Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 738: The Strongest Team

In this situation, Xiao Yu truly felt the pressure of death for the first time.

The Neutron War Star was blocking the doorstep of his lair, ready at any moment to launch a real assault. His counterattacks had achieved little, while his own warships had suffered disastrous losses.

“For now, this is the only thing I can do.”

Xiao Yu pondered silently as he began directing a vast number of warships to assemble inside the small universe.

A heavy atmosphere was spreading throughout the Divine Ark Civilization.

The members of the army of intelligent beings might not have access to top-level intelligence, but they had seen the battlefield with their own eyes.

The Divine Ark Civilization’s forces had suffered a crushing defeat, taking massive losses, and their leader had yet to produce an effective countermeasure.

Under these circumstances, when Xiao Yu announced that a large-scale warship assembly would begin inside the small universe, the hearts of all combat personnel trembled.

“So we are finally going to make a big move?”

Roughly twenty billion warships assembled in front of a gigantic Space Gate.

This Space Gate was larger than any other. It hovered silently in the dark cosmic void like an enormous mouth capable of swallowing countless matter.

In front of it, countless warships lined up in neat formations, filing inside one after another.

Xiao Yu had decided to open up the most stable and largest Space Bridge and connect it directly to the Sweepers Civilization’s Space Bridge, then engage the Sweepers Civilization in direct confrontation within that bridge.

Numerous observation devices were operating all along this Space Bridge, feeding streams of real-time data back to Xiao Yu for his decision-making, while countless relevant scientists worked busily at their posts, monitoring intelligence from all sectors.

In this manner, the Space Bridge began to slowly extend forward.

At the same time as this main Space Bridge was being constructed, the warriors of the biological army who had not received assembly orders continued to control their respective warships, launching fierce attacks on the Sweepers Civilization’s Space Bridge. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

A series of Space Bridges were erected, and countless spaceships surged into the Sweepers Civilization’s Space Bridge like troops storming a beachhead. Then Spatial Starburst attacks were launched, the bridges were destroyed, the warships annihilated, and such scenes were continuously replayed.

The twenty billion warships stood at the ready, prepared to enter battle at any time within this Space Bridge.

Events unfolded just as Xiao Yu had anticipated.

He detected a smaller Space Bridge branching off from the Sweepers Civilization’s main bridge and advancing toward his own main bridge.

This clearly indicated that the Sweepers Civilization was trying to block his advance.

“So, you finally move. It seems you understand what I am trying to do. But you cannot stop it.”

After detecting this, Xiao Yu did not hesitate in the slightest.

He immediately issued an order, dispatching a battle group of several million warships to open a secondary bridge from his own main bridge and intercept the Sweepers’ secondary bridge.

The battle broke out in this illusory, temporary space.

The smaller a Space Bridge was, the more unstable it became, and the more susceptible it was to the effects of spatial weapons, which could knock it into the small universe to be destroyed by entropy increase and heat death.

This battle was like a dance upon the tip of a blade, filled everywhere with danger, brutality, and the breath of annihilation.

After this secondary bridge was intercepted by Xiao Yu, another secondary bridge, no, ten more, then a hundred more branched off from the Sweepers Civilization’s main bridge.

Xiao Yu likewise dispatched corresponding forces to block them.

But in the end, one of the secondary bridges broke through his interception and connected to his main bridge.

Once that secondary bridge was established, the Sweepers Civilization immediately reinforced it, trying to stabilize this Space Bridge.

The warships that had already entered Xiao Yu’s main bridge began tight defensive maneuvers, attempting to hold their Space Gate.

A fierce battle erupted around the Space Gate.

A circular Space Gate hovered in the void, with warships continuously entering and exiting it.

In front of the gate, warships clashed incessantly, and weapons such as two-dimensional weapons, Spatial Starburst, spatial rifts, and Space Collapse unleashed their power wantonly throughout this region of space.

In the end, Xiao Yu’s warships forced their way into the Space Gate, severed it from within the Space Bridge, and destroyed that bridge.

In the midst of constant exchanges of fire and constant destruction, Xiao Yu’s main bridge finally joined with the Sweepers Civilization’s main bridge.

At the moment the two main bridges connected, an extremely strange scene occurred.

From Xiao Yu’s side, the front view had originally been just reflections of his own warships and the outer starry sky.

But at the instant the two bridges were joined, the light ahead passed through without obstruction, carrying with it all the relevant information from the front.

Thus, in Xiao Yu’s view, it was as if a large number of warships suddenly appeared out of nowhere directly ahead, all staring at them like hungry tigers.

Without any fancy moves, the two sides’ warships immediately plunged into a chaotic melee.

The Neutron War Star was here as well.

Under the protection of a vast number of warships, it was slaughtering Xiao Yu’s forces.

Xiao Yu knew that the Neutron War Star no longer dared to use large-scale spatial killing weapons such as Spatial Starburst.

Because his main bridge and the enemy’s main bridge were now fully connected, the two were integrated into a whole and could no longer be clearly distinguished.

If they destroyed his main bridge, it was very likely that their own main bridge would suffer serious damage, leading to crises in other areas.

This was something the Sweepers Civilization could not afford.

Although the two main bridges were already joined and Xiao Yu’s small universe was truly connected to the main universe through this bridge, making it theoretically possible for the Neutron War Star to advance into the small universe without obstruction, since Xiao Yu’s conventional warships could not block it anyway, Xiao Yu knew that the Sweepers Civilization would not do this.

No matter how powerful the Neutron War Star might be, it was still only a single warship.

In the environment of the main universe, it could act freely without worrying about being surrounded and forced into a small universe.

But this was the Space Bridge. The environment here was different.

If the Neutron War Star dared to advance alone, Xiao Yu would immediately destroy the Space Bridge himself and drag the Neutron War Star to its death along with twenty billion warships.

Thus the Sweepers Civilization could only allow the Neutron War Star to advance after they had destroyed Xiao Yu’s conventional fleets.

However, in the Space Bridge, the effectiveness of the Neutron War Star was weakened to a certain degree, and wiping out all of Xiao Yu’s warships would not be easy.

This was why Xiao Yu had chosen to actively construct his own Space Bridge and link it to the Sweepers’ bridge.

This was also why the Sweepers Civilization had tried to obstruct his progress.

“Phew, it finally worked.”

“I have finally bought this period of time at the cost of countless warships.”

“During this time, I must find a way to deal with the Sweepers Civilization, otherwise the Divine Ark Civilization will be destroyed and I will die as well…” Xiao Yu thought silently.

That was indeed the current situation.

At this point, Xiao Yu was purely using piles of warships to buy time.

Even though the Neutron War Star’s abilities were weakened in the Space Bridge to the extent that it did not dare to act alone, its combat power was still unmatched, and there was no existence that could oppose it.

The Neutron War Star needed the escort of conventional fleets before it dared to press ahead, while the conventional fleets of the Sweepers Civilization were firmly held at bay by Xiao Yu’s fleets.

What would happen under such conditions was easy to imagine.

The Neutron War Star was unleashing a great massacre here, clearing the way for its conventional forces to advance.

Xiao Yu, through an endless stream of warship reinforcements, maintained a numerical advantage in terms of conventional fleets, using sheer numbers to keep the Neutron War Star pinned down.

Xiao Yu paid a heavy price in casualties. Every moment, large numbers of his warships were destroyed by the Sweepers Civilization.

Yet it was precisely the destruction of these warships that bought him precious time.

“We have about eighteen billion warships in total. If we add in our civilization’s ability to build new ones, under the current conditions we can hold out for… roughly eight years, and at most no more than nine.”

Xiao Yu spoke calmly.

“These less than nine years will determine whether our civilization lives or dies.”

“If we can find a countermeasure, we can continue to exist.”

“If we cannot, we will be completely erased from this universe.”

“Do not even think about running. We cannot get away.”

“I have already dismantled the four-dimensional jump device from the Solar and installed it on another Star-Class warship in an attempt to escape using four-dimensional jumps, but we failed.”

“As soon as that warship was transported into the main universe, it was besieged by at least one thousand spherical warships. It lasted only three seconds and was destroyed before it even had time to activate the four-dimensional jump device.”

“Our last escape route has been cut off.”

“I need all of you to join me in looking for a way to defeat the Neutron War Star. If we cannot find a way to defeat it, then find a way to escape.”

“If we cannot even find a way to escape…”

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment and did not go on.

But the meaning in his words was very clear to the scientists present.

If there was truly no other option, besides being annihilated, what path remained?

“That is all. Dismissed. Jason, Luka Three, Number Five, the three of you stay behind, I have a task for you.”

Jason was a student of Luka Two. After Luka Two’s death, he had become the most outstanding social psychologist. Luka Three and Number Five were, under Xu Junpo, the most outstanding natural scientists.

This team was the strongest force Xiao Yu could assemble.
