Rebirth of the Super Battleship

Chapter 482: Beaten into a Eunuch

The Alien Beast race seems to follow a certain pattern, namely that the stronger one is, the larger the body. From that Infinite Proliferation-Type Alien Beast Xiao Yu encountered, to the Level 4 Alien Beast that kept tangling with Xiao Yu, to the White Dwarf Alien Beast, and now to Alien Beast Taihao and the Crocodilian Race Alien Beast, it is all the same. Each body is larger than the last, and each strength is greater than the last.

The Infinite Proliferation-Type Alien Beast encountered back then looked as large as a planet on the surface, but that was because it had devoured a planet. If it spat that planet back out, it would definitely not be larger than that Level 4 Alien Beast.

This time, beside the brown dwarf, two Alien Beasts appeared that seemed as large as planets. If Xiao Yu had seen this scene, he would certainly have fled at once, as far as he could. Battles at this tier are not something Xiao Yu can approach. He cannot even watch. Perhaps a single ripple could take out the Asia spaceship.

The Crocodilian Alien Beast had fully unfurled its body. It still maintained its orbit around the brown dwarf. Alien Beast Taihao remained relatively stationary with it, always keeping a distance of roughly five million kilometers.

Hearing the Crocodilian Alien Beast inquire, Alien Beast Taihao replied, “Nothing much. I just came to take a look at you, and to teach you a lesson on the way.”

The battle erupted very abruptly. Alien Beast Taihao did not speak a second sentence. Right after saying the words ‘just to teach you a lesson on the way.’ it immediately advanced and vanished from the visible universe.

It once again entered curvature flight. At a speed as high as 140 times lightspeed, it took only 0.1 seconds to cross that five million kilometers, then returned from curvature space to the visible universe, and a massive tail lashed toward the Crocodilian Alien Beast.

The hallmark of a Level 6 Civilization is an initial grasp of space technology. This grading applies to Alien Beasts and to Technological Civilizations alike. Since it can be a Level 6 Alien Beast, it must have mastered the relevant space technology. This point was confirmed in Alien Beast Taihao. Its tail exceeded three hundred kilometers in length. When it first lashed down, one could vaguely see the jagged scale armor on that thick tail. After an extremely short moment, the tail disappeared. It was entirely wrapped in a mass of black mist, making the tail look like a black rod.

This was obviously a sign that the space around the tail had been torn and collapsed under the strike. In that single attack, Alien Beast Taihao had already employed space technology.

“Taihao’s are all a bunch of unreasonable fellows!” In the rush, the Crocodilian only had time to send out this message, and that pitch-black tail came lashing straight down.The Crocodilian raised its forelimbs and with difficulty braced against the blow of that tail. At the instant of contact between the limbs of the two powerful Alien Beasts, a great deal of flesh and blood splattered. Accompanied by a roar from the Crocodilian, its body, as large as a star, was whipped straight backward.

This exchange caused an extremely intense effect on space. Xiao Yu had once undertaken research on what kind of influence an extremely high energy level would have on space. Carrying out this research required building a supermassive particle accelerator that encircled a star. Only such a gigantic particle accelerator could endow two beams of particles with sufficient energy, so that when they collided, they could release forces enough to affect space, allowing Xiao Yu to conduct his research.

Yet phenomena that in Xiao Yu’s view could only occur inside a giant particle collider and only at the particle level now appeared in the macroscopic world. The collision of the two powerful Alien Beasts actually produced a phenomenon of the same nature as in a particle collider, only on a far larger scale.

If Xiao Yu had been watching from the side at this moment, this single phenomenon would have been enough to save him at least fifty years of painstaking research in this area.

After this single collision, the originally relatively stationary Crocodilian instantly reached a relative velocity of more than two hundred thousand kilometers per second. This implies an unimaginably terrifying overload force. Even the Village-Class spaceships with the best maneuverability in Xiao Yu’s fleet could only be flattened into a thin sheet under such powerful and rapid acceleration pressure.

An angry roar echoed out. The massive crocodile struggled with all its might in the void of space, striving to reduce its speed. It had originally been twenty million kilometers from the brown dwarf, but now that distance had shrunk to less than ten million kilometers, and it was still rapidly decreasing. In the end, it plunged headfirst into the brown dwarf.

It had been knocked by Alien Beast Taihao’s tail into that failed star. Its initial speed was more than two hundred thousand kilometers per second, and after it desperately decelerated, its collision speed with the star was roughly fifty thousand kilometers per second.

For reference, back then in the Solar System, the collision speed between the moon and Jupiter was less than three hundred kilometers per second. Now, the collision speed between this Alien Beast and the brown dwarf was nearly fifty thousand kilometers per second. The brown dwarf’s mass was at least ten times that of Jupiter, while the Alien Beast’s mass was a bit less than the moon’s.

What kind of violent impact did this imply? The effects of the Jupiter-Moon Collision had swept the entire Solar System back then, let alone this collision.

A brown dwarf is a failed star. Nuclear fusion cannot occur inside it, so it does not emit light. Yet at this moment, when the impact occurred, it actually released an extremely intense radiance. In a short time, its luminosity rose to the equivalent of tens of thousands of times that of the Sun.

With the help of this radiance, Alien Beast Taihao clearly saw the impact’s effects on the brown dwarf.

At extremely high speeds, there is no difference between hitting rarefied gas and hitting hard steel plate. This collision was so fast that it brought severe effects to the entire star in an instant. This impact was like a candle flame that lit up the whole star.

Countless gases churned, vast amounts of gas were ejected, the light was intense, the radiation was intense. In this moment the brown dwarf possessed a majesty akin to that of a true star.

But Alien Beast Taihao knew that a collision at this tier could not kill a Level 6 Alien Beast, nor even cause it serious harm. So Alien Beast Taihao waited quietly for a moment, then once again, without hesitation, entered curvature space, spent a fraction of a second to arrive at the surface of the brown dwarf, and plunged in as well.

The battlefield shifted from the void of space to the interior of the brown dwarf. Amid dense gases and an environment of extreme high temperature and pressure, the two formidable existences launched a peerless battle.

Because the fight took place inside the brown dwarf, it could not be directly observed from outside. However, from the external behavior of the brown dwarf, one could still roughly infer the level of this battle.

After Alien Beast Taihao also burrowed into the brown dwarf, the luminosity of the brown dwarf rose another notch and it became even brighter. Some matter that had turned into plasma was flung out by the surging internal motions of the star, spreading wantonly through space. There was even some matter being ejected along the star’s two poles, like the jets formed when a black hole devours matter.

It could not even maintain an overall spherical shape. The battle within twisted it into an irregular object, like a fragile balloon being wantonly squeezed by a child’s hands.

No one knew exactly what was happening inside the brown dwarf.

The battle continued, and the brown dwarf grew ever brighter.

Time passed slowly. The battle lasted a full year. The star’s luminosity seemed to have grown to its limit, and it could no longer withstand the immense pressure from within. With a thunderous detonation, it exploded. At the most intense and most splendid moment of its life, it exploded.

A small brown dwarf, at this moment, actually possessed a hint of the might of a supernova explosion. Boundless gas was hurled into the cosmic void, arrogantly occupying what had been empty space, growing larger and larger.

Thus this brown dwarf was destroyed.

Amid the endless outflowing gas and under the glare of intense light, two tiny black dots suddenly appeared. One tiny black dot was rapidly departing. After moving a certain distance away, it abruptly vanished. It had entered curvature flight and fled at speed.

The other tiny black dot remained near the brown dwarf. Only at close range did it become clear that this was Alien Beast Taihao.

At this moment, its body was covered in crisscrossing wounds, some several kilometers deep and tens of kilometers long. Countless unidentified fluids streamed across its body. It seemed to have sustained some injuries in this battle as well.

In its hand it held a limp, whip-like object dozens of kilometers long and about a few kilometers in diameter. The look in its eyes toward space was full of mockery.

“Hmph, count yourself lucky to have run fast. I will let you go this time. This small punishment is your warning. If you dare again to set your sights on the Divine Ark Civilization, what I take from you next will not be your reproductive organ, but your thinking organ.”

“You have already and forever lost the ability to reproduce offspring, so behave yourself and live as a eunuch.”

Facing the universe that was no longer pitch-dark, a message was sent out from Alien Beast Taihao.
