A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 171 This universe is hopeless

Handing us over to aliens?

Fen Ye's brain went blank, and he didn't react for a long time.

The first to react was Liu Qing, who didn't get along well with Fen Ye. He abruptly stood up and questioned in shock, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? You've betrayed us, the Bainas people?!"

The Emperor calmly retorted, "This is not betrayal; it is your duty to make the necessary sacrifices for all the people of Bainas."

Having received a clear answer, Liu Qing, with a heavy heart, asked the Emperor at the head of the table, "What exactly do you mean by 'handing it over to the aliens'?"

Zunhuang frankly stated, "They're just testing subjects. The aliens have absolutely no interest in ordinary Bainas people and don't bother with them. They only want superpowered individuals as their research subjects."

"I think that after the discussion just now, you can understand me and the government's helpless measures. It's all for the sake of civilization, so please don't hold a grudge."

Fen Ye jumped onto the table, shouting angrily, "Bullshit! Who would understand the behavior of an alien lackey like you!"

"Let's all attack together! We must defeat this alien lackey who betrayed our mother civilization! And then we must jointly destroy this lackey government that betrayed all of Bainas!"

This single act caused a huge stir; Fen Ye's call to action prompted many superpowered individuals at the venue to prepare for action.

Although the Emperor is very strong, he is definitely no match for the combined forces of so many superpowered individuals.

Especially the words of the Emperor just now made it very clear that there is no room for compromise or concession between the superpowered individuals and the alien fleet.

On the contrary, there is room for compromise and concession between the Bainas and the alien fleet.

How can superpowered people stand this?

No one could accept becoming a subject of alien experiments, so both the superpowered individuals in the Meilan Alliance and the Dimo ​​Alliance put aside their past prejudices and united against the common enemy.

At that moment, a bunch of small objects flying at extremely high speeds rapidly approached the superpowered individuals.

The superpowered individuals, who possessed strong combat awareness, immediately activated their superpowers, attempting to knock away these small, mirror-like reflective objects.

To their surprise, these small objects were found to be ridiculously heavy. The force they exerted was like trying to push a 100,000-ton iron ball with a feather. Not only did it not budge, but the feather also broke.

The small object, unsurprisingly, attached itself to every superpowered individual in the venue, its immense weight causing them to fall over and become firmly pinned to the ground.

The Emperor explained, "These things are made of degenerate materials with the same density as neutron star matter. Unless you can exert a force at the level of neutron star gravity, it is absolutely impossible to destroy these rings."

"This is something aliens developed specifically to capture you."

Fen Ye was firmly pinned to the ground, but the rage within him prevented him from calming down. He roared in a hoarse voice, "Alien lackey! Bah! I used to respect you so much! I was blind!"

The other superpowered individuals, upon hearing this, immediately joined in the cursing.

"You lackey king! You'll die a horrible death!"

"You lackey, Emperor! Don't let me come back alive, or I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"

"You traitor who betrayed the entire civilization! I will tear you to pieces!"

The Emperor ignored the insults. He glanced at the superpowered individuals and noticed that several of them had broken bones from being hit by alien gadgets during their earlier resistance. He then respectfully inquired about the secretary-general, who had always been regarded as a powerless individual by the superpowered people.

"Are those injured alright?"

The secretary-general said, "It's alright. Minor damage is easy to repair. As long as they are alive, they are useful to us."

The Emperor hesitated, then said, "What about the matter we discussed before..."

The secretary general glanced at him and then smiled, "We will keep our promise and give you, the Bainas, a giant immigration ship to leave Kaya, so that you can get away from this space battlefield."

The Emperor immediately felt relieved and returned to his original calm state.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

……

The aliens finally took notice of those "superpowers." They sent some fleets, intended as cannon fodder, to the vicinity of those planets to militarily threaten the civilizations on those planets and force them to hand over the superpowered individuals within their civilizations.

They were told that their home planet system was about to become an interstellar battlefield, and that even the planet might not be left behind. They were willing to provide a giant immigration spaceship capable of faster-than-light travel if the superhumans were handed over.

This carrot-and-stick political strategy allowed them to capture a large number of superhumans from various indigenous civilizations in a very short time without bloodshed, and none of the civilizations resisted.

Such changes could not possibly be kept secret from the swarm, since so many superpowered individuals, who served as tools for the swarm to understand the physical rules of the universe, were brought into the universe, and Lu Shang knew about it immediately.

"How much more is needed?" Lu Shang asked.

The cosmic beings reported: "The expansion of the universe has affected the progress. A large universe is still very vast, but it's not a big problem. I roughly estimate that the progress is about 75.67%. Once all the spacetime roots extended by the cosmic beings are connected, we will be able to completely control the large universe."

After thinking for a moment, the cosmic being continued, "I think there's no need to pay attention to the actions of these civilizations. Everything is already set in stone. No matter how much they struggle, it's useless. As long as the battlefield is in this universe, their efforts are meaningless."

If we consider the entire universe as a fruit, then this fruit has rotted inside and out, with only the core remaining intact.

However, it's only a matter of time before the pit rots.

Lu Shang shook his head slightly and warned, "Don't speak so absolutely. In terms of probability, nothing is impossible. Don't let your guard down just because the swarm has a huge advantage. That's not a good idea, and you might stumble on it one day."

"oh."

Lu Shang hesitated for a moment, then decided, "Perfect. Now that the roots have been deployed to 75.67%, let the cosmic creatures try to gain some control over the universe."

"OK."

In response, the cosmic organisms, acting as an attacking group, began to alter part of their own structure.

……

At the same time, fleets of alien civilizations in this vast universe were suddenly and abruptly swallowed up by rapidly expanding black holes and engulfed within the event horizon.

These suddenly appearing black holes are not very large; some of them don't even exceed the mass of a peanut. However, they can expand to a diameter of several light-seconds or even several light-minutes.

In other words, the diameter of their event horizons is far greater than the mass of the black holes they should correspond to.

After swallowing the target fleet, these black holes quickly changed from expansion to contraction, and the event horizon returned to the corresponding black hole mass.

The principle behind all this is not complicated: from outside the universe, across the cosmic barrier, spacetime roots directly distort the spacetime of the universe.

The result of this distortion is naturally a spacetime depression. When the distortion reaches its extreme, it becomes a massless black hole. Since a massless black hole devours matter, it will exhibit a very small mass.

Since the formation of the event horizon is not due to high-density mass, but rather the result of spacetime distortion by extraterrestrial beings, the extent to which the event horizon of a black hole expands depends not on the mass of the black hole, but on the degree to which extraterrestrial beings distort spacetime.

Although psionic energy can achieve the same effect, for example, a black curtain that can be kneaded and shaped at will is a massless black hole.

However, compared to psionic energy, this method is undoubtedly more covert. Psionic energy requires opening microscopic wormholes to extend, and if it encounters an enemy with advanced microscopic detection and wormhole technology, the swarm might suffer a great loss.

Now, without relying on microscopic wormholes, we can directly create zero-mass black holes of various shapes in the universe. To discover the existence of swarms, we need to point out detection technologies from outside the universe.

If you can't find the answer, you can only passively take the hits.

Lu Shang's seemingly foolish action caused a violent shock to all interstellar civilizations in the entire universe.

A large number of fleets inexplicably collapsed into black holes, and none were spared, regardless of their location.

Although their industries still exist and the lost fleets can be recovered, the technological advancements of the Swarm Show undoubtedly sent chills down the spines of these interstellar civilizations.

Without warning, a wave of their fighting force was wiped out, and the key point is that they couldn't even understand it. How could this not make them feel shocked and terrified?

Fear is brewing within these civilizations, and some within them are calling for their mother civilization to talk to this civilization lurking in an unknown corner of the universe.

To put it simply, we acknowledge that you are technically very skilled, so please stop causing trouble, okay?

Unfortunately, these messages spread by these civilizations did not receive a response from the bee swarm, because in the bee swarm's view, they were far from being qualified to negotiate.

What level of qualification is required to be considered eligible for negotiation?

That means it must be able to make the bee colony feel troubled and unable to do anything to it in one go; only then can it be considered qualified.

When have humans ever negotiated with microorganisms?

No, right?

With Lu Shang's move to abruptly collapse numerous civilization fleets into black holes, the civilizations in this vast universe have quieted down considerably and are no longer so eager to expand their war preparations. This is not because they have given up resistance, but because they have discovered that warships seem to be of little use against this hidden, unknown enemy.

Research on superpowered individuals is accelerating. Previously, researchers were hesitant to act too harshly because these individuals were intelligent beings. However, due to the pressure of war, they no longer care about anything else. They simply start experimenting on any research direction they come up with, completely disregarding the lives of these superpowered individuals.

A year has passed, and these interstellar civilizations in the universe have finally discovered some clues from the superpowered individuals.

The secrets of superpowers were cracked in the early stages of research using alien technology.

All the superpowers of these superhumans are manifested on a macroscopic level by appropriately distorting spacetime.

Matter tells spacetime how to curve, and spacetime tells matter how to move.

In the microscopic world, everything exists in the form of material particles. So, if spacetime is bent and the movement of these particles is affected, wouldn't all sorts of amazing superpowers be manifested on a macroscopic scale?

However, after reaching this stage of their research, researchers of extraterrestrial civilizations have reached a dead end.

Because there's no way to explain how a perfectly normal spacetime suddenly warped. It doesn't make sense. There must be something warping spacetime through the superpowered person's thought feedback.

After a year of research and data analysis, these extraterrestrial civilizations finally discovered that all the data pointed to something beyond the universe.

At this moment, the swarm's penetration and control over the universe has reached 94.75%!
