Just then, the Slaughterer once again acted on its own in a bizarre manner. It perfectly avoided all attacks and appeared in another area of the airspace. Moreover, it took over Gao Jianchuan's command and continued to control the fleet to evade the cleanup operation of the Fish Horse Star Civilization fleet.

"First Commander, attack successful, but the target's flagship has disappeared."

What happened?

"We don't know yet. There are many possibilities for the target being inside Galaxy-Level, but we have confirmed that the target shows no signs of having any Consciousness Field."

"Continue the search. Not a single enemy ship can be left alive; the safety of our entire civilization is at stake."

"Understood. The inhabited planet has entered the safe zone. Scientists are developing a cleanup strategy, and we believe results will be available soon."

Inside the Slaughterer, a robot approached, picked up the unconscious Gao Jianchuan, and placed him on a table. Contrary to the Fish Horse Star Civilization's assumption that Gao Jianchuan's Consciousness Field had dissipated, he had merely fallen into a coma due to Consciousness Field attack. After the robot's treatment, Gao Jianchuan slowly woke up.

" General Gao, you're awake," the robot announced.

Gao Jianchuan was no stranger to the robots inside the warship. Nowadays, if you don't look at their appearance, they are no different from civilized beings in terms of communication. Therefore, the appearance of robots is strictly controlled. Unless there are special circumstances, robots must have obvious machine markings.

However intelligent robots may be, they are still machines. They have no human emotions or independent consciousness, whether they are human robots or Snow Tribe robots. Hu Yu once asked Zu if they had created any conscious robots back then. Zu clearly told Hu Yu that they had not. Currently, apart from the Mechanical Civilization, no other conscious machine has appeared in the entire galaxy. And the Mechanical Civilization does not belong to this universe.

"What just happened?" Gao Jianchuan asked the robot.

" General Gao, you just suffered a strong shock to your Consciousness Field, but the warship activated its defense system in time, otherwise you would have lost consciousness by now."

"I see. It was my oversight. The Fish Horse Star Civilization did indeed intentionally attack weapons."

" General Gao, according to the emergency response mechanism, I have assumed command of the fleet. Please confirm whether you wish to relinquish command?"

"Not for now. Our current action is to evade the pursuit of the Fish Horse Star Civilization Fish Horse Star Civilization. I believe they will soon have a comprehensive cleanup plan. I need to think about how to create an opening."

"Yes, I will continue to command the fleet in your stead, but command can be returned to you at any time."

Gao Jianchuan rubbed his forehead and stood by the porthole. Through the porthole, he could see the huge sphere created by the Fish Horse Star Civilization. Illuminated by the light of the surrounding stars, the sphere was magnificent. Its diameter was at least 500 million kilometers, which was almost twice the distance from the Sun to Mars, and could encompass the entire orbit of Mars.

The sheer size of this area makes it clear that even with Fish Horse Star Civilization civilization's defenses would have weaknesses. However, their energy spheres are flawless, making it impossible for warships to approach stealthily. How to break through the Fish Horse Star Civilization's defenses and effectively unleash an attack on this massive sphere has become a serious problem for Gao Jianchuan. It's obvious that the sphere's defenses are no weaker than Super Fortress; on the contrary, they should be much stronger.

If the Blazing Sun Battleship couldn't breach the Super Fortress, they certainly couldn't breach this giant sphere either. The Slaughterer only number one hundred, and even with the Blazing Sun Battleship, breaking through the defenses of the Fish Horse Star Civilization civilization would be extremely difficult.

Gao Jianchuan began to study the Slaughterer. Since taking over the Slaughterer, Gao Jianchuan did not fully understand the performance of this warship. He only gave the warship combat orders, and left the execution to the warship's intelligent system. Now that the combat objectives could not be achieved, Gao Jianchuan had a little time to study this Galaxy-Level warship.

Sure enough, after carefully reviewing the hundreds of thousands of words of information about the warships, Gao Jianchuan found a technology that could break through the defense perimeter of the Fish Horse Star Civilization. This technology was originally an escape skill of the Slaughterer, which used gravity to fold space, shorten the distance in distant space, and then release gravity to restore space. The warship was carried to the distance by the restored space like a slingshot.

This technology isn't particularly advanced; many Small Star Sector Civilization can bend space with gravity, but the Slaughterer have mastered it. With this technology, the Slaughterer can operate outside the energy defense perimeter of the Fish Horse Star Civilization civilization's fleet without breaking through it. By the time the Fish Horse Star Civilization fleet reacts, the Slaughterer are already inside the defense perimeter.

However, that large sphere was still a problem. After examining the various technological systems of the Slaughterer and confirming that its attack power could not be broken through, Gao Jianchuan fell into deep thought.

A few minutes later, Gao Jianchuan realized something. The sturdiness of the giant sphere and the entire fortress was controlled by the gravity of the black hole. To break through the giant sphere now, using a powerful spatial attack would be like throwing an egg against a rock. He had to choose the right way to break through.

Thinking of this, Gao Jianchuan slapped himself. Habitual thinking can be deadly. Fortunately, he realized it now. Gravity bombs are something that almost all civilizations in Small Star Region and above have abandoned. In the face of powerful spatial attacks, gravity bombs are like children's firecrackers. But now Gao Jianchuan is going to pick up this outdated thing again.

The Slaughterer was fully equipped, and soon 99 enormous gravity bombs were manufactured. The Slaughterer had been emptied out to make these behemoths. These things were too big to be deployed, but Gao Jianchuan did not plan to deploy them. They, along with the 99 Slaughterer, bypassed the various sweeping Fish Horse Star warships and quietly maneuvered towards the center.

The Blazing Sun Battleship followed closely behind, launching an attack on the giant sphere the instant the gravity bomb exploded. Although the gravity of the gravity bomb did not reach the level of a black hole, the surface of the giant sphere would definitely loosen during the gravitational confrontation, which would be the best time to attack.

Using escape technology, the Slaughterer successfully broke through the energy defense circle of the Fish Horse Star Civilization and entered the core area. Just as the Fish Horse Star Civilization civilization's warships turned around to attack the Slaughterer, the Slaughterer had already reached the edge of the sphere. With a violent gravitational shock, ripples appeared on the surface of the originally indestructible sphere.
