Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 632: Rectangular Cuboid
Xiao Yu was not surprised that the Specter Race could sense certain signals there while his probes could not. After all, the probes were relatively crude things. These powerful existences had ten thousand ways to deceive his probes and prevent themselves from being detected.
After confirming the coordinates of that bearing, Xiao Yu maneuvered his vast fleet and rapidly flew toward that place. Xiao Yu did not care how these top existences of the Milky Way Galaxy knew that the ruins of a Level 7 Civilization were there. Xiao Yu cared only about the ruins of the Level 7 Civilization themselves.
“The Galactic Center’s environment is too chaotic, and in addition they are all in a calm state right now, with no conflict breaking out. So even through the Specter Race’s special sensing methods, it is still very difficult to sense them.” the Specter companion said. “Fortunately I advanced to a Level 4 Specter. Otherwise I truly would not have been able to sense their auras.”
“They are all in a calm period.” This sentence set Xiao Yu to pondering. “Technology Taihao and the Guardian Civilization seem to have some grudge. And Specter told me that the Alien Beast Taihao once struck the Crocodilian Alien Beast a grievous blow. Also, the Technological Civilization and the Alien Beast Civilization seem to be incompatible like water and fire. These existences are actually all calm there and have not crossed hands. That is very strange.”
“Unless it is because they are restraining one another. Precisely because there are grudges between them, they dare not act rashly. They cannot confirm how a third-party civilization would choose once they struck at their enemy. Would it help them or seize the chance to beat a drowning dog. That implies a certain risk. Under such circumstances, maintaining calm is the best choice. It also means that even if I join in, the situation there will still not change. That is good news for me. However, why has the Sweepers Civilization not come. As the most powerful Level 6 Civilization and the one most likely to advance to Level 7, the Sweepers cannot possibly have no interest in the ruins of a Level 7 Civilization. Have they already arrived and the Specter cannot sense them, or is there another reason.”
Over these few days of travel, Xiao Yu thought of many things and analyzed many things.
That place was only a little more than three light-years from Xiao Yu’s original station. This distance was nothing to Xiao Yu now. In less than nine days after setting out, Xiao Yu arrived and saw with his own eyes the powerful existences gathered there.
At a glance Xiao Yu saw that gigantic spaceship like a planet, its whole body emitting light that seemed to contain some mysterious implications. Xiao Yu knew this was Technology Taihao’s flagship, the Meson.
To this day, Xiao Yu still did not know whether Technology Taihao was an individual civilization akin to an Alien Beast or a Technological Civilization with a complete social structure. But Xiao Yu knew that Technology Taihao certainly possessed formidable strength.
This was the third time Xiao Yu had seen the Meson. The first time was when he was still weak. With the help of the half four-dimensional Taihao, Xiao Yu obtained a bit of information from the information storm caused by a black hole explosion. It was precisely this bit of information that allowed Xiao Yu to confirm the tremendous role Technology Taihao had played in the appearance of humanity. The second time he saw the Meson was around the broken Neutron War Star left behind by that silicon-based civilization, when Xiao Yu saw a battle between the Meson and the Guardian Civilization’s Radiance. Now, here, Xiao Yu once again saw it.
What was different was that Xiao Yu was no longer what he had been. With the Specter companion, and with his own true promotion to a Level 6 Civilization, Xiao Yu believed he now had the qualification and strength to truly stand before Technology Taihao.
“I have many questions I want to ask you, Technology Taihao.” Xiao Yu murmured to himself as he maneuvered his fleet, continued to move forward slowly, and finally stopped at a point.
Besides Technology Taihao, Xiao Yu also saw other powerful existences. The Guardian Civilization’s Radiance, with which he had had a passing encounter. The Specter Taihao, which had once impersonated the previous generation Specter Race and taught him some things. The Alien Beast Taihao, whom he had never met. And two other powerful Level 6 Alien Beasts.
The Crocodilian Alien Beast and the Python Alien Beast. From the first glance, Xiao Yu knew that both were stronger than the Arboreal Race Alien Beast at its peak. Among the two, the Python Alien Beast was the strongest. From it there continuously emanated an aura that seemed cold and also cunning, letting Xiao Yu understand that the Python Alien Beast not only possessed formidable strength but also possessed wisdom, or rather a scheming nature, that Alien Beast Civilizations generally lacked.
The situation was indeed as the Specter companion had said. The several powerful existences present all maintained a calm state. No war occurred, no clash occurred. Even Xiao Yu’s arrival did not produce much change in the situation. These powerful existences not only did not show hostility toward Xiao Yu, but the Crocodilian Alien Beast that had originally been too close to Xiao Yu even quietly moved a little farther away, as if unwilling to be too close and provoke Xiao Yu to attack it.
“So it is indeed mutual restraint.” Xiao Yu muttered to himself. “The Crocodilian Alien Beast is, to the Guardian Civilization, a moving lump of high-grade precious materials. It also has a grudge with the Taihao Alliance. Yet it does not dare strike at anyone because it worries that the Guardian Civilization will join with the Taihao Alliance to kill it. Similarly, the Guardian Civilization also does not dare strike at anyone, because it fears that the remaining civilizations will join together to deal with it. In this cautious mutual watchfulness, the situation becomes so calm.”
“The Sweepers Civilization truly has not appeared here. Where have they gone. Are they waiting for a certain opportunity, intending to suddenly appear at some critical moment, or do they have another plan. How should I respond to the situation now.”
“No matter what, I have always maintained a surface peace with the Taihao Alliance. These powerful existences all know the countless complicated ties between me and the Taihao Alliance. In outsiders’ eyes, I and the Taihao Alliance are together and at least will not attack each other. Then I should take advantage of this and release a bit of goodwill toward the Taihao Civilizations. I believe that under the present situation, the Taihao Alliance would be glad to accept me as a strong reinforcement.”
Thinking this, Xiao Yu quietly shifted the position of his warship group and drew a little closer to the Taihao Alliance. The Alien Beast Taihao sensed this change. Its immense body moved slightly, and a brutal, overbearing aura spread out. It seemed eager to try striking at Xiao Yu. But for some unknown reason, in the next moment it quieted down again and ignored Xiao Yu’s approach.
Thus Xiao Yu finally drew up beside the Taihao Alliance. The remaining two Alien Beasts and the Guardian Civilization still remained scattered.
“It seems the low intelligence of the Alien Beast Civilization is a real thing. Clearly, within the Taihao Alliance, although the Alien Beast Taihao is the strongest in power, it has the lowest status. It is always commanded by the other two Taihaos. The Python Alien Beast seems to be an exception, but I do not know to what degree its intelligence reaches, and whether it can stand shoulder to shoulder with a Technological Civilization.”
“Besides the surface alliance between me and the Taihao Alliance, I do not know whether there is any alliance structure between these two Alien Beasts and the Guardian Civilization. Could those two Alien Beasts have formed an alliance. I, my Specter companion, and the alliance formed with these three Taihaos already constitute one of the top existences within the Milky Way Galaxy. Although I do not know whether we can oppose the Sweepers, the Guardian Civilization is certainly not our match. Only, to have contended with the Sweepers Civilization for tens of millions of years, the Guardian Civilization must also have its own trump cards. Moreover, if those two Alien Beasts formed an alliance, their strength would surpass mine, though still not the match of the Taihao Alliance, yet it would still be enough to exert a huge impact on us. Most importantly, the Sweepers Civilization has never appeared. Hmm, the present situation is indeed chaotic.”
“At this moment, counting me, there are eight powerful existences in the vicinity. If the Sweepers appear as well, then all the high-end forces of the Milky Way Galaxy will be complete. It is foreseeable that the coming struggle will definitely be the fiercest struggle in the history of the Milky Way Galaxy, far outstripping even the war when the half four-dimensional Taihao incited all the Technological Civilizations of the galaxy to besiege the Sweepers. In this war, who will laugh last? Who will obtain the greatest benefit?”
“At last there is such a day. I can also, by relying on my own strength, participate in such a battle.”
After carefully and thoroughly observing the situation on site, Xiao Yu finally focused his attention on the core of this region.
After adjusting the precision of the optical equipment to the highest, Xiao Yu saw something very strange in appearance.
It was a true rectangular cuboid. It seemed to have a mirror-like surface, but it did not reflect any light or radiation other than visible light. It also did not emit any light or radiation itself, at least none that Xiao Yu detected. Even with Xiao Yu’s current technological level, he could only barely discover its existence through faint reflections of visible light.
A total of eight powerful existences thus quietly scattered around this rectangular cuboid and, together with its orbital path, revolved around the Milky Way Galaxy’s central black hole.
