Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 354 Ugh! Disgusting!

At this moment, the entire battlefield descended into madness.

Li Qingsong observed that the Purple Moon warships seemed to no longer care about their unified force field. In a certain direction directly facing their own space carrier cluster, the density of warships was rapidly increasing, and correspondingly, the pressure on their defenses was also increasing.

Not only that, Li Qingsong even witnessed an astonishing scene.

Those logistics support ships, supply ships, and even habitation ships that were originally kept outside the battlefield and were under strict protection all began to maneuver at this moment.

Are non-combat ships also maneuvering? What are they trying to do?
Li Qingsong's question was answered in the next moment.

He saw that the non-combat ships were accelerating at maximum power and then rushing straight towards the direction where the Purple Moon warships were the most numerous, the most aggressive, and the most pressured in their defenses!
This is clearly an intention to use itself as a weapon, relying on the enormous mass of the non-combat spaceship and the enormous kinetic energy generated by that mass, to break through our defenses and inflict damage!
A large habitation spacecraft can easily be tens or even hundreds of kilometers in size, and some are even larger than space carriers.

Their mass is often in the hundreds of millions of tons. With such immense mass and speeds of hundreds or thousands of kilometers per second, how can such a ferocious beast be stopped?
This is suicidal! This person wants to die together with their own side!
Li Qingsong felt a deep sense of gravity.

He simply couldn't understand how the Purple Moon Warriors possessed such a resolute fighting spirit.

For a legitimate intelligent civilization, sending so many warriors to carry out an extremely dangerous mission with a very low chance of survival is already difficult enough.
Maintaining sufficient morale and combat effectiveness among these soldiers while carrying out this mission is even more challenging.
But to do something like this, not only did they demonstrate their fighting strength and inflict enormous pressure and casualties on their own side in the early stages of the war, but now they still have the courage to completely abandon any hope of survival and launch a suicide attack, which is unimaginably difficult.

Just how high is the level of integration within this Purple Moon civilization?
Li Qingsong sensed a huge crisis.

At this moment, the Purple Moon Fleet has gone berserk, launching a fierce attack on one side of its own main fleet at all costs.

Behind the defensive line lies its own aerospace carrier group.

With the flying star and the packaged asteroids already depleted, the supplies stored on those space carriers are their lifeline.

If lost, one's clone might starve to death.

Perhaps... we could change the ship layout and move those space carriers to a more central location within the main fleet?
But the other spaceships are equally important. For example, habitation spaceships, research spaceships, industrial spaceships, and so on.

In the main fleet, no ship is insignificant. Once the defenses are breached, regardless of which ships are destroyed, the fleet will suffer heavy losses.

Now it seems that, faced with the Purple Moon Fleet's suicidal tactics, it is impossible for them to hold out.

Therefore... the only solution is to use a unified force field.

A sudden realization dawned on Li Qingsong's mind.

I know that a unified force field should be used in this situation.

The Purple Moon Warriors were also aware that they possessed the strategic weapon of the Unified Force Field.

However, they still launched this attack that "can only be countered by using a unified force field," actively and intentionally gathering their own warships together, and, as if afraid that the bait was not heavy enough, activating their own non-combat ships to rush into the battlefield.

So, what is their real intention...?

They are pushing themselves!

Forced to unleash a unified force field, destroy their warships and spaceships, and reap their lives!

The ultimate goal is... to deprive myself of the ability to continue pursuing the Purple Moon Fleet!
At this moment, while their own supplies have been greatly depleted and their warships have suffered heavy losses, the Purple Moon Fleet is also facing a shortage of supplies and a drastic reduction in the number of warships.

I still have the ability to continue the pursuit and win the battle.

However, if the unified force field were used now... the simultaneous consumption of resources and this strategic weapon would make it pointless to continue pursuing the Purple Moon Fleet.

Even if they catch up, there's a very high probability they won't be able to defeat the opponent.

Then our side will have no choice but to abandon the pursuit and choose to dock in a star system for resupply, so that the Purple Moon Fleet can take the opportunity to escape.

Using a unified force field will cause the user to lose the ability to continue the pursuit.

Without even needing to deploy a unified force field, they would suffer heavy losses under our relentless offensive.

At this moment, Li Qingsong only had these two choices; there was no other way to go.

That being the case...

"I will grant your wish."

At this moment, Li Qingsong felt no contempt for his enemies, only respect for his true adversary.

Li Qingsong's killing intent towards the Purple Moon Civilization did not diminish in the slightest. His determination to annihilate the Purple Moon Civilization and kill all its intelligent life forms remained unwavering.

But this does not prevent him from giving his opponents the respect they deserve.

Because the Purple Moon Warriors proved through their actions that they deserve our respect.

The greatest respect is to annihilate them completely.

Then let's wipe them all out!
The space carrier carrying the unified force field components began to move, and with the busy work of countless intelligent machines and robots, it was laid out one by one in space.

Then, under the utmost protection of their own defenses, they were completely connected into a single unit.

All debugging work has been completed.

In numerous large habitation spaceships, ten billion clones have already taken their places.

The infusion line has been connected.

Then, the drug that could stimulate the brain's computing power was simultaneously injected. The power of hundreds of giant supercomputers was instantly boosted to their limit.

Unified Force Field, activate!
The next moment, within the range of the unified force field, countless spaceships exploded simultaneously, turning into suns one after another.

It took several decades for only half of the original 200 million Purple Moon Civilization warships to be depleted.

At this time, their total number of warships is still around 100 million.

But at this moment, more than 95% of the 100 million warships that would normally take decades to deplete were instantly consumed.

The simultaneous explosion of over 900,000 warships, residential ships, transport ships, industrial ships, and other vessels, converting their own mass into energy, unleashed an unparalleled and intense radiance and radiation from the battlefield centered around Li Qingsong's main fleet.

Even at a distance of more than ten light-years, the light here is still clearly visible.

At this moment, in Li Qingsong's main fleet, whether it was warships or civilian ships, all the variable energy shields of all the ships were activated in an instant, increasing their defensive power to several times their original level.

The energy of the explosion was too violent, and the distance was too close; only in this way could it be stopped.

Even so, millions of small devices and small spacecraft were completely destroyed.

The flash of light from the explosion disappeared after a few seconds.

At this moment, the entire interstellar battlefield fell silent.

Looking at the battlefield again, Li Qingsong discovered that the original 100 million Purple Moon Civilization warships and tens of thousands of non-combat spaceships had now dwindled to only tens of thousands.

This fleet has been completely destroyed.

But the battle is not over yet.

Li Qingsong saw that the surviving spaceships did not accept their fate, but instead continued to charge towards his side fearlessly.

It was like a group of primitive people charging at a torrent of steel with spears in hand.

Li Qingsong's fleet quickly moved forward.

This time, Li Qingsong changed his tactics, no longer focusing on destroying the spaceship, but on destroying its thrusters, weapons, radar systems, and so on.

Once a spaceship loses its combat capability and power, a large group of robots will immediately step forward, use special tools to damage its hull, and then quickly swarm in to occupy the spaceship.

The battle lasted for several more months before it finally ended.

Excluding those that self-destructed first, Li Qingsong captured a total of several thousand warships. There were also more than 90 non-combat ships, including two habitable ships.

The rest of the spaceships were temporarily housed by Li Qingsong, and these two habitation spaceships became the focus of his care.

Tens of millions of armed robots entered and began to take over.

Originally, Li Qingsong wanted to capture some prisoners for interrogation, but he did not expect that the first thing these robots saw after entering was a large number of corpses.

As far as the eye could see, all the Purple Moon warriors had committed suicide; not a single one remained alive.

Clearly, they took their own lives after their attempt to self-destruct the spaceship failed.

Li Qingsong felt a pang of regret, but at the same time, he felt an even greater respect for these soldiers.

They truly lived up to their name, facing death without fear. Aside from differing stances, they genuinely dedicated their lives and everything they had to civilization.

Such a person deserves Li Qingsong's respect.

Li Qingsong manipulated the robot, carefully collecting the remains of the Purple Moon Warriors with a respectful attitude, intending to incinerate them all and then scatter them into space.

You are born in space, live and fight in space, and die in space.

Since that's the case, let us forever remain companions to this vast and boundless starry sky. Regardless of the customs and culture within your Purple Moon civilization, at least within our human civilization, this is the greatest respect one can show to a warrior.

But... Li Qingsong suddenly discovered something.

That appears to be a... church.

Ok?
Even a civilization like the Purple Moon Civilization, which is about to advance to a gravity civilization... would it have deity worship within its ranks?
That's a bit strange.

Li Qingsong piloted several robots inside. The next moment, Li Qingsong froze, and the clone containing his original consciousness also tensed up instinctively in an instant.

This church was roughly the same in scale as the sacred places in Li Qingsong's memory: tall, spacious, and holy, with rows of chairs below.

But what is enshrined at the very front is not the image of any deity. There, through a magnetic levitation device, tiny, luminous particles float silently, together forming the shape of a vast river system.

The numerous stars of various colors gathered together, denser in the center and sparser around the edges, along with countless other interstellar gases, together forming the shape of an eye.

Magic Eye Galaxy!

The churches of the Purple Moon Civilization actually worship the image of the Demon Eye as a deity!

This was no small matter.

With a sudden inspiration, Li Qingsong immediately sent some of the Purple Moon warriors' corpses to the biological laboratory. After some research, Li Qingsong quickly found a detection method for the infection markers of the Purple Moon civilization's intelligent life through the Demon Eye, and then began testing these millions of Purple Moon warriors' corpses.

The Demon Eye marker... positive.

Positive.

Positive.

After testing the 50th corpse, which still showed positive results for the "magic eye" marker, Li Qingsong gave up on further testing.

There's no need anymore. All 50 corpses have been confirmed as belonging to the Demon Eye without exception; the rest are undoubtedly the same.

Li Qingsong disrespectfully threw the body of a Purple Moon Warrior on the ground and then manipulated the robot to kick it hard.

"Damn it, I was so respectful to you before, but it turns out you're all demon-eyed creatures! It turns out your Purple Moon Civilization is a demon-eyed civilization!"
Disgusting! Despicable! Bah!

At that moment, Li Qingsong felt nauseous, as if he had swallowed a fly. The original plan for disposing of the Purple Moon Warrior's corpse was immediately overturned.

What do you mean by sleeping among the stars forever? You don't deserve that! Just throw them into the septic tank to be with the excrement of all kinds of intelligent life and clones, ferment them, disinfect them, and use them as fertilizer for plants.

At this moment, Li Qingsong understood all the questions he had previously had.

No wonder the Purple Moon Civilization is so well-organized that even they are amazed. No wonder these warriors are so full of fighting spirit despite being sent on missions that are almost certain to end their lives.

So you all have the Demon Eyes... This all became clear immediately.

Every Eye civilization and its inhabitants are 100% loyal to the Eye itself, and their ultimate mission is to "collect sufficient technological data from different civilizations in different galaxies, develop themselves, and ultimately return to the Eye itself with this technology."

They didn't even care about their lives for this mission.

In this context, the level of organization, loyalty, and dedication naturally far surpasses that of ordinary civilizations.

Li Qingsong found no technological data among the captured spaceships. It seemed they had thoroughly cleaned them before setting off.

After confirming that the Purple Moon Civilization was actually a Demon Eye Civilization, Li Qingsong had a premonition of this.

They came here to die, so how could they possibly store technological data and give it to us?

But that's alright. At least with these spaceships around, we can analyze a lot of technological data just from them.

After settling their spoils, Li Qingsong's massive fleet finally began to slow down and maneuver towards the nearest star, about 5 light-years away.

There was no other way; we had to stop and resupply at this point in order to continue the tracking.

During this process, Li Qingsong also began to think about a question.

Now that it has been confirmed that the Purple Moon Civilization is actually the Demon Eye, some questions that had troubled Li Qingsong for a long time have been answered.

"In this star field, a war initiated by the Crimson Star Alliance and against the Space-level Demon Eye is about to begin."

"Your Purple Moon civilization is so eager to come here...is it to participate in this war?"

Based on the intelligence provided by the Crimson Star Alliance and the Yunluo Civilization, it is likely that the Strong Core Civilization will not be able to play a significant role in a war between space-level civilizations.

At most, they can only perform some logistical support, material collection, and production tasks.

The Gravity Civilization and the Strong Nuclear Civilization within the Crimson Star Alliance are examples of this. This is precisely why the Yunluo Civilization is so eager to return to the Crimson Star Alliance's "nation".

Judging from this, the Purple Moon Civilization is probably the same.

Given their absolute loyalty to the Eye of the Universe and their complete dedication to their "mission," it is entirely understandable that they would travel thousands of light-years to enter the realm of that spatial-level Eye of the Universe to carry out some logistical support tasks.

This is probably the reason why the Purple Moon Civilization was so eager.

From this perspective, it seems that the Space-level Demon Eye was not fighting alone in the war against the Crimson Star Alliance.

Perhaps... every Magic Eye civilization in the entire Milky Way that has the capability to participate in this war has come.

This could probably be considered... the Demon Eye Alliance.

However, the Purple Moon Civilization's Demon Eye may be different from the other Demon Eyes.

It is highly likely that there are still some humans hidden within the Purple Moon Civilization. In fact, those humans may be normal humans who have not been infected and turned into demons!

Human civilization, in turn, involves a series of secrets.

The Lantuk civilization discovered that there is no intelligent life in the solar system, let alone human civilization.

During this period, the Purple Moon Civilization broke into the Solar System, secretly capturing many humans and providing concrete proof that human civilization exists in the Solar System.

Later, they personally went to Earth but found no trace of human existence. However, the records of the other civilizations show that human civilization did exist and is now extinct.

The existence and demise of human civilization are very likely to involve certain high-level forces.

When he caught up with the Purple Moon Civilization, according to common sense, they were just prisoners of other civilizations who had no value. Faced with the threat of war, especially at a critical moment when the Purple Moon Civilization was eager to participate in the war and join the Demon Eye Alliance, they really shouldn't have started a war with him for some human prisoners.

But they did it anyway.

This is solid proof that these human captives were of extremely high value to the Purple Moon civilization.

The value of these human prisoners is so high that it even delays the progress of our joining the Demon Eye Alliance to a certain extent, making it necessary to retain them.

Human civilization is very likely to involve certain high-level forces;

The Purple Moon Civilization spared no expense in retaining these human captives, but they were merely a powerful nuclear civilization.
The Purple Moon Civilization's urgent voyage to this star system is most likely aimed at joining the Demon Eye Alliance and participating in this war...

With the three prerequisites combined, Li Qingsong gradually understood.

"The Purple Moon Civilization most likely knows the value of these human prisoners—even if they don't know the specific value, they must know that it is extremely valuable."

Therefore, they most likely hope to hand over these human captives to the highest being of the Eye-type beings in the Milky Way, that Space-level Eye, for disposal.

Realizing this, Li Qingsong's resolve to kill the Purple Moon Civilization was strengthened once again.

This determination has never wavered from the beginning. It's just that now there are a few more reasons.

First, the Purple Moon Civilization intends to join the Demon Eye Alliance and become an enemy of the Crimson Star Alliance and the Cloud Luo Civilization. Although it is only a powerful nuclear civilization and cannot play a significant role, weakening the Demon Eye Alliance to some extent would still be beneficial.

After all, he was only at the strong core stage. In this massive war between space-level civilizations, he could not play a major role, but he should still play a small one.

Second... we absolutely cannot allow the Purple Moon Civilization to hand over those human prisoners to that Space-level Demon Eye!

We must reclaim our fellow human beings before that happens!
With this determination, Li Qingsong's massive fleet gradually slowed down, and after ten years, finally docked in the star system he had designated Eridanus 662.

At this moment, the distance between the Purple Moon Fleet and Li Qingsong increased again, from only two or three light-years to about ten light-years.

Furthermore, Li Qingsong estimates that it will take another 40 years to complete the resupply. By then, the distance between the two sides will have increased to about forty light-years.

"40 light-years? No problem."

I need to replenish my supplies, and you will also need to replenish your supplies after allocating a large amount of resources to that suicide fleet.

Your resupply efficiency is slower than mine, so it will definitely take you longer.

Besides, only a few decades have passed, and your flight path is still relatively new, so it's not difficult to track.

"Unless you manage to enter the 'Demon Eye Kingdom' during this time, you'll be hunted down by me..."

In this star system centered around a Sun-like star, Li Qingsong once again launched a large-scale construction project.

One massive factory after another rose from the ground, one mineral-rich mountain after another disappeared rapidly under the excavation of huge machines, and one spaceship after another shuttled swiftly across the planet's surface and into space. Li Qingsong's massive fleet, like parched fields, finally received the nourishment of sweet rain.

Time flew by, and Li Qingsong remained fully engaged in the task of collecting supplies, even temporarily halting his scientific research.

However, the observation of the outer starry sky has never stopped.

One of Li Qingsong's principles is to always maintain awe and vigilance towards the vast starry sky, no matter what he is doing.

Under these circumstances, Li Qingsong detected some slightly strange phenomena.

In the distant depths of the starry sky, some stars suddenly disappeared, while others suddenly changed position or brightness.

Some stars that were previously burning steadily suddenly seemed to explode, increasing their brightness hundreds or thousands of times. But after a while, they returned to normal.

It's as if that star suddenly shrank from tens of thousands of light-years away to only a few hundred light-years away, and then returned to its original position in a short time.

At first glance, this vast starry sky still appears tranquil. But upon closer inspection, it seems to have suddenly become chaotic.

Li Qingsong's heart grew increasingly heavy.

He knew that the war between the Crimson Star Alliance and the Demon Eye Alliance... must have already begun.
