Warlords: I just made a little fortune, but I didn’t build a country.

The darkness of deep space was torn apart by the blood-red alarm. Guo Dahai's pupils reflected the wildly jumping energy curve on the tactical screen, analyzing the combat index of the Novak fleet.

The voice of Solenx, the vanguard commander of the Novak tribe, came through the quantum entanglement communication, with a metallic sneer:

"The Qinwu Empire's weapons are indeed impressive, but they still don't understand that true power lies in the control of the laws of the universe."

Before he finished speaking, the 5000 million ton Novak starship suddenly twisted and deformed, and the liquid metal lines on the surface of the ship surged like a living thing, expanding into a ring structure with a diameter of more than dozens of miles.

The priest array behind Solenx raised its crystal tentacles synchronously, and the purple energy vortex at the core of the starship suddenly expanded, forming a continuously rotating "star core matrix".

&34;Start Dimension Anchor!&34;

Solenx's command caused the entire star region's spacetime to tremble. Nine "Ringblade Arbiter" flagships simultaneously unleashed dark matter cutting nets. These purple light nets, woven from quantum strings, shredded even starlight into twisted fragments wherever they passed.

What's even more terrifying is that the Novak clan's conventional warship fleet suddenly split and reorganized into countless diamond-shaped combat units, each of which can independently launch micro-quantum bombs.

Guo Dahai's knuckles were clenched white, and the early warning system on the tactical screen emitted a shrill scream. He suddenly gave an order.

"Activate Pangu-34's black hole projector! All ships activate the 'Dragon Spine' energy matrix!"

With a low roar, the belly of Pangu-1's aerospace fortress slowly split open, revealing an energy launch port three kilometers in diameter. The moment the medium-sized black hole projector activated, space seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand. A black hole the size of a ping-pong ball hovered in the launch port, and the surrounding light twisted in a spiral.

"Launch!"

The black hole projector spewed out a dark energy beam, and wherever it passed, the dark matter cutting network of the Novak people collapsed like a burning spider web.

But Solenks was prepared. The Novak flagship's star core matrix erupted with a blinding purple light, and a circular shockwave of antimatter energy spread out, neutralizing the black hole's energy beam a hundred kilometers from the ship. The violent energy collision caused space to collapse, forming dozens of fleeting microscopic wormholes.

&34;Activate the World-Destroying Light Spear!&34;

As Guo Dahai issued his order, the main gun arrays of the nine aerospace fortresses slowly rose. Golden quantum lines flowed across the surface of these barrels, and each barrel was a kilometer long.

When the energy was fully charged, nine black beams shot out simultaneously. This was the Qinwu Empire's strategic weapon, the World-Destroying Light Spear. The beams contained the energy of quark recombination, which could ignore conventional shields and directly affect the core of matter.

Solenx's pupils contracted, and the priest array behind him urgently constructed an energy dome.

The moment the annihilation spears struck the dome, the energy released was like a supernova, instantly vaporizing the surrounding meteorites. However, the Novak defenses were not without effect. The energy dome's quantum entanglement properties redirected some of the attacking energy in other directions. One of the spears veered off course and struck a Novak escort space warship, instantly reducing it to subatomic dust.

The Novaks' counterattack became even more ferocious. The dimensional anchor at the starship's core finally completed charging, and the space-time of the entire star region began to distort.

Guo Dahai was horrified to find that there was a delay in the communication of his own fleet and the aiming systems of all weapons were jumping wildly.

Solenks took the opportunity to launch a fatal attack - the starship's core matrix released a purple "entropy ray", an energy beam that could accelerate the decay of matter, instantly corroding the three space frigates of the Qinwu Empire into rusted wreckage.

&34;Start the time and space backtracking system!&34;

Guo Dahai gritted his teeth and gave the order. Pangu-1 Aerospace Fortress activated its most secret weapon—the spacetime field generator.

With the fortress as the center, time and space within a radius of 34 kilometers were forcibly distorted, and the attack trajectory of the Novak tribe showed a strange deviation. Even more shocking was that the Qinwu Empire's drone mothership group suddenly released tens of thousands of "anti-entropy drones".

These small aircraft carried antimatter annihilation devices and exploded in the Novak fleet. The resulting energy storm brought the quantum shields of some Novak warships to the brink of collapse.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Solenks decisively activated the Novak clan's last trump card - the "Star Abyss Fission" system.

The flagship's hull began to disintegrate and reassemble, transforming into a massive energy vortex, materializing the surrounding dark matter energy into physical weapons. Countless purple energy arrows shot out from the vortex, each one containing the power to destroy a planet.

Guo Dahai commanded nine aerospace fortresses to form the "Nine Star Array", which formed a huge golden protective shield through quantum resonance and barely withstood this wave of attacks.

The crystal tentacles of the Novak priests burst out with dazzling purple light, like millions of energy arrows pointing straight to the sky.

They chanted forbidden spells in the ancient language of the stars, weaving a scarlet energy matrix in the void. The starship core behind Solenx began to pulse violently, and the entire fleet's energy reserves poured into the resonance device like a tide. Space rippled under this terrifying force, as if it was about to be completely torn apart.

This is one of the most powerful attack capabilities of the Novak clan at present, a "stellar core resonance" attack that is powerful enough to tear apart a galaxy.

Guo Dahai stared at the danger warning that was jumping wildly on the tactical screen, his nails digging deep into his palms.

"All warships, energy overload operation! Prioritize the recharging of Pangu No. 34!"

His voice echoed through quantum communication across every Qinwu warship. The engines of hundreds of space warships emitted a dazzling blue light, and overloaded energy pipelines bulged on the hulls like bulging veins. The hatches of the drone motherships opened, and tens of thousands of drones formed an energy transmission chain, continuously injecting their own energy into Pangu No. 1.

The giant launch port of the Pangu-1 aerospace fortress began to twist and deform, and the black hole projector with a diameter of three kilometers burst out with a faint blue light.

As Guo Dahai pressed the launch button, a black beam of light, condensed with the gravitational force of a star, tore through the void, devouring even the starlight in its path into strange vortexes. Meanwhile, on the Novak side, the priests' chanting reached a climax, and a purple beam of "stellar core resonance" descended like the final judgment, containing enough antimatter energy to vaporize a planet.

Two devastating torrents of energy collided with a bang, sending space millions of kilometers in a frenzy. The shockwaves from the collision of energies created countless miniature supernovae, which burst into fleeting, dazzling bursts of light in the dark universe.

The space-time structure was like cloth torn by a giant hand, with hideous cracks appearing one after another. Dark purple energy flows seeped out of these cracks, and wherever it touched, matter began to decompose and reorganize in strange forms.

A mid-sized Norvak flagship, unable to dodge, grazed a space-time rift. The metal armor twisted into a quantum state the moment it made contact, and the entire ship, as if being gnawed by invisible giant teeth, disintegrated from bow to stern into a stream of shimmering particles.

Solenx's pupils contracted violently. He urgently mobilized the remaining Ring Blade Arbiter flagships and released a joint shield. The purple energy dome continued to twist and deform under the erosion of the cracks.

The alarm on Guo Dahai's tactical screen was deafening, and he decisively ordered: "UAV swarm activates 'Skynet' mode!"

Tens of thousands of drones formed a spherical energy shield at an astonishing speed. The muzzle of each drone ejected golden energy beams, which intertwined into an impenetrable protective net.

At the same time, the "Dragon Spine" shields of the nine aerospace fortresses were upgraded to maximum power, and golden energy ripples continued to spread across the surface, resisting the erosion of the space-time rift.

However, the aftermath of this energy clash was far more devastating than anyone could have imagined. More cracks in space and time began to spread, like a wound in the universe that was widening.

The quantum shields of the Novak fleet shattered under the tearing of the cracks, and the Qinwu Empire's energy shield also suffered multiple damages. Guo Dahai looked at the declining shield energy value, and a glint of determination flashed in his eyes: "All warships, prepare for energy reorganization! Even if it takes every last bit of energy, we must hold the line!"

Solenks' flagship shook violently under the impact of the crack. Looking at the approaching space-time crack, he finally realized that this battle had gone beyond his expectations.

&34;Emergency jump initiated!&34;

He gritted his teeth and gave the order, but it was too late. A space crack appeared and the emergency jump could not be initiated for the time being.

"Damn it!"

If we can't initiate an emergency jump, then we can only endure the space tear caused by the explosion.

"boom!"

The aftermath of the energy explosion was like the gasp of a dying beast, raging in the starry space for a full quarter of an hour.

When the distorted space and time finally returned to calm, dense wreckage of ships floated in the void, and dull metal fragments slowly rotated in the cold and silent universe.

The purple shield of the Novak people had long been riddled with holes, and the eleven space warships had turned into scrap metal emitting weak electric currents, with the hulls covered with jagged wounds torn by cracks in space and time.

Guo Dahai's strategic energy shield was also in ruins, but fortunately no heavy losses were caused.

But when he saw the drone-based "Skynet" energy shield still struggling to maintain its shape, a fierce glint ignited in his eyes. The shattered drones struggled to reassemble in the aftermath of the explosion, their metal frames entwined with crackling arcs of energy, and half of their weapons systems completely disabled.

"All drones, execute the 'burn to extinction' command!"

Guo Dahai's voice trembled with determination. On the quantum communication channel, the core AIs of thirty thousand drones simultaneously lit up a glaring red light. These iron warriors, who once darted across the battlefield like silver snakes, now dragged their broken bodies and rushed towards the Novak fleet like arrows from a bow.

Their energy chambers were overloaded, and their hulls began to seep unstable antimatter fluid.

Hundreds of drones exploded below the Novak fleet, and the spherical plasma formed instantly severely injured a frigate.

Then, hundreds of explosions erupted like dazzling fireworks of death, their roars shaking Solunks's command cabin violently. The purple ship's shields rippled under the intense energy onslaught, like the surface of a lake shattered by a stone.

&34;Activate the air defense system!&34;

Solenx's crystal tentacles vibrated violently, and purple energy gushed out from every gap in the Novak warship.

Tens of thousands of prismatic energy barriers suddenly rose from the perimeter of the fleet. These shields, woven from quantum force fields, glowed with a blinding purple light the moment they came into contact with the blast wave. However, many drones still managed to break through the defenses, colliding directly with the hulls and melting huge dents into the thick armor.

Guo Dahai stared at the tactical console, watching the dwindling number of drone icons on the screen. By the time the last drone had crumbled into cosmic dust, the Novak fleet's formation had been thrown into disarray. Three battleships were engulfed in flames, their hulls slick with molten metal, and seven space frigates were reduced to space debris.

Solenx's eyes swept across the devastated fleet, and his tentacles suddenly made a sharp buzzing sound.

He knew very well that the battle was far from over, and Guo Dahai was staring at the enemy flagship through the thick smoke, waiting for the opportunity to deliver the next fatal blow.

"Fight back!"

The Oriental Space Fleet, which was supposed to evacuate when the battle was at a stalemate, turned around at this moment, trying to take advantage of the Qinwu Fleet's injuries to reap some rewards.

"The little devils dare to come here and make trouble?"

Guo Dahai quickly issued a counterattack order, the tactical platform flashed red, and the Daqin No. 1 flagship turned its gun barrel at the same time.

The ship-borne positron cannon was the first to emit a deafening roar, and a blue-white torrent of energy tore through the void, instantly vaporizing the meteorites wherever it passed.

The "Thor's Hammer" electromagnetic railgun followed closely behind, and the tungsten alloy projectiles cut through the darkness at 34 times the speed of light, creating spider-web-like cracks on the shields of the Oriental Fleet.

The world-destroying light spear of the Zhulong Sky Fortress slowly rose, and nine black beams of light, like the scythe of the god of death, accurately locked onto the energy core of the Oriental flagship.

"boom!"

The "World-Destroying Light Spear" instantly cut the space fortress equipped by the Oriental fleet into two halves, and then minced it. The hundreds of thousands of Oriental soldiers inside turned into star nutrients.

"withdraw!"

I wanted to show off, but I didn't expect that before the counterattack was successful, the Qinwu Empire destroyed a core fleet, the Yamato-class space fortress!

"Damn it!"

The Novak fleet, which was composed of seven Daluo mecha fleets and the Hunyuan Sage Mecha, had already attacked the other side.

A thousand-meter-tall humanoid mecha, using space-jumping technology, holding an extremely sharp space-cutting long knife in one hand and a black hole projector in the other, came directly to the Novak fleet and fired a shot at a "Ring Blade Arbitrator" flagship, which was instantly torn apart by the black hole!

Guo Dahai dispatched three such Hunyuan Saint Mechas, which were killing everyone in the Novak tribe. With their special space jumping skills and powerful maneuverability, they killed the Novak tribe and made them bleed like a river.

At the same time, Pangu Aerospace Fortress was also accumulating energy, preparing to launch a final attack on the Novak fleet.
