Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves-Chapter 404 - 238: Ghost Cultivators’ First Interstellar Battle! (Part 2)
Moreover, to prevent the command center from being wiped out by the incredible locking and teleportation technology displayed by the Human Civilization, all entities are distributed across different locations at distant distances.
Why is it said that such a civilization has fatal weaknesses?
Ghost Cultivators are strongest in their spirits; they possess the power to control and interfere from afar!
"By leveraging the enemy’s communication technology, we can perform curse-killing on the front lines!" A Ghost Cultivator at the Earth Immortal level gently stroked his faint beard, a smile on his face. "Although the strength of this curse-killing isn’t high, the enemy is merely a bunch of mortals, aren’t they?"
It was this statement that persuaded the command system of the Human Civilization.
They agreed to this trial battle.
Not only to actually give a try on the role of Ghost Cultivators in interstellar warfare but also to possibly inflict heavy damage on the enemy.
It must be noted that the methods of Ghost Cultivators are not just about remote killing, but even involve remotely controlling these mortals.
To distort their cognition and turn them into puppets.
This is definitely a method that the Interstellar Civilization could never imagine.
The interstellar world Shen Yu was eagerly looking forward to this.
And with the target and plan confirmed, the next step was intelligence gathering.
Under the command of Cultivator Shen Yu, a large amount of information was gathered, and the Human Civilization Alliance Army, including the Cedar Civilization, was made aware of the Human Civilization’s target.
"The Shar Civilization is not a good choice," said the commander of the Cedar Civilization, who even specifically approached the interstellar world Shen Yu. "’This civilization’s life forms are all hiding dozens of light-years away. What they dispatch to the front lines are just war machines that can’t be countered by AI technology, so they’ll be quickly replenished after being destroyed."
The interstellar world Shen Yu knew that the Cedar Civilization’s commander seemed to be advising.
But in reality, it was a probe.
A probe to test if the high-level life forms within Human Civilization had developed other powerful methods.
To this, the interstellar world Shen Yu gave a straightforward reply.
"I’ve selected some types from my followers that are suitable for dealing with them. You may observe; this is part of the experiment."
In the eyes of Cedar people, the interstellar world Shen Yu isn’t human.
But rather, for some unknown reason, he specifically came to Human Civilization to lead them in battle, as an individual of a high-level civilization.
Given the civilization level gap, whatever methods he uses are not surprising.
But most importantly, it’s whether they can discern something, gain something from it.
This is the reason why the Cedar Civilization is so keen on participating and assisting the Human Civilization.
Therefore, they are equally full of expectation.
Up to now, the Cedar people have gradually realized that the special life energy exhibited by Human Civilization might be an uncharted path and a deeply hidden cosmic truth!
The level of attention has skyrocketed, but they still want to see more.
Thus, the Cedar Civilization also sent more data concerning the Shar Civilization.
The self-awareness of the Shar people has been enhanced.
Through long-term training and technological aid, each individual’s computational ability is extremely powerful.
They can even be considered a combination of AI and biology.
Ensuring life’s flexibility while guaranteeing AI’s powerful computational and control capabilities.
Therefore, one person controlling dozens of warships or even hundreds to thousands of automated combat units is normal.
At this moment, they are on the front line of the enemy fleet, pressing further into the area controlled by Human Civilization.
The plan of the Human Civilization is very simple.
They directly dispatched hundreds of warships, sending three thousand Ghost Cultivators straight to the front line.
Only them, no other entities.
As expected, they were discovered as soon as they approached.
Although the marauders are unclear about the reason these seemingly ordinary warships were dispatched, they did not relax their vigilance.
They directly utilized the cross-wormhole strike technology.
Remotely, they precisely destroyed all the warships.
However, this level of attack could not harm the ghostly Ghost Cultivators.
"The presence of an antimatter energy field interferes with our Spiritual Energy, but not severely."
The highest commander of the Ghost Cultivator army, a Ghost Cultivator named Kui Bing, had already sensed the threat of the antimatter energy field in previous experiments, so he wasn’t surprised.
After a brief warning, he ordered everyone to continue flying towards the enemy.
They naturally used a means of escape not inferior to superluminal speed.
After all, the Immortal Cultivation Civilization is also a civilization proficient in cosmic battles.
This move was again discovered by the marauders.
Although Ghost Cultivators lack a physical form, their souls are brimming with abundant Spiritual Energy, a kind of energy that is hard to conceal under technological detection.
Technology-based detection often doesn’t probe the energy directly but rather its impact on surrounding parameters.
At this moment, they clearly detected these three thousand high-energy life forms!
For a moment, the entire Marauder Alliance erupted in a dense murmur of discussion.
"We’ve never seen such high-energy life forms before!"
"Are they from a high-level civilization?"
"No, despite the data being quite exaggerated, they are still several orders of magnitude weaker compared to a truly high-level civilization."
"They have no physical form, relying solely on information. How can they contain such levels of energy?"
"This isn’t the time to discuss technology. We need to come up with a plan!"
"..."
For a time, various proposals were being discussed and deployed rapidly.
Some were aimed specifically at information life forms with special tactics.
For example, a certain kind of memetic technology capable of instantly collapsing life form cognition.
Or a weapon that could perform highly effective interference on an energy field in a specific location within a short time.
They even employed special space gravity technology, using interference in the curvature of space in the region to affect the formation of these powerful information life forms.
The last of these is bona fide space technology.
Which stems from that Level Four marauder civilization!
This has essentially broken the proxy war’s tacit understanding, meaning the Cedar Civilization also has a reason to intervene directly or provide weapons with some Level Four technology.
The scale and level of this war would directly escalate.
However, the interstellar world Shen Yu temporarily held back the Cedar Civilization’s preparations.
Because all these methods were ineffective against the Ghost Cultivators.
Ghost Cultivators are not information life forms.
They merely resemble them.
Their souls exist based on extraordinary level rules.
More importantly, they are extraordinarily powerful!
Although the True Master level may not seem significant, like mere battlefield fodder, to the current Association and Shen Yu.
However, in the Magic World, this level’s extraordinary power has a prominent title.
—God!
They can easily wipe out a city, affect the laws of an entire plane, and even, united, effortlessly destroy a world or a planet.
Such formidable power, such transcendental life level, has even granted them the qualification for immortality.
Ordinary weapons, conventional means, how could they threaten them?
These weapons themselves were never intended for such existences!
Realizing their attack was ineffective, and that even Level Four civilization technology had no effect, a massive commotion broke out within the marauder army.
Marauder civilizations, driven by profit, continually plunder other civilizations. This civilization type means they prioritize profit above all.
How could they willingly suffer huge losses in the face of unknown danger?
