The Eye of the Azure Devil’s first reaction to the sky-filling attack was to rush in one direction.
Dynamic objects are always harder to calculate than static ones.
But it was facing millions of warships, and this number was so large that the difference would actually be very small.
This was the source of Ba Qieli’s confidence.
No matter what action this strange creature took, the final result would not change.
It should have been so.
However, in its observation, less than 1 second after the weapon was launched, the creature changed direction.
It moved in the exact opposite direction from before.
It wasn’t sudden; rather, it began to circle, only completely turning around after 32 minutes.
But this change startled it.
The computing power lent to it by the warships showed it that the calculation results were deviating.
The original 100% hit rate had become 99.99%.
A very small change.
But this was just the beginning.
Soon, the hit rate dropped to 99.5%.
“What did it do?”
Only after the data analysis came out did Ba Qieli understand why the creature acted this way.
When moving in one direction, to hit it, one must shift the attack’s center of gravity towards its front.
To prevent it from turning or decelerating, the calculation results also account for its sides and rear.
However, the attack density is still highest directly in front, slightly less on the front-sides, even less on the direct sides, and least at the rear.
Therefore, at this moment, turning directly to the rear presented the lowest risk factor.
This primarily exploited the information acquisition time difference in interstellar warfare.
But knowing this and actually doing it are very different.
The timing was also very tight.
For example, the time the Eye of the Azure Devil took to change direction.
32 minutes, half an hour.
The turning path was 4 astronomical units, and the turning radius was 1.27 astronomical units.
The weapons released by millions of warships covered a considerable range, close to 1 astronomical unit.
When an energy beam is fired, it doesn’t only explode upon hitting a target; it can also be set to explode at a certain distance.
An energy beam, possibly only 1 meter in diameter, if not used to attack a unit with strong defenses like a warship, but rather for area coverage, can have a damage radius of over 1 million kilometers.
After all, this tiny beam of energy could be tens or hundreds of times the total energy of the entire Human Civilization in the 21st century.
1 million kilometers is the damage radius for units below warship-class, not the traditional damage radius of a nuclear bomb on humans and buildings.
It’s no exaggeration to say that even if it hit an iron planet, a hole with a radius of over 100 kilometers would appear on that planet.
No creature could survive such an attack.
At a distance of 1 astronomical unit, at the speed of the Eye of the Azure Devil, it could escape within 12 minutes.
But the key is that pre-calculation was also taken into account here.
The actual weapon targeting is much more precise.
The escape time also increases by several or even more than ten times.
It could be 1 hour to 1 and a half hours.
Plus, the time needed to confirm whether the enemy is attacking; in a traditional battlefield, a time difference of three to four hours is very normal.
So, if facing an attack within 21 astronomical units, on a traditional battlefield, a 100% hit rate can be achieved.
This is still for warships.
Considering the target is a creature.
This number could be much, much larger.
Even within 100 astronomical units, hitting a single biological target could achieve a 100% hit rate.
Most importantly, there was also the overwhelming computing power.
The scale of computing power mobilized by Ba Qieli was immense, enough to further increase this number several times over.
However.
The result was something Ba Qieli had not encountered.
It hadn’t even predicted the process.
The Eye of the Azure Devil’s reaction was too fast.
It started reacting almost the instant they attacked.
How did it know?
“Search the surroundings for any of that thing’s scouts.”
“Continue the attack; don’t let it regain its rhythm.”
The search result was negative.
Ba Qieli had a premonition but dared not truly believe it.
It was just a creature; it must have relied on some mechanical means to reach this level.
It was just that the Federation’s things were too well hidden, and they hadn’t discovered them.
After the second and third rounds of attacks.
The Eye of the Azure Devil was still not hit.
At this point, Ba Qieli was getting anxious.
Although the charging time for launching was very short, the Eye of the Azure Devil’s changes were too numerous, which made them spend more time calculating trajectories and blocking routes.
The fourth round of attacks was launched.
A small energy beam struck a fragmented image of the Eye of the Azure Devil.
It was only dozens of meters away from the Eye of the Azure Devil.
Extremely close.
The Eye of the Azure Devil’s enormous eyeball rotated, showing a hint of mockery.
As the energy beam passed it, it slightly changed direction, as if a refraction of energy had occurred.
This energy beam flew in another direction, striking another point.
Then it scattered like fireworks.
But it wasn't random scattering.
Instead, smaller energy beams collided with energy coming from other directions.
All these energies scattered, forming energy winds that altered the paths of the surrounding energy.
Energy beams from powerful Civilizations are rarely composed purely of photons; most are made of created particles, whether from the Federation, Flying Civilization, or Advancing Civilization, it's all the same.
These particles are easily influenced.
Just because of a slight deviation.
Most of the energy actually converged at a single point afterwards.
This energy came from approximately 1.9 million Advancing Civilization warships.
Even though it was already reduced output energy, the quantitative change still led to a qualitative change.
These energies gathered together, compressed during the impact, and briefly merged into one.
After just a brief instant, there was another explosion.
But this explosion was different.
The Eye of the Azure Devil was right next to it.
The alien machines embedded in its body frantically absorbed the exploding energy.
The Eye of the Azure Devil’s size experienced a sudden surge.
After the surge, the excess part underwent another explosion.
And what scattered from this explosion was no longer energy.
Ba Qieli saw a lot of liquid-like substances flying out.
“Don’t let those liquids touch you.”
It was somewhat familiar with this substance.
It had witnessed it once before during the battle with the Eye of the Azure Devil.
Once attached, it was like a maggot on bone, requiring entry into the super-microscopic world to shake off.
It said not to let it touch them, but how easy was that?
Even after scattering dozens of astronomical units, the density of these substances was still considerable.
warship after warship was contaminated.
The liquid adsorbed onto the energy shield and quickly began to invade.
“Enter the super-microscopic world.”
Ba Qieli was in a very bad mood.
This was undoubtedly a trick played by that creature.
Millions of warships being unable to kill a single creature was a great humiliation for a powerful Civilization, and even more so for a commander like him.
The warships entered the super-microscopic world.
And in the starry sky.
The Eye of the Azure Devil watched as warship after warship disappeared.
After most of them had vanished, it flew towards an empty area.
It wanted to leave here!
Its speed was also very fast; it could fly several astronomical units in a few dozen minutes.
More importantly, it was already on the edge.
After flying out of the dangerous zone, it looked towards a stretch of Deep Space.
There, a terrifying energy beam was flying towards it!
The Eye of the Azure Devil.
No, now it was not even the Eye of the Azure Devil anymore.
The alien machines had completely invaded it, taking control of its body.
It wasn’t a consciousness invading, but a Host directly controlling the Eye of the Azure Devil.
The Host’s own intelligence was much higher than that of a creature, and it was absolutely calm; this was the best controller for causality.
As the Host, it received all information from other Hosts around it, so it knew that Luo Yanchen had launched a super-range weapon and incorporated the super-range weapon into its own calculations.
Foreseeing the future was also about controlling information, not just simply calculating.
Since there was ready-made help, the Eye of the Azure Devil’s actions from the very beginning were a gradual Induction.
Making the Advancing Civilization’s warships enter the super-microscopic world was the most crucial step.
The Advancing Civilization’s warships entering and leaving the super-microscopic world are not instantaneous.
This period of time meant that they lost their observation of the surroundings, or a more detailed observation.
They also lost the time to leave this area.
