Clearly, the Gaia Life intended to kill the people inside the Electron Warship's cockpit directly through a mental attack.
After roaming the Milky Way Galaxy for so long, many Level Six Civilizations had learned that the most likely way to defeat an Electron Warship was to destroy its Macro-Electron. Its Macro-Electron had been built by the Harvesters using their own Characteristic Technology, while that Micro-Electron was a Level Seven Civilization Artifact.
The Gaia Life knew its own limits. It did not believe it could destroy a Level Seven Civilization Artifact, so its target had always been the Macro-Electron.
It simply had not expected its supposedly viable and pride-worthy attack to be blocked so easily.
The enormous Macro-Electron in the starry sky flickered between bright and dim. When it became hazy once more, it meant that it had withstood the Gaia Life's mental attack head-on.
The Gaia Life was already within four light-years of the Electron Warship. Thus, once the Electron Warship had defended against the mental attack, its counterattack arrived instantly.
From a macroscopic perspective, the Electron Warship's attack could not be seen at all. One could only see the haziness on the Electron Warship's surface fade slightly, and then the Gaia Life two light-years away reacted.
The Gaia Life's body twisted. Its rippling, watery sphere-like form immediately distorted, as though someone had pulled it apart from both ends and stretched it into a length of dough. Then, its middle rapidly contracted toward one end, completing a swift spatial movement.
Using the peculiar traits of its body, like an elastic water balloon, the Gaia Life evaded one of the Electron Warship's Micro-Electron attacks.
But the Micro-Electron's movement was not movement at all. It was a probability-based appearance within an area-wide Electron Cloud state. In theory, within four light-years, the Micro-Electron
