A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 219 This Mainframe Has Too Many Ideas

A swarm of bees exploring unknown regions in the depths of the cosmic ocean encounters an attack from an unknown civilization.

This civilization, composed of vast fleets of spaceship-like void entities, has surrounded and sealed off the cosmic biota. It launches dimensional reduction attacks through singularity cosmic bubbles and microscopic wormholes, simultaneously striking the cosmic creatures from both the outside and the inside.

If it were an ordinary microcosm, it would have been destroyed long ago by the attack of this unknown civilization.

Fortunately, the swarm possesses a bug-level power called psychic energy, which can directly affect spacetime itself. Within the swarm's psychic energy's range, spacetime is like a puppet on strings, which can be twisted, stretched, and manipulated at will.

However, this state of being completely unharmed did not last long.

Upon discovering that neither the use of microscopic wormholes to launch dimensional reduction attacks nor the external impact of singularity-encased cosmic bubbles had caused significant damage to the cosmic beings, the enemy quickly changed its offensive strategy.

The enemy changed its attack method, using direct delivery of negative mass to plunder the mass of cosmic life forms.

Matter is the foundation of everything; even the current Babel bee colony cannot exist without relying on any matter.

Therefore, after the enemy used negative quantum attacks, casualties began to appear one after another among the cosmic creatures that were surrounded.

Although planetary beings, the building blocks of cosmic life, can use their psionic energy to throw back the negative quanta that enemies have thrown into their microcosms, even if their mass is neutralized, they can still disassemble a set of positive and negative quanta from nothingness and continue to throw the negative quanta back to the enemy, thus maintaining their own mass.

However, this is on the premise that the negative quanta deployed by the enemy will not neutralize the planetary life forms.

The opening of a microscopic wormhole is truly impossible to defend against. Once the coordinates are exposed, the space within the swarm's microcosm becomes a sieve, allowing the enemy to deploy negative quanta at any coordinate.

When a vast number of microscopic wormholes open inside a planetary organism, releasing negative quanta, the planetary organism will die instantly. Once the planetary organism dies, the cosmic organism's own psionic energy will weaken until the vacancy of the dead planetary organism is filled.

However, the enemy had no intention of giving these cosmic creatures, who were surrounded by them, even the slightest chance to resist. Seeing the significant effect of the negative quantum strikes, even though they didn't know what was going on inside the cosmic creatures, they still intensified their efforts, thinking of pressing their advantage, expanding their gains, and ending the battle as soon as possible.

However, these attackers' ideas were destined to remain just that – wishes.

Because the Babel Tower swarm's mother universe arrived at the battlefield in the cosmic sea much faster than the swarm initially planned.

After the enemy began using negative quantum attacks, Lu Shang pondered how to minimize losses and gather intelligence as much as possible.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in his mind: to use microscopic wormholes in conjunction with the matter transfer method to quickly send the mother universe to the battlefield in the cosmic sea.

The method is simple: let psionic energy pass through a microscopic wormhole, distort a piece of spacetime in the spacetime of cosmic beings, and transform it into part of the Mother Universe.

Then, the Mother Universe transferred all of its mass to that newly created portion of spacetime.

In this way, the mother universe can complete the transfer of its main body and quickly reach the battlefield in the cosmic sea.

The sudden entry of the Mother Universe caught the enemy off guard, tearing a gap in their encirclement.

The Mother Universe doesn't wait for the enemy to react before taking action. It immediately extends its internal spacetime, enveloping the nearby void entities controlled by the enemy. Then, in the next Planck time, it uses spacetime expansion to compress these void entities into singularity microcosms.

Next, the mass of these singularity microcosms is transferred entirely to the internal spacetime.

The enemy, realizing what was happening, immediately ordered all the void entities on the battlefield to launch an attack on the Mother Universe.

However, these attacks pose no threat to the Mother Universe.

Its size is too large. Compared to the Mother Universe, the attacks launched by the enemy targeting the microcosm are just tickling.

Furthermore, the Mother Universe can heal damage caused by attacks without needing to know about the attack on a particular area through a combination of spacetime freezing and negative quantum mass transfer.

Even with a negative quantum strike, the Mother Universe can use its extended spacetime to entangle, compress, and ultimately plunder all the mass of the enemy's void entities that have been compressed into singularity microcosms.

From the enemy's perspective, this scene was like encountering a natural enemy, filled with a sense of oppression.

No matter how the predator resists, it cannot pose any threat to its predator. The predator can only helplessly watch as its predator devours everything it has.

"retreat!"

Ultimately, the hostile void entities on various battlefields in the cosmic sea received orders to retreat from their rear command.

But retreating is not such an easy thing. The battlefield is never a place where you can come and go as you please. The Babel swarm still intends to gather enough intelligence to find out the coordinates of the enemy's home universe, and then carry out a ruthless operation to eliminate them completely. How could they easily let these enemies leave?

Based on the coordinates collected after the microscopic wormholes opened when various cosmic beings were attacked, Lu Shang ordered the establishment of a coordinate system with these coordinates as the origin, and then opened the microscopic wormholes, allowing all planetary beings in the swarm to extend their psionic energy there to freeze the cycle of reincarnation.

Most of the hostile void entities that were preparing to retreat and had little will to fight were locked down by the sudden freezing cycle.

Only a small number of void entities reacted in time, expanding a portion of their spacetime to create new coordinates that did not exist in the simulated coordinate system. This allowed them to avoid being frozen and trapped in a spacetime with zero entropy, and then they cut off this part to escape into the unexplored depths of the cosmic ocean.

"Tch, a bunch of useless trash, all they're good at is running away."

Lu Shang curled his lip in disdain. He had thought that with the addition of the Mother Nest Universe, he could lure out the enemy's Mother Universe or colonize the universe.

After all, the size of the Mother Nest Universe is comparable to that of a normal universe, and it is not something that the small void entities on the cosmic sea battlefield can handle.

Moreover, the existence of the mother universe could mislead the enemy into thinking it is the mother universe of the swarm, which would likely prompt the enemy to consider deploying even greater forces.

Once the enemy does this, the swarm will have the opportunity to obtain the enemy's coordinates in the universe. Once the precise coordinates are obtained, all the swarm will have left to do is crush the enemy to dust.

As a result, the enemy chickened out and ran away, which greatly disappointed Lu Shang's initial expectations of them.

It's unknown whether the enemy's commanders anticipated Lu Shang's intentions.

"However, the result isn't too bad. Once the swarm finds your coordinates, you're all doomed." Lu Shang glanced at the void entities frozen in their cycle of reincarnation by the immense spiritual energy and muttered to himself.

Regardless of whether the enemy commander saw through his intentions, with so many void entities captured, it was impossible for the intelligence of the civilization and its mother universe not to be leaked, and the result was ultimately the same.
