Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 642: Melee

Among the many powerful existences present, only Xiao Yu’s attack arrived a bit late. Because Xiao Yu did not have the capability to withstand the Spatial Starburst with relatively small losses, he had no choice but to flee. Moreover, the Spatial Starburst did not seem to be a simple energy attack like a hydrogen bomb explosion. This meant that even his small universe could be affected by the Spatial Starburst. There was no other way. Xiao Yu could only lead his vast fleet in curvature flight to escape tens of billions of kilometers. After waiting for the violent energy of the Spatial Starburst to naturally decay to a level he could bear, he gritted his teeth and tanked it, then once more commanded his fleet to rush back at high speed.

From this point alone, the strength of the various civilizations was laid bare. Without doubt, Xiao Yu’s Divine Ark Civilization was the weakest among the many formidable existences present. Even so, after evading the Spatial Starburst, Xiao Yu still hurried back at speed.

Even if not for the sake of declaring his stance and not for the sake of attacking the Neutron War Star, Xiao Yu had to come here. Because his purpose for this trip had not yet been achieved. He had not obtained even a single construct from the Level 7 Civilization. Of those geometric bodies, he had gotten none.

This was something Xiao Yu could not accept. And having confirmed that the Sweepers Civilization was cultivating him like a gu insect and was unlikely to kill him now, Xiao Yu could remove the most powerful enemy from his calculations. The other civilizations, although they had the strength to defeat him, could not annihilate him with the Sphere of Death and the help of his Specter companion.

So Xiao Yu returned. On the way, he witnessed a shocking scene.

Xiao Yu saw that, perhaps to receive those returning geometric bodies, the Neutron War Star did not evade the attacks of the many powerful existences. The thick tail of the crocodilian Alien Beast lashed fiercely upon the Neutron War Star. The body of Alien Beast Taihao slammed head-on into the Neutron War Star. The long body of the python Alien Beast completely wrapped around the Neutron War Star. Specter Taihao also adhered to the Neutron War Star. Meanwhile, Technology Taihao’s Space Collapse attack and the Guardian Civilization’s various spatial attacks arrived on the Neutron War Star at the same instant.

Immediately, an astonishing phenomenon occurred.

Even with the Neutron War Star’s might, it could not endure so many attacks simultaneously. Thus Xiao Yu saw that, under the lash of the crocodilian Alien Beast’s massive tail, some neutron-star matter invisible in the visible-light band was splashed from the Neutron War Star. Having lost the tremendous compressive force of the neutron star itself, this matter rapidly exploded. Then quarks, protons, neutrons, electrons, and others began to combine freely, transforming back into the most ordinary matter in the universe, hydrogen. That was the first wave. Under Alien Beast Taihao’s collision, even more neutron-star matter was splashed out and turned into hydrogen. Then all this hydrogen was thoroughly blasted who knew where by the all-pervasive spatial weapons of Technology Taihao and the Guardian Civilization.

At this moment, the Neutron War Star seemed to want to flee, but it merely twitched and then stopped. The colossal body of the python Alien Beast had already coiled around it tightly. It could not move, unable to move, and could only stay there, receiving the fierce attacks coming from every existence.

Xiao Yu keenly noticed that among the matter splashed from the Neutron War Star there also seemed to be some strange things. Those things possessed structures with almost no error in proportion, such as a perfect sphere, a perfect cube, or a perfect triangular solid, cylindrical solid, and the like.

There were sixteen geometric bodies originating from the mechanical direction Level 7 Civilization. Under this round of attacks by the many powerful existences, Xiao Yu saw a total of thirteen geometric bodies splashed out. Obviously, at this moment the Neutron War Star had temporarily lost the ability to recover these geometric bodies.

Thus, a highly dramatic scene unfolded. The seemingly unbreakable alliance that had, a moment before, been united in shared enmity to attack the Neutron War Star shattered in an instant. Xiao Yu saw that the Guardian Civilization, by some unknown means, made its flagship the Radiance vanish in an instant and reappear right beside those geometric bodies. By some method, in the blink of an eye, three nearby geometric bodies were taken into their ship. Technology Taihao’s reaction speed was not slower than that of the Radiance, but its forward speed was much slower. It managed to seize one geometric body after the Radiance. The remaining nine geometric bodies happened to appear next to the python Alien Beast and the crocodilian Alien Beast. The crocodilian Alien Beast was luckier and took four in this instant. The python Alien Beast took one. Specter Taihao and Alien Beast Taihao each took one. The last two geometric bodies happened to arrive before one of Xiao Yu’s Planet-Class warships that had withstood the Spatial Starburst in his first offensive. Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yu opened a channel and very quickly put the two geometric bodies into his bag.

The two geometric bodies Xiao Yu collected were a sphere and a cube.

“I did not expect things to develop to this point. Time to go. Two geometric bodies are enough for my research. I have no need to get entangled with them here.” In this moment, this thought flashed swiftly through Xiao Yu’s mind. He planned to turn and leave.

But in that instant, after the thirteen splashed-out geometric bodies had been divided among the many existences present, another event occurred. Xiao Yu saw that the Guardian Civilization’s flagship the Radiance, having obtained three geometric bodies, did not retreat, did not leave the battlefield to find a safe place to study and digest the technologies contained in these geometric bodies. Instead, at this very moment, it brazenly launched an attack on Alien Beast Taihao.

It seemed Alien Beast Taihao had not anticipated being attacked by the Guardian Civilization at this time. When it was suddenly surrounded by a skyful of ships and struck by innumerable spatial weapons, it paused slightly, then flew into a rage. In the Taihao Alliance, Alien Beast Taihao was known for its irritable temper and doing things without thinking. Now, suddenly suffering such undeserved disaster, how could it bear it? It immediately counterattacked. Although its head-on collision with the Neutron War Star had inflicted considerable damage upon it, it still chose the fiercest mode of attack. Its body curled up once more into a ball and slammed violently toward the Guardian Civilization’s flagship, the Radiance.

“Divine Ark Civilization, now is the time for you to fulfill your promise. Help me hold off the crocodilian Alien Beast. The python Alien Beast will help me hold off Technology Taihao and Specter Taihao. Once I destroy Alien Beast Taihao, I will come to aid you. After destroying the Taihao Alliance, we will fairly divide the geometric bodies they possess.”

At this moment, Xiao Yu received a message from the Guardian Civilization. He thought briefly and agreed, because the request to help block the crocodilian Alien Beast aligned with his own interests. Xiao Yu had already decided in his heart to ally with the Taihao Alliance, and the crocodilian Alien Beast, whether for the Guardian Civilization or for the Taihao Alliance, was an unstable factor. Thus, this move could simultaneously curry favor with the Taihao Alliance and with the alliance of the Guardians and the python Alien Beast.

“Make it quick. Take advantage of the Neutron War Star being somewhat damaged and currently repairing itself. End the battle quickly, then we escape together.” Xiao Yu received another message from the Guardian Civilization.

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Yu charged fiercely toward the nearby crocodilian Alien Beast, and at the same time his Specter companion rushed out from the small universe.

“We will deal with the crocodilian Alien Beast together.” Xiao Yu quickly relayed the relevant orders to his Specter companion. The reply was just as concise, “No problem.”

In this split second, the melee among the great civilizations had already erupted. The Guardian Civilization and Alien Beast Taihao were battling each other. Seeing this, Technology Taihao and Specter Taihao quickly pounced toward the Guardian Civilization but were ensnared en route by the python Alien Beast and blocked from advancing. Among the three Taihao Civilizations, Alien Beast Taihao was the strongest, Specter Taihao was second, and Technology Taihao was the weakest. Among the three Alien Beasts, the python Alien Beast was the strongest. Although it fell to a disadvantage while resisting the combined efforts of Technology Taihao and Specter Taihao, it nevertheless held them up for a time, preventing them from heading to Alien Beast Taihao to jointly target the Guardian Civilization.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yu had already engaged the crocodilian Alien Beast. Under Xiao Yu’s command, tens of millions of warships swarmed densely around the crocodilian Alien Beast. Coordinating with his Specter companion, they launched a fierce attack on it.

Very unexpectedly, at the moment when the Neutron War Star had suffered damage and was temporarily unable to act, all these powerful existences gave up attacking it. This seemed strange, but after a little thought, Xiao Yu understood why.

The reason was simple. None of the powerful existences wanted to destroy the Neutron War Star at this time. This likely was not a matter of desire but a matter of ability. They knew that since there was no way to destroy the Neutron War Star, why waste time there? It was better to destroy one’s opponents quickly, seize more geometric bodies, and then escape. That was the proper course.
