Chapter 255: A Tiny Planet

All officials and scholars believed that the Olive Branch Civilization's massive army was approaching.

However, 103 years later, the so-called massive army turned out to be a tiny planet with a diameter of 129 kilometers.

The tiny planet remained in the starry sky, and then disappeared through a wormhole without a trace of any warships.

"What is that?"

Not only the Federation but also 8672804 in Star City had the same question.

Over the years, it had been researching why the Olive Branch Civilization wanted to destroy it. It wasn't stupid; even a fool would have figured out the truth after a hundred years.

Soon, it guessed that there might have been an error in the shared consciousness cluster of Star City, and the two fleets might have been "their own people."

It began to analyze the shared consciousness cluster and indeed found a loophole.

The source of this loophole pointed to the Civilization Federation.

The Civilization Federation, after realizing that it couldn't resist the glory of the Olive Branch Civilization, took the opportunity to plant a virus in the life forms of Star City, a virus that would alter the cognition of Star City's life.

After discovering this, 8672804 was extremely furious.

It quickly sent a message to the Civilization Federation, but there was no response from within the Federation.

Obviously, the Federation was unwilling to believe it.

8672804 was so upset that it wanted to cry.

It thought this was a good thing, but it never expected that after a few hundred years, it would become the leader of the villains.

Over the years, it had been sending messages indicating that it had already fixed this loophole and that similar mistakes would not happen again.

However, the wormhole was still established, and the tiny planet was also sent over.

8672804 was both confused and terrified. It knew that the Civilization Federation would definitely not let it go, and now, after causing such a huge loss, the only option for the Federation was to err on the side of caution and not let it go.

"It's over, now I must save myself, no no no... I should immediately board a spaceship and go back, allowing myself to be imprisoned."

"That won't work either; maybe it will be destroyed as soon as it reaches the outskirts of Star City."

"Ah ah ah~ I'm going crazy!"

8672804 was so anxious that it went mad. In the end, it decided to give up.

"Forget it, let me die, I've lived long enough anyway."

It struggled internally, and this struggle lasted for 18 years.

However, the tiny planet, which was only 0.22 light-years away from Star City, never moved; it just stayed there quietly.

8672804 used a telescope to observe it and found some metal pipes on the surface of the tiny planet.

"I knew it, it's either a battleship or a weapon," 8672804 said without much hope.

At this time, the shared consciousness cluster also believed so. The entire shared consciousness cluster constantly watched the tiny planet, but the tiny planet just moved in a specific orbit in that starry sky, repeating its motion without any intention of attacking.

The only thing that drew attention was that the tiny planet was constantly approaching Star City. This approach was very natural, most likely influenced by Star City and the star, and it was also very slow, moving only a few hundred meters each year, which was extremely slow for the starry sky. Even an ant wouldn't crawl that slowly.

"It should be a new type of weapon."

"A wormhole weapon? Or something else, I can't think of anything else."

"Maybe something went wrong, causing the propulsion system to be damaged?"

"It's also possible that the weapon itself can only move this slowly, and it's waiting for a trigger."

The shared consciousness cluster analyzed repeatedly, but just as the Federation currently didn't know the status of Star City and couldn't analyze the war situation, they also couldn't determine what the tiny planet was, nor could they figure out why the tiny planet was moving so slowly.

A heavy sense of crisis oppressed the entire Star City.

Although the shared consciousness cluster was very similar to a machine, it wasn't one. When the same emotion erupted within the majority of the life forms that made up the shared consciousness cluster, that emotion would spread throughout the entire shared consciousness cluster, which meant that the shared consciousness cluster also had emotions.

And now, this emotion was panic.

Like Star City, the Federation was also facing this problem.

"What exactly is that tiny planet?"

Feini Li and the organization began analyzing its mass, material composition, and so on, but the analysis results couldn't reveal the answer.

It was just like a tiny planet, not some kind of battleship or weapon.

"It should be a superweapon unique to the Olive Branch Civilization, but we don't know what effect this weapon has now."

"It's aimed at us, it seems that Star City is indeed on the side of the Olive Branch Civilization."

Feini Li looked at the data; the tiny planet was approaching them at a speed of 600 kilometers per year. Although it was slow, the distance between the two was a full 7 light-years. Eventually, it would reach them.

The main reason was still that they didn't know what type of weapon the tiny planet was.

"With such a slow speed, could it be that they want us to actively investigate and then trigger something, like a landmine?"

"That's possible."

Everyone was analyzing, but based on the observation data, the tiny planet was constantly accelerating, which obviously defied physics. There must be something inside the tiny planet pushing it forward.

"Why don't we fire a cannon to destroy it?" a scholar suggested.

Even if that thing was a weapon, what could it do from such a distance? Could it affect them from 7 light-years away?

"Let's try, it shouldn't be that easy."

The cannon was prepared, and 7 years later, it hit the target.

However, the information indicated: "The target was hit, but it seemed like it wasn't hit."

The target that should have been hit was still approaching, and its shape hadn't changed at all. They had fired a star-destroying energy cannon, but it didn't cause any damage to that thing?

"Try again."

Another 7 years passed, but it still didn't work.

"If it really doesn't work, let's directly send a spaceship to land and see what its structure is."

"Use an android."

The landing plan was quickly initiated. The spaceship approached the tiny planet but lost contact instantly. Two years later, the spaceship reappeared, already on its return journey.

Feini Li ordered the spaceship to transmit the 2-year log back, but there was no response.

"Destroy that spaceship!" was the final decision they had to make.

They couldn't confirm whether the spaceship had undergone any modifications and had something else added to it.

"No matter what it is, find a way to prevent it from approaching us, no matter the cost."

"The second war with the Olive Branch Civilization has already begun; don't let your guard down."

The threat of the Olive Branch Civilization was approaching.

A heavy sense of tension quietly spread within every life form of the Federation at the end of the Universe Silk Road.

Star City and the Federation simultaneously felt the enormous pressure from the Olive Branch Civilization.
