The Seventh Base

Capítulo 1307: Chapter 66: Severely Weakened

The fleet advanced majestically forward, slowing down while carefully scanning this area.

In the main command room of the Saint Tiya Star, an operator was tuning the instruments. Looking at the data appearing on the screen, he spoke, “Detected several Life Stars.”

“Don’t ask, just destroy them directly upon discovery.” The Commander’s eyes glowed with a golden light as he spoke, “Such inferior human races shouldn’t exist in the universe, wasting its resources.”

Numerous starships in the fleet simultaneously fired, launching weapons toward different discovered planets. To conserve energy, they did not continuously use Star Annihilation weapons. These backward planets lacked counterattack devices and could be destroyed easily.

As they continued their advance, a dense celestial field appeared ahead, filled with giant space rocks.

Suddenly, a powerful energy feedback emerged.

As they continued probing forward, many people’s pupils contracted, and a stern look appeared in the main command rooms of various ships—they had finally found it.

“We’ve found the opponent’s main star.”

“The opponent did not evade but actively requested a connection.”

“Connect.”

As the signal connected, Gaia’s figure simultaneously appeared in front of the fleet’s main ship screen.

Indeed, it finally appeared; all fleet detectors locked in that direction, and the fleet continued forward through the dense celestial area.

“I am Gaia,” Gaia spoke, “As you recklessly destroy Life Stars, I hope you’re aware that the Abyss Fleet has already deployed to the Emperor Star Domain and the Odyssey Star Domain. Though the Abyss Fleet cannot breach the Emperor Star and Odyssey Star Domain’s main stars, destroying ordinary planets within those domains is equally effortless; additionally, fleets from Coriade Star Domain and Tyr Planet are also in the Saint Tiya Star Domain.”

“They cannot breach the Saint Tiya Star’s defense line.” A voice echoed from the Saint Tiya Star’s main ship.

“They have already dispatched part of their fleet to other planets in the Star Domain, at least causing enough destructive power to Saint Tiya Star Domain.” Gaia continued, “Don’t forget, you lost a battle at O’Brian Star, and now the star domains you are in are also under invasion attack. How much strength will be left after this battle?”

“The Church’s fleet is relatively smart; they wisely retreated from the battlefield to preserve strength, and the Abyss Fleet agreed to their terms, withdrawing from Midgard Star to shift the battle to your territory.”

Upon hearing Gaia’s psychological attack, they looked displeased, and the Kales Empire’s Commander spoke, “Don’t be deluded by him; capturing him and the Star Ring will compensate for the losses.”

“Fools.”

Gaia coldly mocked, “Everyone knew you were coming; since this base is destined to be destroyed, did you think the Star Ring would wait here for you? Xu Mo has long left; they will choose another location as a new base to continue developing. Even if you destroy the Skull Star Domain, you’ll gain nothing. Before we leave, we’ll destroy everything in the base ourselves.”

“Since you’ve decided to destroy the base, why are you still here?” The Lin’s Fleet Commander frowned; if so, they should have left earlier, instead of waiting here.

So, what is Gaia’s purpose?

“Because, you must also pay some price after all.” Gaia’s words fell, alarm sounds emitted, and then they saw many beams of Light of Destruction blast toward their fleet from the star.

“Overestimating yourself.”

The Lin’s Commander coldly said, although the five major Alliance Armies only dispatched one fleet to the Skull Star Domain, their lineup was still far stronger than the opponent.

In an instant, the five major Alliance Fleet occupying vast regions of space simultaneously fired; in no time, Light of Destruction illuminated space, converging and colliding in mid-air.

The collision formed terrifying shock waves, destroying everything around, and the dense celestial bodies the fleet passed were instantly engulfed.

But at this moment, a terrifying aura of destruction suddenly arose from many celestial bodies.

“Huh?” The fleet quickly detected the energy anomaly, but the next moment, many strong lights erupted successively; those celestial bodies suddenly formed exceptionally intense explosions. The destruction power from the explosions engulfed that section of space, directly swallowing starships at many fleet edges. The powerful energy destroyed shields and impacted the ship bodies, destroying them.

“Damn it…”

Curses were heard from many starships.

“What’s going on? Why weren’t weapon devices detected?”

“It’s new weapons placed on those celestial bodies. They used the fleet’s attacking energy to destroy the celestial bodies, thereby triggering those weapon devices.”

“Didn’t the Church inform you of how Midgard Star was breached?” Gaia’s voice came again; the fleet continued firing, causing all Hive Weapons placed on the celestial fields to explode, seeming to want to collapse and destroy the space.

The faces of the four major Alliance Army powers turned gloomy; the Church did not warn them.

“Indeed, it seems the Church really wanted this outcome, to weaken your fleet strength.” Gaia said, “This is the price you pay. Withdraw.”

With those words falling, Gaia disconnected the communication, and the majestic fleet departed from the star. As they left, they continued firing, detonating all celestial bodies ahead, although unable to determine the battle’s outcome, they could at least destroy part of the opponent’s strength and delay the opponent.

As the fleet departed the planet, the planet began to explode furiously, with the destructive explosions consuming the entire planet. Just as Gaia had said, he would blow up the planet, leaving nothing behind.

Soon, some fleets charged out from the explosion area, rapidly pursuing Gaia’s fleet, with more fleets following, continuing the pursuit in space.

During their pursuit, they would attack celestial bodies from a great distance to avoid previous situations and destroy any celestial body.

“Dispatch a fleet each to advance in our other directions and clear out any planets that might harbor life,” Lin’s Commander coldly stated, and the other fleet commanders instantly understood his intention.

He was worried about Gaia playing tricks.

Gaia, who played the role of a strategist, possessed a very high level of intelligence. Was it possible that he deliberately did this, destroying a planet that wasn’t actually a base?

“Hmm.” After realizing this, each dispatched part of their fleets to continue advancing in other directions. Along the way, they indeed discovered several Life Stars, which seemed to be the true core area of the Skull Star Domain.

They conducted a round of sweeps.

A while later, they reported the results of the sweeps back to the main ship, which issued orders for them to follow the main force.

Even if Gaia was playing tricks, the base should have been destroyed by them.

After the fleet departed, in the region where the initial explosions occurred, a lone celestial planet was engulfed by the destructive explosion storm. Even outside this planet, there were violent explosions. They had placed the Hive Weapon outside the planet and detonated it, and the terrifying energy generated by the explosion completely covered up the situation inside the planet.

At this moment, the planet shut down all energy devices, countless people stood in the darkness, looking up outside. The destructive strong light from the sky shone down like the breath of death.

But in the end, apart from the planet experiencing an earthquake, nothing else happened.

Skull Star escaped a disaster, and Skull Star’s geographical location saved the planet.

In space, a pursuit battle broke out.

This pursuit battle lasted for a long time. The Skeleton Star Fleet used suicide attacks to block the opponent’s steps, preventing their fleet from catching up to the main force, paying a significant price for it.

The starships involved in the suicide attacks ultimately could not get close to the opponent, all exploding into dust in space.

In the outer space of Chloe Star, the fleets of the Four Major Alliances approached Chloe Star, and the expression on the Commander in the main ship was extremely grim.

They ultimately allowed Gaia and the others to escape to Chloe Star. Now, the opponent’s fleet had already entered the Space Base.

Almost all of O’Brian Republic’s armed forces had been mobilized to participate in the battle on the Capital Star, while Chloe Star still retained a few warships. In addition, the Space Base could still form a line of defense; now, Gaia’s fleet was added to it.

In this way, attacking and breaking through would not be an easy task.

The strength of the Four Major Alliances’ fleets was not as strong as before. Even if they managed to capture the Chloe Star Space Base, it would come at a considerable cost.

The Alliance Fleet advanced at a reduced speed, and in the main ship command room on Saint Tiya Star, someone spoke, “The Space Base defense system has been fully activated. After the previous war, Chloe Star even strengthened the Space Base’s defenses. Weapons are locked on us and have already entered firing range, but the opponent hasn’t opened fire.”

“What do you all say?” a voice came in, originating from a main ship of the Odyssey Star Domain.

“Attack.” The icy voice came from the main ship of the Kales Empire, once again this battlefield.

“The war on O’Brian Star has been over for several days. The Republic Fleet could come to support at any time. If this isn’t taken, we are the ones left behind,” Lin’s main ship Commander spoke.

“The Odyssey Star Domain is under attack by the Abyss Fleet; we need to withdraw.”

Saint Tiya Star Domain was actually the same, and right now they were somewhat like a lone force. O’Brian Republic had not been completely crushed, still holding on.

“Withdraw.”

Saint Tiya Star’s main ship Commander ordered, and the fleet began to retreat.

As they withdrew, all the major fleets also had no choice but to retreat.

The grand fleet left the outer space of Chloe Star, and the Five Major Alliances officially retreated.

Meanwhile, wars continued in the Odyssey Star Domain and Saint Tiya Star Domain.

This cosmic battle that erupted this time was not over yet, but O’Brian Republic was almost destroyed, with the Space Base ruined, while the Five Major Alliances fleet also suffered heavy losses. The Church and the homeland of Saint Tiya Star also faced destructive attacks.

Of course, the attacking Abyss Fleet, Tyr Star Domain Fleet, and Coriade Star Domain Fleet also faced significant losses.

In this war, the top forces across the Universe all suffered greatly.
