Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 645: Why Do You Still Have One!

At the moment before the Sphere of Death was detonated, Xiao Yu received a message from his Specter companion full of despair, “Xiao Yu, do not die.”

Xiao Yu knew that between himself and his Specter companion there was not only an affection-based closeness, not only the bond of both being from Earth. There also existed a binding constraint that tightly linked them. This constraint meant that if Xiao Yu died, the Specter companion would die as well. So, whether from emotion or reason, the Specter companion could not accept Xiao Yu’s death. But now the Specter companion was tightly entangled by the crocodilian Alien Beast and had no way to come rescue Xiao Yu. It could only roar in despair.

It was the same for the three Taihao Civilizations in the Taihao Alliance. Under the Guardian Civilization’s scheme, they likewise had no ability to rescue Xiao Yu now. Xiao Yu received Technology Taihao’s furious spatial broadcast, “Guardian Civilization, our Taihao Alliance will never rest until death with you.”

At this very moment, Xiao Yu even saw the Sweepers Civilization’s Neutron War Star twitch slightly, as if it intended to come rescue him, yet it never started moving. Xiao Yu thought this was probably due to the damage it had suffered earlier. At this moment he also thought of another possibility, the overall condition of the Neutron War Star looked fine, but why was its propulsion system, of all things, so severely damaged that it had completely lost the ability to move during this period?

This was very strange. The only possibility was that when all the formidable existences in the Milky Way were besieging the Neutron War Star, all the attacks were intentionally concentrated on its propulsion system under the Guardian Civilization’s manipulation.

This was a trap laid by the Guardian Civilization. In this trap, whether Xiao Yu, the Taihao Alliance, or even the Sweepers Civilization itself, all fell into the Guardian Civilization’s snare. The Guardian Civilization had calculated against every existence present. The final purpose was merely to keep the Sweepers Civilization from rescuing Xiao Yu so that they could free their hands to eliminate him in the end.

At this moment, even Xiao Yu himself, having figured everything out, could not help but marvel at the grand scale of the Guardian Civilization’s plan and the depth of their scheming. It was likely that from the moment he appeared here, the Guardian Civilization had begun plotting all of this to ensnare him.

Only now did Xiao Yu string everything together completely and grasp all the details of the Guardian Civilization’s scheme. But the current situation for Xiao Yu had indeed reached the most critical juncture. If the Sphere of Death did not achieve the expected effect, Xiao Yu would have no choice but to accept the outcome of perishing here.

In fact, long after approaching the Galactic Center and even before coming into contact with these formidable existences, Xiao Yu had always been ready to detonate the Sphere of Death, and had long prepared the Sphere of Death in an armed state, ready to trigger it at any moment. Otherwise, at such a critical instant, before he could even retrieve the Sphere of Death from storage, Xiao Yu would likely already be dead.

All intelligent beings had been placed by Xiao Yu within the small universe, so there was no worry they would be affected by the Sphere of Death. Therefore, Xiao Yu had no hesitation in detonating it.

In the past period, no matter how critical the situation, Xiao Yu had not taken out this final trump card, the Sphere of Death. Even when facing the Level 5 Civilization Alliance, when without his Specter companion’s arrival he could not obtain final victory, Xiao Yu did not consider using the Sphere of Death, but only thought of other methods. Because there were only two Spheres of Death. These two Spheres of Death were Xiao Yu’s ultimate life-preserving trump card.

Now all of Xiao Yu’s earlier restraint finally took effect this time. The Sphere of Death was detonated.

The formless and intangible superweapon developed by a Level 7 silicon-based civilization specifically against carbon-based lifeforms was detonated at this moment.

The surging death rays spread rapidly outward from the detonated Sphere of Death as the core.

After the Sphere of Death was detonated, Xiao Yu saw an astonishing scene. He perceived that the Guardian Civilization’s flagship, the Radiance, suddenly flared with brightness at this moment. The enormous ship with a diameter of over one thousand kilometers shone like a small sun. It emitted astonishing luminosity and heat, clearly struggling desperately to resist the deadly energy blasted out by the Sphere of Death.

Xiao Yu had never hoped that a single Sphere of Death could eliminate the Radiance. In the ruin left by that silicon-based civilization, he had already tested this. The conclusion was that although it would suffer some damage and consume vast amounts of energy, the Radiance could resist the attack of the Sphere of Death. But this was precisely all Xiao Yu needed. It was obvious that by allocating massive resources to defense, the energy devoted to offense in the same moment would necessarily decrease. This meant Xiao Yu could win himself some time and then escape. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Events unfolded as Xiao Yu expected. He saw that when the Radiance’s brightness increased by tens of thousands of times, the process of cutting the space occupied by the Earth and the intensity of the space shattering attack instantly decreased. Seizing this opportunity, Xiao Yu immediately fled that region and temporarily avoided this calamity.

After the Earth escaped, Xiao Yu saw yet another astonishing scene. This time it was on the crocodilian Alien Beast. The crocodilian Alien Beast was a colossal monster with a body length of nearly two thousand kilometers. It was even larger than the Arboreal Race Alien Beast, practically like a planet. Yet at this moment this planet-like giant seemed to be disintegrating.

Xiao Yu saw that the crocodilian Alien Beast’s vast flesh and blood, under the onslaught of the death rays, was rapidly being transformed from its original pitch-black material into some unknown substance with a grayish hue like lime. This lime-like unknown substance seemed to have no strength whatsoever. As it fought the Specter Race, even the slightest attacks from the Specter could knock large patches of this lime-like substance off the crocodilian Alien Beast.

It was like a collapsing planet, with endless rubble crumbling from it and then being ground into powder by the rampaging unknown energies in the chaotic universe. Most terrifying of all, this attack seemed to have a certain persistence. Xiao Yu saw that after a portion of gray matter was stripped from the crocodilian Alien Beast’s body, its original skin luster reappeared, but as soon as this normal flesh was exposed to the death rays again, it was instantly transformed once more into that lifeless gray stone-like substance, then stripped away again. The newly exposed flesh was transformed again, and so it cycled.

Xiao Yu received the crocodilian Alien Beast’s wretched roar. In stark contrast to it was the Specter companion. The Specter companion was not a carbon-based lifeform, so under the irradiation of the death rays it was unaffected.

Receiving the same treatment as the crocodilian Alien Beast were the python Alien Beast and Alien Beast Taihao. Xiao Yu saw that under the onslaught of the death rays, the python Alien Beast also began undergoing the same transformation as the crocodilian Alien Beast. Only because it was much farther from the detonation point of the Sphere of Death than the crocodilian Alien Beast, it suffered much less damage. Yet even this degree of damage was enough to affect its combat strength. As a result, Technology Taihao and Specter Taihao, which it had previously held tightly, immediately evaded its obstruction and surged toward the Guardian Civilization’s flagship, the Radiance.

For some unknown reason, Technology Taihao seemed to ignore the attack of the Sphere of Death. This point caught Xiao Yu’s attention. But now he had no time to analyze what valuable information might be contained in this matter.

Alien Beast Taihao, farthest from the Sphere of Death, was also affected to a certain degree, but perhaps due to the distance, the effect on it was not great. Xiao Yu saw that the side of its body facing the Sphere of Death’s explosion instantly turned gray-white, as if covered by a layer of lime. Then Alien Beast Taihao’s body seemed to tremble, and that layer of lime was shaken off, revealing the normal flesh beneath. The Sphere of Death’s effect on it ended there. Yet the Sphere of Death’s attack seemed to snap it out of its rage and restore its reason. It froze in place for a moment, then in the next instant followed Technology Taihao and Specter Taihao’s lead and charged toward the Radiance.

The Specter Race also temporarily abandoned the miserable crocodilian Alien Beast and charged toward the Radiance. Xiao Yu did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately commanded at least eighty Planet-Class warships on his side to charge toward the Radiance.

The three Taihaos, a Level 4 Specter, and Xiao Yu, five formidable existences in total, charged the Radiance at the same time.

Just then the Radiance seemed finally to have withstood the attack of the Sphere of Death. Xiao Yu received a message filled with rage, “Why? Why do you still have a Sphere of Death? We observed you for so long. You did not bring out a Sphere of Death even at the most critical moment of your battle with the Level 5 Civilization Alliance. You should have had none left, so why do you still have one? Why do you still have a Sphere of Death?”
