Earth's calendar years.
According to data transmitted back from the split probe, at least half a million fleets have gathered around the Boötes Void.
Most of them are idyllic dimensional beings.
They were the first to set off, and at the same time, those four-dimensional beings possessed the most powerful wormhole travel technology. With the combination of these two, it was only natural that they would arrive first.
The others are starships from the Cleaners civilization and the Neutral civilization.
The neutral faction has the fewest starships and is the furthest from the Boötes Void.
The atmosphere around the Boötes Void is far too tense. In just a few decades, the Cleaners and the Pastoralists have clashed in no fewer than a hundred small-scale conflicts—at least a hundred galaxies have been reduced to countless interstellar dust and fundamental particles scattered throughout the vast universe.
As for the reasons behind the conflict...
The pastoral faction's strategic objective of encircling the Boötes Void is now quite clear.
Would the cleaners be willing to do that?
Although they didn't know the purpose of the pastoralists' actions, they did know one thing: whatever the pastoralists wanted to do, they only needed to do their best to stop them.
then……
As those dimensional beings traveled towards the Boötes Void, minor conflicts began to occur intermittently.
Therefore, as time goes by, the abnormal spacetime fluctuations around the Boötes Void become more and more frequent, and there are even occasional bursts of supernova light that illuminate the surrounding dim starry sky.
But the Hollow Boötes, the eye of the storm, has become the calmest and safest place.
This is merely the calm before the storm.
...
The interior of the Boötes Hollow.
The more than thirty years of buffer time allowed human civilization to take a much-needed breather.
Dozens of zero-point energy wells have greatly alleviated the problem of material scarcity in human civilization.
Meanwhile, relying on the stars and planets seized from the area around the Boötes Void by the Star Pickers, the size of the human fleet has surged to a staggering one million.
This speed of development completely stunned the Tenth Empire next door.
this……
Is he cheating?!
The Empire hasn't even successfully built its first tachyon computer yet, while the neighboring human civilization has already begun mass-producing and ascending to immortality?
Despite having countless doubts and confusions in their hearts, the Tenth Empire, as an ally, naturally wouldn't say much about it.
Inside the command center of the Earth.
As Lü Yongchang watched the rapidly increasing number of spatiotemporal anomaly signals in the holographic projection, his expression grew increasingly serious.
"War is about to break out."
Behind him, Zhao Zijie's voice came: "According to our calculations, when the next batch of reinforcements from the Pastoral Faction and the Cleaners arrive, the balance of the battlefield will be completely broken, and the war will probably officially begin."
Lu Yongchang nodded slightly: "Tell all combat units to be prepared for war at any time."
"At the Academy of Sciences, the research project on the second-generation [Fuxi] is progressing well."
"It won't be long before human civilization possesses even more powerful tachyon computers."
"But before that, we need to hold off the enemy's first wave of attacks."
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
The sudden sounding of an alarm interrupted Lü Yongchang's words.
Upon seeing the images projected in the holographic projection, everyone in the command center paled!
The pastoral school doesn't play by the rules!
"Enemy attack!"
Lü Yongchang was the first to react: "Zero! Sound the war alarm! Human fleet, attack!!"
...
Perhaps they feared that human civilization would grow to an insurmountable point, or perhaps they feared losing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, or perhaps they worried that the Cleaners' civilization would interfere with the Pastoral Faction's actions...
In short, before the next batch of reinforcements arrived on the battlefield, [Membrane] directly issued war orders.
[Pastoral faction, attack!]
Without any warning, the war broke out suddenly.
The idyllic dimensional beings recklessly poured into the Boötes Void!
While maintaining a safe distance, countless wormholes appeared in the Boötes Void.
One-dimensional, two-dimensional, four-dimensional...
Hundreds of thousands of dimensional creatures poured out of the wormhole, charging headlong towards the nearest human fleet!
The pastoral faction fired the first shot in this war!
The piercing alarms blared in every starship of the human fleet, and also in every starship of the Tenth Reich!
Boom!!!
In just one glance, the flames from the exploding human warships illuminated the extremely dark and empty starry sky of Boötes.
The human fleet reacted quickly, immediately entering a state of war.
But... even a civilization of cleaners that has developed for hundreds of millions of years would find it difficult to withstand such an offensive when hundreds of thousands of dimensional creatures attack simultaneously!
Not to mention human civilization, which has only just caught its breath!
The charging formation composed of hundreds of thousands of dimensional creatures tore a hole in the defensive network built by the human fleet!
"Damn it!!"
Looking at the dense red dots in the holographic projection, a ruthless glint flashed in Zhao Zijie's eyes: "Activate the spacetime trap ahead of schedule!"
"Activate Annihilation Starburst! Smash it directly at the area where the fleet is densely packed!"
Undoubtedly, areas with dense human fleets also attract more dimensional beings.
The moment the words fell.
boom!
A massive spacetime trap exploded with a deafening roar in the Boötes Void.
Pulled by the star hunters, pairs of stars, one after another, hurtled towards the target area like boulders on a catapult!
At this moment, the void in Boötes shines with the most dazzling light in the entire universe!
The simultaneous annihilation of tens of thousands of stars, both positive and negative, creates an explosive force that is unparalleled!
Some of the weaker lower-dimensional creatures even had their cores shattered!
Of course, the human fleet at the epicenter of the explosion also suffered severe damage.
It inflicts 800 casualties on the enemy, but also 1000 casualties on itself.
This reckless fighting style abruptly halted the momentum of the pastoral faction's advance.
The oncoming black hole bombs and gravity bombs directly disrupted the dimensional creatures' charging formation!
It was this meal that gave the surrounding advanced civilizations some time to react.
The vibrations from the four-dimensional leap echoed throughout the universe!
Cleaners, enter!
The Tenth Empire enters!
Further away, the spacetime fluctuations generated by the wormhole could be heard from afar.
Neutral faction, enter!
The battle situation suddenly changed. The pastoral civilization, which had originally launched a surprise attack, was suddenly surrounded!
