"At this time, if I need to ask the Fish Horse Star Civilization for help, I would rather lead a portion of my people to escape."
"Chief, you'd better make a decision quickly. At this rate, it won't be long before our entire planet is trapped in distorted space, and countless people have already died."
"I am a sinner against civilization! I am a sinner against civilization!"
Overwhelmed by guilt and self-reproach, Feng Long suddenly screamed and slammed his head against the wall. His head instantly shattered, and he lost all signs of life. Thus ended the life of the chief scientist who led the Xuan Star Civilization civilization to its pinnacle.
"Lord Feng Long! Lord Feng Long!" Bi Cha cried, holding Feng Long's body. This great scientist was an idol of the entire civilization and the most admired person in the entire civilization.
" Feng Long is too proud; he can't handle this kind of blow," the leader said weakly, shaking his head.
"Chief, what should we do now?"
" Bi Cha, the War Commander has perished. You've fought the most against humans. I hereby formally appoint you to replace the former War Commander and take command of this war. I refuse to believe the human fleet still intends to devour us."
"Yes, Chief. Bi Cha will definitely complete the mission. Chief, you should get on the ship quickly. It's no longer safe here. I will try my best to rescue the civilians; every one I can save is a blessing."
"Okay, go ahead and do it."
Two billion Star System Level warships are already on their way to various planets, with the number of large spaceships along the way constantly increasing. These spaceships are all sent by civilians to rescue the people of other planets.
Like humans, the Xuan Star Civilization also has many small spaceships for ordinary people to use. However, space attacks are not limited in scope like other bomb attacks. By the time Feng Long reacted, space had already begun to distort, and the fragile life forms immediately became the first victims.
Upon receiving the news, the planet's inhabitants immediately boarded small spaceships and took to the air. However, the small spaceships had limited power and could only guarantee the basic survival of the inhabitants. They were unable to resist the power of the space vortex and could only struggle in the space quagmire. Countless warships and large spaceships were rushing to rescue them and help them escape.
The Xuan Star Civilization truly lived up to its reputation as an advanced civilization. In less than a month, it used 2 billion warships to save over 300 billion people and small spaceships. However, the other 200 billion people could never be saved.
The entire Xuan Star Civilization was immersed in immense grief. Hu Yu saw this scene in the images transmitted from the remaining miniature spaceships, and his thoughts drifted back thousands of years. Back then, the Fish Horse Star Civilization destroyed billions of ordinary people with a single bomb. The scene was so similar to today. He never imagined that thousands of years later, humanity would inflict such a tragedy on other civilizations.
Hu Yu could even hear the cries of ordinary people from the Xuan Star Civilization. They had lost their relatives, friends, lovers, and clansmen; they had lost the fruits of their years of hard work; they had lost everything.
Seeing this scene, Hu Yu felt a pang of regret, but when he thought of Luo Zhigao, Hu Yu immediately reaffirmed his resolve. Back then, the Xuan Star Civilization had hunted down Luo Zhigao, killing hundreds of millions of their compatriots. Their current predicament was entirely their own doing. Besides, there is no right or wrong, no morality, between civilizations; there is only winning and losing.
Bi Cha gathered all the rescued members of his race into Star System-Level Civilization warship. Now that space has begun to rotate, the warp drive is not working properly, and they can only rely on conventional power engines to take them out. However, this place is 80 light-years away from the outermost space. Relying on conventional power engines, the maximum speed here can only reach 0.3 times the speed of light. In other words, it will take at least two hundred years to escape.
Bi Cha believed that the human fleet would arrive here soon, and once the human fleet arrived, his own fleet would have little advantage in attack, except for its speed advantage, and would even be at a disadvantage.
There are still 150 million warships in the territory of the Mu Star Civilization. These warships have arrived at the outer perimeter of the civilization's territory. Bi Cha knows that these warships cannot stop the human fleet from entering the vortex, but it would be good if they could stop some or destroy a portion. At least his own fleet still has an absolute advantage in normal space.
A powerful fleet of 250 million warships has engaged in battle with Ji Wa on the outskirts of the Xuan Star Civilization's territory. These warships are jet black and move at speeds exceeding 3,500 times the speed of light. They immediately unleashed a wave of energy ball attacks, leaving Ji Wa's fleet disoriented. If it weren't for the energy balls, a uniquely human phenomenon, Ji Wa would have even suspected that this was the fleet of another Small Star Sector Civilization.
" Bi Cha, humans, humans have arrived."
"Stop them!"
"My lord, we can't stop them. My fleet has already lost more than half its size."
"What? That's impossible! Our fleet's combat power far surpasses that of humans."
"My lord, it's true. The human fleet's speed has exceeded 3,500 times the speed of light, faster than ours, and their defensive capabilities are terrifyingly strong. None of our attacks can harm them."
" Ji Wa, are you telling the truth?"
"My lord, at this point, how could I possibly lie? The human fleet is equipped with a strange type of armor. We've tried everything—long-range lasers, antimatter, particle beams—all to no avail. Now, even our spatial attacks are significantly less effective. My lord, you must protect the leader and help him escape! Humans are not what we imagine. They are terrifying, utterly terrifying. We've provoked an existence we shouldn't have. Whether our civilization can be preserved depends on you, my lord. I will do my utmost to hold them off until I die."
" Ji Wa!"
"My lord, although we have had some conflicts in the past, what do these conflicts matter when our civilization is facing a life-or-death crisis? After all, we are our people. My lord, you must protect the safety of our leader and lead the Xuan Star Civilization to escape."
" Ji Wa, take care!"
After the call ended, Ji Wa became more alert, and the fear of death was gone from his determined gaze. The human fleet was now faster than them, and neither the Space Barrier nor the Space Cage could achieve good results.
"Order the fleet to ram them. Let's learn from the humans."
"Yes, sir," the adjutant replied firmly.
The warships of the Xuan Star Civilization were much larger than those of the Grim Slayer. The Grim Slayer were caught off guard by the sudden collision of the warships, and now the tables had turned.
The two warships flew towards each other and collided with a bang. Under the enormous speed and impact, the two warships rapidly shortened from long to short. The Grim Slayer, in particular, shrank from 5,000 meters long to less than 200 meters, as if it had turned into a large pancake. Then, the two pancakes were reduced to fragments in a huge explosion. All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and even computers could not react in time. After all, even four-dimensional channels have distances and are not zero-latency.
"Scatter! This isn't a time for flexing muscles! Why are you all concentrated like this? Avoid them! Our objective is to enter the territory of the Xuan Star Civilization. Don't waste time fighting them outside!" Wen Zhonghua shouted, facing the sudden loss of 5 million Grim Slayer.
