Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 697: Rout

Although Xiao Yu had never crossed paths with the Python Alien Beast before, by combining data from all aspects, in terms of power rating Xiao Yu placed the Python Alien Beast above Alien Beast Taihao.

This could be seen from the fact that the Arboreal Race Alien Beast and the Crocodilian Alien Beast had both met untimely ends, while the Python Alien Beast had survived quite well. Not only did the Python Alien Beast hold an advantage in intelligence, its raw strength, Xiao Yu believed, was also on the same tier as Alien Beast Taihao. In other words, even in a head-on fight, the Arboreal Race Alien Beast and the Crocodilian Alien Beast would not be its match.

It was without question a powerful existence. Its individual combat strength could even rival the Radiance. But the enemy it faced this time was the Divine Ark Civilization, was the Micron Civilization’s corpse.

The Neutron War Star was the ultimate opponent of the Micron Civilization’s corpse. Below the Neutron War Star, Xiao Yu would not spare a glance for any existence. The Radiance had been severely damaged and fled. Alien Beast Taihao had been beaten to the brink of death and almost perished. Now, the Micron corpse’s target locked onto the Python Alien Beast.

“I wonder how long you can last under the Micron corpse’s assault?” Xiao Yu thought to himself, watching the situation closely. But what happened greatly exceeded his expectations.

When the Micron corpse charged toward it at great speed, the Python Alien Beast did not choose to fight. It simply turned and ran. It refused to cross blows with the Micron corpse at all.

“This is the number one alien beast in the Milky Way? Such behavior truly sullies that renown.” Xiao Yu thought with some amusement. “But this behavior also accords with its cunning. After all, an alien beast with a certain degree of wisdom that knows when to advance and when to retreat is a good alien beast.”

However, Xiao Yu did not intend to let it go. Destroying the Radiance was not something that could be done in a short time, because at this moment several million ships had already gathered around the Radiance, ready at any moment to gallantly sacrifice themselves and delay the Micron corpse with their lives. Xiao Yu also did not plan to completely annihilate the Radiance. He still harbored the notion of capturing the Radiance and then conducting a technological analysis of it. After all, the Radiance’s technology was too advanced and its might too great, which made it too alluring to Xiao Yu.

But the Python Alien Beast would not be so fortunate. It was all alone. Although it was an ally of the Guardian Civilization, the Guardian Civilization was not at the point of sacrificing its own ships to cover its retreat.

So the Micron corpse quickly followed behind it in pursuit. Ahead, Xiao Yu’s forces that were locked in melee with the Guardian Civilization’s ships also began to intercept the Python Alien Beast. A single ship was but an ant to the Python Alien Beast, but one hundred thousand ships, one million ships would force it to take the matter seriously.

Fierce spatial weapons successfully reduced the Python Alien Beast’s escape speed, and at that moment the Micron Civilization’s corpse successfully caught up to the fleeing Python Alien Beast. The Specter companion, controlling the Micron corpse, did not hesitate and rammed into it.

The Python Alien Beast’s defense lagged somewhat behind that of the Radiance, but thanks to the alien beast civilization’s special bodily structure, the alien beast civilization also possessed an ability similar to holographic defense technology. This was why, whether attacking Alien Beast Taihao or the Python Alien Beast, the Micron corpse always chose to pierce straight through and refused to remain inside their bodies for long. After all, if it lingered too long, an accident could potentially occur.

The Micron Civilization’s corpse successfully plunged into the Python Alien Beast’s body. At that moment, Xiao Yu saw the Python Alien Beast’s enormous body suddenly stretch out in an instant and go taut. This clearly showed it was enduring immense pain. But there was not the slightest pity in Xiao Yu’s heart.

Endless blood and flesh splattered forth, turning this region of space into a terrifying slaughterhouse for alien beasts. Amid flying gore, some large chunks of flesh struck certain nearby ships, and the tremendous kinetic energy even destroyed those ships outright.

A few minutes later, the Micron corpse emerged from the other side of the Python Alien Beast’s body. Then, without the slightest hesitation, it turned around and once again rammed into the Python Alien Beast, once again successfully entering its body.

Whether facing Alien Beast Taihao, the Radiance, or now the Python Alien Beast, when entering the opponent’s interior, the Micron corpse never opened its gravity switch and never used its immense gravity to inflict damage. This was because gravity is mutual. When the Micron corpse drew them in, it would also be drawn by them. This attraction would seriously impede the Micron corpse’s propulsion. In the presence of holographic defense technology, such impediment could lead to undesirable consequences, such as being unable to exit and ultimately remaining trapped inside them. To prevent such an accident, Xiao Yu had never activated the gravity switch.

After suffering two ramming attacks from the Micron corpse, the Python Alien Beast struggled in pain, yet its speed not only failed to decrease, it instead accelerated again as if it had gone mad, charging frantically toward a certain point in the void. Its destination was the same as that of the Radiance.

Xiao Yu noticed this. He knew that point was likely the entry point to the Guardian Civilization’s small universe. After the Micron corpse appeared, its formidable combat power forced the Guardian Civilization to choose to withdraw into the small universe and rely on the small universe’s defensive power to hold fast.

This would impose a certain disadvantage on Xiao Yu, but he had no way to prevent it. Even so, this was no great matter, since Xiao Yu had long been prepared with the technology to attack a small universe. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

As the Radiance continued to retreat, the Guardian Civilization’s vast fleet was clearly contracting its defensive line. Large numbers of fleets began to gather near that point, and a portion had already successfully withdrawn into the small universe.

Xiao Yu did not intend to let the Guardians escape so easily. During the Guardian Civilization’s retreat, he launched a frenzied attack. After the Python Alien Beast fled, the Micron corpse did not continue to pursue it but chose instead to break into the Guardian Civilization’s defensive line and begin wholesale slaughter.

The Radiance finally reached that point. Together with the Python Alien Beast, it withdrew into the small universe. Only the Guardian Civilization’s regular fleets remained on the battlefield. These regular fleets were also rapidly retreating. They organized a dense outer defensive line to hold off Xiao Yu’s offensive and cover the rapid withdrawal of the forces behind them into the small universe.

Their line could block Xiao Yu’s fleets, but it could not block the Micron corpse that crashed about unimpeded. Now, among all Guardian Civilization ships still on the battlefield, not a single one could last even a single exchange against the Micron corpse. No matter the model of the ship, whether Planet-Class, Continent-Class, or Nation-Class, any ship appeared fragile before the Micron corpse. At this moment, the Micron corpse was like an electron orbiting probabilistically around an atomic nucleus, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. One moment it was here, the next it appeared somewhere else. But there was no doubt that as soon as the Micron corpse appeared in the visible universe, one or more ships would inevitably be smashed by it.

At times the Micron corpse even performed high-difficulty maneuvers. For example, it would prioritize ramming two or more ships that happened to align in a straight line. In that case, with one collision it could destroy two or more ships of the Guardian Civilization. Sometimes it would execute a sharp angle in space and, from an inconceivable vector, destroy a Guardian ship. It slaughtered across the battlefield without scruple, without the slightest restraint.

In stark contrast to its frenzied slaughter was the Guardian side’s helpless response. The Guardian Civilization had no weapon that could harm the Micron corpse’s ultra-dense structure. Even the fiercest spatial attacks could not leave so much as the faintest scratch on it. Many times, the Micron corpse even rushed to the entry point of the Guardian Civilization’s small universe and mingled with the ships that were retreating.

At such times, Xiao Yu would sternly warn the Specter companion that it must by no means enter the Guardian Civilization’s small universe. Although it was unlikely that there existed anything within the Guardian small universe that could threaten the Micron corpse, given the Guardian Civilization’s superb technology, it was entirely possible for a situation to occur in which entry was easy but exit was impossible. And as soon as the time limit was exceeded, the Specter companion might die due to loss of life force. Even if the Specter companion separated from the Micron corpse midway, a lone Specter, even at Level 4, Xiao Yu did not believe it would be a match for the Guardian Civilization.

Amid this wholesale slaughter, the Guardian Civilization’s fleets grew fewer and fewer. When Xiao Yu’s fleets and the Micron corpse together destroyed the last ship of the Guardian Civilization, the battlefield finally fell silent.

The battle had reached a pause. What presented itself before Xiao Yu was a scene of devastation. Some spatial scars left by high-powered spatial weapons had not yet been fully healed by the main universe’s self-healing force. They appeared pitch black, like ugly wounds. Throughout this region lay fragments of warships. Remnants of exploded stars were everywhere. Various forms of high-energy radiation filled the area, turning this place into a veritable hell.

All remaining forces of the Guardian Civilization had hidden within the small universe. Next would be the assault on this small universe. As long as this small universe was breached, the Guardian Civilization would have no way out.
