Chapter 491: This Battle, the Advantage is Mine!

Inside the A211 Star System.

As the distance between the two fleets continued to close.

The Qixie Jiandui side, which appeared to have a significantly larger number and size, finally could not hold back.

They dispatched an oval-shaped spaceship of moderate size, about three thousand meters long, moved it forward a bit, and then broadcasted a signal.

When technological civilizations meet, observing the speed at which the other side researches one's own information after transmitting a certain message is of great reference value.

A civilization that can quickly research one's own writing system based on the information to achieve normal communication generally does not have a poor foundation.

Then, one must naturally pay attention to the consequences when dealing with them.

In the eyes of the high-ranking members of the Qixie Jiandui, it is likely that the other side's ships lack the equipment and personnel to research the information.

They should transmit it to the Moon Base immediately, and then if the Moon Base cannot handle it either, it would have to be transmitted to their home planet for research.

However, this would also reveal that the other side is unable to miniaturize high-computing Smart Brains.

Then, in terms of civilization level, it is highly probable that their own side has the advantage.

Even if the other side possesses some Black Technology that utilizes magical materials, they would at most gain a slight tactical advantage.

And this cannot change the strategic disadvantage.

The Qixie Jiandui, however, did not expect this.

Just as they had dispatched a ship to transmit the message.

The Human Civilization of Water Blue Star, having received these public messages, naturally knew the other side's intentions immediately.

As the Major General in command consulted the accompanying experts and learned that it would be difficult to crack the code quickly using only the current technological equipment on the ships.

The Major General entrusted the hope to Qingzhujun, who was observing the battle.

Qingzhujun flicked his tongue, nodded slightly, and then his body gave a slight jolt.

His Divine Soul had already left his body, then transformed into a streak of starlight and submerged into the unknown civilization's ship ahead.

This ship clearly lacked equipment and awareness against supernatural attacks.

The crew members were completely unaware that, unknowingly, they had encountered a Divine Soul intrusion from a Golden Core Spirit Beast.

Several managers on the spaceship simultaneously felt a headache.

A pair of terrifying snake eyes appeared in their minds.

This startled these managers involuntarily, and they could not help but cry out.

This attracted the attention of other crew members, which did cause a slight stir.

However, because there were no subsequent effects, no one was injured.

In the end, this strange incident was merely recorded and then brushed aside.

From the captain down to the crew members, no one paid it any mind.

As an interstellar civilization with a fairly long history of interstellar travel.

They had recorded plenty of unsolved mysteries during their voyages.

One more painless and itchy incident like this did not matter.

Yet they did not know that Qingzhujun had already obtained the necessary memories from these crew members who had no supernatural resistance, escaped back to the command room, and relied on divine sense transmission to pass the knowledge into the minds of the Cultivators and experts.

Thus, in just this short while, the Water Blue Star civilization already knew the bottom line of the Qixie Jiandui.

This Qixie Jiandui came from a powerful interstellar civilization that had already left its home planet for over five thousand years.

Not long after this civilization left its home planet, it discovered a Time-Space Node in the star system and realized the secret that one could cross the long, cold, and endless starry sky to appear in other star systems through Time-Space Nodes.

Thus, they embarked on the path of constant expansion, colonization, and conquest of the indigenous civilizations of newly discovered star systems.

To prevent being eroded and polluted by indigenous cultures, which would lead to the fragmentation of their own civilization.

This civilization's colonial control over the conquered indigenous people was quite cruel.

They did not even grant them the status of slaves or Colosseum slaves.

Merely for research, they would selectively keep a small number in bases located near their home planet.

In the first three thousand years, this civilization was almost invincible, demonstrating crushing strength against every newly discovered indigenous civilization.

The speed of expansion depended only on the internal struggles within their own civilization.

This kept them in a state of immense pride for a long time, and they called their civilization: the Galactic Core Empire.

Although their civilization was actually still a long way from the galactic core.

But that did not prevent them from calling themselves by this name and setting a ten-thousand-year plan.

In the next ten thousand years... they must let the empire's territory cover the galactic core region.

And if possible, build the imperial capital at the galactic core to declare the legitimacy of their empire to the entire Galaxy.

It looked very arrogant.

But according to their own ideas.

If the Galactic Core Empire could truly succeed in opening up the galactic core.

This would mean that among the technological civilizations in this part of the Galaxy, they were definitely among the very top tier.

Then, becoming the King of all living beings in the Galaxy and the head of intelligent civilizations did not seem to be a problem, right?

And in this last millennium.

The Galactic Core Empire's path of expansion had indeed not developed toward the best future predicted by their ancestors.

First, they had internal strife, fighting a civil war that lasted seven hundred years.

Then, after the civil war ended, the new imperial leadership refocused their attention on external expansion.

As a result, they encountered other interstellar civilizations that had also left their home planets thousands of years ago and had developed simultaneously to begin external expansion.

Although the Galactic Core Empire had superior overall strength.

After facing huge resistance, the expansion of their forces ultimately slowed down.

Then, the thirst for military power led this Galactic Center Empire to recall Black Technology equipment that could rapidly increase strength after struggling on the front lines.

Thus, they utilized a certain Black Technology device similar to a Gravitational Wave detector.

They found the A211 Star System.

And it was not just the A211 Star System; in fact, because Su Ping was constantly in Dao Integration with stars.

The fluctuations produced were all detected by these civilizations that had mastered Gravitational Wave equipment.

Especially the rhythmic Space Fluctuation from the Galactic Center.

It had actually long since attracted the attention of top experts.

The Qixie Jiandui dispatched this time was actually just one of the star systems they passed along their route, the A211 Star System.

The final destination was a star system deemed relatively safe, calculated by the Empire's experts to be the closest to the giant black hole at the Galactic Center.

Aside from scouting this route to the Galactic Center in advance to see what miraculous celestial phenomena were occurring there.

And whether it might be the precursor to the Galactic Center explosion that some experts feared most.

Yet unexpectedly, this reconnaissance fleet, bearing a heavy responsibility, had not left the Empire's frontier for long.

Before they encountered another interstellar civilization that already had established colonies.

Although this civilization appeared much weaker than the few they had encountered previously.

However, after experiencing many beatings in the past years, the high-ranking officers of the Qixie Jiandui, while still proud, had become much more cautious in their dealings.

This was the reason for the previous probing.

After confirming that the message had been sent, the fleet's high-ranking officers intended to rest for a while.

After all, even at their level, it would take at least twenty hours to roughly decrypt and summarize it successfully.

Yet they did not know that in this time which should have belonged to a technological civilization, a civilization that had already activated a supernatural cheat had appeared!

The Water Blue Star Civilization fleet did not have a Smart Brain with high computing power.

But they had the ability to use their Divine Soul to activate and directly invade others' brains to obtain knowledge.

And this ability appeared even more efficient!

It took only a few dozen minutes.

This was still because of the discussions held by the Major General and the experts.

The high-ranking officers of the Qixie Jiandui were surprised to learn that they had received a message from the other side.

The other side had decrypted their message so quickly, learned their communication information, and started communicating with them.

"That's too fast!"

An Imperial expert could not believe it and immediately realized something, shouting:

"It must be the ability of some Black Technology creation."

"Just like the Empire's Astrolabe, it possesses abilities that current technology cannot replicate but are useful!"

Speaking of this, the expert was very excited:

"This is definitely not because the other side's technological level is too high."

"After all, this is too fast; if the other side relied on real skill to solve this problem so quickly, it would mean the other side's technological level far exceeds our Galactic Center Empire."

"With such a technological level, how could they have such backward spaceships and that Moon Surface base?"

"Even if they had skewed their technology tree, it couldn't be skewed to this extent."

Hearing this, many high-ranking officers of the fleet nodded, and their expressions looked much better.

That's right, if the technology tree is skewed, being ahead by a few decades is already remarkable.

How could it be as exaggerated as surpassing several eras?

That's right, it must be that the other side's spaceship is carrying some kind of Black Technology creation!

Thinking of this, the experts' proposal to strike first and seize the other side's Black Technology creation became a significant temptation.

Although it was unclear why the other side would put such a good thing with miraculous uses in scientific research on a small fleet.

But such an opportunity was really hard to let go.

As long as they obtained such a Black Technology creation.

Everyone present would be guaranteed a great merit.

As for the consequences... behind them stood the great Galactic Center Empire!

Because they had an important mission, was it not the good fortune of the Human Civilization that they did not pursue and find their home planet?

Furthermore, looking at the content of the message sent by this side calling itself Human Civilization.

The high-ranking officers who finished reading it all sneered a few times.

The other side was very bold; facing their massive fleet, they actually directly scolded them for invading the territory of Human Civilization.

Not only did they want them to leave immediately, but they also wanted them to leave behind some representatives and compensation.

"Such a lion's share."

"The other side is bluffing us, right!"

A high-ranking officer of the Imperial fleet chuckled.

Seeming to see through the other fleet's ploy.

The other high-ranking officers also nodded in agreement.

Then, on the fleet of the Water Blue Star Civilization, Qingzhujun and the Cultivators all had a sense of crisis.

The spaceships began to increase the distance between them, and the Metal Puppet, which looked like a mobile suit on the spaceships, began to emit a faint light.

At the same time, some of the slightly larger spaceships opened their hatches.

Interstellar combat versions of Chixiao and Chengying mechas were ejected one after another.

Swish, swish, swish!

After these mechs flew out, they immediately scattered as well.

The pilots inside were not regular Cultivators, but they all had professional training and had received resources such as Supernatural Ingredients.

In terms of physique, they were no worse than those Body Cultivators at the early or even middle stages of Qi Refining.

It was just that they lacked talent, making it difficult for them to continue progressing like Cultivators who had entered the Dao.

However, using them as mech pilots to achieve human-machine integration and unleash powerful combat strength was still no problem.

Qingzhujun also slipped out.

Being snake-shaped, its entire body was covered in a layer of black light, and it completely blended into the starry sky.

It disappeared from the field of vision of both sides.

On the side of the Imperial fleet, they had begun their combat preparations.

They also quickly discovered the anomaly on the side of the Human Civilization.

While somewhat surprised that the opponent's observation ability was so keen.

The Imperial experts were all quite curious about those mechs.

"How could they use humanoid carrier-based aircraft?"

The Silver Heart Empire was also composed of humanoid carbon-based intelligent lifeforms.

Yet they would not manufacture humanoid mechs for combat for this reason.

After all, such a shape was truly unscientific.

Aside from looking a bit cooler, there was no necessity for anything else.

If one were to say these were Black Technology equipment, the quantity was a bit too high.

The Imperial officers, however, did not care about these things.

Having fought so many battles, they habitually felt that the larger a spaceship was, the stronger it was.

Big ships hitting small ships, more people hitting fewer people.

No matter how one looked at it, the advantage was with them!

Thinking of this, the order to open fire was issued without any suspense.

Boom!

The pitch-black spaceships of the Empire suddenly had rounded cannon muzzles bulge out from their exteriors.

Then, these muzzles ejected beams of dazzling light or fire.

Additionally, some ships did not fire with cannon barrels, but instead sprouted black holes and launched hundreds or thousands of missiles.

Even more massive amounts of Drones were released and joined the battlefield.

Some of these Drones carried Electromagnetic Cannons.

More of them simply carried a miniaturized Nuclear Bomb.

They were just waiting to get close to the opponent's ships in the Chaos of the battlefield to give the opponent a surprise.

Although the current technological civilization was already able to build ten-thousand-meter-class spaceships.

Nuclear explosions were still weapons with massive lethality.

The vast majority of spaceship hulls were also hard-pressed to resist the ultra-high temperatures and radiation bursts generated by a nuclear explosion.

The only difficulty was how to get the Nuclear Bomb close to the target in the vast, boundless starry battlefield.

The small kill radius of a nuclear explosion was simply not worth mentioning in a starry battlefield.

When any two ships truly started fighting, the distance between them was calculated in units of thousands of kilometers.

Bang, bang, bang!

Suddenly, one part of the battlefield attracted the attention of the Imperial experts.

It was that a large number of Drones, after getting close to a humanoid mech.

Were actually quickly shot down by the opponent.

It was simply as if they were cheating in a game.

And this was not an isolated case.

On more and more battlefields, those questioned humanoid mechs displayed incredible combat power.

They were just like the protagonists in science fiction... no, it should be fantasy movies.

Relying on the weapons in their hands, they achieved the feat of one against a thousand!

They even broke through the blockade and approached their spaceships.

And then, after displaying unscientific maneuverability to avoid the many beams of light intercepting them.

They point-shot and exploded the incoming missiles.

After rushing out from the flames of the explosion.

Just when the experts thought the opponent's weapon power was limited and unlikely to cause effective damage to their own ship hulls.

These experts suddenly widened their eyes and saw something unbelievable.

That approaching humanoid mech.

Actually took out a Talisman from the backpack at its waist.

This was a specially made Spirit Talisman that was much larger than a normal Talisman.

In the hand of the humanoid mech, it was about the same as an adult holding a playing card.

Drawn on the Talisman were many killing arrays that the Talisman master had exhausted their mental energy to create.

It was produced by the Supernatural Headquarters of the Water Blue Star Civilization.

And it had received help from the supernatural Spirit Beasts.
