Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 638: The Sweepers Appear
Under the continuous attacks of the several formidable existences present, this creation of a Level 7 Civilization finally, like a piece of glass, quietly revealed a slit, a crack.
Xiao Yu had always believed that error was impossible to eliminate. No matter how advanced a civilization became, errors could only be reduced, not erased. This theorem held for himself and also for this Level 7 Civilization in the mechanical direction.
The appearance of this crack nicely confirmed Xiao Yu’s conjecture, allowing him to be sure that the creation of this Level 7 Civilization did have errors. It was only that he could not observe them, not that the errors did not exist.
Now Xiao Yu could discover its errors with ease. For example, its two opposing faces were no longer absolutely flat and absolutely parallel, but had begun to show slight concavity and curvature. Its two opposing edges were no longer perfectly balanced and of identical length, but showed a certain degree of inequality.
“Is it already close to being destroyed? Presumably once this cuboid is broken, the secrets hidden within it will be exposed. The free-for-all among us top-tier existences of the Milky Way will also begin. Who will gain the final benefit, and who will suffer heavy losses in this melee?” Xiao Yu thought silently.
“Specter, prepare for battle. I estimate that at most two more months and we can break this thing. By then it will be time for our Divine Ark Civilization to fight with full strength. I have already prepared the Sphere of Death, ready to activate at any time. I can confirm that for all carbon-based beings, the Sphere of Death possesses incomparable lethality. Those few Alien Beasts are also within the category of carbon-based life. The only one to watch out for is Specter Taihao. If he acts against us, you hold him down. If our alliance with the Taihao group still holds, then focus on the other existences…”
“Understood, Xiao Yu.” the Specter companion replied. “I can already feel my battle fervor boiling. I have always looked forward to crossing hands with these formidable existences. Just thinking about it makes my blood surge.”
“Divine Ark Civilization, the final result is about to be revealed. I hope you will remember our agreement. Our Guardian Civilization, your Divine Ark Civilization, and the python Alien Beast, the three of us will advance and retreat together to seek the greatest benefit…” When a crack appeared on the absolute cuboid, Xiao Yu received a message from the Guardian Civilization.
“Very well. I also hope you will remember our agreement. When I seize the creation of the Level 7 Civilization, do not interfere with my actions. In any case, the creations of a Level 7 Civilization are certainly more than one. Each of us can take what we need.” Xiao Yu replied likewise.
“Divine Ark Civilization, on behalf of myself and the crocodilian Alien Beast, I will confirm the alliance information with you one last time. In the melee that is about to begin, there is no neutral party. You are either an ally or an enemy. We hope we will be allies, not fighting one another. We are all here to obtain the creations of the Level 7 Civilization, are we not? We share common interests.”
“Very well. Our Divine Ark Civilization is a civilization with a good reputation. You can rest assured of what we promised you.” Xiao Yu answered.
At the same moment, the crocodilian Alien Beast also sent a similar message to Xiao Yu.
“In this place, who knows how many schemes are intertwining with each other. Alliances everywhere, enemies everywhere, truth and falsehood mixed together. Before the final result is revealed, no one knows what they will encounter. I hope our Divine Ark Civilization can be a bit lucky…” Xiao Yu thought silently. “No one is trustworthy, no one at all…”
The fierce attacks of the several formidable existences continued. Xiao Yu even began to be secretly shocked at the terrifying defensive power of this Level 7 Civilization’s creation. He truly could not imagine what level of advanced technology was required to manufacture such a thing.
“It seems that although this Level 7 Civilization is said to be in the mechanical direction, the two words mechanical direction do not refer to mere machinery. They very likely used this outstanding mechanical thinking, using methods of precision machine manufacture to manipulate some advanced material, and in the end constructed such a thing. It makes sense. A Level 7 Civilization is, after all, a Level 7 Civilization. Although their development direction is mechanical, it can be confirmed that their attainments in space, computation, materials, physics, and so on must also surpass any Level 6 Civilization. It is just that compared with these arenas, mechanical manufacture is what they are most proficient in.”
From this aspect, Xiao Yu once again appreciated the power of the Neutron War Star. The reason was very simple. Since a Level 7 Civilization in the mechanical direction could manufacture a heaven-defying thing like this absolute rectangular cuboid, then the Neutron War Star manufactured by a Level 7 Civilization in the extreme stellar body direction could not possibly be weaker than these things.
“For tens of millions of years roaming the Milky Way and always standing at its peak, the Sweepers Civilization and the Neutron War Star are indeed powerful. Only, the Sweepers Civilization has obtained just one weapon of a Level 7 Civilization and is already so formidable. Then how powerful is a genuine Level 7 Civilization? The entire Milky Way is a water well. We who think ourselves strong, whether the Sweepers Civilization or the Taihao Civilization or me, are all frogs at the bottom of this well, using only that bit of sky we can see to roughly conjecture the mode of existence and the power of a Level 7 Civilization. The future holds infinite possibilities. To possess these possibilities, the first step is to leave the galaxy and truly see the vast world outside…”
The fierce assault continued, and finally a second crack appeared on the body of the cuboid. Yet the material used to construct this thing seemed to possess extraordinary toughness. It never shattered open directly as Xiao Yu had imagined.
And because it did not shatter, the top-tier existences of the Milky Way surrounding it could not peer into the secrets contained within it, so the attacks could not stop.
With the appearance of the second crack, after five days of fierce attack, a third crack appeared. After the third came the fourth, the fifth…
By now, at least eighty-seven cracks had appeared on its surface. These cracks crisscrossed densely, like venomous snakes crawling over its body. Yet it still did not shatter.
The prolonged assault even made a trace of impatience arise in Xiao Yu’s heart. This thing was simply too tenacious, to a degree beyond Xiao Yu’s imagination. He felt that his earlier estimate of two months had been too optimistic. As things stood, it might take half a year or even a year.
Xiao Yu believed the other formidable existences on the battlefield must have had the same thought. During this period, everyone’s attacks had started to become somewhat mechanical and rigid, and no one sent him messages about alliances anymore. The attacks on the battlefield were still fierce, yet there was a feeling as if robots were doing the fighting.
In such a situation, Xiao Yu suddenly felt a palpitation. At the same time, his Specter companion sent him a message at extreme speed, “I sense it, I sense it. It is the Neutron War Star, absolutely the Neutron War Star. The Sweepers Civilization has arrived.”
“The Sweepers Civilization, is it? You have finally come.” Xiao Yu’s mind snapped taut, and his detection instruments suddenly pointed toward the direction from which this vast aura was arriving.
The several formidable existences in the field seemed to sense this aura at the same time. In that instant, the intensity of their attacks on the cuboid at the core of the battlefield decreased greatly. Yet none of them retreated. They all seemed to be waiting for something.
In an atmosphere laced with tension, gravity, silence, and oppression, Xiao Yu’s detection instruments detected this object.
This object was invisible in the visible-light band, but extremely bright in the X-ray band. This meant it possessed an extremely high energy level. Its arrival caused layered ripples in space, which meant it had extremely high mass, to the extent that even space was obviously affected. Yet the surrounding stars were not affected at all. They still moved quietly along their own orbits. This meant that this massive stellar body had screened off its own gravity.
This was without a doubt the Neutron War Star. The only entity in the Milky Way that possessed complete combat power, allowing the Sweepers Civilization to dominate the galaxy for tens of millions of years, the Neutron War Star had finally arrived.
Through detection in the X-ray band, Xiao Yu saw for the first time this famed and nearly thunderously renowned weapon of war in the Milky Way. It was small, about the size of one of Xiao Yu’s Province-Class or City-Class ships, yet it was also enormous, for it possessed mass no less than that of a sun. Just like that, carrying an air of supremacy that looked down on all and scorned everything, it arrived, coming to the place where the relics of the Level 7 Civilization in the mechanical direction were stored.
Xiao Yu saw the Neutron War Star charging straight ahead at extreme speed by conventional flight. Perhaps shocked, the crocodilian Alien Beast that had been blocking its path did not react in time. Only at the instant before the two collided did the crocodilian Alien Beast let out a sharp cry and dodge away. The Neutron War Star ignored the fleeing crocodilian Alien Beast. It continued forward, ever forward, and in the end collided with that cuboid left behind by the Level 7 Civilization in the mechanical direction.
The cuboid that had been battered by the top-tier existences of the Milky Way for such a long time, only to develop a few cracks, suddenly shattered under this single impact from the Neutron War Star, breaking into myriad fragments. In the next instant, many strange things spattered out.
