Chapter 494: Sweeping Across

After the Galactic Core Empire received news of attacks occurring in various places.

They guessed a portion of the truth at the first opportunity, realizing that the unknown mysterious civilization had come to invade.

Although the fact that the opponent arrived so quickly exceeded the imagination of most of the Galactic Core Empire's high-level officials.

The determination to resist resolutely was still held by the Empire's high-level officials.

They also worked together with rare unity this time, with no one dragging their feet.

Elite forces from all sides were mobilized.

The Black Technology equipment treasured by each family was also taken out and installed on the warships about to set sail.

A legendary commander of the Galactic Core Empire, who had already retired and was enjoying his twilight years, was also invited out and jumped the queue to use various Black Technology devices beneficial to the body.

This made his energy seem to return to the peak years of the past.

At the same time, this imperial famous general also received a large number of promises, making him helplessly agree to return to his old profession and become the commander-in-chief of this great army.

Thus, after the front lines changed three times a day and terrible battle reports were sent back one after another.

This fleet of the Galactic Core Empire, which carried the hearts and Hope Island of countless imperial citizens, had to sail into the vast starry sky somewhat hastily.

As the fleet commander-in-chief, Stelatuofu ended the video call with his family members.

He looked at the Time-Space Node displayed on the large screen in front.

At this Time-Space Node located in the Star system where the mother planet was, the Galactic Core Empire had built a space station like a space fortress to guard it, providing warnings and supplies.

In addition, a few space stabilizers, which the Empire also possessed in limited numbers, were installed at the Time-Space Node, forming a bidirectional passage that was considered stable.

Judging from the data sent back so far.

Everything seemed normal, and the messages sent from the opposite side every half hour also always indicated that everything was as usual.

The fleet's adjutant began to ask Stelatuofu whether the fleet should pass through the time-space passage according to the plan.

So as to rush to the front line faster.

Stelatuofu hesitated for a moment, just about to nod.

His brows suddenly furrowed.

The inexplicable panic from that moment just now.

Made Stelatuofu dare not be careless.

He could become a legendary famous general of the Galactic Core Empire and still be alive after establishing illustrious military exploits.

That intuitive warning that could always play a role at critical moments had never once disappointed Stelatuofu.

"Activate the Gravitational Wave Communicator and contact the space station on the other side."

"I want to see with my own eyes that everything is normal at the space station on the other side."

Stelatuofu thought for a moment and issued the order.

On the other side of the space passage, there was naturally a space station with a warning system deployed as well.

And as a Black Technology device, Gravitational Wave communication could ignore distance to conduct ultra-long-distance communication.

This device itself required the consumption of precious materials for both manufacturing and use, and the price was not cheap.

Generally speaking, no one would use this thing unless it was a critical moment.

The adjutant was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, not daring to question the order.

As a legend of the imperial military, this bit of prestige was clearly there.

Before long, the communicator began to operate.

After connecting to the sub-component installed on the space station.

A projection appeared in the command room.

The scene in the image seemed normal at first glance.

All imperial soldiers were doing their respective things in an orderly manner in the space station.

They came and went, and it seemed that everyone was busy without stopping.

The adjutant and the other captains participating in the meeting breathed a sigh of relief and were about to smile and say something.

But they heard Commander-in-Chief Stelatuofu cough, his expression serious and his tone cold:

"Where is the person in charge of the space station? Why didn't he rush over to report the situation?"

"Besides, don't you think... these people are somewhat abnormal?"

Under the reminder of Stelatuofu's voice, the others continued to watch.

After watching for a while, they also discovered the abnormality of the space station in the projection.

It was not just that after the Gravitational Wave equipment was turned on, the station master and others of the space station should have been notified to rush over to report, but no one had appeared.

It was the Galactic Core Empire staff members in the office area that could be seen.

It didn't seem like much at first, but after watching for a long time, one would have the feeling: are they watching a silent play on loop?

Every staff member seemed to be constantly repeating their previous actions.

The tallest staff member on the edge would start by drinking water, and then after one minute, he would stand up and hand a cardboard box to someone in front.

After the third minute, he would receive the very same cardboard box that had been sent over previously from behind and put it back under the desk.

Afterwards, in the fourth minute, he would suddenly start to stare blankly, staring tightly at the desktop, and after staring blankly until the fifth minute, he would start drinking water and repeat the previous actions.

"We are not watching repeated movie clips."

"It's just that those staff members are repeating actions without knowing they have been affected."

An adjutant from the Galactic Core Empire Academy of Sciences suddenly spoke up:

"I noticed that the cups some people are drinking from actually have no water left, and the wear and tear from the objects being moved is also constantly accumulating."

"I suspect that the space station on the other side has likely been attacked by some kind of Black Technology weapon."

"That unknown mysterious civilization... has already approached the Star system opposite our mother planet!"

"To think they would arrive so quickly!"

"The enemy likely possesses equipment similar to our Gravitational Wave Space Node detector, allowing them to find the fastest spatial shortcut!"

Upon hearing this, the conference room was filled with gloom and despair.

Stelatuofu scanned the group and looked at the adjutant from the Academy of Sciences:

"You are responsible for reporting this intelligence to the Prime Minister."

"You must demand as much support as possible."

"Especially Black Technology equipment; bring me every bit of it you have!"

"As for the rest of you."

"There is no need to go to the front lines."

"The enemy has already reached our doorstep; going now would be meaningless."

"What we need now is to establish a defensive line at the mouth of this space passage, at the very least to block the enemy's first assault!"

"Otherwise, in the eyes of the enemy, our Silver Heart Empire may truly be no different from ants, devoid of any value for negotiation."

"Everyone!"

"And all the crew members of the entire fleet!"

"Behind us lies the mother planet of the Silver Heart Empire, our mother planet, our home!"

"We have nowhere left to retreat!"

With these few simple words to boost morale, Stelatuofu began to deploy a defensive formation near the mouth of the space passage.

At the same time, he continuously requested a large quantity of defensive weapons from the rear.

Interstellar mines, automated turrets—he wanted as many as they had.

As for the other side, once the anomaly was confirmed, he simply gave up on it and ignored it entirely.

Within the upper echelons of the Silver Heart Empire, no one was foolish enough to demand he recover the lost territory or defend against the enemy outside the national borders.

There was no choice; the speed of the opposing civilization's advance was simply too fast and too incredible.

They had only received news of the border being attacked three days ago.

Following that, by the afternoon, they learned that the frontline garrison had sent back no further news, and shortly after realizing their fate was grim, they received word that the emergency reinforcements had also vanished without a trace after entering the space passage.

By now, they were relying on the main army, which was about to set out and pass through the space passage.

Only then did they learn that the enemy had already struck and had silently seized the space station.

As things developed to this point, many in the upper echelons of the Silver Heart Empire were suddenly struck by a question:

Can the Silver Heart Empire really withstand an enemy like this?

And at the mouth of the space passage.

With a burst of Space Fluctuation, it appeared.

The nerves of Commander-in-Chief Stelatuofu tightened.

The three thousand various warships under his command also entered combat status, ready to open fire at any moment.

On the interface of the gravitational wave detection instrument, spatial ripples undulated.

And in the visible projection video.

Accompanied by a flash of light.

The strangely shaped alien civilization warships expected to appear did not manifest before Stelatuofu and the other imperial soldiers.

The one who stepped out of the space passage to serve as the vanguard was, shockingly, only one person.

A young sword cultivator who could traverse the starry sky with his physical body, clad in Daoist robes and holding a three-foot-long sharp blade.

This sword cultivator was one of Su Ping's Avatars.

A Sword Dao Avatar formed after inheriting the strongest sword cultivator Dao body through a Star Spirit Fish.

After witnessing the four Great Demon Emperors crush and destroy fleet after fleet of the Silver Heart Empire.

Su Ping's Avatar could no longer restrain himself, and after finding an opportunity, he chose to make an early appearance.

To give the alien civilization a little bit of transcendent shock.

As for the previous anomaly at the space station, that was not Su Ping's doing.

It was the masterpiece of the Demon Emperor Dream Snake.

It was just that the other side was too cowardly; once they sensed the anomaly, they hid at home and refused to come out.

So, Su Ping's Avatar had no choice but to deliver the goods in person.

"Is there really only one? Are there no others hiding?"

The adjutants looked at the sword cultivator on the big screen, feeling confused and skeptical.

An officer nearby hurriedly reported:

"We have already utilized twelve types of Black Technology equipment to scan, and there is indeed only that 'strange person' there."

Not knowing what Su Ping's Avatar was dressed as, nor what the other party was called, the Silver Heart Empire officers and soldiers referred to this type of biological entity as a "strange person."

After all, how could someone who wasn't "strange" look like that and appear in the starry sky without any protective equipment?

"This guy's physical body must be extremely formidable."

"Do not underestimate the enemy; prepare all trump cards."

Stelatuofu watched Su Ping's Avatar on the screen, and his danger intuition began to pulse wildly.

This gave Stelatuofu the urge to abandon ship and flee immediately.

Only years of discipline allowed him to suppress this impulse.

After taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and gave the order to fire.

The arrow was on the string; it had to be released.

Even if the situation felt terrible, it was impossible to let the entire fleet surrender at the feet of one person without firing a single shot, right?

And following the order to fire.

Three thousand warships plus the unmanned turrets deployed in the starry sky all around.

Tens of thousands of beams shot out, all rushing toward Su Ping's Avatar.

Such an offensive, forming a torrent of energy, even for Su Ping's former Transformation Realm Primordial Spirit Avatar.

Would likely be forced to retreat three stages.

But as of now, Su Ping's Avatar simply swung his sword, slashing out a dazzling and blinding crescent-shaped sword light.

The beams and space in front of Su Ping's Avatar seemed to be sliced apart by this sword light in an instant!

And the sword light's momentum did not diminish.

In the blink of an eye, before anyone could react.

They saw the friendly warships located in the direction the strange person had swung the sword suddenly explode!

"What is the principle behind this!"

"What kind of Black Technology equipment is that cold weapon, how could it be so strong!"

On the flagship, the experts observing the battle situation together with the commander-in-chief had their worldviews shattered once again.

After all, even Black Technology equipment has a beginning and an end, with scientific logic contained within it.

They were just lacking rare minerals and did not possess the ability to replicate it.

But this scene before their eyes.

Although the experts did not want to admit it, they still felt it was more like the power of gods and ghosts, the power of the extraordinary, from fantasy works!

But, vast as the Galaxy is, is there really a place that has mastered such power from a fantasy world?

Just as they were thinking this, the changing situation on the battlefield did not wait for them.

They saw that strange person suddenly wave the cold weapon in his hand again.

Immediately, thousands upon thousands of light swords appeared in front of him.

These light swords first vibrated in unison, then shot into the sky like a swarm of Drones, actually rushing toward the fleet in all directions!

Although these light swords were incomparably tiny compared to the Interstellar Warships, comparable to ants.

But thinking of the friendly warships that had exploded inexplicably just before.

No imperial captain would underestimate them.

Thus, without waiting for the commander-in-chief to give the order.

Facing the menacing light swords.

Most of the warships switched to defensive mode, desperately intercepting these light swords.

Then, very quickly, these imperial captains discovered that those light swords were also far too agile!

The Electromagnetic Cannon could not aim at the targets at all, and the missiles could not catch up to the speed of these light swords.

Along the way, only a very small number of light swords could be hit and scattered into countless points of light.

Soon, the first imperial warship was approached by a light sword.

The hull of the warship was as if it did not exist, directly pierced through by the light sword.

And then the light sword that entered the ship's body unleashed the Innate Sharp Metal Sword Qi contained within it.

In a single instant!

This imperial warship, over two thousand meters long and with five thousand crew members, from the captain down to the crew.

Were all killed instantly under this sword Qi.

The only stroke of luck was that they died extremely quickly and departed without pain.

Commander-in-chief Stelatuofu and his adjutants also saw the tragic situation occurring on the attacked warships at the first moment.

Before long, they discovered with even more despair.

Facing those light swords, the Black Technology devices they brought had no effect.

Be it the Low-temperature Plasma Shield.

Or the Ultra-thin Pure Ice Crystal Barrier.

These Black Technology defensive pieces of equipment, manufactured using special materials and capable of blocking even nuclear explosions.

Faced with the light swords, they collapsed at the first touch.

It seemed they had served no purpose at all!

But in fact, after sensing these Black Technology pieces of equipment, Su Ping's Avatar felt even more that his decision to sweep across the Galaxy was absolutely correct.

Isn't this the perfect way to receive these heaven-sent treasures that ancient civilizations have treasured for who knows how many years?

To let these heaven-sent treasures exert their true effects in his own hands?

"Let this farce end here."

Su Ping's Avatar scanned his surroundings, gripped the sword hilt with both hands, and slowly raised it above his head.

Then, as Su Ping's Avatar slashed out this sword.

Around him, light swords appeared, ten or a hundred times more than before, flickering with thunderous light!

Then, these light swords transformed into a roaring, angry thunder dragon.

It opened its dragon mouth, brandished its dragon claws, and pounced into the imperial fleet group that had already been scared silly.

Soon, this imperial fleet of the Galactic Heart Empire, which had pinned its high hopes on this, was under the watch of countless big shots at the capital star in the rear.

In an instant, it was completely submerged and wiped out by the thunder!
