Boarding the viewing ship prepared by President Li Shun, they saw rows of disc-shaped warships lined up in the sky, stretching for tens of millions of kilometers, one after another, a magnificent and spectacular sight. However, Hu Yu and the others had seen their share of grand scenes, even daring to fight against the top fleets of Small Star Sector Civilization. The scene before them was nothing, not even reaching one-fifth of the Xuan Star Civilization's scale.
Even so, everyone politely expressed their amazement; at least in terms of size, these disc-shaped spaceships far surpassed the Grim Slayer.
"President Li Shun, your fleet is truly awe-inspiring and breathtaking," Hu Yu said politely.
"General Hu Yu, this is nothing. Men, bring the target ship into position!"
A hundred target ships, the same size and shape as the disc-shaped warships, flew in from a distance, only with different paint schemes and more conspicuous colors.
"General, distinguished guests, please observe the ceremony. To provide a clearer view, we have reduced the attack range."
A disc-shaped warship emerged from the formation and stopped a few hundred kilometers from the target ship. With a surge of energy, looking between the two ships at the distant star, the star's appearance had changed. Its original round shape had been stretched into an irregular shape like dough, an effect of light distortion caused by spatial changes.
Looking at the target ship again, its original regular disc shape had been bent into an irregular S-shape. It was clear that the target ship did not have much energy or weapons inside; if it had, it would have exploded long ago.
Everyone applauded in approval and admiration. Hu Yu glanced at Academician Zeng, Academician Zeng nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. From Academician Zeng's expression, everyone could tell that this attack had not yet reached the point of shaking the resolve of the Grim Slayer.
Next, nine more disc-shaped warships moved forward, coordinating with the warship in front. The ten warships surrounded the one hundred target ships, including the one that had just formed an S-shape. Energy surged again, and this time the warships were not simply deformed, but were directly twisted in half, turning into huge fragments and wreckage in the air.
Looking at Academician Zeng again, he remained calm and composed, nodding and clapping. Seeing that Academician Zeng still had this expression, everyone felt reassured.
"General Hu Yu, how are you? Are you alright?"
"The Führer's fleet truly lives up to its reputation as a fleet of Small Star Sector Civilization. It is powerful, awe-inspiring, and has broadened our horizons considerably."
"General, Wei Kaiyuan said that even if you are defeated, you will still be honorable for daring to charge into the territory of the Mu Star Civilization and fight against the Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization."
"Not at all, we were just young and fearless. With 20 million warships, we didn't even scratch the surface of their territory. Instead, they wiped us out in the blink of an eye."
Hu Yu answered modestly, saying that Wei Kaiyuan was unaware of his battle with the Xuan Star Civilization. If they knew that the Xuan Star Civilization, with its 1 billion warships, had been utterly defeated by him, he wondered what their expressions would be.
"General Hu Yu, if you don't mind, why don't you show us what kind of fleet you are, daring to provoke Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization?"
Hu Yu glanced at the two academicians, who remained expressionless, seemingly agreeing to the demonstration of force. After all, if he appeared too weak, his voice would be diminished if the other side displayed force.
"Using force in the head of state's territory is not a good idea," Hu Yu said, feigning reluctance.
"Oh, what does it matter? Someone, prepare the target ship."
"Since the head of state has extended such a sincere invitation, then we will make a fool of ourselves."
Two Grim Slayer approached from afar at 3000 times the speed of light. Hu Yu did not display their full speed, as they had slowed down when they arrived at the territory earlier. Even though Wei Kaiyuan and Guan Sengping had been in the Grim Slayer fleet before, they had no idea how fast the Grim Slayer were moving. They didn't even know the exact location of Earth Two. What they knew was limited to a point in the Mu Star Civilization and what they could see in a limited area on Earth Four.
"General Hu Yu, you're almost at the Small Star Sector Civilization, aren't you? At least your travel speed has reached the initial stage of Small Star Sector Civilization."
"Alas, it's hard to say. We broke the speed of light barrier 4,000 years ago, but we're still at a loss when it comes to space attack methods. Countless scientists have been working day and night, but we still have no clue."
Upon hearing this, Li Shun Shunyuan smiled gently, "General, there's no need to be discouraged. It's true that Small Star Sector Civilization are not so easy to reach. It took us nearly 100,000 years of effort to finally take this step."
"Ten thousand years is already quite good. I heard that the Mu Star Civilization was stuck at the Star System Level level for three hundred thousand years without making a breakthrough. I really don't know how many tens of thousands of years we need to reach the level of a leader."
"General, this is why I've come to seek your cooperation. We are all human, though we originated from different places, we can still be considered one family. If you agree to join us, we can immediately provide you with space attack technology. Moreover, you can become the second most powerful being in our civilization after me. I heard from Wei Kaiyuan that you only have two inhabited planets so far. Look at our place, both the environment and the security are quite good. General, you can seriously consider this."
Hu Yu pretended to straighten the collar of his military uniform, while the two academicians, one stroked his chin and the other blinked half a second slower. In this seemingly casual exchange, they finished their conversation. From the information Li Shun had gathered, humans were definitely weaker than them, but why were they repeatedly demanding that Hu Yu join them? This didn't make sense. Was it really because they were all human? No one believed this reason, so they decided to remain calm and not rush to refuse.
"Alright, alright, I will discuss it with the higher-ups of Civilization. President Li Shun, our warships have arrived. We've made a fool of ourselves."
"Let's wait and see."
Compared to the disc-shaped spaceship with a diameter of over 30 kilometers, the 5-kilometer- Grim Slayer seemed like a tiny speck. At a distance of 1,000 kilometers from the target ship, a large energy sphere, encapsulated and equipped with a warp drive, was launched. In a negligible amount of time, the energy sphere accurately hit the target ship, and then the target ship was instantly obliterated by half in the surging energy wave.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, before anyone could even react. Hu Yu casually glanced at Li Shun, only to see his expression change from surprise to composure, and then a slightly strange smile appeared on his face.
"Excellent, excellent. No wonder you dared to fight against an Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization. General, please continue."
"Continue? Head of State Li Shun, there's no need. This is all we can offer; anything else is just embarrassing. I'm sure you have no interest in seeing it; it's all standard procedure for Star System-Level Civilization."
"Haha, General, you're very frank. In that case, let's stop here. Today has truly been an eye-opener for me. A Star System-Level Civilization not only reaches speeds of 3000 times the speed of light, but also possesses such excellent attack methods. I'm impressed, truly impressed."
"You flatter me, Your Excellency."
"Haha, it really is very good."
"Your Excellency, there are a few questions I've always wanted to ask you."
"Please speak, General."
"Regarding the question of the origins of our two human groups, does the Führer believe this is truly a coincidence?"
"Let's go down and talk." President Li Shun's expression instantly turned serious.
