The dazzling light of the explosions gradually faded.
The deep black streaks gradually vanished as well.
At the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy, where matter was already exceedingly sparse, a region of true vacuum had now formed.
Although the explosions had ended, the Spherical Warships that had caused them remained in place, braced for a formidable enemy.
Time ticked by, second after second.
An infinitely extending thin line slowly emerged from the vacuum.
The moment it appeared, it reached straight toward one of the Spherical Warships.
Amid blinding light, the Spherical Warships stretched longer and longer, their width and height rapidly disappearing until they became an infinitely extending silver-white thread.
Under its own gravity, the immensely long silver-white thread rapidly gathered into a silver-white tangle, floating silently in space.
Meanwhile, off to one side, a constantly twisting, roughly spherical structure slowly emerged from a gray shadow.
Then the roughly spherical structure rammed straight into a Spherical Warship.
In the next instant.
Several creatures, each with six slender tentacles, abruptly appeared outside the Spherical Warships.
They struggled in agony in the vacuum.
Around them floated various components from inside the Spherical Warships.
As for the Spherical Warships that had been attacked, they were now empty shells, floating silently beside this "space debris."
War had begun.
There was no communication. The moment both sides confirmed each other's identities, the war reached a fever pitch.
From the very beginning, this war was utterly bizarre.
From the sudden explosions to the unexpected methods of attack, every aspect of it was steeped in strangeness.
Far away, in the Gliese 555 Stellar System on the other side of the Milky Way Galaxy.
[Earth].
Lü Yongchang sat in his office, silently gazing at the cosmos beyond the viewport.
Even the nearest star, Gliese 555, could
