The battle ended in no time at all.
Although Fang Zheng had brought only a single fleet, the Reapers on the other side were merely an advance force. In the blink of an eye, the Reapers that had been swaggering about moments ago were beaten into a complete mess and utterly wiped out.
Meanwhile, Admiral Mitama finally met with his daughter aboard the flagship and learned about those monsters from her.

The Milky Way Galaxy, the Reapers, harvesting civilizations once every fifty thousand years...
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, if they had not nearly been driven to extinction, the admiral himself might have thought his daughter had developed some Fantasy after reading a sci-fi novel. But now, he no longer had any doubts. Not to mention that Mitama Yurika had recorded plenty of footage from the battles in that world, including all sorts of aliens and massive campaigns. None of it could have been faked.
