Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 644: The Radiance’s Strength

Only when the Radiance suddenly appeared beside Xiao Yu’s flagship, the Earth, did Xiao Yu suddenly figure everything out and understand it all.

Xiao Yu understood what had really been happening when the Guardian Civilization, the crocodilian Alien Beast, and the python Alien Beast had each contacted him to seek an alliance, and when each had named a different ally. Previously, Xiao Yu had thought this was the product of their mutual scheming and deception. He had not expected that it was merely a smokescreen whose purpose was to keep him from imagining that the three had long since formed an alliance, so they could catch him off guard now.

The target of the Guardian Civilization had been fixed on Xiao Yu from the very beginning. All the previous deception and plotting were for this very moment. Now the Guardian Civilization had basically achieved its goal. Technology Taihao and Specter Taihao were being held by the python Alien Beast. Alien Beast Taihao was heavily wounded and was toyed with by the Guardian Civilization. The crocodilian Alien Beast had already blocked Xiao Yu’s Specter companion. Now the flagship of the Guardian Civilization, the Radiance, had personally appeared beside the Earth.

In Xiao Yu’s classification, the Radiance already fell into the category of a Star-Class warship, while the Earth was only a Planet-Class warship. In size alone, the two flagships differed enormously, to say nothing of how many technologies the Guardian Civilization’s flagship possessed that Xiao Yu had never mastered.

The Earth was simply no match for the Radiance. Even a hundred Earth-class warships resisting the Radiance’s assault would already be remarkable.

At this moment a chill rose from Xiao Yu’s heart. In an instant he thought of many things, from himself being raised by the Sweepers Civilization like a gu insect, to the Taihao Civilization cultivating him, to the Sweepers Civilization attempting to eliminate him at his strongest, and to the Guardian Civilization relentlessly hunting him without letup. Now Xiao Yu strung all these clues together on a single line.

Xiao Yu reached a terrifying conclusion. The Guardian Civilization intended to gain certain benefits by eliminating him and at the same time slow the Sweepers Civilization’s steps toward advancing to a Level 7 Civilization. Moreover, the Guardian Civilization did not fear the Sweepers Civilization’s threat, nor did it fear reprisals for obstructing the Sweepers Civilization’s advancement. The answer was obvious. The Guardian Civilization had opposed the Sweepers Civilization for tens of millions of years. If it were possible, the Sweepers Civilization would have eliminated the Guardian Civilization long ago. The only reason it had never done so was that it could not.

That was right. The Sweepers Civilization could not do it. Although the Neutron War Star was incomparably powerful and had never met an opponent in the Milky Way, and even pressed the Guardian Civilization so hard that it was forced to consider a massive construction to flee to other galaxies, the Sweepers Civilization could not eliminate the Guardian Civilization. The Guardian Civilization had proved this completely with its tens of millions of years of resistance.

Now was an excellent opportunity for the Guardians. In this incident the Guardian Civilization had allied with the crocodilian Alien Beast and the python Alien Beast. These two Alien Beasts had completely tied down the Taihao Alliance and Xiao Yu’s Specter companion. The Sweepers’ Neutron War Star had also temporarily lost mobility due to sustaining some damage. There could be no better opportunity. So the Guardian Civilization acted decisively.

The flagship of a formidable existence that had been within the Level 6 Civilization category for tens of millions of years used a four-dimensional jump, a completely unguardable method, to approach Xiao Yu’s flagship. Perhaps the Guardian Civilization already knew that Xiao Yu was a mechanical-like civilization. As long as the Earth was blown up, the task of eliminating the entire Divine Ark Civilization would be complete. Their target selection was precise and the blow to Xiao Yu was deadly.

As the Radiance reached the Earth’s side, Xiao Yu felt a violent spatial fluctuation occurring in the space where the Earth was located. Xiao Yu saw a black curtain full of terror appearing around the Earth, rapidly wrapping the entire Earth. At the same time, a large number of black lines flashed continuously around the Earth, like black lightning crisscrossing the universe, filled with the aura of death and dread.

Xiao Yu knew clearly what this was, what attack method it was, and he understood what fate would befall the Earth once it was wrapped by this black curtain.

“This must be the most powerful ultimate weapon hidden by the Radiance. The principle of this weapon is to use some means to completely strip a region of space out of the main universe, turning that region into a small universe. After being separated from the main universe, because that small universe is too confined, its entropy will rapidly increase. In what corresponds to an extremely short time in the main universe, my entire warship will diffuse uniformly throughout the small universe to maximize the entropy, and then, without suspense, I will die.”

This attack method was akin to a simplified version of the technology used to create a small universe. The principle was simple. Xiao Yu could also cut off a region of space within a time so short that an ordinary person could not even react, but he could do this only when facing empty space. If matter existed in that space, it meant that the region of space was relatively tough and the difficulty of cutting would greatly increase. A warship, without doubt, possessed far more abundant energy than ordinary matter.

Moreover, to cut off a small universe, Xiao Yu had to make preparations in advance, setting corresponding instruments at several specific points in that region of space. Only after all coordination was in order could this be done. Xiao Yu was certain that the Guardian Civilization had made no prior preparations. They had simply jumped the Radiance directly to Xiao Yu’s side and then immediately activated the small-universe cutting technology to cut Xiao Yu out of the main universe.

If it were merely this, it would still not be much. Xiao Yu had already mastered the Loya Round Cup technology. After being cut out, he could use this technology to escape the small universe and return to the main universe. But Xiao Yu did not believe the Guardian Civilization would not know this. Since they knew it and still acted so, it could only mean that the Guardian Civilization was confident it could block the return channel Xiao Yu would create, preventing his smooth return. That was somewhat terrifying.

Yet even this was not enough to show the Guardian Civilization’s might. Hidden behind this spatial cutting attack lay another attack method. In the same instant, Xiao Yu sensed that countless spatial rifts had already been born within the region of space where the Earth was located. This was clearly an enhanced version of Xiao Yu’s space shattering attack.

Moreover, the Guardian Civilization’s space shattering attack was many times stronger than Xiao Yu’s.

Most importantly, the intensity of a spatial rift attack had an enormous relationship with the stability of the universe. The main universe was without doubt the most stable, so in the main universe the power of spatial rifts or space shattering and space collapse attacks would be limited. In a small universe with a diameter of only a few hundred kilometers, to what degree would the intensity of spatial rift attacks be increased? Xiao Yu dared not imagine it. He only knew that his Earth, even equipped with so many defensive shields, absolutely could not withstand it.

This, then, was the strongest combat capability of the Radiance, the flagship of this old Level 6 Civilization, the Guardian Civilization. Only now did Xiao Yu gain some rough understanding of the Radiance’s strength.

Its strongest offensive method was this hybrid attack that combined instantaneous small-universe cutting with space shattering. Its strongest defensive method was that instantaneous vanishing technology whose principle Xiao Yu had not yet understood. Its strongest escape method was the four-dimensional jump technology, whose principle Xiao Yu understood even less. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Xiao Yu believed it was by relying precisely on these three methods that the Radiance, while always losing in its confrontations with the Neutron War Star, had never been eliminated by it.

In this single instant, the situation on the battlefield underwent an earthshaking reversal for Xiao Yu. This unexpected move by the Guardian Civilization swiftly pulled Xiao Yu from an onlooker standing outside the fray into the true battlefield, plunging him into the most serious crisis he had faced since entering the universe.

If Xiao Yu could not stop the Guardian Civilization’s assault in this extremely short time, his flagship, the Earth, would be sent directly into a small universe by the Radiance. Once it entered the small universe, the Earth would be doomed, without the slightest possibility of survival.

“Guardian Civilization, our Divine Ark Civilization is at odds with you now. If we do not perish this time, we will hunt you to the ends of the sky and the edge of the universe.” At this critical moment, Xiao Yu roared inwardly, then without hesitation detonated the Sphere of Death.

The Sphere of Death was Xiao Yu’s final trump card, his ultimate hope, and the only superweapon that might change the current situation.
