Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 445 The Observer, the Nature of Space

puff!
With a sweep of his right hand, Bai Cangshu sent Qingyun's stiff face flying into the air, instantly turning it into charred remains by the terrifying heat and flames.

Blood gushed from his neck, but the face on his chest remained unresponsive.

“You know very well that there is no point in doing this kind of thing.”

"Life and death are merely two states of information; to us, there is no difference."

The multifaceted alien made no move, but a new head reappeared, and the face of this head had changed to a different appearance that Bai Cangshu had never seen before.

"This is my third attempt to communicate with beings like you. I believe that this time, you will no longer be identified by the great being that dominates you."

Bai Cangshu realized that the two attempts mentioned by the multifaceted aliens were probably the two previous attempts in which the space had identified the reincarnators as targets that needed to be eliminated.

In other words, contact with multifaceted aliens is a taboo, and multifaceted aliens can exert strong influence on reincarnators, even rendering the rules of spatial obliteration ineffective.

【Annihilation】This is the most fundamental control effect of space over reincarnators. It is the fundamental dominance that allows reincarnators to continuously carry out various tasks according to the will of space.

So far, Bai Cangshu has not heard of any ability or item that exempts from obliteration. If compared with the abilities of reincarnators, the space's [obliteration] is probably a high-priority ability to designate someone to die instantly. Because it has information on all reincarnators, the space can designate certain reincarnators who have not completed their tasks to die instantly according to the rules.

In the original Infinite Terror, after the Gene Lock breaks through the fourth-order inner demon, the main god can no longer erase it.

Therefore, in an infinite dimensional space, there may also exist some kind of rule that can resist [annihilation].

Moreover, what the infinite dimensional space has always needed most, or rather, the essence of all the abilities and items in this infinite dimensional space, lies in [information].

Singularities are special [information], and the Crimson Drop Cards of Reincarnators are also cards that record all the [information] of Reincarnators.

The multidimensional technology of the multifaceted aliens and the rules of the infinite dimensional space, to some extent, converge on [information].

"What you call 'erasure' is actually just deleting 'information'. The way I prevented those two from being 'erased' is also very simple. We just need to modify the 'information' so that the great being behind you can no longer identify the location of those two pieces of 'information' and thus cannot directly erase them."

"But at the same time, because modifying the [information] will also make them unable to be recalled, thus losing their value to us."

The multifaceted aliens' utilization of information is astonishingly high; they are another being besides the goddess of space who can completely read Bai Cangshu's thoughts.

Bai Cangshu greatly admired their communication style, which was far more efficient than that of the goddess. There was no element of riddles involved, and Bai Cangshu didn't even need to ask questions; they explained everything he wanted to know.

Bai Cangshu doesn't need to speak; he only needs to think to get the answer.

He quickly realized that the multifaceted aliens didn't have any "malice" towards him. They needed him, specifically the kind of need that allowed him to return to the space. That's why they said they wouldn't be recognized by the space this time.

Therefore, the nuclear bombings of Osaka and Tokyo were their way of disrupting spatial perception.

"The emotion of malice is merely a reaction produced by neurons and hormones in low-dimensional organisms like humans; it is inefficient and meaningless."

"A nuclear explosion in Tokyo and Osaka would cause massive human deaths and completely disrupt the timeline, resulting in a huge amount of calculations and changes. This would put the great being behind you into a brief 'full load' state. Therefore, we have 38 seconds to communicate."

Bai Cangshu understood from the Multifaceted Alien's unhurried communication style that the other party was fully prepared to make a deal with him.

Therefore, Bai Cangshu was not worried that he would not be able to convince himself in thirty-odd seconds. Therefore, he did not intend to continue to dwell on the boring questions of what the other party wanted him to do or whether he should do it.

In those situations, the initiative always lies with oneself. "Can you tell me, what exactly is the purpose of this so-called great entity behind us?"

"Or rather, why is He wary of us communicating with you?"

This is a question that will almost never be answered in other worlds.

Few among the reincarnators care anymore about what the [Infinite Dimensional Space] is or where it came from.

Perhaps it's because they can't get an answer no matter what, or perhaps it's because in recent years, works of the "infinite" genre have deeply penetrated people's hearts through various channels, making the reincarnators more or less accept the concept of "infinite".

But at this moment, the multifaceted aliens might have a different answer.

"As a race that is becoming [Observers], we are not yet able to observe [Observers] in another universe, so I cannot answer your question."

The multifaceted aliens did not directly answer Bai Cangshu's question, but they did offer the concept of an "observer," which is probably what identity in the infinite dimensional space means to the multifaceted aliens, or something like status or authority.

"One last question, multifaceted aliens. If you can answer me, I will do business with you no matter what you offer."

At this moment, with less than ten seconds remaining, Bai Cangshu looked at the human face on the chest of the reincarnator and asked a key question that many reincarnators and characters in the story had repeatedly asked him since he entered the space.

"Since you believe that humans are not special and life is not noble, then in your understanding, what is the 'heart'? Does the so-called 'heart' truly possess power that transcends the material world?"

Faced with this question, the multifaceted alien clearly paused for a moment, whether in thought or searching for information. This question was more difficult for the multifaceted alien to answer.

When Bai Cangshu asked this question, he was also thinking about the things that people like Corey, Shigeo Kageyama, and Saitama cared about, for a race like the Multifaceted Aliens who had completely eliminated the human sense of good and evil due to their advanced evolution.

Is there any point in it?

To the multifaceted aliens, bombarding two large cities with nuclear weapons and killing millions or even tens of millions of humans is probably no different from a human child pouring hot water on an ant nest out of interest.

So, because of this kind of thing, because those ants can die easily, be easily discarded, and even be easily resurrected, and because humans can be easily created, does it have any different meaning in giving rise to other thoughts?

Bai Cangshu was very curious. He wanted to see clearly whether those guys' strength was due to this kind of "heart," or simply because they were strong enough to have the luxury of possessing a so-called noble "heart."

Bai Cangshu felt the high temperature on his body surface beginning to subside, the aftershocks of the nuclear explosion were about to dissipate, and his body had suffered considerable radiation and distortion.

That's the kind of death an ordinary person would experience very quickly.

But for Bai Cangshu, it's just a matter of spending a little time to recover.

If necessary, he can destroy his body bit by bit and then use his immortality to regenerate.

"With our current understanding, the so-called mind is nothing more than a resonant mode caused by quantum vacuum fluctuations in a carbon-based carrier. All discussions about free will, moral intuition, or aesthetic experience are essentially poetic misinterpretations of a specific realization of the second law of thermodynamics."

"However, the 21 grams of information that humans possess will undergo unknown changes because of this thing."

The multifaceted alien's body began to disintegrate. He reached out his hand one last time, and Bai Cangshu simultaneously canceled the passive defense of the No Limit Technique. The multifaceted alien's fingers touched Bai Cangshu's body.

“Your soul is heavier than usual; what you call your ‘heart’ is that weight…”
