The 10 million Wind Master and 2 million small spaceships are now less than 100,000 kilometers away from the ragtag fleet. According to information provided by the Nebula Lifeform Branch Consciousness Entity, as long as the distance is kept above 500 kilometers, the branch consciousness will not be able to infiltrate the warships. 100,000 kilometers is already a very safe distance.
The ragtag fleet had already discovered the presence of the Wind Master fleet. As expected of a ragtag fleet, besides the different shapes of their warships, their weapons were also strange, including not only low-level conventional bombs but also high-level antimatter bombs, and some of their bizarre attack methods were even incomprehensible to Hu Yu.
However, that's not important. Most warships don't even need antimatter bombs; a single salvo of high-yield conventional nuclear bombs would shatter them. Even conventional nuclear bombs, manufactured by Star System-Level Civilization, are incredibly powerful. These dilapidated Star-Level warships, produced countless years ago, are definitely not something these warships could withstand.
A large number of ragtag warships were destroyed. Soon, many gas clouds appeared in the starry sky. The second wave of antimatter bombs continued, destroying not only more Star System Level warships, but also causing many gas clouds to dissipate. The Wind Master ' losses were negligible, with only tens of thousands of ships destroyed.
After a series of long-range attacks, the ragtag fleet was quickly routed. It seemed that neither the Main Consciousness nor the Branch Consciousness Entity were as familiar with warfare as humans. Soon, the ragtag fleet was reduced to less than two million ships.
The third wave of attacks continued, this time not with bombs, but with the Wind Master warships themselves. 500,000 Wind Master warships recklessly performed high-speed warp maneuvers in the battle airspace, weaving back and forth, using the strong gravity of their warp engines to attract the wandering gas clouds to their bodies. The Nebula Lifeform that had been interrogated and simulated as Zhang Yuanshan had indeed not lied. As long as two gas clouds were attracted to the surface of the Wind Master at the same time, before they could even merge into the warship, the two gas clouds began to fuse together and then turn into a molecular state.
A small number of Wind Master only absorbed one gas cloud, and were quickly integrated into the warship. However, due to the Wind Master' high-speed warp maneuvering, these gas clouds did not have time to sever their connection with the Wind Master Wind Master. Instead, the Wind Riders severed their connection with the Main Consciousness, making them as dull and lifeless as the gas clouds they had captured before. The Wind Master could then absorb a second gas cloud. Once the second gas cloud was integrated into the warship, it would immediately merge with the first gas cloud, turning into real gas.
Seeing this, the remaining ragtag troops immediately abandoned their attack and scattered to escape. During their escape, gas clouds continuously abandoned the warships, precipitating out of them and merging into the surrounding nebula matter to hide.
Hu Yu had anticipated this situation. The 2 million small spaceships were there to deal with this kind of situation. These small spaceships, equipped with antimatter particle beams, began to operate, jumping directly to the outer perimeter of the ragtag fleet, launching antimatter in all directions, and continuously narrowing the encirclement.
The Branch Consciousness Entity were continuously destroyed by the slowly approaching small spaceship. They tried to enter the small spaceship, but they couldn't get close at all. The continuous stream of antimatter particles was enough to cause fatal damage to them.
Ten hours later, the battle ended. This was the easiest war since humanity entered interstellar space. The Wind Master lost 220,000 ships and captured more than one million warships of various types. Most of these warships contained life, but after investigation, none of them survived. Perhaps they had been corrupted for too long, and even the strongest will would tire.
Two hundred astronomical units away from Earth Two, a ten-kilometer-wide cloud of gas regrouped, shrinking to two kilometers. The gas began to liquefy, and electric currents flowed wildly within it, like a time bomb ready to explode at any moment. This was the Main Consciousness that controlled all the Branch Consciousness Entity in this fleet, an ancient Nebula Lifeform, which we call the Main Consciousness No. 1.
"Humans!!!" The cloud of gas was furious, but it still dared not appear in front of humans. Humans were the most troublesome of the several Star System-Level Civilization- Star System-Level Civilization it had encountered. Hu Yu's earlier action of clearing the airspace with a large amount of antimatter had also frightened it. It was glad that it had not taken any risks, otherwise it would have really become a nebula.
However, it has now lost almost all of its Branch Consciousness Entity, and this loss is far more serious for it than the losses of the ragtag fleet. It can't wait any longer; it can't split off so many Branch Consciousness Entity in a short time. Each time a batch of Branch Consciousness Entity is split off, it needs a period of recovery before it can do it again.
It knew that the other Main Consciousness were also on their way, and it couldn't wait any longer. The possibility of humans bombing the airspace again was close to zero. It should approach the planet inhabited by humans first. However, the more powerful humans were, the higher its chances of being freed. To be freed, taking risks was necessary.
Soon, the cloud of gas expanded until its maximum diameter reached 100,000 kilometers, and then sped toward Earth Two. This was the first time in countless billions of years that the Main Consciousness had taken action on its own.
A few minutes later, the enormous cloud of gas reached the skies above Earth Two. The antimatter particles ejected by the cruiser spaceship continuously consumed its constituent matter. However, the gas cloud was simply too large, and this amount of antimatter consumption was negligible for it. Nevertheless, it did not venture further into the atmosphere of Earth Two, because that was the Wind Master's aerial base, where thousands of tons of antimatter made it hesitant to act rashly, and it had no need to for the time being.
If it were to shrink its size and risk rushing into Earth Two, it would certainly be feasible. However, unlike Branch Consciousness Entity, it cannot integrate into the body of an Earth life form. Its ultimate fate would be to be found and destroyed by humans. As a higher intelligent entity, the Main Consciousness Nebula did not do this. It retreated slightly, transformed into a huge sphere, enveloped Earth Two, and moved slowly around the Earth like ordinary matter.
Academician Liu's space matter anomaly movement scanner was urgently produced in just a few days. After testing, this little gadget is indeed very powerful. In space, at a distance of 10,000 kilometers, the tester took out a sprayer and sprayed it, and the scanner immediately alarmed, indicating that the coordinate error was less than one meter.
These alarms were immediately mounted on the small spaceships and used in conjunction with antimatter particle beams. Antimatter bombs were also loaded onto the small spaceships. With the return of the 2 million small spaceships that had been used to clear out the ragtag fleet and the increasing number of space matter anomaly scanners, the safety of Earth Two was basically guaranteed.
What people don't know is that the matter particles annihilated by these antimatter particles belong to the Main Consciousness No. 1. The antimatter particles are consuming its material structure, but the Main Consciousness No. 1 is so large at this moment that it can replenish the matter consumed by the antimatter particles from other sources.
If everyone knew that a massive consciousness entity had already enveloped the Earth, I wonder if anyone could still sleep. The Main Consciousness No. 1 Entity arrived on Earth Two 2 two days ago, before the scanner started working. By the time the scanner began working, it had already simulated ordinary nebula matter.
The Main Consciousness No. 1 was waiting, waiting for an opportunity to split off Branch Consciousness Entity and invade Earth Two. Now, it was no longer in a hurry. Earth Two was already in its grasp, and no other Main Consciousness could compete with it anymore. The consequence of competing would be the destruction of both. The Main Consciousness No. 1 was now only lacking an opportunity, and it believed that the opportunity would definitely come.
