A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 216 These Civilizations Are Too Confident

Against the backdrop of the two major factions in the Berta system forming an alliance so quickly and decisively and entering a state of martial law, the people at the bottom of all civilizations in the Berta system are filled with fear and unease.

As those at the top began to reveal the truth to those at the bottom, the latter became even more fearful.

Invaders from beyond the universe?!

Is the alliance between the Berta Pan-Civilization Alliance and the Centralized Civilization for the purpose of jointly protecting the Berta Galaxy?!

How terrifying!

Leaving aside what these people at the bottom are thinking, the military strategists of the Berta Pan-Civilization Alliance and the Central Civilization feel that their brains are not working properly.

They had absolutely no idea how to fight against an enemy from outer space.

The advanced civilization, Sarette, which had asked them to join this cosmic defense war, did not reveal any further military intelligence to them. They were simply instructed to impose martial law on the entire Berta system to prevent the enemy from plundering any mass of the Berta system by opening wormholes.

At the same time, if the enemy uses wormholes as a bridge to launch a large-scale invasion of the mother universe, they should immediately report the information to their Sarette civilization and prevent the enemy from gaining a foothold in the mother universe. There are no other requirements.

Although the Sarette civilization provided the two major military groups with some concepts for conducting inter-universe warfare, those two military groups, who had not come into contact with this level of knowledge, could not fully understand it; it was a situation akin to the blind men and the elephant.

Therefore, the staff officers and advisors of the two military groups could only use their imaginative and ingenious minds to think about how they should deploy their troops and formulate strategies in the face of invaders from beyond the universe.

In the imagination of military staff and advisors, the enemy from beyond the universe is extremely cunning, and the physical rules governing their space are different from those here.

Therefore, to invade across universes by opening wormholes, it is necessary to first change the physical rules of the parent universe. Thus, the enemy must be a technological product that can permanently alter the physical laws of space, and would prioritize invading through wormholes.

Their fleet could hinder the enemy's invasion of the mother universe by destroying this technological product.

Secondly, there are various rule-based attacks. An enemy capable of invading across the universe must be able to change the physical rules of the universe. Therefore, such technology can certainly be used to develop various rule-based attacks.

Because rule-based attacks are so diverse, including mathematical attacks, light-speed attacks, and dimensional reduction attacks, they are impossible to defend against. Therefore, mobility becomes crucial. The universe is vast, and if you can't defend against them, you can make a strategic retreat to minimize losses.

Both the Berta Pan-Civilization Alliance and the space arsenal of the centralized civilization have been equipped with the latest super-large faster-than-light engines to ensure mobility and industrial capabilities.

Then there's the need to increase battlefield intelligence. War is all about intelligence. Because of the disparity in technological strength, the military staff and advisors of the Belta Pan-Civilization Alliance and the Central Civilization unanimously believed that their fleet would inevitably suffer a crushing defeat in their first encounter with the fleet of the space invaders.

Therefore, they believe that the key to breaking the deadlock lies in exchanging space for information, and then finding the enemy's weaknesses from this information, or sharing the collected information with the Sarette civilization so that they can find the enemy's weaknesses.

Thus, the StarNet strategy was developed, which involved manufacturing a large number of particle machines and distributing them evenly throughout every corner of the Belta Galaxy. These were simply sensors, responsible only for receiving all information from the outside world. When enemies from outside the universe opened wormholes to invade the mother universe, these particle machines would perform their functions, either remotely or at close range, to closely monitor every move of the enemy on the battlefield.

This will allow the Berta Pan-Civilization Alliance and the Centralized Civilization to obtain firsthand battlefield data.

"Can these strategies really defend against enemies attacking from beyond space?"

Upon seeing the series of strategies sent by his subordinates for dealing with enemies from beyond the universe, the leader of the concentrated civilization issued a question.

"We have done our best, and if the intelligence from the Sarette civilization is correct, these strategies should be able to bring some results to the civilization."

Even if we concede that these strategies are ineffective, they can at least buy some time for the civilization to escape.

Hearing his subordinate's reply, the leader of the centralized civilization felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders.

He praised you lavishly, saying, "Very good. You have devised a great battle plan and found a way out for the entire civilization. After this war, you will be the heroes of the entire Centralized Civilization."

Subsequently, in order to stabilize the various civilizations within the Berta Pan-Civilization Alliance, the alliance began to publish the strategic plans formulated by the two major military groups. This led to the lower levels of various civilizations no longer questioning whether the two major military groups were capable of defending the Berta system.

To boost morale, the decision-makers of the Berta Pan-Civilization Alliance spearheaded the production of numerous films depicting the two major military groups joining forces against brutal invaders from outer space.

Although these films and television series produced by two military groups inevitably feature negative portrayals of the other military group, the general plot is that the two major military groups join forces to protect the Belta Galaxy and the entire mother universe time and time again.

These enemies from beyond the universe always open wormholes and send over weapons that can permanently alter the physical rules of the mother universe. While changing the physical rules, they also completely destroy the entire Berta system and drive out the native civilizations in the Berta system.

The two military blocs could only rely on the black hole at the center of the Belta Galaxy and the various black holes distributed throughout the galaxy to carry out offensive and defensive operations against the enemy, slowing down the spread of the altered physical rules by reducing the speed of light.

The core of a black hole is its internal singularity, which belongs to the zero-dimensional realm. It is just a point in spacetime with no volume, so it is also the most basic state of matter structure and will not be affected by any rules. At the same time, its strong gravity can stabilize spacetime and increase the difficulty of opening a wormhole in its vicinity.

From the perspective of both major military blocs, it was an extremely ideal military position.

With the emergence of these films and television shows, the various civilizations within the Berta Galaxy were filled with confidence for the impending war against the cosmic invaders, believing that they were all ready.

From a lower perspective, the two major military groups, along with the advanced civilization of the mother universe, Sarette, would surely be able to defeat the invaders from outside the universe.

From the perspective of the higher-ups, even if their two major military groups failed to defeat the enemy despite their best efforts, they could at least buy some time, which they could use to escape and allow the more powerful advanced civilization of Sarette to enter the battlefield.

As for the outcome of the war, it doesn't matter, because whatever the outcome, they have plenty of time to enter their inner universe and wait for the war to end.

With no worries about the continuation of civilization, one naturally feels confident about the future.

The time came when the mother universe arrived near the target universe.

As the Mother Universe completed its first collision with the outer walls of the universe, the entire Berta Galaxy underwent a massive collapse in an instant. Stars, atoms, meteorites, particle machines, the entire fleets of the Berta Pan-Civilization Alliance and the two major military groups of the Central Civilization, and so on, all collapsed into black holes of different masses.

Encompassing the Belta Galaxy and spanning tens of millions of light-years, no civilization escaped unscathed.
