From the paint on the ships, it was clear they were part of the Northern Alliance's Seventh Fleet. It was one of the Northern Alliance's strongest fleets.
"On one of our expeditions, the fleet we sent out was completely annihilated. All we got back was an ambiguous message."
The Terminator's deep voice boomed. "They were ambushed. That's all we know.
After that, the Northern Alliance sent out three more fleets, each stronger than the last.
But the end result was the same. They were all gone, and not a single message was sent back.
Because the time that we had been missing was getting shorter and shorter, we felt as though an unknown power that could devour us was approaching us.
That's why the Seventh Fleet was sent out.
And it was because of this mission that we were able to see something. "
The Terminator used the simplest of words to explain the situation, but it was enough to make everyone tense up.
Not many people knew that there was an unknown creature that could threaten humanity. If the Terminator hadn't revealed it today, the common people wouldn't even know about it.
Even the Adepts on Skyfire Avenue didn't know what the Northern Alliance's Seventh Fleet had discovered.
The Northern Alliance had put a lot of effort into this year's Tournament to attract the attention of the entire human race.
The Gourmet, the Pharmacist, and everyone else's faces grew solemn. The Northern Alliance's actions meant the Northern Alliance couldn't defend against this unknown threat.
Otherwise, in order to prevent people from panicking, this kind of news would never be spread to everyone.
The scene changed.
They could see it.
The powerful Seventh Fleet kept flying forward.
Slowly.
Three strange planets appeared in front of them.
These three planets looked quite huge and were suspended in the universe in a triangular formation. If not for the faint purple glow emitted by the stars in the distance, it would have been difficult to see their existence in this vast universe.
It was also the first time Lan Jue had seen these planets. They were still some distance away, so he couldn't see what they looked like. However, as far as he knew, purple planets didn't exist.
The Seventh Fleet slowed down.
The 7th Space Fleet slowed down. The battleships and capital ships slowly spread out into formation.
In order to unleash the full power of a space fleet, they had to first spread out their formation. Only then could they unleash their full power.
The Yuan class mothership sat in the center, and the four Commander-class ships also spread out.
One after another, fighter jets and mechs flew out from these battleships and were densely arranged in outer space.
At this moment, the Princeps class mothership suddenly lit up. Circles of light blue light emitted from the front of the mothership.
Right in front of the mothership, a huge gap slowly opened up.
A huge cannon was revealed.
The cannon's caliber was ten times larger than the entire Major League Sports Center. Even though it was only on the screen, it still struck fear into the hearts of the viewers.
This was the main cannon of a Capital ship. Other than Bastion ships, it was humanity's most powerful weapon.
The power of the mothership's main cannon could directly destroy some asteroids of a certain size.
The mothership's main cannon was aimed at the largest of the three planets in the distance. A terrifying amount of energy gathered and grew.
At that moment, the planet it was aiming at seemed to sense something. Under everyone's shocked gaze, the planet began to expand. In the space of a few breaths, it had grown to ten times its original size.
The already huge planet looked even more terrifying. In the center of the swollen planet, an oval-shaped black hole that looked like a giant mouth slowly cracked open. The deep darkness seemed to be able to devour even light, and the Seventh Fleet in the image clearly dimmed a little.
The mothership's main cannon was finally charged up, and a huge beam of white light suddenly shot out. The moment the white light was shot out, it was like a sphere, but very quickly, it became a huge beam of light that seemed to be able to pierce through the universe. It crossed the sky and went straight for the expanding planet.
All of the ships were charging, and their cannons were firing. They aimed at the distant planet. Of course, there were very few cannons that could cross such a long distance, so they were just preparing to attack.
They were confident in the power of the mothership's main cannon. Although the planet in front of them was strange, they were confident that a full blast from the Chancellor would be effective.
The planet was already enormous, and now it was ten times its original size. There was no way to evade.
The beam of light, more than ten times the size of a Major League stadium, pierced through the purple planet.
However, a strange scene appeared. When the white light entered, it seemed to have disappeared into thin air. It was completely devoured by the black hole.
Was the explosion delayed?
The same thought flashed through the minds of all the ship commanders.
After all, there was still quite a distance between their current location and the planet. Even if it was light, it would still take some time to fly.
Perhaps the planet had some sort of defensive mechanism that delayed the explosion. But such a large amount of energy couldn't possibly be swallowed up.
As it turned out, the explosion would not be devoured. Because, as they looked at the purple-red planet expectantly, the white light inside the black hole of the purple-red planet gradually became stronger.
It exploded!
The Seventh Fleet's mothership did not hesitate to launch an attack as soon as it arrived. Naturally, it was because the previous exploration fleet had been completely annihilated. There was no doubt that these three purple-red planets were hostile to mankind, so the most important thing was to eliminate the possible dangers as much as possible, which was more important than occupying them.
Therefore, the military's order was to destroy anything that could threaten mankind at all costs.
Just as the Seventh Fleet was about to celebrate the scene of the planet being bombarded by the main cannon, their pupils suddenly dilated.
A huge white beam of light shot out from the black hole of the planet. What … what was that?
The mothership's main cannon?
But why was it shot back untouched?
The speed of light was so fast that before the Seventh Fleet could react, the terrifying white light had already enveloped the mothership.
The mothership's protective shield was fully activated, but the power of the main cannon was terrifying. The protective shield was rapidly weakening under the terrifying attack, and its color was gradually fading.
It should be noted that motherships rarely intervened in collisions between space fleets. This was because a full-force attack from a mothership would consume at least the value of ten S-grade energy gems.
But the power of a mothership's attack was truly unparalleled.
It was the same for their own bodies.
At this critical moment, the Northern Alliance's fleet demonstrated a very strong cooperative fighting ability.
Beams of light shot out from the surrounding Commander-class ships and expeditionary class ships, intercepting the reflected fire from the mothership.
As for the lower level battleships, their attacks were not of much use.
With the help of many battleships, they finally managed to resist the reflected attack.
But just as everyone was about to recover from the shock, the planet in the distance opened its mouth to spit out countless purplish-red dots of light that flew in their direction.
Even from afar, they could see that the purplish-red dots were like dark clouds. It was impossible to tell how many there were.
The image zoomed in, and they could finally see them clearly.
They were all purplish-red beasts.
Lan Jue's pupils contracted. Weren't these beasts very similar to the ones she'd seen on Taihua?
But even the smallest of them was no smaller than the Queen Mother they had killed on Taihua. In fact, it was even larger.
Some giant beasts flapped their huge wings that were hundreds of meters wide, some were like a huge cauliflower, and some had forelimbs that were as thick as giant blades.
The flying speed of these behemoths was not inferior to the Interstellar Fleet at all, and their numbers were too terrifying.
As far as the eye could see, it was impossible to count them clearly.
The Seventh Fleet immediately responded. A large number of cannons attacked from all directions. Although the main cannons of the motherships were quite powerful, all sorts of secondary cannons were also protruding out. Densely packed light beams shot across the sky, shooting towards the giant beasts.
As it turned out, these giant beasts did not have the ability to reflect powerful attacks like planets. They would still die under the bombardment.
However, their defense was also very strong. Only those cannons with enough power could directly annihilate some of the monsters.
Moreover, there were too many of these monsters, so many that artillery fire could not stop them from advancing.
Some of the giant beasts flying at the front kept spitting out beams of purplish-red light, which collided with the beams fired by the Seventh Fleet and nullified most of the attacks.
As they got closer, they could see the terrifying numbers of the beasts. They were completely encircling the Seventh Fleet. One by one, the giant beasts kept spitting out blinding beams of light, and it looked like the encirclement was about to take shape.
The powerful firepower of the Seventh Fleet was obviously insufficient compared to these giant beasts. Fortunately, the attacks of the beasts did not seem to be able to reach far.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Seventh Fleet immediately gave the order to retreat.
But it was also at this moment, in the path of their retreat, a number of purplish-red light spots lit up in the dark of space. One by one, the beasts seemed to have appeared out of thin air, cutting off their path of retreat.
These strange creatures were very organized, like an army.
