Slaughter, destruction, reproduction, annihilation.
The endless Zerg did nothing but mechanically repeat these actions, as though they possessed none of the traits of intelligent life.
Screams, war, bloodshed, displacement.
Endless repetition, endless sorrow.
Even the civilizations of the Super God Universe, which had initially been utterly shocked and terrified, had begun to grow numb.
At least tragedies had an end in sight. At least most of them ended on a positive note.
But the Zerg's expansion truly seemed to have no end at all.
Those civilizations at least possessed the capability for space warfare. At the very least, they had Star Destroyer-Class Battleships.
But against the endless numbers of Zerg and their horrifying reproductive capabilities, they were not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.
"Th-This... really exists?"
Someone could not help voicing a despairing question.
But no one answered him.
The civilizations destroyed by the Zerg all seemed to have once shone brilliantly in this universe.
They no longer existed.
And at that moment!
A sudden change occurred!
"Look! What is that?!"
Among the countless voices of despair, this comment stood out in particular!
Everyone instinctively looked up!
Millions of Zerg were still roaming through space, searching for their next prey.
But at that moment, brilliant, dazzling streaks of light suddenly appeared in the star system like sharp swords!
Only after the light faded did people realize that thousands of warships had appeared out of nowhere in the previously empty void!
Thousands of battleships, each the size of an asteroid, stood in an impeccably orderly formation.
These battleships were surrounding an enormous steel fortress.
This appeared to be an entire numbered fleet, because every warship bore the image of an azure dragon.
"Did another fleet run into the Zerg?"
"This fleet has even more ships than the ones we saw before!"
"Not only that! Look at that warship—it's huge!"
"It must be as large as a small star! What a terrifying size!"
"What kind of civilization could build such an enormous warship?"
With such a massive size, even if it were merely a lump of iron, no one knew how many planets' worth of resources it would consume.
That was an astronomical figure their civilizations did not even dare imagine.
"Can they win?"
The fleet's abrupt appearance seemed to rekindle a measure of hope in everyone.
"Are you kidding?"
"True... after all, those are the Zerg."
It was not as though they had never seen fleets before, nor had they never witnessed fleets fighting the Zerg. Yet the outcomes had always been similarly despairing.
No one held much hope for this suddenly appearing fleet.
But what happened next made everyone widen their eyes!
"Energy Arcs, fire in unison."
After a domineering command.
Thousands of ships simultaneously trained their cannons upon the Zerg fleet.
Then...
BOOM!!!!!!
Thick purple arc cannons struck the Zerg fleet dead-on.
A single volley wiped out more than half of the Zerg fleet!
The Zerg fleet emitted countless dense, horrifying shrieks as even more small Zerg rushed toward the mysterious fleet at an even more terrifying speed.
The fleet reacted immediately. Every battleship deployed countless interceptors into space, precisely eliminating those small Zerg that moved at horrifying speeds.
Afterward, all the battleships promptly moved aside, seemingly opening a gap for the Zerg fleet.
"Foolish!"
Angel Zhui immediately became anxious. "If they had maintained that assault, this fleet would have had every chance of wiping out the Zerg! But now, this fleet's commander has given up such a tremendous advantage and exposed such an obvious opening..."
"If this continues... that enormous Space Fortress will be sunk!"
Anyone could tell at a glance that the enormous Space Fortress housed this fleet's command center. In space combat, the destruction of the command center meant a fleet was nearing its end.
However.
As though responding to Angel Zhui's assessment.
A red beam radiating an endless aura of destruction suddenly burst forth from within the enormous Space Fortress!
Bzzzz—
After that shot.
Nearly all the Zerg swarms that had rushed through were annihilated.
It even destroyed most of the remaining Zerg fleet!
The power of that red beam made everyone's eyes widen!
Angel Zhui swallowed the words she had been about to say.
Star Destroyer-Class... no! Power of this level had absolutely surpassed the Star Destroyer-Class!
He Xi dropped into her chair, her expression gradually shifting from shock to bitterness.
"Zhi Xin."
"I'm here, Master."
"That attack just now..."
"Absolutely exceeded Star Destroyer-Class intensity."
"Does our Angel fleet possess anything capable of reaching that level of attack?"
"The offensive capability of that Space Fortress has already far exceeded the combined energy output of the Angel fleet."
He Xi took a deep breath and gazed into the distance.
"I once believed that the Angels were already far ahead of every civilization in the universe. We had never been willing to lag behind others, but... now it seems such thinking was utterly foolish."
No... it could practically be called the ignorance of a frog at the bottom of a well.
A trace of confusion suddenly flashed through He Xi's eyes.
"Keisha, was what we pursued truly correct?"
One attack.
Just one attack plunged the entire universe into silence.
Every intelligent being who witnessed that attack found their minds completely blank. They had even abandoned the ability to think.
If their planet had been struck by such an attack...
The thought was dismissed the moment it arose, because it was simply too terrifying.
What followed seemed rather straightforward.
This fleet methodically eliminated the massive force of millions of Zerg.
Then, it moved toward a planet within the star system that the Zerg had transformed into a nest.
The enormous Space Fortress launched an attack on the planet.
Calling it an attack was not quite accurate. In truth, the Space Fortress merely used that same colossal attack once more.
"For insects like you, utterly devoid of any intelligence, this is the pardon and salvation bestowed upon you by the Immortal Qin Emperor."
"Some would call this method of completely exterminating intelligent life while preserving only inorganic matter an evil war crime."
"I prefer to call it efficient."
"If you still retained even a shred of reason and intelligence, then at the very least, you should remember who exterminated you."
He stood upon that planet, his burly body seemingly wholly unaffected by cosmic radiation. His double pupils carried an aura of dominance capable of overwhelming the world.
"My name is Xiang Yu, foremost among the Four Saints under the Immortal Qin Emperor—Azure Dragon Xiang Yu!"
Then.
Countless massive mechs pierced through the atmosphere and descended upon the planet, which no longer held any trace of life.
