Chapter 430: Dividing the Chaos Star Domain
Chapter 430: Dividing the Chaos Star Domain
The simultaneous attack from the four Invincible Ship Captains quickly plunged the already recovering Alien Alliance fleet into chaos once again.
In contrast, the Duchy fleets, which had maintained excellent formations, continued their relentless assault, maintaining a staggering 1:10 and even 1:15 kill ratio.
As time passed, in less than twenty minutes, the balance of the battle between the two fleets completely tilted.
Seemingly aware that the battle was beyond redemption, the several Sixth Rank Alien starships that were entangled by the four Invincible Ship Captains ceased paying attention to the surrounding battlefield and instead focused on breaking free from the Mythical Mecha Golems' entanglement to ensure their escape.
However, the Flame Warships, renowned for their formidable power among their peers in the Shattered Star Sea, would not easily allow enemy units to flee.
In the battlefield where the White Night Morning Star, transformed into a Mythical Mecha Golem, stood, the golden Law of Gold merged with the abundant Lawstones ahead. The hull of the Sixth Rank Horned Tribe starship, possessing an exceptionally high Law resistance, continuously collided with the wide blade emitting a faint silver glow, each strike of the blade enveloped in the Law of Gold, slicing through the outer layer of the starship.
One could see that despite the exceptional durability of the Horned Tribe's Sixth Rank starship, as the silver-hued wide blade continuously slashed across the same spot, terrifying fissures visibly widened before their eyes.
Inside the starship, in the command room.
The commander of the First Fleet of the Horned Tribe had a grim expression, gazing at the surrounding starry sky where numerous starships were blasted apart. Its heart bled as it knew that among them were hundreds of thousands of the Horned Tribe's main starships.
However, it soon gritted its teeth, its gaze abruptly shifting to a silver artifact embedded in a unique manner on the starship's control panel.
[Do you wish to activate the Mirage Stone's Shadow Escape ability?]
"Activate!"
Hearing the intelligent prompt in its ear, the commander resolutely chose to activate it.
As long as the mountains remain, there will be firewood to burn.
It understood this principle, and it was also well aware that this defeat signified the conclusion of the Chaos Star Domain's war. Yet, it remained unconcerned.
At this moment, its sole thought was to immediately return to the Chaos Floating Land and urge its race to execute the "Seed of Civilization Plan."
Upon learning about the Great Expansion War, the Horned Tribe's upper echelon had devised the "Seed of Civilization Preservation" plan. Facing the colossal Flame Human Civilization, not only the Horned Tribe but also the dozens of civilizations in the Chaos Star Domain had little hope of victory.
Only by understanding the might of the Flame Human Civilization could one truly grasp the depth of their despair.
From the outset, all civilizations had meticulously planned their Seed of Civilization Preservation plans.
The reason for forming this joint fleet and making a last-ditch effort was merely to cling to the faint glimmer of hope in their hearts.
If possible, no civilization would willingly initiate their so-called Seed of Civilization Preservation plan.
The Seed of Civilization Preservation plan sounded noble, but in reality, the Civilization Nomad Plan would be a more fitting name.
Like stray dogs, they would have to wander far from their home star domains, scattering into the dangerous and desolate unknown starry sea—a choice far from ideal, as any misstep could lead to their demise in foreign star domains.
However, there was no other choice now; the war was decided, and the Chaos Star Domain would soon be incorporated into the Morning Star Kingdom's territory, leaving no room for the Horned Tribe to survive.
Just then, a warning from the starship's AI plunged it into utter despair.
[Warning: Unknown spatial blockade effect. Shadow Escape ability ineffective!]
Upon hearing that the Shadow Escape ability had failed, the Horned Tribe's supreme commander seemed to lose all strength, collapsing limply into the chair.
Its confidence in joining this joint fleet stemmed from this silver-quality Mirage Stone artifact, and now, even this silver artifact had failed, indicating that the Morning Star Kingdom's upper echelon intended to leave no one alive.
Like it, there were others in the Alien Alliance fleet who had similar means of survival, but their methods paled in comparison to this Horned Tribe supreme commander.
As time passed and the Alien Alliance's starships dwindled, the battle became clearer. However, the Sixth Rank battlefield at the center of the conflict was not so easily concluded.
The four Duchy Invincible Ship Captains had indeed suppressed the several Sixth Rank Alien units, but ending the battle was not so swift.
With their escape routes cut off, these Sixth Rank Alien units went berserk, causing headaches for the Invincible Ship Captains with their relentless counterattacks.
At that moment, on the Horned Tribe's Sixth Rank starship facing the White Night Morning Star's mecha giant, a rapidly flashing light suddenly appeared.
Upon seeing this, all surrounding warships instinctively moved away, for if they weren't mistaken, the Horned Tribe starship had activated its self-destruct sequence.
In other words, this Sixth Rank Horned Tribe starship intended to self-destruct, and judging from the confinement beam it shot out, it seemed to want to take the White Night Morning Star with it, resembling a desire for mutual destruction.
However, this threat was not significant. The silver hull armor of the White Night Morning Star, with its protective properties, was promptly activated by Angre Morning Star.
Before the Horned Tribe starship self-destructed, the White Night Morning Star not only reverted to its warship form but also gained an additional layer of bright golden protection.
Boom!
Following the intense explosion was a brief moment of deafening silence. The self-destruct capability of a Sixth Rank starship was formidable; even though the surrounding warships had retreated over ten thousand kilometers, they still suffered considerable damage from the sweeping energy storm.
The overloaded energy shield was the least of their worries, and many Alien starships sank due to the impact.
Turning to the White Night Morning Star, located at the core of the explosion, its once-cool bright golden armor was now battered and broken. Despite its silver hull armor being enhanced to the Sixth Rank limit, it had sustained over 60% damage, with nearly 30% hull damage and a completely overloaded energy shield.
This was the result after activating the repair module twice.
Even so, the surrounding Flame ship captains and numerous Star Sea Aliens were filled with awe.
This was the full-power self-destruction of a Sixth Rank unit, and enduring it was a testament to their strength.
However, before the battles in other areas could continue, a weak spatial fluctuation emerged once more within the vacuum zone with a radius of ten thousand kilometers, created by the self-destruction of the Sixth Rank Horned Tribe starship.
The next second, another Alien Sixth Rank warship appeared in the heavily damaged White Night Morning Star.
In the vicinity.
In the main control room of the Invincible Ship, Angre Morning Star, who had maintained a calm demeanor throughout, suddenly had his eyes widen in shock. He recognized the familiar red glow on the second Sixth Rank Starship that had suddenly appeared.
At this moment, even with his nearly five thousand years of cultivation, he couldn't help but feel a sense of terror.
In its current state, the White Night Morning Star would not withstand another self-detonation from a unit of the same rank. The consequences were unimaginable.
Instinctively, he wanted to activate the second Blinking Part on the warship, but the surrounding space had been sealed off, cutting off his escape route.
In this emergency, the Morning Star Traverse, which had been at the forefront of the Duchy fleet, suddenly appeared in the center of the vacuum region.
A dazzling silver light shot out from the Morning Star Traverse, an almost-limitless Invincible Ship, and instantly penetrated the interior of the Sixth Rank alien starship.
And that was it. The Sixth Rank alien starship seemed to be completely frozen, even its self-destruct countdown paused. By the time it resumed, the Morning Star Traverse had already completed the charging of its two Super Main Cannons.
As expected, the Sixth Rank alien starship succumbed to the attacks of the two Super Main Cannons.
To the side, the Decapitation Fleet's Celestial Ruin Heaven.
In the main control room of the warship, Song Chi's eyes narrowed slightly.
If his guess was correct, the Silver Glory Artifact that had just been fired from Duke Rosetta's ship, the Morning Star Traverse, was likely a time-related part of Silver quality. One of its traits was probably similar to the Meditation Seal · External Time Stop, and one of its two Super Main Cannons was undoubtedly Golden quality.
As for why he was so certain, it was simple. An ordinary Silver quality Super Main Cannon couldn't sink a warship of the same rank so easily, even if it was enhanced to Seventh Rank.
Song Chi's thoughts turned to the warship's communication group chat.
As expected, most of the Deer Hunt Ship Captains had the same expression as he did, indicating that they had also deduced the quality of the two parts.
This incident did not affect the subsequent battle. With millions of alien starships remaining, the fight quickly resumed.
However, with the loss of two Sixth Rank units, the outcome of the battle was already decided; it was only a matter of time.
Soon, nearly two months passed.
After continuous battles and cleanups during this period, the entire alien coalition was finally eliminated. Only then did the Morning Star Traverse voluntarily lift the effect of the large-scale space blockade part.
The main force of the alien coalition fleet had been completely dealt with, signifying the decline of the various alien races in the Chaos Star Domain. The next step was to gradually advance and incorporate the entire Chaos Star Domain into the Duchy's territory.
However, before implementing the subsequent advancement plan, the spoils of war needed to be distributed, and the specific advancement plan for the entire Chaos Star Domain also required a unified arrangement.
With only four years left of the five-year deadline set by the Yaohan Kingdom, there wasn't enough time for collective action. The five major Duchy powers had to advance separately.
Since they had to split up, they needed to decide which route each family would take, and which forces under the Duchy would follow whom. These were all matters that required careful discussion.
Regarding the spoils of war, they consisted of all the gains from annihilating the main fleet of the alien coalition, even though these allied aliens had left most of their belongings in their ancestral homelands. After all, there were nearly ten million starships, and some things were bound to slip through the net.
After several families had taken inventory, they found that there were indeed many good items, not to mention the Floating Continent Primordials. There were also numerous Starsea Artifacts.
Silver Glory Artifact - Shadowstone: 1 piece
Red Glory Artifacts: 29 pieces
Orange Glory Artifacts: 193 pieces
...
Star Plant - Star Devourer Vine Seed
Ten-thousand-year-old Volcanic Magma Iron Core: 20 pieces
Among all these items, Song Chi was only interested in the Shadowstone, which could be transformed into a Blinking Part called Shadow Escape.
Unfortunately, this unique Silver Glory Artifact was not something that a Deer Hunt Ship Captain like him had the qualifications to claim first. Even the entire Song family was not quite worthy, and it was ultimately taken by the Morning Star family.
There was no other way; strictly speaking, the Morning Star family had played a significant role in the destruction of two Sixth Rank starships and provided the large-scale space blockade part. It was only fair that they took the lead.
In the end, Song Chi took the Star Devourer Vine seed.
He had intended to plant the Star Devourer Vine seed directly in the Cultivation Mystic Realm, as the "Mystic Realm Accelerator" trait of the 004th Cultivation Mystic Realm of Chilong Floating Land would give it a natural advantage in cultivating plants.
However, he reconsidered because the Star Devourer Vine, a star plant, was not as valuable as the Silver Apple Mother Tree. It was a creature that devoured the energy of floating continents to nourish itself, and even if it grew, it seemed it could only provide a Starlight Plant Core in the future.
The Starlight Plant Core, though essential for the Silver Apple Mother Tree to return to Sixth Rank, required a Fifth Rank core. Even if the Star Devourer Vine seed could be cultivated to Fifth Rank, it was uncertain whether it would affect the Mystic Realm Primordial Core of the Cultivation Mystic Realm. Even if it didn't, the energy required would not be worth the effort.
After much deliberation, Song Chi stored the Star Devourer Vine seed in the warehouse, where it could be offered to the Treant race if needed.
After the distribution of spoils, the five major Duchy powers had to decide on the specific advancement plan for the entire Chaos Star Domain.
Regarding the route allocation, the Song family's proposal was agreed upon first because they voluntarily withdrew from the central Chaos Star Domain and chose the western region instead.
The western region of the Chaos Star Domain bordered the Red River Star Domain, which could perfectly connect with the Calm Sea Star Domain. Moreover, this western star domain was not small, with a diameter of over 3,000 light-years. Combined with the previous Red River Star Domain and the initial Calm Sea Star Domain, the area was quite impressive.
Additionally, this western star domain also had a 5th-rank life-type floating continent, which was the most satisfying aspect for the Song family.
Compared to others, a higher-rank floating continent was the most crucial foundation for a force.
The other four families had no objections to the Song family's choice. After further discussion, the eastern part of the Chaos Star Domain was given to the Twilight family, the northern part to the Eagle family, and the central part was jointly occupied by the Morning Star family, the Golden Horn Lu family, and the various scattered forces under the five major Duchy powers.
