Chapter 94: Love from the "Insect"

In order to investigate the doubts in his heart, Graywind followed the signal's instructions and went to the coordinates mentioned in the signal.

She was like an elf wandering in the void, completely unaffected by the gravitational field of the black hole singularity, and arrived at her destination simply by opening a wormhole portal.

Subsequently, Graywind detected spatial distortion and strange gravitational lensing effects at this coordinate location.

Gravitational lensing occurs when light passes near a massive celestial body, such as a neutron star or a black hole. The gravitational field of the celestial body warps the surrounding spacetime, causing the light's path to bend, much like passing through a lens.

However, the gravitational lensing effect at this coordinate position is different.

The path of the light is like writing some kind of data.

Graywind patiently deciphered and interpreted the data, but in the process, another unexpected event occurred.

"The communication channel between the sub-individual and the main body is being interfered with..."

Subsequently, Graywind discovered that his sub-individual clone was being squeezed by a powerful gravitational force. This force did not originate from the central black hole of the nearby M81 galaxy, but was mixed in with the black hole's gravity.

"Consciousness data is being indexed; psionic resistance is ineffective..."

Graywind's crystalline eyes widened, and every nanometer unit that made up her individual avatar trembled.

A familiar phrase echoed in her AI system.

"Greywind, come to my side..."

"Boss? No, that's not right..."

The surrounding spacetime is undergoing a dramatic upheaval, and she is being pulled into another spacetime.

In a fleeting glance, she caught a glimpse of a horrifying scene.

A source of light, like a tiny sun, shone with a strange radiance in the boundless void; its existence seemed to be nothing more than a phantom.

Under the light of this phantom, a concept concerning "a creature of enormous size" was transmitted into Graywind's consciousness data.

Like a storm sweeping through tree branches, an external force is interfering with the consciousness of her clone.

"The Time Insect!"

Subsequently, all communications were forcibly cut off, and all contact was completely lost.

On the United Star, Graywind frowned.

"Disappeared?"

Her avatar, which had traveled to the M81 galaxy, completely disappeared at the coordinates that were transmitted back, and could no longer communicate.

There were no debris left behind, and the space at the coordinates returned to normal, with no further spatial distortions or anomalies observed.

Aside from the phrase "Time Worm" before disappearing, the clone didn't leave many clues about its disappearance.

Losing one clone wouldn't cause any harm to Graywind.

But she had to figure out exactly why this clone had been lost.

The Federation fleet deployed in the M81 system immediately began a blockade, sealing off all star systems near the central black hole of the M81 system.

In reality, that entire star system had already been blasted into a bunch of black hole singularities by the Federation's intergalactic attack.

Before the Federation fleet arrived in the M81 system, a large group of "Boundary Breakers" had gathered there.

Those "Boundary Breakers" could have left the M81 star system in time to avoid losses, but for some reason they gathered in the star system and were unwilling to leave until they were destroyed.

Could these "boundary breakers" be related to that coordinate location?

From the data cracked at that coordinate location, Gray Wind discovered that it contained an understanding and application of a certain spatiotemporal technology.

The understanding and application of these spacetime technologies, after being shared with the research department, immediately caught the attention of Hidra, who was in seclusion at the time.

Where did you obtain this data from?

Graywind transmitted everything that had happened to Hidra without reservation.

On the other end of the communication, Hidra remained silent for a moment, then said:
"Stay in touch with me at all times and tell me about any activity at that coordinate as quickly as possible..."

“This data can help us crack those two devices.” “No problem,” Graywind agreed.

From this perspective, sacrificing one clone was still worthwhile.

Perhaps this cannot be called a sacrifice; the word "sacrifice" would be more appropriate to describe this event.

They sacrificed one of their clones in exchange for obtaining that data.

Is such a sacrifice only offered once?

What exactly is this "Time Worm" mentioned before the clone was sacrificed?
While Graywind was pondering, the central black hole of the M81 galaxy became active again.

From the darkness at the edge of the black hole's gravitational field, many cyclical signals were intermittently transmitted.

But this time, the audio information mixed in with the signal sounded more like... her voice!
In the signal, Gray Wind's voice whispered as if reciting poetry:
"The past is the future..."

"The future is the past..."

What followed was the coordinates mentioned in the previous signal.

This coordinate location has now been named "Exit" by Graywind.

Graywind listened to his own voice in the signal and felt it was eerily strange.

But soon, in the signal, she mentioned another name:
"Hidden, come to me..."

The offerings have changed?
After Graywind transferred the data to Hydra, Hydra hesitated for a long time before deciding to send a nanobottom to the M81 system to investigate, just like Graywind had done.

But a terrible scene unfolded once again.

Space is distorted, and the enormous ripples generated by gravity tear spacetime apart.

During this process, Hidra's sub-individual clones patiently read the relevant data.

This time, Hydra's sub-individual clone did not disappear immediately; she read and transmitted more data back.

While Graywind and Hydra, who were far away on United Star, were monitoring the event through the Sentinel Array, along with a large group of research staff assisting them, some of them suspected that the matter was not so simple.

But just as they were worrying that something was about to happen, it was all too late.

Hydra's sub-individual clones stopped rigidly interpreting the data; she started making predictions!

This prediction is quite frightening; it's like solving a math problem before the question even appears, and she's already trying to provide the answer and the solution.

In the telemetry of the research department, the initial results of the telemetry were completely inconsistent with the predicted results, but after only a few seconds, they became completely consistent with the predicted results.

When a large amount of predicted data was transmitted back, the entire research department fell silent.

Even Hidra and Graywind showed signs of unusual tension.

Because Hydra is losing some kind of control over this sub-individual clone.

While predicting the outcome, that individual clone was also constantly sending back strange messages.

"It seems like I've traveled through time..."

There's nothing here, just complete darkness...

"In the darkness, we survived together... no, there is still a 'sun' here, Marshal, was it you who guided us here...?"

"No, it is the 'insect,' which is bestowing upon us its love, through which we will live forever..."

Subsequently, words such as "gravity," "time," "past," and "future" were frequently mentioned, as if devout believers were chanting some kind of incantation.

The monitoring team in charge of related work in the research department mentioned that the intervals between the strange statements made by that sub-individual clone would continue to increase!

Let's take solving math problems as an example again.

At first, the other party was just predicting the questions that would appear in a few seconds, tens of minutes, or even an hour, and then solving them and giving the answers.

The other party is working on a problem that will appear decades from now. Logically speaking, the other party shouldn't even have access to the problem at this point, but they quickly solved it and provided the answer.

A large amount of unknown spatiotemporal data was transmitted back to the research department, and in an instant, the computing power of hundreds of billions of "millennial stars" was put to use.

As a result, the computing power of that clone was actually comparable to his!
