The spatial turbulence swept through the swarm with devastating force. Needless to say, the swarm of insects was destroyed, and the Mechanical Civilization's fleet finally disintegrated and exploded under the attack of the planetary cannon. However, before disintegrating, the surfaces of these warships had already been corroded beyond recognition by the insect swarm. They gathered together, trying to break through the swarm's encirclement, and the planetary cannon's attack hit its mark perfectly. Millions of warships exploded in the swarm with a deafening roar.
If there were more planetary cannons and the insects weren't here, they might have been able to completely wipe out these Mechanical Civilization warships, Hu Yu thought. But the next second, the insect swarm had completely destroyed the planetary cannons. He had originally thought that the planetary cannons would take at least eight or ten attacks before being destroyed by the insect swarm, but he hadn't expected that the number of insects attracted this time would far exceed his expectations. It was already lucky that they were able to fire once.
The Zerg swarm's attention was completely drawn to the Mechanical Civilization's fleet; otherwise, the planetary cannon in its energy-charging phase might have attracted the attention of nearby Zerg swarms.
"Humans, what have you done?!" Hu Yu and the others were wondering about the strangeness of the Mechanical Civilization when a fleet descended beside them. These ships had a ferocious appearance, were huge in size, and had very strange colors. The newcomers were none other than the 500 million warships of the Demon Scorpion Civilization.
" Demon Scorpion Civilization, what do you mean by this?" Hu Yu retorted calmly.
"What do you mean? You detonated a star on your own, attracting a swarm of insects. Do you think that will be enough to deal with these Mechanical Civilization warships?"
"We're sorry, we don't know what it means to detonate a star without permission. We're just Small Star Sector Civilization. If we don't stop these Mechanical Civilization fleets, trillions of civilizations and life forms will be destroyed."
"Still trying to deny it! Believe me or not, I'll destroy you right here and now!"
"If you've got the guts, then make a move. Stop talking nonsense. Hmph, I bet you wouldn't dare!"
"Humans! Don't be so arrogant. This old man can protect you for a day, but not forever. Pride will make you suffer greatly."
"No need for your Demon Scorpion Civilization to worry about that. Whether we suffer or not is our own business. Right now, you should abide by the alliance agreement and eliminate the Mechanical Civilization's fleet and swarm as soon as possible. Of course, if you need our help, just say so. Don't be shy, we'd be happy to help." Hu Yu said without any politeness.
"Hmph, just watching from the sidelines. Strength isn't something you can just talk the talk. If your strength were as impressive as your words, we wouldn't have had to make this trip."
After finishing their speech, the Demon Scorpion Civilization's fleet charged towards the Zerg swarm and the Mechanical Civilization. Although Hu Yu hadn't verbally admitted defeat, he was actually impressed by the Demon Scorpion Civilization's fleet. This was the first time he had seen a large-scale fleet from Great Star Region Civilization, and the imposing presence of these warships was far more inspiring than that of the Mechanical Civilization.
The destruction of over two million warships of the Mechanical Civilization by the planetary cannon, coupled with the arrival of the Demon Scorpion Fleet, immediately caused great dissatisfaction among the lower-level machines here. Under the control of a 99-layer machine, they began to change.
They discarded the outermost part again, and the length was reduced from 80 kilometers to 60 kilometers. Although the shrunken warship had nothing special about it, it still broadened the horizons of Hu Yu and the others.
A warship is not an onion that can be peeled layer by layer. A warship is a whole, and discarding any part will affect the performance of the warship.
After shedding their skin, the Mechanical Civilization fleet underwent another change. They moved closer together and combined, and as more and more warships gathered, the combined entity grew larger and larger. In less than two minutes, an incredibly massive warship was born.
The moment it was born, it activated its warp drive. The space here was no longer suitable for warships to navigate due to the interference of the swarm, but this giant warship was not affected. It broke through the swarm's numerous obstacles and appeared outside the swarm's encirclement.
Upon seeing this super-giant warship, even the Demon Scorpion Civilization fleet seemed to slow its advance slightly. However, they quickly realized that no matter how large the warship was, it was only one, and its foundation was that of a low-level civilization in the Large Star Region. This was not enough to make 500 million Great Star Region Advanced Civilization retreat.
After breaking free of the swarm's encirclement, the Mechanical Civilization's super-giant ships charged directly at the Demon Scorpion Civilization's fleet. An immense spatial fluctuation surged into the Demon Scorpion Civilization's fleet, and the violent energy blasted the Demon Scorpion Civilization's warships into countless directions, destroying tens of thousands of Demon Scorpion warships.
The Demon Scorpion Fleet was furious. Their initial attack had failed, and just as they were preparing for a major counterattack, the swarm of insects caught up. They directly blocked the attack paths between the Demon Scorpion Civilization fleet and the mechanical behemoth, and launched an indiscriminate attack on both sides. The mechanical behemoth, in particular, was almost instantly covered with insects of all sizes, which frantically bit, pierced, and corroded its exterior.
This scene left the fleet commander, 99-layer Mechanic, utterly bewildered. He had initially believed these creatures were the forces of civilization, but now it seemed they weren't. However, whether they were or not was irrelevant; 99-layer Mechanic began to control the giant ship and launch a relentless attack.
The Demon Scorpion Civilization fleet was also somewhat agitated. The swarm of insects here did not pose a threat to the fleet, but the number of fleets deployed this time was too small and the number of insects too large. Even if the insects did not move and the fleet had to kill them, it would take a long time. The mission this time was to completely annihilate the Mechanical Civilization and not let a single machine escape. Now that the swarm of insects was blocking the way, it was difficult to guarantee whether the Mechanical Civilization had escaped.
In addition, the mechanical behemoths' continuous use of high-energy spatial attacks might attract new swarms of insects. The insect swarms themselves are not scary; no matter how many swarms of this level there are, they are useless to these Demon Scorpion warships. However, a large number of insect swarms will affect the capture of the mechanical warships.
A portion of the Demon Scorpion Civilization's warships broke free from the swarm's interference and subtly surrounded it from the outside. The warships continuously unleashed spatial attacks, annihilating any insects that approached them.
After surrounding the swarm of insects, all the Demon Scorpion warships simultaneously unleashed tremendous energy. Countless strands of energy intertwined in the air to form a net, and wherever the net passed, the insects were decapitated. Everyone was filled with envy at this sight. This was the spatial attack of a warship from Great Star Region Civilization. It could easily annihilate the swarm of insects even from dozens of astronomical units away.
The Demon Scorpion warships launched several attacks in succession, reducing the swarm by about a third. These warships have extremely precise control over their energy. If the Reaper's spatial attack is like a sledgehammer, then the Demon Scorpion warships are like a sharp wire. Wherever the wire is dragged, the entire swarm is cut in half.
The only thing unaffected was the mechanical behemoth in the middle of the swarm. It was impossible to tell that this super behemoth was composed of countless warships. In order not to attract more swarms, the Demon Scorpion Civilization warships did not attack with all their might. Now, both sides were eyeing their opponent with hostility. The mechanical behemoth was one against five hundred million. They dared not disperse, because if they did, they would be devoured by the other side soon.
