A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 220 This Swarm of Bees is Too Gentle

In the vast ocean of space, within a colossal universe akin to a giant mothership, a place called the "Hall of Civilization" gathers representatives of numerous civilizations from this universe.

Although they all come from different civilizations, the attitudes expressed by the representatives of these civilizations are surprisingly consistent: dissatisfaction and anger.

"Why order a retreat? We should commit more troops!"

"Yes, we should have fought those evil races long ago! They are a scourge that destroys everything; if we don't wipe them out, they will only become a threat to us in the end!"

Representatives from various civilizations in the Hall of Civilization questioned the command headquarters, which had just finished directing several small-scale battles in the cosmic sea.

All civilizations were prepared to fight the evil race to the death, but the General Command, the organization responsible for directing the battle, withdrew voluntarily, not daring to further expand the scale of the war and inflict heavy losses on the enemy. This greatly dissatisfied the various civilizations, and their representatives demanded a reasonable explanation from the General Command.

"Please calm down, distinguished delegates. This temporary retreat is for a greater victory."

The command headquarters explained: "In this frictional conflict, the evil race has demonstrated unexpectedly strong combat power. We do not know enough about the enemy, and it will be difficult to gain the upper hand in a head-on confrontation."

"Therefore, we need to combine the new and old intelligence we have gathered and formulate a new targeted strategy to minimize our own casualties and inflict maximum damage on the enemy."

The emergence of the Mother Universe was an unexpected turn of events that had not been anticipated at the beginning of the entire war.

Ordinary changes wouldn't be a big deal, but the change in the Mother Universe is too great. Judging from the outcome of the battle, unless we send out void entities of equal mass, it will be difficult to confront the Mother Universe head-on.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop new targeted strategies to compensate for the changes that have occurred in the Mother Universe.

The explanation from the General Command was somewhat plausible, and the anger of the representatives from various civilizations subsided somewhat. However, this did not mean that they were satisfied with the General Command's decision. One of the representatives asked, "How long will this take? The longer it takes, the greater the possibility that the evil race will break through our information barriers."

The command headquarters replied: "It won't be long, or rather, we must develop a targeted strategy as soon as possible. Although there is no direct evidence, those void entities that ultimately fled but did not escape the battlefield seem to have been captured by the evil race using unknown technology."

"If they have indeed been captured by the evil race, then it's only a matter of time before they obtain information about the various world arks from the void entities. We need to prepare for this as soon as possible."

……

Following the small-scale battle in the cosmic sea, the Babel swarm attempted to gather more intelligence about the enemy from the captured void entities.

The enemy's void entity is constructed as a microcosm, along with its internal material structure and a pilot.

The communication was achieved in real time through a combination of microscopic wormholes within the microcosm and quantum communication technology. Unfortunately, these microscopic wormholes seem to have collapsed from the other end, so the bee swarm cannot follow them to find the information receiving source on the other end.

However, it's not a big problem. The pilots of these void entities are still alive, and they must have all sorts of information about their mother civilization in their minds.

The task of the bee colony is to export all this information and then decipher and organize it.

These tasks are handled by live computation arrays that rely on bee colony networks and are specifically responsible for computation.

Although even among the same intelligent beings, the methods of encrypting information in their brains may differ, if we consider these brains as each civilization's independent language, then relying on their enormous computational power, deciphering them is not a problem.

Using the swarm network as a channel for real-time information transmission, the information transmission speed of each node exceeds the speed of light. The performance of the live computation array is extremely efficient. Relying on its massive computing power, it deciphered all the information in a short time and sorted out the information about hostile civilizations.

When Lu Shang saw the information deciphered by the live computation array, his face immediately fell.

"Good heavens!"

"It was clearly the bee swarm that showed mercy and didn't wipe them out, allowing them to survive in a civilized manner. Instead of reflecting on their own weakness, they label the bee swarm as inherently evil, terrifying, and brutal, and then recklessly band together to cause trouble for the bee swarm!"

"What a bunch of damn bastards!"

The creatures that attacked the swarm of cosmic organisms in the cosmic ocean were not some unknown civilization, but rather a group of fleeing civilizations who had managed to survive the swarm's attacks.

Throughout its history, the Babel swarm has actively attacked numerous universes in its pursuit of expansion. In the process of these universes' demise, it is inevitable that some of their native civilizations will escape unscathed.

Because so many universes were destroyed, some escaped civilizations that managed to escape encountered each other. Through war or communication, they learned that their home universes had all been destroyed by the same unknown enemy.

Thus, these fleeing civilizations naturally united with the aim of eradicating the Tower of Babel bee swarm.

Because they were unaware of the true nature of the Babel bees, they unilaterally labeled the Babel bees that had destroyed their universe as an evil race.

As its name suggests, the Babel Swarm was characterized by this coalition of fleeing civilizations as an evil, brutal, and destructive entity, and was considered the great catastrophe in the cosmic ocean.

The reason why no advanced civilizations have emerged in the cosmic sea is because the Babel swarm is causing destruction and spreading hatred and chaos everywhere. Every civilization born in any universe has an obligation to completely eliminate this disaster. As long as the Babel swarm is eliminated, the chaotic cosmic sea can return to peace.

Despite how absurd this argument sounds, it actually convinced many civilizations in the universe, causing the escaped civilization alliance to rapidly expand into a civilization entity with multiple universes.

It's hard to say about their technical strength; they might be very strong or very weak. After all, there's the factor of technological explosion. It's not a head-on collision, so it's really hard to say whether they are strong or weak.

However, Lu Shang's first feeling about this matter was displeasure.

Although the reason for letting these escapees go was that it was too troublesome to hunt them down, rather than out of any conscience, it was still a way to give them a chance to live!

Instead of appreciating the rare opportunity for survival given by the bee colony, these civilizations have joined forces to hinder the colony's development!

Sigh, the bee colony was too gentle in its actions before!

A planetary being asked, "What's the next strategic move?"

Lu Shang said, "No rush, let's play along with these civilizations for a while."

"The amount of information we have now is far from enough to completely wipe out these ignorant alien civilizations from the other world."

As he spoke, Lu Shang added, "They will likely attack the bee swarm again."

"Don't display combat power beyond what we've shown in this space battle. Don't scare them all away. If they all run away, it will be very difficult to wipe out the swarm completely."

"Do you understand?" Lu Shang asked.

The bees replied, "Understood. We will first feign weakness, and once we are fully prepared, the swarm will wipe out these enemies."

……

Just as Lu Shang was making arrangements to deal with these remnants of escaped civilizations, good news came from the civilization breeding farm.

The first level 100 psionic creature has appeared!
