It took the Third Exploration Fleet nearly two hundred years to circle around to the other side of that colossus.
As more reconnaissance robots approached, the "rule wreckage" that had first appeared before the Mechanical Civilization gradually revealed its true form.
It was not the corpse of some creature, but an ancient battlefield that had been squeezed and twisted together!
Countless shattered astral bodies, War Fortresses, and warship wrecks had been kneaded into a single mass by an extremely tyrannical Rule Power.
The gray structures on the outermost layer that looked like scales were actually metal warships that had completely lost power.
The black patterns extending through the interior like blood vessels were energy conduits from all kinds of shattered war instruments, still operating slowly even after breaking apart.
The huge breach the Third Fleet had discovered earlier should have been a battlefield scar left by some powerful attack.
That breach had pierced through who knew how many War Fortresses, ultimately driving deep into the very center of the entire mass of wreckage.
The mechanical fleet had only approached the outer edge of the breach before detecting large amounts of already extremely faint rule radiation.
After persisting for such a long time, this radiation could still cause large-scale malfunctions in some low-level reconnaissance robots.
One could imagine just how intense the Dimension War that had erupted here back then had been!
The Third Fleet did not immediately enter the interior of the wreckage.
Millions of micro-robots completed four rounds of exploration one after another. Only after confirming that there were no obvious active targets in the outer region did the mechanical fleet dispatch its first landing force.
An ancient warship with a relatively complete body shape became the first object explored by the Mechanical Civilization.
The warship's length exceeded the
