Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 636: The Ruin Opens

“Yes, we have witnessed your growth with our own eyes, watching you go from a weak existence to a powerful force that can truly influence the situation of the Milky Way. Going forward, I will change our strategy. We are allies, and no longer in a relationship of controller and controlled. After this incident ends, any doubts you have, as long as we can answer them, we will help you answer them all.” Technology Taihao replied.

“Very good. The three Taihao Civilizations, plus me, a technological civilization equivalent to a Level 6 intermediate civilization and even a bit beyond, and a Level 4 Specter equivalent to a Level 6 Alien Beast. Our alliance is already the most powerful force at present.” Xiao Yu said. Xiao Yu did not conceal the existence of the Specter Race, because the existence of the Specter Race would absolutely not be a secret to the Taihao Alliance. They must have known long ago.

Xiao Yu ultimately chose to form an alliance with the Taihao Alliance. As for the Guardians, the python Alien Beast, and the crocodilian Alien Beast, he chose to agree deceptively across the board. Xiao Yu had sufficient reasons to make this choice, and making this choice was not because of sentiment, such as the Taihao Civilization having helped him in the past. It was purely an analysis made under rationality.

The reason was very simple. The Guardian Civilization said they had formed an alliance with the python Alien Beast, while the python Alien Beast said it had formed an alliance with the crocodilian Alien Beast. Yet the crocodilian Alien Beast said it had formed an alliance with the python Alien Beast and Alien Beast Taihao. Three existences, three statements. By comparison, the Taihao Alliance side was much more consistent. Specter Taihao and Alien Beast Taihao had not sent any messages to him. Only Technology Taihao, as the representative of the Taihao Alliance, discussed the alliance with him.

So it was obvious who was credible and who was not. Adding in the intricate ties he had always had with the Taihao Alliance, as well as his speculation that the Taihao Alliance was unlikely to strike at him, Xiao Yu in his heart finally chose the Taihao Alliance as his ally.

Of course, there was a certain risk. For example, if what the Guardian Civilization said was true, if the Taihao Alliance really planned to strike at him and eliminate him to inflict even heavier damage on the Sweepers Civilization, then Xiao Yu would have no choice but to use the Sphere of Death to escape with all his might. However, compared with allying with the Taihao Alliance, the risks of allying with the Guardians or with the two Alien Beasts were greater.

The field thus maintained a peculiar stalemate. Xiao Yu knew these formidable existences could not have extended an olive branch only to him. There would be many probes among them as well, schemes and intrigues against one another. Beneath this seemingly calm situation, who knew how many surging undercurrents were flowing wantonly.

Xiao Yu also began to comprehensively sort through the information he had obtained thus far. About the Sweepers, about the Taihao Alliance, about himself, and about his significance to the Sweepers Civilization.

Xiao Yu believed that what the python Alien Beast had said, the statement that he was a kind of gu-like insect for the Sweepers Civilization, had a high degree of credibility. This could explain many things and matched current intelligence. At the same time, it could also explain the Taihao Alliance’s ambiguous attitude toward him.

The reason was very simple. No one could predict to what extent he would grow, and there was also that unknown power in the unseen. This power determined that if the Sweepers Civilization eliminated him, they could advance to a Level 7 Civilization. Then would this unknown power also cause the Taihao Alliance, which had been cultivating him all along, to advance to a Level 7 Civilization if he eliminated the Sweepers?

These were things that could not be said for certain. But Xiao Yu thought it very possible, and this was likely the reason the Taihao Alliance had been cultivating him. At the same time, this reason could also explain why the Taihao Alliance first enticed the Arboreal Race Alien Beast to deal with him, intending thereby to drag back the Sweepers Civilization, and then, at the critical period when the Sweepers Civilization was fighting the spatial lifeform, chose instead to help the Sweepers Civilization and destroy the spatial lifeform.

The reason was very simple. Occasionally dragging back the Sweepers Civilization and weakening the Sweepers Civilization’s power would have certain benefits for his eventual victory and would also be somewhat beneficial to the Taihao Alliance. But the Sweepers Civilization could only be destroyed by him. Therefore, at that critical moment, the Taihao Alliance instead chose to help the Sweepers.

“The corpse of the Micron Civilization… The Taihao Alliance has already pointed out to me the direction to destroy the Neutron War Star, and as long as the Neutron War Star, a creation of a Level 7 Civilization in the extreme stellar body direction, is destroyed, I think the Sweepers’ conventional combat strength simply cannot withstand the Taihao Alliance and me. Then the corpse of the Micron Civilization is a key point. After this incident ends, I should perhaps set out to look for this thing.” Xiao Yu thought silently.

Xiao Yu knew that the form of existence of the Micron Civilization was not much different from his own. Both were souls combined with something alien. The difference was that he had combined with a computer and embarked on the road of developing technology, whereas the Micron Civilization had combined with a meteorite and embarked on the road of strengthening itself. As for what exactly the corpse of the Micron Civilization was, Xiao Yu could make some rough speculations.

Xiao Yu believed that the corpse of the Micron Civilization was very likely an existence with a dense structure similar to a white dwarf or a neutron star. For certain reasons, after he found the corpse of the Micron Civilization, he would be able to control it. He thought this key point should lie with his Specter companion. Because Specter Taihao and the Micron Civilization were originally a pair, their relationship was similar to his relationship with his Specter companion. Now that Specter Taihao was no longer a pure Specter, his own Specter companion was extremely critical.

And Xiao Yu was certain that by controlling a dense star similar to a white dwarf or a neutron star to strike the Neutron War Star, he would definitely be able to destroy the Neutron War Star. This had already been confirmed when he destroyed that damaged Neutron War Star of the Silicon-based civilization. Even if the merger of a white dwarf and a neutron star was still insufficient to form a black hole to swallow everything, the collision and merger of two dense stellar bodies would cause violent oscillations. Whether in internal or external structure, earthshaking changes would occur. Such violent change would absolutely destroy all artificial constructs inside the neutron star.

“The Specter companion is a key point, and the corpse of the Micron Civilization is another key point. I simply do not know whether the Sweepers Civilization is aware of this, whether they know I am searching for the corpse of the Micron Civilization. If they do know, what plans and countermeasures will they make?”

Xiao Yu was silently contemplating all this, thinking about problems he might face in the future and the current situation.

Time passed bit by bit. Another roughly one hundred years went by. Xiao Yu’s reserve of warships had reached the number of four hundred million. Xiao Yu knew that this number of warships had fully surpassed the number owned by even a Level 6 peak civilization. Xiao Yu believed that now, even without relying on his Specter companion, he could contend for a period of time against the Guardian Civilization’s conventional forces.

Time flowed slowly. At this moment, Xiao Yu received a message from Technology Taihao.

“Xiao Yu, get ready for battle. The ruin is about to reach the time to open…”

“Is that so?” Xiao Yu murmured, taking fifty million warships out of the small universe. All fifty million of these warships were manufactured from the flesh and blood of the Arboreal Race Alien Beast. Among them were one hundred Planet-Class warships, over one thousand Continent-Class warships, and tens of thousands of Nation-Class warships. This was the most powerful combat strength Xiao Yu could bring out. Xiao Yu also notified his Specter companion, who had been hiding in the small universe, to make ready for battle.

During this period, the situation in the field had been quietly changing all along. For Xiao Yu now, apart from his Specter companion and the warships in his own hands, no one could be trusted. The Taihao Alliance could only be trusted to a certain extent. In Xiao Yu’s view, anyone could have formed an alliance with another unknown existence. As for these existences, who had formed an alliance with whom, who had truly formed an alliance, and who was merely going through the motions, Xiao Yu had no idea at all.

Based on deduction alone, Xiao Yu thought the possibility that the two Alien Beasts had formed an alliance was a bit higher. The Guardian Civilization might also be acting independently, or it might have reached certain agreements with Technology Taihao.

At this moment, Technology Taihao sent a message to all existences present.

This message was sent by broadcast rather than published in encrypted form, so all the existences on the scene could clearly receive it.

“The ruin of a Level 7 Civilization in the mechanical direction is about to open. But according to previous intelligence, even if it opens, we will still need to rely on our own power to break its defenses. At that time, our attacks on it will no longer be met with counterattacks by Level 7 Civilization weapons. So let us first work together to break this kind of defense. Then whatever each of us gains will depend on our own means.”

“Agreed.” Xiao Yu, the Guardian Civilization, the python Alien Beast, and the crocodilian Alien Beast simultaneously sent out a broadcast message to state their positions.

“Then let us begin.” As Technology Taihao spoke, he took the lead in launching his own attack on that perfect rectangular cuboid at the core of the scene. Xiao Yu saw many instruments operating aboard the Meson spaceship of Technology Taihao. Some places on the Meson spaceship sank inward while others bulged outward. Many kinds of weapons appeared on the surface of the Meson spaceship. In the next instant, fierce cannon fire had already rushed toward that cuboid.

At the same time, all the formidable existences in the field launched their attacks.
