Two years later, in the year 4657 of the Earth calendar.
In the past two years, human civilization and that fleet have engaged in several battles beyond visual range.
Unfortunately, none of them caused any real harm.
The unknown fleet lost several insignificant ordinary warships, while human civilization lost some shipborne drones and floating turrets.
But this doesn't mean there were no gains.
At the very least, human civilization used this to ascertain the strength of the other side.
...
Humanity unites into a microcosm, [Earth].
Lü Yongchang carefully analyzed the summarized data in the holographic projection.
"To date, the enemy has already developed technologies similar to [Spatial Rift] and [Spatial Shield]."
"But they don't seem to have mastered the [spacetime trap] technology."
"Due to the great distance, we cannot accurately assess the enemy's understanding of spacetime theory."
"Judging solely from the speed of warp drive, their understanding of space and time is not as advanced as ours."
"But this cannot be used as a standard of judgment. After all, the maximum speed of Kuafu is only 800c."
"If there are similar mega-projects in the enemy fleet, then it is understandable that the fleet maintains a speed of 600c."
After a moment's hesitation, Lü Yongchang spoke again.
"Based on all the data, I believe that the opponent's strength should be at the peak of level six."
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the command center became tense.
Since reaching Level VI civilization, human civilization has never waged war against civilizations of the same level.
It started with a level six peak civilization, this...
It would be a lie to say I'm not anxious.
"But we have a big advantage."
Lu Yongchang then changed the subject: "Theoretically speaking, the other party should not have mastered the microcosm technology."
"On the one hand, they do not know our exact troop strength. Judging solely from the tachyon radar, the other side is very likely to make a huge misjudgment. On the other hand, we have sufficient supplies to consume."
As he spoke, a smile of interest appeared on Lü Yongchang's face.
If the enemy saw tens of thousands of fully equipped large warships suddenly appear in a small star system, their expression would probably be quite interesting.
...
In the tachyon radar, those extremely intense wave peaks finally reached the region near the star system.
"Activate the [Time-Space Trap]!"
When this powerful spacetime fluctuation was less than a light-year away from the star system, Lü Yongchang gave the order in a deep voice!
Buzz~
An invisible fluctuation emanated from a key point in this spacetime.
In just a few seconds, a raging tsunami erupted in the calm space!
The next instant.
With a strong spacetime fluctuation, a massive fleet was "forced" to appear in the dark universe—the enemy ships, unable to cope, immediately withdrew from their faster-than-light warp state!
The probes that had been deployed in this region of stars transmitted the images they observed back to Earth.
With just one glance, Lü Yongchang frowned, and the expressions on the faces of the academicians in the command center also became unnatural.
The reason is simple.
The construction style of these warships looks so familiar!
One by one, warships of varying sizes, all perfectly spherical in shape, hovered silently in the universe.
The warship's surface was perfectly smooth, without any protrusions or superfluous structures.
They are as beautiful as drops of water falling from the vast universe.
Behind these spherical warships, a silvery-white planet with a diameter of over 5,000 kilometers stands out conspicuously!
A colossal engineering project—the planetary fortress!
"The cleaners..."
With a grim expression, Lü Yongchang forced out a few syllables through his teeth.
The worst-case scenario has come true.
From the moment he discovered those Level 6 civilizations, this conjecture flashed through Lü Yongchang's mind.
Under normal circumstances, a Type VI civilization should be located in the central region of the Milky Way.
After all, that's the place with the most abundant resources.
Only the central region of the Milky Way can support the terrifying consumption of a Level 6 civilization.
During their journey spanning tens of thousands of light-years, human civilization, though not reaching the galactic center, has traversed most of the Milky Way, passing through numerous star-rich regions along the way.
However, human civilization did not encounter a Type 6 civilization there, but instead encountered one in the godforsaken place at the edge of the Milky Way!
This leaves only one possibility—these Level 6 civilizations were driven by external forces.
Or perhaps... all the level six civilizations in the Milky Way were taken in as subordinate civilizations by the Cleaner civilization.
And the scene before us confirms this guess!
In the footage, the fleet's formation appears visibly disorganized.
Clearly, they were baffled by this unusual situation where the warp drive was not functioning properly.
Strike while the iron is hot and kill him!
Faced with such a great opportunity, Zhao Zijie did not hesitate at all and immediately issued the attack order.
"Attention all units!"
"[Spatial Annihilation] Device, full power operation!"
"All warships, launch [Space Rift] at full power!"
"Fire freely! Repeat, fire freely!"
...
The outer edge of an unnamed star system.
In the pitch-black, vast universe, some spindle-shaped devices are irregularly distributed.
Next to these spindle-shaped devices are also a series of peculiar devices that resemble pyramids.
These devices are what are known as the "Space Annihilation" weapons.
Strictly speaking, it is the same weapon as the shuttle-shaped device that is responsible for activating the [Time Trap] - normally, the two devices are used together.
First, use the [Time Trap] to trap the enemy ship.
Then... use the [Time Annihilation] weapon to destroy the enemy ships.
It flowed smoothly and was completed in one go.
The moment the tachyon command was given, immense energy began to surge within these not-so-small pyramid-shaped devices.
The already unstable spacetime ocean intensified at this moment.
Click!
A dark and deep rift formed in this spacetime and quickly spread outwards.
Like a crack that spreads rapidly in glass.
In just over ten minutes, a structure resembling a spider web was formed.
As the power of the [Time Annihilation] device continued to increase, the area covered by this spider web structure grew larger and larger, and soon spread to the area around the spherical enemy ships that had not yet recovered from their shock!
Buzz!
Perhaps sensing something amiss, deep black shields appeared around these spherical warships!
Almost simultaneously, the power of the [Time Annihilation] device reached its maximum value!
Wow!
The peaceful spacetime shattered into countless fragments, like a piece of broken glass!
The chosen star field turned pure black at that moment!
Attack successful, all enemy ships hit!
