The Silicon-Based Collective fleet, which had been hesitant to accelerate at full speed, immediately ramped up its speed and charged toward the Harvesters fleet after seeing the Electron Warship being suppressed.

The warships of the Silicon-Based Collective are less like warships and more like bizarre shapes. Unlike the orderly warships of other civilizations, their warships come in all sorts of shapes.

However, during navigation, the Silicon-Based Collective's warships generally appear as Warp Engine, but when attacking the enemy, they transform into corresponding weapon forms in a very short time.

The Silicon-Based Collective possesses a technology called Deformed Metal, which is their Characteristic Technology. As one might imagine, their Deformed Metal can transform into any creation their technology can produce. Whether it's Warp Engine, Space Cutting Weapon, a particle attack method Beyond the Light Cone, or a creation with various detection functions, they can all transform into it independently.

This Characteristic Technology allows the Silicon-Based Collective to achieve faster acceleration than other civilizations when in Warp Engine mode, and thus, in weapon mode, to possess larger calibers and greater destructive power. They can also transform into individual shield generators, making their shields more durable than those of other civilizations.

The Silicon-Based Collective, possessing this Characteristic Technology, is stronger than ordinary Level Six Civilization in every aspect. Their warships are more powerful, and they can develop various resources faster. It can be said that they are stronger than ordinary civilizations of the same level in every aspect of their civilizational activities.

It can be said that he has maximized every ability, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a hexagonal warrior.

Moreover, each of their warships is a multi-functional vessel, capable of being used for warfare, resource extraction, and exploration. What other civilizations require many different types of ships to accomplish, they only need one type, because their single ship encompasses all the transformations.

This special technology makes the Silicon-Based Collective extremely powerful. Even if several Level Six Civilization came together, they would not be a match for them. However, all life in this consortium is mechanical, and when faced with the Electron Warship of the Harvester Civilization, the strongest civilization in the Milky Way Galaxy, they would only be destined to die.

However, it's clear that in a one-on-one battle, the Harvesters' conventional combat power wouldn't be able to defeat them, even their Ace Fleet. Of course, it's not as extreme as the Awakeners. The Awakeners' Characteristic Technology is practically a predictive evasion cheat; as long as their warships have sufficient maneuverability, they can evade most attacks.

A Level Six Civilization is very large. The Silicon-Based Collective, as a consortium of silicon-based civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy, was still numerous even after being suppressed by the Harvesters for many years. After they joined the battle, the Harvester Civilization's warships were no longer dominant on the Starry Sky Battlefield.

Moreover, there are more than twenty other ordinary Level Six Civilization, which directly outnumber the Harvester Alliance by dozens of times.

The entire Starry Sky Battlefield entered a new round of combat at this moment, a battle on a larger scale. Countless warships clashed back and forth in this starry sky, leaving behind a crisscrossing trail of weapon marks.

Countless lives were lost in this Grand War.

The Harvesters' conventional combat strength was already inferior to the Awakeners', and now, with the absence of Electron Warship and the addition of many Level Six Civilization, the balance of power immediately shifted. The Harvesters went from a significant advantage to a precarious situation in an instant.

Of course, this transformation doesn't happen overnight, because it takes time for each warship and each civilization's fleet to join the war, and the actual combat process takes even longer. Eliminating the Harvesters's conventional forces, who are at a disadvantage, is also not a matter of a single moment.

Moreover, what truly determines victory or defeat is not the Harvesters' conventional combat power, nor the swarming Level Six Civilization, but the outcome between the Electron Warship and the Remnants on the battlefield.

What is the current state of the battle between the two?

A civilization monitoring the situation discovered that the two sides were still in a stalemate. However, things were different from the beginning; the Electron Warship had moved from a range of five light-years to a range of three light-years.

But that's all.

The Electron Warship seems to have been truly blocked at a distance of three light-years. Of course, it's also possible that the Electron Warship no longer needs to get close.

From the distant starry sky, it can be seen that the Electron Warship seems to be stuck. It is not moving closer to the Remnants, but it is moving sideways, albeit very slowly. It and the Remnants seem to be fixed in the starry sky and unable to move.

And as time goes by, the danger of the Electron Warship is constantly being kneaded like dough. With each transformation, the Electron Warship's hazy appearance weakens a few more times, as if it can be torn apart with just a little more effort. But every time it seems about to be torn apart, the Electron Warship can always slowly turn back into a sphere.

This situation caused the Silicon-Based Collective had been closely monitoring the movements of both sides, to become extremely anxious. If there was anyone among these Level Six Civilization who cared most about whether or not they could destroy the Electron Warship, it would undoubtedly be the Silicon-Based Collective. They couldn't help it; the Electron Warship was far too effective against them. Once the Electron Warship was gone, it meant they could move freely throughout the Milky Way Galaxy, no longer fearing that Electron Warship would suddenly emerge from the Void and slaughter them.

The Silicon-Based Collective desperately wanted the Electron Warship destroyed. After witnessing its stalemate with Electron Warship the Remnants, they considered going to its the Remnants. Now, the Electron Warship was like a star stuck in space, moving slowly—the perfect moment to strike it.

Ideas should be put into action, but the results of these actions have made the Silicon-Based Collective somewhat uneasy.

They first approached and launched long-range attacks on the Electron Warship from seven or eight light-years away using methods Beyond the Light Cone, but without exception, the Electron Warship detected and evaded them in advance.

The attack methods Beyond the Light Cone are faster than light speed, but they are not infinite speed. At a great distance, it still takes time from firing to the particle beam hitting the target, and time is needed to evade.

Otherwise, the Awakeners wouldn't possess such powerful evasion abilities. This is also why battles between Level Six Civilization occur at closer distances.

Through this simple probing attack, the Silicon-Based Collective determined that the Electron Warship still had spare capacity. This assessment made them hesitate, as they had initially intended to approach and attack the Electron Warship further. The Silicon-Based Collective had originally planned to get closer, even within 4 light-years, but now that the Electron Warship seemed to have reserves of power, they truly developed a psychological aversion to it.

The main problem is that the Electron Warship is currently in a very harsh environment. If their transforming warships run in, they are likely to be torn apart by the struggling and frantically attacking the Remnants of the Electron Warship.
