368: Chapter 369 Gamox (Part Two)

Gamox looked at the star map, taking in the human fleet rushing toward them. These three million human warships were as insignificant as dust before the new generation of Polyphemus ships.

"General, what surprises me is that while these insects, the main body of Earth's civilization, are ugly, their development speed is simply incredible,"

Gamox's adjutant said from the side. "According to our previous scans of their Planet, six thousand years ago, this civilization was still in its most primitive tribal stage, using stone tools and surviving on hunting and gathering, not even understanding basic metal smelting. In less than ten thousand years, they have developed to nearly the level of a Level 1 Civilization."

"Oh?"

After confirming the news was true, a look of shock appeared for the first time, and the ten eyes on his limbs widened slightly.

He had read many historical records of the Philiphimus Civilization. In the long 137 million years since the birth of their civilization, there had never been such a precedent.

An intelligent race going from primitive tribes to a Level 1 Civilization in less than ten thousand years?

This did not conform to the laws of the Universe, the logic of civilizational evolution, or any common sense he knew.

Some civilizations only learned to use energy after five hundred thousand years; some had only just crawled off their home Planet after two million years; some even spent five million years fighting incessantly over the borders of the same continent.

According to records, even the great Philiphimus Civilization took a full two hundred thousand years to emerge from its home Planet.

Yet humans took only ten thousand years—not even that, only 6,000 years to reach the point where Polyphemus once was.

This was a terrifying speed.

No wonder they were only given 50 years to develop after being gifted technology. The higher-ups were likely worried this civilization would turn and devour them...

Gamox looked at the human warships getting closer on the star map. His previous contempt was gone, and he decided to completely annihilate them.

"Activate the Void Repulsion Field."

Gamox spoke calmly as he watched the human fleet's bombardment.

The human fleet's fire arrived in an instant.

The strike from these three million ships poured onto the Force Field like a torrential rain.

And then—

Nothing happened.

A full volley from three million warships and eight Starry Sky Fortresses, exerting all their strength, failed to harm even a single hair of the enemy.

Those powerful High-Energy Particle Beams and various weapons simply could not cause any damage to the Force Field.

Only that layer of barrier still quietly enveloped the Polyphemus fleet, as if nothing had happened.

Gamox's ten eyes narrowed simultaneously, a flash of satisfaction in his gaze. This was one of the peak technologies of the Philiphimus Civilization, the Void Repulsion Field.

"Insects are just insects,"

The adjutant with sixteen eyes smiled at the scene and said, "No matter how much technology you give them, it cannot change the fact that they are insects."

But just then,

The detectors in the ship detected a high-energy reaction behind the human fleet. In a few moments, crimson pillars of light shot out from the muzzles of the eight Starry Sky War Fortresses at the human rear. The surging energy caused the alarms inside the ship to ring.

"General, a high-energy reaction detected. The energy level is soaring. A single point has already exceeded the range that the Void Repulsion Field can withstand."

A Polyphemus tribesman said.

"What!"

The ring-shaped muscles around the eye at the center of Gamox's limbs suddenly tightened, squeezing every eyeball slightly toward the center. This was the instinctive reaction of the Polyphemus race when facing a threat.

"Intercept," Gamox ordered. Watching these eight shells successfully intercepted outside the Force Field, resulting in explosion clouds that shook the starry sky, there was no joy on Gamox's face.

Humans actually had weapons of this magnitude?

Gamox admitted that this was beyond his expectations.

"Now this is getting interesting."

Gamox smiled slightly. He had seen too many civilizations; even after receiving the technology of the Philiphimus Civilization, they would only create some useless trash.

This Earth civilization was starting to interest Gamox. He decided to surround and slaughter these humans.

"Release the Spatial Chaos Burst Bombs."

After blocking this area of the starry sky, the detectors once again picked up a high-energy reaction from the human rear. At the same time, they sent a Suicide Squad to approach his ship.

Gamox turned around and looked at a silver cube next to the ship's main console. "Initiate Quantum Invasion."

After he spoke, the silver cube began to emit a faint glow, and countless strange characters rapidly flickered across its surface.

This was the supercomputer of the Philiphimus Civilization. Against the human fleet, which was relatively weak in this regard, it was undoubtedly a Dimensional Reduction Strike.

The invisible Quantum Storm began.

Gamox watched the star map, quietly waiting for the human fleet's main cannons to lose their glow, waiting for their engines to stop running, and waiting for those three million warships to become scrap metal floating in the void.

He seemed to see the humans' look of despair.

The quantum strike was indeed effective. The human fleet lost control in an instant, and the shells prepared for launch in the rear were forcibly terminated.

But this situation lasted only for a brief moment. In the next second, the human fleet resumed operation. Instead, the AI within his own ship began to sound an alarm.

The supercomputer that Polyphemus was so proud of actually became unstable. The strange characters on the cube began to flicker; it was clearly under attack.

The alarm sound was sharp and piercing.

[91&%# Small@!abcde123hei^&!]

Their Quantum Invasion was actually suppressed. Not only that, it was even breached by the opponent for an instant!

A look of horror like never before appeared on Gamox's face, which also turned grim.

Why did humans have such technology? It defied common sense. The opponent's AI was exceptionally powerful, even having the spare capacity during the confrontation to guide the humans in dodging Neutron Rays.

This was a weapon with terrifying lethality, specifically designed to kill biological organisms.

At this time, the Polyphemus ship was hit by three shells, suffering significant damage. The human fleet launched a general offensive.

Even the use of Singularity Bombs could not stop them in the slightest; they were charging every moment.

That fearless, death-defying spirit gave Gamox a sudden shock. From this moment on, the scales of victory no longer seemed to lean in his favor.

"General, we need reinforcements."

The adjutant said anxiously from the side, his previous calm gone. The offensive from these insects was truly too frenzied.

Gamox's expression was grim.

He knew what sending this signal would mean.

It would mean admitting failure in the war against the humans. It would mean he needed help from others to survive.

It would mean his name would be forever erased from the Polyphemus Heroic Records.

More importantly, how would the higher-ups view him?

"Slave of the Ten-Eyed."

"A piece of trash like this is fit to lead the Vanguard?"

"The Princess marrying him is truly a disgrace..."

Gamox could already hear those voices.

Those doubts.

Those taunts.

It was as if he had returned to the days in the Underground Mineral Veins.
