In the year 2050 AD, the sun is affected by an unknown influence, and a helium flash is imminent!
Is Earth in danger?
It doesn't matter, I'll make a move!
The Trisolaran s...
The fourth Supreme Meeting of the Neutral Faction.
The participants in the meeting were some of the most powerful level-eight civilizations within the neutral faction.
They have all come into contact with some aspects of Dimension Technology to varying degrees.
An ambiguous silence fell over the proposal put forward by the Tenth Reich on the wide-area tachyon communication channel.
Declaring war on the pastoral faction? That's not a wise decision...
Yes, based on current intelligence, it seems the Rural Faction is concealing most of its strength for reasons unknown. Rashly declaring war on them might drag the neutral faction into annihilation.
[Bullshit! Did you see how the Pastoral Faction treated neutral civilizations during the previous Laniakea Supercluster War? Declare war! War is a must! If this continues, the neutral civilizations will eventually be devoured by the Pastoral Faction and the Cleaners!]
[You ask about their purpose... What other purpose could the pastoral faction have? Isn't it just to solve the problem of the "cleaner civilization"?]
No, no, no, the Pastoral Faction was active in the universe long before the rise of the Cleaners civilization. In other words, they've been hiding their strength since then, and I suspect...
"Gentlemen, we've strayed from the topic. We're now discussing how to deal with this crazy move by the 'Pastoral Faction.'" The Tenth Empire interrupted the increasingly off-topic conversation and steered it back on track. "Before that, I'll show you some information. The information concerns a new member of the Silicon-Based Alliance."
Once the information about human civilization was released, the tachyon communication channel fell silent once again.
The Tenth Empire, this joke isn't funny...
How is this possible?! Has human civilization already mastered the technology of dimensional ascension?!
[In less than fifty years, they've acquired the ability to single-handedly eliminate four-dimensional beings? This, this…]
This is even better than everyone here!
The high-ranking members of the Tenth Empire silently added in their minds.
Unable to master dimensional ascension technology, the neutral faction's high-end combat power is significantly weaker than that of the Cleaners and the Pastoral Faction.
On the surface, the Neutral Faction possesses the second-highest combat power in the universe, second only to the Cleaners and the Pastoral Faction, but in reality...
There is a huge gap between the third place and the top two.
With this in mind, the Tenth Empire put forward a proposal that no one could refuse.
On behalf of human civilization, I can make this promise to you.
If the neutral faction chooses to participate in the war, human civilization can share all research data on four-dimensional cavitation.
[It contains the secrets of dimensional advancement technology.]
[...]
Perhaps it was because the actions of the Pastoralists and Cleaners in the Laniakea Supercluster had given the Neutralists a sense of crisis.
Perhaps it is because the undisguised troop movements of the pastoral faction have brought unprecedented shock and concern to the neutral faction.
Or perhaps it's because human civilization has given us so much...
In conclusion, due to the combined effect of various factors, the Fourth Neutral Faction Supreme Conference was the shortest Supreme Conference to date.
The Tenth Empire's proposal was passed unanimously.
then……
[Immediately issue a war mobilization order. Target: Boötes Void!]
The already somewhat noisy universe began to boil again.
Countless intense spacetime fluctuations emanated from every galaxy.
The neutral faction is divided into many factions, with countless "losers" and "fence-sitters," so the recruitment notice issued by the neutral faction has not been very effective.
However, despite its vast civilization base, a large number of pro-war civilizations still joined the war under the lure of advanced technology.
The participating civilizations varied greatly in strength, ranging from level six to level eight. A large number of level six and level seven civilizations hitched a ride on the coattails of level eight civilizations and headed together to the Boötes Void.
It was a grand and impressive event.
It even surpasses the pastoral civilization of not long ago.
...
On the other side, at the Cleaners' Civilization Headquarters.
The actions of the pastoralists are tantamount to dancing on the fragile nerves of the cleaners of civilization.
Now there's another neutral faction.
The Cleaner civilization was completely dumbfounded by those spacetime fluctuation signals with clear objectives.
What exactly happened in the Boötes Hollow?!
In such a vast civilization of cleaners, no one can provide an answer.
Then……
Strange things happened.
Without knowing the reason, the Cleaners headquarters could only issue an order to send additional fleets—drawing warships from various superclusters to form a fleet and head to the Boötes Void region.
No matter what tricks the pastoralists and neutrals are up to, the cleanup crew must lend a hand!
The cleaners' civilized actions further stimulated the senses of the pastoralists.
Reinforcements! We urgently need reinforcements!
The actions of the pastoralists and the cleaners further irritated those already wavering higher civilizations within the neutral faction.
A positive cycle is a valid one.
that's all.
Without human civilization's knowledge, a vortex centered on human civilization, powerful enough to sweep across the entire universe, slowly began to operate!
...
Boötes is empty.
The Human Union's microcosm port is now fully open, handling a large number of starships and supplies.
Spacetime traps, dark matter space mines, space annihilation generators, stars and anti-stars...
While starships transported various weapons, numerous space factories also began to be built around the microcosm port.
Under Zero's control, these space factories have begun operating at full capacity.
Inside the command center of the Earth.
"drop!"
"Coordinates... Wormhole generation detected!"
