They rotated around the center of this three-dimensional space. From a distance, these warships could be seen facing each other in pairs. If one warship crossed the center line, it would pass by the other warship. They not only rotated around the center, but the warships also began to release energy. This energy distorted and folded space, forming small three-dimensional spatial channels between the opposing warships.

Soon, countless such spatial channels were built, and these channels constantly intersected and moved in opposite directions around the center. Moreover, although the Fish Horse Star warships were in pairs facing each other, their trajectories were not circular, but showed signs of random movement, with no discernible pattern.

"Something's wrong! Evacuate immediately! Evacuate immediately!" Heavenly Peak Civilization shouted.

"What's wrong?" The Rock Star Civilization was still confused.

" The Fish Horse Star Civilization too ruthless. They're trying to wipe us out in one fell swoop. This Space Millstone will grind our entire fleet into elementary particles."

Hu Yu had also noticed that something was wrong. The entire space had turned into a complex three-dimensional millstone, or a twisted gear. As the Fish Horse Star Fleet continued to accelerate, this Space Millstone was moving faster and faster. The center of the entire three-dimensional spherical millstone was not only the point of greatest spatial twisting power, but also the point of greatest spatial curvature. This point was the entrance and exit of the Mirror Sub-Universe.

Hu Yu immediately ordered the Conqueror on the periphery to attack the fast-moving Fish Horse Star fleet. However, the Fish Horse Star warships were moving at high speed, and the Conqueror couldn't even keep up. The attacks relied entirely on luck, and even if they did hit them, they had little effect.

The combined fleet had ceased its attack and was preparing to withdraw, but it was too late. The combined fleet had already begun to move along with the movement of space. At this moment, the Fish Horse Star fleet at the center had begun to disintegrate. Hu Yu did not expect that the Fish Horse Star warships, which even the suicidal dimensional reduction attack could not harm, would disintegrate so easily in the attack they created.

" The Yun San. The spatial curvature created by the Fish Horse Star is too great, and coupled with the spatial disorder, we can't escape. Now we can't even enter the fourth dimension. The Fish Horse Star Civilization too ruthless."

" The Fish Horse Star Civilization's move was indeed unexpected, killing two birds with one stone. Their series of actions not only wiped out humanity but also severely weakened us. Let's launch a suicide attack with our fleet, destroying all the Fish Horse Star warships at the center, and see if we can win a glimmer of hope for humanity."

"Sigh, it's probably difficult. The Fish Horse Star's own warships have already disintegrated. Humans can't possibly get through. We've done our best," sighed the Heavenly Peak Civilization.

"Our lack of understanding of the Fish Horse Star Civilization led to such heavy losses. Although everyone volunteered, I still bear some responsibility."

"Forget it, I should have mobilized 100 billion."

" Demon Scorpion, shut up!"

Hu Yu saw that the Fish Horse Star fleet at the center had almost completely disintegrated. The warships of the tens of trillions of combined fleets that were fighting alongside these Fish Horse Star warships were also being destroyed rapidly. As the outer Fish Horse Star fleet spun faster and faster, no warships could be seen within 5 billion kilometers of the center anymore, only wreckage. Moreover, the wreckage was constantly getting smaller.

"General, I'm sorry, I'm powerless to help either. The space is too chaotic; our Tree Race's spatial teleportation is impossible. This time, we're truly doomed."

" Ninety-Seven, we've dragged you down with us."

"General, if it weren't for you, I would have been dead long ago. If it weren't for you, the Tree Race would still be like walking corpses, hiding and running away. We've lived freely for tens of thousands of years, and that's enough."

"If there is an afterlife, humanity will never fail the Tree Race."

Hu Yu smiled bitterly. Of the ten billion Conqueror, only more than 700 million remained. The remaining Conqueror and Tree Race planets were far from the center, but they couldn't hold out for long either. The entire fleet had been exposed, but the Fish Horse Star Civilization's fleet was all used to manufacture Space Millstone and hadn't launched an attack. However, with the Fish Horse Star fleet accelerating, it would probably Yun San in a few tens of minutes.

"Unbelievable! After 80,000 years of effort, we still couldn't escape the clutches of the Fish Horse Star Civilization. Leader, I can no longer complete the mission you entrusted to me. Comrades, I'm sorry. Following me has led you into a desperate situation. This time, there's truly no way to turn the tide."

"General, we've lived such a wonderful life, that's enough. We can die without regrets, haha, no, that's not right. The only regret is not being able to destroy the Fish Horse Star Civilization."

"General, don't say that. Everyone has to die eventually. We've left a brilliant mark on this Milky Way and haven't disgraced the Chinese Nation."

There are still two trillion Conqueror outside. Hu Yu transferred all of these Conqueror to the fourth dimension, allowing them to automatically return to the industrial base. He also emitted gravitational wave signals throughout the galaxy. One day, when Luo Zhigao returns to the normal timeline, he will definitely be able to receive and decipher this information, and use it to find the location of the industrial base.

The civilizations of the Star Ring Alliance have all safely merged into the civilizations on the defensive line. Now that the Fish Horse Star Civilization has destroyed humanity, they should not seek trouble with these civilizations anymore. Although all of this has nothing to do with humanity anymore, Hu Yu still hopes they can get through this safely and doesn't want them to fall victim to the Fish Horse Star Civilization.

These civilizations are unaware that humanity is in its final minutes of extinction. In their minds, Human Civilization is a wondrous one, always creating all sorts of miracles. This time, the Fish Horse Star Civilization is merely Great Star Region Advanced Civilization; even if humanity can't defeat it, escaping won't be a problem.

Faced with impending death, the people on the warship displayed the composure befitting advanced civilizations. They huddled together tightly, without tears or resentment, simply gazing at each other quietly, smiling as they awaited their demise. They knew that Hu Yu and everyone else had done their utmost, accepting the end of life with equanimity, leaving each other with the most beautiful eternity.

Hu Yu didn't want to give up, but what could he do now? Even the joint rescue fleet had perished, let alone his own fleet. He could only blame himself for being too hasty and not having prepared a proper escape route. If he hadn't been so eager to kill Li Shun, he might not have attracted the Fish Horse Star Civilization, or at least he wouldn't be in such a passive position.

It was also his own fault for underestimating the enemy. If he had let the Two-Dimensional Conqueror escape with the people from the beginning, perhaps they wouldn't be in this situation now. However, facing the pursuit of the Fish Horse Star Civilization, where is humanity's way out? Although Hu Yu had once guessed that the mastermind behind the Fish Horse Star Civilization was themselves, Hu Yu never expected that the main civilization of the Fish Horse Star Civilization would be so powerful. One against five, they were not at a disadvantage at all.
