Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 651: Don’t Attack Me
If external influences were not considered, in fact, in this battle the Guardian Civilization had already achieved victory. If, on the basis of the Radiance and the Python Alien Beast and the Crocodilian Alien Beast, we add this fleet of seventy million reinforcements, then even if the three Taihao civilizations of the entire Taihao Alliance, together with Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu’s Specter companion, these five formidable existences in total, joined forces, they still would not be able to keep the Guardian Civilization here. The Guardian Civilization’s calm departure had already become a foregone conclusion.
These seventy million warships would become a decisive force. Not only could the Radiance warship be successfully rescued, even this semi-finished Star-Class warship could withdraw smoothly. Unless Xiao Yu used up his last Sphere of Death for saving his life, the overall situation was set and no one could reverse it.
But at this moment, the strongest existence in the Milky Way, the Neutron War Star, moved. It seemed to have fully recovered maneuverability. After traveling a certain distance, it even disappeared from the visible universe and entered curvature flight. Its speed rapidly increased to more than one hundred times the speed of light, rushing swiftly forward.
The position where the Neutron War Star had originally been was not very far from the battleground between Xiao Yu’s side and the Guardian Civilization’s side. At more than one hundred times light speed, the Neutron War Star would spend almost no time at all to arrive here. And at this moment, the fierce battle was still continuing here.
Which is to say, no one had time to flee. The Guardian Civilization could not run, because it had been under the fierce assault of Xiao Yu’s side all along. Xiao Yu’s side, whether the Specter companion or the members of the Taihao Alliance, could not run either, because if they suddenly fled and abandoned the attack, they still had to worry about whether they would suffer a fierce counterstrike from the Guardian Civilization.
The war had progressed to this point, and whether to end the battle between the two sides was no longer something that either side could decide alone. Unless both sides reached an agreement to cease attacking simultaneously. But it was obvious that this was impossible.
So both sides had to continue fighting. And at this time, whom the Neutron War Star would choose as its attack target became extremely crucial. If the Neutron War Star attacked the Guardian Civilization, then the Guardian Civilization would be annihilated. If the Neutron War Star attacked the Taihao Alliance, then the Taihao Alliance would be annihilated.
Even more likely, the Neutron War Star would once again launch the Spatial Starburst group attack method, carrying out indiscriminate attacks simultaneously against all present existences.
Judging by the Sweepers Civilization’s overbearing way of doing things, such behavior was very likely. Moreover, Xiao Yu could be certain that the Neutron War Star would no longer care whether it would suffer a joint attack from all of the Milky Way’s top existences present. First, all these existences had already suffered damage to a certain extent. Even if they joined forces, their attack power had dropped greatly compared to before. Second, the situation in which the Neutron War Star lost maneuverability under a joint attack had only occurred because of the Guardian Civilization’s deliberate scheming. As long as the Neutron War Star made proper preparations, that situation would absolutely not repeat.
A total of eight formidable existences were still fighting fiercely at this moment, but Xiao Yu could be sure that the attention of all existences was focused on the Neutron War Star that was continually approaching. Xiao Yu also knew that everyone was praying the Neutron War Star would not attack them, Xiao Yu included. Although Xiao Yu was essentially certain that he was a being similar to a gu insect cultivated by the Sweepers Civilization, there was still the possibility of some accident. Under such circumstances, Xiao Yu’s heart was also in his throat.
“Do not come to attack me… It is not yet time for us to face off. I cannot even handle the Guardian Civilization. How could I possibly be a match for the Neutron War Star…” At this moment, Xiao Yu could not suppress his nervousness.
Such was the Neutron War Star’s formidability. Its formidability was enough to plunge all civilizations in the Milky Way into despair. Xiao Yu believed that on this point the Guardian Civilization had the most to say, since the Guardian Civilization had been contending against the Sweepers Civilization for tens of millions of years. But if they had not been forced to the point of having no other option, why would the Guardian Civilization have begun large-scale construction, attempting to flee the Milky Way and go to another galaxy?
Aside from evading the Sweepers Civilization, what other possibility could there be for the Guardian Civilization to act in this way?
It was akin to, ‘I cannot afford to provoke you, but I can at least hide, can’t I? You are in the Milky Way. I can go to the Andromeda galaxy, can’t I?’
After the Neutron War Star began to move again, Xiao Yu profoundly felt that sense of despair of the Guardian Civilization.
Under the gaze of all present, the Neutron War Star finally made a move. Xiao Yu sensed that a vast region of space in front of the Neutron War Star suddenly began to collapse. It was rapidly disappearing. Xiao Yu’s heart tightened at once. At this moment, the Neutron War Star finally revealed its next intention.
This was obviously the prelude to the Neutron War Star launching a Spatial Starburst attack! The Neutron War Star indeed did not attack any single civilization. Upon entering the field, it used a group attack, bringing all civilizations present here into the scope of its attack.
This was very much in line with the Neutron War Star’s and the Sweepers Civilization’s habitual style, arrogant and overbearing, with no existence taken into its eyes. Even if all of you join together, so what! You could only take me by surprise to cause me a little insignificant damage. In merely tens of minutes I have recovered, and once I am on my guard, even if you join forces again, so what? If I should hit you, I will hit you!
Upon perceiving that the Neutron War Star was about to unleash a Spatial Starburst attack, Xiao Yu quickly began preparations. He swiftly gathered his fleet, rapidly hiding all warships without defenses against the Spatial Starburst behind Planet-Class or Continent-Class ships, and at the same time turned all warships’ shield output up to maximum.
What happened next was just as Xiao Yu had imagined. After the Neutron War Star turned the vast region of space before it into nothingness, in an extremely short time a massive outburst of energy erupted. First to bear the brunt were the seventy million reinforcing warships of the Guardian Civilization. Xiao Yu saw that although the Guardian Civilization had already prepared before the raging energy of the Spatial Starburst arrived, under this violent energy impact more than two million warships still exploded instantly and were destroyed.
Next it was Xiao Yu’s fleet’s turn. Xiao Yu had roughly fifty million warships in normal space, and a single Spatial Starburst attack by the Neutron War Star resulted in no fewer than four million of Xiao Yu’s warships being destroyed.
After that, the energy of the Spatial Starburst reached the core battlefield. Technology Taihao’s Meson, the Guardian Civilization’s Radiance, and that semi-finished Star-Class warship all shone with blazing light, pushing their shield systems to maximum output and relying on their superior performance to withstand the Spatial Starburst attack head-on. The two Specter Race entities both shrank into a small dot between existence and nonexistence, enduring this attack through this uncanny method. The three Alien Beast civilizations, like the flagships of a technological civilization, used their bodily endurance to withstand this attack. Only after withstanding this strike, each of the three Alien Beasts displayed an obvious worsening of injuries.
“If the Neutron War Star could launch such Spatial Starburst attacks without limit, then the Guardian Civilization would certainly have been exterminated long ago. According to my estimate, even for the Neutron War Star, between two such powerful attacks there must be an interval of about one hour. Fortunately, fortunately.” Xiao Yu secretly rejoiced. While continuing his own battle, continuing the siege of the semi-finished Star-Class warship, he still kept an eye on the Neutron War Star’s movements.
Xiao Yu was certain that a single Spatial Starburst attack was only a prelude; the greater action was yet to come. At the same time, regarding whom the Neutron War Star would attack, Xiao Yu also began to make some guesses in his heart.
“The Guardian Civilization poses no threat to the Sweepers Civilization anyway, whereas the Taihao Alliance has been secretly contending with the Neutron War Star. Perhaps this time the Neutron War Star will attack the Taihao Alliance? It should not attack me. After all, I am still too weak. Even without the notion of cultivating a gu insect, I do not qualify for the Neutron War Star to come specifically for me. Then… its target should be the Taihao Alliance. I do not know if the Taihao Alliance can evade it. Without the Taihao Alliance, I would have many more troubles.”
At this moment, Xiao Yu’s heart gradually tightened again. Xiao Yu’s conjecture had a solid intelligence basis. As long as the Sweepers Civilization had not lost its reason and still knew how to weigh pros and cons, it would inevitably make such a choice. Because it was obvious that the Taihao Alliance posed a greater threat to the Sweepers than the Guardian Civilization did. Eliminating the greatest threat in advance, was that not reasonable?
Within the Taihao Alliance, Technology Taihao was the weakest in strength but the most intelligent. In fact, within the Taihao Alliance, Technology Taihao held the highest status. Alien Beast Taihao was the strongest in strength but held the lowest status. If Xiao Yu were to choose a target, he would absolutely choose Technology Taihao. Eliminating Technology Taihao would require the least effort while yielding the greatest gains.
But the result was, in the end, beyond Xiao Yu’s expectations. Xiao Yu saw the Neutron War Star charge straight at the Radiance. It had actually chosen the Radiance as its target. And at this moment, the Radiance made a move that Xiao Yu could never have imagined.
