Light Speed ​​War

Chapter 99: Galaxy Master

On the invisible sphere, two hundred stars, each half-body, leaped out, becoming two hundred complete stars.

The two fleets, the sniper starship's long-range intelligent energy beam is not yet within range, and even if the neutron war star is deployed, the gravitationally accelerated intelligent energy beam will not reach the range.

In a moment of quick thinking, each of the two fleets launched a neutron star, and both fleets hid behind the neutron stars.

A super-powerful gamma-ray burst capable of destroying two hundred stars was hurtling toward the fleet. Under the gravitational interference of the rotating neutron star, the gamma-ray burst accelerated out of space from around the neutron star. The two fleets, like hiding behind a rock, withstood the onslaught of the gamma-ray burst. Without the combined energy shield, the two fleets would probably have been destroyed by the gamma-ray burst long ago.

Two hundred stars were destroyed and turned into two hundred white dwarfs, which were then sucked into and torn apart by a black hole. This black hole was like a bottomless vacuum cleaner, sweeping away the dust from the white dwarfs after the stars were destroyed.

"Dean Zhou, what should we do?"

"They have too many stars. Let's leave here in a bit and wait for reinforcements."

"it is good."

The two fleets waited for the gamma-ray burst to end, recovered the neutron star, deployed some locating beacons, and then quickly withdrew.

Following the positioning beacons laid out earlier, the 7th and 11th Fleets exited the Macrocodile globular cluster.

Of course, the two fleets did not forget to deploy intelligent probes in some stars within the Macrocodile globular cluster and in the stars surrounding the cluster.

The 7th and 11th Fleets rapidly navigated through the Klein space, placing intelligent probes inside some stars and near some stars within the other 500-plus globular clusters in the Andromeda Galaxy. This made the "Star Eyes" of the Andromeda Galaxy more complete, allowing them to also detect areas near globular clusters and slightly inward from them.

After deploying intelligent probes in all globular clusters, the two fleets returned to their fleet base.

The fleet bases of the Galactic Earth Empire, the Triangular Galaxy Lunar Empire, and the Andromeda Galaxy immediately convened a near-real-time "Binary Modulation Matrix" communication conference.

"The 'Light-Descent Civilization' is indeed located within a globular cluster," Thomas remarked with some emotion.

"Thomas, there's something I find strange."

"Dean Zhou, what is it?"

"The 'Light-Descent Civilization' was able to travel from the Andromeda Galaxy to the Milky Way long ago, meaning they possessed intergalactic travel capabilities. None of us doubted their strength. Logically speaking, the 'Light-Descent Civilization' should have already dominated the Andromeda Galaxy. Why are we the ones wiping out the insectoid race and annihilating the Andromeda Federation in the Andromeda Galaxy? Moreover, we haven't directly encountered the 'Light-Descent Civilization' in the Triangulum Galaxy, the Milky Way, the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, or the Large Magellanic Cloud. Apart from the globular cluster in the Andromeda Galaxy, we haven't directly encountered them either. This is very strange."

"Yes, that's right, Dean Zhou is right," the commanders echoed.

"Furthermore, after our two fleets came out, the 'Lightfall Civilization' did not attack us again, nor did they attack our fleet base. This doesn't make sense."

"Everyone, if there are 'Light-Descent Civilizations' in all five hundred-plus globular clusters in the Andromeda Galaxy, that would be incredible." George suddenly thought of the five hundred-plus globular clusters.

“If all five hundred globular clusters contain ‘light-falling civilizations,’ they have even more reason to act now to quickly strike and annihilate us.”

"Everyone, perhaps the 'Civilization of Descent' is unable to act?"

"Commander Wei, what do you mean?"

“Commander-in-Chief, I think it’s like this: didn’t the lunar empire’s scan results say that there is a supermassive black hole at the core of every globular cluster? I believe that these supermassive black holes are binding the ‘Light-Descending Civilization’.”

"But Sister Shan, what about that half-star that jumped out, exploded, and launched a faster-than-light gamma-ray burst at us? What happened?"

“Princess, this is easy to understand. It’s like you’re bound by a light rope, but you can still move your toes, right?”

"Shanmei is right. I suddenly remembered that the 'Light Child' from the 'Matrix Civilization' once said that the 'Light-Descent Civilization' was a defeated opponent of its master?"

"Could it be that the 'Matrix Civilization' has trapped the 'Light-Descending Civilization'? But what about our solar system's 'light speed barrier'? Also, what about the peanut-shaped 'light speed barrier' that appeared in the Triangular Galaxy?"

"We don't know the grudges between the 'Light-Descent Civilization' and the 'Matrix Civilization,' not even when those 'light-speed barriers' were formed or in what order. According to the analysis of 'Light Child,' our solar system's 'light-speed barrier' should be the result of some of the 'Light-Descent Civilization's' escape. The 'Matrix Civilization' did not trap all the 'Light-Descent Civilizations.'"

"Yes, if that's the case, then the behavior of the 'light-dropping civilization' in the globular cluster can be explained."

"The 'Matrix Civilization' actually trapped the 'Light-Descent Civilization,' which is truly remarkable."

"How did the 'Matrix Civilization' manage to trap those massive black holes that trapped the 'Light-Drop Civilization'? Even more amazing is that many stars were split in two by the black holes, yet they weren't swallowed by them!"

"We can't explain any of this clearly. The key question is, what do we do now?"

"Dean Zhou, what do you think we should do next? If we destroy the black hole, wouldn't that release the 'Light-Descending Civilization'?"

"That's not necessarily true. Such a massive black hole can't be destroyed so easily. To destroy the supermassive black hole trapping the 'Light-Descending Civilization,' we would need to utilize or transport at least two or three million massive stars, then destroy these stars to create stellar black holes, and then merge these stellar black holes to form another supermassive black hole. This supermassive black hole would then fight against the supermassive black hole trapping the 'Light-Descending Civilization,' and the two supermassive black holes could very well merge into an even larger black hole. The fight between the two supermassive black holes might release the 'Light-Descending Civilization,' or it might destroy it—who knows? If this even larger black hole still can't destroy it, if the 'Light-Descending Civilization' escapes, you all should know the serious consequences."

"Yes, I understand. Right now, this supermassive black hole is only trapping the 'Light-Descent Civilization.' I don't believe an even larger black hole could destroy them," Commander-in-Chief Thomas said worriedly.

"Yes, none of us can guarantee that." Zhou Yuan took a breath, feeling that this matter was indeed troublesome.

"Let's ignore the 'Light-Descent Civilization' for now. They're already trapped by the black hole anyway. We'll deal with this when we're stronger. Then we'll just destroy the globular cluster."

"It can only be the."

Everyone was somewhat frustrated. They knew the 'Light-Descent Civilization' was there, but they just didn't dare to touch them. Humanity on Earth still dared not risk destroying the black holes trapping the 'Light-Descent Civilization,' even though they now possessed the capability.

"Dean Kofi, how is the Imperial Academy of Sciences' research on the comparative prism technology and racial spiritual power progressing?"

"Dean Zhou, the progress of scaling technology is relatively fast. It is easy to convert matter into energy or photons and then restore it to its original state. However, it is naturally more difficult to restore it at a scale of 1:100. The Academy of Sciences has now achieved the restoration at a scale of 1:100, which means shrinking a 160-kilometer-long Tian Shen sniper ship to 1.6 kilometers."

"Hmm, this is already pretty good, faster than I expected."

"Our race's research on spiritual power is progressing rather slowly. Imperial scientists believe that the human physiological structure, especially the brain structure, is different from that of the gods. To understand the spiritual power of the gods, we must dissect a god's brain to see for ourselves."

"Hmm, I'll talk to the Protoss about this and ask for their opinion. The Protoss suffered heavy losses in the last battle at the Sand Star Empire's planetary city. Let's see if we can borrow their corpses. By the way, the Lunar Empire—oh, sorry, Taser—how's that 'Light Child' doing?"

"Dean Zhou, 'Light Child' still hasn't responded to our call. Wasn't 'Light Child''s' original condition that we dominate the Triangle Galaxy?" asked Taser, the leader of the Lunar Empire, who was formerly the commander of the 19th Fleet of the Earth Empire.

"Yes, that's right. We should be considered the dominant force in the Andromeda Galaxy now. Do you all think it's necessary to dominate the Triangle Galaxy? In other words, should we have 'Light Child' respond? I remember 'Light Child' said that we could only acquire the teleportation ring technology after its master, the 'Matrix Civilization,' met with us and granted authorization."

"Brother Zhou, do you mean that if we dominate the Triangle Galaxy, we might encounter the 'Matrix Civilization'?"

"Yes, I'm a little afraid of encountering the 'Matrix Civilization' now."

"Then let's keep a low profile in the Triangulum Galaxy for now."

"Well, let's wait until we need to meet the 'Matrix Civilization' before we dominate the Triangle Galaxy. But there's one question I've never understood."

"Dean Zhou, what question don't you understand?"

"It's still that 'Light Child.' The reason 'Light Child' wanted us to dominate the Triangulum Galaxy was because the Triangulum Galaxy was gradually siding with the Andromeda Galaxy. 'Light Child' seems to mean that as long as we dominate the Triangulum Galaxy, the Triangulum Galaxy will leave the Andromeda Galaxy? I find this statement very strange now. It reminds me of other galaxies and satellite galaxies, such as the Triangulum Galaxy. Its satellite galaxy, the Pisces Dwarf Galaxy, gradually sided with the Milky Way, while the Triangulum Galaxy itself gradually sided with the Andromeda Galaxy. Taser, do you remember? When the Lunar Empire observed the Milky Way from the Triangulum Galaxy, didn't they discover that many satellite galaxies or dwarf galaxies around the Milky Way had been destroyed?"

“I recall this phenomenon occurring. Everyone, please wait a moment, I’ll have someone check the records,” Taser quickly instructed his subordinates.

"Everyone, Dean Zhou has a good memory; he remembers correctly. There are currently thirty-seven living satellite galaxies around the Milky Way, but many satellite galaxies around the Milky Way have been destroyed. The exact number of destroyed satellite galaxies is one hundred and thirty-three!"

"Huh?!" Everyone was taken aback.

"Could these destroyed satellite galaxies have been caused by the Milky Way's gravity?"

“Thomas, I used to think the same way, so I didn’t pay much attention to it before. But today, from the ‘Light-Descent Civilization’ to the ‘Matrix Civilization’, and thinking about the ‘Light Child’, and considering the current state of these galaxies, I don’t believe that the 133 satellite galaxies were wiped out by the Milky Way’s gravity.”

"Dean Zhou, do you mean there is an advanced civilization that can destroy these star systems and control their fate?"

"Everyone, to be honest, given the current strength of the Earth Empire, we could destroy the Triangle Galaxy, the Milky Way, or the Andromeda Galaxy if we had enough time and patience. But that's not my point."

"Oh my god! I think I understand now," exclaimed Kofi, the president of the Imperial Academy of Sciences.

Many people were surprised, and even the president of the Academy of Sciences exclaimed that things were probably not simple.
