A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 324 The Devastating Attack Was Too Sudden

Following the instructions relayed by the Plinka people from afar, the flagship began releasing numerous sensors from its cabins, spreading outwards.

These sensors are the same ones found inside the flagship and scattered throughout space; any damage to them can be immediately seen on the projection.

The diffusion process takes time, but it doesn't last long. When Tamma saw the distribution of the sensors in the projection forming a near-perfect sphere without any volume shrinkage, the emotions that had been suppressed in her heart could no longer be contained.

She knew that the result of the experiment was—excellent!

……

The experiments conducted by the Principe civilization on behalf of the bee colony were observed by the lurking mediums, who then used the colony network to inform the entire Tower of Babel bee colony.

"To think that they could block it so easily with just a black curtain is either unexpected or unbelievable," Lu Shang muttered.

The dark layer enveloping the flagship of the Princau civilization was the black curtain that the swarm used to shield against artillery fire—a flat, sheet-like black hole.

Lu Shang didn't have high hopes for the experiment by the Prinkia civilization at first; it was just a simple test. But unexpectedly, it succeeded all at once.

To be honest, it was very unexpected.

"Now we can be fairly certain that this 'extinction' is not ultimate destruction, right?" a medium creature asked.

Ultimate Destruction is a terrifying unknown force capable of instantly crushing a swarm of bees at its peak and easily destroying a unified civilization.

If a simple black curtain could have blocked everything, then the Unity Civilization wouldn't have been so badly defeated, and the swarm wouldn't have been torn apart.

Therefore, the swarm has reason to suspect that the "demise" of the Purinka civilization that is hunting it down is not ultimate destruction, but something else entirely.

Upon hearing the question from the medium creature, Lu Shang shook his head and said, "I always felt that things weren't that simple."

"What's the basis for this?" the medium asked.

Lu Shang frowned and pondered for a moment before replying, "There's no basis for it; it's just a feeling."

"..."

Just as Lu Shang and the swarm creatures were pondering that since the Pulinka civilization had discovered a way to limit the expansion of 'extinction,' the next step should be to make large-scale use of such methods to limit the expansion of 'extinction,' then gradually shrink the encirclement, and finally completely eliminate 'extinction,' the swarm network suddenly collapsed.

"Depend on?!"

The sudden turn of events made Lu Shang curse. There was only one possibility for the collapse of the swarm psionic network: the ultimate destruction was repeating its old tricks!

This collapse did not last long, and the swarm's psionic network was rebuilt once again.

The psionic powers are only disabled on the psionic brain structures that the swarm has used. So the swarm only needs to replace them with other psionic brain structures of the same level.

Each swarm of bees stores a massive amount of psionic brain structure information in its brain. In the event of a swarm network collapse and the inability to use psionic energy, it immediately replaces its own brain structure.

The same tactic can only be used once against the Tower of Babel bee swarm!

Even if psionic energy becomes completely unusable, it doesn't matter. The swarm still has a technology tree that doesn't rely on psionic energy, and can still do what it wants, at most the process will just be a bit more complicated.

"Report to me immediately!"

The moment the swarm network was restored, Lu Shang immediately gave orders to the swarm organisms. A massive amount of information flooded into Lu Shang's brain, allowing him to see the full picture of the current battlefield.

At the moment the swarm's psionic network collapsed, the swarm creatures that had been sealed in the frozen cycle as a backup plan returned to normal time and space. At the same time, they all knew that being able to return to normal time and space was most likely because the swarm had encountered some huge change, and the most likely thing was that the psionic energy had been sealed again.

Therefore, they immediately went to the spacetime bubble and universe where the swarm of creatures were located, where they built the first temporary defense line, temporarily blocking the enemy's advance through the wormhole.

However, this disruption did not last long. The next moment, these rapidly reinforcing bee creatures were also inexplicably rendered powerless.

However, in terms of buying time, it was enough. The other swarm creatures whose psionic powers had been suddenly rendered useless had already completed the structural changes to their psionic brains and were able to continue using psionic powers.

They used these psionic powers to fill the gaps in the combat strength of the reinforcement swarms and continue to maintain the defensive line.

The formless and intangible ultimate destruction continuously creates wormholes while simultaneously sealing the psionic brains of the swarm creatures. The swarm creatures then continuously replace their peers who have lost their psionic powers and constantly alter their brain structures to rapidly restore their psionic abilities.

In the instant the swarm network collapsed, the two sides engaged in billions of attacks and defenses!

"Accelerate my time!" Lu Shang ordered.

The next moment, everything in Lu Shang's residence was frozen in time. If you looked closely, you would see many tiny dust particles floating in mid-air, as if time had stopped.

This is not freezing reincarnation, but the effect is similar. The swarm of bee creatures used psionic energy to distort the spacetime around Lu Shang, allowing his time to accelerate infinitely, making one second feel like a hundred million years, or even longer.

"Rabbi, Kasha, you two must ensure the Civilization Farm operates normally and guarantee the production of new psionic brain structures. If necessary, you may resort to extraordinary measures."

"learn."

Rabbi and Kasha, the two masterminds, responded.

Subsequently, Lu Shang shifted his focus to military matters.

The battle line has been held up for now, which is fortunate, but this fortune will not last long. Once the supply of new psionic brain structures stops, this battle line, which relies on replacing psionic brains to maintain its position, will collapse in an instant.

Although Lu Shang has a backup plan, namely a swarm of bees without spiritual power, it's best to avoid using it if possible, since who knows what else the enemy might have.

What is the true nature of ultimate destruction?

Lu Shang asked directly, "If I know the true form, I can eliminate the opponent."

Nothing in this world is perfect. As long as a physical entity exists, it will inevitably have some kind of weakness.

The medium beings who risked their lives to enter the ultimate destruction and open the other end of the wormhole only saw the mother universe of the Prinkia civilization, nothing more. Before the invisible force crushed them into various subatomic particles, they transmitted the information they observed back through the swarm network.

Formless and shapeless!

This was determined not only through observation, but also through the attacks suffered by the media organisms.

One of the mother cosmic beings said, "It's very similar to 'annihilation,' formless and shapeless. Perhaps 'annihilation' is ultimate destruction. If so, then the true nature of the enemy is spacetime itself."

"If 'extinction' is ultimate destruction, why is it only attacking the bee swarm now? That doesn't make sense; the bee swarm has already come into contact with 'extinction'," one of the bee swarm creatures questioned.

This is something the bee swarm creatures cannot understand. The media creatures have already come into contact with "extinction". If "extinction" is the ultimate destruction, why not launch a devastating attack on the bee swarm?
