"Alright, bring Li Zhixiong and Gao Jianchuan along, but remember, Li Shun definitely needs to be taught a lesson."

"I understand. With such a large group, wouldn't we make a fool of ourselves if we couldn't even get a glimpse of Li Shun?"

"I don't need to say anything more; you know what's going on."

"Don't worry, it will be done flawlessly."

120 billion Reaper are neatly arranged in the starry sky. The number of these warships is enough to fill 40 Earths. Now these fleets are spread out and arranged, and no other objects can be seen in the entire airspace. As far as the eye can see, there are only densely packed Reaper blot out the sky.

With everything prepared, Wen Zhonghua led Gao Jianchuan, Li Zhixiong, nearly a million warship operators, and hundreds of thousands of logistics personnel on an expedition to the Insect Zone. In addition to remote manual control, the fleet also had the intervention of Superintelligent Robot. All four-dimensional channels would be closed. Although the insect plague was resolved, high-level insects still roamed the fourth dimension.

If these high-level insects were to swarm and descend upon the base, the damage they would cause would be immense, especially to inhabited planets. With a population of nearly ten trillion in the Alliance, the destruction of just a few planets would be a catastrophe. Furthermore, there are still a large number of high-level insects in the fourth dimension beyond the Insect Zone, and their impact on fourth-dimensional communication cannot be ignored. Therefore, the fleet still needs human intervention. That's why Wen Zhonghua brought a large number of operators. Of course, there is an even more important reason for bringing people there.

Li Zhixiong is quite familiar with the situation in the Insect Zone and knows Academician Liu's coordinates very well. He will find an opportunity to bring Academician Liu and Chen Peng, among others, back from the Matter River.

The fleet reappeared in the airspace near the defensive line. Rows and rows of neutron stars were still spinning at high speed along the defensive line. Intense pulse radiation shot out from the poles of the neutron stars like two sharp swords. They stirred up the water like countless whirlpools suddenly appearing on a calm lake.

The Reaper fleet arrived directly at the entrance to the defensive passage that Li Zhixiong had passed through last time. This was the area under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Peak Civilization, and several familiar Heavenly Peak Civilization warships were docked near the entrance.

Hu Yu had previously asked Yun San Civilization Heavenly Peak Civilization that the humans were about to pass through the defense line. At this time, Heavenly Peak Civilization should already know about the human fleet's forced entry into the Insect Zone to annihilate Li Shun. Upon seeing the arrival of the human fleet, Heavenly Peak Civilization immediately ordered the nearby fleet to open a gap. Wen Zhonghua briefly expressed his gratitude and then led the fleet into the Insect Zone.

The human fleet's actions drew gasps of astonishment from a group of Small Star Sector Civilization, who marveled at humanity's audacity in daring to storm the Insect Zone with such a small fleet. Furthermore, many Small Star Sector Civilization secretly learned that humanity was not to be trifled with. Regardless of human strength, their willingness to risk their lives for revenge was enough; anyone who provoked humanity was essentially asking for trouble.

The fleet had traveled less than two hundred light-years when it discovered another fleet engaged in fierce combat with a swarm of insects. Normally, this area is a buffer zone where battles rarely occur, especially after the insect plague, so much so that there haven't been any reports of the defenses being under attack for thousands of years. However, rare doesn't mean nonexistent; just like now, the defenses will never be quiet.

This fleet is not the fleet of a single civilization, but a joint fleet composed of multiple civilizations. It is normal for fleets to cooperate in defensive operations, and Great Star Region Civilization would not allow a single civilization's fleet to fight alone.

The current combined fleet consists of approximately two trillion ships, and there are a corresponding number of insectoids. Moreover, the proportion of high-level insectoids among these insectoids far exceeds that of the super-giant insectoid swarm in the previous galaxy.

Wen Zhonghua was just about to test the power of the dimensional weapon when the perfect opportunity arrived. The Reaper dashed and leaped directly in front of the Allied Fleet. Upon seeing this, the swarm immediately pounced on the Reaper. This was exactly the effect Wen Zhonghua needed; the Dimensional Bomb's attack range was very limited, and the swarm's distance actually reduced the attack's effectiveness.

The warp drive in front began to distort space as it rotated, and various instruments and equipment started working, manipulating energy to enter the fourth dimension. A few seconds later, one after another, four-dimensional hyperspheres with a diameter of more than 500 meters were dragged back into the three-dimensional universe. The Reaper's space cannon had already been fully charged, and it fired as soon as the four-dimensional hyperspheres appeared in the three-dimensional universe.

1.5 seconds later, the spatial cannon's attack reached the swarm. Although the 120 billion spatial shocks were not enough to cripple the swarm, they still killed hundreds of insects. This was not the final number of insects killed, because the explosion from the dimensional fall had already arrived.

If the attack of the space cannon was like a sharp sword piercing through the swarm, then the dimensional fall was like turning that sword into an antimatter sword. Explosions occurred everywhere the space cannon went, and the disrupted fourth dimension spread throughout the entire range of the space cannon's attack. The swarm was blown to pieces, with flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Although this shattered supersphere is not as powerful as the one created by the original Insect King, its attack power is still quite shocking. The supersphere created by the Insect King had an attack range of 100,000 kilometers. The current fleet's shattered supersphere has an attack range of less than 100,000 kilometers, but everything within 1,000 kilometers will be reduced to ashes.

The swarm of insects seemed to be encountering such a fierce attack for the first time, and they were all stunned for a moment. Neither the living nor the dead insects could move.

The Reaper wasted no time; the second Dimensional Bomb rushed into the middle of the swarm. The swarm reacted suddenly, but it was too late. The attack power generated by the dimensional fall was something even the Fourth Reversed State couldn't defend against, let alone these insects.

It's possible that the king of this insect swarm was killed in the attack just now, because at this moment, apart from the insects that were smashed to pieces, countless other insects with broken legs, broken tails, or half-sections turned around and fled, scrambling to avoid being killed in time. This crisis of attacking the defensive line was easily resolved by the Reaper.

The civilization's fleet did not give chase. Initially, they doubted humanity's recklessness, but now, witnessing the power of the human fleet, they realized that humanity truly possessed the strength to force its way into the Insect Zone. The human fleet's strength far surpassed theirs, and if the number of human fleet members increased, few of these Small Star Sector Civilization would likely be a match for humanity.

Several Heavenly Peak Civilization warships on the defensive line transmitted information about the human combat back to the base. The Heavenly Peak Civilization leader secretly admired humanity, thinking, "Humanity has indeed developed very quickly. In just tens of thousands of years, they have already touched the threshold of Great Star Region Civilization. I wonder what the other alliance leaders will think when they see this footage, especially the leader of the Demon Scorpion Civilization." The Heavenly Peak Civilization leader chuckled softly to himself.
