Captain, your ship has exploded again.

Nearly a thousand alien fleets appeared outside Mars' orbit, with all warships having a minimum size of ten kilometers.

They did not launch an attack immediately upon their appearance, entirely due to the deterrent effect of the black hole bomb.

With enough resources and proper tech progression, all civilizations will eventually possess powerful ships and cannons. However, higher-level energy applications are not something that just anyone can develop.

It may seem like just a gravitational collapse technology, but simply maintaining the state of matter in an electronically degenerate state has already given many civilizations a headache. This is not something that a single supercomputer can solve; it also requires extremely advanced materials science and high-energy physics.

Every space-destroying weapon is the culmination of a civilization's technology, and no civilization would want to test the destructive power of these weapons.

On a super-large warship in the enemy fleet that was rushing in, various arguments were taking place.

Should we still attempt an attack?

"No, they destroyed our slaves. Without Cybertron, we must find a new parasitic planet."

"On the blue planet ahead, there are many carbon-based life forms, and they are just there to polish and wax us."

"Damn it, it's poisonous there. The planet is full of oxygen. I hate damp, poisonous planets."

"Shut up! You bunch of parasitic programs, I just said, do you want to continue the attack? The enemy's technology is far beyond what we expected."

"Do we have any other choice? Especially after accepting the Walker's terms."

"Yes! We want to destroy Earth, they want to restart the solar system, and we can rely on them to create a new star system, a silicon-based star system that belongs to us."

Despite the apparent large number of people arguing, there were actually not many people at the meeting. The Five-Faced Monsters were called Five-Faced Monsters because they had five faces and each had its own independent consciousness.

At that moment, a thin figure appeared.

"I've discovered that they're not from the Blue Star civilization. We can intimidate them. After all, in this cruel galaxy, even a lone beast will avoid getting hurt."

If Zhang Xun and the others were there, they would definitely recognize this figure: Quintessa impersonating the Quintesson of Primus's dark side in Transformers 5.

"That's impossible, they possess the Black..."

While they were arguing, the newly formed black hole was rapidly collapsing. Normally, black holes are invisible because light cannot escape and therefore there is no possibility of direct observation. However, the outermost 'event horizon' of a black hole contains a large amount of captured light, which is why it can be discovered.

The shrinking of the 'event horizon' only means that the black hole is unstable. This cannot be blamed on Zhao Wanyang. After all, any weapon needs to be tested multiple times. However, when experimental weapons are used directly in actual combat, no one can achieve 100% complete control over the result.

As the space obscured by the black hole was revealed, what appeared before our eyes was not what we expected—two or one neutron compression blocks. Although the black hole successfully compressed neutron star matter (for a short time), the Cosmic Emperor and the Primordial Lord still survived.

"Damn! These two lousy things, are they made of supersonic matter? Getting so close to a black hole, and you only have to pay a small price..."

The Cosmic Emperor and the Primordial Celestial were both swallowed by the black hole, with ninety percent of their body parts being sucked away. The Cosmic Emperor lost an arm and a small part of his body, while the Primordial Celestial lost two legs. Even though the two super-mutants were in a sorry state, their power was undeniable.

However, before Zhao Wanyang could finish her rant, the neutron star material began to disintegrate.

The reaction was extremely fast, but due to the abnormal gravity over there, it felt like it was taking a very long time.

Everyone present witnessed firsthand what it means for destruction to happen right before their eyes. It destroys everything in front of you, yet it seems to have nothing to do with you. Even if you see it very clearly, you are completely powerless to save yourself.

Under bright light, the neutron star's matter slowly breaks apart, revealing the fragments inside and the irregular, jagged shapes that would irritate someone with OCD. Then, the matter slowly expands, like watching a dandelion, slowly and quickly unfolding from a small point before dissipating with the wind.

In the instant the matter dissipated, an extreme brightness appeared in the solar system, at which point even the stars seemed to have their brilliance stolen by this tiny piece of matter.

A high-speed impact spread throughout the entire solar system, instantly covering the entire system. It was as if billions of kilometers were the same distance as tens of meters, and the matter did not need to travel through time to reach all places in an instant.

Zhang Xun, who was still connected to the energy of recollection, felt it most clearly, as if those flying particles were passing through his brain right in front of him.

However, while his mind was able to process what was happening, the 'plate' supporting his head didn't even have a chance to make a sound before the matter was over.

All equipment on the Death Star instantly shut down, even the emergency lights failed to turn on. All technological equipment, even those with optical circuitry, were affected. This comprehensive failure directly triggered the chemical lighting system.

A colossal object with a diameter of 200 kilometers and a mass of trillions of tons was thrown directly into a vibrating screen.

Everyone was like an infant, completely powerless to resist, tossed high into the air and crashed down. Even though they were all enhanced humans, the command room was filled with groans and screams.

"Holy crap, my back! Whose hand is that? That's my little brother, not a handrail! It's fragile!"

Wang Ge groaned as he got up and roughly pushed Marcus off him. However, he didn't see a small hand quickly move away from where his second brother was, and the source was Sun Hui, who was standing next to him.

"No, no, no! My spine is misaligned, it hurts! I can't move, don't push me!"

Natal also awkwardly looked up from the captain's chair. She wanted to rub her bruised forehead with her hand, but the sensation on her head was strange. When she looked closely, she saw that three of her fingers were stuck in the three holes in Zhang Xun's head.

Zhang Xun said softly, "I have such a great reputation, and even with only one head left, my role is so important, yet I can't escape the fate of being used as a bowling ball."

Zhang Xun also understood that this couldn't be entirely blamed on Natal. Under such an instantaneous attack, it was already a remarkable achievement that Natal was able to subconsciously grab him and prevent him from becoming a marble and crashing around the command room. Even if it hurt his nostrils, what could his wife say?

Natal quickly pressed Zhang Xun's head into her buffer zone with her hands, composed herself, and shouted at the captain's console.

"Tianwen, report on the extent of the damage!"

As for why she didn't operate it by hand, it was mainly because the control panel wasn't lit up, so there was no possibility of controlling it.

"Don't waste your energy. Tianwen is offline, which means the entire Death Star is offline. If the equipment is not damaged, it will take some time for the system to restart automatically."

Zhao Wanyang rubbed her shoulder, which had been injured by the back assist device. This made her determined to study the nano-assistive arm device, even if it was not very stable, she did not want to experience this pain again.

Wang Ge pulled Sun Hui up and said, "Damn, Zhao Wanyang, is this what you meant by leaving at most a trace on Mars? The Death Star is such a huge fortress warship, all its equipment could be taken offline by you. I suspect this thing probably wiped out the battleship fleet."

If the shutdown of the Death Star equipment was still within acceptable limits, then the annihilation of the fleet was unacceptable.

It's not that Zhang Xun can't afford to lose this amount of supplies, but there are two other captains on the fleet. If something happens to them, the losses for Zhang Xun's team will be huge.

"This situation is impossible. The fleet was already behind the Death Star before the expansion of neutron matter. They survived the Death Star, so it's even less likely that anything will happen to them."

Zhao Wanyang's words seemed to be explaining to Wang Ge, but also seemed to be comforting herself. The damage caused by the rapid expansion of the compressed matter in the black hole far exceeded her expectations. After all, no one had ever actually observed the destruction of a black hole, and many of the parameters here were collected by civilizations in the mission universe.

She originally expected that even if it were stronger, the intensity of the material jet should be within a controllable range, provided that the mass of the collapsed material was reduced.

With Tianwen successfully restarted, all devices are now undergoing self-testing and going online one by one.

Even with multiple defenses deployed on the Death Star, a scar that almost severed half of it still appeared near its equator.

The equator, originally the weakest point in the Death Star's design, has been replaced thanks to Zhang Xun's extensive modifications. However, its overall strength is still inferior to other areas. If the attack were stronger, the Death Star might have become two separate entities.

"The communication system is damaged, and some of the external observation equipment is also damaged. Repairs will take time!"

"The enemy fleet also suffered a devastating blow; the number of casualties is unknown!"

As messages reached Natal's ears, she didn't have time to pay attention to the enemy's situation and immediately shouted, "Where's the fleet?!"

Yu Qilan turned her head and said, "Battleship wreckage discovered!"

These words instantly made everyone's hearts jump, and when they saw the warship's hull number, everyone felt a pang of pain in their hearts.

Those were the battleship hull numbers of Shen Yuexin and Li Zhuoyang.
