An Outrageous Advantage
The stars still shone brightly, and the stars still burned quietly there, because the war had only just begun. The battlefield had not yet witnessed the kind of intense battles that had unfolded before, like the one between the Awakeners 'You' and the Harvesters fleet.
But sometimes, the quieter it is, the more dangerous it is.
The wreckage of warships in the dark starry sky, which can only be described as "only the head is left, only the tail is left, only half is left, or most of the ship is missing," perfectly illustrates everything.
They lie quietly in the battlefield of the visible universe, like fish that have died and surfaced.
Of course, not all warships remain in Warp mode after entering Warp. Warp is a mode of navigation Beyond the Light Cone, so whether it is a warship of the Harvesters or the Awakeners, they mostly use the speed of Warp to quickly change their navigation, enter and exit Warp mode, and other movement methods to avoid attacks.
Therefore, it can be seen that the warships and fleets of both sides will occasionally exit Warp mode and then enter Warp mode again, just like fish that are lacking oxygen surfacing to breathe.
Due to the speed of light, from the perspective of the visible universe, the movement trajectories of these warships on the Starry Sky Battlefield are very strange. Sometimes they suddenly appear in a certain place in the starry sky as if they Teleportation, and then in the next moment, they retreat into deep space at an extremely fast speed, leaving behind a series of overlapping warship afterimages in the process.
In some cases, the warship suddenly appears, and then after an unknown period of time, its multiple afterimages are seen overlapping it from the depths of space.
From the perspective of the visible universe, that's all we can see. As for the means of attack Beyond the Light Cone of both sides, we can't see anything. We don't even know how the warships launch their attacks. Only when the warships are hit and half of them suddenly disappear like a video cut does it become clear that the two sides are at war.
Clearly, both the Teleportation -like movement effect and the overlapping afterimages are intended to evade attacks Beyond the Light Cone, or to strike the opponent while moving.
Judging from the impact effect, it is clear that this attack method is not the Antimatter annihilation effect of Antimatter particles, because the matter that was hit and disappeared did not exhibit the light and heat effects of releasing huge energy.
If humans were to witness such a scene, it would undoubtedly shatter their worldview regarding the power of Level Six Civilization, as such a combat style would be completely beyond human imagination.
If the previous close-quarters combat between the Awakeners 'You' and the Harvesters warship squadron could be understood through the stellar explosions in the visible universe, the current form is truly incomprehensible.
No one expected a battle between Level Six Civilization to be like this, and it was even harder to imagine that such an effect was caused by some kind of technology, because it was just too fantastical—no, even more fantastical than fantasy itself, because such combat and attack effects were not even seen in fantasy novels.
This kind of battle has never been filmed in movies.
Imagine two masters fighting, and then seemingly without doing anything, the opponent's upper or lower body simply vanishes into thin air. Isn't that cheating?
However, the truth is that there was no cheating involved; in fact, it was just one of the conventional attack methods used by Level Six Civilization.
As the war continued and the distance between them closed, another method of attack soon emerged.
A rectangular Awakeners Rectangular Warship suddenly exited Warp drive, but unlike the previous Harvesters warships which were destroyed before exiting Warp, it was operated by its pilot and the warship was completely undamaged.
Immediately after exiting Warp, a strong Gravitational Wave emanated from the space around the warship, spreading outwards in waves like a vibrating carpet.
The Gravitational Wave from the collision of distant celestial bodies are not harmful because the force is concentrated over a long distance, the frequency of the Gravitational Wave decreases, and the energy they carry decreases.
However, the Gravitational Wave emanating from the space surrounding this warship are different. They have a very high frequency, and the spatial difference between the peaks and troughs is enough to generate an extremely unbalanced Gravity pull at both ends, enough to tear apart all objects it touches with the difference in Gravity.
Compared to the previous attack methods that Beyond the Light Cone, this method is much easier to understand; it is undoubtedly a form of Space Oscillation. Within the attack range, objects will be torn apart due to Gravity imbalance, similar to the Roche Limit when falling into a planet with strong Gravity.
However, the Space Oscillation created by this Awakener Warship did not seem to be an offensive tactic, but rather a defensive one. Sure enough, after the Space Oscillation appeared, a black line was seen rapidly approaching from the distant starry sky at an unbelievable speed, and then collided with the oscillating space.
Instantly, the Black Lines transformed into the shape of oscillating space, then twisted like a tangled rope, before disappearing into the universe under the continuous output of subsequent Space Oscillation ripples.
This shape resembles the way turbulent waves block objects from getting close to the water.
The Black Lines appearing in space are clearly some kind of Space Cutting Strike, while the Space Oscillation of the Awakeners seem to be a way of defending against the Black Lines by using layers of overlapping Space Cutting to consume their energy.
The appearance of the Space Cutting Weapon marked the true entry of both sides into the close combat phase, just like the battle between the Awakeners 'You' and the Harvesters warship squadron. Instantly, Black Lines appeared frequently in the starry sky, slicing the stars and the starry sky in two.
It's not real, but an illusion caused by light.
At this moment, the Starry Sky Battlefield finally transformed from an eerie, quiet battlefield into something resembling a battle between warships, though there were still very few dazzling explosions.
Quietness seemed to be the dominant theme on the battlefield of Level Six Civilization.
The Gravity Bomb scattered throughout the starry sky and the Space Oscillation caused by warships were telling the stars outside the battlefield that the fighting here was fierce.
These Gravitational Wave will travel hundreds or thousands of light-years away in the distant future, and then use the information they carry to tell other civilizations that there were once two Level Six Civilization fighting here.
Light, here, has gone from being the main subject of information transmission to a supporting role.
The battle between the two Level Six Civilization seemed to be taking place in another dimension—intense yet quiet.
During the battle, the Awakeners displayed combat power so strong that it shocked several Level Six Civilization that were secretly hiding somewhere. Their performance was even more exaggerated than the battle between 'You' and the Harvesters warship squadron.
Because they discovered that, until now, the Awakeners haven't destroyed a single warship.
Whether it was the numerous interwoven Black Lines in the starry sky, the Beyond the Light Cone that seemed capable of obliterating warships, or the closely spaced Space Oscillation that were ready to be coordinated, none of them could harm the Awakeners's Rectangular Warship.
It's not that the Awakeners' Rectangular Warship are tough, but rather that they seem to have maxed out their evasion skills, making them completely untouchable by any attack methods.
At the start of the war, several Level Six Civilization that were secretly observing the battle were quite surprised, because they saw that the Awakeners from the Triangulum Galaxy had gained an overwhelming advantage, and what was even more outrageous was that the difference in numbers was so great.
