Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 732: I Do Not Want It Anymore

“I had always found it strange before. I had already obtained a great deal of information from the Guardian Civilization, and among that information there was much about their wars with the Sweepers Civilization. Yet in the Guardian Civilization’s records there was no mention of these bizarre spherical warships. It seems these spherical warships were developed recently, at least after the half Four-Dimensional Taihao and the Guardian Civilization jointly besieged the Sweepers Civilization. Since then, the Sweepers Civilization has not had major conflicts with the Guardian Civilization, so the Guardian Civilization naturally did not know these spherical warships existed.”

“It appears that during this period, the Sweepers Civilization’s technology also advanced greatly.”

In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts flashed through Xiao Yu’s mind. He instantly thought of a possibility. This possibility immediately drew his spirit taut, so he at once sent a warning to the Specter companion.

But it seemed to be too late. Xiao Yu suddenly sensed that in the space around the Micron corpse, a strange change was taking place. This change was similar in effect to what Xiao Yu’s space reinforcement technology produced, but the result was entirely different.

A space reinforcement instrument increases space’s energy value, leading to reduced effects of spatial weapons. What the Sweepers Civilization was using now, however, was the sealing of space. If space were likened to air, then what the Sweepers were doing now was turning this patch of air into mercury. A person can move freely in air, but how could a person move freely in mercury.

Almost instantly, the Micron corpse’s speed slowed. The Specter companion had already received Xiao Yu’s warning. Although he did not know what had happened, he still faithfully executed Xiao Yu’s order. Yet at this moment he was like someone stuck in a quagmire. His speed plummeted at a terrifying rate.

Xiao Yu felt his spirit stretched to the limit. The situation was without doubt the most urgent. He quickly issued an order. “Specter. Use all your strength to escape, and maintain the four-dimensional shield at the same time. I will come to save you immediately.”

“Alright.” Although the Specter companion did not know what had happened, he still answered calmly. Xiao Yu then continued to issue an order to the intelligent beings. “All personnel engaged in battle, from this moment, regardless of losses, rush at full power to the vicinity of the Micron corpse. You must rescue the Micron corpse. At the same time, Specter Taihao, abandon the task of following the Neutron War Star and set out now to rescue the Micron corpse. Technology Taihao, you go too.”

“Now is the most critical moment. If anything goes wrong with the Micron corpse, we are all finished.” Xiao Yu roared urgently over the communication channel.

After issuing these orders, Xiao Yu first piloted the Tianyuan toward the Micron corpse.

“So the technology the Sweepers Civilization parsed from the Neutron War Star turned out to be this kind of soul technology. It is precisely because of soul technology that the Sweepers Civilization could manufacture imitation soul stones and manufacture these bizarre spherical warships.”

Under the present circumstances, Xiao Yu could not help but be anxious. He had just discovered through analysis the material structure of that spherical ship he had captured. The material constituting the spherical ship was not any matter in the usual sense, but energy.

Xiao Yu had once spent tremendous effort to separate a little from the Micron corpse. Through analysis and research, he determined that the Micron corpse was composed of this strange energy which could condense into a solid yet possessed no material properties. Now Xiao Yu discovered that the Sweepers Civilization’s spherical warships had the same structure. How could he not be shocked.

The reason for shock was simple. If the Sweepers Civilization could manufacture spherical warships, then it necessarily meant they had mastered the technology to process and manufacture this material. Having mastered the technology to process and manufacture this material, how could they not have mastered the technology to destroy this material.

Together with the Sweepers Civilization’s strange behavior, Xiao Yu almost instantly confirmed their plan. First, lure the Micron corpse into a trap, then use this technology to destroy the Micron corpse. This was the Sweepers Civilization’s true goal. Everything before had merely been a setup.

A chill had already crept into Xiao Yu’s heart. He knew that from the very moment the Neutron War Star appeared, this conspiracy, or rather this trap, had begun to be laid. First use the Neutron War Star to destroy his star system’s defense systems, making him think it was paving the way for the conventional fleet and thereby indirectly highlighting the importance of the conventional fleet. Then, in the pursuit battle, destroy his conventional fleet on a large scale, forcing the Micron corpse to use the tactic of besieging Wei to rescue Zhao, turning to attack the Sweepers Civilization’s conventional fleet in order to pin it down. Xiao Yu had thought he held the initiative all along, but he had never imagined that from the very beginning he had fallen into a trap.

The Micron corpse must not be lost. The Specter companion must not be lost. In an instant, facing this situation, Xiao Yu marshaled his greatest rescue force, attempting to save the Micron corpse.

Xiao Yu saw that at this moment several hundred huge instruments of strange design had been moved out from Star-Class warships and scattered around the Micron corpse. It was precisely these instruments that created an effect similar to space confinement, reducing the Micron corpse’s maneuverability to a frightening degree. At the same time, that smallest spherical warship, with a diameter of less than two kilometers, came to the Micron corpse’s side. It made no movement, yet Xiao Yu received a somewhat panicked message from the Specter companion. “Xiao Yu, I sense a very strange energy outside that can inflict great harm on me and even kill me, its attacking me. Fortunately, the four-dimensional shield has blocked this attack, but I do not know how long I can hold on.”

Xiao Yu’s heart was sinking bit by bit. When the Specter companion told him he was withstanding a mysterious attack, four words instantly surfaced in Xiao Yu’s mind, soul attack.

With matters having progressed to this point, Xiao Yu basically confirmed that this was how the Sweepers Civilization had killed the Micron Civilization in the past, through this kind of soul attack. Now the Sweepers Civilization’s soul technology was even more advanced, advanced to the point that it could be unleashed through a spherical ship only two kilometers in diameter.

“Soul attack to eliminate the Specter. That mysterious energy-condensed matter technology to destroy the Micron corpse. Sweepers Civilization, you did plan well. It is a pity you never anticipated that the half Four-Dimensional Taihao left me the four-dimensional shield. The four-dimensional shield is the best tool to withstand soul attacks and that mysterious technology.”

“Specter, hold on. I am almost there.” Xiao Yu roared, piloting the Tianyuan like a bolt of lightning across the dark cosmos, speeding toward those strange instruments confining the Micron corpse.

Flying with the Tianyuan were the Jianqi Star-Class battleship, the Rose Star-Class battleship and other warships and fleets piloted by intelligent beings, as well as Specter Taihao and Technology Taihao. Almost in that instant, the point where the Micron corpse was became the absolute core of the battlefield.

Xiao Yu never forgot that the Sweepers Civilization’s conventional fleet combat power was inferior to his. That meant that if his conventional fleet rushed to the Micron corpse’s side and destroyed those strange instruments confining it, the Micron corpse would regain its freedom. That was exactly what Xiao Yu was doing now. Technology Taihao and Specter Taihao also understood this principle and the importance of the Micron corpse to their camp, so they had no resistance to Xiao Yu’s order.

Specter Taihao arrived first. As a single-entity Level 6 civilization, although it could not play too great a role among the high-end combatants of the current situation, destroying some ships was still easy. Yet before it could destroy those instruments, the Neutron War Star blocked its path.

Specter Taihao shrieked and immediately turned and left. It did not dare to engage in even a single head-on clash with the Neutron War Star. The second to arrive was the Tianyuan Star-Class warship. After Specter Taihao retreated, the Neutron War Star did not hesitate in the least and charged straight at the Tianyuan. Xiao Yu clenched his teeth and did not retreat at all. He piloted the Tianyuan to ram forward as well.

Xiao Yu had already made up his mind. A single collision would not completely destroy the Tianyuan. As long as the Tianyuan retained even a bit of fighting power, Xiao Yu could destroy some of those instruments confining the Micron corpse. To rescue the Micron corpse, not to mention one Tianyuan, even ten, Xiao Yu would sacrifice without regret.

The collision erupted suddenly. The Tianyuan’s multilayer shield system was breached, costing the Neutron War Star only a few seconds. The Neutron War Star instantly plunged into the Tianyuan’s interior and then shut down its gravitational screening instrument.

The Micron corpse did not dare cancel gravitational screening inside the Radiance, but the Neutron War Star dared cancel gravitational screening inside the Tianyuan. Immediately, it was as if many invisible yet very powerful hands sprouted on the Neutron War Star, tearing at everything inside the Tianyuan. If not for the presence of the holographic defense system, the Tianyuan would have been destroyed at this moment.

The Neutron War Star did not leave the Tianyuan after that. Inside the Tianyuan it began fierce destruction. Xiao Yu clenched his teeth and swiftly issued the next order. “All other warships, do not worry about the Tianyuan. Rescue the Micron corpse first. You must rescue the Micron corpse. As for the Tianyuan, I do not want it anymore.”
