Chapter 375: Is the Overlord Just a Newborn?

In the central region of the model, a huge dark‑red area emitting an ominous aura was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The Overlord's feast seems to be drawing to a close."

Luo Lao's voice was heavy beyond measure: "It has devoured nearly seventy percent of the river systems in the Virgo Supercluster, and its power and sphere of influence have grown at least tenfold compared to five hundred years ago."

"According to the most conservative estimate of the Tianhe Optical Brain, it will notice our 'soiled platter' and come to clean it up within no more than ten years."

Ten years!

To a civilization, this unit of time is merely a snap of the fingers.

Zhang Yunfeng's projection also spoke up, adding:

"Over the past four hundred years, we have expended the resources of two river systems to meet all the indicators of the 'Great Silence' plan."

"Industrial output has increased twenty‑thousandfold; technologically we have reached the threshold of a level‑six civilization, and our Divine Might‑class fleet has expanded to the scale of one hundred billion ships you demanded."

"But…" Zhang Yunfeng's tone shifted, filled with bitterness, "Even so, our chances against the Overlord remain slim."

Academician Qian Bowen also walked over; he had recovered from the earlier shock, but his expression remained grave.

"We have conducted an in‑depth study of the level‑six technology tree you left behind. We must admit that the strength of a level‑six civilization has surpassed the bounds of physical law, entering the realm of defining information and dimensions."

"Our Great Wall, in theory, can withstand the attack of an early stage level‑six civilization, but the Overlord…… it is a level‑six civilization that has existed for who knows how many billions of years; even if it is merely early stage, its foundation is far beyond what we can imagine."

"The Tianhe Optical Brain simulated over ten thousand full‑scale wars with the Overlord; our odds…… the highest among them was still under thirty percent."

Thirty percent!

That number made the atmosphere in the Command Center oppressive to the extreme.

This means that, even after the Yanhuang Civilization expends everything, the likelihood of being completely erased remains seventy percent.

Despair began to spread through the crowd.

They thought they had forged an impregnable bulwark, that they possessed the means to resist.

But reality is so cruel.

However, after hearing all the reports, Qin Hao's face showed no trace of tension or gravity.

He even… curled the corner of his mouth into a playful smile.

That smile left everyone stunned.

Luo Lao, Qian Bowen, and Zhang Yunfeng all looked at Qin Hao with bewildered eyes.

At this point, how could he still laugh?

Could he have some hidden trump card they don't know about?

"Thirty percent odds?"

Qin Hao softly repeated it, shaking his head: "No, your calculation model was wrong from the start."

"Wrong?"

Academician Qian Bowen blinked, somewhat unwilling to accept, and said: "This is already the most optimistic result we can derive from all known data!"

"The data are correct."

Qin Hao said, "The mistake lies in your interpretation of the data."

As he spoke, he extended a finger and lightly tapped the empty space before him.

The next second, a blue data interface appeared directly before everyone.

That was Qin Hao's system analysis interface.

At the top of the interface, a clear line of title made everyone's eyes widen.

【Target Unit: Overlord (Meme Collective)】

【Civilization Level: Level‑Six Early Stage (False)】

【Comprehensive Energy Level Assessment: 6.7 (Yanhuang Civilization's current comprehensive energy level: 5.9)】

【Threat Level: High】

【Overall Victory Probability Assessment: 64%】

……

A series of data was clearly listed.

When everyone saw that '64%' victory probability, the entire Command Center erupted!

"Sixty‑four percent?!"

Zhang Yunfeng shouted in disbelief, his projection flickering violently: "How…… how is this possible! It's more than double the Tianhe simulation!"

"This evaluation model…… its algorithm logic…… heavens, this is entirely a different dimension of information processing!"

Academician Qian Bowen stared fixedly at the interface, his whole person dazed.

As the top scientist of the Yanhuang Civilization, he instantly recognized the extraordinariness of this data interface.

This is definitely something the Yanhuang Civilization's current technology cannot produce!

It must have used the system.

"Is this data…… accurate?" Luo Lao pressed down his excitement and pressed on.

"It never makes a mistake." Qin Hao said calmly.

He watched the crowd, overjoyed at the '64%', and shook his head again.

"However, you still haven't grasped the main point."

Everyone blinked again.

"Isn't a sixty‑four percent chance the main point?"

Qin Hao extended his finger and heavily tapped the 'Civilization Level' field on the system interface.

There, clearly written, was——Level‑Six Early Stage (False)!

"False?"

Qian Yin was the first to react, she murmured the word, her eyes filled with doubt.

Qin Hao's smile grew stronger.

"That's right, a false sixth-level."

He looked around at everyone and threw out a conclusion that could overturn everyone's cognition.

"You've always thought the Overlord is a powerful, ancient, unfathomable sixth-level civilization."

"But actually……"

"It's merely a newborn that has just learned how to walk, and even its self-consciousness is still in a dual state of wakefulness and chaos……"

"Just a newborn."

Newborn?

These three words, like a detonating star, exploded in the minds of everyone in the Command Center.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They spent five hundred years, exhausted the resources of two star systems, stood ready, preparing to face a doomsday battle for civilization's survival.

As a result, the one they feared, which had treated countless star systems as pastures, was their ultimate enemy,

In Qin Hao's mouth, it was merely a newborn?

This contrast was too great, causing everyone's brains to crash.

"Xiao Qin, you're not joking, are you?" Zhang Yunfeng's projection stammered.

A "newborn" capable of devouring a supercluster?

Who would dare believe that?

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Qin Hao countered.

His expression was calm, his gaze serious, with no hint of joking.

Academician Qian Bowen forced himself to calm down.

He pointed to the data on the system interface and raised his question:

"But the data shows the Overlord's comprehensive energy level is 6.7, while we are only 5.9, this gap is real."

"Even if it's a newborn, this strength is enough to crush us!"

"That's right, its strength is indeed greater than ours."

Qin Hao nodded, acknowledging that.

"But this is like an infant with giant strength—he can easily crush a piece of metal, yet doesn't know how to twist open a bottle cap."

Qin Hao's gaze once again fell on an entry in the system interface.

【Meme Composite】

He extended his finger and lightly tapped those characters.

"This is its essence, and also its most fatal weakness."

Qian Yin's pupils contracted sharply.
