War Starts Among the Stars

For some unknown reason, these star-studded warships did not come with any other Escort Ship or auxiliary vessels, but appeared alone in this starry sky.

The warship did not continue to approach the star, but remained alone a dozen light-years away, seemingly waiting for something.

"The stronger their fighting force, the greater our chances of winning, which is a good thing."

Another message appeared inside the warship, which was shimmering with starlight, seemingly indicating a communication.

"That's not necessarily true. Those warships are just the Harvesters's regular combat force."

When do we make our move?

"No rush. Let's first see what kind of civilization that comes from the What-Is Star System is. If that Rectangular Warship is no match for the Harvesters squad, then we can take action. Rescuing them at the right time can become an opportunity for our cooperation."

"The Harvesters must already know that we are behind this. If they tell the Rectangular Warship, it could be detrimental to us."

"No, given the Harvesters' style, even if they knew, they wouldn't tell. And even if they did tell, what could they do? That civilization from Extragalactic Civilization had no choice. Could they really raise the white flag, surrender, and hand over their entire civilization's Characteristic Technology to the Harvesters?"

"That's true, but they still won't become one of us."

"That's after we eliminate the Harvesters. As long as the Harvesters are still around, everything else is just talk. Only by eliminating the Harvesters first can our plan become a reality."

"Then now."

"It's about to begin."

Communication within the warship ceased.

It was at this moment that, for some unknown reason, the star on the other side of the starry sky suddenly began to boil, with towering flames surging and rolling, the scalding fusion flames like giant waves rising from the sea, sweeping towards the starry sky.

The once quietly rotating star lost its original shape. Infinite flames first shot out from its poles and then covered the center of the sphere. At this moment, the entire planet seemed like dough, changing from a circle to a distinct ellipse.

Its photosphere material is squeezed outwards and rushes into the chromosphere. Under this pull, the inner core also mixes with the outer layers, causing the star's apparent temperature to suddenly increase by hundreds of thousands of degrees Celsius.

Its brightness also increased continuously, turning from yellowish-white to azure blue in an instant. At this moment, the star's internal stability was finally broken, and the fuel inside, enough for it to burn for billions of years, seemed to be released, and even more surging energy swept out.

This star, which was not supposed to end its life at this time, seemed to have reached the end of its life. It became brighter and brighter, and the entire region where the star was located was covered with an endless ocean of photons. The violent energy was finally released at this moment, spreading in all directions of the universe and instantly engulfing the Rectangular Warship that was still stationary and the 170 Black Warship.

Following the endless field of light, a violent Mass Ejection is inevitable.

However, through that instant of endless light, one could see that the Rectangular Warship and the 170 other warships stood there proudly, just like upright figures in a storm.

The raging Stellar Energy that was about to burst forth seemed to have no effect on either of them. The star was about to end its life in its most brilliant burst, but before the critical point of its explosion truly arrived, both the Rectangular Warship and the 170 warships that moved in unison remained embedded in that turbulent space.

The intense light was even more violent than the sun's eruption back then. The blue light was like a balloon inflating higher and higher in the dark starry sky. Finally, because the constantly collapsing matter completely lost its balance, the star finally exploded.

The surging energy spreads in all directions at the speed of light and as photons, illuminating the entire starry sky and heating the entire cosmos. Those original stars will be reduced to ashes under such a powerful explosion, just like the Solar System and the Centaurus Three-Star System back then.

The violent energy blocked most of the detection, and also interfered with the Rectangular Warship and the 170-strong Black Warship Squadron at the center of the explosion. The spacetime tremors caused by the stellar Big Bang made Warp almost impossible.

However, at the very moment the explosion spread, the Rectangular Warship accelerated from relative stillness in an instant, leaving a trail of afterimages in the endless ocean of light.

The 170 Black Warship finally ceased to move in unison. As the Rectangular Warship moved, they moved in sync. One by one, the warships that had maintained their formation seemed to have lost their firm connection, scattering in an instant like 170 black streaks of light, disappearing into the ocean of light.

They actually used a stellar explosion as an opportunity to start the battle; they actually fought amidst the light of a stellar explosion!

That was a stellar explosion! It was a force powerful enough to destroy all of Human Civilization, a light that illuminated the entire Milky Way Starry Sky.

Humans call it a catastrophe. It was in the midst of such a catastrophe that humanity stumbled into the stars, wandering to distant lands, and thus became a Wandering Civilization.

Here, such a stellar Big Bang merely serves as a trigger for action between two entities. It's like two masters waiting for a falling leaf to make a slight noise before engaging in combat.

The resemblance was striking.

The only difference is that one is in a movie or TV series, and the other is in the starry sky, and the object has become a warship.

Humanity has never witnessed a battle Level Six Civilization, nor does it wish to. Given the current situation, even if we waited in this star system, we wouldn't see it. Clearly, to witness the battle, we must first withstand the ocean of energy from a stellar eruption.

Either way, there needs to be a detection capability beyond ray tracing. No, even a detection capability Beyond the Light Cone becomes imperceptible in the spacetime turbulence caused by this raging ocean of energy.

Therefore, from the perspective of the warship, which was surrounded by starlight and was more than ten light-years away, it was difficult to clearly see what exactly was happening in the ocean of photons that was spreading at the speed of light.

They only detected that amidst the chaotic spacetime turbulence, spatial gaps appeared intermittently, but these quickly transformed into violent spacetime fluctuations within the environment. In truth, they didn't detect spatial gaps, but rather gaps without any feedback. Since they also lacked the means to attack in that manner, they knew they were spatial gaps.

In the endless field of light, afterimages of warships streaked across the sky, accompanied by the appearance and disappearance of Black Lines. This scene was like cracks being drawn across a vast white sky.

After those black cracks appeared, the flow of photons slowed down, and the photon stream was forcibly cut off. Fortunately, the black cracks healed automatically shortly after they appeared, and the photon stream and the subsequent Mass Ejection were able to once again proclaim their fury to the universe.
