The warships that had lost the control of their Sentient Life showed obvious lag and stuttering. Though the Strong Artificial Intelligence quickly took over, even that slight delay was fatal in such close-range combat.
After the earlier exchanges, the two fleets had long since turned into a close-range melee, so this strike from the Super Daya was devastatingly lethal.
After all, it was a spherical region with a radius of 25,000 light-years. Every Sentient Life within that range felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
The seven civilizations at the center of the battlefield had 9.8 billion warships, and nearly half of them were affected. Add in the Paper Civilization's remaining 400 million warships, and a total of 5.3 billion warships suffered the Soul Annihilation strike.
Tens of billions of Sentient Life died unnatural deaths. Even the Silver Heart Civilization was caught in the blast, losing over a billion people to the indiscriminate attack of the Super Daya, which left the Silver Heart Civilization Leader so furious his eyes nearly went crooked.
Only the humans and the Awakeners were mostly unaffected.
Of course, the Daya Civilization's Soul Annihilation strike was powerful, truly powerful, but at the level of a Cosmic Civilization, many civilizations had done some research into the soul. As a result, among their Sentient Life, those with relatively strong souls had not actually died. Some had merely fainted, while others had only fallen into a dazed, disoriented state.
While the effects of the Super Daya's Soul Annihilation strike still lingered, the Awakener Civilization exerted its strength again. They repeated their old trick, except this time it was in three-dimensional space.
Unfortunately, the previous ultra-large-scale attack had overloaded their energy supply system somewhat, so the Awakener Civilization's strike this time did not evolve into an ultra-large area.
