A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 316 Two Civilizations Cheer Together

One of the medium creatures asked with some concern, "But won't this look too conspicuous? Like becoming the 'war god' of the Plinka civilization or something."

The swarm's initial plan was for the Prinka civilization to win this interstellar war of civilizations very "naturally," and then, through the Prinka civilization, to open the wormhole connecting to that unknown spacetime bubble.

The reason why the bee colony goes to such great lengths is to make everything appear to develop very naturally, so that bystanders cannot see that there is a third party guiding everything.

However, right now, Lu Shang's manipulation of the Pulinka people, such as Fuwahu, has made them the "war gods" of the Pulinka civilization, which is far too conspicuous.

The planetary creature replied, "He's just a rather skilled strategic commander, adept at directing combat. He doesn't excel in any other areas. His prominence is limited to wartime. Once the war ends and the Prinkia civilization enters peacetime, he won't be so conspicuous anymore."

"Moreover, the Lu Shang mastermind also arranged for his character 'Fuwahu' to die a reasonable and unexpected death after the war. The dead are often the most inconspicuous."

The swarm's script was planned from the beginning: the activity of the Vwahu would only occur during the great interstellar war between civilizations. After the war ended, the Vwahu, a crucial asset in disrupting the balance of power among civilizations, would die naturally, in a plausible accident.

Once you die completely, it's hard to attract anyone's attention anymore. At most, people will remember you and feel sorry for you. After all, you're already dead. What can a lump of organic matter that has completely lost its subjective initiative do?

The dead are the most reassuring.

The planetary being suddenly asked, "What is the current size of the bee colony within the frozen cycle of reincarnation?"

Some time ago, following Lu Shang's orders, a group of bee swarms were voluntarily imprisoned in the Frozen Cycle. This Frozen Cycle is different from the previous ones. The previous Frozen Cycles could always remain in a state of zero entropy as long as there was no external intervention.

The frozen cycle that the bee swarm creatures actively enter requires another group of bee swarm creatures to continuously use psionic energy to maintain its entropy at zero.

This approach naturally utilizes the property that entropy increases to zero to build a defensive line.

The medium creature replied, "That's equivalent to one-third of our current available combat strength, but I still have doubts. Can this method truly avert the ultimate annihilation?"

The planetary creature said, "Who knows? But as long as it's an attack that occurs during a process, this method can indeed be effectively avoided, since it uses time as a shield for defense."

"The only thing the bee colony can do now is to prepare as much as possible before the battle and to think more deeply, so as to avoid repeating the same mistakes."

The medium creature asked uneasily, "Can ultimate destruction really be won? Since the swarm learned of its existence, it seems no civilization has been able to defeat it."

The planetary creature said, "No civilization can defeat it, so the swarm will be the first precedent in this boundless ocean of the universe. The continuation of civilization is the swarm's primary need. The fundamental issue has never been whether the swarm can do it, but rather that if the swarm wants to move forward, it must achieve this result."

"There are two paths to the future: one is survival, and the other is death. Death does not belong to the Babel bee colony."

……

After implementing the proliferation plan, the size of the Prinkia civilization expanded exponentially and wildly.

This sudden change was unexpected by other interstellar civilizations. Upon learning of it, these civilizations followed suit and began to emulate the Pulinka civilization's proliferation plan to expand their size at an alarming rate.

However, this has created some problems among these interstellar civilizations, namely the inevitable friction between them during their proliferation and expansion.

For example, if two expansion fleets arrive at the same star system at roughly the same time, who should own the star system?

The Pulinka civilization could easily solve this problem. Everyone was a Pulinka, and with so many external threats, they were united against external forces. Decision-makers on both sides would tacitly choose to resolve the issue in a relatively peaceful way.

However, when it comes to those interstellar civilizations that form alliances and conflicts, this contradiction becomes irreconcilable.

Because they are of different races, civilizations, cultures, and even values, the purpose of their alliances is to counter the overpowered Pulinka civilization. Once the Pulinka civilization falls, these interstellar civilizations will return to their original hostile state.

What if the reason your mother civilization loses in the future, and your race is wiped out, is because of the resources you gave up during the expansion period?

Who can bear such a sin?

For the sake of their own civilization's interests, the expansion fleets of various interstellar civilizations are naturally unwilling to hand over the territory they have painstakingly occupied to the expansion fleets of other civilizations.

Such competition creates friction, and as this friction accumulates over time, it gradually leads to escalating conflicts. Eventually, it escalates into a situation where various interstellar civilizations are outwardly united but inwardly divided, and they scheme against each other.

The strength of alliances lies in unity, in the ability to entrust one's back to the other. When unity ceases to exist, alliances naturally become meaningless.

Lu Shang, relying on the intelligence network of the bee swarm, discovered this from a god-like perspective. He used several feint attacks to make the high-ranking officials of the Prinkia civilization aware of this in a relatively unobtrusive way.

Thus, the Plinka people, with unprecedented unity, gradually devoured these interstellar civilizations one by one.

By the time these interstellar civilizations realized the gravity of the situation, it was too late. The fleet of the Princau civilization was beyond what they, as a united force, could contend with.

The extinction of a race is not an outcome that any civilization can easily accept. In order for civilization to continue, the paper-thin alliances and rivalries crumbled in a very short time.

Every interstellar civilization wants to survive, which makes other civilizations excellent targets for firepower. The earlier a civilization withdraws from this chaotic battle, the higher its chances of survival; the later it withdraws, the more likely it is to fail.

Therefore, in the later stages of the war, when the leaders of these interstellar civilizations communicated with the decision-makers of other civilizations, they appeared to be passionate and united, willing to go to great lengths for each other. However, behind the scenes, they were completely the opposite, wishing they could stab their teammates in the back, cut off their legs, and then run away first.

When the last remaining, foolish interstellar civilization, still harboring unrealistic fantasies about its teammates, perished under the terrifying firepower of the Pulinka civilization's fleet, this great civil war came to an end, and the Pulinka civilization successfully occupied all the spacetime nodes.

Although some escaped, these fugitives no longer pose a threat to the current Princa civilization.

Everyone in the Principe civilization cheered, and all the creatures of the Babel beehive cheered as well.

One was celebrating victory, and the other was celebrating the completion of the "pH test strip," a product of advanced civilization.
