Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones-Chapter 413: Found Them?
He saw quite obvious and numerous applications of C-shaped lines on the exterior of the spacecraft, and the overall construction style of the spacecraft was relatively rounded, with fewer sharp angles...
Although it did not completely match the construction style of the Grey Worm Civilization that the Recorder Civilization had given him, based on a comprehensive judgment, it was at least sixty to seventy percent similar!
Tom’s heart gradually grew heavy.
This gravitational level intelligent civilization, even if it was not the Grey Worm Civilization, must be related to the Grey Worm Civilization!
Could it be... that what he had been searching for was found unexpectedly?
Tom’s decision immediately changed. The preparations made for departure continued, but the heading was directly pointed towards this solar system.
Since there was a clue related to the Grey Worm Civilization, then this Star Beast Disaster... he would have to confront it!
During warp navigation at 3.3 times the speed of light, Tom’s massive fleet rapidly approached this star. It did not exit warp navigation until it was only 1.6 light-years away from the star, and switched to conventional navigation.
Then, the overall deceleration maneuver of the fleet immediately began.
Countless engines lit up together, beginning to spray high-temperature plasma at a speed of over 200,000 kilometers per second to the outside world, propelling the entire fleet to decelerate rapidly.
Such a fierce tail flame would certainly be detected by the two entities within the solar system. But at this moment, Tom no longer cared at all.
Anyway, he was going to intervene in this war regardless, so since that was the case, he would do it openly!
With the maneuverability of Tom’s fleet at this moment, it would only take about 3 years to enter the solar system.
During the fierce deceleration maneuver, Tom saw that within the solar system, in the war around that large rocky planet, the Star Beast groups showed no change, while the actions of the intelligent life side suddenly became cautious.
They gave up attempts to break out and open up a passage between the planet and the outside, and strengthened their defense.
Tom also knew their intentions.
It was nothing more than at this moment, for them, he was an unknown entity, so they would first observe and wait for changes.
"Even if this is the real Grey Worm Civilization, and it has indeed been infected and transformed into a Demonic Eye, as long as they still have basic intelligence, the next step should be to try to communicate with me..."
Tom thought faintly: "In any case, my external manifestation is always a legitimate intelligent civilization, not a Star Beast. In their absolute disadvantage, uniting with me, a strong reinforcement, to seek a chance of survival is an inevitable choice."
At this moment, the two sides were still far apart, and because they had not exchanged superluminal communication terminals, they could not communicate superluminally, so there was no communication for the time being.
But a Star Beast team arrived first.
Only then did Tom truly see what the Star Beasts, worthy of being called a disaster, looked like.
When they were curled up, they resembled round asteroids, but when they unfolded, their bodies somewhat resembled birds, with structures that seemed to be giant wings, bodies, and heads.
But whether those were truly heads and bodies, and what role they played in the bodies of the Star Beasts, Tom did not know for the time being.
Their body length was generally over 200 meters, and their mass was at least several thousand tons. The larger ones even had body lengths of several kilometers, and their mass was probably tens of millions of tons, comparable to Tom’s Jupiter-class battleship.
In the distance, Tom also saw even larger Star Beasts.
They were so large that they could be seen with optical telescopes even at a distance of hundreds of billions of kilometers. Based on this estimate, their body length was probably tens of kilometers, and their own mass was tens of billions of tons!
This was already comparable to a real small planet.
However, there were no such giant entities in the Star Beast team that came this time. The largest ones were only a few kilometers long, and the total number was only about a few hundred.
Tom attempted to send some information to these ferocious and huge Star Beasts, trying various communication modes, but failed to get a response.
"Perhaps these Star Beasts really have no intelligence, only instinct, or they have intelligence, but our legitimate intelligent civilization life cannot understand it...
Regardless, there is no way to communicate, so we can only fight."
At a distance of several million kilometers, this group of Star Beasts all unfurled their bodies, and various parts all surged with structures that seemed like tumors. The tops suddenly burst open, and scorching energy cannon balls with a speed of over ten thousand kilometers per second bombarded them.
Some tumors also released light like lasers, and invisible gravitational waves. Even more ferocious Star Beasts did not stop at all, nor did they release any attacks, but directly crashed into them fiercely.
Some Star Beasts fiercely vibrated their bodies, and clusters of mist-like things emanated from them, as if they had their own life and intelligence, either lurking quietly in the starry sky or sweeping towards Tom’s fleet.
Those tiny substances seemed to contain huge energy. This was... a Star Beast version of a space mine?
Even more Star Beasts did not have tumors on their bodies, but rather finger-like things. Once they grew mature, those "fingers" would spray fierce flames and leave their bodies, charging towards Tom’s battleships with extremely high acceleration.
All sorts of incredible attack methods opened Tom’s eyes.
This was his first encounter with a true Star Beast Disaster, and Tom maintained sufficient caution.
The battleships on the periphery of the main fleet all lit up their energy shields and Gravity Shields, covering themselves while also providing sufficient protection for the other spacecraft further inside. A fleet of 3,000 ships, led by a Mars-class battleship, surged forward, actively launching an attack on those massive Star Beasts.
Endless explosions erupted in this patch of the starry sky. During the fierce collisions and energy release processes, several battleships were instantly destroyed.
"The offensive of these Star Beasts is quite fierce."
The attack from Tom also poured onto those Star Beasts.
Tom did not see the light of energy shields, but those extremely powerful energy projectiles failed to penetrate the flesh and blood of these Star Beasts.
Even the gravitational pull of Gravity Cannons could not cause damage to the Star Beasts.
"Resisting attacks solely with physical strength? No, that’s impossible. No material can withstand this kind of attack, not even Strong Nuclear material.
Hmm, I understand... This is actually also an energy and gravity shield, but this shield is integrated into their body surface, becoming one with their bodies."
Tom narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to observe the battlefield.
He saw dozens of clearly more "robust" Star Beasts crashing into his fleet of spacecraft. With a single collision, they sent a Mercury-class battleship tumbling, flying tens of thousands of kilometers away, with its hull severely damaged.
Another massive Star Beast grew something similar to hands and claws, grabbed a battleship, and twisted it forcefully, causing the battleship to explode directly.
Some Star Beasts also had their surface defenses broken under his fierce attack and were then torn apart by violent explosions.
The battle with these few hundred Star Beasts lasted for several days, and finally ended with over eighty percent being annihilated and less than twenty percent escaping.
Those escaping Star Beasts did not leave too far, but were still launching harassing attacks at a distance from the main fleet.
More scattered Star Beasts from all over the solar system were also converging here.
"Overall, the combat power of these Star Beasts is quite formidable. From the perspective of intelligent civilization, their ’technology’ level is not below mine.
However, it doesn’t matter. Although the level of technology is important, for me, it is not important enough to determine the outcome of a full-scale war..."
Tom was dealing with the situation while carrying out the deceleration maneuver, completely unaffected.
