Five Frozen Centuries Chapter 371 - The Hyperdrive Engine Cannot Be Started

Chapter 371: The Hyperdrive Engine Cannot Be Started

All the level-four civilizations knew that a war was about to begin. Their commander said loudly, “For the freedom of our race, we have to fight even if we have to face God!”
However, these were just dignified words. They were not doing this for freedom or dignity. They were doing this for their own power and status. For this power and status, they could send hundreds of millions of their clansmen to their deaths. They could even give up their lives.
That was the meaning of their lives. If they lost the supreme status that they had obtained with great difficulty, they might as well die.
That was how rulers were. Losing everything was worse than death in their opinion.
However, what happened next was the most terrifying thing they had ever witnessed.
The battleship disappeared…
The Death wave was even more terrifying than the wave of death of the Holy Domain civilization. The wave of death took away one’s life, but the Death wave could devour everything.
“Attack! Attack immediately! Titan battleship, maximum power!”
Countless battleships immediately attacked the three terrestrial planets of the Multi-Eyed Race. The Titan battleships of all the level-four civilizations also launched their strongest divine attacks against the three terrestrial planets.
Countless attacks, bullets, and laser beams lit up the pitch-black galaxy.
However, it was useless. No matter what kind of attack they launched, the three terrestrial planets inhabited by the Multi-Eyed Race, the mechanical race, and the Trileaf Pirates were not damaged at all.
On the other hand, as the devouring wave spread, the battleships disappeared one after another.
Then, all the living creatures in the galaxy heard a clear crack in their hearts.
Everyone was terrified. What was that sound?
A moment later, they understood what had happened. The scorching planet closest to the star suddenly cooled down. Then, an extremely dazzling light gradually appeared on the planet.
Terrifying Death waves spread out. In the face of this Rule-level devouring power, ordinary battleships could not resist at all. In this galaxy, only Titan battleships could barely resist the Devouring Rule, but they could not resist forever.
The supreme commanders of the various level-four civilizations were all sitting in the Titan battleship. They thought that this was the safest place, but as their Godhood Energy decreased like crazy, they all panicked.
“It’s God… It’s God!”
Many level-four civilizations panicked. They knew that only God could do this. God was omnipotent. God was at a peak that humans could never reach!
Just as the battleship soldiers besieging the Multi-Eyed Star System started panicking, the supreme commander of the Titan battleship sent a message to all the soldiers. “God is not invincible. Our Titan was made of a god’s corpse. This means that God can be killed. Don’t be afraid. As long as we unite and don’t fear God, we can even kill God!”
Every supreme commander of a level-four civilization was an extremely charismatic ruler. People in their position seemed to have magic power in their words and actions, especially when it came to the soldiers who had been brainwashed by them all year round.
As long as these people gave the order, the worry and fear in the hearts of the soldiers would disappear. Besides, the supreme ruler was right beside them. This was like an ancient expedition. Even the ruler was fighting with them. What was there to be afraid of?
People who were in the position of the highest ruler were not kind. They knew how to make use of the hearts of these soldiers. They said, “For the eternal peace of our Star Field, we will kill God even if we have to give up our lives!”
The commander’s words aroused the soldiers’ fighting spirit, but it was useless. If soldiers with fighting spirit could defeat God, then God would not be God.
The so-called difference between God and man was just like the difference between a director and a movie character. With a word from the director, the movie character would die or get revived. The life and death of the movie character depended on the director’s will.
Hence, although the soldiers were motivated and had forgotten their fear due to their bravery, this only made them send themselves to death faster.
When the rulers of the various level-four civilizations saw this, they ordered the Titan battleships to retreat. They were not planning to escape. They were planning to attack in another way.
The emperor said, “Throwing numbers at them won’t do anymore. Let’s switch to Plan B.”
The high official said, “The Star Destroyer Cannon of our civilization is ready. Everyone, activate it by following the commands.”
The alliance leader of the Intergalactic Alliance said, “The only way is to destroy the star. If this can’t kill God, we have no other way to do it.”
The emperor said, “The plan begins!”
A large number of battleships started retreating. However, at that moment, all the living creatures in the galaxy heard the sound of a vortex.
Soon, all the commanders of level-four civilizations saw a peculiar but beautiful Titan battleship. This Titan was not huge, but it had two colors. One was black, and the other was white. The two parts revolved around the center slowly. Its surface was extremely smooth, and it looked like two huge pieces of black jade and white jade.
However, everyone knew that it was a Titan battleship because it was constantly emitting the light of godhood.
The moment the black-and-white Titan appeared, all the commanders of the level-four civilizations had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, a moment later, countless battleships that had begun retreating out of the Multi-Eyed Star System started coming back. Even the Titan battleship did the same. Without a doubt, they had aimed the main part of the battleships outside the Star System and their thrusters had achieved maximum effect. However, their battleships violated the laws of physics and made a move to retreat.
The supreme commander of the level-four civilizations asked, “What’s going on? Why are we retreating?”
Scientists from various races were busy. They had studied technology for so many years, but they had never heard of a spacecraft being sucked and pulled back. The only explanation was gravity, but they had not detected any gravitational waves.
Suddenly, a young scientist said, “It’s not gravity. This is space folding!”
All the scientists were enlightened. They were still moving forward. However, space had folded, so they looked like they were retreating compared to the starlight outside the galaxy.
The supreme commander understood this and immediately said, “Start the hyperdrive engine immediately! We’ll jump out!”
Soon, all the battleship AIs sent a report. “The hyperdrive engine has failed!”
The supreme commanders were stunned. The hyperdrive engine, which had always been a powerful escape tool, had failed. What had gone wrong?
