Chapter 945: Attack, Attack! |
The slight change Xiao Yu noticed was like some almost imperceptible breeze, arising from the slightest subtlety and vanishing without a trace. Yet Xiao Yu’s vast intelligence monitoring network accurately captured this fluctuation.
First, the sixty thousand Supercomputing Centers responsible for preliminary intelligence filtering accurately separated out these data representing abnormal changes from the endless sea of information, carried out preliminary logical deductions and some work regarding their mutual influence, and then reported the data to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu then took over these data, carried out deeper further deductions on them, and tried to determine what final consequence they might cause.
This abnormal fluctuation likewise originated in the vast sea of stars of the Feiyuan Galaxy. A small portion of these trillions of stars underwent some imperceptible changes, and then these changes would trigger a chain of subsequent reactions like falling dominoes. Of course, up to the present time, these changes had not yet truly occurred.
Within his own mind, together with those Supercomputing Centers, Xiao Yu constructed a virtual universe using numerous physical foundations as parameters. Within this virtual universe, Xiao Yu accelerated the flow of time and, before those events actually occurred in the main universe, simulated what exactly those events would be. The simulation results showed that these stellar changes would lead to an extremely rare spatial disturbance, and this spatial disturbance would cause everything within a certain region to be stripped out of this universe and enter other meaningless three-dimensional universes, becoming lost there.
Xiao Yu’s heart stirred slightly.
This region was precisely the critical area in Xiao Yu’s current campaign to cut off the Level 7 Alien Beast’s supply route. There, Xiao Yu’s Canglong Star Cluster-Class battleship, as well as the Sirius, the Vega, the Arcturus, and other Star-Class battleships, were fighting desperately in blood-soaked battle. This was an extremely important portion of Xiao Yu’s forces. If this part of his forces were exhausted, Xiao Yu would have no ability to replenish them in the short term. But on the Dark Star Civilization’s side, even if the forces there were wiped out, they could draw over more Alien Beasts and warships at any time.
“Clearly, the Dark Star Civilization wants to use this method of clearing out all combat power within the region to ensure the safety of the supply route. If their forces are cleared out, they can immediately replenish them. If my forces are cleared out, I have no ability to replenish them immediately. By this method, they achieve the goal of ensuring the supply route. Good, very good. It seems that the command the Dark Star Civilization has given to the Logic Weapon at this moment is something like ‘Preserve the supply route’ or ‘Destroy all of Xiao Yu’s forces within this region.’ And there is another obvious matter, namely that the main universe could not find a suitable executor in this region, so it itself has become the executor. That is precisely why such strange changes are occurring in the Feiyuan Galaxy right now.”
In that instant, Xiao Yu understood everything, and immediately made a decision.
“Then so be it. Since the result has already been determined, even if I destroy the main universe’s current arrangement, it will still find some other way to complete its objective. Then I might as well become the executor myself.”
“I wonder how many times you can ultimately bear the backlash of the Logic Weapon?” Xiao Yu slowly pondered. “Compared to the obscure Rules within the main universe, my affinity will grow higher and higher, while your repulsive force will grow greater and greater…”
“Abandon this combat plan. Everyone return.”
Xiao Yu indifferently issued the order.
Under Xiao Yu’s control, whether it was the Canglong Star Cluster-Class battleship or the Sirius, the Arcturus, and the other Star-Class battleships, all of them gave up their current combat plan at that moment and withdrew. And almost at the same time, the intelligence monitoring network spread throughout the entire Feiyuan Galaxy informed Xiao Yu that all the strange changes occurring within the Feiyuan Galaxy had immediately stopped. Clearly, because Xiao Yu had voluntarily withdrawn and thereby fulfilled the Logic Weapon’s objective, the main universe itself naturally had no reason to continue.
In this sudden turn of events, Xiao Yu once again acted as the executor.
Yet a faint concern arose in Xiao Yu’s heart. Because Xiao Yu realized there was a flaw in the Executor Trap plan.
Frankly speaking, the Executor Trap was not a very good method. It was merely a helpless measure to salvage what little could be salvaged when facing an attack from the Logic Weapon. Right now, Xiao Yu could still do this when giving up a strategic objective such as cutting off the Level 7 Alien Beast’s supply route, something that had no substantive impact on him and that could be fought for again later. But what about other objectives? For example, if the Dark Star Civilization issued a command such as ‘Destroy Xiao Yu’s logistics base,’ could Xiao Yu really take the initiative to destroy his own logistics base in order to fulfill his role as executor?
Of course, based on Xiao Yu’s understanding of the Logic Weapon, the Dark Star Civilization was basically unlikely to issue a command such as ‘Destroy Xiao Yu’s logistics base.’ The Logic Weapon only acts in accordance with the situation. For example, only when the Dark Star Civilization has already launched an attack on Xiao Yu’s logistics base would it be possible for them to use the Logic Weapon as an aid to achieve that objective. When the Dark Star Civilization has no power at all to launch an attack on Xiao Yu’s logistics base, the possibility of destroying Xiao Yu’s logistics base solely through the Logic Weapon is very low.
But that did not mean Xiao Yu could let down his guard.
Xiao Yu divided Logic Weapon commands into two categories. One category of command was to make him give up objectives that were unimportant to him, or that could be fought for again, such as destroying the Level 7 Alien Beast’s supply route. The other category of command was to make him give up objectives that were vital to him and impossible to rebuild in the short term, such as destroying his logistics base. For the first category of command, Xiao Yu was very willing to act as executor. For the second category of command, Xiao Yu found it very hard to accept.
“Then the current situation requires me to keep attacking proactively. Only in this way will a large number of first-category Logic Weapon commands be issued, and only in this way can I also ensure that the Dark Star Civilization has no ability to issue second-category commands to obstruct me. Judging by the current situation, once a Logic Weapon command is issued, it will inevitably be fulfilled. Rather than thinking later about how to resist a Logic Weapon command, it is better from the very beginning to eliminate the conditions under which the Dark Star Civilization can issue such commands. Then my strategic direction is determined, attack, and attack again, so that the Dark Star Civilization has no time to covet the foundation of my existence!”
“The strategy of cutting off the supply route has failed? No matter. Mobilize the forces and launch another attack on the Dark Star Civilization’s logistics base!”
Xiao Yu quickly made up his mind.
The withdrawing Canglong Star Cluster-Class battleship, together with its subordinate Star-Class battleships and even more medium and small warships, joined together. A total of two hundred billion warships assembled once more and charged fiercely toward the Dark Star Civilization’s logistics base. Meanwhile, the warships on the main battlefield firmly pinned down the combined forces of the vast Alien Beast swarms and Dark Star Civilization warships, leaving them with no ability at all to launch a full-scale attack on Xiao Yu’s important strategic objectives, such as the logistics base.
In the rear of the battlefield, Xiao Yu was also speeding up related construction at full pace. Massive long-range transport fleets were constantly carrying stars, planets, and other resources into the logistics base, while countless ships, instruments, robots, and the like responsible for construction tasks were rapidly transforming these things into Supercomputing Centers, factories, gigantic docks, and countless ultra-miniature warships.
Xiao Yu intended to recreate the scene from when he fought that Level 3 Alien Beast. These ultra-miniature warships, vast in number and likely measured in the quadrillions, would become an important tool for Xiao Yu in fighting the enemy.
At the front of the battlefield, the two hundred billion warships responsible for raiding the Dark Star Civilization’s logistics base successfully drew the attention of the Level 7 Alien Beast and the Dark Star Civilization. This was a very considerable force. To deal with it, the Dark Star Civilization and the Level 7 Alien Beast had no choice but to organize a large amount of forces to support that area. This indirectly reduced the pressure on Xiao Yu in other places.
Xiao Yu saw that the Infinite Proliferation-Type Level 7 Alien Beast was now producing small Alien Beasts at an ever faster rate. Through extremely high-resolution long-range observation equipment, Xiao Yu saw that the body of this Level 7 Alien Beast, which was as large as a star, was covered in holes. These holes varied in size, and their total number was too many to count. Even Xiao Yu had no ability to determine the exact number. Every so often, these holes would erupt like volcanoes and eject spheres. After leaving the mother body with this initial force and entering outer space, these spheres would immediately unfold their bodies and transform into grotesque, hideous Alien Beasts.
They seemed to understand their duties and tasks very clearly. After entering outer space, they did not hesitate in the slightest. They immediately followed different units, either entering the ranks of the Imperial Guard Corps, or becoming logistics transport troops, or re-entering the mother body, where Xiao Yu did not know what duties they fulfilled inside, or simply following the main forces to the front lines and directly beginning to fight Xiao Yu’s warships.
And as these endless Alien Beasts were produced, the body of the Level 7 Alien Beast mother body began shrinking at a very fast rate. When its body had shrunk to only one-third of its original size, its body changed once again. Like laying an egg, it spat out a red dwarf star…
