The number of space fortresses that the gatherers want to attack is 23, which is equivalent to a mothership-class, but they only have this size, and they don't have the terrifying firepower and defense of the mothership-class, otherwise with the fleets of the new empire, they would not be able to crush the garrison stationed on the near orbit of the gate in the first place.

It's not that hard to destroy such large space fortresses, but the hard thing is how to solve them without causing large-scale scattered damage, and God knows if the sputtered debris will activate the gate's counterattack mechanism.

The combat mode of the Holy Worm State is like an aircraft carrier, a large number of combat bodies that can be teleported are released by a warship, although these combat bodies have a strange appearance, have limbs, and have no long-range attacks, but the melee lethality is not weak, and with the ability to teleport, you can make up for the lack of long-range attack methods.

Due to this particular mode of combat, the Gate's counterattack mechanism has instead become an advantage for the Holy Worm State to restrain the new Empire's long-range means.

However, this is only an advantage for the new empire......

The space fortresses of the Holy Vorm State, if one were to observe them with thermal imaging radar, would have seen that they were climbing in heat at a slow rate.

This increase in heat is presented as an upward curve on the graph, with a slow start to the temperature and an acceleration as the temperature increases, getting closer to a straight line, an exponential increase that means that by the time the attacker realizes that they are being attacked and intends to take countermeasures, it is already too late.

This is the case with these space fortresses.

Not only the high temperature, but also the increasingly serious radiation, a large area of vomiting blood occurred in the space fortress, and the high-energy radiation destroyed the physical functions of everyone in the space fortress, and many soldiers of the Holy Vorm State began to have symptoms caused by radiation to varying degrees.

As time passed, the light on the surface of these space fortresses around the doors became stronger and stronger, like light bulbs floating in the dim space.

At a distance of about four minutes from the Space Fortress, there is also a circle of luminaries surrounding the door, and these luminaries are also brighter than the Space Fortress, and they are reducing the distance between them and the Space Fortress at a very high speed.

When the luminaries reduced the distance between them and the space fortress to about two light minutes, one side of the space fortress was already overwhelmed with a lava pit, and the fortress was wrapped in a layer of haze at some point, all of which were directly sublimated by the high temperature.

By the time the distance was reduced to one light, the Space Fortress had melted into a hole that occupied a third of its size, and the inner walls of the cave were visibly liquid and glowed reddish-orange, like a soldering iron that had just been taken out of a forge.

The most important point is that there is no wreckage splashing.

The 23 space fortresses of the Holy Worm State fell silently.

The luminous luminaire's glow dimens, revealing the light source at the center of the light cluster, the Leaping Creature.

"Confirmed to be all destroyed."

"Your part looks at the wreckage, tries to parse useful information, and the remaining individuals pass through the door, and seize control of the door at the other end."

"Understood."

Leaping creatures swept around at high speed, the thin haze formed by the sublimation of the fortress part left a trail of clearly visible tracks.

The leaping creatures slowed down and sailed for about an hour or so, reaching the front of the door.

The Leaping Creatures are as small as ants compared to a super-large structure, and they can also feel a noticeable gravitational effect that they only experience when they are close to the stars.

As the new empire has given information, the total mass of the gate is equivalent to a red dwarf.

In appearance, the door is cylindrical as a whole, and it remains rotating at all times, and is divided into several segments, and the direction of rotation of several segments is opposite, but the speed of rotation is the same.

The center of the cylinder is hollow, and when viewed from a macroscopic scale, it looks like a truncated stainless steel pipe, which is divided into several segments and rotates in opposite directions.

There is a special sphere inside the hollow, which looks like a huge glass ball, which is stable in the center of the hollow cylinder, and they are very close to each other, but do not have any contact with the inner wall of the cylinder.

The collectors looked through the optical organs and could see that there were spots of light on it, which were bright stars, and the spheres reflected the background picture of the universe.

In the radar echo, the collectors could not observe the entity, but the optical observation organ could actually capture the existence of the sphere, and in the thermal imaging spectral observation, the temperature of the sphere was surprisingly low, even lower than the 3K temperature of the universe, very close to absolute zero.

"Is this the door? It's a little different from what I imagined. ”

"What do you imagine the door to look like?"

When asked, the gatherer informs his fellow tribe of his understanding.

"I imagined the door to be a swirling cone, similar to a whirlpool on the water."

"It is a two-dimensional structure that is converted for the sake of understanding, and if it is moved to three-dimensional, the two-dimensional circular entrance of the vortex is a three-dimensional sphere, and the cone structure is moved to a dimension higher than three-dimensional."

The gatherer was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he clarified the relationship, the structure of the cone had not changed, only the dimension had changed.

"I see."

The gatherers rushed straight to the sphere in the center of the hollow cylinder.

Many gatherers were already prepared to prevent collisions, although they already knew from the New Empire that they didn't need to submit any declarations or formalities to the door to pass through the door, and they could just rush straight to the central orb.

But it's like a wall in front of you, someone tells you that the wall is fake, and you will wear it when you hit it, but in your eyes, the wall looks very strong, even if you believe it is true, you will subconsciously prepare for the impact.

It turns out that the subconscious actions of the gatherers are superfluous, and they do not come into contact with any entities.

A very magical scene played out around them, the surrounding time and space distorted as they continued to advance, some like the scene that occurred during the shrinkage effect, but different, there was no star rainbow phenomenon, just the stars moving in an arc.

There was no sense of anything unusual, and when the stars returned from moving to fixed, they had already passed through the door and reached the other end of the door before they knew it.

Reacting from their initial stunned moments, the gatherers quickly adjusted their state.

With the release of a powerful radar wave, a new battle began, and one by one the leaping creatures rushed straight towards the space fortress of the Holy Worm State as the target, turning into a meteor that brought disaster, and the terrifying light of destruction shone among the stars.
