A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 56 The Allied Fleet Was Completely Destroyed

"So, the strategy is set: the fleet commanded by Lobeko, which is closest to the cloud, will launch a surprise attack on the Fanbu Nebula, while Hanou's fleet will launch a surprise attack on the Baimu Nebula."

"After the battle, immediately deploy a faster-than-light probe into the Bogu Nebula to probe the situation of the bee swarm within the Bogu Nebula, and then decide on the final strategy based on the specific situation."

……

The Fanbu Nebula is a nebula remnant left behind after a supergiant explosion, hence its planetary shape.

Because the nebula had only erupted a few years ago, the temperature of the nebula's matter was terrifyingly high. Therefore, Lobeco, who received the mission, ordered the fleet to escape faster-than-light travel at a distance of 300 million kilometers from the nebula.

Before long, Lobeko received a report from his subordinates.

"Report! Enemy tracks detected! Target is a planetary-level swarm of bee-like creatures! Distance from the fleet..."

Although Lobeko found it strange that his subordinates' high-precision radar could locate the planetary swarm creatures faster than his own low-precision radar.

Seeing planetary-sized bee swarms in the nebula, I assumed it was just nebulous matter interfering with low-precision radar, making it undetectable, and didn't pay much attention to it.

The gravity jamming ship maximizes its faster-than-light interference, and the entire fleet's radar conducts multi-faceted detection of enemy units, such as gravitational waves, pulse beams, and temperature sensing.

Once the location information was confirmed, Lobeko smoothly submitted a request to the wormhole generation device behind him: "Requesting wormhole strike! Mode: black hole strike! Strike coordinates..."

Before long, a wormhole attack occurred.

Although Lobeko's fleet was only observing from a distance and couldn't see very clearly, they could easily determine whether a microscopic black hole had appeared by observing the nebulous matter stirred up by gravity.

Just when Lobeko and the entire fleet thought the battle would end soon, something completely unexpected happened.

The microscopic black hole is constantly devouring the surrounding matter, but the planetary life forms they regard as hostile targets show no signs of collapsing at all!

Microscopic black holes do not devour matter from planetary swarms of organisms; they selectively devour matter from nebulae!

While the aliens were still reeling from the shock and disbelief, the planetary beings used their psionic powers to control the microscopic black hole that had been delivered through the wormhole. With a sub-light-speed throw, they destroyed a capital ship in the Star Alliance fleet.

Only then did someone snap out of their shock and immediately shouted, "Report! Enemy units not destroyed! Not destroyed! Black Hole Strike ineffective!"

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Lobeko finally snapped out of his shock.

"How is this possible?!"

"Requesting wormhole strike! Mode: black hole strike! Strike coordinates..." Lobeko, unconvinced, requested another wormhole strike from the wormhole generator behind him.

However, the result was still the same—the wormhole attack was useless!

Amidst Lobeco's resentment and disbelief, the entire fleet he commanded was crushed into clumps of metal floating in space.

……

Within the swarm network, Nanali asked Lu Shang, puzzled, "Why can this planetary creature ignore the Star Alliance's wormhole attacks?"

Lu Shang said, "That's an illusion, a target placed in the open to attract wormhole attacks. The real planetary life forms aren't there, so there's no need to worry about them being attacked by wormholes."

Nanali observed for a moment with great curiosity, then asked in bewilderment, "An illusion? But why do I feel... that planetary creature is right there?"

Lu Shang thought for a moment and answered in a more appropriate way: "It's in that location, but not exactly in that location; it's in a slightly higher place."

"high?"

Nanali was even more confused. Where does altitude come from in the universe?

……

The news of the complete annihilation of Lobeco's fleet was quickly reported to the Alliance General Staff, and then relayed by the General Staff to the fleet commanded by Han Ou located in the White Cloud Nebula.

Hanou's fleet was already engaged in battle with this new type of planetary creature... or rather, was being utterly crushed on one side.

The General Staff changed the mission objective, requiring Hanou's fleet to gather more intelligence on this new type of swarm organism.

Knowing that he could not harm the enemy, Han Ou ordered his fleet to use all types of weapons and fire freely to begin a probing attack, while maintaining distance from the planetary creature phantoms to ensure that his fleet was outside the enemy's psionic range.

After a round of firing, Han Ou immediately questioned his subordinates.

"Has anything unusual been detected on the radar?"

"No!" the subordinate reported.

Han Ou's whiskers drooped with a hint of disappointment; he hadn't experienced this kind of battle where he had energy but nowhere to use it for a while.

The last time we encountered this was when the swarm developed its ability to create covert operations.

No, we are even more powerless now than before. The enemy is right there, but we just can't hit them.

and many more!

Is it possible that the enemy in that location is actually a fake?

Han Ou thought about it carefully and found it increasingly possible. Although it was really outrageous to be able to deceive all the radars of the fleet, the enemy was the Babel swarm. The kind of black screen that they had developed to intercept everything was already outrageous enough.

It seems quite normal for things to get even more outrageous, right?

Han Ou disregarded everything else and decided to try a wide-area attack: He requested permission from the rear: "Request wormhole strike! Mode: gamma coverage bombardment! Range coordinates are..."

Before long, a sea of ​​light engulfed the area where the planetary creature's illusory image was located. The terrifying energy level even caused space to distort slightly, producing a faint gravitational lensing phenomenon...

At the same time, Lu Shang was also attracted by this sea of ​​light and observed it up close through the sensory organs of planetary creatures.

"I see. By sending a large number of microscopic black holes through wormholes, and then using the high-energy gamma-ray streams released after these microscopic black holes evaporate, a wide-range strike can be achieved on the cosmic battlefield. What a clever idea..." Lu Shang exclaimed in amazement.

The Star Alliance was testing the planetary creatures he had created, and he was also testing the combat capabilities of these new species, so he deliberately left Hanou's fleet alive.

You should know that this new species of planetary creature is the result of his research on closed-loop spacetime, which was achieved by accelerating time by five hundred years. The true form of the planetary creature is actually in the microcosm, and the one on the cosmic battlefield is a false image simulated by psionic energy.

Using psionic energy to bend spacetime to create the illusion of gravity, distort light to create illusions, distort electromagnetic waves to create the illusion of temperature... thus forming this kind of "fake ball" that is realistic enough to fool people.

If the wormhole strike could know the coordinates of the planetary creature's microcosm, the strike would still be effective. Unfortunately, the Star Alliance didn't know this and kept thinking that the "fake ball" was the planetary creature's true form.

As the Sea of ​​Light gradually dimmed, with Lu Shang's command, the planetary creatures' microcosms, traveling at faster-than-light speed, ignored the interference of the gravitational interference ship and silently arrived near the Star River Alliance fleet.

Psionic Grip!

Yet another Star Alliance fleet has been completely wiped out!
