A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 290 This mastermind is too much of a chuunibyou (delusional)

Amidst the dazzling stars, a fierce and terrifying war of civilizations is unfolding.

There were no earth-shattering energy fluctuations, no dazzling naval gunfire, and no various intriguing military tactics; there was only a head-on clash after both sides had set up their formations and strategies.

One side is a swarm of Babel bees led by Kasha, and the other side is a civilization called "Mecaron".

Unlike previous wars waged by the swarm, this war did not have clearly defined enemy and friendly positions, nor did it involve any troop deployments. Rather than being on the same battlefield, it was more like both sides were in the same arena.

On a microscopic scale, two powerful civilizations are fighting each other in the most direct way. One moment a microscopic being calls on planetary life to focus its psionic energy to tear apart the particle life of the Mecaron civilization, and the next moment the microscopic being is destroyed by other particle life.

On a macroscopic scale, the swarm of bees led by Kai'Sa drifted aimlessly through the universe like corpses.

Most of them were of little use in this fierce war. Their sharp teeth and claws had no effect on microscopic particles. To macroscopic creatures without a microscopic perspective, the invisible microscopic particle life forms of the Mecaron were comparable to formless and invisible enemies, and could not be attacked by normal means.

Therefore, the primary method of killing that Rabbi's swarm can use on the battlefield is psionic energy.

By providing vision through microscopic organisms and then transmitting information to planetary life forms via a swarm network, the planetary life forms could use their immense psionic energy to directly destroy these particle life forms of the Mecaron civilization.

However, even psionic energy, which can easily separate quark pairs, does not offer much advantage to the particle life forms of the Mecaron civilization.

Furthermore, if there is a miscalculation in the command within the swarm, the stalemate will be broken, and Kai'Sa's side will immediately suffer a setback.

Admittedly, the particle life forms of the Mecaron civilization could not contend with the immense psionic energy of the planetary beings, but the fighting style of these particle life forms left the bee swarm led by Kaisa feeling powerless.

The particle lifeforms of the Mecaron can freely travel to any space through wormholes at the microscopic scale, and are adept at disguising themselves as various ordinary elementary particles. This led to a large number of particle lifeforms of the Mecaron civilization directly invading the bodies of all the organisms in the swarm led by Kasha during the initial battles.

Subsequently, each swarm of organisms, including planetary organisms, became a vast microscopic battlefield. The particle lifeforms of the Mecaron would indiscriminately devour the constituent particles of each swarm of organisms and then transform them into particle lifeforms like themselves, thereby increasing their numbers.

Although the swarm can use psionic energy to find and destroy the particle life forms within these organisms one by one, this approach only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause. As long as a particle life form of the Mecaron civilization remains hidden within the swarm organisms, the macroscopic bodies of the swarm organisms will remain a microscopic battlefield, and this microscopic battle will continue indefinitely.

Moreover, even if the particle life forms inside this bee swarm are cleaned up now, it doesn't mean that particle life forms won't invade its body after a period of time.

Often, the swarm is completely unaware of the particle life forms that naturally emerge from wormholes and invade beyond the microscopic scale.

Microscopic wormholes are a result of increased spacetime entropy and are naturally occurring phenomena. It is perfectly normal for ordinary elementary particles to pass through these wormholes. Similar physical phenomena are happening every moment in the quantum sea.

This causes the microscopic organisms in the bee colony to constantly conduct reconnaissance at the microscopic scale around and within each bee organism, while also being wary of attacks from particle life forms.

Kasha was anxious because she realized that as time went by, the swarm's small mistakes accumulated, gradually breaking the stalemate and making the enemy's numerical advantage more and more obvious.

Calm down, Kasha. The situation isn't at its worst yet. Think about it carefully. If you were Lu Shang, what would you do right now...?

Kasha multitasks by processing various types of information within the swarm network while simultaneously considering countermeasures against the particle life forms of the Mecaron civilization.

No, even Lu Shang, faced with this situation, would...

The current war is fundamentally different from the wars the swarm has encountered before, in two aspects: the scale of the war and the mode of the war. If the wars of the past were a horizontal bar, then the current war is a vertical line. Military strategies on a macro scale become less applicable on a micro scale.

It seems that's the only way...

Kaisa devised a strategic plan: to neutralize all matter in the universe with negative quanta, including the swarm of bees she commanded.

However, this would still make it difficult to completely eliminate the particle life of the Mecaron civilization, because they would definitely escape through natural wormholes at the microscopic scale. With such a large number of particle life forms, if even one escapes, the suicidal strategy of Kasha's swarm would become meaningless.

At least, these troublesome enemies won't find the swarm so easily...

Kasha was calculating in her mind that she had already conveyed the information about the Mecaron civilization and these particle life forms to Lu Shang through the microscopic organisms she had explored. They would not come to contact them, and the enemy would not know that the swarm she led was only a small part of the entire Babel Tower swarm.

After employing a suicidal strategy, the enemy might assume the swarm has been wiped out, thus lowering their guard. In the vast, endless ocean of space, the probability of these particle life forms encountering the swarm again is extremely low.

That's the decision!

Time waits for no one; further hesitation will only worsen the situation. Kassa made up her mind. "Pass on my order: prepare negative quantum..."

Just as Kasha gave the order, it suddenly received a gravitational wave. At the same time, through the sensory organs of other swarm creatures, it learned that countless microscopic wormholes had opened up in space, and from the other end of the wormholes, an unparalleled psionic energy was extending into this universe!

"Zawarudo".

With the spread of this gravitational wave containing an incomprehensible signal, time in the universe where Kaisa leads the swarm completely stops, and even the expansion rate of the universe returns to zero!

Freeze the cycle of reincarnation!

The force that made the move was Lu Shang's massive swarm of bees, whose size exceeded that of several universes. At the same time, they released powerful spiritual energy, directly reducing the entropy of the universe where Kasha's swarm was located to zero.

Along with Kaisa's swarm, the particle life forms of Mecaron also experienced entropy increases to zero.

"That's right, I've wanted to call you that for a long time." Lu Shang muttered to himself, waving the purple tea in his hand.

This isn't what you call being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur). Just shouting out moves without any effect is what's called being a chuunibyou. What's effective is what's called resonating with reality.

Suddenly, Lu Shang stopped shaking the cup, and his carefree and relaxed expression turned serious.

"As expected, I knew it wouldn't be resolved so easily."

Lu Shang received the expected report of the attack: particle life forms were invading and attacking the swarm he commanded through those naturally occurring microscopic wormholes!

These particle life forms are not limited to the universe where Kasa and her group reside; they also exist in other spaces outside that universe. Lu Shang's actions of simply pausing time in that universe can at most prevent them from continuing to attack Kasa's swarm, but cannot imprison the Mecaron civilization!
