Star River's Leap
They only aimed but did not launch the attack, because they wanted to wait for the Star River to finish off the Electron Warship.
On the other hand, Star River is still focusing all its efforts on the Electron Warship, which has now been stretched into a strip. Star River only needs to launch a Space Cutting Strike to cut it in half.
Of course, the Star River represents more than just one warship in the Silver Heart Alliance. The Star River just their flagship. They also have many Escort Ships and numerous other warships that assist the Star River. At this moment, these warships have basically rushed into the effective range of various weapons, ready to strike.
In order to take down the Electron Warship in one fell swoop, the Star River issued a unified command to its fleet, instructing the auxiliary ships following it to open fire on the Electron Warship simultaneously.
Against Electron Warship, the Faster-Than-Light Particle Beyond the Light Cone are not very effective due to their characteristics. Therefore, the warship cluster led by the Star River also uses Space Cutting Weapon as its main means of attack.
Millions of long, Black Lines shot out from the warships, like crescent-shaped slashes, heading towards the Electron Warship approximately one light-year away. Like cracks appearing in the starry sky, the spatial rifts created by the weapons spread rapidly.
The propagation speed of spatial rifts caused by space weapons is faster than the speed of light. Since it is a factor of space itself, being faster than the speed of light does not violate the theory of relativity. The speed at which these warships create Space Cutting lines depends mainly on the operating power of the space weapons when they are launched.
The greater the power of a space weapon, the farther and faster the spatial rift spreads. Because the Great Universe itself is stable, the power of a space weapon will decrease with increasing distance. Also, because of the stability of the Great Universe, after a warship cuts a rift in space, it will be constantly filled by the force of the Great Universe Space- time repair, just like an object sliding across water.
The same applies to the power of Space Cutting. The cutting force emanating from the warship's spatial weapons will gradually weaken and eventually disappear. However, it doesn't directly create a substantial warhead; rather, it's a force that disrupts spatial stability. Wherever this force goes, space shatters into nothingness. This is the general principle behind the destructive power of spatial weapons.
Objects possessing spatial properties, or anything that depends on space for its existence, would theoretically be physically severed in two along with the space itself, which would be shattered into nothingness, under such an attack. As for what constitutes this "shattering into nothingness," that requires further technological explanation.
This kind of being cut in two is not like an object being broken in two in normal understanding, where the broken pieces are put back together and put back together exactly as they were. But when an object is cut in two by Space Cutting Weapon, the space occupied by the object is also cut in half, which is roughly equivalent to being sawed in half by a very thick saw.
Therefore, if it were to be struck by countless Space Cutting Weapons, even Electron Warship would lose its functionality due to a small portion of it.
After all, judging from the appearance of the Electron Warship, its core control part is located in the Macro-Electron half. It is true that electrons are point particles without size, but the moment it becomes Macro-Electron, it has already occupied space. Although no one knows what is inside it, its external manifestation is that it occupies space.
Just as it still exhibits the physical properties of electrons, Macro-Electron are still affected by electromagnetic fields. It's just that normal Magnetic Shielding is too weak. Only the existence of the Remnants that can extend the properties of electromagnetic fields to the cosmic level can restrict its movement.
If the Electron Warship were to be completely destroyed by these countless densely packed Space Cutting Black Lines, it would likely be truly doomed.
Of course, Space Cutting Weapon are not without defenses. In fact, from the moment they developed such weapons, these Level Six Civilization Space Cutting Weapon possessed them found a way to defend against them: Space Oscillation and space stabilization.
Using magic to defeat magic, and using space itself as an effective means of defense against space.
This isn't some kind of one-to-one combat system; rather, it's simply the inherent physical nature of the universe. Once a civilization masters a certain technological principle, it will naturally develop numerous derivative technologies based on that principle. Therefore, there are no actual levels of civilization in nature; rather, the strength of civilizations in the universe is a reference point based on the ease with which they master certain technological principles.
Characteristic Technology break down this hierarchical framework, which is one of the reasons why civilizations with Characteristic Technology are so powerful.
To these Level Six Civilization in the Milky Way Galaxy, Electron Warship are products of the Harvesters' Characteristic Technology, and those elite warships piloted by pseudo-lifeforms are likely suspected to be Characteristic Technology that the Harvesters harvested from a Level Six Civilization that originally possessed Characteristic Technology.
Of course, some civilizations believe that the Harvesters' Characteristic Technology is that their race has somehow been able to understand the Characteristic Technology of other races, which is why they became Harvesters, and that the Electron Warship are creations they obtained by chance.
The elite warships piloted by pseudo-lifeforms are one of the byproducts of the Harvesters's Characteristic Technology.
Which of these two viewpoints is the truth is unknown even to these Level Six Civilization in the Milky Way Galaxy.
But none of that matters now, because the Electron Warship is about to be destroyed. However, before they could even rejoice, the leading Silver Heart Alliance detected that the Electron Warship suddenly and rapidly transformed from a strip-shaped exterior into a hazy sphere, at a speed that left everyone speechless.
Judging from the performance of Electron Warship over the past century, it shouldn't be able to move so rapidly; something unusual must be going on.
Upon seeing this situation, the leading Silver Heart Alliance immediately sensed something was wrong and reacted swiftly.
However, instead of stopping abruptly, it accelerated forward again, but not actually heading towards the Electron Warship that had quickly returned to its spherical shape.
The starlight surrounding their flagship Star River, intensified, multiplying until its streamlined hull was completely covered, resembling a collection of bright spots. Then, these spots seemed to materialize and return to the Star River's Star River, as if draping it in a shimmering, translucent Starlight Outer Garment.
With its streamlined appearance, it truly resembles a beautiful, dreamlike creation.
After the Star River was covered with a star-like Starry Outer Garment, the very front of its bow mysteriously disappeared. Then, in a very short time, the part that had disappeared moved inward from the very front of the bow. At the same time, the missing bow reappeared about one light-year away from where the Star River was.
Two locations in space, one disappears rapidly from beginning to end, while the other appears simultaneously from beginning to end.
Without slowing down, the Star River instantly turned around and moved in the opposite direction. But that wasn't the end of it. Just as most of the Star River's hull appeared in the starry sky behind it, its bow began to repeat the same pattern again, disappearing once more and then reappearing in the distant starry sky.
It's clear that the Star River is running, and its reaction is incredibly fast. Its speed is also very unique, as if it's opening a series of portals in space, allowing it to plunge into one end and appear at the other.
