Chapter 424: Everything for the Waluo Civilization!
The unidentified flying object that suddenly appeared on the Pluto battlefield, looking just like an interstellar base.
Naturally, it was Su Ping in his true form, who had received the news and arrived using a Teleportation Talisman.
After scanning the remnants of the Waluo Civilization fleet with his Dao Integration divine sense, Su Ping used the Sun Moon Star Chart to release an Immortal Palace.
This Immortal Palace was naturally not the one from the former Artifact Heart Sect.
Rather, it was one of the legacies from the Xuanwu Sect.
The diameter of this Mysterious Spirit Immortal Palace exceeded fifty kilometers, and the Dharma Arrays inscribed upon it, aside from the nine major arrays, numbered over six digits in various functional arrays.
Now that Su Ping had brought it out, it immediately and predictably intimidated the sentient beings of the Waluo Civilization.
Su Ping could keenly sense that the fragile sentient beings of this abruptly appearing alien civilization were currently filled with negative emotions such as fear and terror.
Su Ping had initially intended to use thunderous means and employ the Sun Moon Star Chart to directly destroy this alien fleet.
However, after receiving the battlefield memories of the rabbit-eared female cultivators.
And with his divine sense scanning them, there were indeed many interesting things about the other side.
This alien fleet's overall technology appeared to be significantly higher than that of the Water Blue Star Civilization and the Kalo Civilization.
Yet, it was only limitedly so, and their fundamental technology belonged to a technological civilization still trapped within a star system.
It was just that a fleet of such a technological civilization happened to have mastered Black Technology weapons involving space and the triggering of Time-Space Turbulence.
This feeling was just like a group of savages wearing animal skins suddenly having a knight in full plate armor wielding a Gatling machine gun appear in their ranks!
This caused Su Ping to inevitably confirm one thing.
Heavenly treasures are not exclusive to Immortal cultivation civilizations.
Technological civilizations can likewise rely on heavenly treasures in the vast starry sky to obtain Black Technology creations that transcend their civilization level.
Thereby obtaining great power that does not belong to their own civilization level.
This also gave Su Ping more expectations for the civilizations of the Galaxy.
Su Ping subsequently developed other thoughts regarding the Waluo Civilization.
On the side of the Waluo Civilization fleet.
They had already made the worst preparations.
The fleet began to retreat, buying time for the spatial transfer of the escape pods.
There were also crew members on ships who hoped to follow the transfer, but they were immediately executed by the captain, who was following orders, using the ships' security systems.
They also did not see that the opposing side had any ulterior motives.
From the perspective of the Waluo Civilization fleet.
After that incredible behemoth suddenly appeared.
In just two or three breaths, it erupted with Golden Light, and then fired thousands of beams toward their side!
After those beams approached, through their most advanced observation equipment, the Waluo fleet was surprised to discover that the tips of those beams were actually cold weapons of slightly different shapes!
They did not understand why cold weapons could produce the special effects of beam weapons.
However, the Waluo Civilization quickly learned of and acknowledged their power.
A standard Waluo Civilization battleship, under the cold weapon beam attacks that it could not block at all.
Was pierced through by more than a dozen such beams in the blink of an eye.
And then, similar to the energy weapons encountered before.
The Waluo Civilization crew members around the point of penetration would also be affected and lose their lives, and various equipment would suffer chain reactions, causing chain destruction.
After being hit once or twice, a battleship basically lost its combat capability.
However, the good news was that these terrifying beams, after hitting a target, would not continue to search for other targets, but would lose their radiance and disappear into the starry sky.
This made Commander Waluo and the others feel slightly better; at least for now, that kind of energy weapon from before was definitely not a mass-produced item.
But... even if they were defective mass-produced items, the power currently displayed was still above the Waluo Civilization's capacity to withstand.
If the opponent continued to fight like this.
Their Waluo Civilization fleet would likely be wiped out without even being able to fight back.
Thinking this, Commander Waluo even prepared a plan to have the last two Annihilation Bombs stored within the flagship self-detonate, thereby disrupting the Space Node behind them to make it difficult to recover in a short time.
However, that suddenly appearing unidentified flying object, after unleashing a round of offensives and destroying or paralyzing nearly two-thirds of the fleet.
Suddenly had no further actions.
Even from the observation equipment, the light emitted by the opponent had subtly dimmed a little.
Regarding this, the Waluo Civilization spontaneously filled in the blanks for this behavior.
For example, this was the aftereffect of spatial teleportation, and this should have been an emergency operation, so the opponent was low on energy, and so on.
Commander Waluo also leaned toward the possibility that the opponent's emergency operation had led to insufficient energy.
However, this did not seem to change their current disadvantageous position.
Without those cold weapon beams, there were still those terrifying energy weapons.
That giant humanoid monster had not stopped its hunting.
After even the Annihilation Bombs were dealt with by the opponent using methods they did not understand.
The remaining crew of the Waluo Civilization fleet were left with nothing but struggles in despair.
And after Su Ping appeared, under the invisible mental pressure.
This struggle also became much weaker and more powerless.
So much so that Su Ping had to let the True Martial Demon-Subduing Heavenly General hold back a little, lest he kill too quickly and cause the Waluo Civilization fleet to be completely wiped out here.
As for how to use that Space Node in the rear for spatial transfer.
Su Ping was currently completely ignorant.
If these guides were gone, and they had to bring in a team of experts from the Kalo Civilization to start from scratch.
Even with the help of extraordinary abilities, I fear the progress will have to be measured in months.
"The opponent is clearly low on energy; now only that Golden Light monster is left capable of continuing the battle."
The adjutant beside the Waluo Commander revealed a look of joy:
"Commander! Give the order!"
"Yes, Commander!"
"Quickly let the Pioneer retreat, let us return to Waro Star!"
"Only if we, the eyewitnesses, return can we make those committee members take this seriously!"
Pioneer is the code name for this flagship of the Waluo Fleet.
Upon noticing that the terrifying enemy offensive had slowed, the behemoth, the previous mysterious intelligent individual, and the energy weapons all voluntarily distanced themselves.
Suddenly realizing that none of those present needed to sacrifice their lives for the nation, the survival instinct of these high-ranking fleet officers immediately swelled.
The Waluo Commander, however, was still hesitating.
Possessing rich combat experience, it felt at this moment that something was not quite right.
Yet it could not say what was wrong.
After looking at the three-dimensional spherical projection, where green dots were constantly disappearing and the red dot representing the Golden Light monster remained.
The Waluo Commander shook its head:
"We know nothing about this terrifying civilization."
"What if our retreat leads to the opponent following us to the Waro Star System... what then?"
"Unprepared as we are, we will certainly pay a heavy price."
Hearing this, although they also felt it was possible, the survival instinct ultimately gained the upper hand, and the adjutant stood out and said:
"We do not need to evacuate everyone, just ensuring the Pioneer can retreat is enough."
"Before we retreat, we can have the remaining energy supply ships self-destruct to block the opponent's line of sight."
"Additionally, we can set a program to launch the remaining Annihilation Bombs immediately after the transfer is successful."
"According to scientific research, Annihilation Bombs can cause the Space Node to be in Chaos for at least ten to twenty Waro Years."
"This is enough to buy time for our civilization."
"Yes, Commander, if we stay in the opponent's Star system, our Annihilation Bombs are very likely to fail again; at that time, we might not even be able to buy this much time."
"If the escape pods fail to transfer successfully, or are not discovered by our civilization, given the opponent's level of civilization."
"It is very likely that in one Waro Year, our civilization will encounter a fully armed invading fleet from the other side!"
Several experts also expressed their suggestions one after another.
Even the great scientist sighed and agreed with the experts' view.
The Waluo Commander scanned the room and discovered that perhaps it was the only one still hesitating.
The Waluo Commander gave a bitter smile, knowing that the general trend could not be defied, so it had to suppress the unease in its heart and convince itself that it would release the Annihilation Bombs immediately after the space transfer.
Then everything would be fine.
At the same time, the great scientist's final sentence became a reassurance for all the high-ranking Waluo officials.
"Commander! Even if the opponent's energy weapons really did sneak through."
"Fighting on our home turf, can our Waluo Civilization not even withstand one or two energy weapons?"
"As for the opponent's reinforcements... as long as there is no Space Node."
"Can the opponent really perform a space jump over?"
"The distance between our Waro Star System and this mysterious Star system... is not the mere few billion kilometers before our eyes!"
"At a distance of hundreds of light-years, apart from Gravitational Wave Detection Equipment, the best astronomical equipment can only see the scenery from hundreds of years ago."
"The opponent's space jump already shows signs of insufficient energy after a few billion kilometers; cross-star-system jumping... if the opponent truly has such technology..."
Pausing, the great scientist spread his hands:
"What is there left for the Waluo Civilization to fight for? This entire galaxy would have to submit to the opponent."
"Whether we retreat or not, it has no meaning."
The Waluo Commander also nodded in agreement.
Yes, if the opponent could truly perform space jumps across galactic distances.
No matter what the Waluo Civilization did, it would be unable to escape the fate of being prey, right?
The Waluo Commander made a difficult decision.
The flagship began to retreat, while other ships voluntarily approached the still-attacking Golden Light monster.
And several supply ships blocked the front of the flagship, ready to self-destruct as shields at any moment.
The Waluo Civilization fleet had not appeared for long after arriving before they encountered the rabbit-eared female cultivator.
The flagship Pioneer soon entered the radiation space of the Space Node.
As several experts voluntarily replaced the operators to take control.
The Pioneer, along with the escape pods floating around it, began to blur under some mysterious power.
At this instant, the True Martial Demon-Subduing Heavenly General raised a large hand and blasted a Golden Light over.
Frightened, the adjutant immediately detonated the supply ships acting as shields.
Yet it still failed to stop that streak of Golden Light.
Fortunately, the Golden Light only grazed the edge of the Pioneer and flew off.
It only left behind a feeling of discomfort, as if the head had been struck by a hammer, under the aftershock.
Fortunately, it did not affect the stability of the Space Node.
As the Pioneer's resonance reached a certain balance with the Space Node.
Swoosh!
The pitch-black hull of the Pioneer vanished from the Solar System and returned to its homeland.
However, this time, the space transfer.
Caused aftereffects that left at least two-thirds of the crew unconscious on the spot.
Even the Waro Commander became one of them.
The hull itself also suffered multiple malfunctions, with half of the thrusters entering a shutdown state.
Fortunately, the pre-set programs were still running.
After confirming it had returned to the Waro Star System.
Once it entered a safe distance.
The Pioneer launched two Annihilation Bombs.
As the missiles successfully detonated.
A dazzling ball of light appeared in the starry sky of the Waro Star System.
After the light ball rapidly vanished, a scene resembling a small black hole emerged at the original location.
Of course, this was not a real black hole, but a spectacle created by the collision of massive amounts of Time-Space Turbulence due to spatial Chaos.
…………
The Waro Commander was awakened by an emergency alert sound.
After rubbing its head and waking up, it discovered it was lying in the medical room.
Rising in a hurry, it immediately saw its deputy handing over a control device.
After a slight nod, the Waro Commander quickly learned what had happened after it had fallen asleep.
Seeing that its greatest worry had not come to pass, the Waro Commander breathed a sigh of relief.
Fifteen Waro Hours had passed since the Pioneer returned.
During this time, the high command of the Waluo Civilization had also received the message they sent and dispatched an emergency rescue fleet.
They were expected to rendezvous in three days.
"The Great Scientist... is dead?"
The Waro Commander suddenly noticed an emergency notification.
"Yes, unfortunately, the doctors were also unconscious at that time, and no one could perform emergency resuscitation."
The deputy nodded somewhat awkwardly.
The rushed space transfer had taken place not long after the previous one.
The severity of the space transfer aftereffects had erupted twofold.
Those with underlying conditions or advanced age and low physical fitness were prone to problems.
As it happened, those engaged in research possessed both of these traits.
The Waro Commander sighed, knowing its future was surely finished.
Recalling the great battle from not long ago, the Waro Commander suddenly felt that if it was finished, then so be it.
Its mood instantly brightened.
Meanwhile, on the home planet of the Waluo Civilization, Waro Star.
The high command of the Waluo Civilization was in the midst of a fierce confrontation.
They had all read the combat report transmitted by the Pioneer.
And had dispatched a team of experts to conduct a detailed analysis.
And then... the results of the analysis were naturally polarized.
Some experts felt the opposition was a paper tiger, and that those magical energy weapons and attack patterns were likely Black Technology creations produced by using rare treasures.
It was not as if their Waluo Civilization lacked such creations.
They naturally knew that once these things were used up, they were truly gone.
This could also explain why the opposing civilization's offensive suddenly fizzled out in the latter half.
Considering that the opposition had only just stepped out of its home planet not long ago.
This faction of experts believed that was the full extent of the opponent's strength, and as long as the Waluo Civilization spared no cost to send out a great army.
Victory and glory would surely belong to the Waluo Civilization!
The other faction was the conservative group, which firmly opposed using up inventory to repair the Space Node and then sending a fleet to continue the invasion; instead, they hoped to plan for defense and production under the premise that the opponent would invade.
Once the Waluo Civilization had sufficient war preparations, then regardless of whether the opponent invaded or was truly a paper tiger.
The Waluo Civilization would undoubtedly be in an invincible position.
Both factions' ideas actually had merit, and both were for the sake of the Waluo Civilization.
However, at this very moment.
All Waro were completely unaware.
The Avatar of Su Ping, lurking on the Pioneer of the Waluo Civilization.
Had already opened its eyes and stretched.
