After traveling at full speed for a day, the Sixth Fleet finally approached the universe where the Fallen Apostle's offensive was at its strongest. Right now, the fleet was resting and reorganizing at the critical point of the void outside the world. We needed to adjust our condition before we could enter the battlefield. Otherwise, the decrease in combat strength brought about by long-distance raids would be magnified many times over on the battlefield. Sandora already knew of our approach. She was currently suppressing the Fallen Apostle's offensive with all her might, doing her best to provide us with safe coordinates to enter.
A territorial war built on intergalactic technology could not be mentioned in the same breath as a conventional war. When the scale of the two warring parties reached a certain degree, and when the entire universe was the goal of conquest, the two armies would no longer be as simple as exchanging cannon fire in the same universe. The two warring parties would do their utmost to seize control of the world barrier. They would constantly change the universal constants within the world, either to give themselves an advantage or to harass the enemy. In extreme situations, the world coordinates and the universe's space constants would become the battlefield. Often, before the two armies fought in the material world, they would carry out a technological battle on the conceptual level and the world barrier. Right now, we were already making preparations for this battle.
We all knew the state of every world of order in the endless void. I had once compared the void to an infinitely wide range of channels, and the universe was one of the 'channels' that just happened to have a precise meaning and could be received by frequency modulation. The information carried by this channel was all things in the world. If you wanted to fight a territorial war in the world of order, then the first step was to make it easier for your own fleet to enter this channel, and at the same time, interfere with the enemy's' frequency modulation 'process. The struggle for the world barrier was based on this strategic goal. The first party to control the world barrier had more opportunities to change the identification information of the world barrier, creating a huge obstruction for the enemy to enter the world, or allowing their own fleet to pass through faster. In the early stages of the Fallen Apostle's attack, they relied on their unprecedentedly large army to instantly drown out the Imperial Army's void disruptors on the world barrier. Moreover, they anchored their invading ships in this chaotic zone between the world of order and the void, altering the information representation of the world barrier on a large scale. Sandora fought fiercely for twenty-four hours, yet she was still unable to completely seize control of the world barrier. She could only ensure that the Sixth Fleet and subsequent reinforcements could safely enter the battlefield, but she could no longer use the world barrier's filtering effect to obstruct the enemy. This was also the reason why the Fallen Apostle could continuously enter the battlefield.
The Sixth Fleet stopped outside the world barrier. We were currently in an area where the Imperial Army had a slight advantage, so we wouldn't be disturbed by the Fallen Apostle. However, the enemy had definitely noticed that a large scale reinforcements had already arrived on the battlefield. The early warning radar showed that a large and densely packed red patch was approaching our military's field of order.
However, they couldn't come over. Sandora had placed a large number of disruptors on the world barrier. These disruptors were being depleted at an alarming rate, but as long as they were still in operation, they could blow anything that approached them into the void. They could even directly destroy the small-scale spaceships that were near the edge of the field of order. For the time being, the Sixth Fleet didn't need to worry about being obstructed by the world barrier.
I turned on the holographic projection on the officer's platform and chose to display the view outside the fleet. If we were in a pure void environment, doing so would be meaningless because there was no scenery to see in the void. The view would only show endless darkness. However, the fleet was stuck close to the world barrier. This was a chaotic zone between order and the void, so the holographic projection could display some things.
"It looks really hard to understand," I muttered softly. The fleet was in the field of order that had a radius of several million kilometers. Outside the field of order that was several million kilometers in radius, there was chaos where the colors of darkness and grayish-white clashed continuously. It was like fog, but there seemed to be some sort of pattern to the fog. It would occasionally appear as a mirage or form a structure like a nebula vortex. This was an illusion projected by everything in the universe within the world barrier. It could be said that they were really mirages in the void. The experts of the Empire could determine the current stability and damage of the universe from the gathering and dispersing of these illusions. However, I could only see … yep, it was rather hypnotic.
"The stability of the universe is still above the critical value. It seems to be safe for the time being." Xiaoxue looked at the incomprehensible scene with a professional eye. Perhaps her professional knowledge was not as abundant as the experts of the Empire, but her special eyes could greatly help her understand things that couldn't be directly interpreted. "The Fallen Apostle has been destroying the fundamental constants of the universe in an attempt to detonate the entire universe to advance his invasion line. However, the power of the Leaving World Garden is now fully activated. Basically, the damaged universal constants can be quickly replaced by a new mathematical model."
"Sandora, we are ready. We can enter the battlefield at any time." Her sister pressed her hand on the communicator. "Give us a coordinate. This place isn't very stable. The Fallen Apostle might attack this area forcefully."
"They have been attacking forcefully." Sandora's calm voice came over. "They have been attacking forcefully for a full twenty-four hours. The power line on the world barrier has never stabilized … Wait a moment. I am currently giving the order to calculate the stable entry coordinates. The enemy has destroyed the stability of this universe. Right now, the spatial coordinates of the entire world are being calculated in a very awkward manner. It isn't safe to jump in recklessly."
"As soon as possible. Be careful," I replied quickly. Then, I temporarily hung up the communicator.
"A servant fleet has arrived. Requesting to merge with the Sixth Fleet's Order Field." The mainframe of the ship made a broadcast at this moment.
I casually waved the holographic projection in front of me away. A large, dazzling image was swept to the side. In the end, what stopped in front of me was a communication panel. On it was a familiar face: Roland Gale.
"Your Majesty! The Civilization Community's Fourth and Fifth Combined Fleets have arrived at the battlefield! This is our last wave of troops. "
The hale and hearty old man was dressed in a military uniform, standing in the commander's seat. He had originally given up on the responsibility of leading the army to focus on the Civilization Community's internal affairs. But now, he had actually appeared on the battlefield once again. It was just as he had said. The Civilization Community had sent all of their fleets to rescue the Emperor.
After the Civilization Community's fleets arrived, the Sixth Fleet's Order Field received even more requests to merge with them. More reinforcements were arriving from all over the Empire's territory. They were waiting for the world barrier to reach a critical point and for the universe's environment to be suitable for a jump to enter the battlefield. Ever since the border was in a state of emergency yesterday, reinforcements from all over the Empire's territory had been arriving non-stop. Because the Civilization Community was closer to the battlefield, they were the first batch to send all of their troops to their positions. Now, the universe was almost filled with warring fleets. Almost every galaxy had an area of intense crossfire. The Fallen Apostle and the Imperial Army as well as the servant army were fighting over every inch of space. The warring parties were not specifically fighting over a planet or galaxy with strategic value. Instead, they were fighting over the control of the entire universe. Because of this, they had to occupy as much space as possible so that their mathematical weapons could be effective in more places. This was until the entire world's rules were under their control. Then, they could use this to completely repel their enemies. This was the war for the world. The flames of war overflowed into the heavens, burning all the dimensions of the universe.
"Sandora, we need to guide the coordinates." After more fleets merged with the Sixth Fleet's Order Field, my sister turned on the communicator again. This time, we quickly received the coordinate encryption algorithm from Sandora, as well as a short message. "You have three safe intervention points. The space at these three coordinates is still stable and won't bounce you back into the void. However, the Fallen Apostle has already set up warning probes across the entire universe. You will immediately be attacked."
"If worst comes to worst, I'll just bounce them back instantly. I'll give them a big gift," my sister said calmly. These three coordinates were accompanied by a brief explanation. I noticed that one of the coordinates was close to the space zone where Sandora was currently fighting. That place was located at the center of the universe. A supermassive galaxy of death was slowly collapsing at the edge of the battlefield. If the Sixth Fleet were to "land" there, they would naturally be the fastest to join the battle. However, we were currently the wave of reinforcements in the best condition. If we were to throw our combat power into the largest battlefield, it would be difficult for us to achieve the effect of a surprise attack. This was my plan. We would send our fleets to the area where the Fallen Apostles were more concentrated, but the intensity of the current battle was not high. This would allow us to achieve a surprise attack on the enemy.
After eliminating the first coordinate, I turned my attention to the remaining two. I quickly eliminated one of them. That coordinate was too far away, almost at the edge of the universe. It would be the safest for the Sixth Fleet to jump there. We would almost never be attacked by the enemy's main force. However, at the same time, it would be difficult to help Sandora reduce the pressure from the enemy.
The last coordinate was located a billion light years away from the main battlefield. A legion of the Fallen Apostles had just established a position there. It seemed that they were preparing to launch long-range firepower support to the main battlefield. This coordinate was located within the range of an aging ancient galaxy. The space was filled with overflowing heavy elements and lingering starlight. Alright, let's not talk about the local scenery for now. However, this place seemed to be very suitable for landing.
There were not many enemies. Furthermore, their attention was temporarily focused on the main battlefield. Sandora had attracted 80% of the enemy's firepower at that coordinate. In that case —
"All fleets, pay attention. We will descend to the main material plane in five minutes. It is expected that we will be 'taken care of' by the enemy's powerful firepower. Everyone, prepare to resist the impact!" Xiaoxue walked up to the officer's platform and announced in a loud and steady voice. I added the second half of the sentence, "Servant army, pay attention to the formation at the first moment. The cursed field will reflect attacks with a high probability in the first few minutes. Your mission is to expand the effective range of the cursed field as much as possible. It would be best if you can reflect all the enemy's first round of attacks …"
A resolute and high-spirited response came from every channel. Then, the mainframe of the ship entered the 'sinking' state. A few minutes later, a low buzzing sound spread from the depths of the Empire Admiral to the entire starship. The ship was leaving the world barrier and gradually entering the world of Order.
"Attention, the fleet will enter the main material plane in thirty seconds … The fleet will enter the main material plane in twenty seconds … The enemy's active radar has been detected … Our army has been locked on … Entering in five seconds … Four … Three … Two … One …"
With a snap, the moment the mainframe of the ship's broadcast ended, the big sister crushed a small crystal bead that she was playing with in her hand. She used this action to focus her attention. Then, an indescribable but extremely unsettling and oppressive 'aura' instantly spread across the entire Empire Admiral with her as the center. Using every spaceship of the Sixth Army as a springboard, it was transmitted to the massive servant army gathered around the fleet. The entire army was instantly placed in a meticulously designed probability environment.
The impending attack had yet to arrive, but the outcome had already been planned in advance.
"A … gift!" A powerful energy emanated from the big sister's body, even the space around her was distorted. Her eyes seemed to be leaping with dim lightning, and the stars in the dark sky were reflected in those eyes, quickly turning into a turbid black fog. The big sister closed her eyes and opened them a few seconds later, and I saw that the whites of her eyes had disappeared.
There was only darkness in her eyes.
This was the first time I saw my sister release such a strong pressure. I believed that this was also the first time she used the real power of God after her deification. This power made Bryndis, who was originally relaxed, slip under the table in an instant. This female gangster had now established motor nerves based on conditioned reflex.
"The enemy's attack has arrived. Everyone, prepare for impact …"
The mainframe of the ship issued an urgent alarm. Then, the space within a radius of millions of kilometers around the fleet was filled with countless vortex-like spatial rifts. Then, endless energy storms and super heavy fortress missiles surged out of these spatial rifts. All of them carried the frenzied presence of the abyss.
I barely had the time to observe the battlefield's environment before I saw the overwhelming artillery bombardment from the holographic projection. The welcome gift that the Fallen Apostles had given us was indeed extravagant. I reckoned that their goal was to use missiles and light beams to bury the entire Sixth Army. However, these attacks quickly became their own nightmare.
The firepower projected through the hyperspace system had more variables than direct firepower, because the hyperspace system and space were things that could malfunction, and the variables were the best weapons for the big sister. By manipulating probability, the big sister could increase the probability of dimensional distortion to almost 100%, and make them distort in the most impossible way. If the difficulty of using probability to reflect a direct firepower was 10%, then the difficulty of reflecting a hyperspace attack was probably less than half. The effect of the Reversal Halo of Misfortune had spread through the servant army, and almost all the enemy's attacks fell into the fatal probability trap. The moment the overwhelming light beams and heavy missiles came into contact with the Imperial Army's Joint Shield, all kinds of space wonders that defied common sense filled the entire space within the observation range.
Space was deflected, the world's coordinates went haywire, a flash of wormhole, the malfunction of the hyperspace firepower projector … A series of events that were so small that there were a few kilometers of zeros behind the decimal point happened simultaneously. 87% of the incoming firepower was reflected back just like that.
The Imperial Army's Joint Shield was hit head-on by the attacks that could not be reflected. It rippled, but it did not budge. The mainframe of the ship calculated that the entire army's shield had been weakened by less than 5%, and this damage could be recovered almost instantly. The servant army continued to spread out in formation. They still had a few minutes before the Reversal Halo of Misfortune ended. Now, the captains of the servant army, who had almost become adrenaline tanks, were giving orders for their spaceships to charge into the enemy's firepower from any direction in space. They had an invincible anti-damage shield, and they felt that they were invincible in the world.
"They can still be invincible for about seven minutes. It's best if they don't go overboard." There were a lot of starry things floating around my sister. Those were the crystal beads that she had just crushed. These crystal beads were gradually arranged into a regular formation. If you looked closely, you would notice that these floating crystal shards were almost identical to the enemy's formation shown on the radar. Obviously, my sister had once again used the powerful power that she had used once before. Last time, she had used a glass ball to destroy a star system. This time, as a god, she had become even more powerful. She would use these crystal shards to bring disaster to the Fallen Apostles' fleet.
"The enemy was caught off guard by the rebounding firepower. Their formation is a little chaotic," Xiaoxue said calmly. "Strange … they fell into chaos so easily. This doesn't seem like the military discipline of the Shiring Apostles. Besides, they should have dropped some warp disruptors just now. Those things are far more threatening to the fleets that are jumping into the world than the cannons … Is Halland a stupid emperor who doesn't even know such common sense?"
I glanced at Xiaoxue and remembered what Visca had said.
It seemed that the child had only inherited half of her prophetic powers. She was also too young. Lin Xue must have seen something, but Xiaoxue was still clueless. "Fleet, organize a counterattack.
Tell the servant army not to stray too far away from the main formation. Their invincibility has a time limit. "I shook my head and quickly ordered Sives who was on the commander's seat. At the same time, I quickly connected to Sandora's spiritual link." Sandora, we have entered the battlefield. We are now in Zone E-77-15 of the star map. We are fighting with the help of my sister's curse power. We will meet up with you as soon as possible and destroy as many enemies as we can along the way. You are right. The Fallen Apostles are not in the right state. Their military discipline is the same as a normal race.
Their formation was almost messed up just now. "Sandora's voice immediately sounded." Very good. I will continue to give you guidance. Be careful of the enemy's self-destructing fleet that suddenly warps over. They have flooded a small ancient star system with their numbers and set up a warp accelerator there. I am trying to send troops to destroy it, but it will be difficult in a short period of time. The Fallen Apostles are indeed not in the best state, but don't forget — their numbers. "
Numbers …
I looked at the briefing of the fleet's situation on the officer's platform. Numbers … This was indeed a huge problem.
