seduce prostitutes; he seduce every kind of prostitute he could find.

He looked down upon Origin Star, learning various technologies while awaiting the final battle.

Yes, the final battle is also awaited.

In the current situation, there are approximately six purely high-combat-power units on the field.

The Demon Prince, Mu Ri, the Life Tree, the Martial God, a Loose Immortal from the Cultivation Alliance, and the Unspeakable emerging from the Mist.

Besides these, there are several other units with exceptionally high combat power.

The Zerg's Hives, after more than a year of war and evolution, have evolved into super- Hives larger than the moon. Such things cannot be sustained by Swarm. Their direct combat capabilities may not be strong, but their troop production rate is enough to make any civilization's scalp tingle.

The Lord of the Undead. Relying on endless troop production, he can be considered half a Lord. His Undead army has swelled to the point where it can directly confront the Swarm. Although the individual combat strength is not strong, the sheer number of them is a headache for anyone to bear.

Needless to say, the Mechanical Civilization is another story. Who knows what strange things they might pull out? In the past year, they have caused more damage to the Tracing Light than the Zerg, so they can be considered half as well.

The current situation is that on the side of the Tracing Light, there are three and a half units with extremely high combat power:

The three Mu Ri, the Life Tree, and the Martial God.

Lord of the Undead - Half.

The Transmigrator Project has also gathered some civilizations. Although those civilizations did not have super-high combat units, their mid-to-high-end combat forces combined constituted a force that could not be ignored.

The target is the entire galaxy.

All remaining civilizations, all surviving powers, could be enemies.

This decisive battle is fought with absolute resolve.

The goal is to end all the wars that will last for the Future few decades.

To stop war with war. To crush all possibilities with absolute strength.

This is the final battle.

Have you considered these two questions?

Su Luo stood in the Void, looking at the Origin Star that was still moving forward with a blue trail of flames, and suddenly spoke.

There was only Yun Xiaoxiao's Consciousness Entity nearby. The little thing was curled up in a small ball, floating around listlessly.

"Huh? You're asking me?"

Yun Xiaoxiao turned over and looked at Su Luo.

"What do other civilizations do with Civilization Points?"

Yun Xiaoxiao was taken aback for a moment.

"To be honest," she thought for a moment, "I've almost never seen Survivors on the battlefield. This is largely because Survivors ' consciousness is confined to the vicinity of Civilization Development Site."

"They take these Civilization Points, and besides strengthening their own civilization, they also use the power of the entire civilization to enhance themselves."

As Yun Xiaoxiao spoke, her eyes lit up.

Yun Xiaoxiao really wanted the computing power of the Suguang Civilization. As a civilization about to enter the late information age, the total computing power of the entire civilization was almost comparable to a small basic computing unit of one-tenth of the [Wall of Infinity].

It's roughly one trillionth of the computing power of the entire [Wall of Infinity]. Even for someone like her who lacks computing power, it's still very tempting.

"Not only that, remember the District Wars? Civilization Points still allow Survivors to directly engage in combat in battlefields of this scale, as long as the Survivors are strong enough."

"Uh... so you mean the monsters with the Supreme rating, right? Those are considered extremely powerful units, and they're a variable on the battlefield."

Yun Xiaoxiao didn't seem to care much.

After all, Su Luo rarely takes direct action, and her stats aren't high, so taking direct action wouldn't significantly impact high-level combat power.

"The second question is, why is the Mechanical Civilization so frantically attacking only the Tracing Light? The remaining relatively weak civilizations in the entire galaxy are so lucrative, don't they want to be left out?" Su Luo frowned slightly.

The Mechanical Civilization had been developing quietly for decades, but it insisted on jumping out to attack the Tracing Light during the Great Expedition, and it did so for more than a year.

Aside from the Zerg, nothing else has the patience to hunt Tracing Light.

This is ridiculous!

If you want technology, the technology of the Suguang Civilization is open for trading!

You're going straight for the Tracing Light? Do you intend to capture Mu Ri and study him?

That's the core of the current Suguang Civilization!

But trading things from the interstellar era isn't out of the question...

We can talk about it.

"Oh, that? I know, those guys are stubborn." Yun Xiaoxiao didn't seem to care much.

"So stubborn?"

Su Luo didn't understand civilizations that had achieved complete consciousness ascension, since she had never actually seen one.

"It's just stubborn. Yuncang tried this method before, but gave up. Ascended beings abandon emotions and physical bodies, merging into the coldness of machinery; it's a completely different form of civilization... I'm much more normal than them!"

"I don't think that such a simple profit-driven situation can be explained by 'axis' alone. They clearly had many choices... There must be something manipulating things behind the scenes."

Su Luo remained noncommittal, pondered for a moment, and continued:

"Since you know so much about this... the Survivors ' Vassals are also part of Survivor strength. When the time comes, you'll have to go into battle and deal with the Mechanical Civilization's fleet."

Yun Xiaoxiao's expression instantly turned strange.

"You... you want me to leave the game?"

"You might as well send the Four-Colored Puppets! I have no fighting ability!"

"You are a product of the interstellar age," Su Luo said calmly, "Half an era ahead, which is a complete crushing defeat. I believe in you unconditionally."

Su Luo's gaze fell on the blood-red planet visible in the distance, and she gave Yun Xiaoxiao a cheer.

"Both Tracing Light and I will provide you with computing power. Don't let me down."

Yun Xiaoxiao remained silent for a long while before speaking softly:

"The risk is huge. Don't forget my computer. I feel like you've been giving me empty promises..."

"Then you have no choice but to eat it, after all, it's just a black slave cricket."

"You stepped..."
