That was indeed the case.
After discovering the Electron Warship's unprecedented attack method, the Divine Matrix Civilization's Neutron War Star devised a corresponding countermeasure.
No one knew what those Macro-Photons were. Even with thick Neutron Degeneracy matter serving as natural armor, the Neutron War Star did not dare touch them lightly.
The Electron Warship had a formidable reputation. Now that it had been forced to reveal a new attack method, caution was only natural. It would avoid contact whenever possible. Even if there was no other choice, the Divine Matrix Civilization was not truly worried. They had great confidence in their Neutron War Star; otherwise, they would not have dared challenge the Harvesters so openly.
The macroscopic photons transformed into particle states. Spheres of light as massive as stars linked together, surrounding the Neutron War Star, then closed in at light speed, continuously compressing the space in which it could move.
Those photons were strange. They were photons themselves, and photons were Bosons. A Boson's defining feature was that many Bosons could occupy the same quantum state. They did not obey the Pauli Exclusion Principle, so from the human concept of "seeing," they were actually invisible in the starry sky.
Since they were photons themselves, all light passed through them without reflection or refraction. Only unusual Tachyons could detect their existence.
Thus, if the battle between the Neutron War Star and the Electron Warship were viewed solely from an optical perspective, then from beginning to end, the two had merely kept changing positions and movement patterns, like two stars taking a stroll. That was all.
In reality, however, they had already exchanged blows many times.
And these macroscopic photons unleashed by the Electron Warship were one such attack method, mainly intended to force out the Neutron War Star's capabilities.
