Chapter 956: Die Together |
When this Level 7 Alien Beast died, Xiao Yu knew that the overall situation had been decided.
Even if the Dark Star Civilization still possessed the Logic Weapon, it would no longer be of much use. At most, it could preserve their civilization from being wiped out by Xiao Yu. But as for the Central Black Hole of the Feiyuan Galaxy, they no longer had the ability to protect it.
After this Level 7 Alien Beast died, Xiao Yu was astonished to discover that the many Alien Beast offspring it had previously left behind in space fell completely into chaos at that moment, like intelligent beings sinking into anarchism. They began launching chaotic attacks. Some of these attacks were directed at their own kind, some at Xiao Yu, and some even at the Dark Star Civilization. At that instant, they completely lost order and organization.
The pair-instability supernova explosion destroyed the Alien Beast mother body and also affected the many Alien Beast offspring within that region. The number of Alien Beast offspring that died in that instant probably exceeded hundreds of billions. But within this region of space, there were still many, many surviving Alien Beast offspring, and their total number still far exceeded the total number of Xiao Yu’s warships.
But that did not matter. They had already lost their replenishment source, and they had also lost order. After realizing this, Xiao Yu quickly abandoned the idea of continuing to exterminate them. He simply did his best to avoid contact with these crazed offspring, only striking back when they threatened his warships. At other times, he let them slaughter one another as they pleased.
In this sudden change, the Dark Star Civilization suffered more damage than Xiao Yu.
The reason was simple. In the earlier battles, the Dark Star Civilization had always dispersed its fleets and mixed them into the Alien Beast offspring forces. In fact, even within the Dark Star Civilization’s enormous logistics and construction base, countless Alien Beast offspring had been mixed in, undertaking many construction tasks. Now, they had completely lost control. They began carrying out massive destruction inside the Dark Star Civilization’s logistics and construction base. Xiao Yu saw giant structures tens of kilometers tall knocked down by a single huge Alien Beast. A massive space base with a diameter of dozens of kilometers, under the dense attacks of Alien Beast offspring, only lasted for half an hour before exploding and disintegrating. Even the huge ships that had originally been carrying out transportation tasks in orderly fashion now had many Alien Beast offspring burst out from inside them…
The Dark Star Civilization had fallen completely into chaos.
Xiao Yu realized that the death of the Alien Beast mother body was not the endpoint of the universe’s causal retaliation. Perhaps, only after the Alien Beast mother body died, these out-of-control Alien Beast offspring became the best executors for retaliating against the Dark Star Civilization. Because they were mixed in among the Dark Star Civilization. Because the Dark Star Civilization had not been on guard against them in the slightest.
Xiao Yu merely watched this coldly.
Xiao Yu knew that he had already won. And Xiao Yu also knew that there had been no luck in his victory. Although on the surface it looked as though his victory had been caused by that giant star undergoing a pair-instability supernova, this result had been won through his own painstaking attacks, through his painstaking efforts to act as the executor.
“I won exactly as I should have.” Xiao Yu thought calmly, continuing to observe the chaos here.
If possible, Xiao Yu very much hoped that these chaotic Alien Beast offspring could completely destroy the Dark Star Civilization and erase them from this universe. Although under normal reasoning, the destruction of the Dark Star Civilization already seemed certain and they could not possibly be a match for all these Alien Beasts, Xiao Yu knew that the Dark Star Civilization could not be judged by ordinary logic, because they had a Logic Weapon in hand.
“The retaliation of the Logic Weapon has now fully erupted at this moment. Your Dark Star Civilization has already suffered enough damage. I wonder whether you still have the courage to use the Logic Weapon? But you probably have no choice. If you do not use the Logic Weapon, you will quickly perish.”
Xiao Yu did not know what kind of painful struggle took place inside the Dark Star Civilization, nor how many fierce conflicts happened in the process of deciding whether to use the Logic Weapon, but the Logic Weapon was ultimately activated. Of this, Xiao Yu could be sure.
Because all at once, those many Alien Beast offspring, whether huge or tiny, suddenly seemed to develop far greater interest in Xiao Yu’s creations. In fact, many Alien Beast offspring directly changed targets, completely giving up their attacks on Dark Star Civilization creations and instead beginning to attack Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu’s heart first tightened slightly, then he understood. Xiao Yu smiled bitterly and somewhat helplessly made a decision.
“Since your Dark Star Civilization insists on dragging me into the water, then fine. I will take care of these Alien Beast offspring.”
This was clearly another sign that the Dark Star Civilization had once again used the Logic Weapon.
This method was very ingenious. The Dark Star Civilization did not choose to make all these Alien Beast offspring die, nor to make themselves invincible in battle, and the like. The execution difficulty of such things would be high, and accordingly they would suffer even more severe backlash. They chose the easiest method, one that cost the least and yielded the most, and that was to drag Xiao Yu into it.
And how was Xiao Yu to be dragged into it? Very simple. It was enough to make part of the Alien Beast offspring attack Xiao Yu.
This was the action that paid the least and brought the most return. As long as Xiao Yu was attacked by Alien Beast offspring, he could not possibly accept the blows without striking back. So, in exactly this way, Xiao Yu was dragged in.
Somewhat helplessly, Xiao Yu once again began controlling his warships into battle. The Dream Star Cluster-Class battleship led its huge subordinate fleet, together with the fewer than two hundred thousand remaining extreme stellar body war stars, and once again entered the battle, launching a campaign of extermination against this enormous Alien Beast offspring cluster. The vast number of ultra-miniature warships also began moving once more.
At this moment, a rare tacit understanding appeared between Xiao Yu and the Dark Star Civilization. Both sides began jointly attacking these Alien Beast offspring. Xiao Yu knew that after these Alien Beast offspring had been completely wiped out, it would be the time for him and the Dark Star Civilization to settle accounts.
The Dark Star Civilization mainly focused its energy on dealing with and eliminating the Alien Beast offspring that had invaded the interior of its base. As for the Alien Beast offspring outside, they had very little ability to attack them. Xiao Yu also focused his energy on dealing with the external Alien Beast offspring and did not choose to take advantage of the chaos to attack the Dark Star Civilization’s base.
After all, the Dark Star Civilization still possessed a strategic-class weapon in its hands. Xiao Yu could not drive them into an absolute corner. If he pressed too hard, what if the Dark Star Civilization, at the cost of suffering backlash and extinction themselves, issued the command ‘Kill Xiao Yu’ to the Logic Weapon and chose mutual destruction?
It was just like the Earth era. Once one had nuclear weapons in hand, other countries did not dare press too hard. If I cannot defeat you, I can at least drag you down to die together with me.
At this point, the battle was still fierce, but Xiao Yu’s mood had already calmed. Because Xiao Yu knew there was no longer any suspense in the war. What was taking place now was merely cleanup work.
This battle continued for nearly another five years.
During these five years, the Dark Star Civilization finally managed with difficulty to eliminate the Alien Beast offspring that had invaded the interior of their base, and with difficulty stabilized the situation. Xiao Yu, meanwhile, had also nearly swept clean the Alien Beast offspring on the outside. Some Alien Beasts chose to flee from here and rush toward the depths of the universe, but Xiao Yu did not pay them any attention. As long as they did not come back to hinder him, Xiao Yu could not be bothered with where they went.
“Perhaps these fleeing Alien Beasts may have another kind of destiny awaiting them. Those that escaped were all large Alien Beasts. They possess at least the same strength as the Python Alien Beast in the Milky Way. The strongest among them even possess the combat power of a complete Neutron War Star. In a galaxy without a Level 7 Civilization, they would be supreme, invincible existences.” Xiao Yu thought calmly.
The core region of the Feiyuan Galaxy, after thousands of years of conflict and warfare, had finally become quiet once again. Only the countless wrecks of Alien Beasts and warships were still telling of how many tragic or brutal stories had taken place in this region.
Only two civilizations remained here. Xiao Yu, still retaining peak combat strength, and the Dark Star Civilization, shattered, but still possessing a Logic Weapon.
Xiao Yu did not pay any attention to the Dark Star Civilization, nor did he interfere with them in the slightest. He simply continued quietly with his own work. Large numbers of warships were dispatched by Xiao Yu. These warships carried one or more giant Spatial Bombs. They were taken by these warships to their predetermined locations and installed there. Their arrangement generally formed a spherical pattern. According to Xiao Yu’s plans, they would wrap around the Central Black Hole of the Feiyuan Galaxy and then destroy this huge thing completely in a single explosion.
During this process, the Dark Star Civilization did not make any move to interfere.
There was no knowing whether they no longer had the ability to interfere or had completely given up the intention of opposing Xiao Yu. But they did not leave this place. They remained there, quietly watching, observing Xiao Yu’s actions.
Only after Xiao Yu’s project had progressed beyond ninety percent and was on the verge of completion did the Dark Star Civilization finally open communication with Xiao Yu.
“Stop, or we die together.”
