A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 203 This Civilization is Too Martian

After the swarm of bees intervened with the combined power of almost all the psionic individuals, the entropy that had stopped increasing began to rise again, and the frozen time gradually resumed its flow.

The collective consciousness of the Lodag civilization was pulled back to normal time and space from the moment of eternal extension. Compared to the Babel bee swarm, they once again possessed the ability to think and the ability to intervene in matter.

However, the Lodag civilization cannot do anything outrageous because their time flow is still very slow compared to the Babel bee swarm, with a difference of about one to one hundred million. With such a huge time difference, no matter what the Lodag civilization wants to do, the Babel bee swarm can react immediately.

The combat style of individual civilizations, which uses creativity as a weapon, is no longer as effective after losing the advantage of time, since creativity needs a process to exert its physical effects.

Meanwhile, in order to prevent the Lodag civilization from the vast universe from causing trouble using the naturally generated microscopic wormholes, Lu Shang arranged for a large number of planetary creatures to open microscopic wormholes, with the interval between each microscopic wormhole being less than a Planck scale.

In this way, all the microscopic wormholes in that space are microscopic wormholes controlled by the swarm of bee creatures using psionic energy.

Even so, Lu Shang was still not at ease. He ordered the planetary creatures of the swarm to be on high alert, and to immediately restrain and control all the constituent particles of the Lodag civilization should any changes occur.

Microscopic organisms also invaded that region where time flowed slowly through the microscopic wormholes of those bee colonies.

According to Lu Shang's thinking, safety comes first. The other party comes from the giant universe, which is far more powerful than the swarm master universe. No amount of caution is excessive.

Even if, from a swarm's perspective, the interrogation takes tens of thousands of years due to the slowing of time, it is still worthwhile, given the cautious approach.

Confining a highly technological civilization is not a big problem; it can be done by freezing the cycle by eliminating the time dimension. However, trapping a highly technological civilization becomes extremely difficult.

Because life always finds a way out. This applies not only to the psionic creatures in civilized breeding areas, but also to civilizations that do not use psionic energy, especially high-tech civilizations, where this phenomenon is particularly evident.

After using every defensive measure the swarm could think of, Lu Shang conveyed a message to the other party through the planetary creature that was imprisoned in the frozen cycle of reincarnation along with the single civilization of the giant universe, Lodag.

"The war is over. Your mega-universe is destroyed. Lodag civilization, you have lost."

……

The mindset of the Lodag civilization was freed from the frozen cycle of reincarnation.

However, they did not feel anything unusual or any change in themselves.

Because the manifestation of things is often relative.

For example, if there are two trains traveling at the same speed and in the same direction, and traveling at one-tenth the speed of light, then from the perspective of passengers inside these two trains observing each other, are the passengers on the opposite train moving or stationary?

The answer is stillness. Although they are both in motion, because they are moving at the same speed and in the same direction, passengers on the two trains will not feel that the train on the other side is also moving. Instead, they will feel that the whole world is moving, not that they are moving.

The situation of the Lodag civilization is similar. The freezing of reincarnation makes the Lodag civilization, relative to the swarm, like a pile of dead things with zero entropy, and from the subjective perspective of the Lodag civilization, there is no feeling at all.

At this moment, their thoughts, frozen in time due to the swarm's imprisonment, remained stuck on the instant when the planetary creature that successfully captured the swarm first established an informational connection with it.

In other words, it is still a time of high morale, and we are ready to fight the culprit, the bee swarm, at any time.

Hearing Lu Shang's message through the planetary creatures all of a sudden was naturally arousing.

"A clumsy lie!"

In response, the Lodag civilization prepared to make an example of them by destroying the planetary creatures they had captured.

At this point, the Lodag civilization no longer needed the planetary life form. The Lodag civilization had discovered a large number of stable microscopic wormholes in this microcosm.

Naturally formed microscopic wormholes are extremely unstable and will collapse the moment they are born. The Lodag civilization doesn't need to think too much to guess who created these stable microscopic wormholes; it's the culprit who attracted hatred to their mother universe.

However, just as the Lodag civilization was preparing to annihilate the captives of this planetary size to vent their anger, and then use these microscopic wormholes to eradicate the enemy threatening the existence of their mother universe, something unexpected happened.

Their technology has malfunctioned!

The hostile prisoner, who had been restrained and controlled by them using force field technology, just swaggered around and brazenly opened a wormhole the size of a planet and left this space!

Even worse, the Lodag civilization discovered that they were trapped and had nowhere to go!

"It seems you are not aware of your situation."

"Lodag civilization, you are now our prisoners."

"The war is over. Your pathetic universe has collapsed and no longer exists. No one will come to save you. I hope you will not make any futile resistance, as that will only hasten your death."

The information was transmitted through those microscopic wormholes and received by the Lodag civilization.

The single-person civilization of Lodag attempted to accelerate its own time, but they discovered that they had no way to accumulate negative quanta. Space had become a sieve, and the negative quanta would be plundered by the planetary beings on the other side of the microscopic wormhole using psionic energy the moment they were formed.

The expansion rate of spacetime is also strictly controlled by the swarm's psionic energy, remaining constant within a range of one trillion decimal places. The Lodag civilization cannot change the speed of its own time flow to transform its civilization's creativity into combat power.

Although the Lodag civilization still did not believe the message conveyed by the swarm, they did not have many options at the moment, so they replied to the swarm.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking our home universe?"

This is a rather foolish question for a civilization that has already ventured beyond its parent universe and plundered the mass of other universes.

At least that's how Lu Shang sees it.

In the universe, whoever has the bigger fist is right, and might makes right. If you don't submit, we'll beat you until you do. If you still don't submit no matter what we do, then we'll just carry out humane destruction.

However, the Babel beehive had a legitimate reason for attacking this time, so Lu Shang stood on the moral high ground and accused: "Because a civilization in your universe attacked one of the universes we control, we are retaliating against your universe. Your universe's civilization is just paying the price for what it has done."

The Lodag civilization reviewed its memory bank but still couldn't recall which universe the other party belonged to. There was no way around it; they had destroyed too many universes, not to mention other civilizations of the same level in their mother universe.

The mother universe, with its mass and scale far exceeding those of other universes, could not possibly have been created by just one or two local civilizations.

"We have not plundered matter from other universes, yet you have dragged us into war..."

The message from the Lodag civilization was interrupted by Lu Shang before it could be fully delivered.

"Don't spout such meaningless nonsense. Did your mother universe's enormous mass, far exceeding that of ordinary universes, all form naturally?"

"Even if your civilization has not plundered matter from other universes, the fact that you enjoy the matter that your mother universe has plundered from other universes makes you complicit."

"Besides, haven't you already tacitly accepted your hostile relationship with us? What's the point of saying all this now? Can it change the fact that you're prisoners?"

Because of the different time flow scales, Lu Shang had to wait a very long time for the Lodag civilization to reply each time. Therefore, the information from Lu Shang's side seemed very impatient to the Lodag civilization.

Lu Shang gave the information directly in a commanding tone, "The purpose of our communication with you this time is to find out the direct factor that led to the destruction of your mother universe."

When this message was sent, the swarm also included a record of information from cosmic beings observing the entire process of the destruction of the mega-universe from outside the universe.
