Chapter 147: Protecting the Fairy

The globular cluster that collided with the Imperial intelligent black hole experienced a terrible turn of events. The black hole was actually pulled out of the globular cluster by the intelligent black hole. This black hole, pulled out of the globular cluster, was rapidly devouring a large number of stars in the globular cluster from its tail. The huge torrent of matter ejected from its tail was also attacking the stars and matter in the globular cluster. The tail of the black hole also emitted a strong gamma-ray burst, shooting into the interior of the globular cluster.

Something was happening inside this globular cluster. Suddenly, about a million large and medium-sized warships flew out from all directions of the globular cluster, accelerated, and entered hyperspace.

Like the other twenty-one globular clusters, these warships were preparing to retreat to the two Norm star systems.

However, the Andromeda Galaxy's hyperspace had just been blockaded by the Imperial fleet. A million warships began falling from hyperspace back into normal space.

One million warships were arranged in a strange formation to confront the enemy, with large warships on the outer perimeter, medium-sized warships in the middle, and large warships again in the innermost part.

This time, the Imperial Fleet did not participate; instead, the fleets of the forty-three alliance members were allowed to engage in their first large-scale combat exercise.

A combined force of ten million warships from the Pan-Interstellar Alliance surged forward. The fleets of the Protoss, the Sand Star Humans, and the Star Luo Empire bore the brunt of the attack.

Protoss carriers unleashed powerful jets of plasma energy. Protoss Tempests, through improved kinetic matrices, gathered extremely powerful and stable energy, which coalesced within their hulls into a sphere containing highly charged particles, which they then fired at distant targets. Protoss Glows, when their prism beams were aimed at a target, had more focusing arrays converge, multiplying the beam's intensity and power to strike enemy ships. These three Protoss ship types were particularly devastating, immediately destroying the enemy's lead ships.

Terran aircraft carriers, cruisers, hover missile turrets, star fortresses, and other weapons, along with lasers, missiles, and photon cannons, all fired at the enemy fleet.

The Star Luo Empire's warships clashed head-on, relying on their superior shields to exchange fire with the enemy warships.

The other Pan-Star Alliance member warships also displayed their fleet strength.

Ten million warships emitted intense lasers, plasma streams, and light bullets, converging into a massive energy torrent and particle stream that rapidly struck the million warships.

One million warships fought back fiercely, and an interstellar warship battle unfolded in a certain interstellar space in the Andromeda Galaxy.

Wei Yuan, Wei Zhou, Lei Dazhou, and Lei Feiyuan of the Star Luo Empire all participated in the battle aboard warships, while Lei Dafei commanded the battle from the flagship of the Star Luo Empire fleet. Lei Dafei indeed inherited Lei Dam's imperial military talent, strategizing and commanding from the center of the fleet. With some assistance from Lei De, his ability to command the fleet greatly improved. The warlike nature of the Star Luo people was clearly revealed in this battle. Other alliance members later summarized the Star Luo people's performance in this battle into four points: first, their fearless and relentless advance; second, their strategic and tactical abilities; third, their strong teamwork within the fleet; and fourth, their ruthlessness towards enemies and their unwavering loyalty to allies.

One million warships, outnumbered ten to one, struggled to hold on. The combined shields of these one million warships miraculously withstood several fierce attacks from the allied forces. However, these one million warships also became a firing range for the allied forces to practice their combat skills.

Just as the allied forces were having a good time, they suddenly received an urgent call from the Earth Empire fleet: "The two star systems of Juchi are preparing to attack the Andromeda Galaxy. All alliance member fleets, flee the Andromeda Galaxy as soon as possible!"

All the allied fleets from the Andromeda Galaxy began accelerating into hyperspace, fleeing the Andromeda Galaxy and the two Norm galaxies. Alliance members whose home systems were not Andromeda Galaxy fled to their respective home systems; for example, the Star Luo Empire fleet fled to the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy. Alliance members whose home systems were Andromeda Galaxy, such as the Sand Star Humans and the Protoss, hurriedly rushed to the Iron Triangle base. The Earth Empire's ten "Halo Garden" fleets had already added the various home planets of the Sand Star Humans and Protoss to the "Halo Garden." These ten Imperial fleets, along with the Sand Star Human and Protoss fleets, all accelerated into hyperspace, fleeing the Andromeda Galaxy and heading towards the Small Magellanic Clouds.

The remaining ninety Earth Empire "Halo Garden" fleets from the Andromeda Galaxy Iron Triangle Base accelerated into hyperspace, heading towards the two Norm galaxies.

The Imperial Fleet's ten moon-sized "Shengtianbo" began to abandon its pursuit of the globular cluster and instead flew directly toward the force field propulsion system of the two star systems, Ju and Chi!

However, it was still too late. A rectangular galaxy had already adjusted its orientation and attitude, and the torrent of energy particles emanating from its center was being fired directly at faster-than-light speed at the Andromeda Galaxy. However, the Andromeda Galaxy's imperial intelligent black hole absorbed this torrent of energy particles, a continuous stream being absorbed by the black hole. These energy particles were trapped in the black hole, accelerating continuously near it. The black hole's extremely strong magnetic field focused these energy particles into jets ejected outward along the black hole's axis of rotation, that is, towards the black hole's poles. As more energy particles were absorbed, the black hole's gravity increased, the event horizon expanded, and the black hole's mass continued to increase.

The Rectangular Galaxy, which was attacking the Andromeda Galaxy, was suddenly forced to stop its attack because the galactic force field dynamics system was also absorbed into the "belly" of the "Shengtian Bowl".

The "Shengtian Bowl," ten times the size of a moon, began chasing the twenty-one globular clusters again. The globular clusters seemed terrified of this tiny, moon-sized metallic sphere, accelerating directly into hyperspace and rushing towards the central region of the Virgo Supercluster.

The ten moon-sized "Heavenly Bowls" accelerated into hyperspace, rushing rapidly towards Centaurus-Hydra. The force field dynamics systems of the ten globular clusters and two rectangular galaxies were absorbed and cleared by the "Giant Gravitational Source." The ten "Heavenly Bowls" then returned to the two rectangular galaxies.

Ninety Earth Empire fleets have already engaged in battle with the remaining forces in two Norm star systems, including several interstellar fortresses and strongholds. The Imperial fleets, using interstellar catapults, launched numerous neutron stars and stars that directly struck their targets, destroying the interstellar fortresses and strongholds.

Next to the Andromeda Galaxy are two galaxies from the Norma Supercluster. Lacking a force field propulsion system, they cannot accelerate or enter hyperspace and are no different from ordinary galaxies.

The hostile forces in these two star systems were swiftly and forcefully annihilated by the Imperial fleet. The Andromeda Galaxy is temporarily safe.

It's fair to say that the defense of the Andromeda Galaxy would have been a devastating defeat had it not been for the Empire's "Shengtianbowl." The enemy likely didn't anticipate the power of the "Shengtianbowl," otherwise, the Empire's single intelligent black hole would have been no match for the combined attack of over thirty globular clusters.

The globular cluster in the Andromeda Galaxy has essentially "fallen apart," with many stars undergoing gravitational rebalancing, colliding, merging, and of course, many others remaining peaceful.

The Empire's intelligent black hole has lost its intelligent control and combat attack capabilities, and has become a supermassive black hole, slowly devouring the matter around it.

In reality, that "Heavenly Bowl," the size of the moon, couldn't hold two globular clusters. Because of this, the Earth Empire fleet in the Andromeda Galaxy felt an increasing sense of crisis, as they didn't know when the enemy would arrive next, or what powerful weapons would be used against them. They could only wait for reinforcements from the Earth Empire's Milky Way galaxy.

The Sand Star People and Protoss races of the Small Magellanic Cloud continue to temporarily reside in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Meanwhile, the Earth Empire's Andromeda Galaxy fleet remains at its original location at the Andromeda Galaxy's Iron Triangle base.

The leaders or representatives of the Pan-Interstellar Alliance held a brief meeting at the Earth Empire's Iron Triangle base. During the meeting, the base's commander-in-chief frankly pointed out that, given the insufficient strength of the Earth Empire's fleet in the Andromeda Galaxy, all members of the Pan-Interstellar Alliance must prepare for their entire civilization to flee the Virgo Supercluster. Of course, the Pan-Interstellar Alliance members were comforted by the expectation that Earth Empire's galactic support would arrive soon.

The Earth Empire's Andromeda Galaxy fleet dispatched forty-three fleets to the locations of forty-three members of the Pan-Interstellar Alliance. Each member had an Imperial fleet. In the event of an alliance member civilization's complete escape, the Earth Empire's fleet could readily assemble a stellar-level "Halo Garden" to carry the sun and home planet of each member civilization on a hyperspace intergalactic journey to escape.

The forty-three members of the Pan-Interstellar Alliance were naturally extremely grateful to the Empire. For now, these alliance members could only conduct intergalactic fleet voyages; long-distance hyperspace travel with the sun and their home planet was still in the research stage for them.

At the Andromeda Galaxy fleet base, workers are working overtime to produce intelligent components for the "Shengtianbowl." Even if the peace period is short, it is at least a psychological comfort.

“Father, if it weren’t for the Earth Empire’s fleet, the Pan-Interstellar Alliance would have been completely annihilated, and every civilization of ours would probably have perished.”

"Daffy, you performed exceptionally well this time. I commend everyone involved in this battle. If the Earth Empire's galactic base had been there, we wouldn't have been in such a sorry state. It's also fortunate that Zhou Yuan insisted on leaving those one hundred Earth Empire fleets in the Andromeda Galaxy. I, Lydam, admire no one but him. Now that I think about it, whatever his initial intentions were in leaving the fleets behind, at least this time the Earth Empire fleets saved all the civilizations of the Pan-Interstellar Alliance. Back then, some alliance members talked about breaking away from the Earth Empire's leadership, but I doubt anyone will mention it again for a long time to come."

"Father, since the Earth Empire is so powerful, why not share some of their advanced technologies with the Alliance members?"

“Wei Yuan, that’s a good question. I’ve been thinking about this question before, and for a while I did complain about why the Earth Empire didn’t share more technology with us. Now that I think about it, the Earth Empire has its own considerations or difficulties. I personally think that perhaps more than anything, the Earth Empire is thinking about us.”

"Father, we children know little. What do you mean?"

“Wei Zhou, the greater one’s ability, the greater one’s responsibility. If strong and capable people turn bad, it will not be a blessing for the masses.”

"My child understands."

"Father, Mother has mentioned Zhou Yuan to you many times. What kind of person is he?"

"Little girl, you'll understand when you grow up."

"Father, I'm a boy now, I've grown up, and I want to know now." In the Star Luo Empire, probably only Lai Feiyuan dares to speak to Leidam like this and act so coquettishly.

Leidam was silent for a while, then looked at Leidafei and Leidaya, and then at Weizhou Weiyuan, Leidazhou Leifeiyuan and the other two. These four people clearly sensed that their father was acting strangely today.

Throughout the entire Royal Council Hall, numerous civil and military officials, and the six princes, everyone held their breath. Even Lady Leifie stared wide-eyed at her father, Emperor Leidam.
