Chapter 477: Antimatter Domain
"Damn it!"
The sacrifice of the Information Battle Star has filled the entire Wandering Alliance with a mixture of grief and indignation.
Especially since the explosion of the Information Battle Star took place not far from them, their feelings were of extreme outrage.
They were also somewhat taken aback by the antimatter civilization's Antimolecule Starfleet's readiness to strike without hesitation, and the formidable power of their attack, which indicated that Lu Chen's earlier speculation about the Antimolecule Starfleet's caution was wrong; they seemed considerably stronger than the Wandering Alliance. However, whether right or wrong, it no longer matters. The Wandering Alliance would never abandon their comrades, and as long as the antimatter civilization is not stepping back, this war is inevitable.
Now, with the preemptive strike by the Antimolecule Starfleet, they have driven the Wandering Alliance and the antimatter civilization into an extreme opposition, fully igniting this war.
The Wandering Alliance, although aware that the antimatter civilization is a Level 5 Civilization and technologically superior, did not falter. Since the enemy declared war, the Alliance would answer that call to war without fear, not intimidated by the disparity in Civilization Levels. They have been through countless wars and have already forged a spirit of resilience, unity, and fearlessness amidst the flames of battle!
"All civilizations within the Wandering Alliance, every citizen of each civilization, you are all an essential part of the Wandering Alliance. We will never abandon any compatriot, but now an alien civilization is trying to force us to compromise and has destroyed one of our Information Battle Stars, leading to the heroic sacrifice of billions of lives. At this moment, this war has reached the point where it must be fought. However, this time, the alien enemy is unprecedentedly strong—a Level 5 Antimatter Civilization—putting us in an extremely dangerous situation, and this war will be tremendously hard. I hope everyone understands this well, and braces for mental preparedness, but I believe that as long as we stand united and fight bravely, we will overcome this crisis just as we have before, for our goal is the Cosmic Center!"
Before the start of the war, Lu Chen first boosted the morale of all members before issuing the formal order to commence their offensive.
With Lu Chen's command issued, all the Battle Stars of the Wandering Alliance spring into action, fearlessly charging forth in groups of three-Star squads towards the antimatter civilization's Antimolecule Starfleet. Seen from afar, the unified assault of the Wandering Alliance resembled a starlight sword, terrifying in its momentum!
In the midst of their advance, Battle Stars of the Wandering Alliance sequentially fired various Energy Weapons, including the Unified Energy Beam, Quark Decoherence, Absolute Zero Domain, Flow Base Disassembly, Information Shock, and others. Each Energy Weapon varied in color, and their simultaneous firing adorned the dark nebula with a layer of starlight neon—beautiful yet dangerous!
Bang bang bang!!
The differently colored Energy Weapons shot at incredible speeds towards the three hundred Battle Stars of the Antimolecule Starfleet. Each beam was at the highest Energy Level; the Wandering Alliance did not hold back, aiming to end the war in the shortest possible time. However, what the Wandering Alliance did not anticipate was that the thousands of Energy Weapons fired towards the Antimolecule Starfleet were completely blocked by the enemy's defense mechanisms—the beams appeared like colorful shooting stars entering a high-viscosity liquid, causing none of the expected destruction.
"How is this possible?"
Upon seeing this, Lu Chen was immediately shocked.
Beyond the shock, Lu Chen realized that the gap between the Wandering Alliance and the antimatter civilization might be even greater than imagined.
Before the war, the Alliance had already assessed that the gap between them and the antimatter civilization might be 0.3 to 0.5 levels. Even though this was already the maximum estimated value, it now seems insufficient—a gap far greater than a mere 0.5 levels may exist between the peak of a Level 4 Civilization and a Level 5 Civilization.
Because, based on the firepower just now, what was wielded was a collection of the strongest and fiercest weapons of the Wandering Alliance, weapons no ordinary Level 4 Civilization could withstand, and even their own shields would not be able to block, only to intercept or evade. Yet the Antimolecule Starfleet seemed to have effortlessly resisted, proving that a Level 5 Civilization is truly among the universe's top civilizations, with technological prowess beyond computation.
Faced with such a formidable enemy, Lu Chen knew that the firepower of the Wandering Alliance's Battle Stars was nowhere near enough, hence, Lu Chen decided to take action himself. He maneuvered the Wandering Star System from the left and fired a Crown Hole Beam; meanwhile, his Black Hole Avatar controlled the Black Hole Nebula from the right, preparing to initiate the second wave of assault with Gravity Gold Wave and other attacks alongside the Wandering Alliance.
It could be said that Lu Chen's reaction was incredibly swift; as soon as he realized that the firepower was insufficient, he took matters into his own hands.
However, the reaction of the antimatter civilization's Antimolecule Starfleet was even faster. After resisting the Wandering Alliance's first wave of attacks, one hundred of the Antimolecule Battle Stars from the rear launched a counterattack, not giving the Wandering Alliance the chance to organize a second offensive.
Boom Boom!
The hundred Battle Stars from the Antimolecule Starfleet split into two groups and cooperated using two types of ultra-large-range attack weapons.
The first weapon was a transparent membrane, similar in appearance to the Absolute Zero Domain, but its method of attack was entirely different. The Absolute Zero Domain expands in all directions simultaneously, while this alien weapon expanded in a directed fashion with a focal point, allowing the Antimolecule Battle Stars to control the direction and power of the attack, as though a Cosmic Emperor was blowing bubbles.
This weapon was one of the ultimate weapons of the antimatter civilization—the Antimatter Domain!
Although the Antimatter Domain looks and sounds similar to the Absolute Zero Domain, they are in fact two different levels of weaponry.
The Absolute Zero Domain deprives matter of its vibrational properties, forcing it to transition into different states to eliminate the target, which is still technology rooted at the string level; the Antimatter Domain, however, operates at the Information Sea level, where its purpose is to eject all information within the attack range through the Domain Membrane, forming an information-free domain. Once the most foundational layer of information is lost, the surface matter and life therein cease to exist. This effect is similar to the Information Shock, yet more advanced and sophisticated; it is not only aimed at material life but also at erasing the information of ordinary material particles, making it an advanced version of Information Shock.
Under the eerie and terrifying offense of the Antimatter Domain, any defense the Wandering Alliance had was useless. Many of the Battle Stars hit by the Antimatter Domain's membrane instantly had their matter and life information ejected, turning those stars into blank "corpses" devoid of past and future information.
