Under Li Qingsong's close observation, the Mechanoid Scourge fleet moved once again.
At that moment, more battleships, large and small, left the space carrier berths, forming formations in the vast space and rushing towards the inner star system.
The size of their fleet was so vast that it stretched for tens of millions of kilometers. Countless contrails ignited simultaneously, their light completely illuminating an entire giant gas planet, and then that light reflected into Li Qingsong's observation equipment, appearing before him as bright as a star!
Even without looking at the contrails, just the starlight reflected by those battleships made it seem as if millions of stars had suddenly appeared in the sky, rushing towards Li Qingsong like unstoppable meteors.
At that moment, even Li Qingsong, who had reached the pinnacle of electroweak civilization and believed that he could not find an opponent of his level in the entire galaxy, felt a deep sense of awe.
It was like an ant facing an elephant, like a small insect facing an eagle!
Even Li Qingsong himself couldn't help but feel: "Using such a huge fleet to deal with me is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito..."
Li Qingsong knew that he absolutely could not withstand this.
Not only could he not withstand it now, but even if his fleet's size increased a hundredfold or a thousandfold, he still could not withstand such a large-scale strong nuclear-level fleet attack.
He might be able to use numbers and sacrifices to resist a small fleet of only tens of thousands of battleships, but that would be the limit.
And now, the increase in quantity had produced a qualitative change—the difference was that the qualitative change had occurred on their side, and there was no way he could resist it.
The space around a battleship is limited, which means that no matter how many attack methods he has, he can only deploy a portion of them at the same time in the same space. And this portion of attack power cannot even break through the defense against the opponent's battleship cluster.
In that case, the other party can rampage through his territory, and no matter how many battleships he has, he cannot stop them.
How can he fight this?
There's no way to fight!
Li Qingsong clearly realized this, and then, instead of feeling fear, Li Qingsong became excited.
That's what he wanted! He wanted them to mobilize all their forces and attack him with all their might so that he would have a chance!
At that moment, Li Qingsong not only did not retreat but instead pushed more combat power to the front line.
Inside the supercomputer mothership, information flashed again in the "Akainu" AI logic processing unit.
"The prey civilization has obviously strengthened its determination for a suicidal attack. Based on this, we must be more careful and not let valuable intelligent life die easily."
...
Under the strong nuclear civilization fleet's super-strong coordinated acceleration ability, two million battleships arrived outside Li Qingsong's defense circle in no time.
At this moment, the situation on the battlefield changed again.
But this change was not that the Mechanoid Scourge easily defeated Li Qingsong's fleet. Instead, Li Qingsong took the upper hand for a time!
This scene was so unbelievable that even Li Qingsong felt a little eye-opening.
Li Qingsong saw that in the vast battlefield, his own battleships, with lower combat power and fewer numbers, were almost "suppressing" the Mechanoid Scourge's battleships, pouring firepower on them like crazy.
The Mechanoid Scourge's battleships, with greater numbers and far superior combat power, were passively taking a beating, relying on their super-strong defense to withstand the attacks, almost only taking hits and not retaliating.
Even when they did retaliate, they only launched a few light shells and fired a few beams of lasers, and they would stop immediately if they did not achieve any results.
In the entire war situation, Li Qingsong had a great advantage.
But in the details, Li Qingsong noticed many strange things.
In this stage, very few of his own battleships were indeed destroyed, but...
During this period, the number of battleships whose thrusters were destroyed, causing them to lose power and become unable to move, whose scanning radars were destroyed, causing them to become blind and unable to perceive external conditions, and whose electromagnetic cannons were destroyed, causing them to be anxious but unable to launch any attacks, increased rapidly.
Perhaps in their eyes, these clones of his have become their wealth and already belong to them.
Killing these clones would not be a loss to him, but to them!
That's why they only attack weapons and not battleships!
In such a vast war involving as many as several million battleships, enduring endless artillery fire, but having to accurately only attack weapons and not battleships...
The difficulty of doing this is countless times higher than destroying him.
What kind of precise and superb coordination does this require? This can hardly be considered dancing in shackles; it can almost be considered walking a tightrope on a cliff of ten thousand feet.
But even if it's walking a tightrope, this Mechanoid Scourge has almost done it.
At least the situation at this moment is rapidly tilting towards the side they hope for.
The power of the Mechanoid Scourge fleet was once again truly presented before Li Qingsong.
"Want to capture me alive? Good."
A cold smile appeared on the corner of Li Qingsong's mouth, and he issued an order again with a hint of madness.
All battleships that still have maneuvering capabilities, retreat! Retreat closer to the Pegasus V432 star, retreat closer to that planet, and gather there!
Inside the supercomputer mothership, information flashed again in the Akainu AI's logic processing unit.
"The prey civilization is beginning to gather at the main base, suspected of preparing for a final resistance.
It should be noted that we must avoid large-scale suicide and self-destruction by the opponent, which will lead to significant losses on our side.
If necessary, we can directly intervene with force.
Now, the fleet advances and locks onto the opponent."
Li Qingsong retreated, and the Mechanoid Scourge fleet advanced.
In this asteroid belt, both fleets were maneuvering rapidly, until almost all combat power on both sides came within a range of ten million kilometers around the rocky planet where Li Qingsong was located.
"Very good, very good, you've finally all come."
Li Qingsong decisively turned on electromagnetic wave communication and sent a message in a broadcast format to the vast starry sky.
"Since you refuse to let me go, then let's all perish together, perish together! We'll all die! All die!"
Following this slightly crazy message, as if to cooperate with Li Qingsong's broadcast, a very small bright spot suddenly erupted on the surface of the enormous, dazzling Pegasus V432 star.
