Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones - Chapter 417: Gravitational Disrupting
Tom saw that some Star Beasts were still launching fierce assaults on their front lines, while others intentionally disengaged from the battlefield and performed intense maneuvers in the vast nebula. Their flight paths and targets seemed to have some inherent patterns, as if... they were actively setting up something.
Just some Star Beasts, what could they set up? Could it be some new type of battle formation?
Tom certainly didn’t believe in formations in the traditional sense, but cooperative battle formations that involved adjusting firepower, protective nets, and balancing the defense and offense of various combat units were indeed real.
Although Tom didn’t know what these Star Beasts were up to, it was clear that no matter what they wanted to do, he had to do his best to stop them.
Guided by this principle, Tom’s massive fleet immediately intensified its offensive, and the intensity of the battlefield instantly escalated.
But it seemed a little late.
Including those that gathered from outer space later, a total of over a million massive Star Beasts each occupied different locations around the planet, then simultaneously released energy into space. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
The next moment, Tom suddenly felt that the space where his fleet was located seemed to become "unstable."
If space were likened to an ocean, then before, this ocean was calm. But at this moment, a fierce wind picked up on the surface, stirring up huge waves.
Changes and fluctuations in the curvature of space itself manifested externally as unstable gravity. At this moment, varying levels of gravity, appearing and disappearing from all directions, swept in, pulling Tom’s warships so much that they couldn’t even navigate normally, like ships constantly rising and falling with the waves in a storm.
Some warships and spacecraft with weaker defenses were even instantly torn apart under these "turbulent waves," ending their lives in an explosion.
Only now did Tom fully understand that the desperate charges by those giant Star Beasts before were probably not truly intended to break through his defenses, but rather to buy time for this unknown tactic of causing gravity disruption by altering spatial curvature!
"What kind of tactic is this? Gravity disruption? This tactic doesn’t seem to be something that gravity-level entities can master!"
Gravity can change spatial curvature, and spatial curvature, in turn, can naturally affect gravity. Civilizations at the gravity stage indeed possess the theoretical possibility of mastering this tactic.
Thus, it didn’t seem to violate common sense for these Star Beasts to use this tactic. However, after a rough understanding of this method, Tom immediately realized that to launch this tactic, one first needed an extremely profound understanding of space.
It’s like the purification of certain chemical substances; if ancient people could master the methods, they indeed had the possibility of purifying them.
But the key lies in these methods. Because these methods can only be mastered when technology has developed to a certain height.
Now, these Star Beasts have mastered the gravity disruption tactic, just as ancient people mastered chemical purification technology. It can almost be confirmed that a higher-level entity must have "taught" this tactic to these Star Beasts!
That higher-level entity... is at least Dark Energy level, or even higher!
These Star Beasts are actually connected to Dark Energy, or even Space-level entities?
A sense of crisis suddenly flashed through Tom’s mind.
Should he leave the battlefield now and retreat?
No! He hadn’t yet fully understood the Moraise civilization, and if he retreated now, it would be almost impossible to have such good luck to encounter them again in the future.
Should he interrogate them on the spot, or even forcibly pack up and take this civilization away?
Also no! They were intensely hostile towards him, and he was facing the full siege of the Star Beast Disaster, so he couldn’t spare the effort to deal with them!
In that case, then...
Kill them to silence them!
Annihilate this Star Beast Disaster! Kill them all, so they can’t find their backstage supporters to accuse him.
Anyway, at this stage, with his strong intervention, the Star Beasts wandering throughout space were all gathering here. Besides the ice giant they considered their nest, Tom could no longer find any Star Beasts anywhere else in space.
Even if a few stragglers managed to escape, having lost their group, the time it would take for them to find a backer to accuse him would likely be greatly extended, which would buy him time to escape.
By then, he would simply leave, and the nebula is so vast; even the Destroyer Civilization couldn’t find him, so how could they hope to find him?!
This would both delay the possible time of retaliation against him and eliminate the threat of the Star Beasts, allowing him to free up his hands to deal with the Moraise civilization.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Tom’s mind in an instant, and he immediately made his final decision.
Then...
Universal Force Field!
This time, facing the precarious situation of his forces under the gravity disruption tactical attack, Tom finally brought out his true trump card.
Billions of Universal Force Field components were quickly deployed in the outer space, and hundreds of billions of reserve clones also woke up from their hibernation ships, quickly arriving at their control consoles.
With all preparations complete, Tom decisively issued the command.
In an instant, the battlefield, which was already chaotic due to changes in spatial curvature, became even more chaotic at this moment.
The bodies of those massive Star Beasts were instantly enveloped by the energy generated from their own matter being forcibly converted, as if bombs had detonated within them.
The explosions slowly subsided, and the spatial curvature gradually returned to calm, like an ocean after a storm, with clear skies following turbulent waves.
In a single instant, Tom killed over 700,000 of those more than one million massive Star Beasts!
The power of the Universal Force Field was finally validated in actual combat at this moment. The result greatly satisfied Tom.
