Chapter 215: Star Sea Divine Sect Civilization Appears!

And just then, Qin Hao moved.

He opened the hatch, and his figure vanished directly from the Shenlong's bridge.

In the next instant, he had already appeared at the forefront of the Federal fleet.

Alone, he faced the thousands of cleaners swarming in like locusts.

His tiny figure, contrasted with the massive fleet behind him and the ferocious mechanical legion ahead, formed an extremely stark contrast.

"What... what is he doing?" Zhou Shaoqing exclaimed.

No one answered him.

Because everyone's gaze had been firmly captured by that solitary figure.

The cleaner fleet obviously also regarded this suddenly appearing carbon-based lifeform as its primary attack target.

Thousands of gray disintegration beams, at the same time from all directions, converged fire on Qin Hao.

Such an attack, capable of instantly disintegrating a massive warship into atoms, converged into a death net seeking to utterly erase Qin Hao.

However, Qin Hao merely watched silently.

His eyes, at some point, had turned that deep, mysterious purple.

Just as those thousands of disintegration beams were about to touch his body—

He lightly raised his right hand, then casually swept it.

As if brushing away dust before his eyes.

An action simple to the extreme.

【18> Yet it triggered a sight that made everyone's souls tremble!

Yet it triggered a sight that made everyone's souls shudder!

Those disintegration beams aimed at him seemed to strike an invisible mirror, being forcibly twisted and folded by an incomprehensible, supreme power!

The thousands of attacks returned along the same path at even greater speed than they came!

Boom!

Those cleaners had no time to react before being instantly struck by their own attacks!

One after another, those ferocious killing machines silently turned into the most insignificant dust in the universe within their own disintegration beams.

With a wave of his hand, thousands of third-level civilization drones vanished into ashes!

The entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

In the Command Center, a pin drop could be heard.

Everyone gaped, staring blankly at the holographic projection of that godlike figure.

This... is this truly his power?

This, is this the power of a third-level lifeform?

No, this even surpasses their understanding of third-level civilization!

Qin Hao's movement did not stop.

His purple pupils locked onto the distant massive main control satellite.

He slowly raised his hand; in his palm, a ball of energy compressed from pure spatial power was rapidly forming.

Regional space collapse!

This is the ultimate killing technique he developed after nine years of seclusion, having grasped several of the universe's fundamental forces!

It ignores all known energy shields and material defenses, annihilating everything directly at the rule level!

"Threat level abnormally increased!"

"Logic chain damaged!"

"Target exceeds preset threshold! Cannot parse! Cannot counter!"

The mechanical voice of that main control satellite, for the first time, showed a clear fluctuation resembling 'fear,' as a series of alarms blared madly.

It sensed the death threat emanating from that ball of energy in Qin Hao's palm.

Instantly, the main control satellite of the Silicon-based Union made the most logical and decisive decision it had ever made since its inception.

Flee!

All that could be seen was the liquid metal on the surface of that huge silver planet instantly flowing back into the enormous star gate.

Its reaction speed was pushed to the extreme, giving Qin Hao no chance to lock on and fire.

"Temporarily withdraw, await main body analysis."

"Erroneous data needs correction; recalculate the carbon-based life threat model."

The icy mechanical voice left its final message on the public channel.

Qin Hao's brows furrowed slightly; he had wanted to forcibly retain that main control satellite, but the opponent's defense and attack capabilities were indeed formidable.

In the brief exchange just now, he could feel that the core of that main control satellite was protected by layer upon layer of spatial barriers,

his regional space collapse could severely damage it, but completely destroying it would likely require some more time.

And the opponent obviously would not give him that time.

Just as the main control satellite was about to fully retreat into the star gate, its icy voice sounded once again:

"Human Federal, carbon-based life civilization, you have been marked as the highest-priority eradication target."

"The main fleet of the Silicon-based Union civilization will arrive here in three years to launch a full-scale eradication program."

"You will be completely erased."

Having said that, the star gate violently shut amid a spatial fluctuation, vanishing without a trace.

As if it had never appeared.

Only this ravaged battlefield remained, along with that icy death proclamation.

In the vast starry expanse, only Qin Hao remained, silently hovering.

A moment later he turned, took a step forward, and returned to the Divine Dragon's Command Center.

We won! We won!

Zhou Shaoqing was the first to rush over, excitedly giving Qin Hao a bear hug and shouting excitedly.

Hahaha! What a damn Third-level Civilization! It's nothing but being beaten into a sorry state by Xiao Qin you alone!

The entire Command Center burst into a cheer of surviving the catastrophe.

Everyone looked at Qin Hao with the reverence reserved for a deity.

However, Luo Lao and Zhang Xianzhong's faces showed little joy, instead being solemn.

Although we repelled their vanguard, we also thoroughly provoked a Third-level Civilization.

Zhang Xianzhong's voice brought everyone's excitement back to reality.

Three years……

Luo Lao's gaze turned to Qin Hao: 'We only have three years.'

Although we won this battle, it has pushed the Human Federal to the brink of a more dangerous cliff.

In three years, what they will face is an even stronger fleet of the Silicon-based Union.

'Time is indeed pressing.' Qin Hao nodded, his expression returning to calm.

His strike just now seemed easy, but it actually consumed a great deal.

Most importantly, he discovered that although his personal strength had reached the intermediate level of a Third-level Civilization, he still lacked much in the application of rules and combat experience.

'Our five hundred Giant Spirit ships, though they have just shown their prowess, are probably still not enough against the Silicon-based Union's main fleet.'

Qin Hao analyzed, 'We need more warships equipped with space technology.'

He subconsciously glanced at the remaining Energy Points in his system.

After nine years of seclusion, the energy absorbed from the stellar core, plus what remained before, is only enough for him to replicate another thousand Giant Spirit warships.

One thousand five hundred Giant Spirit ships.

This number, when facing a Third-level Civilization, is still a drop in the bucket.

Just as everyone fell into deep thought, racking their brains over how to achieve another leap in the Federal's strength within three years.

An unexpected communication request then came through.

'Report! An unknown high-energy signal source has been detected. The other party shows no hostility and has actively sent a request for peaceful communication!'

'Signal source identification…… matches the insignia of the Star Sea Divine Church Civilization in the database provided by Elwen with a ninety-nine percent match!'

This news left everyone present stunned.

Star Sea Divine Church?

The mortal enemy of the Silicon-based Union?

What do they want, showing up at this critical juncture?

Inside the Divine Dragon's Command Center, the alarm had just subsided, but the tension in the air was even graver than when facing the Silicon-based Union earlier.

One had just left, another arrived uninvited.

Everyone's gaze converged on the golden emblem of the Star Sea Divine Church on the star map.

'The enemy of my enemy is my friend?'

Zhou Shaoqing muttered to himself.

But in those words there was no hint of joy, only a deep unease.

'Such naive thinking, in interstellar society, will leave us with nowhere to bury our dead.'

Zhang Xianzhong directly refuted his words: 'A Third-level Civilization would not gratuitously extend goodwill to a Second-level Civilization like us.'

'They and the Silicon-based Union are mortal enemies, but to us they may be merely two giant dragons, while we are ants beneath their feet.'

Luo Lao nodded in agreement:

'Don't rush, everyone. First make contact, let Luo Ge go feel things out, delay as much as possible, and ascertain their true intentions.'
