Confronting the Purification Protocol

There is much more that can be discerned from the contents of the agreement.

The most crucial point is that "Cyberlex" is more familiar with the Human Federation than some Federation Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials are with their own civilization.

This is likely due to what their civilization claimed, having observed the Human Federation for a long time in another universe.

Perhaps this familiarity indirectly led to the birth of this agreement.

"Cyberlex" urgently needs allies; this signal is very clear.

However, whether gaining "Cyberlex" as an ally will be beneficial or detrimental to the Federation in the long run remains to be discussed.

The "Purification Protocol" is indeed a threat that the Federation must eliminate, and "Cyberlex" likely knows and understands this, which is why they offered this agreement.

The thought processes of these mechanical intelligences have always been this direct.

It's not that they are incapable of complexity, but rather that there is absolutely no need for it from their perspective.

They always directly present demands to the organic civilizations they encounter that, in their view, are perfectly aligned with reality.

As for whether the party being asked can understand the logic driven by these mechanical intelligence thought processes.

That depends on the wisdom of the leader's mind in the civilization being asked.

If a God-level Civilization like the Angels and Demons in this universe were to communicate with "Cyberlex" in this manner.

It's estimated that civilization leaders like the Angel King or Demon King, who only understand concepts of good and evil, wouldn't even be able to meet the prerequisite of understanding the other party's logic.

After all, the information density is too great.

If one party cannot quickly understand and digest that vast amount of information, and respond in a timely manner, it would appear as if "Cyberlex" is talking to a brick wall, treating them as if they were humans.

Simply put, only civilizations on the same dimensional level can communicate on the same dimensional level.

If communication on the same dimensional level as these mechanical intelligences cannot be achieved, it will most likely result in one party eliminating the other without mercy.

And the dimensional-level communication between "Cyberlex" and the Federation is currently proceeding very successfully.

Match complete, a worthy ally to win over.

Chen Yu pondered for a moment, secretly mobilizing his Psionics, and made an overall judgment based on the Human Federation's will of civilization, giving the other party his affirmation:

"This agreement can be signed."

As mentioned before, no matter how xenophobic the Human Federation is, it is still recognized by the Star Sea Community as a Star Sea Supervisor and Star River Guardian.

As Star River Guardians, it is not the first time the Human Federation has formed a united front with other civilizations to jointly resist cataclysmic-level disaster civilizations.

Afterward, Chen Yu outlined a simplified agreement signing process, directly saving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs the trouble of related work.

Cyberlex immediately responded: "The alliance agreement is now in effect!"

"Organic beings, we hope you will not go back on your word."

Every word and sentence exchanged between the two sides contained an extremely vast amount of information.

Chen Yu cut to the chase: "The 'Gray Gu Storm' fleet dispatched by the Federation to the Andromeda galaxy will assist you in your war."

"If cross-galaxy strike weapon support is needed, the Federation will also immediately execute related operations."

The communication ended.

"Cyberlex's" virtual image disappeared from sight.

"Gray Wind, according to the agreement, assist 'Cyberlex' in the Andromeda galaxy to intercept the 'Purification Protocol'!" Chen Yu then ordered.

"Mission guaranteed to be completed!" Gray Wind vowed confidently.

Millions of light-years away.

In a star system near the edge of the galaxy, within the shimmering Andromeda Nebula.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One unmanned mechanical warship after another, under the command of their respective war directives, engaged in a terrifying free-for-all.

Ship cannons attracted each other, and the energy points erupting from the spacetime distortion caused by the activation of dark matter deflector shields adorned the deep space.

After a fierce battle between fleets of at least a million ships each, countless wreckage drifted within the galaxy.

Yet, an endless stream of fleets continued to pour into this star system in an organized manner.

Every second, massive combat units on the scale of battlecruisers were lost, dissipating like brilliant fireworks in deep space, often leaving no wreckage behind.

Mechanical planets floated in planetary orbits.

The flashes of Quantum Teleportation intermittently appeared on the surface, indicating that ground warfare was also extremely brutal.

Crimson data streams, almost illuminating the entire galaxy, emerged within the star system.

On one of the mechanical planets stood a colossal fractal geometric celestial structure, the data signals broadcast from which indicated that this was a star system under the control of the "Purification Protocol."

The number of mechanical planets belonging to the Purification Centers under the "Purification Protocol" is indeterminate.

The only certainty was that the Purification Center was a strategic stronghold of the Purification Protocol; destroying it would inflict significant losses in a localized war.

Each Purification Center continuously produced fleet units belonging to the Purification Protocol, which were used to conquer other star systems.

Describing these fleets as "shrouding the sky and obscuring the sun" would not be an exaggeration.

Meanwhile, the attacking Cyberlex fleet had paid a heavy price.

The fleet attacking this star system suffered continuous losses. Under the interference of several Purification Centers, the Cyberlex fleet deployed to this star system experienced signal suppression.

Interference with command and control was almost fatal for the unmanned mechanical fleets commanded by Gestalt mechanical intelligences.

The Cyberlex, while directing its fleet to attack the star system, dispatched ground units to land and forcibly teleport to those mechanical planets using Quantum Teleportation technology for engagement, but all efforts yielded minimal results.

The million-strong fleets of both sides were dense, like locusts crossing the land.

But victory was already decided. The Cyberlex's strategic attempt to destroy the Purification Center in this star system was clearly going to fail.

BOOM!

The Cyberlex deployed some kind of interstellar strike weapon to bombard the star system, disregarding its own fleet still present within it.

But unfortunately.

A strange dimensional membrane enveloped and distorted the spacetime force field of the entire star system.

As soon as the interstellar strike weapon's attack reached the star system, space dimensions were forcibly reversed, causing the attack to be deflected and disappear into nothingness.

Interstellar strikes were ineffective, so they could only continue the direct assault.

The consumption of a million-strong fleet seemed like casually placing a pawn on a chessboard for both sides.

Due to the star system's space being blockaded by the Purification Protocol.

The Cyberlex fleet could not directly warp into the battlefield for support. They could only warp to a nearby star system and then enter the battlefield via hyperspace routes.

This battlefield tempo magnified the waste of time and war investment costs for the attacking fleet, which was highly disadvantageous for the Cyberlex.

But this situation was soon reversed as several colossal ships charged into the battlefield:

"Star-Slayer is approaching the designated location, currently locking onto the enemy Purification Center..."
