A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 214 Joining forces too quickly

The Berta Galaxy has finally reached the end of the Third Interstellar War, and peace is on the horizon.

The concentrated civilization, representing evil, brutality, and destruction, was forced into a corner of the galaxy by the great and benevolent Berta Pan-Civilization Alliance.

Fleets of the Berta Pan-Civilization Alliance successively arrived at the Bountiful Arm and the Order Arm, and began to deploy large cavitation bubbles that could intercept faster-than-light speeds in the star field at the end of the arm.

This cavitation barrier field can cover a range of more than ten light-years. Spaceships within the range of influence will be unable to enter a faster-than-light state. All spaceships passing through the covered area will also be affected by the cavitation field and will leave the faster-than-light state at the edge of the cavitation.

Once the deployment is complete, the Centralized Civilization's fleet will be completely trapped in a corner of the Belta system, with no chance of recovery. At that point, the Centralized Civilization will only have two options left.

Either gather all remaining collectable resources and embark on an intergalactic voyage.

They will either be trapped in a corner of the galaxy, facing the failure and destruction imposed upon them by the Berta Pan-Civilization Alliance.

Regardless of the outcome, it is good news for the Berta Pan-Civilization Alliance.

"It's finally coming to an end."

As the commander of a combat fleet of the Belta Pan-Civilization Alliance, Tar stood on the bridge, looking at the battlefield situation map displayed by the flagship AI, and let out a sigh tinged with melancholy.

In order to win this war and prevent the centralized civilization from unifying the entire Belta system through bloodshed, terror, and brutality, Tal and his classmates from the military academy resolutely joined the war.

Now, all those classmates have died in the concentrated high-energy attack of the civilization fleet, leaving only Tal alive to continue participating in this war and commanding the fleet in battle.

Tal thought his final fate would be to perish in the space battlefield like his other classmates and comrades, but the war was about to end.

Moreover, it was their Berta Pan-Civilization Alliance that brought together civilizations and forced them into a desperate situation.

Although fate had played a cruel trick on him, Tal didn't think the outcome was too bad. At least he could avenge his dead classmates, comrades, and the millions of intelligent beings who had died because of the centralized civilization.

[Commander, we have received an urgent order from the Supreme Staff!]

Upon hearing the flagship AI's report, Tar said, "Open the information."

A message was projected onto Tal's face. The message was short, but its content made Tal's expression grow increasingly solemn as he read it.

[Issue the following instructions to all fleets receiving this order: The Star Wars are terminated. The Berta Pan-Civilization Alliance will enter a state of truce with the Central Civilization. All fleets must cease all military activities and conflicts against the Central Civilization and withdraw all ships to the nearest interstellar port for repairs. The cavitation generator deployment strategy is cancelled. Fleets participating in this strategy must first dismantle all deployed cavitation generators and obtain approval from the Supreme Staff before returning to the interstellar port.]

This was an order that defied all reason. Tal's expression went from solemn to incredulous. If this order really came from the Supreme Staff, he suspected that the entire Supreme Staff had gone rotten.

"...What's going on? Are you sure this order came from the Supreme Staff?" Tal asked the flagship AI.

[Information sourced from the Supreme Staff.]

"Are you sure there are no signs of interception or tampering?" Tal continued to ask.

[The information channels are open; is it necessary to connect via a dedicated line to confirm?]

After eliminating all the impossibilities, whatever remains, however incredible, is still the answer.

The brains of everyone in the Supreme Staff have completely rotted!

Tal could only conclude that, otherwise why would he issue such an unbelievable order?

Just when it seemed that victory in this interstellar war was imminent, and the evil centralized civilization would become history in the Belta system, bringing a new dawn of peace to all civilizations within the system, the Supreme Staff ordered all fleets to abandon all their current strategic advantages and deployments and return to the starport for rest and recuperation.

"Connect me! Connect me to the Supreme Staff immediately!" Tal ordered the flagship AI, suppressing his anger.

He then added, "Tell the Supreme Staff! If they don't clearly explain the reasons for issuing this order, they shouldn't expect my fleet to obey them!"

Shortly thereafter, Tal received a message from the Supreme Staff.

Tal, who was initially furious, lost most of his anger after seeing the message from the Supreme Staff. He completely changed his attitude and ordered the fleet to return to the starport.

Without the interception of the Berta Pan-Civilization Alliance fleet, the ships of the concentrated civilization began to appear in the Berta system again. However, no military conflict broke out between the two sides, and even if any accidents occurred, they maintained a great deal of restraint.

What struck the most bewildering aspect of the various civilizations within the Berta system was that a fleet of a centralized civilization was anchored at the interstellar port closest to the Supreme Staff of the Berta Pan-Civilization Alliance, while another fleet of the Berta Pan-Civilization Alliance was anchored near the centralized civilization's command ship.

Two military forces capable of dominating the Belta Galaxy have joined forces in an almost impossible move, as if they were guarding against a powerful enemy.

What the lower levels of the various civilizations in the Berta system find incomprehensible is that these two groups are the most powerful in the Berta system. Who are they guarding against by joining forces now?

……

The supreme leaders of the Berta Pan-Civilization Alliance and the Centralized Civilization are holding a secret meeting through a virtual platform they have established.

However, this meeting did not only involve the two of them, but also a sphere of light.

The sphere of light addressed the supreme leaders of the two major groups in the Berta Galaxy: "Our time is running out. An enemy that will destroy everything is about to descend. This war will determine the survival and future of the universe. We must unite all forces that can be united."

The leader of the Berta Pan-Civilization Alliance asked, "What can we do?"

The light sphere replied, "You only need to be responsible for your Belta system. Report any anomalies to us immediately, and we will do our best to handle everything."

After a moment's thought, the leader of the concentrated civilization asked, "Is the enemy truly so powerful that they are invincible?"

The sphere of light paused for a moment, then replied, "No one is invincible. Although our universe's external defense system has been destroyed, it doesn't mean we are powerless to fight back."

Subsequently, the Berta Pan-Civilization Alliance and the Centralized Civilization jointly issued a statement to all civilizations in the entire Berta system, declaring that all fleets capable of participating in military operations would be placed under full martial law!

Beyond the universe, the Mother Universe, originating from the other side of the cosmic ocean, is approaching its target...
