The Dark Moon Civilization had over 800 trillion beings, which isn't a large number for an ancient civilization. If the Milky Way hadn't been under various threats, the Dark Moon Civilization would have had even more beings. In that case, with the five Great Star Region Civilization constantly expanding their territories and engaging in colonization, war might have even broken out.

Now the galaxy is threatened by the Andromeda Civilization, and these advanced civilizations have no choice but to go into hiding one by one. Their colonization activities have completely ceased. Although they are somewhat frustrated, they have survived the various cleanup campaigns.

Although the Dark Moon Civilization is hidden on the outskirts of a distant galaxy, it does not mean they have let their guard down. As a civilization that survived a catastrophe, the Dark Moon Civilization is far more vigilant than Hu Yu. Survival is the first priority of a civilization, and all activities must revolve around survival.

All planets of the Dark Moon Civilization are giant spaceships. In critical moments, all life forms of the Dark Moon Civilization can quickly enter the spaceship for protection. In addition, the Dark Moon Civilization's monitoring range covers an area of almost millions of light-years, so they can know in advance of any abnormal movements of the Andromeda Civilization.

Furthermore, the Dark Moon Civilization's base is filled with countless amounts of Virtual Matter. Due to the limited production of Virtual Matter, the Dark Moon Civilization has never used Virtual Matter to fight against the Zerg swarm or other wars. Instead, it has used all of the Virtual Matter for base defense. Although the production is low, it is enough to withstand the accumulation of the Dark Moon Civilization over billions of years.

It is no exaggeration to say that the amount of this Virtual Matter is no less than ten times the amount of matter in the Sun. Although this amount is already extremely terrifying, for a civilization as large as the Dark Moon Civilization, no amount of Virtual Matter would be enough. The larger the territory, the more defensive measures are needed. Although the Dark Moon Civilization does not occupy a lot of space, the size of its base is no less than that of the Fish Horse Star Civilization.

A space the size of a soap bubble slowly drifted out from the interior of the star occupied by the Crimson Flame Civilization. After reaching the fiery part of the star, the bubble slowly merged into the fourth dimension and drifted towards the distant Dark Moon Civilization.

The bubble's behavior went completely unnoticed by any civilization or reconnaissance equipment. The spatial fluctuations it caused were quickly masked by the nearby Crimson Flame Civilization fleet. Even without these Crimson Flame Civilization, discovering the bubble's existence would have been extremely difficult.

It can cause a slight spatial fluctuation in three-dimensional space, but in the fourth dimension, the fluctuation it causes no longer needs to be concealed by warships, because the fourth dimension is a turbulent ocean, and this bubble is as undetectable as a small water droplet.

At this time, the leader of the Dark Moon Civilization was still in the Alliance Space preparing for the attack on the Fish Horse Star Civilization. The base was completely managed by the deputy. The Dark Moon Civilization was completely unaware of the Fish Horse Star Civilization's actions. No one expected that the Fish Horse Star Civilization would dare to do such a thing at this time.

Moreover, apart from a few civilizations like the Yun San Civilization, the location of the Dark Moon Civilization's base was unknown to other civilizations. Since learning that the Fish Horse Star Civilization was Great Star Region Advanced Civilization, all five civilizations have relocated their bases.

The bubble moved rapidly towards the Dark Moon Civilization base in the fourth dimension. Before long, it reached the vicinity of the Dark Moon Civilization base. The Dark Moon Civilization blocked the passage from the fourth dimension into the base. The bubble lingered in the fourth dimension for a moment before entering the three-dimensional space.

The Dark Moon Civilization's alarm sounded swiftly; even such a tiny bubble was detected by Dark Moon Civilization sophisticated reconnaissance equipment.

At the same time, an urgent message traveled hundreds of thousands of light-years to reach the Alliance Space and was directly received by the leader of the Dark Moon Civilization.

The Dark Moon leader flapped his large wings, his expression grave. He had absolute trust in the highly intelligent monitoring system; there was no way such an alarm could have occurred. Moreover, the alarm originated from within the monitoring system itself, which was why the system directly transmitted the information to the leader.

There was nothing unusual about the three-dimensional space where the bubble was located. From the outside, no one would believe that this was the base of a Great Star Region Civilization. Suddenly, the bubble burst open, and the folded and compressed space inside exploded rapidly like a spring. The warships inside grew from small to large as if by magic.

Five trillion giant ships were neatly arranged in the air. As space exploded, the hidden Dark Moon Civilization was also squeezed out. In addition to two trillion warships, this huge base also contained tens of thousands of inhabited planets and countless industrial bases. It was these bases and populations that supported the Dark Moon Civilization's long-term war output.

Upon receiving the alarm, all life forms of the Dark Moon Civilization entered the planet's interior, shutting it down and concentrating them under the protection of the fleet. Without hesitation, the Fish Horse Star Civilization's warships directly crushed the Dark Moon Civilization's fleet, possessing an absolute numerical and technological advantage. The Dark Moon Civilization's base leader urgently contacted the leader in the Alliance Space, who then realized that the Dark Moon Fish Horse Star Civilization was heading towards their home base.

" The Yun San. The Fish Horse Star Civilization somehow found our main base, and now that it's under attack, I have no choice but to withdraw the fleet here and return to reinforce our base."

"This isn't just a matter for your civilization alone. We all share the same fate, and this place is no longer of much significance. Deploy 50 trillion warships to support the Dark Moon Civilization, and keep the remaining 30 trillion to guard the Alliance Space. The fleet at the central black hole cannot be moved."

"Agree."

"Agree."

"Agree."

" Demon Scorpion, what about you?"

"Since everyone agrees, my objection is useless; anyway, your Dark Moon Civilization will be responsible for the losses."

Soon, 50 trillion warships assembled and rushed towards the Dark Moon Civilization base. At this time, Hu Yu had also discovered through the monitoring system outside the river that the Dark Moon Civilization and the Fish Horse Star Civilization were engaged in a fierce war. Unfortunately, the number of Conqueror had not yet increased, and these Conqueror were going to attack the Fish Horse Star Civilization's home base. The current war was barely manageable for the five Great Star Region Civilization.

Seeing that none of the five Great Star Region Civilization had notified him, Hu Yu sighed inwardly. These civilizations were still unable to truly accept humanity. They would only consult with humanity when it involved matters concerning the entire galaxy. Now, the attack on the Dark Moon Civilization by the Fish Horse Star Civilization could be considered their own affair, and they simply left humanity aside.

Although the main reason for doing so was the small number of human fleets, which meant they couldn't help even if they were informed, and the situation was urgent and they didn't immediately think of humans, such choices in emergency situations often reveal their true attitude. They still maintained a distance from humans, not that they didn't trust them, but Hu Yu found this sense of distance hard to understand.
