CHAPTER 562: CHAPTER 561: THE DEFECTION INCIDENT

Cosmic Zone Universe.

The expansion wave backflow had already shrunk past its halfway point, plunging the available living space to an all-time historical low.

Under the continuous reduction of this living space, the pressure always loomed like an invisible specter over all civilizations, generating immense anxiety and stress internally.

Especially now, in the midst of an intense decisive battle, anyone on any planet could directly observe the boundary of the expansion wave backflow using just a regular astronomical telescope, which actually represented the boundary of the Universe.

That is to say, now any ordinary person could observe the Universe’s boundary with a regular astronomical telescope, an unimaginable feat previously when even the most advanced telescopes used by scientists could not spot it. This historic phenomenon, however, only intensified the unease among the people.

In such a context, the desire to end the war was extraordinarily strong.

As the respective plans of the Pure Element Camp and the communal factions unfolded and achieved certain results, this epic war also reached its final decisive moment.

Cooperation within the Pure Element Camp, merely superficial in unity, left the Pure Element Celestial Bodies and the Antimatter Civilization oblivious to the subtle shifts within the Black Hole Civilization, confident of victory and thus accelerating the general offensive.

The defense space of the Wandering Alliance and the Degenerate Civilization was also once compressed to an incredibly small range, however, just as the joint forces of the Pure Element Camp continued to lean their firepower towards the communal faction, neither the Pure Element Celestial Bodies nor the Antimatter Civilization expected a sudden fire in their own backyard.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Black Hole Civilization, with all firepower unleashed, suddenly launched an attack.

Targeting selectively and specifically, they aimed at the logistic factories of the Pure Element Celestial Bodies and Antimatter Civilization; due to the lack of vigilance by the Antimatter Civilization and Pure Element Celestial Bodies towards the Black Hole Civilization, five-fourths of their logistical factories were destroyed by a former ally in a moment of negligence, nearly completely losing their logistical support capability. Furthermore, the Black Hole Civilization also collaborated inside and out with the communal faction, suddenly striking both inside and outside the southern Pure Element Camp joint forces, annihilating a hundred thousand Battle Stars in this area in one fell swoop!

This move could truly be described as a deadly blow that completely disrupted the footing of the Pure Element Camp!

"Damn it, Black Hole Civilization, what do you mean? Why would you suddenly attack your own people?"

The Pure Element Celestial Bodies and Antimatter Civilization were immensely infuriated, their hatred almost uncontrollable, "Today, if you don’t give us a reasonable explanation, you will perish along with the communal faction!"

"You want a reasonable explanation? Sure..."

The Black Hole Civilization said, "We, the Black Hole Civilization, have just had a general assembly vote and decided to join the communal faction. We are now a part of the communal faction, so that is why we collaborated with them to strike against you!"

"Damn it, you are simply courting death. We, the Antimatter Civilization, hate traitors the most!" the Antimatter Civilization said menacing, strong killing intent manifest.

The Black Hole Civilization mocked: "Heh, talking about traitors, have you forgotten so soon how you forced us to join you?"

The Pure Element Celestial Bodies suddenly said, "Black Hole Civilization, were you spies for the communal faction from the very beginning? If we had known this, we should have eradicated you thoroughly earlier instead of persuading you to surrender. That would have been a real time and effort saver."

The Black Hole Civilization said responsibly, "We’ve only just realized it ourselves. Initially, we joined you because we thought the Pure Element Camp was much stronger and could quickly结束战争, but we hadn’t anticipated your lack of unity and the significant shortcomings in the overall operation of your society, especially in the logistical capabilities of both sides that were worlds apart. At this point, we realized that it was inevitable for problems to arise based on this civilizational system eventually, hence we decided to turn to the light!"

"Turn to the light?! Hahaha..."

The Pure Element Celestial Bodies mocked: "Making such a hated and unwise decision at this time, where is the turning to the light? You have hardly any wisdom because the defeat of the communal faction is certain, yet you willingly go to them, cutting your own path to death. Very well, we shall fulfill your wish!"

The Wandering Alliance countered, "That’s not necessarily true, oops Pure Element Celestial Bodies, it’s you who are blind to the reality. Your logistical capabilities were already lagging behind ours, and now, with the Black Hole Civilization having destroyed five-fourths of your logistical factories, you basically have no logistical support left. Rebuilding your logistical supply lines is not an overnight task, so the gap in logistical support will widen further. The ultimate failure in this war will only be yours! The Black Hole Civilization’s choice is quite wise. Antimatter Civilization, you might want to consider this carefully as well!"

"Yes, Pure Element Celestial Bodies and Antimatter Civilization, why still put on a brave front?"

The Black Hole Civilization also chimed in, "Now that you don’t even have logistic factories, without logistical support, how can you continue to fight us? By relying on love for power?"

"Shut up, you shameless scoundrels, we will never betray our cause!" shouted the Antimatter Civilization indignantly.

However, no sooner had the words of the Antimatter Civilization fallen than they were counteracted. Some battle stars under the Antimatter Civilization suddenly broke away from the Antimatter Star System and flew towards the communal faction.

The Antimatter Civilization was taken aback and immediately contacted those battle stars, ordering them to return. However, no response was received and those battle stars still flew towards the communal faction. The Antimatter Civilization suddenly felt ominous, but they still comforted themselves by guessing that these battle stars, out of loyalty to their civilization, must have intended to die together with the communal faction, hence why they ignored their orders.

Regrettably, the reality was bleak compared to the ideal, and ultimately, the actions of the Antimatter Civilization were slapped in the face once again.

Those defected battle stars did not perish together with the communal faction but instead joined them, becoming a part of the communal faction!

"...."

This scene almost choked the Antimatter Civilization to the point of vomiting blood, several high-ranking commanders were furious!

Almost at the same time, more than a hundred Pure Element Battle Stars within the Pure Element Celestial Bodies also mysteriously defected and joined the communal faction.

"This isn’t right; something is off here, Wandering Alliance, Degenerate Civilization, have you done something?"

Bizarre incidents emerged one after another, and finally, the Pure Element Celestial Bodies and Antimatter Civilization realized that something was amiss. Though the Black Hole Civilization could be ignored, at least that was an independent civilization with its own choices being quite normal.

However, the battle stars under their flag were absolutely obedient to commands; it was unimaginable that there could be such a massive defection. There’s no reason at all! Considering the Black Hole Civilization’s betrayal, the Pure Element Celestial Bodies and Antimatter Civilization suddenly realized that they might have been hit by some special weapon from the communal faction!
