Chapter 315: Devourer Civilization
In order to prevent the Destroyer-class weapons from affecting their own ships, a planetary-class ship began to retreat, expanding the scope of the encirclement.
At the same time, the City of Angels began to move.
"Do a disruptive attack, don't let it run!" The commander ordered, and the large cannons on the planet-level ships began to roar, and a ray of energy crashed into the golden space-time shield, causing ripples.
But without exception, these attacks were absorbed by the Temporal Shield.
But as the temporary commander of the Angel City, the cooldown did not sit back and enjoy it, she knew that the other party was brewing a big move, but there was an upper limit to the attacks that the space-time shield could absorb, and the attacks of one or two planetary-level ships were fine, if so many planetary-level ships were launched together, the space-time shield would definitely collapse.
So, she temporarily took over the pilots of the City of Angels, let it flick a shot, circled the inner wall of the encirclement, and slammed into one of the planetary ships.
The captain of a planet-class spaceship was terrified when he saw this, and everyone did not expect that an incoming planetary-class spaceship could not only absorb a large number of attacks for its own use, but also have the flexibility that was not inferior to that of a fighter aircraft, and the most terrible thing was that it actually crashed into itself!
The opponent has that strange golden shield, and may not care about the impact, but the own battleship can't withstand the impact of planetary targets, even if they have a strong shield.
He immediately ordered a blue shield to be fully propped up on the impact surface, and then released the destroyer-level weapon in advance, even if it couldn't destroy the opponent, it would be good to block the opponent's forward speed and provide valuable dodge space for his own side.
I saw an invisible pipe extending out from the star-level spaceship, and the moment it came into contact with the opponent's golden shield, it suddenly slammed into flames, and a majestic torrent of energy exploded, completely enveloping most of the space-time shield.
But soon, these explosive energies were quickly absorbed by the space-time shield like a long whale absorbing water, and the forward speed of the City of Angels was not only not hindered, but even faster!
Without giving the other party any time to react, the City of Angels slammed into the small side of the planetary-class spaceship, like a metal spike ball grazing over a watermelon at the speed of a bullet out, the metal thorn ball only slightly deflected in a slight direction, and the watermelon began to collapse from the impact surface, followed by the impact of the energy core detonating the entire planetary-class spaceship from the inside.
The captains and commanders of the planetary-class ships were dumbfounded and their scalps tingled, while the angels inside the City of Angels only felt a violent shaking, and some of the fragile equipment might be damaged as a result, but it didn't have much impact on the whole.
Just when the other party was dumbfounded, the City of Angels took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement, and it was only at this time that those captains and commanders reacted and hurriedly drove the planetary-level spacecraft to pursue.
Although they are not as flexible as the City of Angels, they naturally have their own unique technology when flying in a straight line, and they will not be inferior to the City of Angels.
Fearing that the enemy would kill the rifle and crash it back, they put one of the most rugged, unmanned planetary-class ships at the front, transmitting information and energy through that invisible channel.
"It's not an option." One of the captains said, "The direction of the other party's flight is the barren cosmic belt, and our follow-up energy can't keep up." ”
"Yes!" Another captain chimed in, "The level of the other party's warships is obviously more than one level higher than ours, I'm afraid only those neutron star battleships in the Central Star Sea can be compared." ”
The commander nodded with a deep groan, and then said, "I can only launch an attack in advance, gather the energy of all the warships to launch a combined strike." ”
"The leading battleship may not be able to bear it......," the chief of staff analyzed, "and the energy pipeline is so large that it takes a little time to transport energy." ”
"Don't worry." The commander said, "It's just an unmanned warship, and if it's destroyed to drive out foreign invaders, it's destroyed." ”
The captains nodded in agreement with the commander's statement, their civilization is already very mature in the construction technology of planetary-level spaceships, and even the black hole spaceships have no less than tens of billions, and they would care about an ordinary planetary-class spaceship?
"But what I'm worried about is ......," the chief of staff continued, "does the other side also have any large-scale destroyer-class weapons, and will we be killed by the other side if we string them together like this?" ”
Everyone remembered that the winged women slashed out hundreds of kilometers of flame rainbows with a wave of their swords, and such a picture immediately appeared in their minds: a string of meatballs was strung on the same bamboo skewer, and then it was facing a flamethrower......
They felt like their brains were exploding for a moment!
……
When Leng walked on the high platform to start the Tiancheng Great Trial, after seeing the formation of local warships strung together on the virtual interface, he couldn't help but sneer, the two judgment angels standing on the trial table had solemn expressions on their faces, in fact, they also wanted to laugh in their hearts, putting on this formation, they were afraid that their own warships would not be wiped out, right?
In fact, Leng used such a burst of means to break out of the encirclement, what she wanted was the situation where the enemy gathered behind her to pursue, but what she didn't expect was that the other party would actually put on a straight line pursuit formation, and she was really happy in her heart.
However, she was happy in her heart, and she was not ambiguous at all when it came to executing the Amagi Trial, and quickly pulled out the sword of judgment on the stage and slashed at the serial star-level spaceship on the virtual interface.
……
In the deep space of the universe, a spatial rift lung spanning several astronomical units appeared out of thin air, and a little red light flashed out of it, and then expanded into a raging flame that spread throughout the spatial rift.
The captains and commanders of the pursuing planetary-level battleships were horrified when they saw this, and immediately ordered the fleet to disperse and dodge, but it was too late, and a huge flame sword shadow slashed down from the spatial crack, enveloping all the planetary-level battleships in an instant.
Then, a series of explosions lit up in the flames, expanding outward one after another, like fireworks blooming in the universe, incomparably bright.
……
The news of the destruction of the border fleet was quickly transmitted to the main star of the civilization, and the top of the civilization was not only not angry, but extremely excited, a small border fleet, the destruction was destroyed, they didn't care at all, they still had trillions of fleets of this size, and they were excited that they finally found out that there were other cosmic civilizations in the universe besides them.
Their civilization has developed to a bottleneck period, because of the limitations of resources, although the fleets that go out to explore the unknown universe continue to bring back a huge amount of resources, but it is still a drop in the bucket for the development of the entire civilization.
And most importantly, the fleet they went out had never found any trace of other civilizations, not even a weak surface civilization, which made them feel extremely lonely.
They belong to an extremely expansive and aggressive race, and they have not discovered other civilizations, which will not only weaken the will to fight of the civilization itself, but also lead to the intensification of internal contradictions and the occurrence of internal wars due to excessive energy that has nowhere to vent, which is definitely not good news for civilization.
Internal friction has always been the beginning of a weakening civilization, and they have been internally consumed for hundreds of thousands of years, and even the highest civilization council has been overturned thousands of times, although today's civilization council also relies on internal friction to start, but they absolutely do not want the end of internal friction to happen to themselves, and every redistribution of resources is tantamount to a devastating disaster for the original vested interests.
Now, at last, traces of other civilizations have been discovered, and there is finally hope for the future of their civilization.
The head of civilization waited until the high-level leaders were excited before slowly speaking: "Everyone, whether it is a captive or a kind invitation, we can't let this spaceship from outside the known universe leave, as long as we can get the coordinates of their civilization from them, you can do whatever you want with them, but before that, I only say two things, one is not to let them leave, and the other is not to destroy them!" ”
"Yes!" Everyone agreed in unison.
"Then now...... "The head of civilization glanced at everyone and asked slowly, "Which general and diplomat is willing to 'invite' this friend of ours from afar to come to the Central Star Sea as a guest?" ”
"My subordinates are willing to go!" In an instant, more than a dozen generals stood up in unison.
Joke, whoever successfully "invites" this outsider to come to the Central Star Sea can not only get outstanding feats, but also have the opportunity to be the first to obtain the coordinates of the other party's civilization, and get the fastest development opportunity for the civilization forces under his command, who doesn't compete for the first?
The head of civilization smiled, raised his hand to calm everyone's excitement, and said: "Really, you are all the most brave and warlike generals of civilization, it is impossible to send you out for the sake of a mere outsider, but if I choose one of you, I will make the others dissatisfied......"
A bad premonition rose in the hearts of the generals who stood up.
"Why don't you do it." The head of civilization said, "Leave the opportunity to the young people......
As he spoke, he pointed to one of the youngest generals in the audience and ordered, "Artes, you go." ”
"Yes!" The young general named "Artes" got up and agreed.
The generals frowned and turned their resentful gazes to Artes, but the other party didn't seem to notice.
The head of civilization took all this into his eyes, and at the same time he was a little worried in his heart, civilization has been peaceful for a long time, the internal contradictions have been very intense, and there is constant friction between the civilization forces of various star regions, and the civilization of Artes is a rising star, and it has been squeezed out by the civilizations of other star regions but is still developing rapidly, which makes the head of civilization very worried, whether Artes will become the leader of the next internal friction.
Artes left the Capital Star in a spaceship, heading towards his own Civilization Star Zone, and glanced at the Capital Star, a hint of sarcasm flashing across his face, which had been expressionless.
Turning around, his face returned to an expressionless appearance, and facing the staff group of his own star region, he asked, "What do you think of that old thing asking me to deal with the matter of foreign civilization warships?" ”
The chief of staff of the staff was an older wise man, and the corners of his mouth twitched when he heard Artes scolding the "old thing".
"Don't worry, Gamma sensei, I didn't mean you." Seeing the old man's expression, Artes hurriedly added.
"Ahem." Gamma coughed lightly to hide the embarrassed look on his face, and then analyzed: "The purpose of the head is nothing more than that.
First, from the perspective of the external environment of our star sector, it will intensify the contradictions between our star sector and other star regions, so that we will not be able to get the support of other star regions and will not be able to join forces with other star regions to launch an attack on the central star sector.
Second, from the perspective of the internal environment of our star sector, let a huge cake appear inside our star sector, so that the internal civilization can shift its attention to opening up outward, thereby reducing our determination to attack the central star sector.
Third, from the perspective of the layout of the war, let us star regions take the lead, it is nothing more than using our pioneering passion to consume our strength, as long as we fight, the central star sea will definitely let other fleets attack, taking advantage of our weakness to share the cake promised to us, in this way, we contribute the most, but we cannot get the corresponding benefits. ”
"Huh!" Artes couldn't help but sneer and asked, "Then what should we do from Teacher Igama?" ”
Gamma was silent for a while, and said, "One, wholeheartedly befriend the alien fleet, protect it, and take over the distribution of the cake, so that we can take the opportunity to encircle the forces of other star regions. ”
"Well, that's a good plan." Artes nodded, "What about two?" ”
Gamma glanced at Artes, and said coldly: "The second is to destroy the cake, we are not a civilization council, just a star region, not to worry about the problem of resources, if the resources are not enough, then rely on the war to fight for it, anyway, the star field of civilization is still very large compared to our star region." ”
"This ......," Artes hesitated, "isn't it going to be a little radical, and everyone will turn their hateful gaze to our sector." ”
Gamor smiled, looking very sinister: "Star Commander, you Mo Fei thought that the Star Commanders of the Star Sector who didn't get the mission would sit and wait for you to 'invite' that Alien Battleship to the Central Star Sea?" Giving you the first opportunity to take the lead and the first development opportunity? ”
"Hehe......" Artes couldn't help laughing, and the laughter turned into a laugh, "Hahahahaha, high, teacher, you are so tall!" ”
After laughing, the two of them conducted several rounds of review with the staff committee on the specific plan of action and details, and when they were done, their destination was also reached.
This is the station of the Atheus fleet, which spans more than ten light-years, and the chief engineer has moored the former black hole search warships, 100,000 neutron star warships, 500,000 white dwarf star warships, 10 million search star warships, and countless warships of other sizes.
As a result, the gravitational field here is somewhat chaotic and requires a special ship or armor to enter.
Artes was likely to participate in the battle next, so he directly changed into a battle armor.
The fifty-meter-tall giant armor slowly stepped out of the ship and came to Artes, its waist slightly bowed, allowing the traction beam from the chest light to envelop Artes's body.
Instantly, Artes' figure suddenly disappeared into the interior of the giant warframe, his body slowly merged into an oval chamber filled with buffers and cultures, and an invisible pipe hung from above and pierced into his brain, causing his body to fall into a deep sleep, but his consciousness had already been uploaded to the core's arithmetic core.
"Neuronal grafting complete...... Consciousness has been uploaded......"
In the next moment, dazzling streams of light flashed throughout the giant armor's body, and finally converged on its head, causing its eyes to burst into a dazzling blue light.
After Artes took control of the Compute Core, he began to perform a Warframe self-check.
"The Warframe is performing well...... The system is running smoothly...... Sufficient energy reserves......"
"Start the dark energy-driven engine!" Artes ordered.
"Starting...... Boot complete...... The engine is performing well...... Current dark energy reserves are 99%...... It can operate normally for one month...... Can be used for a week of low-intensity combat...... Can be used for a day of high-intensity combat...... It can be fought at the rule level for three hours......"
"Turn off the dark energy engine!" Artes ordered again.
"Closing...... Closure successful...... Your Warframe performance self-check is complete......"
As soon as Artes' thought moved, the armor raised his arm and clenched his fist, feeling the constant flow of power into his consciousness, and he was very satisfied.
Yes, it was this sense of power that fascinated him, so he was eager to fight all the time!
This is the mark engraved in the bones of civilization, they want to occupy and devour other people's resources, because ......
They're Devourer civilizations!
Each of their star regions has a Devourer, which is a cosmic creature that is larger than the stars, they grow themselves by devouring the planets and devouring the stars, and then feed back to the civilizations and races that live on them, those invisible channels are the connections established between each Devourer, they can communicate with each other through those channels, deliver nutrients to each other, and of course, this function can also be authorized to the civilizations and races that depend on them for survival, these civilizations that depend on them, All collectively known as the Devourer Civilization!
……
Hiko, who had already returned to the dormitory, paid attention to the battle of Leng Command throughout the whole process, and it was generally not bad, but the moment of impact made Hiko feel a little unbeautiful, this is Leng Fighting Style, and there is no lack of reckless behavior in the agility.
But she still pays more attention to Wei Zitong's body, after so many tragic battles, Wei Zitong is already physically and mentally exhausted, especially Rena's sacrifice, which hit Wei Zitong very hard.
For this, Yan can understand, if Wei Zitong is not there one day, she feels that she will definitely go crazy, she didn't say anything, just sat quietly next to Wei Zitong who was looking at the sky in a daze, gently leaning on his shoulder, enjoying this rare peace.
After a long time, Wei Zitong asked in a hoarse voice, "Where are we?" ”
"I don't know." Hiko replied softly.
"Huh?" Wei Zitong turned his head and looked at Yan with some puzzlement.
Hiko still looked ahead and said calmly: "I used all the energy of the Heavenly City on the high-dimensional space jump, and the coordinates I chose were also random, I didn't know where we were." ”
"What just happened?" Wei Zitong continued to ask.
Yan raised his head, looked at Wei Zitong's face, and said, "We seem to have jumped to another universe, where the civilization is different from our known universe in terms of the development of the technology tree, they focus on the development of giant war weapons, and we fought a battle with them. ”
And at this moment, a cold communication came: "Queen Yan, they are chasing after them, there are about two hundred planetary-class warships, and there is a bigger one, I don't know ......"
Yan immediately sat upright and said in a deep voice, "Send it over and take a look." ”
"Yes." Soon, a spherical battleship with a much larger scale than other planetary-class warships appeared in the virtual interface, and through a series of spectral and gravitational analyses on it, Hiko came to a very astonishing conclusion - this is a white dwarf battleship!
"It's a bit of a problem!" Hiko immediately stood up and ordered, "Everyone, take action, be ready to fight and leap at any time, this civilization is stronger than we expected!" ”
"Yes!" The voice of an angelic high-level came from the communicator.
"White Dwarf Battleship ......" Wei Zi Tong Mo rubbed his chin and analyzed: "Then will they still have a neutron star battleship...... Or even a black hole battleship? ”
"There's a good chance there will be!" Yan replied with a serious face, "When we first jumped over, we conducted a small-scale analysis of the dark plane information of the universe, and found that this is a cosmic-level civilization, even larger than the Kamigawa Alliance, and they are very focused on the research of giant war weapons, I think it is not unusual for them to have black hole warships." ”
Wei Zitong was silent for a while, and asked, "Is there still a stock of our anti-black hole matter?" ”
