Star Empire

The empire's efforts of tens of thousands of years are rapidly evaporating.

Before the incident, the Empire had warned, so even if the abandoned border world was destroyed, the Empire did not lose too much vitality. The moment the alarm was confirmed, the empire began to shrink its sphere of influence as much as possible and withdrew the population resident in the universe, or the troops whose combat effectiveness was not very strong, within the core defense circle as quickly as possible. This avoided A lot of meaningless sacrifices were made in the early days.

However, judging from the current situation, the empire's response in the little time it has has is about to reach its maximum limit.

The universe, the capital of the Sky Zone, which was originally the "First Sky Zone" of the empire, has now been lit up by the flames of war. Everything inside and outside the vast battlefield is being repeatedly fought for. Even the transcendental materials have now been completely broken, and the remaining fragments, together with countless other debris, have formed a vast surge under the interference of extremely chaotic environments.

"Damn it, do these hateful guys still have real reality in their eyes?!"

Cavenriel sensed the images sent back from the battlefield. The moment those Σ units invaded, they launched a huge dark gray sky like a whirlpool out of thin air in the universe. Within the gray "curtain", It was covered with spider web-like cracks and black nodes. Cavernell originally thought that it was a phenomenon caused by the deployment of certain equipment when the local fleets were fighting for the authority of time and space. However, when the crystal energy firepower approached the strange Σ" battle background "After that, those powerful information torrents and heavy missiles disappeared directly from the battlefield in large numbers, leaving not even a little reverberation behind.

Although it was very difficult to accept, in the process of constant fighting, Cavinriel read more and more parts from the huge chaotic sky that seemed to be similar to the "Illusion" spell, as well as the meaning behind the illusion. , the gap between reality and illusion. At the same time, judging from the current situation...

The soul seems to be resistant to the effects of the black node?

After the information body invaded from outside invaded that area, it was denied by the environment as external information - these crystal energy firepower that should exist in reality became empty dreams and phantoms in that environment, and was directly eliminated by the environment. "Reality" was completely rejected in an instant.

Judging from the current situation, compared with pure crystal energy firepower, the "soul structure" may be better able to understand what the environment it is in is like. When it is really unable to recognize and deal with it on its own, the soul can still rely on the baselines that once existed and the powerful Willpower forms and contends with a self-consistent structure that recognizes its existence and is complete.

"Activate the highest security communication link, compress the shield to maintain stability and ensure communication bandwidth!" Cavinriel ordered urgently.

"Judging by the intensity of the current war, maximum security communications may still not be able to meet the requirements."

"This is an order!" Cavernrel suppressed the waves of anger, anxiety and even fear that came from nowhere in his heart and continued to direct the battle. Inside the bridge, the real-life display and the virtual battlefield were all jumping at the same time in Cavinrel's heart and the structure inside the ship. On both sides of the huge ocean of chaos, various attacks from the two sides were connected and intertwined into a picture. The gorgeous but tragic Skynet.

Currently, the various strange disturbances released by the invading fleets are still spreading crazily. Many black-red jets and light clusters are splashing in the clouds and mist, and some of them just pass diagonally across the shield area of ​​the imperial fleet. The joint shield supported by the fortress star and tens of millions of warships will cause violent ripples like water waves.

But Cavinrel couldn't help but feel a strange sense of calmness and strangeness in his heart - although I don't know why, these strange fleets did not directly use weapons and power that could directly lead to the end of the world. It is obvious that they are capable of doing this. But so far, these intruders seem to be following some indescribable pattern and carrying out unwise attacks. Although it is almost impossible for the Empire to hack into their communication links to find out, they have given the Empire It feels like a large group of powerful but still madly eating each other's struggling corpses, and I...maybe I haven't been noticed yet?

Those strange, corrupted warships don't seem to know what they're dealing with.

In the space spread within the protective circle of crystal energy shields, countless information-matter conversion industrial modules are non-stop producing large quantities of naked warship main guns. These firepower output props with zero defense are being produced all the time. They are all making up for the fire suppression gap in the empire's defense line. Under the shining light spots like stars, the attack momentum of Σ's fleet seems to be slowly declining.

"All naked main guns and all marked warship firepower clusters are ready to output and gather energy!" In the reality of the battlefield, a considerable number of Σ vehicles seem to have left the "realistic stable zone" they once set. ", and judging from the performance of those vehicles when the empire faced the battle between Σ Flying Wing and Celestial Fortress...

High-level firepower of sufficient intensity can cause effective damage to them.

On the long defense line that can split the starry sky, countless flashing purple or golden stars are increasing the overall background brightness of the universe, just like a Great Wall standing at the forefront of the war, and on this huge city wall , a row of firepower base stations that have been under suppression for a long time are preparing to take back the initiative and launch a roar of counterattack.

"...Wait a minute, the situation seems a little unusual."

The next second, Cavinriel covered his chest tightly, a feeling as if he was being torn apart, which even made his spirit trance for a moment. Next, Zhai Cahir's heartbreaking words Lung-like strong emotional fluctuations and desperate screams that seemed to be more terrifying than death poured in through the highest communication link.

"Fortress Star!! Probability Collapse Field!! It must cover the entire area..."

"This is the first border node, Zhai Cahir, the sixth border! Please answer!" Cavinriel's response was quick, but it soon disappeared into silence. However, not long after, Cavinriel responded Riel, every third-level petty officer on his battleship group, including the empire's core defense layer, everything connected by the highest communication link is filled with endless noise and roar.

"The sixth border is lost, the twelfth border is lost."

"Damn it! Zhai Cahir, Eskett! Your Majesty, can you receive any relevant information feedback?"

"At the first border, we were unable to receive any valuable information within the area affected by the shock."

Cavenriel couldn't believe it for a moment. His comrades who were fighting normally one second ago are now dead in the void without a burial place? However, before he could rest for a while in this slight shock, a black-red color as deep as blood completely infected every inch of Cavinriel's field of vision:

Outside the crystal energy shield, those slightly silent units suddenly burst out with all their firepower, and the unknown beam of light that was enough to scorch the end of the universe hit the empire's long crystal energy defense line with absolute accuracy, and Kavin Riel subconsciously issued the firing order - relying on all the information extracted from the main gun to form a derivative shield. This is already the strongest that the empire can do under these circumstances, but it is also The shaky defense line finally collapsed completely without a single blow.

"This is Zhai Kahir. The sixth border has fallen. The fleet and position facilities have suffered heavy losses. We can no longer continue to resist. I have led the remaining fleet to retreat inward and prepare to shrink the defense line. Here, I must remind everyone not to Directly attack the Σ unit cluster with excessive firepower! The moment they detect excessive firepower, they will activate a defense driven by some imaginary number technology! Remember!!"

This emergency report was brief, but faster. After receiving this warning, Cavinrel received some details in his mind that Zhai Cahill had just sent back. He did not care about the survival of his old friend and his inner feelings. With joy, Cavinriel quickly read the details of the report while the confrontation between the two parties was still relatively stable:

"Based on this observation record as evidence... Σ unit is suspected to have an imaginary number defense method at the existential level of order. I call it the "imaginary number trap". The suspected effective process is: when external information strikes around Σ unit At a certain range, the "imaginary number trap" will be activated on the path of the attack information, and may form a spatial structure that we have not yet explored. Perhaps we can refer to the space channel reactor."

"After the attack information enters the gate, the original path coordinates will be decomposed in some way, and they can control the process in more detail - our attack will be reversed, and our attack will be directed towards ourselves. !!With our current attack methods, it is absolutely impossible for us to break through this barrier! Don’t focus on attacking the target body of the Σ unit!!”

"Inform all defense nodes and the core defense circle that the Eskett fleet has lost its combat effectiveness. The extremely powerful unknown combat unit we faced has executed an unimaginable doomsday. We are unable to resist. After this message was sent, the basic soul upload has been Start, we will try to continue fighting at the last line of defense node."

…

"Eight unrelated doomsdays will be executed after fifteen hours of standard time." At the capital defense node of the core defense circle, Vidoville said expressionlessly in the flagship, "Using the information fluctuation caused by the doomsday as a cover. , try to send the fruits of civilization as far as possible, I am afraid that we are no longer able to correct the historical mistakes left over."

After carefully examining the purple and gold road spread out in the sea of ​​​​stars, Vidoville shook his head slightly.

This may be the last picture of the starry sky.
