The Eternal Truth Fleet followed the Alliance Army's route and successfully arrived at the first Level 5 Civilization.
The moment they appeared, they witnessed a shocking sight.
This was a binary star system.
In the distance, a God Hunter War Star loomed like a god of slaughter, surrounded by over ten thousand mechanical warships. Dense beams and Energy Torrents swept through the area.
Thousands of warship wrecks littered the surrounding star system, and even the broken remains of several fortresses could be seen.
At the center of the star system, a star several million kilometers in diameter was slowly collapsing. Countless particle torrents and gamma storms raged throughout the system.
On five Habitable Planets, countless lifeforms made of irregular crystals lay dead on the ground, while natural disasters ravaged every corner of the planets.
Clearly, the Alliance Army had directly blasted apart that star with the God Hunter War Star to make the cleanup easier.
"That's insane." What kind of attack could punch straight through an entire star?
Even if it was only a small star.
Qingyang's eyes suddenly lit up. "That rocky planet on the outskirts has a lot of energy readings. It should be a warehouse!"
Without hesitation, the Eternal Fleet charged straight toward that planet.
[Star Network Notice: God Hunter War Star battlefield enhancement mode is connecting to your fleet] [Within five light-years of the war star, shield strength +25%, maximum speed +25%]
After silently thanking Alliance Father, Qingyang charged ahead with even greater enthusiasm.
They quickly reached the planet's upper atmosphere. Ship cannons tore apart the surface, exposing the underground warehouses beneath.
Because of the gamma storms, all the crystal lifeforms inside the warehouses had already died.
Hundreds of tractor beams descended, gathering countless resources into the Starcraft warehouses. Ordinary resources were filtered out, leaving only those with the highest energy levels and the strongest data in certain aspects.
Crystal with a hardness of 500? Take it!
Metal with life reactions? Take it!
Alloys containing energy-level fluctuations? Take them all!
After swiftly looting the planet clean, the Eternal Fleet set off again, following the star map provided by the Star Network.
Qingyang was grinning from ear to ear.
Reporting things to the authorities felt great once; reporting them nonstop felt even better!
If the Eternal Fleet were on its own, how would they dare act so brazenly within Level 5 Civilization territory? They would have to avoid even a Level 4 Civilization's main fleet.
Not only did the Alliance Army not mind the Eternal Fleet wandering around the battlefield, it even seemed to be helping them on purpose.
Wherever the Eternal Fleet went, they would usually find enemy warship wreckage floating all over space.
Several times, just as the Eternal Fleet appeared before an intact star system, terrifying cosmic light spears would cross dozens of light-years and blast apart that system's star.
Other than a few wandering enemy warships, the Eternal Fleet encountered no overwhelming interception along the way.
Several days passed, and the central region of this world spanning tens of thousands of light-years had descended completely into chaos.
Even with those Level 5 Civilizations forming a coalition army and forcibly ordering Level 4 Civilizations to provide support, they could only barely slow the Alliance Army's advance.
At this rate, those Level 5 Civilizations would be completely destroyed within a few years at most.
Several weaker Level 5 Civilizations had even lost many important regions.
Level 5 Civilizations also possessed war stars, generally five to over ten thousand kilometers in diameter. Some war stars built with every available resource were even larger than the God Hunter War Star.
Yet against the God Hunter War Star, those war stars could hold out for no more than a day before being annihilated.
For two stellar combat units, that amount of combat time was not much different from an instant kill.
They could only rely on the combined forces of all the Level 5 Civilizations, using hundreds of war stars to slowly resist while attempting to wear down the Alliance Army through the depth of their territory.
However, the Alliance Army's goal was not occupation. It destroyed everything wherever it went, so there was no such thing as strategic depth.
The home planets of those civilizations had suffered beyond-visual-range strikes on the very first day.
The destruction of those symbolically significant home planets dealt another devastating blow to the already low morale of the civilization coalition.
Taiyi's main cannon fired.
It efficiently dealt with the few isolated warships ahead.
Inside the control room, Qingyang's smile had not faded once. "All nine warship warehouses are packed full."
These were warehouses equipped with spatial compression technology. Every warship could carry hundreds of millions of tons of resources!
They only counted as conventional resources, far less valuable than the materials needed to manufacture Starcraft. Still, with this quantity, they could trade for several high-end cruisers or even battleships!
"We can't fit any more in. We really can't. Let's prepare to leave this Dimensional World and come back in a few years to take another look."
Qingyang said with a cheerful grin. Powerful Starfleet that had accepted missions had entered one after another over the past two days, so there was no need to stay any longer.
Any fleet that dared accept an Alliance Army war mission had nearly a thousand warships, even if it was a T7 Fleet, and many of them were battleships.
If they were not Silver Fleets, then they were the veterans among Veteran Fleets.
Their warehouses also happened to be overflowing.
Guxing, who had been playing cards with Valen and Mia, looked up. "The timing is about right. There's no point staying any longer."
As he spoke, he stood and left the card table.
Valen and Mia immediately felt as though a burden had been lifted, silently resetting the score counter from 73:0.
Even being driven off the family planet by the main family had not been this agonizing.
Before leaving, they went to visit the Stan People one last time. Seeing the leader diligently studying Alliance management knowledge within the ring habitat, Qingyang smiled.
The Eternal Fleet departed afterward.
The silent, empty space of the main universe.
A massive silver rat-like creature covered in diamond-shaped scales continued forward, nearly twenty percent of its flesh burned completely to charcoal.
Its severely damaged special internal organs were even visible, while the energy patterns on its body had dimmed to nothing.
Suddenly, space rippled before the silver giant rat, and nine gorgeous warships appeared.
The silver giant rat halted warily like a startled bird. The people aboard Taiyi were also stunned.
"..."
"..."
Both sides fell silent. They recognized each other.
Guxing sounded uncertain. "A Sky Shuttle Rat?"
The Sky Shuttle Rat's eyes flashed viciously. It was the fleet that had slaughtered its subordinates a few days ago!
Qingyang was startled at first, but after seeing the energy-level scan data, his face immediately broke into a smile.
Its total energy level was about the same as Taiyi's, and it was heavily injured. It seemed it could not even use spatial teleportation anymore?
"Long time no see, Brother Rat."
The main cannons of Taiyi and Huiyue all activated, and seven or eight blinding beams blasted straight toward the Sky Shuttle Rat.
The Sky Shuttle Rat tried to retaliate with Space Power, but after trying for a while, it could not mobilize much of it at all. It was forcibly struck by the concentrated fire.
Its dim biological force field became even darker after blocking the attack.
The Sky Shuttle Rat was shocked and furious. If not for its injuries, it could have crushed this fleet with ease!
Now, it could not run even if it wanted to. It could only fight.
The violent roar of energy continued for dozens of minutes. By the time the fleet's shields had dropped to 60% and two cruisers had suffered over 10% hull damage, the Sky Shuttle Rat had finally exhausted itself. Taiyi's main cannon then blasted through its wound and killed it.
Qingyang cleared out a mech hangar and placed the Sky Shuttle Rat's corpse inside. He sighed. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Thank you for the Great Universe's gift!"
"Oh, right. I also have to thank Guxing!"
Guxing, who had been wondering why the Sky Shuttle Rat was here, raised his head and looked at Qingyang in confusion.
Only when he saw the teasing look on his sister's face did he understand.
The corner of his mouth twitched, and he finally spoke with difficulty.
"I think this can be explained scientifically."
"Haha, I get it! I get it all! No need to explain. Keep moving. The borderlands are still our top priority!"
Qingyang laughed heartily and patted Guxing on the shoulder.
Before you continue
