Dragon Ball, simultaneously traversing countless worlds

Luo Yan issued an order to dismantle the nanofactory, transforming it back into a nanomechanical cluster. It was then reassembled into various auxiliary spaceships, space repair ports, energy matrices, and other similar structures, all of which were added to the expeditionary fleet that was going to conquer the Silver Blue Empire.

With everything in place, and without even needing an east wind, Luo Yan immediately set off with his army, 15,000 Destroyer spaceships and various auxiliary warships taking to the skies.

Like shooting stars, they flew into the universe.

The coordinates of the Silver Blue Empire are public.

The coordinates of all human empires are recorded in the cosmic virtual network.

The virtual universe has existed for over 10 billion epochs, and almost all human civilizations and planets are recorded within it.

If you have the money, you can buy the coordinates of all the planets in the entire human race.

Although Luo Yan didn't have any cosmic coins, the coordinates of the Silver Blue Empire weren't a secret; a simple search would reveal them.

The Silver Blue Empire ruled over eight star systems, including the Milky Way and the Beta Galaxy, and possessed millions of inhabited planets. It was classified as a primitive civilization in the universe.

If this vast cosmic empire were a technological empire, Luo Yan wouldn't dare to provoke it, but unfortunately, the Silver Blue Empire is not.

The Silver Blue Empire is also a civilization that develops martial arts cultivation, but its level of martial arts civilization is not high.

Once you reach the cosmic level, you can become a member of the ruling class in the Silver Blue Empire, a nobleman, and a person of high status.

If one's strength reaches the level of a Domain Lord, then even the Silver Blue Empire would not dare to provoke them and would have to treat them with courtesy.

As for the Realm Lord, he directly usurped the power of the Silver Blue Empire's royal family and became emperor himself, with no one in the entire empire daring to oppose him.

Judging from the treatment of martial artists at different levels in the Silver Blue Empire, the strongest person in the Silver Blue Empire is probably only a Domain Lord.

Luo Yan's Destroyer Fleet was capable of killing a Domain Lord, and its destructive power far exceeded that of a World Lord. He didn't take the Silver Blue Empire seriously at all.

In this battle, he plans to directly attack the core of the Silver Blue Empire, destroy its home planet, and plunder all of the empire's wealth and resources.

In outer space, all the Destroyer fleets had entered light speed mode, and the next second, the fleets vanished into thin air.

This is entering the dark universe unique to the Swallowed Star world.

Traveling through the dark universe, a spaceship that travels for thirty light-seconds corresponds to 1008.1 million times thirty light-seconds in the original universe.

In other words, traveling one year in the dark universe is equivalent to traveling one light-year, but in the original universe, it is equivalent to traveling 1008 million light-years.

Furthermore, in the original universe, matter cannot exceed the speed of light, but in the dark universe, spaceships can easily exceed the speed of light.

For interstellar travel at distances no greater than one million light-years, dark space travel is more energy-efficient than spacetime warp.

That's why Luo Yan's fleet abandoned spatial warp and used dark universe travel instead.

Before long, Luo Yan's fleet arrived at the capital of the Silver Blue Empire, within a light-year's radius of Silver Blue Star.

The fleet slowed down as a whole, and when its speed fell below the speed of light, it fell out of the dark universe and returned to its original universe.

The fleet that suddenly appeared was quickly detected by the Silver Blue Empire's defense system.

The planetary orbital cannons deployed around the Silver Blue Empire's homeworld immediately locked onto the unfamiliar fleet.

Interstellar broadcasts rang out on the public channel.

"The fleet ahead must halt immediately. You have intruded into the central region of the Silver Blue Empire, violating imperial law. Please surrender immediately."

The interstellar broadcast played once, but Luo Yan did not respond at all.

The Destroyer fleet approached the Silver Blue Empire's homeworld at near-light speed.

When the interstellar broadcast sounded for the second time, Luo Yan decisively ordered the Destroyer ships to attack the planetary orbital cannons and destroy the defensive forces of the Silver Blue Empire's home planet.

shhhhhh!

Fifteen thousand spaceships activated their Hive Energy Shields and powerful magnetic deflectors, braving the firepower of railguns, and launched countless proton torpedoes.

Tens of thousands of blue, cone-shaped shells were fired at the enemy's defensive positions.

The Silver Blue Empire's defensive positions simultaneously launched countless kinetic railguns and laser cannons to intercept them.

The core of a proton torpedo is its proton-scattering warhead, which is typically detonated by Nagun-14 explosive. The entire conical torpedo is encased in an energy field to prevent accidental explosions caused by collisions with debris or laser beams.

Proton torpedoes are slower than laser weapons, but their destructive power far exceeds that of laser weapons of the same cost.

Therefore, even if many proton torpedoes are intercepted, the massive explosion of just one torpedo is enough to tear a hole in the planetary defense perimeter.

Chapter 112 Stellar-Level Warrior Legion

The home planet of the Silver Blue Empire is home to countless tall and magnificent buildings resembling those of the Middle Ages.

One by one, nobles of the Silver Blue Empire argued in the council hall.

"Where did this unfamiliar fleet come from, and why is it targeting our Silver Blue Empire?"

"Are they other vassal states of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire?"

"How is that possible? The results from the metal detectors show that the enemy fleet is entirely composed of D-grade metal, Xuan Tie Mu."

"More than 15,000 metal spaceships! Not to mention the vassal states under the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, even the Black Dragon Mountain Empire itself might not be able to produce such a large fleet of D-grade metal ships."

"Could it be the machine race that attacked us? Only the machine race could assemble such a luxurious spaceship!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? The Silver Blue Empire is located in the heart of the human race's territory. How could the mechanical race possibly launch a silent attack here?"

"Besides, our Silver Blue Empire is just a primary cosmic nation, and we are not qualified to attract the attention of the Machine Race."

"Who exactly is that enemy?" a nobleman asked, puzzled.

"We don't know. The other party has no intention of communicating with us at all, and this fleet is not recorded on any platform. We have no way of determining the origin of the other party."

The nobles continued to argue, but the Silver Blue Emperor, sitting above them, rebuked them: "Quiet! The enemy has already launched a brazen attack on us. We don't need to find out their origins. What we need to do is fight back, fight back against the enemy who dares to challenge the majesty of the Silver Blue Empire."

"Pass down the order: have the Silver Blue Guards engage the enemy, have the Stellar-level Warrior Legion stand by, and also inform the Elders to prepare to take action."

The Silver Blue Guard is the most powerful interstellar fleet of the Silver Blue Empire, possessing 100,000 battleships.

A hundred thousand warships firing at once would be enough to destroy any planet.

However, the firepower of a single warship is quite weak, unable to even pose a threat to a cosmic-level martial artist.

The emperor of the Silver Blue Empire was also aware of the strength of his own warships and did not place all his hopes on the Silver Blue Guard.

He relied on the strength of the Stellar Warrior Legion and the Venerables.

One hundred thousand stellar-level warriors, clad in armor capable of fighting in space, would be one hundred thousand superhumans, easily capable of annihilating the Silver Blue Guard.

As for those cosmic-level retainers, they are the pillars of Emperor Silver Blue's rule over the empire. Thousands of cosmic-level warriors serve the emperor at his command, enough to suppress any rebellion in the eight star systems.

The nobles exchanged glances: "We will obey Your Majesty's orders."

At the emperor's command, the massive fleet took to the skies.

In the imperial capital, the people cheered as they watched the fleet that blotted out the sky.

"Our empire has finally retaliated! The emperor has directly deployed the Imperial Guard. I bet the enemy won't last an hour!" shouted a naive commoner.

“Idiot, the Imperial Guard is just cannon fodder. I have top-secret information that the enemy’s spaceships are made of D-grade metal. With the Imperial Guard’s weapons, they can’t even penetrate the armor of other people’s spaceships,” a well-informed businessman whispered.

He was not optimistic about the Silver Blue Empire's counterattack and had already begun selling off his assets in the Silver Blue Empire, preparing to flee.

"This gentleman is too pessimistic. Even if the Imperial Guard is no match for them, there is still the Stellar Warrior Legion and the Elders. They will surely be able to defeat the enemy."

“That’s right. My Silver Blue Empire has existed for millions of years. What kind of enemy haven’t we encountered? This enemy will definitely be defeated, and the glory of the Silver Blue Empire will continue.”

Faced with a sudden enemy attack, some people were worried, some were disdainful, some were pessimistic, and some were indifferent.

However, most citizens have great confidence that the Silver Blue Empire can defeat the enemy.

After all, their Silver Blue Empire is still a vassal state of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. If they really can't defeat the invaders, they can ask the Black Dragon Mountain Empire for help!

Such things have happened before in history; there have been at least dozens of major incidents in which rebellions by subordinate planets nearly overthrew the Silver Blue Empire.

However, whenever the Silver Blue Empire is on the verge of collapse and seeks help from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, the situation is usually brought under control immediately.

The Black Dragon Mountain Empire needs a stable Silver Blue Empire to supply them with resources, and naturally does not want the Silver Blue Empire to experience turmoil.

It was precisely because of the obedience of the Silver Blue Royal Family that they were able to maintain their rule over the eight star systems for millions of years.

……

In space, Luo Yan's Destroyer spaceship unleashed a salvo of proton torpedoes, destroying most of the planet's defense system.

Just as Luo Yan was about to charge straight into the Silver Blue Mother Star, 100,000 interstellar warships took to the air and locked onto his fleet.

Without any negotiation or communication, these 100,000 warships directly surrounded Luo Yan's Destroyer Fleet using a pocket formation.

Countless laser beams and neutron bombs were fired at Luo Yan's fleet.

Luo Yan concealed the mechanical race's spaceships and secretly controlled the Destroyer spaceships to form a triangular assault formation.

Fifteen thousand Destroyer ships, shielded and bracing against the enemy's attacks, charged into the enemy camp.

The honeycomb energy shield and the powerful magnetic deflector provide strong defense.

The laser cannons and neutron bombs of the opposing fleet were completely unable to damage the shields of the Destroyer ship. Even if the enemy managed to break through the shields, they were helpless against the armor and skeleton made of Xuan Tie Mu.

In interstellar warfare, civilizations at the same level compete on the size of their fleets and the resources they have at their disposal.

In interstellar wars between civilizations at different levels, the technological gap can easily compensate for the numerical gap.

Just like the Trisolarans' droplet spaceship, it could easily destroy all of humanity's fleet.

Luo Yan's Destroyer Fleet, while not technically superior to the Silver Blue Empire, is still slightly better.

Furthermore, the Destroyer's materials far surpassed those of the Silver Blue Guard, making the outcome of the battle virtually a foregone conclusion.

Fifteen thousand Destroyer ships, like a sharp blade, constantly weaved through the enemy ranks, dividing the main force into countless smaller units, and then using UV laser cannons to continuously eliminate these smaller enemy groups, gradually eroding the enemy fleet.

The Silver Guard also attempted to retaliate, but their warships were too bulky, and the fact that there had been no battles for hundreds of thousands of years had made the soldiers unfamiliar with interstellar combat.

With inferior technology and equipment, and no morale to rely on, it would be a miracle if the Silver Blue Guards could win this battle.

In the emperor's palace, holographic images are being projected in the hall, showing the emperor the dynamics of the battlefield in real time.

Seeing his fleet being torn apart and divided by the enemy like a flock of sheep, the emperor's face was so dark it looked as if ice crystals could fall from it.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings surrounded the enemy with ten times the troops, only to have their encirclement torn apart. Is this the kind of 'talent' the Royal Military Academy produces?"

The noble ministers looked at each other in bewilderment.
