Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 701: My Turn, Right?

This was the first time since Xiao Yu had obtained the Micron Civilization’s corpse that he had seen it take damage. Before, whether directly smashing a star, beating Alien Beast Taihao to the brink of death, or gravely wounding the Radiance, the Micron corpse had always remained pristine, without any scars. But now the Micron Civilization’s corpse had been damaged. Under the cutting of tens of millions of bolts of black lightning, a mass of material with a volume of roughly several dozen cubic kilometers was sliced away.

According to the density of the Micron corpse, the mass of those several dozen cubic kilometers was nearly half of Earth’s mass. In other words, at that moment half an Earth was peeled from the Micron corpse by those strange black bolts. After leaving the parent body, this material rapidly reverted to ordinary matter like neutron star matter does, and its volume expanded rapidly, with the expansion speed approaching the speed of light.

Simply put, it was like a violent explosion. For comparison, during Earth’s era, when a grenade exploded, its volume expansion speed was only a few kilometers per second.

Just imagine how violent this explosion was and how immense the power it contained must have been. Yet before the crisscrossing black lightning, this explosion showed no trace of power. After it left the Micron corpse’s special material state, it also lost its toughness. Thus, before the interlacing black lightning, it was instantly cut to pieces and perished into nothingness in the universe.

When a large chunk was sliced from the Micron Civilization’s corpse, Xiao Yu seemed to hear an angry roar from the Specter companion. At this moment, the Micron corpse had lost its maneuverability. It could not move and could only remain here under attack.

Once the Micron corpse was cut and lost a piece of material, its shape was no longer spherical. But that lasted only an instant. In the next instant, under its own gravity, material from other parts of the Micron corpse immediately surged over and filled the gap, and it instantly returned to that nearly perfect spherical exterior.

However, before the next thick spatial rift attack, another chunk of material was sliced away. It was as if peeling an apple. The black lightning was the knife, and the Micron corpse was the apple.

Xiao Yu shifted his attention again to those stars within the Guardian Civilization’s small universe. The luminosity of those stars had grown dimmer. Xiao Yu knew the Guardians were extracting energy from those stars and converting it into this black lightning attack. But extracting stellar energy could not be too violent. If it was too violent, it would cause the stars to lose their equilibrium and ultimately explode with a bang. At the beginning of the attack, those three stars exploded for precisely this reason.

“I am very interested to see how long you can sustain an attack of this intensity.” Xiao Yu thought calmly, without the slightest worry.

For the Micron corpse, which possessed the mass of a star, half of Earth’s mass counted for nothing.

The fierce attack continued. The Micron Civilization’s corpse simply stayed there quietly, enduring the wind and rain from every direction. No matter how fierce the assault, it remained unmoving. From time to time some fragments would be cut from it, and it paid them no mind.

“This is my strongest weapon. This is the mighty existence that can contend with the Neutron War Star. If you cannot deal with the Neutron War Star, do not think you can deal with the Micron corpse.” Xiao Yu thought coolly.

The violent attack lasted for five minutes. During those five minutes, as many as more than thirty stars exploded with a crash because they could not withstand the overly violent energy extraction. The black lightning grew weaker and weaker and finally vanished completely.

Before Xiao Yu could send a message, the Specter companion broadcast first, “Had your fun, did you? Any more tricks to play?”

“No? Then it is my turn, right? My turn, right!” The Specter companion’s message carried an irrepressible ferocity and anger. Since taking control of the Micron corpse, when had it ever suffered such a loss? Alien Beast Taihao, the Python Alien Beast, the Radiance, which of them was not a renowned existence, yet all had been hounded by it like dogs. Now, however, it had suffered a loss under these bizarre black bolts of lightning. How could that be tolerated?

Without waiting for Xiao Yu’s orders, the enraged Specter companion piloted the Micron corpse to surge forward at speed. Ahead was a massive Planet-Class ship. After the Radiance was damaged, among the Guardian Civilization’s participating ships, the Planet-Class ships were the largest and most powerful. Yet under the Micron corpse’s assault, a Planet-Class ship was as feeble as cotton. Once pierced through by the Micron corpse, it immediately lost any possibility of survival. From the Space Gate, Xiao Yu’s follow-on fleets, roughly seventy million ships, had already surged in completely.

That superweapon clearly could not be fired again in the short term. It was time to launch a full offensive if not now, then when?

Battle erupted once more. Countless spatial weapon attacks immediately destroyed that Planet-Class ship that had lost maneuverability. The Specter companion was not satisfied with such a result.

After smashing that Planet-Class ship with a single impact, a message filled with even greater ferocity was broadcast again, “Now it is my turn. Now it is my turn.”

Seething with boundless ferocity, the Micron Civilization’s corpse rammed once again toward the densest concentration of Guardian ships. This time, the Micron corpse destroyed at least seven hundred Guardian ships in a single charge. At that moment, on the Guardian side, the ships seemed to snap back to awareness, scattering in an instant like toads startled by thunder.

The Guardians’ defensive line collapsed. Xiao Yu’s fleets burst out at once and spread across the small universe. Once Xiao Yu’s fleets dispersed, even if the Guardian Civilization still had the ability to unleash that kind of attack, they could not use it. The reason was simple. What if they hit their own forces by mistake?

The formal battle began. The two sides plunged into melee yet again. Xiao Yu saw bluish light start to glow on thousands of planets and begin converging toward a point. Some ships that were clearly meant for habitation also joined the ring of planets. Innumerable star system defense systems began to gather. Part of them converged with those planets to provide the strongest protection for the Guardian populace. Another part began converging on the battlefield and launched attacks on Xiao Yu’s fleets.

At this moment Xiao Yu had no interest in striking at the Guardian Civilization’s civilians. The reason was simple. As long as the Guardians’ military strength was destroyed, how those civilians would be handled would be decided with a single word.

Thus thirty million ships held Space Bridge Number One, while seventy million ships fought within the small universe. The Guardian Civilization had been forced to a dead end. They absolutely had no room to retreat. Victory was in Xiao Yu’s sights, and there was absolutely no possibility of giving up the offensive now. The two sides had reached the point of life and death.

“Where is the Radiance? Where is the Python Alien Beast? Are you busy repairing yourselves now? But I will not give you time.” Xiao Yu thought silently, then said to the Specter companion, “Specter, stop tangling with ordinary ships. Leave those to me. You go into the stellar ring and search for the Radiance and the Python Alien Beast. The Python Alien Beast can be killed outright. As for the Radiance, do not completely destroy it. Once its damage reaches a certain level, I will come forward to capture it.”

“No problem.” The Specter companion agreed, immediately left the battlefield, and rushed toward the distant stellar ring. With the Micron corpse’s capability, Xiao Yu did not believe anything there could threaten it.

This small universe was a place the Guardian Civilization had managed for who knew how many years. As an outsider, Xiao Yu would, without a doubt, be subject to certain limitations. The fact that his ships’ performance decreased here while the Guardians’ ship performance improved was a clear example. This caused the destruction rate of Xiao Yu’s ships to rise again. Up to this point, the total number of ships Xiao Yu had lost exceeded five hundred million. The combined power of the entire militaries of five ordinary Level 6 civilizations had been wiped out. But Xiao Yu had prepared a total of 1.2 billion warships before coming, and he could fully bear this loss.

Space Bridge Number One was transporting tens of thousands of warships here every moment. If one ship was lost, another brand-new ship would immediately join the fight. Xiao Yu’s ships could not be killed off and could not be driven away.

Xiao Yu’s combat style was that if mutual destruction would do, he would never waste time entangling. Even if it took two of his ships to conduct a suicide attack to destroy one Guardian ship, Xiao Yu would do it without hesitation. Although the Guardians’ vast industrial base also continuously provided ship replacements, Xiao Yu did not even take that replenishment speed into account.

“Even if I have to pile ships on, I will pile you into extinction.” Xiao Yu thought.

But just then, a sudden change occurred. The Micron corpse, which had entered the stellar ring to search for the Radiance and the Python Alien Beast, suddenly fled back at high speed under the Specter companion’s control. Along with it came a message from the Specter companion filled with shock, “Th-this, what is this!”

“Hmm?” Xiao Yu’s heart tightened. The observation instruments mounted on the ships were immediately aimed in that direction. Xiao Yu then saw a strange thing. At the first glance, he could not help but exclaim, “This fellow…”
