The Insect Emperor has been in the fourth dimension of the Matter River for countless years. The clash with the Galactic Consciousness more than a thousand years ago benefited it greatly. However, although the Galactic Consciousness only has instincts left, it is still incredibly powerful. The Insect Emperor stripped the Galactic Consciousness of a portion of its Consciousness Field Energy and used it for its own evolutionary path.

This sudden attack enraged the Insect Emperor, who immediately mobilized his elite insect Insect Emperor to counterattack. Ignoring the counterattack, the fleet continued its fierce attack on the Insect Emperor. The fleet's attack power was extremely strong, and one of the Insect Emperor's giant legs was directly cleaved in two. This time, the Insect Emperor was completely furious.

Soon, the entire fleet was destroyed, but the Insect Emperor's anger did not subside. Its dozen or so giant eyes angrily scanned the surrounding airspace. Suddenly, it discovered the four-dimensional passage. However, this passage was far too small for its enormous body. The Insect Emperor's shell cracked open, and a miniature version of the Insect Emperor crawled out. This miniature Insect Emperor immediately headed straight for the four-dimensional passage.

The Insect Emperor's body was merely a vessel to it; even if the body were completely destroyed, the Insect Emperor would not be killed. However, the Insect Emperor could not simply discard this body. In order to condense this body, the Insect Emperor consumed a great deal of energy, much like the relationship between the Galactic Consciousness and the Daozi. However, the Galactic Consciousness was always in a state of severe injury, so the Daozi's strength was far inferior to that of the Insect Emperor's body.

The Insect Emperor quickly arrived inside the Insect Emperor through the fourth dimension. At this time, Hu Yu's holographic image was still on the planet, directing the mechanical police to search for surviving humans, and he was completely unaware of the Insect Emperor's arrival.

Bang! Although the Insect Emperor was a miniature version, it was still incredibly strong. Planets were still too fragile for it. The Insect Emperor, which had just emerged from the ground, also noticed Hu Yu's holographic image. However, it did not attack. Instead, it took off and headed towards Hu Yu's true location.

The Expeller and the Blazing Sun Battleship opened fire instantly, their dense firepower covering the surrounding airspace without any blind spots. The Insect Emperor's actions were forcibly stopped. Hu Yu was still unaware that this insect, less than a thousand meters long, was the Insect Emperor. The Insect Emperor was tens of thousands of light-years away, and even if an earth-shattering battle broke out here, it wouldn't attract the Insect Emperor.

The Insect Emperor attacked several times without success and could only hold out at a distance. Hu Yu was puzzled that the indestructible spatial attack had failed to kill the Insect Emperor today. The strength of the Expeller was no less than that of any other insect except the Insect Emperor. Even with the assistance of the Blazing Sun Battleship, it was still unable to kill this small insect.

This insect's control over the surrounding space was unbelievably strong. Any attack that reached it would mysteriously deflect and bypass it. Hu Yu tried increasing the attack power and reducing the attack area, but still to no avail.

Suddenly, a familiar feeling washed over him. It was a consciousness attack. Hu Yu lost consciousness after those four words appeared in his mind. The Insect Emperor paused for a moment, seemingly confirming the target of the attack before releasing its death. Then, the Insect Emperor Insect Emperor pounced on the planet, flew around it at high speed, and then entered the fourth dimension, returning to the large shell of the Matter River.

The Expeller possess an advanced consciousness attack defense system, which has been activated since entering the Insect Zone. Consciousness attacks are one of the insects' main attack methods, especially some high-level insects are very good at them. Although Hu Yu went deep into the territory alone, Hu Yu knew his responsibility and that he did not come here on a whim.

The population rescued by the Robocop was just over one million. They escaped the calamity by staying away from the battlefield. Strangely, the people on the planet were resurrected a few seconds after they died, something the Insect Emperor had not anticipated. At this time, Hu Yu could no longer detect the existence of the Consciousness Field from outside the Expeller.

The Expeller's ability to defend against Consciousness Field attacks means it can also shield itself from some Consciousness Field detection. However, even inside the Expeller, Hu Yu's Consciousness Field was extremely weak. All the fleets suddenly froze in the starry sky, losing their commander's orders. The computers were running at high speed, searching for a course of action.

Soon, the Blazing Sun Battleship entered return mode. Their main control was not with Hu Yu, but with Hong Lie. Hu Yu only had temporary control. Now that Hu Yu had lost consciousness and there were no enemy ships around, they automatically relinquished Hu Yu's control and headed back towards their commander.

The Expeller remained stationary. If Hu Yu's consciousness were to truly dissipate, the Expeller might also enter return mode. However, the Expeller containing Hu Yu detected Hu Yu's faint Consciousness Field. The Superintelligent Robot controlling the Expeller had fallen into a logical trap. Hu Yu's state was unexpected; he was neither injured nor dead, yet he was unable to be commanded.

This is the weakness of Superintelligent Robot. They have self-awareness and a certain degree of autonomy, but it is precisely this autonomy that has left them at a loss. If they were computers without consciousness, they could simply set specific instructions based on the situation. The bewildered Superintelligent Robot could only send a message to Gao Jianchuan, who was closest to them, requesting new instructions.

Just as the Expeller ' Superintelligent Robot were awaiting instructions, countless mechanical entities suddenly appeared in the fourth dimension. The Expeller detected their presence and immediately launched a fierce attack. The mechanical entities were quickly reduced to scrap metal in large swathes, but more mechanical entities continued to fly over from afar.

After the Blazing Sun Battleship left, the Expeller could only spare a portion of their forces to maintain vigilance in the fourth dimension. If it weren't for the high level of intelligence of the Superintelligent Robot, the Expeller would have already been breached from the fourth dimension. With the number of mechanical beings increasing, the Superintelligent Robot carrying Hu Yu had no choice but to leave.

No matter how fast you run in three-dimensional space, it's not as fast as in the fourth dimension. However, the fourth dimension is filled with an endless army of mechanical beings. The Superintelligent Robot assessed the situation and concluded that the mechanical beings' attack power was absolutely insufficient to harm the Expeller. Therefore, all the Expeller entered the fourth dimension to escort Hu Yu away.

As soon as Hu Yu's Expeller appeared in the fourth dimension, all the mechanical beings rushed over like madmen. Countless mechanical beings enveloped the Expeller layer upon layer. Although the mechanical beings had little offensive power, they had an innate familiarity with machines.

They initiated information sharing, and even as the mechanical bodies were constantly destroyed, this information remained intact in the minds of the surviving mechanical bodies. Their purpose seemed quite clear: the Expeller was not a one-piece injection molded machine. Soon, the mechanical bodies found a way to open the warship's hatch. The warship's hatch was opened, and the mechanical bodies rushed inside.
