I've already reached the maximum level, and you guys are just starting out?

Chapter 213: How to fight against all level 18 enemies? The real trump card! Thanos snaps his fingers again!
The outer perimeter of the P-8808 star system.

The boundless starry sky.

Brilliant beams of energy, like a spider web, enveloped the entire starry sky.

One after another, powerful figures unleashed powerful elemental attacks with a wave of their hands.

boom--

Boom——!
Warships of all sizes collided with each other.

One after another, evolved beings or mechs flew out from the warship and engaged in close combat.

even……

Even the medium and small fortresses clashed with each other, entering a phase of hand-to-hand combat.

Whoosh-!
Deep in the starry sky.

The Strike Freedom Gundam, standing a thousand meters tall, brandishes its lightsaber.

Wherever the lightsaber passes, nothing grows.

The Strike Freedom Gundam was originally a Tier 20 weapon, but now, due to limitations imposed by the Ember tier, its actual tier is Tier 18.

Compared to the highest-ranking nineteenth-tier king in the galactic wasteland, the eighteenth-tier seems a bit lacking.

But in fact……

Throughout the entire starry sky.

There is only one true 18th-tier evolver, and that is Ember!

What’s even more exaggerated is…

As the Ember's rank increases, not only the Strike Freedom Gundam is upgraded, but also dozens of Sigma-class mechs!
now.

On the star battlefield, the Dawn Fortress side deployed what was equivalent to dozens of Tier 18 Evolvers!
even……

At the same level, mechs are more powerful than evolved humans.

This leads to—

Despite the seemingly bustling and noisy starry sky, the battlefield situation from the very beginning subtly showed a tendency to become one-sided.

Strike Freedom Gundam, Sigma mobile suit, and Star Destroyer fleet...

Wherever they went, whether it was the evolved beings of the Hunting Alliance, fleets, or fortresses, everything was reduced to dust!

"Damn it!"

Kloster Civilization, inside the Thirteenth Fortress.

The confident and smug smile that had been on the face of Commander-in-Chief Sean Gardner had vanished.

Instead, there was a mixture of confusion and anger.

He never imagined that this newly upgraded Dawn Fortress would have such a terrifying 'trump card'!
Eighteen levels of Gundam and mecha!
Let alone the Kloster civilization, even the Celestial civilization would probably find it difficult to possess such a thing...

"If this continues, the losses will be huge!"

Sheehan Gardner quickly assessed the battlefield situation.

Good news—

The Allied forces had an overwhelming advantage in terms of fortresses, warships, and the number of evolved humans.

bad news--

The Allied forces' fortresses, warships, and the quality of evolved beings, especially the ultra-high-level evolved beings, were completely outmatched by the enemy.

[Beep!]

[Beep beep!]

In the Hunter Alliance's wartime communication channel, a series of crisp mechanical voices rang incessantly.

Each mechanical sound represents the fall of evolved beings, warships, and even fortresses...

"Commander Sheen!"

"We've been fooled!"

"They have the advantage in close combat!"

"If this continues, it won't be long before we are completely exhausted, even if we have overwhelming force!"

In the communication channel.

The leader of the other civilization spoke urgently.

call--

Sheehan Gardner took a deep breath.

His deep gaze lingered on the starry sky outside the porthole, especially on the red, blue, and white Gundam mechs that wielded lightsabers like war gods, for a long time.

"Activate the backup plan!"

"Destroy the target fortress and fleet!"

Sheehan Gardner ultimately made this decision.

In fact.

The Dawn Fortress, along with its mysterious and powerful mechs, warships, and other advanced civilizations like Kloster, are extremely covetous of it.

That's why.

After the war began, they did not focus on 'wave counterattack' against the fortress warships, but instead sent a large army of evolved humans to conduct a landing operation.

A landing battle in space usually only occurs when one side has completely overwhelmed the other and has a sure chance of victory—this allows for a better chance of capturing the enemy's warships and even fortresses.

But now?
The situation on the battlefield forced Sheehan Gardner to restrain his greed.

[Backup plan activated!]

[Major fortress fleets are recovering their evolved human armies!]

[All fortress fleets, enter full-power charging mode!]

[Preparing for an energy surge...]

[Preparing for the First Attack!]

The mechanical voice still echoed in the communication channel.

In the starry battlefield.

With Sheen Gardner's order issued.

whoosh-

Whizzing--

Fleets and fortresses hunting Alliance forces retreated at full speed, returning to the vicinity of the mega-fortress...

……

……

The boundless starry sky.

Inside the Strike Freedom Gundam.

Yu Jin frowned slightly as he watched the fleet of warships and small to medium-sized fortresses receding into the distance.

"You're going to quit now?"

Yu Jin sighed softly.

"Lord Lord!"

"The enemy is tightening their formation, and we cannot intercept them all..."

"Currently, we estimate we can intercept 5%-10%, which would allow us to annihilate them!"

Carol's voice rang in Yu Jin's ears.

"can."

Yu Jin nodded, agreeing with her decision.

boom--

Boom——!
The starry sky was once again illuminated by dazzling beams of light.

One by one, evolved beings, warships, and even small fortresses were enveloped by the beams of light because they hadn't had time to leave the battlefield.

Most of these beams of light came from the Sigma mech and the Star Destroyer.

An attack from the 18th level would be difficult for even a medium-sized fortress to withstand.

"Lord Lord!"

"Should we continue with the previously established capture strategy...?"

Carol's voice rang out again.

This time, there was a hint of hesitation in her voice.

In fact.

Ember's idea was exactly the same as Sheen Gardner's.

The reason he started with a space battle was because he wanted to capture all the fleets and fortresses in this part of space...

Compared to Sheen Gardner, Ember's greed was clearly more outrageous.

just.

The battlefield situation changes rapidly.

The commander of the Hunting Alliance was clearly not a fool; he made the more correct decision to retreat in the shortest possible time.

"Pity."

Yu Jin shook his head and sighed softly.

"Let's implement the backup plan."

"If the fighting continues, Dawn Fortress will also suffer losses of manpower."

in fact.

There was another crucial element that enabled Dawn Fortress to engage in close combat in the early stages of the war.

That was Yin Yao, Yin Yao who possessed the attribute of 'rebirth'.

She is now a level 15 evolved being.

If it's only at level 15, it would be quite difficult to equip hundreds of millions of evolved beings, especially those of relatively high rank, with 'resurrection armor'.

but……

She also has a 'boost link' from the embers.

With the increase, her true energy level reached the sixteenth rank, approaching the seventeenth rank.

Therefore.

Yin Yao, who was stationed at the rear, became the 'Old Man of Time' for all the evolved beings in Dawn Fortress by her own power.

Death, resurrection, death, resurrection...

It was precisely because of their almost shameless regeneration ability that the Dawn Fortress citizens, whose numbers were crushed by the Hunting Alliance by a hundred times, were able to turn the tide on the battlefield and gain the upper hand.

but……

There is a limit to the number of times one can be reborn or resurrected.

Now, three full days have passed since the war began.

Over the past three days, almost all of the subjects have reached their maximum number of resurrections. To be resurrected again, they must wait for Yin Yao's 'Rebirth' attribute ability to cool down—this is the effect of her ability awakening after breaking through to the eleventh rank.

[Reborn Level 9]

[Active Effect: Activates the ability, bringing the target back to life from death!]

[Note: This ability cannot currently change the time frame; it can only change the life state of an object.]

[Max Level Effect: The maximum number of resurrections can exceed the limit (9 times), and this number increases with the rank!]

[Current highest number of resurrections: 15]

[Awakening Effect: After the target's resurrection count reaches its maximum, the ability will enter a cooldown period. Once the cooldown is complete, the resurrection count will be reset!]

Current cooldown period: 30 days

The ability to resurrect 15 times is the source of Dawn Fortress's confidence to engage in close combat even when facing a Hunter Alliance that outnumbers it by hundreds or thousands of times.

but……

Even if it's 15 times or more, it's still not infinite.

"Forget it."

"Being too greedy could lead to problems."

"Besides..."

"Even if we capture all these fortress warships, it seems we don't have enough subjects to control them?"

Ember muttered to himself, controlling the Strike Freedom Gundam as it returned to Dawn Fortress.

They returned together.

There are also evolved beings and warships scattered throughout the starry sky.

Carol's backup plan is no different from Sheehan Gardner's.

Initial plan: Annihilate the enemy and capture the fortress.

Backup plan – an energy shockwave to destroy everything.

the difference is.

Sheen Gardner's energy surge came from hundreds of super-large fortresses.

These hundreds of fortresses are now connected to each other, briefly forming a super-large fortress a hundred times larger.

hum-

Buzz—!
The energy accumulated in the massive fortress surged wildly at this moment, brewing a world-destroying blow.

And Carol?

Over the past three days, she had already put the pyrolyzer and the Odin warship into charging mode ahead of schedule.

What we've been waiting for is this final blow!
Just in principle.

She also hoped to follow Lord Ember's wishes and preserve the enemy's fortresses and warships as much as possible, and to capture them.

after all……

Whether it's the Disintegrator or the Odin warship, once the final blow is unleashed, everything will vanish into nothingness.

The boundless starry sky.

Time passes slowly.

The once bustling and lively starry sky has now become incredibly silent and oppressive.

The super-large fortress formed by the Hunter Alliance was shining brightly, as dazzling as the sun.

In contrast.

The quantum resonance split emitter on the outskirts of Dawn Fortress, on the other hand, appears extremely understated.

It did not dazzle, but simply vibrated quietly.

at the same time.

The three Odin-class space carriers, which had initially appeared and even faced sieges from numerous fleet fortresses of the Hunting Alliance over the past three days, were also quietly gathering the energy of their main guns.

In the end, interstellar warfare will come down to a clash of weapons.

Individual power is ultimately insufficient to change the overall situation.

The silence of the starry sky did not last long.

boom--!
This energy clash was ultimately initiated by the Hunter Alliance.

I saw——

A dazzling beam of light, tens of thousands of meters in diameter, suddenly shot out and hurtled straight toward Dawn Fortress.

Boom——!
The energy shield of Dawn Fortress cracked under this attack.

"Pretty!"

The leader of the Kloster civilization, Sheen Gardner, was thrilled to see this.

after all……

The Dawn Fortress of Embers was so mysterious that even he began to have some doubts about the combined attack of a hundred fortresses.

Fortunately, it worked!
"continue!"

A smile returned to Sean Gardner's face.

That attack just now was merely an appetizer, a test of the waters!
The real impact will come wave after wave, leaving the opponent no room to breathe!

but……

Unbeknownst to Sheen Gardner, inside the Sky Tower of Dawn Fortress, Ember watched this scene with a satisfied nod.

"good."

"The energy shield is quite strong."

"That attack just now had reached the level of the nineteenth rank."

"Rounding up, Dawn Fortress, now that its energy shield is activated, can completely withstand a full-force attack from a level 19 evolved being!"

Yu Jin was quite satisfied with the result.

In any case, the nineteenth order is already the theoretical upper limit for this wasteland galaxy.

"Lord Lord..."

Should we continue testing?

Carol's voice rang out at that moment.

"No need."

Yu Jin waved his hand.

These two simple words have already sealed the fate of this war.

Inside the S-1 fortress.

Commander Carol's expression immediately brightened upon hearing Ember's words.

"Pyrolysis unit, prepare!"

"Odin, prepare!"

"Starfield Mothership, prepare!"

Three orders were issued in succession, using the fortress's artificial intelligence.

hum-

buzz-

The moment Carol gave the order.

Three deadly weapons that have been lying dormant for a long time are now baring their fangs!
boom--!
A dazzling beam of light appeared, still emanating from the Hunter Alliance.

But this time.

The energy beam, tens of thousands of meters long, vanished into nothingness halfway through its journey, never even reaching Dawn Fortress.

"how come!?"

Sheehan Gardner's eyes widened.

Within the Hunting Alliance, the commanders of the advanced civilizations, who were smug and confident of victory, suddenly lost their minds.

This attack is even more terrifying than the one before!
This attack has drained nearly a third of the energy reserves of all the fortresses!
This attack was the result of everyone's discussion and decision to go all out and finish the job in one fell swoop!

But now?
Disappeared……

He vanished into thin air right before everyone's eyes!

"That's it!"

"It was it that did this!"

Sheehan Gardner's gaze was fixed on the ring that was silently rotating in the starry sky.

【warn! 】

【warn! 】

[Extremely high-level energy fluctuations detected!]

[The fortress is in danger of destruction. Please jump out of this part of space as soon as possible!]

[Please jump out as soon as possible!!!]

Inside the fortress, the urgent mechanical sounds interrupted Sheen Gardner and the others' thoughts.

in the starry sky.

The enormous ring began to spin rapidly, at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

hum-

buzz-

A certain fluctuation, invisible and intangible yet undeniably present, instantly swept across the entire starry sky.

Entanglement of quantum waves far exceeds the speed of light.

So that...

The image of Sheehan Gardner and others remains frozen at the moment the ring begins to rotate.

But actually.

The fluctuations from the pyrolyzer have already reached them.

this moment.

Thanos snapped his fingers again!

There was no loud noise, no dazzling light, and no earth-shattering aftershocks.

All Sheen Gardner saw was that everything, starting from the outermost perimeter of the fortress, began to transform from 'existence' into 'non-existence'.

Energy shield?
Disappeared!
Outer escort fleet?

Annihilated!
A super-large interstellar fortress?

It is being crushed inch by inch by an unseen giant hand, turning into nothingness...

　I watched the game today, so I'm writing this a little late. Sorry.
