The Firefly Civilization's Rule Space had not yet been fully utilized. At this point, they could no longer care about formations. Whenever they had the chance, the Firefly warships would deploy their Rule Space in front of this steel dragon to block some of the spatial attacks. In front of the fleet, the firepower of both sides had become extremely dense.
The Fish Horse Star Civilization fleet and the Mechanical Civilization fleet had blocked the gap layer by layer. The Fish Horse Star fleet was in front, and the Mechanical Civilization fleet was on the flanks, launching a powerful attack on the Milky Way civilization fleet. In front of the steel dragon, the warships were exploding wildly as if they had been thrown into a crusher.
Space had lost its original form. Energy had accumulated to an extremely terrifying level in the space where the two sides were locked in combat. Suddenly, a black hole formed. As soon as it formed, it began to spread outwards at the speed of light. This was not a black hole in the true sense of the word, but rather the collapse of space itself.
In the past, causing a spatial collapse required the instantaneous annihilation of antimatter and matter celestial bodies, releasing a highly concentrated burst of energy. This was the first time Hu Yu had witnessed a spatial collapse caused by a war between warships, which gave him an idea of the extent of the investment made by both sides.
However, the spatial collapse will not affect the fortress in any way. In addition, the collapse site is at least several thousand astronomical units away from the breach, so it will not pose a threat to the breach in the short term.
It was initially thought that the collapse would continue to expand, but both sides launched attacks at any cost, releasing energy. The spatial collapse only lasted for a few dozen seconds before disappearing. Immediately afterward, another black hole formed and disappeared. The spatial black holes were like vortexes, disappearing and reappearing at any time.
Virtual Matter, antimatter, two-dimensional fragments, spatial distortion, dimensional attacks—everything was rendered useless in the face of this energy tide, which was like a raging flood. The energy here had undergone a qualitative change from a quantitative one, invisibly protecting the fortress of the Fish Horse Star Civilization.
Just then, the fortress moved again. It activated its conventional power engine, accelerated, and rushed toward the Reversed State protection layer. The Reversed State protection layer was not completely completed; it was like a piece of wood hollowed out by termites, with holes everywhere inside.
Originally, these voids were meant to be filled with the Fifth Reversed State to strengthen the structure, but the fortress's sudden entry into the fourth dimension disrupted Hu Yu's plan. Now, the main structure of the Reversed State protective layer is the Fourth Reversed State. Although its strength is also very high, Hu Yu doesn't believe it can stop the fortress's actions; it's only a matter of time before it's breached.
At the same time, the Fish Horse Star Civilization dispatched a portion of its warships to the front of the fortress to sabotage the Reversed State. The Fourth Reversed State was easily destroyed by these warships, like cutting tofu. Fortunately, even when destroyed, the Reversed State could still block the way. If the fortress wanted to advance, it had to intensify its attack and destroy the Reversed State further.
As the fortress moved, breaching the defenses became more difficult. The Fish Horse Star Civilization only needed a small number of warships to block the galactic civilization's attack, while the other warships focused all their efforts on destroying the Reversed State. The galactic civilization's fleet could only watch helplessly as the fruits of their centuries of hard work were gradually breached, unable to stop it. If they tried to stop it, an outbreak of war in the Reversed State would only accelerate the destruction of the Reversed State's protective layer.
"General Hu Yu, what should we do?"
"General, please make a decision as soon as possible."
"General, we have done our best."
"..."
"..."
One civilization after another, one message after another, were sent to Hu Yu. Although Hu Yu maintained a calm mind, even a skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice. The sudden appearance of 500 trillion warships had exceeded Hu Yu's expectations.
"Kid, how are you? Feeling like you've reached a dead end?" Daozi suddenly appeared.
"Old man, why aren't you guarding the Black Hole Consciousness? What are you doing here at a time like this? Are you here to laugh at us? Believe me or not, I'll pluck all your beards off!" Wen Zhonghua retorted irritably.
"What's the point of guarding? If you fail, my guarding is useless. If you succeed, there's no need for me to do this pointless work."
" Mr. Daozi, there is no other way at the moment. I am prepared to sacrifice the entire galaxy. This is our last chance," Hu Yu said. In the past, Hu Yu would never have dared to even think about destroying the entire galaxy, but now Hu Yu could no longer care about anything else.
"What?! Kid, what do you want to do?"
"Use the power of the entire river system to destroy the Super Fortress."
"You! Kid, you dare to dream of that? Go ahead, though. We can rebuild the jars and pots we break, but if you lose your life, you'll truly have nothing left. I still want to enjoy some more delicious food and wine."
"Given the rate of destruction the Fish Horse Star Civilization, the Reversed State can only hold out for two more years. Within two years, move all uninhabited planets in the galaxy here. I want to create countless black holes to counter the Fish Horse Star Civilization's fortress."
To achieve this goal, Hu Yu immediately ordered all warships of all civilizations except for those fleets of the major civilizations to remain on the battlefield and to travel to various corners of the Milky Way to transport celestial bodies.
In the starry sky, twinkling lights disappeared one by one. The disappearance of each light represented a star being taken into the fourth dimension by these Great Star Region Civilization warships. They were rushing towards the center of the galaxy, intending to use their meager mass to save the Milky Way.
Near the fortress, the war continued brutally. The Fish Horse Star Civilization fleet mobilized 100 trillion ships to attack the Snow Tribe's J-99 fleet. The J-99 warships fought against five ships at once and were not at a disadvantage at all, which surprised Hu Yu. It seems that the Snow Tribe is still the Snow Tribe after all. Even if they have declined, they are not something that the Doomsday Civilization and the Knight Civilization can easily crush.
In this war between Galactic-Level Civilization, other civilizations no longer have the right to intervene. The battlefield has expanded to a radius of ten light-years. Within this ten-light-year range, the three-dimensional space fluctuates and trembles. Encirclement, sniping, and fierce attacks are taking place, and the two sides are locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle. In a war of this magnitude, the warships of Great Star Region Civilization would probably not survive for more than a minute on the battlefield.
Dimensions can be manipulated at will, and space can be easily torn apart like a piece of paper. Although the warships of the Great Star Region Civilization can also manipulate dimensions, the range of manipulation is generally much smaller than the warship itself. However, these Galaxy-Level warships are different. They can easily raise and lower dimensions over areas of tens of thousands of kilometers or even hundreds of thousands or millions of kilometers. On the battlefield, Hu Yu even saw the existence of two dimensions.
