Chapter 163: The Milky Way’s Determination

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The battle against the ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ had invoked new inspiration after a round of failed battles.

Based on the information currently known, the most powerful space combat power of the ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ should be those controlled space ‘mythical lifeforms.’

The ‘Graveyard Planet’ that was full of fungi could also be considered a space combat force to a certain extent, but no one had actually fought it yet.

That was the combat power on the surface, but because the regenerative ability of those ‘caterpillar fungus lifeforms’ was extremely powerful, their actual fleet size might be several times larger.

The ‘Galaxy Community’ had established a temporary joint scientific research institution, where scientists from various civilizations would work together to develop effective measures against the ‘caterpillar fungus disease.’

Most of them were researching topics related to ‘how to kill a planet’s fungi with a single viral missile.’ In order to achieve results, they were developing more toxic fungi viruses.

In addition, many topics to curb the expansion of the ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ were also raised.

Some wanted to try to ‘strengthen the walls and clear the wilderness’ by exterminating all known space lifeforms and native civilizations and then fight against ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ in several ‘Fortress Galaxies.’

There were also those who wanted to spread the fungi virus across several galaxies to form a ‘virus wall’ to stop the ‘caterpillar fungus disease.’

All kinds of wild imaginations were proposed, but in the end, not many were passed.

At that moment, there was still quite a bit of time before the ‘cremation period’ set by the ‘Benevolent Host.’ The young civilizations still had plenty of time to try to fight against the ‘caterpillar fungus disease.’

Such a situation made the ‘Benevolent Host’ regret setting such a long period in the first place and not making it shorter.

“…The resistance of these young civilizations is still very strong. Who gave them such confidence?”

One of the upper echelons of the ‘Benevolent Host’ found that strange. He could not understand why those civilizations would want to fight against such a ‘natural disaster’ on their own.

According to their calculations, the number of ‘caterpillar fungus’ was enough to destroy most civilizations.

He even suspected that those young civilizations were too stupid to make such a decision because they could not accurately judge the difference in strength between the enemy and themselves.

“…It doesn’t matter. They’re the ones in a hurry. We still have a lot of time. I think it won’t be long before they realize the difference. Only these guys with strong willpower are more suitable to shake this ‘virtual world,’ right?”

Therefore, the ‘Benevolent Host’ still maintained their solemn attitude while occasionally giving ‘gifts’ to the civilizations that accepted their protection to show their ‘goodwill.’

Although there were still voices among the people of the Milky Way who wanted to accept the protection of the ‘Benevolent Host,’ the vast majority of the people still believed in their government and supported the actions of the civilized government.

The ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ spread very quickly. The civilizations that had formed the temporary federation became the frontline after the failure of the battle in the ‘Fortress Galaxy.’

Although they had the support of the ‘Galaxy Community,’ the battlefield soon collapsed, and the few civilizations retreated from their civilization bases one after another.

Some of them chose to accept the protection of the ‘Benevolent Host,’ but most of them did not yield and continued to fight in the ‘Refugee Galaxies’ planned by the ‘Galaxy Community.’

The civilizations led by the Pyro Alliance played an important role in that matter.

The Pyro Alliance readily offered up the habitable planets they had discovered to serve as the new mother planet for those fleeing civilizations.

The habitable planets in interstellar space were very precious, but out of the protection of alien wild animals, the Pyro Alliance did not colonize those planets. They only did some simple development.

Now, the Pyro Alliance understood that it was not the time to pay attention to the wild animals. If they were defeated, the wild animals would not have a good ending.

Therefore, when they provided the planet as a new mother planet for the fleeing civilization, the other civilizations realized that the civilization that was keen on improving the natives actually had so many habitable planets.

If the Pyro Alliance chose to colonize, they would become a new first-tier civilization in the Milky Way in a few decades.

However, just having a planet was not enough. Although the fleeing civilization had its own development equipment, it would still take too long for them to revive.

Therefore, the Milky Way civilizations were united on that matter like never before. The selfless dedication of the Pyro Alliance gave them a good start.

Among them, the ‘Conqueror Empire’ was the most generous. That civilization that had always maintained the attitude of a ‘superior country’ felt that if even a small country like the Pyro Alliance could offer up a ‘planet,’ they should give more to show the dignity of the empire.

Large amounts of production and construction resources were given to the fleeing civilizations, along with a few small fleets with basic self-defense capabilities.

In addition, the ‘Servant Paradise’ and the ‘Milky Way kinsmen’ also contributed to that matter.

One of them brought infrastructure, while the other brought construction drones, speeding up the process of rebuilding civilization.

The two strange artificial intelligence civilizations were still very far away from the starfield where the ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ was rampant, but they did not seem to be worried about the crisis, which made other civilizations a little curious.

However, it wasn’t the first time they found the artificial intelligence hard to understand. Just like how they couldn’t understand why the mechanical servants in the ‘Servant Paradise’ were xenophobic, they quickly saw that matter as the absolute calmness unique to the artificial intelligence.

Therefore, with the help of the Milky Way civilizations, the fleeing civilizations quickly rebuilt their civilization base and vowed to fight against the ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ to the end.

Their efforts were not all in vain. As the ex-frontline of the fight against ‘caterpillar fungus disease,’ although they were unlucky, the ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ happened near them.

However, no one targeted them when they were down. Instead, they helped them to the best of their ability without exception.

Perhaps the Milky Way wasn’t so cold at times.

However, the ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ was still raging. After the first batch of civilizations failed to resist it, the second batch of civilizations was also prepared to welcome the oncoming impact.

“…The ‘Galaxy Community’ has already deployed as much toxic gas as possible at the entrances of the hyperspace channels of the few Gateway Galaxies. It should be able to buy us some time….”

“There aren’t many support fleets from other civilizations. Most of them are gathered at the final defense line. We only have a small portion here.”

“But 1 think everyone here should understand our mission.”

The current alliance fleet commander looked around at the soldiers of the federation standing solemnly below the stage and said solemnly,

“We don’t aim to win. We just want to buy more time for the others. Finding the weakness of the ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ is one of our missions, but it’s not compulsory.”

“You are all people from different civilizations and races. We may have had some friction in the past, but now, we are all fighting for the same mission.”

“I am very fortunate to be the supreme commander of this battle. It is my honor to fight side by side with you.”

“Even if many people will be sleeping in the universe forever in this battle, we will let the mastermind behind all this realize that we will never retreat!”

Accompanied by deafening cheers, all the soldiers began to board the battleship one after another.

In order to prevent the corpses from falling into the hands of the enemy, all battleships were equipped with self-destruct procedures. However, no one was afraid of that battle. That would be their glory and their determination..
