Rebirth of the Super Battleship

Chapter 815: Traitors and Justice

A message filled with grief and righteous indignation echoed through this stretch of space.

“Your invasion has caused tremendous losses to the development of the civilizations in our Andromeda Galaxy. According to our statistics, at least more than thirty civilizations and tens of thousands of billions of intelligent beings died in this war of aggression. Even the Guardian Civilization, which had always maintained stability in the galaxy’s situation and made outstanding contributions to the development of the Andromeda Galaxy, was completely annihilated by you, all of its intelligent beings wiped out. You have committed monstrous crimes in our Andromeda Galaxy, and you must pay the price for them.”

Xiao Yu had no idea how many lower-level civilizations had been affected and exterminated when he attacked the Guardian Civilization’s small universe. He had never paid any attention to those lower-level civilizations, so there was no way he could have deliberately targeted them. In fact, when the Guardian Civilization saw the lower-level civilizations fleeing in panic, it was the Guardian Civilization that, under the pretext of punishment, controlled the small universe to launch a number of attacks.

“Fellow compatriots, though we belong to different civilizations and possess different technological progress and customs and cultures, we all live and develop beneath the same starry sky of the Andromeda Galaxy. This is our homeland. Everything we have is here. My compatriots, tell me, in our homeland, can we allow outsiders to run wild as they please?” The message, full of rage and passion, continued to reverberate.

“No, we cannot. Our homeland cannot allow an outsider to run wild here!”

“Detestable invader, get out of our galaxy!”

“We must avenge those innocent compatriots who died!”

Countless messages appeared in this region of space. More than sixty billion warships, every warship shouting out its own voice, proclaiming its wrath.

This was somewhat beyond Xiao Yu’s expectations and made him reassess the commander and organizer of this vast alliance. Xiao Yu watched his performance with some amusement, yet in his heart his evaluation of this person rose another notch.

“Unless a Level 7 or even higher civilization sits in town, a galaxy cannot truly be unified. In other words, the concept of territory for a galaxy is vague and meaningless. Yet this organizer has cleverly blurred the concepts here, first placing himself on the side of justice, then using the banner of righteousness to inflame a sense of shared hatred on his own side, while concealing his true intent of plundering my technology. This fellow is quite a talent.” Xiao Yu thought to himself. “Unfortunately, this still is not enough for me to take him seriously.”“You have gone too far, all of you. A bunch of ungrateful wretches. Back then, it was our civilization that stepped forward and begged the Sweepers Civilization tirelessly, and only then did the Sweepers Civilization refrain from attacking the other civilizations during the extermination of the Guardian Civilization. Those civilizations that were destroyed were all annihilated by the Guardian Civilization under the pretext of punishment. It was the Sweepers Civilization that spared you and allowed your civilizations to continue. Yet you harbor sinister intentions, rallying so many civilizations together in an attempt to plunder the Sweepers Civilization’s technology. You are the real bandits. All this talk about defending your homeland and expelling an invader is nothing more than a pretext for robbing technology.”

“Furthermore, everyone is fully aware of the hypocritical true face of the Guardian Civilization. It stripped away the developmental potential of other civilizations to fuel its own progress. The Guardian Civilization was the true scourge of the galaxy. The Sweepers Civilization was in the right to annihilate the Guardian Civilization. You vile creatures, turning black into white and confusing right and wrong.”

Xiao Yu could not even be bothered to explain. He had no desire to argue with these civilizations. Anyone who dared to come and make trouble for him would simply be wiped out, so why waste the effort. The Flame Civilization, however, could no longer suppress its anger and jumped out at this moment.

Ao Tian stood inside the largest spaceship of the Andromeda Galaxy Alliance. Facing the holographic projection before him, a wickedly charming smile appeared on his face.

“The female intelligent beings of the Flame Civilization are all extraordinarily beautiful. Previously, I held back because of my status, but now I no longer have any scruples. After I eliminate the Sweepers Civilization, I will gather all the beauties of the Flame Civilization for myself.”

While thinking this in his heart, Ao Tian’s voice was full of righteous fury. “Flame Civilization, you traitors of the Andromeda Galaxy. You lived under the protection of the Guardian Civilization yet shamelessly betrayed the entire alliance, serving as the vanguard scout for the Sweepers Civilization and leading disaster upon the alliance, causing the deaths of countless intelligent beings. You are the true culprits. And now you even collude with the invader. I do not know what benefits the Sweepers Civilization promised you. You degenerates, you traitors, you will ultimately be nailed to the pillar of shame in the developmental history of our Andromeda Galaxy.”

“Despicable invader, you still have a chance to atone for your sins. Hand over all the technological development data of your civilization and leave at least one hundred large warships as compensation, then immediately depart from the Andromeda Galaxy. We can spare your life.”

“You, you…” The leader of the Flame Civilization was shaking with rage, yet could no longer utter a single word. At this moment, Xiao Yu’s message arrived.

Xiao Yu’s voice remained calm with no hint of fluctuation. He said mildly, “Flame Civilization, do you still intend to beg me to show mercy now?”

The leader of the Flame Civilization shook his head bitterly. “No, no more. This is a pack of bandits cloaked in the garb of justice. Their purpose is purely to plunder technology, yet they speak in such righteous tones. Such ungrateful civilizations do not deserve to exist in this universe.”

“Very well, then step back. Leave matters here to me.” Xiao Yu said.

“But they have more than sixty billion warships, tens of thousands of lower-level civilizations, over three hundred billion warships, and tens of thousands of stars as their logistical support. Although you are an existence close to a Level 7 civilization, can you truly face such a powerful enemy?” the leader of the Flame Civilization asked, full of worry.

“That is not something you need to concern yourselves with.” Xiao Yu said calmly. “Stay honestly within the small universe and just watch. From now on, the entire Andromeda Galaxy will be your world. I will sweep away every Andromeda Galaxy civilization that participates in this battle.”

“We have already given the invader the chance to atone, but he stubbornly refuses to accept it. Then the only thing left for us to do is fight. The evil invader is hiding inside this small universe. As long as we break this small universe, we can exterminate the invader. My compatriots, attack. Kill every outsider who dares to invade our Andromeda Galaxy.” Ao Tian shouted hoarsely in the command room. “I order that the general offensive begin.”

The colossal war thus began. Nearly seven hundred years had passed since Xiao Yu had breached the Guardian Civilization’s small universe. It was during these seven hundred years that Ao Tian had organized nearly all the advanced civilizations and a large portion of the lower-level civilizations within the Andromeda Galaxy, throwing everything into war preparations and finally forging this nearly unstoppable power.

Of the more than sixty billion warships, a full forty billion had joined this war, while the rest stayed behind, tightly guarding the entire logistics base. These forty billion warships were divided into more than a hundred smaller groups that began breaking into the small universe from different directions. The tightness of their organization and the coordination between them even drew a sigh of admiration from Xiao Yu.

“I am truly becoming more and more curious about the organizer of this alliance. I wonder what kind of intelligent being possesses such formidable ability. Hundreds of billions of warships and intelligent beings on the order of a hundred trillion, yet under the command of this organizer they act as if they were a single civilization. This is already at about sixty percent of my own battle formation organizational ability.” Xiao Yu sighed inwardly.

Xiao Yu could directly control warships, so his command flowed as naturally as moving his own arm. The organizer of this alliance was, without a doubt, an intelligent being, and for a single intelligent being to possess such ability was truly terrifying.

Xiao Yu had already taken control of roughly three hundred million warships in preparation for the coming war. If he allocated all of his computational power, he could control even more warships, but he did not intend to do that. His analysis of the small universe left behind by the Level 7 civilization had reached a critical stage, and compared to that project, everything else was a minor matter.

At this moment, the Flame Civilization was as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Though they knew Xiao Yu’s capabilities, they still harbored great doubts about the current war situation. To pit three hundred million warships against more than forty billion warships, even with a vast technological gap, did not look like a recipe for victory. What was more, among those forty billion warships, there were at least one hundred powerful single-entity civilizations mixed in.

“Great Sweepers Civilization, although your technological level is beyond question, we truly have no need to fight a head-on battle here against all the advanced civilizations in the Andromeda Galaxy. They cannot match your mobility. It would be better for you to retreat for the time being, move far away from here, and after some time has passed, the Andromeda Galaxy Alliance is certain to fall apart. At that point, you can completely destroy them one by one through attrition.” the leader of the Flame Civilization said, trembling with fear.

Xiao Yu replied, somewhat amused, “Just stay honestly in your own star system and watch. I have my own plans for what happens here.”

Seeing Xiao Yu speak so, the Flame Civilization could only suppress their unease and enter into a state of anxious waiting. At that moment, in the void between the small universe and the main universe, on the Space Bridge constructed between both sides, fierce exchanges of fire finally erupted.
