Rebirth of the Super Battleship

Chapter 807: So Big

The Andromeda Galaxy was without a doubt a very large galaxy, and within it many civilizations had been born. There were Alien Beast Civilizations, Technological Civilizations, Taihao Civilizations, and even beings like the spatial lifeform that could not be classified at all.

Everything that ought to exist could be found in the Andromeda Galaxy. Things Xiao Yu did not even know existed could also be found there. The notion of luck value was also widely spread in the Andromeda Galaxy and guided the behavioral codes of many low-level civilizations. However, perhaps because the Andromeda Galaxy was too large and the civilizations too sparse, it was somewhat more stable compared to the Milky Way Galaxy.

Furthermore, the overall strength of the Andromeda Galaxy was not as great as that of the Milky Way Galaxy. Xiao Yu did not know whether he should feel proud or disappointed about this. He even found himself thinking that if he had been born in the Andromeda Galaxy, his path might not have been so tortuous.

Xiao Yu had already obtained very detailed information about the Guardian Civilization from this civilization called Flame. His conclusion was that the Guardians here were not necessarily stronger than the Guardian Civilization of the Milky Way Galaxy.

The Guardians of the Milky Way had at least possessed four-dimensional jump, holographic defense technology, the iron sphere, and some degree of ability to resist the Sweepers Civilization. But the Guardian Civilization in the Andromeda Galaxy, according to the Flame Civilization, did not seem to have any unique technology or abilities.

“It seems that even the Pegasus Civilization or the Divine Ark Civilization, if they came now, could cut down the Guardian Civilization with ease. For a civilization of this level to require my personal intervention really is a bit of a waste of my abilities. But since that inexplicable existence appointed me as the Sweeper, I must at least fulfill some of the duties of a Sweepers Civilization. I will wipe you out first and see what arrangements that mysterious existence makes next.”

Xiao Yu could use spatial detection to find the current base of the Guardian Civilization. The Flame Civilization’s data had already given him the detailed combat strength of the Guardians. Destroying the Guardian Civilization would not be a difficult task for Xiao Yu.

His vast fleet advanced openly toward its destination. In this manner, Xiao Yu was announcing to all civilizations in the Andromeda Galaxy, I am here.

The Guardians of every galaxy seemed to be masters of hiding themselves. At the very least, the Guardian Civilization in the Andromeda Galaxy was tightly concealed. If Xiao Yu had not possessed some Level 7 Civilization technologies, he would have had no way at all to find them.

This was an entirely ordinary patch of cosmic space. A red dwarf silently revolved here, with no planets and no companion star. Within several light years around it, there was only this one star. Xiao Yu’s fleet stopped roughly three light years away from it. Mathematical models told him that the Guardian Civilization’s small universe was hidden right here.After discovering that a vast fleet was approaching, the Guardian Civilization began moving its small universe around under their control. But their maneuverability could not compare to Xiao Yu’s at all. When they realized they could not escape, they wisely gave up on running. They even withdrew the traction ships.

“A small-universe siege, is it? It has been a long time since I fought such an interesting battle. Since you want to fight, I will accompany you.” Xiao Yu thought calmly.

There were no negotiations and no pre-battle exchanges. The two civilizations were already at war. It seemed the Guardian Civilization also knew this battle was unavoidable, so they did not waste any effort on irrelevant things.

Under Xiao Yu’s control, as many as three hundred million warships were deployed. Three Star-Class warships served as flagships, each leading one hundred million ships to attack the small universe.

Several thousand gigantic Star Gates appeared in the cosmic void, and large numbers of warships streamed through them. Space Bridges were being laid down, spreading steadily toward the small universe.

The Guardian Civilization reacted quickly. Xiao Yu detected even more Space Bridges being laid outward from the small universe’s side. Five hours after the assault began, the two sides finally made their first contact.

This was Xiao Yu’s first engagement with high-end combat power from an extragalactic system. The brief clash with the Flame Civilization earlier did not even count as a battle, because the gap between them had been far too great.

“After the spatial lifeform died, your Guardian Civilization came to represent the highest combat strength of the Andromeda Galaxy. I represent the highest combat strength of the Milky Way Galaxy. This battle is not between our two civilizations alone, but between our two galaxies.” Xiao Yu thought calmly. “The spatial lifeform fell to the Neutron War Star, and you will fall to me.”

As soon as they clashed, the enormous technological gap immediately became apparent. The Space Bridges that Xiao Yu laid down were too resilient, so much so that the Guardian Civilization’s ships could not sever them at all. Even the most basic weapon of a Level 6 Civilization, spatial rift weapons, had its effectiveness severely reduced.

The combat strength of the Guardians’ ships here was even lower than it would have been in the three-dimensional main universe.

As a quasi-Level 7 Civilization, Xiao Yu’s spatial weapons were already diversified. The reduced power of space-slicing weapons had very little impact on him.

The Space Bridges laid down by the Guardian Civilization could be destroyed by Xiao Yu with a single Spatial Bomb, while on the Guardian side, even their regular weapons were weakened when striking the Space Bridges Xiao Yu had constructed.

How could they possibly fight this way?

The Guardian Civilization’s number of warships was not small. In fact, their ship count even exceeded Xiao Yu’s. At least four hundred million Guardian warships were engaged in the battle.

Nor could it be said that the Guardians were not fighting desperately. In fact, it was only because they were fighting with all their might that they had managed to delay things until now. If not, Xiao Yu’s fleet would already have pressed into their small universe.

But the balance of the battle still tilted in an irreversible way. The Guardian Civilization clearly had no ability to resist Xiao Yu. Taking them down was only a matter of time.

The Guardian ships that joined the battle varied in technological level and in shape and style. It was very clear that they belonged to different civilizations. From his observations so far, Xiao Yu could confirm that at least five different Level 6 Civilizations were participating in this war.

“These Level 6 Civilizations should be subordinate civilizations similar to Flame.” Xiao Yu thought. “It seems that the number of advanced civilizations in the Andromeda Galaxy is indeed greater than in the Milky Way Galaxy. A single Guardian Civilization can assemble so many Level 6 Technological Civilizations. In the Milky Way, all the Level 6 Civilizations combined do not reach this number. However, the quality of Level 6 Civilizations in the Andromeda Galaxy is far too poor. That is different from the Milky Way.”

“In the Milky Way, there may be few Level 6 Civilizations, but which one is not a renowned power? Leaving aside the Sweepers Civilization and the Guardian Civilization, even the already extinct Trolor Civilization was no easy opponent.”

The battle proceeded at a pace that Xiao Yu found almost boring. Combat at this level could not hold his interest.

Xiao Yu had many warships, very many, in fact hundreds of billions. Even without any advantage in performance, sheer numbers alone could drown the Guardians. But he was unwilling to devote so much computational power to controlling such an enormous number of ships at once.

To deal with the Guardian Civilization, three hundred million warships were already more than enough.

The Guardians’ ships were dwindling, while Xiao Yu’s Space Bridges continued to push forward resolutely. Later on, ships began to appear that did not even have basic spatial shields, equipped only with simple negative matter shields. The sight made Xiao Yu feel both exasperated and amused.

These ships were clearly only from Level 5 Civilizations. Since most of the Level 6 ships had already been swept away, bringing in ships from Level 5 Civilizations to make up the numbers, what meaning could that possibly have?

The Guardian Civilization had reached the end of the road. Xiao Yu could clearly feel this. The resistance from the Guardians weakened, and at last Xiao Yu’s Space Bridges finished laying down the final segment.

Under the frenzied attacks of the Level 5 and Level 6 ships, which were like mad beasts, Xiao Yu’s fleet stepped into the Guardian Civilization’s main base as calmly as if strolling through a garden.

The Guardian Civilization annihilated other civilizations by luring them to join the alliance and stripping away their potential for development. In this way, they destroyed civilizations. That meant the number of civilizations within the Guardian Alliance would naturally be quite large.

Dozens or even hundreds of civilizations, with tens of trillions or even hundreds of trillions of intelligent beings gathered together, plus their ships, their orbital structures and other space installations, all concentrated inside a single small universe, what an incredibly spectacular sight that must be.

Xiao Yu had originally had a chance to see such a scene in the Milky Way Galaxy. But during the war against the Sweepers Civilization, the Guardian Alliance was shattered and collapsed, and the civilizations that had once belonged to it all fled. That grand sight had become nothing but a memory of yesterday.

The situation of the Guardian Civilization in the Andromeda Galaxy was different.

The spatial lifeform had been dead for thousands of years. With no spatial lifeform pressing down on them, the Guardians could develop without restraint and gather civilizations without restraint.

These thousands of years had been more than enough for them to grow strong.

They had grown so great that when Xiao Yu first entered this small universe, he could not help but sigh inwardly.

“So big…”
