Rebirth of the Super Battleship

Chapter 821: The Arena

Xiao Yu was methodically carrying out the work of upgrading his warships. It was far too difficult to refit ships of a Level 6 Civilization into ships of a Level 7 Civilization, and doing so was extremely uneconomical. So Xiao Yu simply dismantled a huge number of reserve warships, recycled all usable materials, and after a series of refining, processing, and other procedures, rebuilt them into new-type warships.

By the time the battle had progressed to this stage, only a little less than five hundred million of Xiao Yu’s warships had been destroyed. Although this number was huge, compared to Xiao Yu’s reserve of tens of billions of warships, it seemed utterly insignificant. Countless warships were stored inside the small universe. Without ever experiencing the baptism of war, they were dismantled directly. This sight made Xiao Yu sigh endlessly.

With the manufacturing technology of the new Province-Class warships already mature, Xiao Yu began constructing Nation-Class spaceships. At present, the extreme he could reach was to build Nation-Class spaceships that were only as large as the current City-Class spaceships, yet whose internal space was sufficient to hold a Star-Class battleship. Compared with Province-Class spaceships, they possessed stronger defensive power, maneuverability, and firepower.

In the defense battle of Star System Number Four, the three newly constructed Nation-Class spaceships were put into combat. Under the cover of numerous ships, these three Nation-Class spaceships quietly took down two Level 6 Alien Beasts. Only after fully verifying their own performance did they withdraw from the battle. In order to continuously agitate the Andromeda Galaxy Alliance, Xiao Yu also abandoned Star System Number Four in this battle. The Flame Civilization became ever more pessimistic, while the Andromeda Galaxy Alliance once again held a grand celebration.

Almost all members of the Andromeda Galaxy Alliance believed that victory was right before their eyes.

Xiao Yu discovered that, within his heart, a strange, abnormal thought was growing uncontrollably. Thoughts like ‘If only the Andromeda Galaxy Alliance were a bit stronger’ or ‘why is the enemy so weak’ and the like. Right now, Xiao Yu desperately needed somewhat stronger enemies to help him test the performance of his ships.

Xiao Yu now greatly enjoyed battle, yet he did not dare to unleash his full strength. Because he knew that once he went all out, the entire Andromeda Galaxy Alliance would immediately crumble, and its members would scatter like frightened birds and beasts, fleeing from this small universe as fast as they could. At the moment, the game had not yet been played to his satisfaction, and Xiao Yu did not wish to lose this enemy.

So now Xiao Yu began doing some downright perverse styles of play. Up to this point, Xiao Yu had already produced Planet-Class battleships of Level 7 Civilization standard. A Planet-Class battleship was only the size of the former Nation-Class spaceship, yet its internal space was enough to contain Earth. Its combat power was extremely formidable. In Xiao Yu’s estimation, a single Planet-Class battleship was enough to destroy one Level 6 Civilization.

Xiao Yu attempted to encircle three Level 6 Alien Beasts and a single-entity Taihao Civilization. Then, without attracting the attention of the rest of the large fleet, he sliced these four beings, which could be considered powerful entities at the Level 6 Civilization tier, together into the small universe. The range of the small universe was not large. To maintain its stability, Xiao Yu had to continuously supply energy to this small universe.

After these four single-entity civilizations were cut into the small universe, Xiao Yu also placed his latest Planet-Class battleship inside. That was right, what Xiao Yu intended to do was to use this single Planet-Class battleship to face these four enemies.This small universe was an arena Xiao Yu had specially tailored for himself.

“What is going on?” The three Alien Beasts and the Taihao Civilization that had, without the slightest preparation, been sliced into the small universe all felt somewhat bewildered. After all, during this period of time, the alliance had been advancing with unstoppable momentum, conquering three star systems in a row and compressing Xiao Yu’s base down to two star systems. Including themselves, almost everyone believed that victory was no longer far away.

“I am the Sweepers Civilization. Now I am giving you a chance. As long as you can destroy the Nation-Class spaceship before you, I can spare your lives… If you cannot destroy this Nation-Class battleship, then treat this place as your grave.” Just as they were still in utter confusion, Xiao Yu’s signal was transmitted to them.

One Level 6 Alien Beast rolled its body over in sheer disbelief, looking at the ship before it, which outwardly appeared to be a Nation-Class spaceship but in reality was a Planet-Class spaceship, with the gaze one would give an idiot. Filled with contempt, it said, “Sweepers Civilization? And you still talk about sparing us? Hahahaha, Sweepers Civilization, let me tell you this. Immediately abandon resistance and hand over all your technological data. I can advise the alliance leader to give you a chance to become slaves.”

“Listen, this is your last chance. If you continue to resist stubbornly, then once we break through your base, everyone in your civilization will die without exception!” Another Level 6 Alien Beast chimed in.

Only that technology-type Taihao Civilization remained silent. It was not an Alien Beast Civilization; it had already sensed that something was off in the atmosphere before it. Especially after it attempted to leave this small universe only to fail for no reason at all, a bad premonition arose in its heart.

“A bunch of idiots. In that case, let me give you a little punishment first.” Xiao Yu said calmly, activating the weapons mounted on this Planet-Class spaceship. Immediately, a bright white, thick line, resembling a ray weapon, appeared at the bow of the ship. This white light advanced at faster than light speed, and in just an instant, it reached the body of that Level 6 Alien Beast.

Accompanied by the earth-shattering shriek of that Level 6 Alien Beast, a terrifying bloody hole appeared in its body. The white light lasted only for a brief moment. After that brief moment, Xiao Yu ceased his attack and sent out another message. “If you want to live, then destroy this spaceship. Otherwise, you will die here.”

The technology-type Taihao Civilization’s spaceship reacted almost instantly. It moved with all its might, trying to leave this small universe, while at the same time using every method of communication it possessed to send desperate messages. “Run, run! The Sweepers Civilization has been toying with us all along, toying with us all along!”

Xiao Yu completely ignored its actions. Xiao Yu was confident that as long as he did not wish it, no message could be transmitted out of this small universe.

After trying fruitlessly for quite some time, this technology-type Taihao Civilization’s spaceship sent out a message filled with madness. “Everyone attack together! If you want to live today, destroy this spaceship!”

The three Level 6 Alien Beasts and the technology-type Taihao Civilization’s spaceship all charged toward this Planet-Class spaceship…

One hour later.

Looking at the Alien Beast corpses within the small universe, as well as warship wreckage and chunks of Alien Beast flesh scattered everywhere, Xiao Yu’s phantom curled his lips in boredom. “How utterly boring.”

The Andromeda Galaxy Alliance had truly become Xiao Yu’s sparring partner. Under the grinding pressure of the Andromeda Galaxy Alliance, Nation-Class spaceships were born, Continent-Class spaceships were born, and Planet-Class spaceships were born as well.

Xiao Yu began to try a new style of play. Under normal circumstances, Xiao Yu would only activate three to five percent of a new-type spaceship’s performance, then mix these spaceships into the main fleet to participate in battle. In the midst of fierce combat, these spaceships would encounter all kinds of unforeseen situations. Their inherent design flaws or structural defects would be exposed bit by bit. Once these flaws were exposed, Xiao Yu would withdraw, search for solutions, re-optimize these spaceships he had built, and then put them back onto the battlefield for further testing.

While constantly improving these spaceships, Xiao Yu was also researching another weapon of extremely terrifying power. Likewise, Xiao Yu still intended for the Andromeda Galaxy Alliance to be the first to taste the power of this weapon…

The Andromeda Galaxy Alliance had become a qualified yet somewhat tragic carving knife, sacrificing its own sharpness to help Xiao Yu polish these as yet immature creations. Xiao Yu was certain that if not for having such a qualified sparring partner, his progress in building spaceships could never have been so smooth.

But in Ao Tian’s view, things were clearly not like this. In fact, at this very moment, Ao Tian was surrounded by glory and praise. After Star System Number 2 was also conquered, Ao Tian’s prestige reached a pinnacle.

“Fellow alliance members, our alliance has paid a tremendous price and taken one step after another to reach where we stand today. Now, the final victory is only one step away. As long as we conquer this star system, we will win the final fruits of victory… We will become a Level 7 Civilization and gain the qualification to step onto a higher level of the cosmic stage.”

“With everyone’s help and cooperation, I have been able to lead our alliance to where it is today. Today, glory does not belong to me alone. Glory belongs to all of you. It belongs to everyone present.” Ao Tian was delivering a stirring speech, while the audience below listened as if intoxicated.

“I order that starting tomorrow, we will launch the final battle against the Sweepers Civilization. In this battle, we must completely annihilate the Sweepers Civilization and seize all of its technology and resources for ourselves.”

“Long live the alliance! Long live the alliance!” Countless cheers echoed throughout the entire grand hall.

At this moment, Xiao Yu was looking at his latest warship. This warship was not especially huge in size, but its internal space was sufficient to contain the entire Earth-Moon System.

Its cruising speed had reached a staggering one thousand five hundred times the speed of light. It could destroy a star with a single strike, and without striking back at all, it could endure the full-power attacks of a Level 6 Alien Beast for several hours without suffering the slightest damage.

This was the most powerful war machine Xiao Yu had ever created. Any single one of the weapons mounted on it was enough to make even a Level 6 Civilization tremble in fear.

This was the Star-Class battleship forged by Level 7 Civilization technology.

“My goal has already been achieved. There is no longer any need for the Andromeda Alliance to exist…”
