"The Devourers of Civilization have begun to exert mind control over our squad, and our probes have discovered anomalous fluctuations in Aether space."

"The opponent's mind control failed, our squad was all awake, and the opponent's mind control was ineffective against units using consciousness descent." The purple in the eyes of the ten soldiers in the video flickered a few times before disappearing.

"Very well, order the fleet to start attacking, and give me as much as I can to weaken it." Li Mingze nodded, as long as the other party can't control the person who uses the consciousness descending.

If you can't even get close, how can scientists study it?

The heavy beam cannons on the 200,000 warships began to charge up, and a faint blue light glowed at the muzzles.

The Devourer of Civilizations has sensed that something is wrong, and the sheer amount of high-energy reaction in the Imperial fleet has given it a very terrified feeling.

Huge purple tentacles began to rise from the planet's surface, thickening and lengthening, and soon reaching the same length as the planet's diameter.

These tentacles began to entangle themselves with each other in front of the planet, forming a huge shield.

Clearly, the Devourer of Civilization wants to use this shield to fend off the oncoming attack.

As time passed, the Heavy Beam Cannon of the Imperial Mechic Battleship had finished accumulating, and two hundred thousand dazzling blue beams of light shot from the Imperial fleet towards the tentacle shield in front of it, and a large amount of purple slime evaporated in an instant, and the Devourer of Civilization let out an angry roar.

However, it is a pity that the power of these beam cannons is still inferior, and the tentacle shield was not completely destroyed by this salvo, but it also paid the price of being dissolved by nearly half of the tentacles.

The Devourer of Civilizations, already mad, took control of his planet-like body and rushed towards the Imperial fleet without hesitation.

Although it may seem slow, in the displacement of planetary units, the speed of the Devourer of Civilization has undoubtedly caught up with the cruising speed of the Imperial mechanical warship.

One tentacle after another began to fly in space, and because there was no restriction of air resistance, these tentacles swung at an astonishing speed, and many mechanical battleships that had no time to dodge were smashed to pieces.

At this time, the inadequacy of the mechanical battleship program was revealed, these computer programs did not have the ability to respond in time, and they could only choose the most suitable one according to the tens of thousands of different contingency measures set before departure.

Above all, they don't have the ability that is unique to living beings: the perception of danger!

All soldiers who spend a lot of time on the battlefield or creatures that are often hunted by predators have a special ability to sense danger coming!

If it were a human driver, they would be able to take evasive actions based on this perception of danger in time, but the program would not have been able to.

These programs will only be circumvented when they are calculated to be dangerous, which is a fatal flaw in the face of Civilizationeaters who can change the direction and intensity of their attacks at any time.

A large number of mechanical battleships were smashed into pieces by the tentacles, and a glowing beam cannon continued to shoot out in the middle of the tentacles, but unfortunately, these beam cannons did very little damage to tentacles several kilometers thick.

"Alright, order half of the fleet to retreat, and the other half to carry out a suicide attack!" Li Mingze saw that he had successfully attracted a large amount of purple slime from the Devourer of Civilization, so he ordered decisively.

Half of the mech-battleship was wrestling with its tentacles, and half of it suddenly turned away, while the other half accelerated towards the main body of the Devourer of Civilization.

The Devourer of Civilization had sensed something was wrong by this time, and the suicide attack reminded it of the painful experience it had not long ago.

In a panic, it began to control its tentacles in an attempt to envelop the ships that were charging forward. But this happened to fall into the tricks of the Empire, and more than 80,000 mechanical warships filled with nuclear bombs suddenly exploded after being surrounded by tentacles, turning into more than 80,000 balls of light.

The tentacles that surrounded these warships were evaporated in an instant, and the Devourer of Civilization suffered another heavy blow, and the body that was once once again the size of an Earth began to shrink, and soon shrank to two-thirds of its original size.

"The hyperspace jammer is on, don't let it run!" With Li Mingze's roar, on the outer side of the entire star system, six hyperspace shields were activated at the same time, and the connection between this star system and hyperspace was completely severed, and all spaceships could no longer jump into hyperspace.

Li Mingze guessed correctly, after being hit hard, the Devourer of Civilization first wanted to jump into hyperspace to escape.

But when it couldn't sense the existence of hyperspace in any case, it realized that something was wrong, and the fleet in front of it actually blocked its retreat!

"Nope! Let's make a swap, you let me go, how about I never get close to your star field! ”

"What kind of technology do you want, there are a lot of good things in the memories I devour here, as long as you let me go, I can give it all to you."

Finding that there was nowhere to escape, and there were nearly 100,000 warships in front of it, the Devourer of Civilization decisively admitted it, and the experience of living for hundreds of millions of years told it that it would not worry about having no firewood to burn, as long as it could save its own life, dignity would not be a problem!

"No, no, no, I'm not going to let you go, I'm very, very interested in your body and abilities."

"If you are willing to surrender and cooperate with our research, I can promise not to kill you, how about it, free for life!" Li Mingze replied decisively after receiving the message from the Chinese Devourer in his mind, without showing any mercy.

"I'm ....." The Devourer of Civilization looked around with his mental power, originally planning to wait for an opportunity to escape, but suddenly found that the surrounding star system was actually full of warships!

Feeling the sheer number of these warships, and thinking that these warships were not subject to its mind control like the mechanical warships before it, it decisively gave up its intention to escape.

"I... I surrender...."The Devourer of Civilization raised two huge tentacles above its body and made a gesture of surrender, which it had learned from the Devouring Civilization.

"Well, I just like to deal with smart people!" Li Mingze clapped his palms.

"Then you stay here honestly, actively cooperate with our scientists, and in six months you will be free to move!" Li Mingze's words made the devourers of civilization feel a burst of ecstasy, could it be that they planned to let themselves go after six months? Hmph, when the time comes.....

You can gather the people outside and wipe out this damn civilization!

What it never expected, however, was that six months later, a new Imperial fleet appeared in front of it.
