"There's a way Gao Jianchuan's eyes lit up.

The powerful gravity even pulled the warships in the Fish Horse Star's defense perimeter out of their original positions, creating a large gap in the defense perimeter. The Slaughterer, carrying a super gravity bomb, also deformed and disintegrated due to the drastic changes in gravity inside, eventually turning into fragments of the battlefield. No matter how powerful a warship is, its internal structure is still vulnerable.

The Blazing Sun Battleship had been loitering nearby, dodging the intense energy sweeps. Now that they saw a gap in the defensive perimeter, all the warships disregarded the danger of exposure and rushed forward, launching a fierce attack simultaneously.

At this moment, the Fish Horse Star Civilization's warships were completely thrown into disarray. They never dreamed that the solid black hole containment sphere would be shaken by the primitive gravity bomb.

Of course, these gravity bombs were not ordinary gravity bombs, but super gravity bombs created with Galaxy-Level technology and a super-massive energy supply. However, even these super gravity bombs failed to truly destroy the giant sphere, but only caused it to loosen.

The Blazing Sun Battleship launched a frenzied attack, engaging in close-quarters combat. At this point, the warships of the Fish Horse Star Civilization were unable to maneuver in front of the Blazing Sun Battleship to block their attacks. Moreover, the Fish Horse Star Civilization civilization dared not attack indiscriminately. Interstellar warfare is often not about precision strikes, because both sides are moving at high speeds, and space attacks cannot turn like missiles. Therefore, once the approximate airspace of the target is determined, a large number of warships are used to launch a wide-area attack.

With the Blazing Sun Battleship in front and the Fish Horse Star Civilization warships behind, the Fish Horse Star Civilization could only watch helplessly as the Blazing Sun Battleship's attack extended to the Super Fortress. However, the Fish Horse Star warships on the flank launched an attack in time. They completely disregarded their comrades on the other side, and at this point, they could no longer care about them; the giant sphere was the top priority.

The shockwave caused by the gravity bomb had a limited range. Although the number of Blazing Sun Battleship was small, after passing through layers of obstacles, nearly five trillion warships still launched an attack. With so many attacks concentrated on one point, the surface of the giant sphere changed from ripples to raging waves.

The solid surface did not shatter into pieces with the attack; instead, it was more like punching a sponge. Gao Jianchuan was also a bit stunned, never expecting such a situation to occur. Every particle that made up the large sphere seemed to be firmly locked by the black hole's gravity. Even with the intervention of external forces, these particles could not escape the black hole's gravity, and could only cause them to vibrate slightly.

As the warships from the flanks of the Fish Horse Star Civilization continued to launch attacks, and the number of Blazing Sun Battleship gradually decreased, if this continued and they could not break through the Great Sphere, their operation would be a complete failure. At that time, they would not only have no fleet to use, but they might even be annihilated by the Fish Horse Star Civilization.

Gao Jianchuan had no choice but to order the Blazing Sun Battleship to continue advancing, leaving it no room to retreat. Spatial attacks are more powerful the closer they are. As the Blazing Sun Battleship went deeper into the area, the surrounding Fish Horse Star Blazing Sun Battleship had completely surrounded it, and the Blazing Sun Battleship had no chance of escaping.

Just as Gao Jianchuan was extremely anxious, a crack appeared on the surface of the large sphere as the waves surged. This crack immediately triggered a chain reaction, with the edges of the crack spreading continuously into the distance. Although Gao Jianchuan was far away and facing the crack, he suddenly felt a salty-sweet taste in his mouth.

The internal organs felt as if they were being crushed by a massive boulder. Fortunately, this feeling lasted for less than a second before the warship automatically adjusted its gravity system, restoring the internal gravity to normal.

Gao Jianchuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then looked at the command system. The system was completely blank, and there was no trace of the Blazing Sun Battleship. Looking at the Fish Horse Star Civilization, the red markers had also decreased by more than half, and the blank area was constantly swallowing up the Fish Horse Star warships marked in red.

Gao Jianchuan breathed a sigh of relief. The large ball had already developed a crack, and the crack was still widening. Now he was all alone, with only one Slaughterer left. Gao Jianchuan chuckled self-deprecatingly, found a comfortable position, and lay down. The intense work and immense pressure of the past few days had made Gao Jianchuan's nerves like a rubber band stretched to its limit, ready to snap at the slightest pressure.

At this point, success or failure was beyond his control. Getting out was impossible; the breach in the fortress blasted open by the fifth-dimensional space was now completely blocked by countless Fish Horse Star warships. If Gao Jianchuan saw the Mechanical Civilization warships outside, he would probably feel even more helpless. However, Gao Jianchuan had no intention of leaving at this moment.

Now that only one warship remains, the chances of the Fish Horse Star Civilization finding him have greatly decreased. Gao Jianchuan, however, feels relieved. More importantly, he has barely managed to complete his mission, and cracks have already appeared on the giant sphere.

Gao Jianchuan tried many times to establish a connection with Hu Yu, but all attempts failed. Although the fortress had a breach, the Fish Horse Star Civilization also had ways to block conventional communication methods, so messages could not be sent out. After trying for a long time, Gao Jianchuan simply handed over this simple but tedious task to the robot and went to sleep soundly.

At this time, the Fish Horse Star Civilization was in complete chaos. The appearance of the crack had completely disrupted the order of the Fish Horse Star Civilization. Just as everyone initially did not believe that the Super Fortress was so sturdy, the Fish Horse Star Civilization also did not believe that a sealing sphere even more sturdy than the fortress could have such a terrible crack.

"How is the situation?"

"Firstly, the rift will affect ten sectors, accounting for ten percent of the total area. Fortunately, we adopted a modular design, otherwise the entire containment sphere would have collapsed. The rift cannot be repaired in a short time. Affected by the rift, the relative strength of the fortress will be greatly reduced, and it may be destroyed by an attack from any early-stage civilization in a Large Star Region."

"Immediately mobilize the entire civilization to repair the rift."

"Your Majesty, the appearance of the rift has resulted in the loss of thousands of planets in the hidden zone, and nearly a trillion people have been torn to pieces by the black hole's gravity."

"Tell my people to temporarily set aside their grief and hatred, and to take action. For the future of civilization, we must unite from top to bottom, with one heart and one mind, to repair the rifts, or our end is near."

"Your Majesty, the people are fine. To prevent this from happening, we have been working on isolating planets from each other. Except for special personnel, direct travel between planets is not allowed, so the destruction of one planet will not have a significant impact on other planets."
