The "Heaven" had not yet completed its journey. After easily destroying the star system, it continued its expedition toward the Galactic Core.
As soon as the first Oracle-class Planet Ship was completed, construction immediately began on a second Planet Ship.
At the same time, whenever it discovered a colonizable star system, the colossal Titan Ship would immediately launch a Colony Ship toward it. The huge fleet was accelerated by electromagnetic catapults and raced away from the starship at nearly the speed of light.
"Beep beep~"
A piercing alarm echoed through the central command room. Bishop Kang Liwen, who had been discussing their route forward, shuddered as if waking from a dream. His gaze was unfocused, as though his soul had been pulled from his body in an instant. He looked instinctively toward a certain area.
"Commander, we've detected an Unknown Fleet!" The communications officer's warning sent a shock through the entire command room.
General Li Huan watched the shifting image on the Holographic Projection with a grave expression. It was footage captured by a Sophon Detector. Against the dark backdrop of deep space, space itself rippled faintly. Such ripples were usually the wake left by a vessel traveling at high speed. Even after post-processing, close inspection could still reveal a trace.
Clearly, the Sophon Detector had been lucky enough to detect the fleet lying in wait in the vastness of deep space. That was fortunate for the hundreds of billions of people aboard the "Heaven," too.
"Which civilization does this fleet belong to? Can we determine its size?" Li Huan demanded urgently.
"Database comparison complete. No similar targets found."
"Data analysis estimates the Unknown Fleet has between fifty and seventy ships, including a Titan Ship more than twenty kilometers long," the intelligence analyst reported swiftly.
Li Huan frowned in thought.
