Space seemed to have been torn into pieces, and the many stargates in this space naturally could not escape this disaster.
However, this was not the end!
As the stargates that had activated the space channel were destroyed, the hundreds of space channels instantly collapsed and continued to expand.
In just a few seconds, it had already affected the surrounding area of millions of kilometers and completely enveloped the front of the formation of the Second and Thirteenth Fleets.
This was a power that came from the space level and was not something that could be resisted by humans.
In other words, it was not something that a civilization of the level of the Italo Alliance could resist!
In just a moment, the two fleets combined lost more than two billion warships, which was comparable to the result of two zero-point missiles!
This scene of course fell into Thatcher's eyes, and the horror on his face reappeared, even more so than before!
Although the Italo Alliance had just entered the middle stage of a level-6 civilization and had yet to develop a true space-type attack, it did not prevent them from recognizing that the attack that had destroyed the stargate and caused such a catastrophic attack was a space-type attack.
After all, they had been fighting with the Federation for a year, and he was very clear about the space anomaly caused by the Federation's space attack!
And in this star sector, only the fleet formed by destroyers could have such an attack!
Powerful and invincible defense, indestructible and unconventional attack range, all of these stimulated Thatcher.
Was this really a destroyer?
Or did this invader civilization have mastered a higher level of civilization technology and achieved the miniaturization of various key equipment in the warship?
Thatcher, who originally thought that although the enemy was more technologically advanced than his civilization, they were still a civilization of the same level, had doubts for the first time.
On the tactical panel, the small red area was toying with him like a demon, and there was no way for him to escape.
A feeling called despair quickly rose in Thatcher's heart.
-----
"Commander, the 380 stargates deployed by the Italo Alliance have all been destroyed, and because the space channel was activated when the stargates were destroyed, it caused a space collapse effect that affected the surrounding area of about seven million kilometers and destroyed 2.7 billion enemy warships!"
After quickly confirming the effect of the attack, the adjutant reported to Lin Kexin.
Lin Kexin nodded and did not respond. Instead, she continued to look at the tactical image, the three areas that represented the enemy fleet.
His attacks were ineffective, and he couldn't escape.
So, what will you choose next?
The corners of Lin Kexin's mouth curled up. Even though she had the ability to kill her prey at any time, she didn't make a move. Instead, she was observing her prey's reaction. Lin Kexin was like a hunter playing with her prey.
"Commander, an abnormal energy reaction has been detected in the star system. It's level 11 and is about 32,000 light-years away!"
Just as Lin Kexin was looking forward to Thatcher's next reaction, a slightly anxious voice came from the bridge command team. Under Lin Kexin's arrangement, it was the technical officer who had been monitoring the entire Brecht Star System since they entered the system.
"Are you finally going to make your move? Technician, have you locked on to their exact location? "
"We still need some time, Commander!"
"Hurry up, we only have one chance. Once the other party is alerted, it won't be so easy to trick them next time!"
"I understand!"
"Adjutant, order all warships to activate the Time Effect Countermeasure Device immediately!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Immediately, the device on every Dreadnaught-class warship that would only be activated when the fleet was traveling at the eighth speed was all activated!
This special device, which was originally designed to counteract the time dilation effect when the warship's speed exceeded the seventh speed, which was 0.3 times the speed of light, played an unexpected role at this moment.
More than 30,000 light-years away, after the experimental base left behind by the level-8 civilization had gathered enough energy, a terrifying wave was suddenly released. It instantly crossed a distance of tens of thousands of light-years and directly affected the battlefield in the Levis Star System.
A huge time bubble invisible to the naked eye suddenly formed and enveloped the Fearless fleet.
Not only the Fearless fleet, but even the Seventh, Twelfth, and Thirteenth Combined Fleets commanded by Thatcher were also enveloped due to the close distance.
Inside the time bubble, the 30,000-fold time contraction effect was blooming with unparalleled power. Everything within the bubble's range seemed to have been immobilized, completely immobile, except for one exception.
"So this is the time bubble? What an interesting technology!"
The three fleets that had just activated their sub-light speed engines to the maximum and fled frantically were now motionless like statues in the void. No, it was not exactly motionless. It was just that when their movements were slowed down by 30,000 times, from the naked eye's perspective, it was no different from being motionless.
"But … this is really ruthless. They even killed their own people!"
Looking at the various data in the tactical projection, Lin Kexin could not help but frown.
It should be noted that those were her prey, but they were intercepted by others!!!
This made her feel a little uncomfortable!
"Commander, we have located the precise location of the time bubble!"
It was also at this time that the technical officer finally completed the precise location and found the final target of their trip!
"Very good. Immediately distribute the target's coordinates to all warships. Activate the hyperspace engine and set off in one minute!"
"Yes, Commander!"
-----
At the same time, in the Italo Union Council.
"Did it work?"
In the incomparably quiet room, one of the councilors asked with a slightly trembling voice. Then, all the councilors looked at Speaker Reisers.
"It worked!"
"But it's a pity for Thatcher!"
Reisers nodded, then shook his head.
As for Thatcher, he really felt that it was a pity. After all, Thatcher was one of the most capable generals in the union.
Hearing Reisers' confirmation, all the councilors instantly cheered.
After being frightened for so long, although it was the result that they had hoped for, they had avoided the worst outcome.
However …
The expression of Rathers, who was sitting on the main seat, was completely different from the expressions of the other councilors. His face was filled with horror.
The small red dot in the tactical panel was
originally the Fearless fleet that was trapped in the time bubble and completely immobile …
But it suddenly moved!!!
