In fact, these civilizations don't need to stop the Fish Horse Star Civilization, because apart from the part of the Fish Horse Star Civilization's warships that are still fighting the Snow Tribe, all the other warships of the Yuma Star civilization have been mobilized to the front to attack the Reversed State protection layer with all their might, while the task of blocking the rear has been left to the Mechanical Civilization.
Although the Mechanical Civilization fleet was large in number, it was completely powerless to fight back against the attacks of several established Great Star Region Advanced Civilization and the newly emerging Xuan Star Civilization. The Fish Horse Star Civilization could no longer afford to pay attention to the Mechanical Civilization fleet. Rows of energy pillars shot out from behind the fortress, bringing both the Mechanical Civilization fleet and the galactic civilization fleet into its attack range.
The black hole cluster behind was only part of the problem. Seeing the Fish Horse Star Civilization's madness, Hu Yu ordered the galactic fleet to retreat in order to minimize losses, focusing on the four directions of the fortress: up, down, left, and right. The black hole cluster here had already merged into the Reversed State protection layer and was heading towards the fortress to intercept it.
The Fish Horse Star Civilization probably never expected that Hu Yu would use the power of the entire galaxy to deal with them, because this place is, after all, their home. Now, he's just throwing it away like that; his courage is truly admirable.
Suddenly, countless black holes appeared above, below, to the left, right, and in front of the fortress. These black holes had already calculated their movement speed. Although the fortress had Space Maze, it could only stop small-mass warships. Faced with the powerful gravity between the black holes, the Space Maze was useless.
In just a few hours, countless holes appeared on the fortress. This was caused by the black holes absorbing the fortress's matter when they merged into it. If the fortress hadn't been strong enough, it would have collapsed immediately after so many black holes merged into it.
However, the fortress was already on the verge of collapse. The entire fortress had become like a honeycomb, riddled with countless holes.
"Chief, the fortress is more than forty percent damaged."
"Don't panic. These black holes are just providing us with nutrients and energy. As long as the fleet is intact, we're guaranteed victory. Weren't we just worried about not having enough energy? Now the energy is here. The fleet is returning to base, manipulating space to guide these black holes to merge into our black hole from the designated location."
"The fleet that fought against the Snow Tribe has returned and will be able to enter the fortress soon. I have already moved the Space Maze equipment inside the fortress, and I think they will be storming in soon."
"Well done. We have ample energy now. Once they enter the fortress, we'll activate all the internal energy pillars and unleash a full-power, all-around, three-dimensional sweep. I'll take down as many fleets as they have. The fleet ahead, continue clearing the way."
"Chief, won't the fortress being in such a dilapidated state affect our plans?"
"There will be some impact, but we have no way out. Success or failure hinges on this. I have just received a report from the scientists involved in consciousness research. Although the fortress is severely damaged, our success rate is still over 80%. Order the fleet to guide these black holes and avoid damaging the inner structure."
"Rest assured, leader, guiding the black holes forward is a piece of cake. Quite a few black holes have already been swallowed up, and our energy is more than abundant, almost excessive."
The collision of two black holes would normally be a spectacular sight, but inside the fortress, smaller black holes were silently merging into the supermassive black hole under the interference of the Fish Horse Star Civilization. If all these black holes were allowed to merge into the Fish Horse Star Civilization's black hole, the Fish Horse Star Civilization would not be able to withstand it. Therefore, the Fish Horse Star Civilization frantically extracted energy from the black hole and emitted it outwards.
At the same time, the fourth dimension of the fortress finally opened, and endless matter shot out like fireworks, forming a torrent of matter that was billions of kilometers long. If this torrent of matter had continued for a longer period of time, it might have reached several light-years, tens of light-years, or even more distant places.
"All warships, prepare for action." Hu Yu's eyes widened, turning bloodshot.
The river fleet has suffered heavy losses in this period, with a third of its warships reduced to fragments. Even so, all the civilizations still fearlessly charged towards the fortress riddled with holes. The fortress had removed its external Space Maze, revealing countless holes of all sizes, through which the warships flew into the interior of the fortress.
Commander Ci Ma had already placed the Space Maze inside the fortress. If the warships still couldn't find a way out after entering the fortress, they would just wander around aimlessly like headless flies. Hu Yu ordered all the warships to concentrate near the various openings and not to go any deeper.
" Firefly Leader, please lay the tunnels. Bi Cha, stabilize the space. All other civilizations, act as needed."
The Firefly Civilization had not yet fully utilized the Rule Space, so the fleet launched another rule -Rule Space. For each Rule Space launched, a corresponding Xuan Star Civilization warship rushed in, using Space Solidification to reinforce the space and prevent the Space Maze from penetrating deeper.
Braving the energy pillars of the Fish Horse Star Civilization, one warship was destroyed, and another immediately took its place. The spatial passage slowly extended into the fortress. Part of the Fish Horse Star's main fleet was still dealing with the constantly arriving black holes, while another part was clearing a path ahead. For the time being, they were unable to effectively stop these invading warships.
The Mechanical Civilization fleet's resistance was utterly ineffective against these already crazed civilizations. The Conqueror charged ahead, launching fragments of two-dimensional space, instantly turning the labyrinthine space into two dimensions. Once these spaces recovered, they became normal spaces. At the same time, the Rule Space arrived, and the Space Solidification arrived. Everyone cooperated in an orderly manner, advancing hundreds and thousands of kilometers forward.
"General Hu Yu, the fortress is moving too fast. Our attack speed is still a bit slow. I'm afraid they'll reach the galactic black hole before we even destroy the fortress," Bi Cha warned. The Xuan Star Civilization has developed very rapidly in recent years, and its strength is no less than that of several Great Star Region Advanced Civilization, and may even be stronger. In particular, the Xuan Star Civilization's Space Solidification and Space Barrier are a perfect combination of offense and defense. If it weren't for the extraordinary civilization like the Fish Horse Star Civilization, other civilizations would have been wiped out by the Xuan Star Civilization long ago.
"Indeed, I've just thought about it carefully. The Space Maze equipment must be on the outer layers of the fortress. Only by destroying this equipment can we successfully reach the interior of the fortress and disrupt the Fish Horse Star Civilization's operations. Firefly leader, except for continuing to lay the passages on the left and right sides, all other warships should retreat and start from the edge, searching for the maze equipment while destroying the energy pillar emitters."
