Before this, Keisha had not even thought that the Immortal Qin Empire harbored any hostility toward their Angel Civilization.
First, they were simply too far apart. Even the Big Clock had failed to find the Immortal Qin Empire's location within the vast galaxy clusters of the Known Universe.
Second, the gap between them was beyond Keisha's imagination.
To the Immortal Qin Empire Civilization, their Angel Civilization probably looked no different from a group of primitives.
Conflicts and wars only arose when interests or ideals clashed.
If they were too weak, they would not even qualify to be called opponents.
Then...
Why?
Keisha wisely did not bring up the matter, merely burying her shock deep within her heart.
Because it was useless.
If the Immortal Qin Empire Civilization truly held even the slightest hostility toward the Angel Civilization, the entire Angel Civilization would likely be destroyed in an instant, and Meru Heavenly Court would be reduced to ruins.
They possessed no power capable of stopping the Immortal Qin Empire's iron march.
In other words, Keisha could only pray that the Immortal Qin Empire Civilization would not direct malice toward the Angel Civilization.
That was right—pray.
There was not even room to beg. There was only prayer.
At that moment, the Light Screen before Ye Chen and Keisha changed once more.
The Zerg had finally been eradicated.
Yet the broadcast did not stop. The Light Screen did not shrink, but instead switched to another scene.
It was another utterly ordinary star system in the universe.
This scene was incredibly similar to the Zerg Scourge invasion, except that this star system already possessed a civilization.
Space Fortresses, warships, and collection vessels and research ships floating throughout the system.
After a faint ripple, a pale blue light suddenly appeared within the star system.
It seemed to be light emerging from a fissure.
A fissure had appeared in space...
The watching cosmic civilizations inexplicably thought of the Zerg Scourge they had seen before.
Research ships surrounded the strand of light.
"Report! We intercepted a signal in space. It... is strange. We cannot determine its source. It seems to have come from different times and spaces."
"Begin analysis immediately."
This civilization's language was translated into God River Language, allowing most civilizations in the universe to understand their words and meanings.
"Analysis complete! We have deciphered the information contained in this signal!"
...arrived at the feeding grounds... so much prey... finally... we can feast...
"Warning, warning! Hostility detected!"
"Immediately assemble all fleets!"
"High-density energy aggregates detected... They... they're coming!"
BOOM!!!!!!!
A tremendously powerful energy wave burst from the fissure.
Then, one ship after another emerged from the fissure. These vessels were dreamlike and illusory, as though they should never have existed within time and space.
The civilization in this star system reacted with remarkable speed. Every warship aimed at the fissure, and the instant those ships emerged, they unleashed all their firepower!
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
Energy cannons powerful enough to destroy continents bombarded the mysterious fleet.
Yet they could not even break through their energy shields.
Then, the mysterious fleet spread into formation and issued an annihilation order against the ships that dared to defile them.
The Energy Field Shields of hundreds of ships were shattered in an instant.
With a single round of attacks, more than half of the fleet belonging to the civilization originally inhabiting this system was instantly destroyed.
"Warning! Their attacks... we can't stop them!"
"How are we supposed to fight this?!"
"Yeah! You attack me and can't even break my shield. I attack you, and half your fleet gets wiped out!"
The difference in strength was far too great!
These fleets of unknown origin and the civilization that had originally existed in this star system were as different as fireflies and the bright moon!
The supreme commander clenched his fists and stared solemnly at the Light Screen.
One point of light after another representing his fleet vanished, while countless wails and screams came through the communicator.
"Connect to the Faster-Than-Light Communication Forum. Broadcast this information to the entire universe."
The supreme commander took a deep breath.
"A massive spatial rift has appeared in our star system. Though we still do not know why, it seems to be a one-way portal to another dimension. Strange ships are pouring out of the rift, launching indiscriminate attacks on everything they encounter. They... seem to be hunting. Our ships are as lowly as ants before them."
"Every one of our ships is prepared to fight to the death. We will not retreat, we will not surrender, and we will not yield. Our fleet will either succeed or die with honor. We will not take a single step back!"
"We will fight to the death and never retreat!"
Those words moved every civilization in the Super God Universe.
Knowing it could not be done, yet doing it anyway—fighting until the last warship and the last person remained.
Fight to the death and never retreat!
"Although... although they failed and their civilization was destroyed, I... on behalf of my civilization, offer this civilization the highest respect!"
"I deeply respect that commander!"
However, before they could mourn for this civilization doomed to destruction,
the enormous Light Screen split directly into three sections.
Each section displayed an incredibly similar scene!
The difference was that some civilizations attempted to communicate with them, only to be mercilessly destroyed, while others tried to flee, only to be intercepted.
"What... what are you?"
On a planet about to be destroyed,
a refugee screamed those words at the top of his lungs.
"Food... If you need a name, you may call us High-Dimensional Beings, or Breakers."
Breakers!
At last, people clearly saw the appearance of these creatures.
Their forms were dreamlike and illusory, as though they were mere aggregates of light, differing only in color.
Three different colors seemed to represent three different races.
What they shared was that they all regarded the civilizations of this universe as prey, bringing nothing but endless slaughter and destruction.
Like the Zerg Scourge, they had no value for dialogue or communication!
"Three... three races of Breakers! So many ships! They seem even stronger than the Zerg Scourge!"
"Yeah! There are three entire groups of such terrifying disasters! How are we supposed to fight this?"
The good news was that they did not possess the Zerg Scourge's terrifying reproductive power.
The bad news was that they were far stronger than the Zerg!
If the Zerg Scourge relied on near-limitless reproductive capacity, using sheer numbers to crush civilizations and wipe them out one after another,
then what the Breakers represented was absolute, supreme power!
And that was not all!
"Look! Fleets are still pouring endlessly out of those spatial rifts!"
"Where exactly did they come from? Just how many fleets do they have?!"
This seemed even more hopeless than the Zerg Scourge!
