Peixin didn't ask how long it would take.

And this wait lasted another eight or nine days.

Peixin felt he was patient enough, but he couldn't help but ask how much longer they had to wait.

Filo Dime, however, smiled and said, "It's already done!"

Immediately after, the entire main warship began to vibrate.

The high-frequency vibration made Peixin feel dizzy and nauseous.

Filo Dime must have tested this thing before, so his body had already left the warship floor by one centimeter before completion, essentially floating in mid-air, unaffected by the vibration.

"After all, the entire warship wasn't adapted for the field weapon, so there are many imperfections."

"But these are minor issues."

"Soon, the fireworks will bloom."

… …

On the other side.

The leaders of the various Civilizations in the Claw Star Cluster waited until their people had escaped thousands of astronomical units away, and when they saw the Federation warship, which had somehow arrived from the black hole and was now stopped in place, they all felt very strange.

Along with the strangeness, a sense of alarm arose.

"The Human warship stopping must mean it's preparing a big move."

The Merchant Civilization Leader was extremely sensitive to this.

The Electric Civilization Leader, however, felt indifferent.

"We are already so far away, and our warships have dispersed."

"Even if those Humans' technology is a bit stronger than ours, can they really wipe us all out?"

"I think they just don't know which side to attack, and the technological means they used before probably require a certain cooling time, so they are in the cooling period right now."

Cooling might not necessarily be about weapon barrel heat accumulation.

It could also be that the energy is depleted and needs replenishment.

"That's right."

"They should be at their weakest right now; we can't let them reactivate and launch the String Blade Matrix."

The Stone Sculpture Civilization Leader immediately gave the order.

Although interstellar wars can be long, sometimes it's necessary to seize every second.

For example, an attack launched now, arriving in a few days, but just a few seconds before it hits, the enemy warship suddenly moves hundreds of thousands of kilometers, causing it to miss, which could change the course of the battle.

Timing is crucial.

"Are we finally going to use that thing?"

"The Civilization Federation… Humans… though powerful, we are not weak. There have been several Civilization eras and dozens of Civilization ruins here."

The Lishou Civilization Leader spoke, saying that they were actually the most proactive among the Eight Great Civilizations when it came to war.

In the early stages of the war, the Lishou Civilization Leader had hoped to use the weapons excavated from those ruins.

However, the other Civilization Leaders felt that the distance was too great and the hit rate was insufficient, so they kept suppressing the idea.

And now, it was indeed the best time.

Although the Human Civilization's warship was also moving, by observing and locating it from multiple angles with surrounding warships and calculating its movement pattern, the hit rate had greatly improved.

Even across thousands of astronomical units, by using that weapon, it could still destroy more than half.

The String Blade weapon is a type of string weapon.

By attacking strings, it causes the strings in a certain area to change.

For example, closed strings might become open strings.

Open strings can also be further divided.

The macroscopic phenomena produced by the weapon are similar to most unconventional weapons, all causing matter in a certain area to collapse.

The difference is that various weapons have different blocking methods and different penetration capabilities.

Some unconventional weapons can also be blocked, as long as the corresponding technology is possessed.

However, strings, as the most basic matter constituting everything in the world, a low-dimensional existence, are extraordinarily difficult to defend against.

According to the Claw Civilization's research, these string weapons might be remnants of a Tier 3 Civilization.

They themselves were not even large weapons, but merely ordinary ship-borne weapons; it was just that the energy they used was incredibly absurd.

The total energy within the warships of the various Civilizations in the Claw Star Cluster could at most allow one String Blade weapon to fire two or three times.

And the String Blade Matrix is essentially having all warships equipped with string weapons form a matrix, releasing string weapons to make it impossible for the enemy to evade.

"It has already begun, the matrix will be assembled quickly and deliver a heavy blow to the enemy."

"If it weren't for the immense energy required by this weapon and the sheer number of Zerg, it should have been used against those Zerg long ago."

"But because of this, the Civilization Federation can absolutely not know that we possess this weapon; this is their biggest mistake."

The Sacred Civilization Leader still couldn't forget about the Zerg.

In fact, they had long been reverse-engineering string weapons.

However, the technological level of string weapons was too high; after 100,000 years of research, their basic principles could not be fully understood, let alone mass-produced.

"How much longer will it take?"

The Stone Sculpture Civilization Leader looked at the movements of the Civilization Federation warship in the information and, for some reason, felt a sense of urgency.

"About four or five flow-xi."

The Sacred Civilization Leader replied.

This time was already very short.

The Civilization Federation's warship had been motionless for the past dozen days, and they didn't believe there would be any surprises within four or five flow-xi.

Even if it took some time for the string weapon to reach the opponent, as long as the String Blade Matrix encompassed them, whatever they did would be futile.

Across over 1000 astronomical units, the matrix was sufficient to hit over 70% of the Civilization Federation's warships.

All Civilization Leaders were waiting.

Waiting for the moment of launch.

They were also nervous about whether the Civilization Federation had already made a move, whether their attack had already arrived, and whether it would affect the String Blade Matrix within these few flow-xi.

Time passed bit by bit.

It felt like six or seven flow-xi had passed.

The information from that side should have already come through.

The six great Civilization Leaders were not within the fleet, but stayed in the far rear.

Suddenly, a piece of information appeared on the screen they were watching.

"It's here!"

The hearts of the six great Civilization Leaders subtly relaxed.

As long as it's launched…

But suddenly, that information turned a bright, vivid yellow, which was the Claw Star Cluster's alarm color.

The information came through in audio form.

"Leaders, all warships have lost contact! All warships have lost contact!!!"

The six great Civilization Leaders were greatly alarmed.

"How could this be?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Who sent false information?"

If their own system hadn't been infiltrated by the enemy, then this message wouldn't be wrong.

But how could all warships lose contact?

One must know that their warships were distributed across a vast expanse of space, and the enemy's warship numbers were far fewer than their own.

With dozens of times the warship disparity, no matter how powerful the enemy, it was absolutely impossible to annihilate them all in an instant.

"Everyone, calm down."

"It should be that the enemy used some technology to cut off all information transmission within a certain star region."

"After all, we haven't received any information about our warships being lost yet."

The Stone Sculpture Civilization Leader was the first to regain composure; the momentary loss of color seemed to have vanished.

The other Civilization Leaders also reacted one after another.

They expressed agreement with the Stone Sculpture Civilization Leader's statement.

After all, it was simply impossible for hundreds of millions of warships to be completely destroyed.

If it had been after decades of war, it might be somewhat believable, but only a few flow-xi had passed.

"That's right, we can't scare ourselves."

In fact, they hadn't truly believed this at first; it was just a possibility they had discussed earlier.

So when the information came, they immediately thought of this possibility, which caused them to lose their composure.

The six great Civilization Leaders settled down and continued to wait for new information.

However, this wait was somewhat agonizing.

After recovering, the Sacred Civilization Leader regained full confidence.

"If they are just cutting off information and not launching a counterattack, then the String Blade weapon has already been launched. We just need to wait a period of time, and the enemy will naturally collapse."

"I estimate that news of victory will be transmitted very soon."

The expressions on the faces of the other Civilization Leaders softened slightly, and they all echoed, feeling that it was indeed so.

It could only be so.

However, everything remained eerily quiet.

Just as all Civilization Leaders were about to grow anxious, information came again.

But the expressions of all Civilization Leaders became incredibly tense.

"This timing… it's too early!"

It was much earlier than the time they had expected the information to be transmitted.

After all, it still took some time for the String Blade weapon to hit the enemy, and then more time for the information to be transmitted back.

And now, it shouldn't be within that timeframe.

Despite having a psychological expectation, seeing the information still in bright yellow, all Civilization Leaders couldn't help but shiver.

And the content they saw almost made them faint.

"All… all warships annihilated…"
