The Silver Heart Alliance, in particular, possessed strong stealth capabilities and discovered that the Harvesters' Ace Fleet had not yet joined the battle. The Silver Heart Alliance's leadership had initially believed that once the Harvesters' Ace Fleet entered the fray, the Awakener Civilization would be in serious trouble and would inevitably fall into a disadvantageous position.

After all, the Silver Heart Alliance was the civilization that had fought the Harvesters the most in the Milky Way Galaxy. They knew the Harvesters' Ace Fleet's combat power, but after seeing the Awakeners' performance, the Silver Heart Alliance's high command fell silent. They felt that even if the Harvester Civilization's Ace Fleet joined in, they still couldn't defeat this Awakener Civilization from the small Triangulum Galaxy.

The Silver Heart Alliance could see it, and the Harvesters, as the parties involved, could naturally see it too, but they seemed unwilling to admit defeat.

After failing to achieve good results with their elite Pseudo-Lifeform fleet and after conducting multiple large-scale attacks without success, their Ace Fleet was deployed.

The Harvesters' Ace Fleet was entirely piloted by their actual individual lives. After they appeared, the warships on the battlefield clearly received some kind of instruction and, in a very short time, they approached each elite warship in batches and layers in an orderly manner, forming new combat units.

The new combat unit is centered around an elite warship fleet, equipped with a certain number of elite warships and a large number of ordinary warships, and then operates under unified command and control in a coordinated manner.

The effects of this combat strategy quickly became apparent. The Harvesters' accuracy and coordination improved significantly, and they also demonstrated superior Improvised Decision. It seems that, like the Awakeners Harvesters, the individual Reapers have evolved to a level surpassing even Strong Artificial Intelligence.

The Harvesters' Ace Fleet joined the battle, but as the Silver Heart Alliance had predicted, they were still unable to reverse the disadvantage.

The new combat units are much more powerful than before, but they still struggle to hit the Awakeners's warships with their existing attack methods. Space Oscillation, Space Cutting, and Faster-Than-Light Particle streams are all avoided by the Awakeners's Rectangular Warship as if they were being anticipated, just like before. Only wide-area destructive weapons can occasionally hit one or two targets, but without continuous damage, they cannot overload the Awakeners's invisible shield.

On the other hand, as the war progressed, their own warships were destroyed one by one by the Awakeners.

If things continue this way, the Harvesters' warships will eventually be exhausted, and the only way to achieve victory seems to be waiting for the Awakener Warship to run out of fuel. However, a fact confronts the Harvesters: Level Six Civilization's fuel won't run out so easily, at least not within the next five hundred years. After all, Level Six Civilization's navigation technology is already close enough for the Great Voyage; if they ran out of fuel so easily, they would have perished on their way to the Milky Way Galaxy long ago, although combat and navigation are very different.

Five hundred years later, the Harvesters have no idea what kind of losses they have suffered. Moreover, with the Awakener Civilization's overpowered evasion ability, they can fight and run at the same time if they lose their core Small Universe.

In this light, the Awakeners' Small Universe has become the very thing that binds them to fighting in this star system.

However, in the ensuing battle, the Harvesters shattered this restraint.

Despite their numerical advantage, they did a good job of impacting the Awakeners's Small Universe, even though they couldn't gain the upper hand in the battle against the Awakeners's warships.

After pinpointing the location of the Awakeners's Small Universe, billions of Harvesters warships swarmed towards Small Universe, unleashing Space Cutting Weapon at the space concealing the Small Universe. Billions of Space Cutting Strike strikes cleaved the entire space containing the Small Universe into threads. Although many Awakener Warship the Small Universe defended themselves with Space Oscillation, the sheer number of Black Lines unleashed by the Harvesters was overwhelming, making it impossible to completely block them all, nor could they all be targeted, as doing so would destroy their own warships.

Unlike a warship, Small Universe has nowhere to run when faced with a barrage of Space Cutting.

However, the Awakeners's Small Universe was cleverly arranged, and it actually survived the first wave of hundreds of billions of attacks, though it was on the verge of collapse. The reason was that during the first strike, the Harvesters failed to fully determine the area covered by the Small Universe, so many of its spatial weapons missed their targets.

Even so, the Awakeners's Small Universe still manifests from nothingness or spatial crevices.

After countless Black Lines streaked across the sky, a stellar ray of light suddenly appeared in the previously empty starry sky. It was not the light of Supernova Explosion, but rather the light emitted from the star inside the Awakeners's Small Universe after it was cut open.

And there's more than one crack.

In fact, Level Six Civilization has the tools and technology to repair its Small Universe, but before the Engineering Ship or repair programs within the Small Universe can make repairs, the Harvesters' second wave of attacks arrives.

This time, the Harvesters' attacks were more precise and more concentrated.

Countless Black Lines, almost forming a black grid, once again tore through the Three-Dimensional Space of the Great Universe, simultaneously impacting the Awakeners's Small Universe. The already crumbling Small Universe, after these two blows, finally lost its spatial balance and collapsed with a deafening roar.

The Awakeners' Small Universe is vast, and it certainly wasn't dragged from the Triangulum Galaxy, as dragging Small Universe would be too slow; it would be impossible to move it from the Triangulum Galaxy to the Milky Way Galaxy. This Small Universe was painstakingly created by the Awakeners after they arrived in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Their goal, like that of other Level Six Civilization, is to conceal themselves.

Oh, the Awakeners have another function: protecting the Fallen Civilization they awaken. However, having only recently arrived in the Milky Way Galaxy, the Awakeners have only found three or four Fallen Civilization. Of these, only one has been moved into their own Small Universe; the other two are still being awakened. However, the awakening process was only halfway through when the individual Awakeners tasked with the mission were notified to return and participate in the battle.

From this perspective, those two civilizations actually escaped unscathed.

As soon as the Small Universe collapsed, a powerful Gravitational Wave appeared inside. This was the force that originally supported the Small Universe in escaping the Great Universe Space. Now that the Small Universe was damaged and the space returned to its original state, it was instantly swept away by an extremely strong and chaotic Gravitational Wave, just like a bubble bursting in water.

Space itself is invisible, but the things inside the original Small Universe can be seen.

In the instant the Small Universe collapsed, the planet, galaxy, spaceships, warships, and all other creations of the Fallen Civilization within it were instantly torn to pieces by this unbalanced Gravity turbulence, just as if half of them had been Gravity Strangulation of a rapidly rotating black hole, vanishing into nothingness in an instant.

Indeed, it happened in an instant, because the movement of space itself does not obey the theory that the speed of light cannot be exceeded.
