CHAPTER 1044: CHAPTER 1042: THEY HAVE AT LEAST 100 LEGIONS

The main battleship of Universe 65, rather than calling it a battleship, it is more like a mobile aerial fortress.

A group of Level Eight Life Forms are watching this battle through a screen, shaking several goblet-like containers in their hands to enjoy the specialty from a universe they have invaded.

"Their resistance is truly tenacious. It’s been a Cosmic Hour, and they still haven’t surrendered. At this rate, their forces will soon be exhausted."

"No worries, they won’t hold out much longer. Several of their legions have been severely damaged by us, and they have lost quite a few Vice Legion Commanders, with losses exceeding 20%."

"We just intercepted their distress signal, and nearby, fleets from two universes happened to be passing by."

"Oh? And then what?"

"They were two groups of cowards. Once they found out it was us from Universe 65, they directly fled."

"Hahaha, even though Universe 65 has only 12 fleets, every one of them is elite. Even 20 ordinary civilization legions may not be our match. Would they dare to come?"

"Over 3,000 civilizations and more than 20,000 legions, no one dares to claim they could seize that Star Core vein. Even if they become the final victor, it’s likely to be a Pyrrhic victory, not to mention, once they have it, holding onto it won’t be easy."

"Indeed, as long as this time we knock out those weaker universe fleets and gain some benefits from them, we can profit greatly. Let them fight each other for that Star Core vein until they are bloodied."

Indeed, Universe 65 has crafted an excellent plan, allowing them to gain the most benefit at the smallest cost. A Star Core vein is a coveted prize but also a hot potato.

...

"Beep beep beep!" Suddenly, the main battleship’s communicator rang.

The captain of a Supervisory Warship unexpectedly sent a communication request, his face somewhat pale as though he’d been frightened.

"Legion Commander, we’ve just detected a group of massive Energy Units rapidly approaching us at a speed of curvature 9. Predicted to arrive near us in minutes."

"What? Someone’s still daring to meddle in our affairs?"

"Perhaps they’re just passing by. Ignore them. Even if someone comes, we’re not afraid. Fight one, fight two, we can take them all on."

"Notify the fleet, prepare five legions to engage. Try not to damage their power systems too much. We need to bring their stuff back with us!"

"But... Legion Commander, they seem to have quite a lot of legions."

"Quite a lot? We have 12 legions. We’ve used just three to crush five from Universe 34 into their current state. Even if ten more come, we wouldn’t be afraid."

"You’re saying they have how many legions, hahaha!"

"Le... Legion Commander, we detected over 50 million Energy Units. Based on the standard of 50,000 warships per legion, they have at least 100 legions!"

"What did you say? 100 legions? Which civilization can dispatch 100 legions? Don’t they need their own universe anymore?"

Any civilization’s legions far exceed 100, but they can never dispatch many legions for such a long-distance operation.

Don’t they need to protect their own universe?

Don’t they need to station legions for their resources?

If they send out all their legions, their home base will be empty, and someone might take advantage of this vacuum to advance deeply, making it not worth the loss.

"It might be a coalition of United Legions from several universes since the most we’ve heard of a single universe dispatching is 60 legions."

"Have we confirmed their identity?"

"We repeatedly sent communication requests, but the reply was just a string of characters we couldn’t understand."

The Supervisory Warship displayed the message to their Legion Commander, showing just the large words "I Am Your Dad."

"What does this mean?"

"Unknown, besides this string of characters, there was no response or explanation of their intention."

"100 legions..." This massive number made the thought alone give them goosebumps.

"What should we do? Do we retreat? If a conflict is going to happen, now’s the time to leave." several Legion Commanders discussed.

Their legions can fight, but facing 100 legions, no matter how strong, it’s hard to withstand.

"Let’s not rush. Universe 34 is about to collapse, and the other party may not be coming for us after all."

"Exactly. They’re only emboldened by their United Legions’ numbers. If they offend us, our universe can dispatch troops to deal with them one by one!"

...

The battlefield of Universe 34.

"Legion Commander, our SOS has been answered. An allied force is on its way to us!"

"Which civilization is it? Universe 21 or Universe 19?" Ende showed a delighted expression. If there was reinforcement, and the reinforcement was strong enough, they could break through the encirclement, maybe even launch a successful counterattack!

"It’s Universe Seven."

"Universe Seven?" The delight on Legion Commander Ende’s face vanished instantly.

Universe Seven was indeed their ally, but its power compared to Universe 34 was much weaker. Its 10 legions would be equivalent to one legion of stronger universes.

He heard Universe Seven had only sent one legion this time.

One legion, even if each could spit once, their fleet would be buried alive. Why are they getting involved?

"Tell them this is Universe 65’s elite force. They should leave immediately," Ende ordered.

"Legion Commander, they refuse to leave... They say although they only have one legion, they have over 50 million warships and ask if we want to follow protocol or go straight to battle?"

...

This powerful fleet of 100 legions is now Zhang Menglong’s fleet.

The entire battlefield is full of Parallel Universes, with over 3,000 universes dispatching fleets. The encounter rate was quite high along the way.

This fleet was what Zhang Menglong acquired along the way...

Encountering adversary universes, Zhang Menglong would lead an attack, letting the people go but keeping the supplies and ships!

Of course, they often faced the covetous gaze of other universes.

Upon learning it was Universe Seven, others rushed over like wolves, as Universe Seven isn’t even among the top 2,000 in the 3,000+ civilizations competing for the Star Core, completely at the bottom of the food chain.

But when they arrived at Universe Seven’s fleet, they were dumbfounded.

Good heavens, is this still the weak Universe Seven? How are they dispatching a fleet the size of dozens of legions?

Before they could react, a super-fusion weapon would come at them.

Finally, they all tasted the misery of Universe 157. Along the way, they encountered dozens of civilizations. At first, everyone rushed to flaunt, but later upon detecting such a massive fleet, they simply detoured.

Over 53.83 million warships, more than 100 legion-level forces, that is Universe Seven’s current lineup.

"Dean, we’re almost there!"

"Tell Universe 34 not to panic. Their Emperor has returned!"

"Dean, we received Universe 34’s reply. They said the fleet sent by Universe 65 consists of their elites, with strong combat abilities. We must be cautious."

"Legion Commander, Universe 65 has dispatched 5 legions to intercept us, constantly sending warnings."

"Elite, my foot! I’ll beat elites! Start with the big one right away!"

"Yes!"

"Super-fusion weapon ready to launch!"

"Loaded, fire!!"
