Chapter 1374 The Powerful Second-Type World Breaker

In response to the questions raised by the Galactic Great Voyage, the Kroll civilization clearly stated that it was a "siege war." The only way to defeat a galactic boundary breaker and bring it under their control was to forcibly attack it through a stargate.

They also considered using warp drive to cross galaxies for a surprise attack, but that was simply unrealistic. First, crossing galaxies would require changing the fleet's structure to long-range mode. Second, the distances between galaxies in this region were too great, making it impossible to traverse without laying out star paths beforehand.

It can be said that without the Stargate Network, the second half of this long voyage would have also taken a very long time.

However, reality doesn't allow for "what ifs." The current situation is that the three major maritime organizations must defeat the second-class boundary breakers stationed in these star systems and subdue them so that they dare not cause trouble when the major maritime organizations enter the Great Void.

The Galactic Great Voyage Organization was initially puzzled as to why they didn't eliminate all the Type II Breakers. However, they later learned that there were simply too many Type II Breakers, and they were present in almost every galaxy involved in the Stargate Network near the Great Void.

They have lived and multiplied here for countless billions of years, and their numbers are so numerous that it is unrealistic to completely eliminate them with the capabilities of a Level 6 civilization.

In fact, if the second type of boundary breakers were not unable to leave dark matter, their territory would be even larger over such a long period of time.

The reason why the Boundary Breakers are so rampant in this region is naturally due to the existence of the Stargate Network. The Boundary Breakers cross galaxies through the Stargates, occupying one dark matter-dense region after another. They live and reproduce there, treating the entire area covered by the Stargate Network as their lair.

While briefing the Galactic Grand Expedition Organization on the current situation, the two fleets of the Krol Civilization also began their operations as planned.

627星河系的直径只有4万光年，而克洛尔文明控制的1号星门距离中心黑洞和2号星门也不远，分别是1.4万光年和1.6万光年。

It will take less than a century to reach.

The Kroll civilization told the Galactic Great Voyage Organization that there was no stargate for internal transportation within the 627 galaxy, which explained the strange phenomenon that crossing the galaxy took less time than traveling within it.

However, this does fit the theory that this area was the settlement of some ancient cosmic civilization. After all, it was a cosmic civilization, and its activities within a mere star system would not take much time.

Moreover, some galaxies contain natural wormholes.

Thus, the Galactic Grand Expedition's probe ships, along with the two fleets of the Kroll civilization, split into two and headed towards the central black hole and Stargate No. 2 of the 627 Galaxy.

After decades of sailing, the 17th Fleet of the Kroll civilization finally encountered the assembled Boundary Breakers in space, while the 18th Fleet was still on its way, but had already been discovered by the Boundary Breakers.

The 627 star system is the front line for both sides. Both sides are aware of each other's existence and have deployed or dispatched a large number of probe ships to patrol the star system. Basically, as long as a large fleet makes any move, it cannot escape each other's notice.

This situation is very common, so whether in the 627 galaxy or other frontline galaxies, the two sides are actually always fighting. The main fleet battles do not take place every day, but the contest between the exploration ship fleets is always present.

In the dark starry sky of this vast galaxy, whenever the two sides' probe ships meet, they will exchange fire, and sometimes the fighting will escalate into a large-scale battle.

The outcome of the main fleet battle directly determines the ownership of the entire star system, because the victor usually presses his advantage and controls all the stargates of the star system.

Controlling a stargate is practically equivalent to controlling the entire galaxy. Having the initiative means being able to call for reinforcements or block enemy support fleets with ease. Typically, after capturing a stargate, a cleanup operation is initiated to annihilate all enemy probes within the galaxy.

One can imagine that a galaxy has a radius of tens of thousands of light-years, and such a struggle would inevitably be protracted. Just the task of clearing out the opponent's probe ships could be the subject of a novel written from the perspective of a lowly soldier piloting a spaceship.

In wars between civilizations like this, capital ships generally do not participate in the cleanup of the enemy's remaining forces, unless the enemy still has a main fleet that has not been destroyed.

The Kroll civilization told the Galactic Great Voyage Organization that their cleanup operations were generally carried out by the civilizations under the organization, but these were all done by star-class, planetary-class, sea-class, and mountain-class warships, which were the battlefields for small warships.

This time, the exploration ships of the Great Voyage Organization, which had followed the Kroll civilization all the way, also got to see the legendary second-type boundary breakers.

Of course, we also saw the combat strength of the Krol civilization.

From the detector's perspective, the second type of boundary breaker is no different from the boundary breakers; they are also dark matter life forms, and also exist invisibly to the naked eye. However, the Kroll civilization told the Great Voyage Organization that there are still differences between the two.

Firstly, the boundary breakers are naturally existing life forms, and their shapes are more like living organisms. The second type of boundary breakers evolved from level six civilizations, and if you look closely, you will find that their shapes are more regular.

The Krol civilization once retrieved the bodies of those second-class boundary breakers who had been killed.

According to their analysis, the second type of boundary breaker's body is shaped like a warship, but it uses dark matter instead of visible matter. Of course, it's not a dark matter warship, but more like a biological shell.

Their individual lives, through some unknown means, shed their physical bodies of visible matter and then covered their consciousness with a body of dark matter. Their souls were well integrated with the dark matter body, making them essentially dark matter life forms.

However, their mindset is still rooted in technological civilization.

Therefore, they have more ways to attack the material world than natural boundary breakers. In addition to the "void-generated black hole" attack method that boundary breakers are born with, they also have thermal dark matter rays and space-cutting attack methods.

The most crucial element is their movement speed. Each Type II Breaker possesses warp drive capabilities at nearly four hundred times the speed of light, and some exceptionally powerful Type II Breakers can even reach six hundred times the speed of light, which is almost three times that of a typical Level 6 civilization.

Of course, a warp speed of nearly 600 times cannot be sustained.

However, it's quite tricky.

This is why they are called a quasi-cosmic civilization.

According to the Kroll civilization, they fought against the second-type boundary breakers for 20 million years, and the number of top boundary breakers they killed did not exceed one hundred.
