A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 251 Freezing Reincarnation Was Too Sudden

Clearly, the unknown civilization's target was not limited to the Babel Bee Swarm. Many other civilizations in the galaxy also suffered similar attacks. Unlike the Babel Bee Swarm, these civilizations were not powerful enough to withstand the sudden destruction. Unable to reach or exceed the speed of light, they had no choice but to face annihilation. This was known to the Explorer Bees through light information collected by observing from a distance.

Meanwhile, the explorer bees also discovered the source of the attack by observing the dissipation of light information.

The source is a luminous object, and it is not yet certain whether it is a civilization or a space weapon created by a certain civilization.

Regardless of the circumstances, the civilization behind the luminous object should not have exceeded the speed of light; otherwise, the swarm would have no reason to collect so much light information and be able to calculate, based on the trajectory of the light information and the time, roughly determine the other party's location in the universe.

"I do not agree with attacking. It would likely only alert the enemy and not only would it not yield any results, but it would also reduce the swarm's current strategic advantage."

"Victory cannot be achieved by simply waiting."

"But right now, the swarm lacks the means to trap the enemy, and its lack of understanding of the enemy makes it impossible to guarantee the annihilation of the enemy. If it launches an attack rashly and allows the enemy to escape, the swarm will move from the shadows to the light, which is a strategic passivity."

After the scouting bees discover the enemy, some of the bee swarms hope to attack as soon as possible and then learn about the hostile civilization from the defeated enemy.

However, another group of bee creatures cautiously wanted to wait a little longer, because it was currently uncertain whether the luminous object was a civilization or a creation of a civilization, and there was no guarantee that they could destroy or imprison it, let alone obtain the information the bee swarm wanted from the luminous object.

"This is so troublesome. If only I had some psionic energy, I could just cast a freeze on the cycle of reincarnation. In the frozen spacetime, the enemy definitely wouldn't be able to escape," one of the hives complained.

It yearns to launch an attack as soon as possible to eliminate or imprison any enemy that dares to offend the hive, yet due to technical reasons, it wants to wait a little longer. This contradictory mindset makes the hive very uncomfortable.

"You've come up with a good idea," Lu Shang suddenly said.

"what?"

The beehive was clearly stunned.

Lu Shang continued, "Since freezing reincarnation is the safest option right now, let's use freezing reincarnation to imprison the other party, just like before."

The swarm of bees on the planet suddenly fell silent. One hive asked, "Ah, this can't be done, can it? Creating the frozen cycle requires the enormous energy of the central black hole."

Lu Shang said, "That's because a lot of energy needs to form a negative energy state of spacetime so that the negative energy state of spacetime can participate in the formation of the frozen cycle. If negative quanta are involved, then the negative energy state of spacetime is not needed, and the energy requirement for the frozen cycle will be greatly reduced."

The beehive creature asked, puzzled, "Isn't it still impossible to control negative quanta?"

Lu Shang replied, "There's no need to manipulate it. Just find a way to create a massive amount of negative quanta in a specific area within a short period of time, causing the spacetime structure to distort into a closed-loop frozen cycle."

"After that, the frozen cycle of spacetime will break away from the main spacetime of the universe and will no longer need negative quanta to participate in the structure. It doesn't matter whether those negative quanta neutralize matter and energy or go somewhere else."

This method is feasible. The frozen cycle is a stable spacetime closed loop. Once formed, it can exist independently without the need for external forces.

However, Lu Shang's behavior of producing negative quanta on a large scale despite his inability to control them is tantamount to suicide for the bee swarm that creates them.

According to Lu Shang, sacrificing some bee swarm creatures in exchange for a frozen cycle that can imprison enemies is somewhat disregarding human life, but the Babel bee swarm doesn't seem to care much about that.

"But once trapped in the frozen cycle, how can the swarm obtain information about the hostile civilization?" the hive asked.

Now, without psionic energy, the swarm can no longer distort and manipulate spacetime as easily as before, let alone treat the frozen cycle of reincarnation as a prison that can be toyed with at will.

Lu Shang shook his head slightly and said, "You didn't understand what I meant. What I meant was to capture them first and then talk about other things. Don't let the target we finally found escape. We can solve the intelligence problem slowly. The key is to not let them get away now."

……

The luminous object moves at near the speed of light, but the light cone acts like a protective layer, allowing the observer to only know the past position of the luminous object.

However, such a voyage is boring and tedious, unnoticed, unthoughtful, and unobserved, completely serving as an observer, watching all the changes in the universe.

The only thing that wasn't boring or tedious was promptly eliminating and striking down any potential threats to the mother civilization.

Therefore, although the meter would complain a few times each time it woke up, it never hesitated to carry out the cleansing attack.

At this moment, the measurement point awakens once again. This time, its target is a Level 1 Light Sea population that has reached the elimination standard, or more precisely, a Level 1.7 Light Sea population.

It is a mature light sea species that has already entered space, but it has not yet developed light-speed travel for long-distance travel in the light sea and is still trapped near the scorching source body.

This civilization is easier to eradicate than the Light Sea population that has reached level two, because they simply cannot escape.

The measuring body skillfully unfolds all its spectral crystals, extending their angles to the limit, and collecting all the rhythmic information in the sea of ​​light to the maximum extent, much like a crossbow poised to fire in the universe.

After targeting the Light Sea population, the metric habitually took out an impact ball, preparing to strike.

But then he paused, remembering something, and replaced the impact ball with a small cluster of isomers.

"Once the full renovation is over, my work will probably be meaningless," the meter muttered to itself as it aimed.

Suddenly, just as the measuring instrument was aimed and about to throw the isomer at the target, an unusual spacetime ripple appeared and enveloped it completely.

"What's going on?!" The measuring body was shocked by this sudden change, and its shock was instantly turned into eternity.

At the cost of sacrificing a group of gravitational ring creatures, the luminous body, along with all matter in the spacetime with a radius of four light days centered on it, was imprisoned in a frozen cycle constructed by the Babel Tower bee swarm.

To prevent the enemy from learning more about the swarm, the mutilated remains of these sacrificed Gravity Ring creatures were devoured by the Gravity Ring creatures that arrived later, and were stored as plasma in the storage creatures.

Although this still cannot completely prevent the enemy from learning about the swarm's information, the only information that can be exposed is the light information of the escape.
