Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 745 - 731 Spire
"The Galactic Emperor has done it again," Bai Zhongqi noticed the anomaly with the fleet led by Yuan Sanlin Lushi and immediately realized it was the Galactic Emperor’s doing.
Zero, not quite understanding, said, "Whenever the Galactic Emperor takes action, he uses such means, transforming warships into other things with the primordial matter. Does he really think this will be of any use? The Chancellor has already seized a mechanical behemoth once. Besides, by so cruelly killing his subordinates like this, those from the Fallen Empire probably won’t continue to serve him well afterwards."
"They’re not exactly serving the Galactic Emperor wholeheartedly now. Those former members of the High Council are only messing around for their own interests, which has prevented the Galactic Emperor’s plans from coming to fruition. He must be angry with them. If they’re dead, they’re dead. The Galactic Emperor doesn’t really rely on these people."
Bai Zhongqi added, "The Galactic Emperor can also suppress the news from getting out. Those guys from the Prime Minister’s Office and Divine Generals Hall have no clue what’s really happening here."
"Your Majesty, shall we send out your Universe Titan to deal with those primordial matters of the Galactic Emperor?"
Bai Zhongqi was also a little troubled. He had basically understood the operational mechanism of the primordial matter. Using the Universe Titan, he could completely assimilate the Galactic Emperor’s primordial matter. However, it took him several months to assimilate an entire mechanical behemoth previously. Although the Galactic Emperor’s primordial matter was not as substantial as before, the problem was that these nascent primordial materials were located in different places. Bai Zhongqi could split his Universe Titan to deal with the restless primordial matter, but he was worried there might be a trap.
However, before Bai Zhongqi decided how to use the Universe Titan in response, he found that the speed of the primordial matter’s formation this time was extremely fast.
Thirty thousand Galactic Empire Warships rapidly converged, then shaped into a massive black Spire. This Spire was a peculiar collective entity; the base was a huge circle, but as it rose, its shape became hexagonal, and then from six points, it constricted upward into a tip. The entire Spire was pitch-black, but this blackness was very different from a simple color. Bai Zhongqi felt as if he could see a lively brilliance floating on the blackness, not like a simple metallic luster, but rather like the glow of life itself.
Bai Zhongqi was somewhat surprised. This did not look like a giant warship or a mechanical behemoth; it seemed to lack offensive capabilities. But Bai Zhongqi did not dare to take it lightly. He threw out a small cluster of primordial matter, which came into contact with the Spire.
"Huh?" Bai Zhongqi was startled because he found that his primordial matter had not managed to assimilate the Spire.
"Is it because the amount is too small?" Zero asked uncertainly.
"No, even if the amount was too small, I should have felt the tugging between two wills. But my primordial matter and the Supreme Command came up against a solid iceberg or like a clay ox entering the sea, without any change at all."
After thinking for a while, Bai Zhongqi suddenly realized, exclaiming, "Those Spires, they’ve turned into mother ships!"
Zero was also shocked, "Are you saying, like the mother ships of the Elder Race, they’ve fixed their physical properties?"
"Pretty much. In this case, my Supreme Command is useless," Bai Zhongqi said with a grave expression.
He gazed at the Spire from afar and said, "Now, the question is, what exactly are these things used for?"
As if to answer Bai Zhongqi’s question, a total of thirty-three Spires suddenly sprang into action. These Spires started to flicker like glow sticks, giving off the impression that an immense energy was preparing to surge forth.
Immediately after, the Spires that were trapped in the Spatial Seal emitted a colorless fluctuation, which, upon touching the barricaded space, liberated the previously sealed space instantaneously.
"Could it really have this kind of function? If that’s the case, then why didn’t they leave behind part of their Fleet and only use part of it to form Spires?"
Bai Zhongqi sighed and said, "The Galactic Emperor probably doesn’t care about his minions at all. Moreover, I don’t think this is the only function of these Spires."
Bai Zhongqi and Zero, Zang Xingyan, and the other Divine Generals were all waiting, even the two Divine Generals, Su Shuang and Suo Kexiao, who had narrowly escaped disaster, were waiting to see what would happen. However, after one hour, three hours, and even twelve hours later, the Spires were still without any movement— as if they didn’t exist at all— standing silently in the distance.
"Is that it?" Zero was somewhat puzzled, and Bai Zhongqi was, too.
Concerned that these Spires might pose a danger to the Iridium Star Fleet, Bai Zhongqi had the Fleet retreat a certain distance away, but not too far.
During the process, Bai Zhongqi had already organized the Fleet to bombard the Spires, whether with hyper-density cannon fire, using Super Fusion Fusion Bombs, or even employing Singularity Weapons, but the Spires remained completely unmoved, without even a mark forming on their surfaces.
Zang Xingyan found Bai Zhongqi at this time and said, "Chancellor, although we don’t know what else these Spires can do, at least we’re clear that they have destroyed all the Spatial Seals we established in the Great Star Zone of the Orion Arm, including the barriers at the nodes within our Seals. If the reinforcement Fleet of the Fallen Empire builds a Spire at the external node and breaks our Spatial Seal again, then the sacrifice of those hundreds of thousands of ships will have essentially paid off, and the continuous loss of blood in the Orion Arm’s Great Star Zone will be unavoidable."
"Right, dispatch part of the Fleet to the external node of the Orion Arm to establish a defense line. No matter what, we must block the Fallen Army from reaching the external node and building a Spire."
Zang Xingyan reminded, "If the enemy engages in warp jumps, then our defense will be especially difficult."
Bai Zhongqi said in a deep voice, "At all costs, we must guard the Spatial Seal at the external node. In addition, it’s time to also take the battle to the side of the Fallen Empire. There’s no reason for them to only fight on our side."
Observing those Spires that seemed never to have changed, he thought to himself, "No matter what the strategy is now, we need to first figure out what else these Spires are used for and what kind of risk they pose to us."
Just as Bai Zhongqi had begun to think he had regained the upper hand in this disaster of a war, he once again encountered a difficult problem, and his curiosity about the identity of the Galactic Emperor grew even stronger. What exactly was the connection between the Galactic Emperor and the Elder Race, and why could he create Spires so similar to the motherships of the Elder Race?
