A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 313 The Sudden Increase in Civilization

Countless fragments of wreckage and countless shattered corpses floated in the void, some of which remained intact and whose origins could still be discerned as belonging to different races.

These corpses and remains together formed a massive nebula vortex. At the very center of the vortex was a huge, dazzling light source, so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it with the naked eye. It constantly released intense light and magnetic fields. Countless fragments of remains and corpses fell along the vortex-shaped nebula toward the light source at the center of the vortex.

This is a forming star embryo.

This interstellar battlefield was originally empty. Various interstellar civilizations continuously sent fleets here to compete for spacetime nodes. After these fleets from various civilizations were destroyed, the wreckage fragments were drawn together by gravity and formed the star embryo that now has a mass exceeding that of the sun.

It can be said that this is an immature star system artificially created by various interstellar civilizations in war.

A portion of the chaotic nebula vortex was suddenly pushed aside by an invisible force, and a fleet abruptly appeared in this star system.

The fleet was so large that the nebula, which was originally swirling in shape, was torn apart by the gravity naturally released by the massive fleet.

The fleet unleashed a powerful radar wave, rapidly scanning the area to ascertain the situation within this interstellar battlefield.

The Freudian civilization advocates abandoning the physical body and embracing an artificial one. Therefore, after reaching adulthood, they often remove their brains and install them in a brain container.

This brain container can directly interface with various devices, enabling the brain to directly control the devices.

Only during the propagation of the race would Flo regenerate his physical body through cloning and transplantation surgery, and after completing the task of reproducing, return to his original brain-canister state.

Because of this life form, the interior of the Flor civilization fleet has no passageways, living areas, or other spaces. The empty spaces are either used as ship warehouses or to carry other weapons and equipment. For ships of the same tonnage, civilizations like the Pulinka, which do not advocate physical modification, often cannot defeat their opponents with the same number and tonnage of ships. This is the advantage of the Flor civilization.

However, the Florian civilization recently discovered that this advantage of theirs doesn't seem to be working very well anymore.

"We're too late. This outpost has already been destroyed by the Plinka fleet."

"Why did they retreat? Didn't they attack the outpost to seize spacetime nodes?"

"This is very strange; it doesn't conform to the previous operational guidelines of the Prinkia civilization's fleet."

Among the many hostile civilizations, there is one called "Primca" that, despite not advocating physical modification, suddenly has seen its combat power increase many times over.

This surge in combat power was not due to any major technological changes by the enemy. According to the analysis of the warship wreckage, the Pulinka civilization still used the original technology. The sudden "enhancement" of the Pulinka civilization's fleet was based on the efficient application of strategy and tactics.

It's unclear when exactly, but the Prinkia civilization has consistently managed to create a situation where they outnumber the enemy on the battlefield.

The warships of the Florian civilization can utilize their tonnage more efficiently, thus exerting greater combat effectiveness. However, such an improvement in combat power has its limits. When facing warships with similar technological differences, it is already quite difficult to fight two against one, and there is basically no chance of winning against three.

"They must have changed their strategic decision-makers and adopted a new strategic mindset. We must adapt to this new adversary as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain the advantage of our fleet in subsequent operations as we have in the past."

"Fortunately, they withdrew, so at least we didn't lose this important strategic point. It's just that rebuilding the outpost will take some time."

Just as the Florian civilization fleet was still feeling fortunate, ripples suddenly appeared in the surrounding space.

"Large-scale spacetime fluctuations detected!"

The commander of the Flor civilization fleet, who was originally wondering why the Princa civilization fleet was not occupying the spacetime nodes, belatedly realized everything because of these sudden spacetime ripples.

"Damn it! This is a trap! Evacuate! Everyone, accelerate to faster than light! Get out of here now!"

However, it was all too late. The commander of the Florian civilization fleet immediately realized that it was too late to evacuate after reading the data from the flagship observers that the warships of the Princa civilization had completed faster-than-light transfers and rashly entered this nascent star system.

If enemy ships attack, and it is a pre-arranged ambush, they will inevitably deploy a faster-than-light blockade immediately.

The commander of the Florian fleet swiftly changed orders: "Change of command! All units prepare for battle!"

Sure enough, the next moment, the flagship's sensors received a special spacetime wave released during the faster-than-light blockade.

Subsequently, a massive fleet far exceeding the size of the Florian civilization's fleet ended the faster-than-light journey.

If the Florian civilization fleet was a whale, then the attacking Pulinka civilization fleet was a planet. That embryonic star, still in its formative stage, was directly torn into a nebula by the gravity released by the Pulinka civilization's fleet of warships. A large amount of scalding plasma moved towards the direction of the Pulinka civilization fleet.

Ten...no, a hundred! A hundred trillion-level fleets of the Prinkia civilization?!

The commander of the Florian fleet knew that their fleet had absolutely no chance of winning.

……

A chaotic war is taking place in the universe involving multiple interstellar civilizations. The fleets of these civilizations are engaged in a decisive battle in the sea of ​​stars and roam the void, unleashing terrifying high-energy strikes on any hostile civilization. Even spacetime itself has been ravaged and riddled with unstable wormholes.

Today, the interstellar civilizations still active in this war are not that different from each other.

In the early stages of the war, the powerful civilizations easily and overwhelmingly annihilated those civilizations far weaker than themselves. The high-tech civilizations crushed each other, quickly eliminating the weaker ones, leaving only those civilizations with sufficient strength and whose technological gaps were not too large.

This is a choice made by physics, survival of the fittest, where the strong prevail.

Originally, even if this interstellar war eventually ended, it would take at least a very long time. Due to different levels of development, the technological gap between the various equally powerful and technologically advanced civilizations would gradually widen, eventually leading to the most powerful civilization becoming the victor of this interstellar war.

However, some subtle changes have occurred recently. A civilization called "Princa" has been easily crushing civilizations at the same technological level, and even those with slightly better technology.

Alternatively, they could lure other civilizations' fleets into an ambush zone and eliminate them with superior forces.

We can either divide our forces and launch a feigned attack, targeting any gaps in the defenses if the enemy fleet comes over, or continue harassing operations if they don't, sometimes besieging a point to catch reinforcements, and sometimes engaging in guerrilla warfare.

Sometimes, a star is transformed into a super bomb. As soon as an enemy fleet enters the star system, it is blocked at faster-than-light speed, slowing down the enemy fleet's withdrawal from the star system. Enemy fleets that react slowly will directly face a supernova explosion from the star.

If a decisive battle is encountered, and the fleet is far outnumbered by the enemy and unable to gain an advantage, the fleet will employ large-scale space-based weapons, risking mutual destruction, to exchange a small fleet for the majority of the enemy's fleet.
