Chapter 10
Natural Selection, Engage

The fifth level of the Cretaceous Base.

The control center of the Digital Array.

“I can't believe it's the Demon civilization,”

“They were being chased by the Angels, so they opened a space wormhole to escape and accidentally jumped to the Origin Star System.”

“And the previous explosion, it was actually an accident. Their weapon accidentally fired and destroyed the eighth planet, which is quite unexpected.”

After the Digitals infiltrated the Demon spaceship, they immediately invaded the ship's database and learned about the whole process.

Through quantum entanglement, the Digitals transmitted the collected intelligence back to the control center.

“The Origin Star is so unlucky, it’s bound to encounter the Demon civilization.”

“And their mission is to find life planets, release Demon gene viruses, create Demon waves, and finally select qualified Demon warriors.”

In the Digital Array control center, Tai Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A small spaceship without any strategic weapons, with two Demon soldiers at the level of the first generation of Super Warriors.

It's not that Tai Hao underestimated them, but the data collected by the Digitals made it difficult for him to take them seriously.

As Tai Hao remembered, all advanced civilizations in this universe were influenced by the Shenhe civilization and embarked on the path of genetic god-making technological development.

Gene modification, dark energy research, spacetime wormholes, computers, dark matter dimensional development.

These researches became mainstream.

Even their research on the four fundamental forces was at a relatively low level.

The so-called god-making civilizations have incomplete technological systems and are extremely specialized.

As a god-making civilization, the Demon warship's weapon configuration was far inferior to that of the Natural Selection.

It's truly unbelievable.

Tai Hao decided to have the Natural Selection intercept the Demon spaceship in space and destroy it.

The Natural Selection.

Shangguan Rui, the captain, felt heavy.

He was the only one in the know, knowing that this wasn't a live-fire exercise, but a real space battle with an alien spaceship.

As a brilliant Imperial soldier, Shangguan Rui wasn't afraid of death.

Ever since graduating from the Imperial Naval Academy, Shangguan Rui had been prepared to die on the battlefield.

However, he had only joined the military for less than half a month, and before he could embark on a real battlefield, the war was over.

Shangguan Rui was ready to return to the academy for further studies, but fate had other plans for him.

A year ago, two people from the Imperial Security Bureau found him, took him to the Imperial Capital, and put him through rigorous elimination-style training and strict political screening.

In the end, he stood out, became a member of the secret forces, the Space Force, witnessed the highest secrets of the empire, and finally emerged as the captain of the stellar-class warship, the Natural Selection.

Shangguan Rui wasn't afraid of sacrifice, but he feared that the Natural Selection would be destroyed under his command.

But military orders were absolute.

As the battle order was given, Shangguan Rui forgot his anxiety and instinctively used his data glove to control the warship to fly into space.

A bright sun suddenly appeared in the sky above the Imperial Capital of the Star River Empire. Even in broad daylight, it emitted a dazzling light. That sun represented the glory and brilliance of a civilization.

Everyone in the Imperial Capital involuntarily looked up, amazed by this incomprehensible sight.

Soon, propelled by the non-propellant propulsion system, the Natural Selection broke free from the gravitational pull and entered space.

(Captain Shangguan Rui, hello. This is the Digital. I will guide you to victory against the Demons.)

After the warship escaped the planet's gravity, a silver sphere the size of a basketball suddenly appeared in front of Shangguan Rui.

Shangguan Rui was startled by this extraordinary sight.

But when he saw the text on the silver sphere, he immediately forced himself to calm down.

Before he left, the Emperor had summoned him and informed him of the existence of the Digitals.

“Hello, I'm Shangguan Rui! I will follow your guidance to attack the Demons.”

Shangguan Rui didn't know what the Digitals were, but he knew that the Demons were aliens, and they were his targets.

After a few minutes of travel, the Natural Selection reached its designated coordinates and prepared for battle.

(The target will arrive in the attack zone in one minute. Please prepare for battle.)

Shangguan Rui looked solemn and instructed the intelligent system to perform a self-check on the weapons system.

On the Demon warship, the two Demon soldiers were unaware that a spaceship with terrifying firepower was waiting for them to fall into a trap.

“Ahmon, after we finish this mission, our merit will be enough for us to become second-generation Demons together, right?”

The injured Demon suddenly spoke, his black and ugly face filled with anticipation and longing.

“Yes, we have cleansed two life planets, and with this one, according to the Queen's rules, it's enough for us to advance to the second generation.”

Ahmon in the pilot's seat also showed a dreamy look.

“Humph~ After I upgrade, I'll make that bitch who chased me before into roast goose!”

“Angel Feng Xue, I can't wait to hear her scream before she dies, that's gonna be music to my ears.”

Just as the two Demons were fantasizing about their future, the warship suddenly issued an alarm. A spaceship was detected 60 light-seconds away.

And the ship also detected the other party launching an attack.

The next second, a gamma ray laser with enough power to pierce mountains struck the Demon warship.

With the assistance of the Digitals, the Natural Selection launched an attack from outside the light-cone horizon.

The gamma ray laser hit the Demon warship. The terrifying ultra-high temperature energy was enough to instantly vaporize and pierce the Demon warship.

But a transparent energy shield suddenly appeared, blocking the violent gamma rays.

“Damn! I knew it wouldn't be that easy, they have energy shielding capabilities!”

In the Digital Array control center, Tai Hao immediately knew the result through quantum entanglement.

“This world also obeys the law of conservation of energy. Have the Natural Selection continue attacking, depleting the Demon warship's energy!”

Upon receiving the order, the Digitals immediately returned to the Natural Selection and relayed Tai Hao's order to Shangguan Rui.

After receiving the order, Shangguan Rui immediately executed it and had the Natural Selection launch a saturation strike.

Gamma ray lasers, high-energy particle beams, electromagnetic rail guns, and space torpedoes were launched one after another.

On the Demon warship, the two Demons had just breathed a sigh of relief when they were shocked by the feedback from the ship.

“Holy crap! That firepower is insane. Biesi Pu, quickly calculate how long the space shield can hold out!”

Ahmon shouted loudly while maneuvering the Demon warship to dodge the attacks.

“Space shield energy remaining 80%. If it's hit four more times, the space shield will be broken.”

“Boom~”

Biesi Pu had just finished his report when the warship shook violently. Another high-energy particle beam, which had been fired with a lead time, hit the Demon warship.

“Damn it! Do they have a dark space observation system too?”

Ahmon roared loudly and changed the ship's course again.
