With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 545 [Royal Court]

"Is there only this little time left?!"

Chen Fan was startled and subconsciously raised his head to look at the holographic countdown. When he saw the bright red countdown, his face changed completely.

What can you do in twenty minutes?

To put it bluntly, even the entire Z619 fleet cannot upgrade its dimension and leave this universe bubble!
"Academician Wang, then we..."

Chen Fan cast an inquiring look at Wang Jing.

"The Academy's opinion is to evacuate as soon as you regain consciousness." Wang Jing spread her hands helplessly, "Let me be clear with you. At present, ensuring your safety is the Academy's top priority."

Chen Fan's eyes twitched slightly.

Although I know Wang Jing's words are well-intentioned, I don't know why, but I always feel that it sounds a bit weird...

Chen Fan hesitated and glanced at the black light that almost swallowed up the entire starry sky: "If we evacuate now, the problem of naked singularity and black light..."

"I am not sure."

Wang Jing did not hesitate at all and shook her head: "Whether it is a naked singularity or a black light, we have no idea about its formation mechanism."

“We can’t even be sure that leaving it alone won’t lead to something worse.”

"After all, in the past ten hours or so, the naked singularity has indeed accelerated the collapse of the anti-universe bubble to a certain extent."

Wang Jing paused, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again: "In addition... considering that there seems to be some unique connection between you and the Anti-Universe Bubble, I decided to leave the decision to you."

Chen Fan understood instantly.

It turns out that scientific methods can no longer solve the current situation, and the Academy of Sciences can only place its hopes on "metaphysics".

"cough!"

Noticing Chen Fan's strange look, Wang Jing coughed awkwardly: "Don't think the Academy of Sciences is unreliable, kid."

“For completely unknown areas, there is actually not much difference between metaphysics and science.”

Chen Fan laughed dumbly.

Although the words were rough, the logic was valid. He could understand what Wang Jing said.

Compared to lower civilizations, higher civilizations do often display some god-like methods.

Unfortunately……

In the face of completely unknown naked singularities and black rays, the dignified Human Union has also become a "low-level civilization" with shallow qualifications.

While sighing in his heart, Chen Fan turned his gaze back to the deep starry sky outside the porthole.

Just as Wang Jing said, although it is not clear why, there is indeed some strange connection between him and the anti-universe - this was true when the anti-universe bubble had not yet collapsed, and it was even more so when the anti-universe bubble collapsed. Even now, after the crisis of the anti-universe bubble collapse has been resolved, this strange sense of panic as if he is about to lose something important still exists.

"If it were up to me to make the decision..."

Chen Fan's eyes swept across the main battleships in the starry sky, and finally stopped on the surging black light.

Looking at the black light that diffused in the starry sky and slowly eroded the entire universe like a virus, he couldn't help but feel dazed.

Faintly, he seemed to hear bursts of shrill wailing in his ears——

This is the wail of the cosmic bubble when it faces destruction.

After a short wait, the wailing gradually faded away, leaving only a faint sense of fear in Chen Fan's heart.

"I... don't want to evacuate."

"The naked singularity problem has not been solved. The giant scorpions have been preparing their killer moves for such a long time. If we leave it alone, it may bring more difficult problems."

"Of course, the most crucial reason..."

With the help of Isa, Chen Fan, who had regained some energy, stood up from his seat with difficulty. He stared at Wang Jing in the communication interface very seriously: "Just like what you said, Academician Wang, my intuition tells me that this crisis is not completely over."

"I understand."

Wang Jing understood. She nodded and raised her hand to press the control panel in front of her: "In this case, I will submit an application for residency to the Academy of Sciences."

"In fact, I also want to stay and conduct a deeper study on these black rays."

A hint of excitement flashed in the depths of Wang Jing's calm eyes: "Maybe... this thing contains the secret of time technology?"

……

Apophis star field.

The hideous giant cosmic bubble lies quietly on the long and winding hyperspace membrane. It is like a huge tumor, madly absorbing nutrients from the hyperspace membrane.

The core area inside the cosmic bubble.

A faint stream of information appeared in the starry sky without warning.

The next second, a giant scorpion slowly emerged from the rapidly dissipating information flow.

The starry sky filled with nebula matter is filled with glow of various colors. The intensity of the glow is related to the density of the matter and the stars passing through this star field. The more stars "passing by" a certain area of ​​the starry sky, the more brilliant the glow in this star field will appear.

But this splendor often does not last long.

This is common sense in this universe - the gravitational system of the entire universe is chaotic, and those planets that have been wandering around the universe since their birth naturally cannot stop for no reason.

The giant scorpion's four eyes, glowing scarlet, swept across the gorgeous starry sky in front of it. It did not pay attention to the gorgeous nebula that changed drastically every once in a while, but focused its attention on the only dozens of unusually deep and dark areas in this gorgeous starry sky.

That's a black hole.

To be more precise, it is a super black hole formed by the fusion of countless black holes of different sizes.

The scale of each super black hole exceeds 10 billion light years. If they were placed in a regular cosmic bubble, all the matter in the universe would be easily swallowed up in just a blink of an eye!

These dozens of super black holes, which are comparable to regular cosmic bubbles, are scattered irregularly in this star field, flying around in a violent manner.

The chaotic system of this super-large cosmic bubble also had a perfect explanation at this moment.

——These clustered supermassive black holes move in the central region of the universe in completely unpredictable trajectories.

Every leap will cause a powerful space-time fluctuation in the starry sky that is enough to tear apart some small cosmic bubbles.

These violent space-time fluctuations and chaotic microgravity systems directly created this cosmic bubble that has always been in a chaotic state.

[The Royal Court...]

Along with a ray of bright white light emanating from the hideous fleshy wings on the giant scorpion's back, the giant scorpion's figure disappeared into the starry sky again, leaving only a faint stream of information that gradually moved away and finally dissipated into the vast starry sky.

When the giant scorpion reappeared, it had already reached the edge of one of the super black holes.

Facing this huge monster that brought deep darkness everywhere, a solemn look appeared in the giant scorpion's eyes.

[The King's Court] is the core area of ​​the entire universe. At the same time, it is also the most dangerous area in the universe.

Even many of its clansmen encountered accidents during the process of entering the [Royal Court].

It took a deep breath, and the scorpion tail that was previously dangling casually in the starry sky curled up, and the eight pairs of gastropods on its abdomen were tightly clasped together - doing so could minimize the probability of damage to the body, and in the Apophis clan, this was considered a fairly standard textbook method.

hum...

Almost at the same time as it curled up into a ball, a faint bright yellow light came from the giant scorpion's chest. With each flash, the giant scorpion's body became more illusory.

Then, accompanied by a bright white light lighting up from the fleshy wings on the back, a stream of information quietly transmitted towards the super black hole in front that seemed to be able to swallow everything in the world.

After a short wait.

A wave that was imperceptible to others spread out from the inside of the black hole. The accretion disk that was previously rotating at high speed around the black hole was instantly stagnant for 1 Planck time in this wave.

In this gap of 1 Planck time, the giant scorpion's already illusory figure suddenly disappeared in the starry sky.

Rumble…

The super black hole began to rotate again, and under the influence of the macroscopic gravity brought by the other black holes, it rushed towards the distant starry sky.

Along the way, countless nebular materials and various unfortunate planets and stars have become food for this super black hole.

……

[King, I received a distress signal from my tribe.]

The giant scorpion crawled on the ground of the [King's Court] with its body prostrated and an expression of respect.

Its body is already large enough, even far larger than ordinary stars in the conventional universe, but compared with the [Royal Court] in front of it, it is still as small as an ant.

This is a "palace" built inside a supermassive black hole, a gigantic structure whose scale is measured in millions of light years.

Right in front of it, a giant scorpion with a slightly bloated body and flashes of cold light on its body surface was opening its mouthparts and piercing directly into a huge star whose surface was filled with orange-red light.

Unlike ordinary giant scorpions, the back abdomen of this one is particularly bulging. At first glance, it looks like an inverted cone.

And inside this cone, there are countless densely packed scorpion eggs.

This is a queen insect.

shuh...

As it thrust its mouthparts into the star before it, an astonishing scene appeared in the spacious [Royal Court].

This orange-red star first expanded dramatically at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then shrank rapidly. The light on its surface also went through three different stages: orange-red, dark red, and blue-white. Finally, under the gaze of the giant scorpion, the last trace of blue-white light dimmed, and the main sequence star in its prime turned into a dark, inconspicuous planet - from a main sequence star to a red giant, from a red giant to a white dwarf, and finally from a white dwarf to a black dwarf. In just a few tens of seconds, this main sequence star completed its life journey of billions or even tens of billions of years.

During this process, the cone on the queen's abdomen also lit up with a faint orange light, as if all the substances the queen absorbed from the star were transported to this bloated organ.

[The star has too much carbon, which will affect the strength of the next batch of daughter bodies.]

[Remember to look for stars with lower carbon content in the future. ]

After receiving a positive response, the queen insect waved her abdomen and threw the black dwarf in front of her aside casually, then slowly lowered her head and cast her gaze on the giant scorpion that had been lying in front of her.

[Signal for help?]

The white light on the queen's back kept flashing, and streams of information flowed toward the giant scorpion: [What kind of distress signal is this? ]

[A signal from the worker scorpion? Or a signal from the colonies?]

Faced with a king that was a hundred times larger than itself, the giant scorpion crawled deeper into the water.

【neither. 】

[It is... it is a distress signal sent by Bingxie. 】

Wow! !

There was a commotion coming from the front, and the giant scorpion raised its eyes cautiously and glanced in the direction of the king.

[Soldier Scorpion... It turned out to be a distress signal sent by the Soldier Scorpion...]

A bluish-purple light flickered beneath the queen's armor. Clearly, she was not feeling calm at the moment: [Another new membrane civilization?]

Under the giant scorpion's gaze, the queen swarmed her abdomen, straightened her bloated body, and let out a high-pitched hiss: [Troops, assemble!]

【Start black hole jump! 】

[For the ultimate! Launch an attack on the target star field! ! ]

Amid the queen insect's hissing, the huge royal court became lively in the blink of an eye.

[Expedition! Expedition! Expedition! ! ! !]

Streams of information came out from the corners of the royal court, quickly converging into a howling storm of information: [Plunder! Plunder all available resources! ]

[For the ultimate! For the glory of the king! ]

In the increasingly fierce information storm, giant scorpions emerged from the darkness. After paying their respects to the queen insect, they rushed out of the royal court.

【Wang, please wait! 】

Seeing such a grand scene, the giant scorpion's body couldn't help but tremble: [I haven't finished speaking yet, I... haven't obtained the other party's coordinate information yet. ]

【…】

For an instant.

It was as if the pause button had been pressed, and the heated information storm in the royal court dissipated in an instant. The soldier scorpions, which were several times or even dozens of times larger than it, stopped their actions and turned to look at it questioningly.

But compared to the death stares of those soldier scorpions, the king's silence undoubtedly made it more uneasy.

[…No coordinate information? ]

The queen insect spoke slowly, her calm tone revealing a deep chill: [Why is there no coordinate information? ! ]

[I, I don't know!] Facing the king's scrutiny, the giant scorpion's body trembled more and more violently, [The distress message I received was incomplete, maybe...]

An idea flashed through the giant scorpion's mind: [The enemy is too powerful, and those soldier scorpions don't have time to send out a complete distress signal. ]

Having said this, it hurriedly transmitted the information it had previously received to the queen insect.

【…】

After a long silence, the queen let out a long sigh: [The signal was interrupted, and it does not contain any coordinate information...]

The moment the conclusion was delivered, the atmosphere in the royal court became more depressing again.

This is trouble.

Without coordinate information, everything is useless.

We have finally encountered a new membrane civilization in the universe, are we going to lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
A hint of unwillingness emerged in the queen insect's eyes.

suddenly.

It seemed to have sensed something and slightly widened its scarlet eyes.

Feeling the tiny sounds quietly appearing in her mind, the resentment in the eyes of the queen insect quickly dissipated, replaced by a little hesitation and excitement.

This is……

The ultimate voice!

After hundreds of millions of years, it finally heard the voice of [Ultimate] again!!
