Chapters 551–575 Vol. 6 Read

Ch. 551Technology Upgrade

Humanity used the Mirror Sub-Universe to upgrade the Conqueror fleet with new fourth-dimensional combat techniques while rebuilding after severe losses. The fleet had reached the level of a Great Star Region Intermediate Civilization, but it still lacked the energy and spatial control of the advanced civilizations as the Yun San Civilization prepared to confront the Fish Horse Star Civilization.

  • The leader of the Yun San Civilization ordered Demon Scorpion to confirm the Fish Horse Star Civilization's real main base and told everyone to prepare for a decisive fight.
  • Hu Yu returned to the base and found that the Conquerors had been almost wiped out, while humanity's two bases produced 600 million ships a year with help from the Superintelligent Robots.

  • Hu Yu revealed that the Demon Scorpion Civilization had located the Fish Horse Star Civilization’s lair in Boötes and that humanity planned to attack once scouting confirmed the information.
  • Hu Yu and the academicians warned that the Fish Horse Star Civilization might be difficult to eliminate and agreed it was time to confront its suspected conspiracy.

Ch. 553A Unified Intention

Hu Yu searched the Boötes galaxy for the Fish Horse Star Civilization’s hidden base while the Milky Way’s civilizations expanded their fleets and prepared for war. The Star Ring Alliance leaders pledged their forces to the coming campaign, and Wen Zhonghua began planning against an estimated two to three quadrillion enemy warships.

  • Hu Yu sent miniature spacecraft to investigate Boötes, but years of searching through ordinary and fourth-dimensional space revealed no trace of the Fish Horse Star Civilization’s base.
  • The Fish Horse Star Civilization and the Milky Way’s major civilizations expanded their fleets, while occasional attacks near the Mirror Sub-Universe entrance left the central black hole in a tense standoff.
  • Hu Yu and humanity helped Star Ring Alliance civilizations advance technologically, and those civilizations worked to build fleets against their shared enemy.

As the Star Ring Alliance and the five Great Star Regions prepared to attack the Fish Horse Star Civilization, Zu visited Hu Yu and offered powerful aid. Zu left behind a higher-dimensional energy sphere and warned that he would disappear until the battle was won, while Hu Yu remained uncertain about Zu’s origins.

  • Hu Yu returned home to Xiao Xiao after a day of war preparations, and a sphere of light appeared in their room.
  • Zu confirmed that he supported the attack on the Fish Horse Star Civilization but warned Hu Yu not to underestimate the enemy.
  • Zu explained that the massive passage project had been unnecessary, and Hu Yu admitted that the humans had miscalculated.
  • Zu revealed that he had left an energy sphere at the base, containing enough power to build a fleet of several quadrillion ships.
  • Zu explained that the sphere contained chaotic higher dimensions and said his opponent was already searching for him, so he would vanish until the Fish Horse Star Civilization was defeated.
  • After Zu disappeared, Hu Yu considered the mystery of Zu’s nature and wondered whether he came from the Doomsday Civilization or the Knight Civilization.

Ch. 555Super Fortress

Humanity used the higher-dimensional sphere to build up its fleet while the Fish Horse Star Civilization prepared a secret attack from its hidden Super Fortress. The Fish Horse Star Civilization ordered an assault on the Dark Moon Civilization and planned to strike the Mirror Universe entrance at the same time.

  • Superintelligent Robots produced Conquerors using energy from the sphere, giving Hu Yu greater confidence against the Fish Horse Star Civilization.
  • The chapter revealed that the Crimson Flame Civilization was made of biological puppets monitoring Boötes for the Fish Horse Star Civilization.

Ch. 556Dark Moon Crisis

The Fish Horse Star Civilization launched a surprise attack on the Dark Moon Civilization’s hidden home base, forcing the Dark Moon leader to abandon Alliance Space and call for reinforcements. As the five Great Star Region Civilizations mobilized, Hu Yu watched from outside the galaxy and saw that they still kept humanity at a distance.

  • A concealed bubble carrying Fish Horse Star Civilization warships traveled through the fourth dimension toward the Dark Moon Civilization’s base.
  • The Dark Moon Civilization’s alarms detected the bubble, and its leader received an emergency message while he was in Alliance Space.
  • The bubble burst, revealing fifty quadrillion Fish Horse Star Civilization warships that forced the Dark Moon base into the open and attacked its fleet.
  • The Dark Moon leader told Yun San that he had to withdraw his fleet to defend the base, and the other civilizations agreed to send fifty quadrillion warships to support him.
  • Hu Yu detected the battle but received no message from the five Great Star Region Civilizations, which left humanity out of their emergency response.

Ch. 557Dark Moon War

The Fish Horse Star Civilization pushed its fleet toward the Dark Moon Civilization’s planet ships, using the Space Millstone to clear Virtual Matter weapons from its path. The Dark Moon commander ordered a direct ramming attack as Virtual Matter failed to stop the advance.

  • Hu Yu sent two trillion two-dimensional Conquerors into hiding in space, ready to ambush Fish Horse Star warships.
  • A Fish Horse Star commander ordered the First and Second Fleets to activate the Space Millstone, while the Fourth and Fifth Fleets targeted the Dark Moon Civilization’s planet ships.

  • The Dark Moon commander ordered the first echelon to ram the Fish Horse Star fleet directly.

Ch. 558Closing In

The Dark Moon Civilization sacrificed five trillion warships to destroy eight trillion Fish Horse Star Civilization warships, buying less than a day for its retreating planetary ships. As the Fish Horse Star fleet neared the final defenses, a joint fleet of five Great Star Region Civilizations arrived with a new fourth-dimensional attack formation.

  • The Dark Moon Civilization's first echelon charged the Fish Horse Star fleet and used glancing collisions and self-destructions to trigger chain wrecks, destroying eight trillion Fish Horse Star warships.

  • The allied leaders learned that the Fish Horse Star fleet had appeared near the sub-universe, but their preparations had left Alliance Space empty and the entrances clear.

Ch. 560The Base Trapped

Hu Yu tried to protect the civilizations inside the Mirror Sub-Universe while the Fish Horse Star Civilization advanced, but its fleet found a way to open the sub-universe to the fourth dimension. The new influx of space and energy restored the sub-universe and enabled warp travel, leaving Hu Yu facing an enemy whose capabilities had just expanded.

  • Leader Tian Feng and Leader Demon Scorpion discussed the threat to their bases and told Hu Yu to protect the civilizations in the sub-universe.

Ch. 561Steady Advance

Hu Yu and the allied civilizations struggled to stop the Fish Horse Star Civilization from advancing through the sub-universe, while searches for its hidden home base found nothing. At the Dark Moon base, the expanding spatial collapse weakened the Fish Horse Star fleet enough for the Dark Moon Civilization to escape into the fourth dimension.

  • Hu Yu realized the Fish Horse Star Civilization’s expanding space would catch the relocating bases within decades, leaving humanity short of time rather than energy.
  • Hu Yu and his companions discussed attacking the Fish Horse Star home base, but the Yun San Civilization and others could not risk deploying their remaining fleets.
  • Academician Zeng and the other researchers confirmed that the Fish Horse fleet had come from Boötes, but its space-folding technology made its base difficult to locate.
  • At the Dark Moon base, the spatial void expanded and swept Fish Horse Star warships away, allowing the allied fleets to hold them back.
  • The Dark Moon Civilization’s fleet broke through the weakened encirclement and escaped into the fourth dimension.

Ch. 562Justice League

The Justice League, secretly formed by Li Shun’s brain-controlled allies and managed by Guan Sengping, gathered a vast fleet to block the Dark Moon Civilization’s escape into the fourth dimension. The chapter explained how the League grew by offering technology to smaller civilizations and ended with its enormous force poised to confront the Dark Moon fleet.

  • Guan Sengping organized Li Shun’s loyal puppet civilizations into the Justice League while Li Shun remained in hiding.
  • The Justice League recruited a hundred thousand Small Star Sector Civilizations by promising shared technology and greater influence, while pressuring nonmembers to leave the inner galaxy.

  • The Justice League assembled a fleet of ten million billion warships, including more than ten trillion ships from Great Star Region Civilizations and ten antimatter stars.
  • As the Dark Moon Civilization’s fleet prepared to enter the fourth dimension, the Justice League’s super fleet appeared and blocked its route.

Ch. 563Profiting from Another's Misfortune

The Justice League’s antimatter fleet helped push the Dark Moon Civilization out of the fourth dimension, then demanded technology from the Great Star Region Civilizations and exposed that it had discovered the Fish Horse Star Civilization’s hidden base. The Yun San Civilization and the others debated whether to comply, while the Fish Horse Star Civilization’s plans remained a threat.

  • The Justice League’s antimatter attacks weakened the Dark Moon Civilization’s fleet until it retreated to the three-dimensional universe, and the Fish Horse Star Civilization and its opponents paused their fighting.

  • The Yun San Civilization and the other leaders discussed the Justice League’s growing influence and whether to provide it with technology.
  • The Demon Scorpion leader rejected the idea of joining forces with the Fish Horse Star Civilization to attack Li Shun, and the leaders remained divided over what to do.

Ch. 564Utterly Arrogant

Guan Sengping brought the Justice League fleet to the Mirror Sub-Universe and demanded technology from the civilizations there, threatening to detonate matter and antimatter stars to expand the entrance. Hu Yu and the others prepared to stall him while seeking a way out, but Academician Zeng warned that Guan Sengping’s threat could help the Fish Horse Star Civilization widen the entrance.

  • Guan Sengping surrounded the Fish Horse Star fleet with the Justice League and warned Hu Yu that detonating the controlled stars could expand the Mirror Sub-Universe entrance.
  • Hu Yu halted his approaching two-dimensional warships after Guan Sengping threatened to trigger a spatial collapse.
  • Guan Sengping demanded that the civilizations provide lists of technologies within three days in exchange for Justice League assistance.
  • Hu Yu learned that the Justice League had made the same demand of the Dark Moon Civilization, and he and the other civilizations began compiling technology lists to stall Guan Sengping.
  • Academician Zeng told Hu Yu that exploding the stars could indeed widen the entrance and accelerate the flow of energy and space into the Secondary Universe.

Ch. 565A Method

As the Justice League’s overwhelming fleet threatened the Mirror Sub-Universe forces, Academician Zeng proposed isolating the region of space and reducing it to two dimensions. Hu Yu arranged for Number One’s fleet to help, while the commanders planned to obtain more two-dimensional fragments by offering Guan Sengping an enticing technology list; the chapter left the plan awaiting Guan Sengping’s response.

  • Academician Zeng ruled out several attacks and proposed cutting off the region from surrounding space, sealing the fourth dimension, and destroying the trapped fleets with two-dimensional fragments.

  • The Aquila Fleet blocked Fish Horse Star ships in the fourth dimension from restoring space, and Du Ka lost nearly fifty trillion warships.
  • Du Ka blamed Guan Sengping and attacked the Justice League, while Guan Sengping cursed Du Ka for ruining their chance to defeat the Dark Moon Civilization.

Ch. 569The situation changes

Hu Yu’s forces destroyed the Fish Horse Star Civilization’s fleet with a two-dimensional attack, forcing the alliance and other civilizations to flee, while the Fish Horse Star Civilization appointed Ci Ma to replace Du Ka. Hu Yu then learned that Number One and the others had wiped out the Justice League’s civilizations, gave them access to more technology, and assigned them to find Li Shun.
