The final space jump brought them directly near their destination.
As the five accompanying fleets, totaling 66 different aircraft carriers, frigates, and battleships, arrived in the Arena Galaxy, all ships activated their defensive shields and assumed combat formations.
No one knew if the enemy had set an ambush. They might fire a planet-destroying cannon from tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of kilometers away.
Don't doubt it. The Royal carrier Kaito was on could easily do that too, even farther!
That's how strong it was.
However, they were still a long way from the actual destination. After arriving in the Arena Galaxy, this entire region of ten sectors had become the battlefield.
After all, no one would wait for the enemy to bring their fleet right in front of their planet to start a war.
If that happened, a simple "mistake" could blow up their planet!
"Basically, five fleets are enough to crush the enemy. The scale of this rebel force isn't too large. They have just over thirty aircraft carriers and battleships in total."
Inside the combat command room, the chief commander explained the strengths and weaknesses of both sides to Kaito.
They already outnumbered the enemy in quantity, and in quality, the enemy was even more lacking.
These rebels had purchased a large number of advanced aircraft carriers and other ships from technologically advanced civilizations.
Otherwise, with their original configuration, even without Kaito's involvement, they could have been eliminated.
Depending on the situation, they might lose a few aircraft carriers or battleships, or maybe suffer no losses.
Because battle wasn't just about the quality of aircraft carriers and battleships; it also depended on strategy and coordination.
If the enemy all targeted the same ship, no matter how strong its shields or how effective its interceptors, it wouldn't hold.
"Mm... give the order to locate the enemy as quickly as possible. Once found, you just need to take care of the minions. Leave the rest to me."
"But... Your Majesty... we're fighting a space war, not a ground war..."
"It doesn't matter. Just follow the order. I will annihilate them."
Kaito spoke again to the chief commander in a tone that brooked no argument, then silently watched the large screen as they searched for the enemy.
Ten minutes later...
After advancing several hundred light-years, they finally detected a few battleships and an aircraft carrier hidden behind a lifeless star. Their coordinates were identified.
The enemy had also deployed a large number of drones for harassment. Simultaneously, various battleship silhouettes began appearing in the surrounding area.
They were surrounded.
First came the attack and interference from swarms of drones, followed by a relentless barrage of various beam cannons.
Naturally, all the ships and carriers activated their energy shields and returned fire.
Kaito stepped out of the Royal carrier, floating above it, witnessing the scene.
He couldn't breathe, but he used magic to do so and could also move freely in space.
The temperature, radiation, or anything else in space had no effect on him, nor on Baal and Beelzebul who followed him.
However, normal conversation wasn't possible; they needed magic or technology to communicate.
But Kaito was fine with just magic.
"Alright, you two stay here."
"When ground combat is needed, Kaito, we'll let you take the lead."
Even Baal and Beelzebul couldn't destroy a large fleet in a short time.
Those energy shields were there for a reason.
...
When a ship's shields reached their limit, even if they diverted all power to them, they would still break.
So, Kaito floated alone in space, then teleported in front of several battleships and one mothership.
At this moment, Kaito's figure was once again the center of attention across worlds. The Royal carrier and other frigates recorded from a great distance.
Although there was no sound, they could see Kaito's tiny figure facing off against battleships and a mothership thousands to tens of thousands of meters long.
Similarly, Kaito started the live broadcast. Irisviel and the others watched. Since Yunyun wasn't in the chat group, she watched via Akina's phone with the holographic projection mode.
Well, since Yunyun was bound, she could see, but she couldn't interact.
"Phew... what language are they speaking?"
The enemy, seeing Kaito floating alone in space facing them, naturally asked a question.
But Kaito, having forgotten his translator (Bluetooth earpiece), couldn't understand them at all, nor did he need to hear what they said.
However, they weren't polite. All their cannons aimed at him.
As Kaito spread the original rock cube into space, he was bombarded by beams and various terrifying missiles.
For a moment, Kaito's position was particularly brilliant. But as the bombardment continued, Kaito waved his hand and swatted all the attacks away.
When his figure reappeared, many were terrified to see him completely unharmed.
As he raised his right hand towards them, a massive nebula and black hole had, at some point, appeared above the enemy mothership!
'Tch, just a moon-sized meteorite, and they couldn't defend.'
He didn't use much effort. As the moon-sized meteorite fell from a height of 100,000 kilometers in space at a speed of 100,000 kilometers per second, the enemy mothership and battleships automatically detected it and diverted all power to their energy shields for maximum defense.
Many of them didn't even have time to look at the meteorite above their heads...
"..."
Boom boom boom boom boom boom—
The meteorite effortlessly shattered the mothership, and the resulting explosion also destroyed the surrounding battleships!
Even the five fleets on the Royal side were slightly jolted by the shockwave.
One could imagine the power of the meteorite's impact and the intensity of the subsequent explosion!
Especially the speed of the meteorite's descent; at such a short distance, it was impossible to defend against!!!
