A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 206 These kids are so easily startled

"God is truly great. Thanks to God, we Moroccans were able to escape the cannibalistic old society of a hundred years ago."

A group of Moroccan children ride an elevator that floats in the heart of the city to the top of a landmark building in the city center.

At the heart of the floating city is the Tower of God, where, according to legend, the gods reside atop.

The children are now going to meet God and tell Him about the creative work they are doing, something that will have a profound impact on their lives.

Inside the elevator, the bored children started talking about the old society a hundred years ago.

One of the children agreed, saying, "Yes, I can't believe that social resources are being used to semi-force those who should be engaged in creative work to do repetitive and meaningless work, just to support a small group of people at the top of the pyramid. Individual initiative is being so cruelly degraded and trampled on. What a tyranny this is."

Another child chimed in, "If I lived in that cannibalistic old society, I'd probably commit suicide immediately. Living in that kind of society where other people are hell is too suffocating."

The children chatted away, and before they knew it, some time had passed.

However, because the tower was too tall, the children finished their conversation but did not reach the top, so they changed the subject to other directions.

One of the children asked, "Have you decided what kind of work you'll ask God for later?"

The taller child, looking very confident and smug, said to the group of children, half-boasting, "Hehehe, I'm going to build a Dyson sphere."

The other children exchanged bewildered glances, then turned to the tall boy and asked, "This... can you finish building it alive?"

The Dyson Sphere, a massive man-made structure enveloping a star, is so large that even before the Moroccans reach the end of their lives, it's doubtful they'll be able to complete its design.

The tall boy patted his chest and said, "No problem, I'll talk to God and ask him to extend my lifespan."

The other children shook their heads: "Living too long is tiring, and God won't allow you to give up halfway."

Once a creative task is approved by God, it must be completed. In a hundred years of history, no one has ever gone on strike or completely given up after being given a task by God.

Although there are no historical records, many Morodians believed that God had his own unique way of compelling those who engaged in creative work to complete their tasks.

This is why most people in Moro choose to write and create art, even though it is challenging, because they feel they are capable of completing the task.

As a member of the Moroccan community, the tall boy had naturally heard about these things from his parents, but he still showed no intention of changing his mind.

"Don't worry about that, I'm mentally prepared."

The tall child believes that the purpose of life is to accomplish what one wants to accomplish.

He wanted to build a Dyson sphere that could envelop the stars.

If we hesitate and weigh gains and losses because of difficulties, what difference is there between us and living in the cannibalistic old society of a hundred years ago?

After the tall boy finished explaining his thoughts, he turned to the others and asked, "What about you? What kind of jobs do you all want to do?"

The other children weren't as aware as the tall boy; they spoke up one by one.

"I want to be a musician and write all kinds of beautiful songs."

"I want to be a writer."

"I want to be a sculptor."

……

"I want to try to explore the ends of the universe, and I hope the spaceship design won't be too difficult."

Of these children, only one wanted to explore the universe and was thinking of talking to God about it later.

The children climbed to the top of the tower, where they had the good fortune to see the god the adults had been talking about.

God has no fixed form; his appearance is like a floating liquid with a silvery-white metallic luster, looking like liquid silver melted by high temperature.

Apart from that, the rooms at the top of the tower were empty, appearing unusually spacious.

The children waited for a while, but God did not greet them. God remained silent and did not react.

"Hello, God! We are the Morodians who have come to visit you today," a child greeted God.

After waiting for a while, the god, who was like liquid silver, still did not react.

Another child spoke up, this time shouting louder: "God? Can you hear us?"

This time, God heard it; from the silvery-white liquid, the voice of the Moro people emanated.

"Oh, children, you've come."

"There's something in the universe that's drawing most of my attention."

It can attract God's attention... Children, who are already at an age where curiosity is rampant, immediately became interested.

Then one of the children asked, "What is it?"

God replied, “A multitude of creatures, in great numbers.”

"How many?" another child asked.

God thought for a moment and replied, "It has a mass greater than that of a bubble."

The children tilted their heads, puzzled. They had never heard of the word "bubble ball" before. What did God mean by "bubble ball"?

"Bubble ball? What's a bubble ball?" the children asked.

God replied, "It's... well, the observable universe as you know it now, plus the unobservable universe, all combined, is just a bubble."

"Besides bubble balls, there are other bubble balls, all kinds of different bubble balls, which together make up the vast universe."

Among the children, the taller one, who was more knowledgeable about astronomy, quickly understood what the god meant by the bubble.

The observable universe plus the unobservable universe makes up their universe, while the "universe" that God refers to later refers to a multiverse with multiple universes existing...

"This means... Oh my god! God, you just said that all those creatures combined have a mass greater than the combined mass of the observable and unobservable universes?!" The tall boy, having finally understood, exclaimed in shock.

A being exceeding the total mass of the universe—this sounds utterly unbelievable to children.

God explained, "Don't be so surprised. The universe is vast, and there are all kinds of bubble spheres. It's not uncommon for a single life form with the same mass as a bubble sphere to appear in the universe."

"Originally, if it were just a group of creatures, I wouldn't need to pay too much attention to them. However, these creatures are very aggressive and have destroyed a lot of bubble spheres so far. As they continue to explore and expand in the universe, we will eventually meet. I need to make some preparations."

The children grew increasingly terrified as they listened: a group of beings with a total mass exceeding that of the universe were expanding, destroying, and annihilating other universes.

Moreover, according to God, their universe will also encounter these creatures in the future.

"...Destroying...the bubble...how terrifying..."

"God! Teach me military command! I don't want to watch all this beauty go to destruction!"

"Me too! God, let me learn military command so I can defend my homeland!"

One by one, the children volunteered themselves to God, but in stark contrast to their enthusiastic reactions, God's response was indifferent.

"If needed, I will involve you; don't rush things now."

"Those creatures haven't reached Type V civilization, so our survival pressure isn't as severe as you imagine."

"The question I'm pondering now is how to more efficiently integrate those organisms into one."

The children didn't know what level of civilization V represented, but judging from God's subsequent reply, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"To become one? Is that even possible?" a child asked.

A vast swarm of beings exceeding the total mass of a universe, or destroyers constantly ravaging various universes.

Now God says how to integrate these creatures more efficiently, which the children find incredible.

God replied, "Of course it can be done. In the vast universe, there are only things that cannot be accomplished because the right method has not been found; there is nothing that is absolutely impossible to accomplish."

……

While Lu Shang and the main brains and other creatures of the swarm were discussing how to incorporate civilizations with non-psychic technology trees into the civilization farm, and what aspects of this farm needed improvement, etc.

The Babel Tower bee swarm, a group of cosmic organisms exploring the depths of the cosmic ocean, received a gravitational wave message transmitted across the universe through a temporary microscopic wormhole.

"Hello, Babel Swarm, I am Tucker Superintelligence, and I am happy to connect with you."
