Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones-Chapter 275: Can’t Afford to Provoke

"Continuing to attack each other will not benefit either your side or ours.

Since that is the case, why not cease hostilities and make peace?

The star belongs to you; I guarantee I will no longer launch attacks against you. Everything outside the star belongs to me, and you must also guarantee not to attack me again.

Otherwise, I don’t mind creating more hydrogen bomb ships to carry out star-cleansing activities. Even if you can rebuild, you will undoubtedly suffer heavy casualties."

From a rational perspective, Tom knew that everything he said was the absolute truth.

It was clearly you who attacked me first, and I was forced to counterattack.

The battle between our two sides has brought nothing but immense casualties to both parties.

No two rational civilizations could possibly engage in such a conflict.

It’s still the same question: why not have peace?

The star belongs to you, the planets belong to us. Everyone coexists peacefully. How good would that be?

Before long, Tom filtered out a faint electromagnetic wave fluctuation from the powerful and chaotic radiation of Lyra G16.

Clearly, the Electromagnetic Disaster creatures were still communicating by manipulating stellar radiation.

"Kill, kill, kill!

Kill all technological intelligent civilizations!

Either you are completely annihilated, or we are completely annihilated!

Even if you escape this solar system, we will follow you. Wherever you go, we will go, unending!"

Hiss...

Tom gasped.

What kind of grudge is this?

Frankly, after several star-cleansings failed to yield results, Tom did have the idea of abandoning this solar system and developing in other star systems instead.

It wasn’t to avoid the Mechanical Disaster; after all, with the emergence of the stellar life characteristics caused by the Electromagnetic Disaster, his coordinates were almost certainly exposed, so fleeing further would be of little use.

The only purpose of moving to other star systems was to shake off this Electromagnetic Disaster so that he could develop undisturbed.

From time to time, a highly concentrated stellar light beam would shoot over, and Tom really couldn’t take it.

How could he develop like this?

If I can’t provoke them, I can at least hide, right? That should be acceptable?

But now it seems this Electromagnetic Disaster isn’t planning to let him go...

Once they leave the star, they can indeed be easily eliminated by him. But if they don’t attack him, and just follow from afar, hiding, the universe is so vast that he can’t possibly find and eliminate them one by one.

Upon reaching a new solar system, if they rush towards the star, he really can’t stop them.

Damn it, I’m really entangled with these things...

No wonder the Havilah Civilization tried to domesticate them for over a thousand years without success. Are these guys all blockheads?

Tom gritted his teeth and sent another message: "Are you guys all idiots? What good does fighting me do for you?"

"Kill, kill, kill... Kill all technological intelligent civilizations..."

"Alright, alright, you’re forcing my hand, are you?"

Rage surged in Tom’s heart: "Since that’s the case, don’t blame me..."

In the vast sky, a massive fleet was advancing rapidly at 60% of the speed of light.

The exterior of every large spaceship glowed with a pale yellow energy shield, blocking all dust particles in interstellar space and significantly weakening the intensity of high-energy interstellar radiation, firmly protecting the spaceship hull within the shield.

Tens of thousands of large habitat ships, hundreds of gigantic aerospace carriers, and countless transport ships, industrial ships, and so on, together formed this enormous fleet.

However, although this fleet was massive, it appeared rather dilapidated. There were obvious signs of damage on the ships, and some damaged areas had not even been repaired, just sealing off the relevant compartments to barely maintain functionality.

Inside the Honor, the flagship of the entire massive fleet, Head of State Heimerlan stood quietly before a huge porthole, silently watching the rotation of the galaxy caused by the ship’s own rotation.

A secretary quietly approached and respectfully stood behind Heimerlan. It wasn’t until Heimerlan turned around and gestured that the secretary respectfully said: "The long-range observation department has observed a second outburst on Lyra G16 approximately five minutes ago. Its type of outburst is consistent with the previous one, but the outburst energy is greater.

After comprehensive calculations, research personnel have confirmed that the cause of this stellar outburst is still very likely an external hydrogen bomb attack, but the total yield has increased to approximately 1.5 quintillion tons of TNT."

Heimerlan nodded slightly, indicating he understood.

With the arrival of this news, his heart relaxed slightly.

Indeed, facing the Electromagnetic Disaster, Human Civilization had also embarked on the same path as their own civilization once did.

However, this path is a dead end.

It is impossible to either destroy those Electromagnetic Disaster creatures or force them to surrender using this method.

If it were possible, our civilization would not have just secretly dispatched a sub-fleet into the star system occupied by the Electromagnetic Disaster, quietly captured some Electromagnetic Life, and then fled. The civilization’s main fleet didn’t even dare to enter, or even approach that star system...

Now, Human Civilization has indeed been firmly entangled within the Lyra G16 Solar System, completely unable to escape.

Since that’s the case, their side no longer needs to worry about being caught up; their side is completely safe now...

"Finally, we can choose a solar system and recuperate," Heimerlan said calmly.

"Convene a meeting of the civilization’s high-ranking officials to select a suitable star as the destination for our current interstellar voyage."

"Yes."

But before the civilization’s high-ranking officials arrived, another secretary rushed into his office, looking somewhat flustered.

"Head of State, the Interstellar Defense Department reports that just five minutes ago, they observed an unknown flash of light approximately 0.1 light-years from our fleet, suspected to be a fleet’s exhaust plume!"

"What?"

At this moment, even Heimerlan, who had weathered countless storms, became nervous.

Their fleet was severely damaged, with insufficient warships, insufficient supplies, many ships yet to be repaired, and heavy population losses. They truly could not sustain another interstellar war.

"Order our fleet to immediately enter silent mode, shut down all engines, shut down all external radiation, and at the same time, mobilize all observation forces to observe that flash of light and confirm their heading, speed, and scale"

"Yes"

The entire Havilah fleet plunged into tension and panic.

Before long, further observation results were presented to Heimerlan.

"The opposing fleet’s speed relative to the cosmic microwave background radiation has reached 73% of the speed of light, and the fleet’s scale is at least three times that of our fleet.

At the same time... they are approaching us at a relative speed of approximately 3,000 kilometers per second!"
