Chapter 394: Arrival in the New World, an Alternate Civilization War

Qin Hao silently watched the war on the screen, his face showing no expression.

He was neither shocked nor felt threatened.

His eyes, like those of an experienced hunter, were examining the two beasts locked in combat.

"He has power, but lacks skill."

He gave the evaluation in his mind: "Energy utilization rate is low, tactical coordination is chaotic, purely relying on brute force to wear each other out."

He even found it somewhat amusing.

These two civilizations are like children wielding dragon-slaying blades, only knowing how to swing them clumsily, unaware of the blade's true use.

"All forces, enter silent mode."

Qin Hao's voice broke the silence on the bridge: "Activate full-spectrum cloaking field; let's watch the show for a while."

The order was given; the vast Yanhuang fleet, like a chameleon blending into its surroundings, slowly vanished into the unfamiliar starry backdrop.

They became the first spectators of this cosmic-scale brawl.

The battle between the two alien fleets has already entered the white-hot stage.

The fluid-based civilization, relying on its flexible maneuverability and efficient strikes, continually broke through the opponent's formations.

Meanwhile, the star-harnessing civilization relies on its immense power and solid defense, advancing steadily; each counterstrike shakes the heavens and earth.

The scope of the war's spread is growing ever wider.

A small red giant star used as a weapon, after its core was struck by a black hole spear, underwent a violent explosion.

The destructive shockwave, mixed with violent gravitational fluctuations, swept toward the concealed area of the Yanhuang fleet.

"Report to Chief Commander! The gravitational shockwave is expected to arrive in ninety seconds! Our fifth-level regular cloaking field may fluctuate because of it! There's a high chance they'll detect us."

The tactical officer's tone was calm and unhurried.

At this moment, the fleet merely used fifth-level civilization technology, superficially disguising itself as a fifth-level civilization,

and had not employed sixth-level technology, the purpose being to test the technological levels of the two civilizations.

Zhou Shaoqing turned his gaze to Qin Hao: "Should we activate dimensional cloaking mode?"

Qin Hao looked at the approaching destruction wave on the screen and shook his head.

"No need; the objective has already been achieved."

"If so, then let's give them a dazzling entrance."

He extended a finger and lightly tapped in the void.

"Target: the center point where the two fleets clash; load one Causality Tremor Bomb."

Upon hearing that name, Qian Yin beside him twitched her eyelid.

Causality Tremor Bomb

These are a batch of strategic deterrent weapons that Qin Hao replicated using the system.

They are equivalent to the nuclear weapons of the Blue Star era, and their energy consumption is terrifyingly high, so their numbers are few—only a few dozen.

It produces no physical-layer destruction; instead, it directly acts upon the causality layer.

This thing, even with all the data, cannot be manufactured by the present Yanhuang civilization—not even a single one.

The system once prompted him that this is a technology accessible only to an eighth-level civilization.

Now, Qin Hao actually intends to use it in combat?

"Qin Hao……" Qian Yin couldn't help but want to remind him.

"I know."

Qin Hao interrupted her, his tone flat: "I just want to use it to set off a bigger firecracker, to clear the field."

"Fire."

The order was given.

An undetectable fluctuation, invisible to the naked eye and uncapturable by any detector, was launched from the Pioneer.

It disregarded spatial distance; at the moment of launch, it had already reached the target area.

On the battlefield, a strange scene occurred.

There was no warning.

The black-hole spear that the fluid-based civilization was about to launch, upon reaching half-formation, suddenly vanished into thin air.

The gravitational wave that the star-harnessing civilization was about to trigger also disappeared into nothing, as if it had never existed.

On a star warship, a colossal lifeform composed of flames was angrily pounding the control panel before it.

But no matter how it input commands, the weapon system showed no response.

Across the entire battlefield, the fire-control systems of all warships simultaneously failed.

It was not interference, not damage, but… logically, they had "forgotten" how to fire.

The causal chain of "attack" was forcibly severed.

The fierce war that had lasted several standard days abruptly fell into a deathly silence.

Both fleets were dazed.

They blankly stared at each other, then looked at their own unresponsive weapon systems, completely bewildered as to what had happened.

In the midst of this eerie silence.

In the empty void between them, space began to ripple.

One ship, ten ships, a hundred ships…

Thousands upon thousands, even hundreds of billions of massive fleets with sharp, jet-black hulls revealed their true form.

This suddenly appearing massive fleet, like an endless iron forest, instantly filled everyone's field of view.

Just as all crew members of the two civilizations fell into stupor and fear.

A voice sounded directly in their consciousness.

This voice was automatically translated into a language each of them could understand.

"This place, I've taken it."

After a brief pause, the voice sounded again, carrying an indisputable domineering tone.

"Any objections?"

Dead silence.

On the battlefield, there was a prolonged dead silence.

Whether it was the civilization that used stars as warships or the agile liquid civilization, at this moment they were like chickens with their necks choked, unable to make any sound.

They gazed at the suddenly appearing, boundless black fleet, feeling that icy, powerful aura, and only two words remained in their minds.

Fear.

This newly arrived civilization not only possesses something they cannot comprehend,

but also the eerie means to "shut down war," and possesses such a terrifying fleet scale!

The first to react was the liquid civilization.

A communication request was sent to the bridge of the Pioneer.

Qin Hao gestured to answer.

On the holographic screen appeared a body composed of liquid, constantly shifting its form.

Its "voice" was no longer the previous chaotic broadcast, but had condensed into a clear mental wave.

"Honored powerful visitor. We are the Poison Liquid Civilization, and we harbor no hostility toward you… and your civilization."

The Poison Liquid lifeform lowered its posture extremely: "We are merely resisting the aggression of the Flame Cloud Civilization, defending our homeland."

As its words fell, another, more brutal communication request also barged in.

On the screen appeared a gigantic face composed of flames, precisely the commander of the Flame Cloud Civilization's fleet.

"Arrogant fool! Who are you? By what right do you interfere in our internal affairs!"

The flame giant's voice was full of arrogance and hostility: "According to the Laniakea interstellar law, this 'barren star belt' falls under our jurisdiction!"

Qin Hao sat in the command chair, his body slightly leaning forward, watching with interest the two aliens on the screen.

"Law? Jurisdiction?"

He laughed.

"I just arrived, I don't know your rules here. I only know that I've taken a liking to this place."

He paused, then his tone became casual.
