But now the appearance of the abominations had brought the situation back to square one.
"What a shame. If the Purgatory Fortress could travel a little faster and reach its position before the tide surge arrived, it could ease some of the pressure on the Empire in this regard," Conilia said regretfully.
"The Wall of Sighs can use wreckage to build fortresses. We could take advantage of that and gather up large amounts of battlefield wreckage."
"That would barely make a dent," Lin Zhichen said.
He could gather wreckage from hundreds of light-years around a target point, but compared with the boundless Deep Space Battlefield, that area was almost negligible.
"Deep-space acceleration isn't entirely impossible." After thinking for a moment, Liu Manyun frowned and said, projecting the image of a Leviathan Beast. It was a Shell Beast.
These were the most numerous naturally occurring Leviathans the Empire had bred so far. Their total population had already exceeded a thousand, with more than two hundred adults.
"The Biological Research Institute once made an interesting hypothesis. These Shell Beasts are incredibly fast and strong. If we had them carry Gravity Locks, they could pull warships along at FTL speeds.
"I used to think of it as a joke. Ordinary warships have a speed limit when traveling through 3D spacetime. They're bound by the rules of the Material Realm. If they were dragged through spacetime, the only outcome would be for the rules of matter to crush them into a heap of wreckage.
"But now that I think about it, wouldn't this work perfectly for the Purgatory Fortress?"
World Fortresses traveled by using Warp Bubbles to break through the limits of the Material Universe. If they were dragged through spacetime, they wouldn't be bound by the Cosmic Rules.
"Brilliant idea. But aren't Gravity
