At Roderick's command, the hesitant crowd acted without hesitation.
All ethnic groups mobilized and displayed their unique abilities.
Human cultivator Sun Zhu led the other human cultivators into formation, and the red and blue flying swords shone brightly.
The sword energy, which surged more than ten meters, merged into one and blasted towards the mecha's control panel.
"Bang!"
The enormous sound echoed throughout the port where the starship was docked.
The signal conveyed by this sound caught the attention of the intelligent beings left outside.
"Charge! Charge! Charge!"
"attack!"
Amidst the cheers and shouts of tens of thousands of people, the massive warship, as large as an asteroid, was torn to pieces in an instant.
The mechs are wielded with terrifying speed and a variety of attack methods.
The two-meter-thick composite deck was instantly pierced.
Roderick shouted a reminder:
"Stop attacking the warship! The port side of the warship is carrying energy stones. We can't let the energy stones scatter. Disrupt the weapon's trajectory!"
If the aftershocks of the explosion reach the energy stone, it could very well push it into deep space, making it very difficult to retrieve.
The AI that had spoken with them earlier has likely transformed into a string of information signals, escaped from the warship, and returned to the technology city.
The border forts, which had just fallen silent, once again lit up with the light of stored energy.
Thousands of main cannons flashed rapidly, and with a "boom," the light instantly pierced through thousands of kilometers away, leaving a trail that was so hot it turned white.
The main gun was clearly aimed at Roderick and Han Ling.
Roderick, holding Han Ling, anticipated the AI's attack and quickly slipped outside the warship.
The extremely hot white light was only five meters away from Roderick.
Roderick looked furious. If he didn't make a move, did they really think he was a pushover with no temper?
To everyone's astonishment, Roderick's figure suddenly vanished from the spot.
Immediately afterwards, the aftershocks of an explosion rang out from the artillery control platform on the edge of the science and technology city.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
The chaotic electromagnetic currents made people's ears itch.
With terrifying speed, Roderick swept past hundreds of laser turrets, his spear flashing, and in an instant, the charged light vanished.
All that remained were the scrap metal, cut in two, which clattered and fell onto the platform.
Roderick's move terrified everyone.
"The Zerg leader, stop attacking!"
"Don't move! You hold the hope of victory in your hands!"
"Let us do the dirty and hard work!"
"Protect the hope in your hands! Let us fight!"
The crowd turned pale. Without a second thought, they rushed to Roderick's side, took over his work, and began dismantling the defensive technology of the Tech City.
The crowd tore it down while cursing angrily.
"You ungrateful wretch! When they attacked us before, we just assumed it was the Tech City defending itself, and fearing some misunderstanding, we kept moving under the fire without attacking the gun emplacements. Did you really think we were afraid?"
"If I had known, I would have just demolished the towers along the way!"
"Tear it down! Tear it all down!"
"If the AI is also wary of the Wu Clan, then we must protect Han Ling even more."
The crowd was immediately outraged.
The gun emplacements in the science and technology city are clearly made of a different material than the sturdy deck below.
With the combined efforts of everyone, the border defense weapons on the west side were dismantled in just half an hour.
At this point, if the AI still wanted to attack them, it would probably have to mobilize the mechanical entities from a distance.
When everyone had a chance to rest, they turned to look at Roderick, to see if Han Ling in his arms had woken up.
But the result was somewhat disappointing to everyone; Han Ling was still fast asleep with his eyes closed.
However, the attacks from the AI came wave after wave.
12 hours later.
The long battle had left everyone somewhat demoralized. They stood warily on the dock deck, surrounding Han Ling and Roderick.
Just then.
A huge light screen image suddenly appeared in front of the dock.
On the light screen, which was a kilometer high and a kilometer wide, the image of the AI appeared.
The AI smiled and spoke clearly:
"We've just received the latest news: the rest of the AIs have arrived in their respective star systems as planned and have begun the orientation program. The footage has been transmitted back; I think you should take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, the AI disappeared.
The screen is divided into densely packed small blocks by different images, and each block is marked with a serial number.
Number 00025, Human Race of Blue Star.
Number 00087, Zerg in the Cardiff region.
Number 00114, West Samu tribe.
Number 03742, Fia Galaxy, silicon-based life.
Without exception, war was taking place on every single one of the small light screens.
To be precise, it was a one-sided massacre.
The mech warships, which were originally under human control, suddenly lost control and began attacking each other.
Intelligent household robots on the planet unleashed their killing intent upon sleeping humans.
Large-scale machinery began to destroy and flatten the city.
Defensive anti-aircraft shells began indiscriminate attacks.
Thick smoke penetrated the atmosphere, shrouding the entire planet in fog.
Those AIs piloted warships, hovering above these planets, calmly recording everything.
Once they can no longer sense life, they will travel to the next planet.
The StarNet was controlled by the AI, severing all connections between people. The quantum computers were rendered useless, or even turned into traitors who relayed messages.
If the optical brain detects that a person's vital signs are stable and they are still alive, it will upload the person's location to the intelligent brain.
Next, the intelligent being that had been hiding will be subjected to precise artillery fire.
The AI was recording everything above the planet; on the screen, there were no desperate cries, no angry roars.
Intelligent beings thus lost their lives in silence and vanished into nothingness.
The intelligent race on the dock platform were furious at what they saw on the screen.
Anger filled everyone's hearts.
The AI's arrogant voice rang out:
"Before long, the intelligent race will be completely wiped out. Your resistance will be futile. Give up resistance as soon as possible and stop struggling."
Upon hearing this, everyone gritted their teeth, their anger becoming increasingly palpable.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Sun Zhu, the leader of the Blue Star human race, was furious. He drew his longsword from his waist, and with a powerful sword aura, he slashed down.
The powerful sword intent swept forward for thousands of meters with a destructive force, scattering iron filings everywhere.
Most intelligent beings have a long growth period, and their skills and strength gradually increase with age.
No one can be strong forever, but there are always people at their peak.
However, the actions of the Science City killed off all the powerful individuals who had not yet grown up, thus destroying the future of the race.
Who wouldn't be angry?
At this moment, unless Han Ling wakes up immediately and reveals the winning strategy, no one can suppress their anger.
"kill!"
"kill!"
One roar after another, accompanied by powerful attacks, slammed into the light screen.
"All races, follow me! Charge! Flatten the Science City!"
"We will not rest until the science and technology city is completely flattened!"
With a roar from Sun Zhu, the crowd that had been gathered on the dock platform immediately scattered and began to advance in different directions.
The vast crowd dispersed, and in no time, only the Zerg led by Roderick and the Wu Clan led by Li Xun remained on the huge dock platform.
Li Xun watched helplessly as his home planet was destroyed and planets within the star field exploded one after another. Although he was heartbroken, he also felt a sense of relief.
As early as when this great war was predicted, the Wu tribe migrated as a whole, and the people dispersed to hide on an unknown asteroid. Although their home planet was destroyed, there were no Wu tribe members on it.
Li Xun looked into Roderick's arms and quietly waited for Han Ling to wake up.
————————
Time passed day by day.
After venting their anger on the defensive weapons of the Science City, the various races returned to the dock platform in turn after razing the Science City to the ground.
Han Ling slept for seven days.
At this time, the powerful figures of various races had long lost their former glory.
Although they leveled all the buildings in the science city and destroyed all the weapons, the entire massive platform of the science city remained completely undamaged.
No one knows what materials or methods the Science City used to create this thing, but even with everyone's combined efforts, they couldn't destroy it.
Even more frightening is that the oxygen released by the science and technology city is running out.
The atmosphere created by the science and technology city is gradually becoming thinner.
For the last three days, everyone reduced all unnecessary activities and lay quietly on the dock platform to minimize oxygen consumption.
The group had no shortage of essential supplies such as water and food.
Because many races possess spatial abilities, such as the Sumeru Mustard Seed or spatial arrays, which store enough resources to sustain tens of thousands of people for a long time.
For the past seven days, the AI in the science and technology city has appeared on time every time, showing everyone new footage of the massacre.
The dual torment of mind and body left all intelligent beings with a pent-up feeling of despair.
They were all waiting for the right moment, waiting for Han Ling to wake up.
