Chapter 175: The Road Had Been Further Narrowed

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

When the ‘Civilization Annihilator’ informed the Milky Way of their decision, Li Wenyuan felt it was almost time to make a move.

He still did not know what that crazy Awakened Empire, who was trying to get everybody to suicide together, was trying to do, but the damage they had caused to the Milky Way had reached the limit of what he could ignore.

Originally, he had considered that the other party seemed to be one of the first ‘tinder’ left behind by humans before they left, and the matter was still in the category of ‘internal disputes in the Milky Way,’ so he should not be involved.

But now, it seemed that that ‘tinder’ had faded and became a threat like a time bomb, wanting to drag the entire Milky Way down with it.

He would never allow anything that wanted to destroy the entire Milky Way.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to send out the Milky Way announcement and warp the fleet to every place attacked by the ‘Civilization Annihilator.’

As the ‘Civilization Annihilator’ had divided the territories of many civilizations, many people wandered around interstellar space. For safety reasons, he had added a few ‘refuge areas’ in the Milky Way announcement. Among them were the parent galaxy of ‘Presolin,’ the ex-parent galaxy of the ‘Voyager,’ a circular world he had recently built named ‘Delta Shelter,’ and…well…the ‘Nursing Home’ galaxy that Gray Wind built.

The name that had a very off style was something that Gray Wind had emphasized to him many times. When he asked why, Gray Wind said, “When we’re old, our parts are rusty, and we can’t drink engine oil anymore, we’ll come here and spend the rest of our lives together!”

Putting aside the fact that he and Gray Wind, ‘individual and whole’ civilizations of such a level, would never grow old, just the matter of ‘a nano intelligence and artificial intelligence’ spending the rest of their lives together.

Just thinking about it…Alright, it was indeed very romantic.

Although Li Wenyuan was very touched, he felt that it was not the time to grow old yet.

The ‘Super Invincible And Absolutely Reliable Nano-Smart Nursing Home’ galaxy was inside the ‘distant star cluster.’ The warp drive could not reach that place, so it was indeed a perfect refuge area.

Therefore, after asking for Gray Wind’s opinion, she opened the border as the ‘Mediator’ and provided a temporary refuge area for the Milky Way refugees.

Her territory was all inside the ‘distant star cluster.’ No matter where it was, they would not be threatened by the ‘Civilization Annihilator.’

As for the other refuge areas mentioned in his announcement, they were obviously the territories of civilizations that had the ability to resist the ‘Civilization Annihilator.’

What the Milky Way civilizations would think about their relationship after that was not something Li Wenyuan would consider. They could guess all they wanted.

After settling the retreat route of the Milky Way civilizations, he began to deal with the initiator of that threat and the creator of the pseudo-natural disaster, ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ – ‘Civilization Annihilator,’ the threat to the Milky Way.

No matter what contributions they had made previously, at least at that moment, they were like cancer.

That was the first time he had fought against a ‘past lost empire, current awakened empire.’

Before that, he had been a bystander, watching the war between the lost empire and the other civilizations.

Although he had calculated the results of battles with other civilizations in the virtual world countless times and had always maintained a 100% success rate, he still took it seriously out of the most basic respect for the enemy.

Even the ‘Tiangang Battleship’ had gone to the mother planet of the ‘Civilization Annihilator,’ ready to give them a big blow at the critical moment.

Other than the direct strength of the fleet, he also learned about the technology of the lost empire through the ‘Voyager.’

Besides their long history, those ‘stagnant’ civilizations also had technology that ordinary civilizations did not have.

That was the basis for their arrogance because they were indeed born to be superior.

However, unlike that arrogant attitude, the ‘Civilization Annihilator’ was now in chaos.

“What’s going on? Why did the battleship’s combat Al and sensors seem to have failed? What happened?”

In their command center, questions like that kept popping up. Everyone was thinking about one thing, “Where was their ship?”

Due to them valuing their lives, those guys who had lived for a long time were the same as the former ‘Voyager.’ All the battleships used advanced-level battleship combat Al, and there was almost no actual person on the ship.

Even if they were an Awakened Empire adept at genetic technology, artificial intelligence was still an indispensable part of their lives.

Although their technology was not perfect compared to the ‘Voyager,’ it was still a piece of cake for them to crush the young civilization.

But it’s a pity. Why did they have to use artificial intelligence before the ‘lost robotic empire’?

The ‘Suppression Field (Ghost Signal)’ effect was unexpectedly good. All the ‘Civilization Annihilator’ fleets intercepted by Li Wenyuan had become a group of ‘ownerless fleets.’

“23rd Combat Fleet Al! Answer me! What are you doing?”

” Sequence 1: Destroy the enemy’s vitality.”

“Very good! Then do it!”

“The command is invalid. Error code 0531: No hostile signal detected.”

“What are you doing? Isn’t the enemy right in front of you?”

“Sequence 12: Abnormal sensor.”

“If the sensor is broken, go and fix it!”

“The command is invalid. Error code 0531: No hostile signal detected. The ship will automatically return in 360 days. Sensor repair number process: 3600000.”

That was a conversation between the higher-ups and the fleet Al at the headquarters of the ‘Civilization Annihilator.’

They had once given the fleet’s Al a high level of authority because of its superior combat capabilities. It turned out that was a wrong decision.

The current battleship combat Al was caught in an endless loop of ‘1 have to destroy the enemy – the enemy is not found because the sensor is broken – repair the sensor – but the repair of the sensor needs to be carried out in the combat state of ‘enemy found,’ otherwise, the priority will be to ‘return to the home port for maintenance.”

That was actually a small problem caused by the immature Al technology of the ‘Civilization Annihilator.’ The arrogant ‘Civilization Annihilator’ had never paid attention to that matter, and beating up young civilizations did not expose that problem.

Only when they met the ‘Administrator’ that the effects of that small problem magnified infinitely, and it immediately became their fatal weakness.

As a last resort, the higher-ups of ‘Civilization Annihilator’ had no choice but to unlock the operation authority of the fleets through verbal passwords and then carry out remote operations.

However, the signal in the universe had always been poor during wars. Moreover, that kind of long-range manual battle was a little disdainful.

Thus, they were ‘successfully’ beaten to a loss ratio of 0:1000 and almost defeated.

Knowing that the situation was not good, they hurriedly formed the ‘Space Army Soldiers’ and let those temporarily trained combatants personally operate the battleships to fight.

However, such a choice was not very wise. They had been ‘bullying the weak’ before, and now it was their turn to ‘be bullied.’

Li Wenyuan did not just install a ‘Support Halo’ on the Titan Battleship. Other than ‘Suppression Field (Ghost Signal),’ there was another support component that had appeared on the Titan Battleship before.

[Suppression Field (Primal Fear)]

[Component: Titan Battleship Support Halo]

[Introduction: This product is developed after a comprehensive study of ‘Presolin.’ To a certain extent, it is a powerful version of the ‘Suppression Field (Lifeforms).’ We discover that the ‘Presolin’ seem to be able to trigger the most primitive fear of a lifeform through special lifeform signals. This fear will uncontrollably lead to physiological abnormalities, which is not something that ‘willpower’ can resist. Since the scope has been resolved, we can pull the enemy into our familiar manual combat confrontation domain.]

[Special Remarks: When we combine the two suppression fields, we may be able to pull the enemy into our familiar…It doesn’t seem necessary, right?] The arrogant ‘Civilization Annihilator’ suffered another great loss, and their ‘Space Army Soldiers’ became a group of trembling cowards.

This time, they had successfully achieved a battle-loss ratio of 0:10000, which was a little ‘better’ than last time.

Ultimately, the crazy higher-ups of the ‘Civilization Annihilator’ decided to use their ‘divine weapon,’ the relic of the ‘Enlightened Ones,’ which they had not used for a long time.

Not only did that dense ball have the power to ‘see through reality,’ it was more accurate to say that ‘seeing through reality’ was actually their original ‘wish.’

The strange instrument known as the ‘Reality Penetrometer’ had the effect of a ‘Wishing Machine,’ just like the experiments they had conducted inside the native civilization after copying it.

They felt that only the ‘Enlightened Ones’ could accomplish the ability to change the laws of the universe at will.

This time, they were going to make a ‘wish’ to obtain enough power to destroy the ‘lost robotic empire’!
