"When we defeat those bastards, I'll take you to Earth. I've heard that planet is beautiful... and I know an Earthling who says there's a dish called scrambled eggs with tomatoes on his home planet that's incredibly delicious! Let's go eat it together!"
The captain licked his lips, imagining the deliciousness of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Although he had no idea what a tomato or an egg was.
Perhaps it's a type of food made from plants and the eggs of some animal.
"Captain, it's a deal then, let's go to Earth together..."
As soon as the voice on the communicator finished, the broadcast started on every shuttle and giant warship.
[Proxima Centauri drone fleet, QU detected.]
[The Proxima Centauri drone fleet is preparing to launch an attack.]
And no more electromagnetic waves for communication were transmitted from the human defense line.
This bustling outer space was as silent as ever.
Countless shuttles and warships, like cold corpses, ceased to send any messages.
Because everyone is waiting, waiting for the battle report from the front lines.
Awaiting humanity's final fate.
Less than ten minutes.
The announcement finally came on again.
Moreover, this broadcast clearly did not bring any good results.
The Proxima Centauri drone fleet was completely annihilated within seven minutes of contact with QU!
A despairing silence.
That drone fleet, stretching like a long river, is composed of hundreds of millions of warships!
Was it destroyed within just seven minutes of contact with QU?
Is human resistance really so vulnerable, so easily shattered?
In conclusion, humanity's last hope has been shattered.
On the front line, all electromagnetic waves remained silent.
Several tens of minutes passed.
The humans on the front lines can now see with the naked eye that QU is flying in from the depths of space, looking like a demon.
That wasn't even QU's army, maybe it was just... some of QU's toys?
The broadcast continued, with the final announcement.
The announcer's voice was also incredibly heavy.
The frontline drone fleet has failed.
It seems we are destined for destruction.
Goodbye, everyone.
That concludes the broadcast.
And that's where humanity ends.
"how so!"
The captain gritted his teeth, tears streaming down his face.
"Why did this happen?! Why destroy humanity?!"
The captain turned around in the cockpit, wanting to take one last look at the Earth he had always longed for.
But... it's too far away, so I can't see anything.
Only an endless human fleet lay behind them.
The captain turned around and looked resolutely at QU in front of him.
Then, decisively, the manual throttle was activated, and the shuttle's thrusters emitted high-temperature plasma, propelling the shuttle forward.
This shuttle, like a spark, instantly ignited the human fleet.
Countless shuttles and warships spewed out plasma tails as they sped toward QU.
Meanwhile, the asteroids and planets that had been transformed into war fortresses began to charge up their planetary cannons and launch them toward QU.
A war, one that humanity willingly chose, has begun.
The shuttle piloted by the captain was the first to rush towards QU, thus becoming the leading shuttle and the vanguard of humanity.
Come on, come on!
"QU! No matter how powerful you are!"
"Humanity will never admit defeat, and humanity will never perish!"
The captain pulled the trigger on the control stick, firing a laser beam towards QU.
Other warships and shuttles also began their attack.
The dense barrage of attacks even illuminated the area; if someone were outside the Milky Way, they might think a star had been born there.
Then, QU responded to human tools.
That was a beam of light that represented destruction.
Human attacks, falling into that beam of light, are like water droplets falling into the ocean.
It didn't even cause a ripple.
The captain looked before him and was enveloped in an endless expanse of white.
It has no color at all, just pure white.
This is QU's attack, just a normal attack.
But the captain just kept pulling the trigger, firing beams of light at the enemy.
Shoot, shoot, shoot...
I want to crush the enemy.
But the white object in front of us is getting closer and closer.
The ray of destruction was already close at hand.
White, oh white...
White light.
A white light enveloped the entire human fleet.
The captain instinctively buried his face in his arms because the light was too blinding.
But it's not a big problem. I'm going to die in the next second anyway, so what action do I take to die? I'm still going to die.
"Why--???"
The captain quickly raised his head.
Then several more seconds passed.
"...Am I not dead?"
The captain looked in surprise at his unharmed body, and then saw the view outside the shuttle.
"No, that's it!"
"Red...white? No...it's red and white..."
The captain took a breath—
"giant!!!"
Chapter 84 (Bonus Chapter) Awaits Humanity!!!
One, a giant in red and white.
It suddenly appeared in front of the human fleet, blocking QU's attack for the human fleet.
The sudden appearance of the unknown giant, which withstood QU's attack, protected humanity.
This action brought both humans and QU into a tacit standstill.
Especially humans.
They were incredibly curious as to why this suddenly appearing giant would shield humanity from attacks.
Is it to compete with QU for ownership of humanity?
It's not that humans don't believe in giants, but rather that the first extraterrestrial civilization humans encountered was QU.
Then, obviously, the QU treated humanity like insects and easily destroyed most of their civilization.
Therefore, it's not that humans don't believe in giants that suddenly appear, but rather that humans are afraid to believe in giants.
Humans are not qualified to believe.
They are too weak.
They are not even worthy of being pawns of other civilizations in this universe.
So, humanity simply watched all of this quietly.
Will a battle break out between the Giants and QU?
In that case, perhaps humanity can still have a chance...
And the giant spoke.
What's even stranger is that the giants spoke in a human language.
No, it should be that all the humans present heard the giant's voice and then translated it into their own language.
After all, humans are now incredibly diverse, with a multitude of languages, yet they all understand the giants' words.
