Chapter 1846: Chapter 578: Luring the Swarm into the House (6k)_3

"Sigh... After leaving, the student has made something of themselves and doesn’t even want to call me teacher..."

"Teacher, please act normally...

There are others here..."

"Tch, you’re no fun at all." The Quantum Ghost pouted in displeasure, tilting their head and getting up from the seat.

"With me here, how can there be any problem? I’ve taken control of the entire planet’s quantum network; no one will have any recording of us.

But..."

"But?"

The Commander had already turned back with relief, but hearing this, they sharply turned their head back again.

"But I seem to always feel like the quantum network is being spied on, yet I can’t find the exact source or any evidence.

It feels like an illusion..."

"Is there anything spying? With your skills, even if you personally invaded, I would find some clues. An invasion that you couldn’t detect essentially doesn’t exist, right.

Have you checked the possibility of a physical invasion?"

The Commander looked solemn. A quantum invasion was impossible; the only possibility was that someone was physically monitoring them.

Stealth Ability isn’t strange for a High-tier Extraordinary, especially with so many bizarre Superpower Users in this world.

"I’ve already tried. The feeling of being spied on comes from the quantum network, more precisely from the warship itself.

While you were commanding, I’ve already arranged my machines to inspect, using that kind of radar. No discoveries at all."

"Inspect? When?"

The Commander was stunned. Clearly, they had just claimed they could detect the teacher’s quantum invasion, yet they hadn’t perceived the teacher doing so much.

If the teacher wanted to make a move, they likely had no ability to resist...

Fortunately, even though the teacher seemed unreliable, they were still of the Empire’s direct lineage...

"Never mind. Since even the teacher couldn’t find it, let’s consider it non-existent.

Moving forward, I still rely on you, teacher. Encountering the Heide civilization’s fleet will probably be where the trouble truly begins."

In the entire plan, simply driving away the Insect Swarm was actually the easiest step.

Dealing with the Insect Swarm, which was recognized as similar to beasts, was still easier than dealing with people.

Against the Insect Swarm, there are anti-swarm weapons that can drive them away, but evidently, Heide civilization won’t meekly comply with the destination.

Infiltration relied on his teacher, the "Quantum Ghost’s" ability to conceal their tracks, but in driving the Swarm, the activity was too large to be completely concealed.

Once they confronted an official fleet of the Heide civilization, these infiltrating fleets would find themselves in an awkward position.

Many devices dismantled for confidentiality also impacted combat power, so if a fight broke out, it would be quite troublesome.

They didn’t need any additional efforts in the driving path; the Commander and his teacher were both monitoring the quantum network to ensure that no information would leak out.

But since they couldn’t warp, even though they chose the nearest target planet, and somehow the swarm had mastered a rapid flying technique.

Took them a full two days to finally arrive near the target Constant Star System.

And for the Commander, the most noticeable thing was that the surrounding quantum network had clearly become busier.

"Hmm? This quantum signal... It’s here!"

The Commander suddenly opened their eyes, detaching from the quantum network, and shouted into the communications:

"Heide civilization fleet detected, escort fleet, switch to regular combat status, prepare to engage!"

Within the fleet, except the vanguard fleet responsible for driving the Insect Swarm, the other warships collectively switched their ship cannons, and the Joint Shield was immediately activated.

And the moment everything was in place, in the space ahead, a marked fleet had already arrayed themselves.

"Gemini Empire, what exactly do you intend! Driving the Insect Swarm here! As one of the Three Great Civilizations, are you going to openly violate the rules?"

The angry roar erupted in the fleet’s public communication channel, but the Commander simply waved their hand, letting the Deputy take over.

"What Gemini Empire, I don’t know, we’re just Star Thieves!"

To avoid revealing more, the Deputy didn’t explain much.

With that, the fleet immediately began its attack.

The barrage, dozens of times denser than when driving the Insect Swarm, instantly suppressed the Heide civilization’s fleet, unable to deal with the Swarm.

The Heide civilization didn’t have the agile Star Gate technology of the Three Great Civilizations.

Even with the Advanced Civilization Alliance’s support and other civilizations’ Star Gates, both the distance and preparation time were longer than the Three Great Civilizations.

The number of fleets they brought was not many, barely on par with this Gemini Empire fleet.

"How could Star Thieves have such fierce firepower! Gemini Empire, this is simply deceiving oneself!"

In the flagship of the Heide civilization fleet, the Deputy indignantly remarked behind the commander.

"Sir, can’t we expose the Empire?"

"Heh, where do you propose we expose them?"

The Heide civilization Commander didn’t turn back, but the question left the Deputy speechless on the spot.

The Three Great Civilizations are the rules themselves. Without catching the most obvious, direct evidence, exposing them publicly in the starry sky, it’s impossible to make one of the Three Great Civilizations comply.

It would only end up as "Who dares accuse an official," and they might even counterattack, causing themselves to suffer.

The Alliance has already experienced this more than once.

Besides, since a move has already been made, how could it be just the Gemini Empire taking action, likely all three are doing similar things.
