A month later, the Undead Fleet Legion I led by Lin Yu appeared at the other end of the cosmic ocean current, the Moras Galaxy. They had successfully completed the Federation's first attempt at understanding the cosmic ocean current.
The entire process could be said to have been extremely smooth. Even the crew's mental state, which was the most likely to cause problems, was handled as normal due to the appropriate rotation arrangements.
However, although they had successfully passed, it had to be said that the entire process was a form of torture.
During this process, they would never know if they were moving forward or how far they were from their destination. They would not even know if the other warships in the fleet were still around.
This … was indeed a form of psychological torture!
However, all of this was over. The entire fleet did not lose a single warship. They were neatly lined up in the void.
"Bai Xuan, order all warships to switch to stealth mode immediately."
"Understood!"
Although Aliya had led the Zergs away, there was no way to confirm if she had left any spies behind. No, it should be said that Aliya would definitely have left some spies behind to monitor the Federation and give her early warning.
After all, the Zergs were so numerous that even if they left some spies in every galaxy, it would not affect the overall situation at all.
When Bai Xuan passed down Lin Yu's order to the entire fleet, the large DEAC devices on all the warships were activated. In just a few seconds, with the help of the Undead grade's unique stealth device, all the warships' defenses were integrated into the background of the universe.
Speaking of which, visual stealth was no longer a novel technology to the Federation. The Undead Fleet's stealth was based on the use of dark energy to simulate the background energy of the universe. This was similar to how Lin Yu relied on DEAC to simulate the environment of a life-preserving planet when he traveled through space. It was a different application of the same technology.
In short, when the Undead Fleet activated stealth mode, no device could detect its existence. This was because all of its characteristics had been simulated to be no different from the background energy of the universe.
In the distance, a Class 5 Zerg King was flying rapidly toward the node of the ocean current.
Just a moment ago, it seemed to have sensed someone invading through the ocean current. However, very quickly, when it carefully sensed the node of the ocean current, it realized that there was nothing out of the ordinary.
One had to know that creatures like the Zergs were not like humans who would often sense things wrongly.
Their senses were very accurate because even though they couldn't sense any abnormalities now, they still flew towards the node to confirm again!
A few minutes later, the exit of the ocean current, which was also the area where it sensed the abnormality, had entered its observation range.
But obviously, it still didn't find anything.
For the first time, the Type 5 Insectoid King started to doubt its senses. Could it have sensed wrongly?
Inside the Herlous Ship, a real-time image was being projected, and on the screen was the Type 5 Insect King that was doubting its life.
"Looks like the stealth mode is equally effective for the Zergs!"
Lin Yu nodded with satisfaction and muttered to himself.
In fact, this was within his expectations.
After all, the Federation had the existence of the "Friends of Humanity" …
The stealth mode of the Nether class had been tested on the ship a long time ago. After the test, Amir said that he could sense that something was wrong in the area where the Nether class battleship was located, but he couldn't really see it or sense it in detail!
Moreover, Amir also said that as an Imperial Zerg, his senses were much stronger than a King Zerg. If it was a King Zerg, there was a high chance that he wouldn't even be able to sense anything!
Of course, although Amir said so, he still had to test it in real life before he could come to a conclusion.
And now, the outcome was obvious. Everything was as Emil had said …
Ordinary King Zergs couldn't sense the Nether class battleship that was in stealth mode, not even the slightest abnormality!
"Staff Team, immediately calculate Aliya's current location."
"Yes, Commander!"
Aliya had been gone for a few months, and even the Federation couldn't directly observe her current location. After all, the distance was too far.
However, with the presence of the "Friends of Humanity", the Federation naturally had precise data on how fast Aliya could travel through the hive tunnel.
If she wanted to return to the Wills Special Supercluster from the Kempinia Supercluster, she had to go through the cosmic current again.
Therefore, Aliya had no choice but to go to the Messelle system 70 million light-years away and enter the cosmic current that led to the Wills Special Supercluster from there.
Even with the hive tunnel opened by Aliya, as an Imperial Zerg, it would take her at least ten months to gather the main force of the Zerg race and reach the Messelle system.
However, the Nether class battleship led by Lin Yu only needed ten days to reach the Messelle system!
In other words, Lin Yu would arrive at the Messelle system before Aliya, and head to the Wills Special Supercluster half a year before her!
"There's no need to continue the test. Order the fleet to set off immediately. Target the Messelle system!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Looking at the Type 5 Imperial Zerg on the screen that had already turned around and left, Lin Yu had lost interest in continuing the test.
-----
Inside the crimson hive tunnel, Aliya was leading the main force of the Zerg army forward.
She could no longer remain calm. Just ten days ago, she had commanded tens of thousands of Zerg swarms in the Wills Special Supercluster to launch a war against the invaders!
Although there were far more than tens of thousands of Zerg swarms in the Wills Special Supercluster, they were still scattered throughout the entire supercluster. If she wanted to gather all of them, it would take at least a few years just to rely on the hive tunnel of the Imperial Zerg!
And these tens of thousands of Zerg swarms were already the largest force that Aliya could gather in the limited time she had.
However, it was clear that without high-tier combat insects and high-tier Imperial Zerg guards, relying on low-tier combat insects alone was not enough to stop the advance of Ipnos. The only thing she could do was delay the enemy slightly …
In these ten days, the tens of thousands of low-tier Zerg swarms were either eaten as rations in the stomachs of the many high-tier lifeforms, or directly killed and crippled.
All in all, it only lasted for ten days, and not a single Zerg could be seen on the entire battlefield anymore.
Finally, what Aliya was most worried about finally happened.
The insectoids no longer had the power to obstruct the biological army led by Ipnos and the hole in Boötes Constellation. According to their speed, Ipnos would reach the periphery of the hole in Boötes Constellation in at most a month.
And if Aliya's Zerg army wanted to go back to reinforce …
It would take at least seven months!!
