In the dark cosmic ocean current, a first-class starship of the Zilun Empire was moving forward along the ocean current.
"Commander, we will arrive at Jerez in five minutes!"
"Got it, get ready according to the plan!"
"Yes, Commander!"
At this moment, Carlos's mood was very complicated.
He was prepared to destroy the evil civilization known as the Humans, but before he left, Marshal Ares had given him a mission to complete.
After arriving at Jerez, he had to do everything he could to contact the humans. His Majesty Latis would talk to the humans to seek cooperation!
Furthermore, in order to prevent them from being directly destroyed by the defenders before they could establish contact with the humans after arriving at Jerez, Marshal Ares even sent out a total of twenty-four warships, including himself, at the speed of one warship per hour to set off ahead of the fleet.
'Aren't we going to destroy that evil human civilization in exchange for peace in the universe?
How did it become seeking cooperation? '
'And …'
'I'm the first one to set off among the twenty-four warships!'
'In other words, the probability of my warship being destroyed by the human defenders is much higher than the other twenty-three warships!'
'Death …' Carlos was not afraid. He had been brainwashed by the Empire all year round. As long as it was for the Empire, his life was nothing.
However, he wasn't willing to die in such a baffling manner.
'But an order is an order, and I have to carry it out. Now, I can only pray that this evil human can be a little more civilized and not open fire without saying anything!'
'Otherwise …'
'Then my death will be meaningless!'
Just as Carlos's thoughts were running wild, five minutes had quietly passed.
"About to exit the cosmic ocean current, start the countdown!"
...
"3 … 2 … 1 … Exit the ocean current!"
Although the universe was pitch-black, compared to the ocean current, in normal space, as long as it was not in the starless zone, there would still be some faint brightness from the stars, and it would not be so dark that one would not be able to see their fingers in front of them.
As a faint light appeared outside the porthole, the warship had exited the ocean current and arrived in normal space.
"Commander, a large number of warships have been discovered. There are at least fifty billion of them. With the ocean current as the center, several lines of defense have been set up!"
"Commander, the scan shows that in the few fleets closest to us, all the warships' weapons have been charged, and all of them are dark energy weapons!"
"Commander …"
Just a few seconds after they emerged from the ocean current, the bridge was already reporting one after another.
This immediately gave Carlos a fright.
Tens of billions of battleships had been charged with weapons, and all of them were dark energy weapons that could pose a threat to him.
As long as the other party opened fire, he would definitely turn into cosmic dust!
No, I can't die in such a meaningless way!
"Quick, try to establish contact with them through dark energy communication. Tell them that we have no intention of fighting!"
"Yes, Commander!"
It wasn't just Carlos who was panicking. Everyone on the ship was panicking.
The deputy immediately followed Carlos's orders and began to send messages to the other party through various methods …
-----
Jerez Defense Zone, the first line of defense.
Luoshen, inside the bridge.
"Deputy Commander, the target has been confirmed. Number one. According to the scan, it is at least a Tier 9 technological civilization battleship!"
"However, based on the style of its battleship, this battleship does not belong to the two level-9 civilizations that invaded Jerez. Its style is completely different!"
Lin Kexin, who originally thought that it was the Seras Empire, the Salamo Republic, or the Purgatory Biological Civilization, was also a little surprised.
This Nerkeia Supercluster was really strange. One moment, it was a biological civilization army, the next moment, it was a fleet of a Tier 9 technological civilization, and now there was a new one, and it was at least a Tier 9 technological civilization.
The coexistence of a biological civilization and a technological civilization was already strange enough. Could it be that there were multiple civilizations above Tier 9 coexisting in Nerkeia?
This situation did not make sense at all!
Just as Lin Kexin thought, under normal logic, it was impossible for multiple civilizations above Tier 9 to coexist in a Supercluster.
After all, as long as it was a cosmic civilization, there was no one who did not want to expand. Something like the Holy Mother had never existed in the universe.
Then, there was a problem. It was still reasonable for civilizations below Grade 7 to coexist in a Super Star Cluster. After all, a Grade 7 civilization only had the ability to colonize an entire Super Star Cluster, and this ability was still very weak.
However, after reaching the Tier 8 realm, colonizing a supercluster was a simple matter.
Therefore, when a Tier 8 civilization appeared in a Supercluster, this civilization would inevitably quickly unify the entire Supercluster. It was impossible for multiple high-level civilizations to coexist.
Of course, there was an extremely small probability exception here, and that was if two civilizations advanced to Tier 8 at almost the same time.
Well, even if you really encountered such an exception, and it was a super accident where several civilizations advanced to Tier 8 at the same time, it couldn't be that several civilizations advanced to Tier 9 at the same time, right?
As for the coexistence of technological civilizations and biological civilizations, that was even more strange …
There was no problem with Lin Kexin's logic, but there was actually another possibility here. There was an even more powerful existence over there that ruled the entire Nerkeia Supercluster, allowing the civilizations inside to maintain a state of coexistence.
And back then …
That was what Faern did.
That was why the Nerkenia Supercluster had so many technological civilizations of Tier 8 and above, and they were able to coexist harmoniously.
And after Faern was dragged into the zero-dimensional space by Lin Hong, Garen took over his inheritance …
That was why the situation had been maintained until now.
Just like the subsidiary civilizations of mankind, there were now several Tier 7 subsidiary civilizations under the command of mankind. They were also under the command of mankind. Even if they were in the same Supercluster, they were still in a state of harmony.
"Order the fleet, don't fire first, but if the other party makes any hostile moves, immediately fire and destroy it!"
"Yes, Deputy Commander!"
"Deputy Commander, in the dark energy communication network, we received a message from the other party!"
Just after Lin Kexin gave the order, the chief communications officer's report suddenly came from the command team.
This made Lin Kexin a little surprised. After all, this was what she was going to do. The only difference was that the message she was going to send was a message to persuade them to surrender.
"What's the content of the other party's message?"
"Our ship belongs to the Seventh Army of the Third Column of the First Super Attack Group of the Zilun Empire. We have no intention of fighting with you here. Please do not attack. At the same time, we hope to establish a communication channel with you!"
