The branches of the ancient trees broadcast around the world, confusing the universe and blocking the stars.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Matter regained its original appearance, becoming a scattered stream of particles, under the action of invisible forces, the particles also began to decompose and shatter, becoming smaller and smaller, and finally turned into energy, which in turn degenerated into a large flow of information across the empty cosmic space, and overlapped again in the infinite distance......

In the signal subnetwork, one coordinate after another is constantly appearing and flashing, and each of the constantly changing coordinate points here is a behemoth that is enough to generate small celestial level power, and it can be seen from their actions that a large number of planet makers are forming a three-dimensional encirclement network through short-distance space jumps, like an open sack that gradually completely traps the route where the spherical space city is located, and then, it is to launch an irresistible and powerful attack to completely destroy the other party!

However, the tension of the imminent outbreak of war in space did not infect Arashi in the slightest, and for the creatures living here, everything was as calm as ever. In the endless blue sky, a small purple point of light grazed the surface of the sun as if it was about to overflow, and even though it was difficult to see the raging electric light in the daytime on the Orchid Star, this unique color could still easily make people know its identity: the third moon of the Arashi Moon...... For Xinglan, the importance is enough to be comparable to Lanxing's planet.

"You won't win."

The tight-clad girl sat at the top of the treetops of the ancient astral tree, squinting at the sky, expressing her undisguised disdain for these intruders in a short affirmative sentence...... Although considering the height of 1.4 meters, there is no majesty at all, if you ignore the group of ancient beasts that are passing by in a cluster below.

However, a moment later, Xing Lan, who had a serious face just now, suddenly showed a cute smile, and her slender little hand gently stroked the fluffy little one in her arms, and the blue-gold beast only reacted to this by yawning lazily, and continued to rub her saliva on her alloy silk clothes......

"Sure enough, this creature is so cute! I like it so much~" didn't mind the other party's reckless behavior, Xing Lan suddenly decided to temporarily treat the cute little mystery Xin as a personal pet...... And it seems to be out of an inexplicable sense of familiarity, Xiao Mi Xin has no intention of resisting her at all, but is very intimate......

The ancient tree is very thick, so even in the relatively thin treetops, this ancient astral tree can easily support the huge movement of Xinglan holding Xiao Mi Xin rolling back and forth on the branches. However, Xinglan soon stopped playing, and after reaching out to remove some of the white filamentous leaves, she could see a long metal antenna standing so abruptly on the top of the tree, through the messy filamentous leaves, pointing at the white clouds floating in the sky.

"So, let's get to work!" Giggling, Xinglan was in front of a large machine that was stuck diagonally at the top of a tree, and the slender antenna was sticking out from the top of the machine.

Although the device can be activated directly with a signal, Xinglan still mischievously places a button on the surface of the machine, which appears to be pressed with a finger, but in fact uses the signal to activate the machine directly from the internal circuit at the same time.

There is no instrument panel, and there is no indicator light, and the monitoring of the internal circuitry of the machine by the signal can let Xinglan know that the equipment has been started normally.

Silent, shadowless, but something did sweep by at that moment, and Xiao Mystery Xin, who was originally lying lazily and dozing in Xinglan's arms, suddenly woke up, his blue eyes widened, and the blue-gold hair full of static electricity all over his body was dancing back and forth frantically, and a trace of electric sparks burst out from time to time between the staggered...... It wasn't until Xinglan reached out again and gently stroked its fur that it slowly began to calm down.

Within a few kilometers of the star tree, even ordinary animals trembled violently, and the eerie paralysis that constantly appeared on the surface of their skin and the gradually changing color of the sky made these animals feel a visceral instinctive fear, and they almost did not hesitate to rush towards the place away from here...... Even if you have to cross a large river to get to another island.

After the signal quietly shrouded the surface of Xiao Mystery's body, and arranged a weakening protective layer for it, Xinglan picked it up and stood firmly on the round branch like an acrobat, looking up at the sky that had begun to appear strange bands of light.

It's not something particularly incredible, it's just a huge electromagnetic transmitter, but a little more powerful...... Well, it's really just a little bit, it can send huge electromagnetic wave pulses throughout the entire Arashi Star, and this time the message sent contains the coordinates of the star Lan and a short sentence.

"I'll wait for you to come."

That strangely formed form of collective consciousness lifeform, it was bound to come, and it didn't even scan Xinglan with a signal subon to believe it so with certainty. I am curious about the other party, why shouldn't the other party be the same? And she also firmly believes that the other party has been able to read the sentence through the language database data she transmitted.

"But until then, there are still some minor troubles that need to be cleaned up......"

It seemed to yawn lazily, Xinglan simply hugged Xiao Mixin and leaned against the trunk of the tree, and gently closed his eyes, while the little guy was a little confused, but he still closed his eyes honestly and rested with him...... As for the other animals? Within a few kilometers of this place, the site has been cleared invisibly, and not even a trace of insects can be heard.

And unlike the calm and peace here, the encounter in space is about to begin.

……

[Obviously, the strength of the other side has exceeded our expectations.] Browsing through the images monitored by the main system through over-the-top observation, Manipulator A expressed the situation in a somewhat sluggish tone, [1472 unidentified spacecraft that are changing course in this direction have been observed, the smallest of which is hundreds of meters in diameter, and the largest has star-level destructive power. Although we have detected very weak radiation leaks, I am reluctant to speculate on the exact level of radiation inside the unidentified layer of the other side. ]

After a moment of silence, Manipulator C opened another information document: [No point, if the other party is close to the most likely model...... Even if it was the lowest energy level of the possible matter, it only took one ship of this size to blow us to pieces...... But we have interception systems, and deflection shields, and even ...... That, so these flying machines of theirs can't hurt us. ]

[I see what you mean, these guys have terrifying powers, but the way they use them is as simple and crude as primitive creatures to make stone tools, which is a strange thing that is almost impossible to happen.] Manipulator A said.

[Maybe we've found something even more interesting......] Manipulator B retrieved a number of images from the database, among which were all sorts of strange flying machines, but all of them had a regular surface and metallic luster, [this is simply not like something that would have been developed by the same civilization, slightly older conventional metal spacecraft and completely incomprehensible savage vehicles constrained by special force fields, and although the sources of these metal vehicles can be in various directions, we can still roughly determine the target.] ]

[In other words, the place we yearn for happens to be their hometown?] Hahaha, but that's to be expected. ]

Another manipulator succinctly concluded: [There is no possibility of peace talks, only contention.] ]

Several focused beams of light quickly shot out of the air mass, transmitting a large amount of complex data to the main system, and the massive machine quickly began to enter a state of readiness, and many mechanical parts began to undergo complex transfers under the broken exterior.

[Civilization Fragment GK1548 is activating the remnant strategy module ......]

At this moment, a dreamlike landscape appeared around the spherical space city, and the calm universe seemed to fall into a strange shaking, and the still stars began to dance, and these moving points of light brought the illusion that the whole world was swaying with it. The starlight was like a candle in the wind, swaying and flickering faintly......

But this can't be! The reason why the stars twinkle on the planet is entirely due to the influence of the atmosphere on the light, but how can the stars look like they are twinkling in a completely vacuum universe here?

There is only one answer, it's not an illusion, they really are flickering.

In this distant starry sky, the almost immobile points of light are stars, the slow-moving points of light are planets, and the points of light that move at a visible speed are spacecraft and constantly twinkling lights...... That's a spaceship that's constantly making space jumps!

The planetary makers approached, and these smallest and mountain-like behemoths nimbly danced in shimmering steps, encircling from any direction, setting off the space city so small and so fragile. If they are allowed to come into contact thoroughly, with the power that these big guys can even create local spatial shocks after blasting together, this space city will not have a second end.

So it fought back.

The first to emerge is the previously used laser interception array, these highly focused beams can directly destroy the target in the middle of the road under the precise positioning of the main system, and the attack speed of the speed of light also makes it difficult to dodge at this distance scale...... Even if you have faster-than-light observations, it's too late to change course.

As we all know, the signal sub protective film on the periphery of the planet maker has an extremely strong ability to absorb energy, and in this high-temperature environment, even the biggest weakness of the signal sub: physical interference is no longer a problem, and the energy contained in the laser cannot even cause any damage to this protective film.

The first planetary maker sprinted at an accelerated pace, and the back half of it opened almost entirely to emit a huge flame of light, and even the power of the signal could no longer suppress this chaotic violent impact, and the safety of maintaining the nuclear reaction from a chain of explosions began to falter......

Rumble!

Finally, this giant nuclear bomb was completely ignited, turning into a rapidly expanding high-temperature plasma cluster and crashing into the location of the spherical space city, and the intense light radiation lasted for more than ten seconds like a small sun, which was enough to destroy the matter at the core from the atomic level!

When everything subsided, all that was left was a mess of disordered interstellar gas, but the figure of the sphere space city, which had been able to operate intact despite the heavy damage it had suffered before, reappeared like a ghost......

…… Appears thousands of kilometers away from here.
