A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 330 Ultimate Destruction is Too Morally Abusive

Such particle collision results immediately ignited the scientific community of the Omega, after all, the discovery of the superluminal speed of the Marfa particle is almost equivalent to dismantling the supporting pillar of the edifice of physics.

Various speculations and rumors spread like wildfire, including theories of faster-than-light particles, particle transitions, and high-energy action at a distance. Some were scientific, some were unscientific, some were well-founded, and some were just wild guesses and nonsense.

The higher-ups of the Eumiro civilization were generally optimistic about this matter.

There's no way to be pessimistic. What does interstellar colonization require? Of course, it's faster than light. Without faster than light, how can we traverse light-years? Do we really have to travel for thousands or tens of thousands of years to reach our destination?

Regardless of which hypothesis is true regarding the faster-than-light phenomenon of the Marfa particle, the fact that it exceeds the speed of light is, at the very least, something that has been repeatedly confirmed and is beyond doubt.

If particles can travel faster than light, then the next extensions will be faster-than-light communication, faster-than-light travel, and so on. Anyone would be optimistic about such scientific research prospects.

But soon, the higher-ups of the Eumiro civilization were no longer happy.

Within just one week of that, the entire Eumiroian civilization contracted a strange disease.

This strange disease has nothing to do with biology; it's more like a mental illness. Every Omarone suffers from it, but they can't pinpoint exactly where the pain is, and their bodies are perfectly healthy without any damage.

As the illness worsens, this inexplicable pain intensifies, and more and more Omairo people choose to commit suicide because they can no longer bear the pain and can only escape it by suicide.

The Omairo civilization urgently initiated a hibernation plan, handing over all aspects of the civilization to AI, while the remaining Omairo people entered hibernation and feigned death. Once the AI ​​discovered the cause of this mysterious illness and could cure the Omairo people, they would be thawed from hibernation.

The Omaros, who thought they could escape this calamity, never expected that shortly after they went into hibernation and feigned death, their AI system would inexplicably and frequently malfunction. The faulty AI wiped out the remaining hibernating Omaros, and then, due to the accumulation of numerous bugs, the faulty AI completely crashed, becoming a pile of broken metal.

A civilization within a vast star system vanished silently, without a sound, leaving not a ripple in the universe.

At the same time, similar destructions of civilizations are constantly unfolding in the universe; the only difference between them is probably the way they perish.

……

The Babel bee swarm finally withdrew from the perilous battle.

After waiting for some time without receiving any combat reports, Lu Shang inquired within the swarm network, "All units of the swarm, please report your situation to me."

Subsequently, a massive amount of information surged towards Lu Shang. The swarm was extremely large at this time, and the influx of information almost overwhelmed Lu Shang's thinking.

"Cosmic Bubble No. 53439 is in a non-combat state and shows no signs of intrusion."

"Cosmic Bubble No. 26333 is in a non-combat state and shows no signs of intrusion."

"Cosmic Bubble No. 42144..."

However, it's not a big problem. Matter determines consciousness. A massive amount of information, even if it's overwhelming, will only be overwhelming and won't have any impact on Lu Shang's thinking.

After reading this information, it can be basically confirmed that Ultimate Destruction did not continue to attack the swarm.

Why didn't Ultimate Destruction pursue us?

Kasha was a little confused about the current situation. The swarm hadn't actually done anything complicated. It simply followed Lu Shang's instructions, each creating a new batch of mini-universes, then transferring them all over, and finally reducing the old universe's spacetime to nothingness.

As a result of this action, the previously frenzied Ultimate Destroyer surprisingly stopped pursuing the swarm.

Not to mention Kai'Sa, even Rabi and the other bee creatures couldn't understand what was going on.

"Does Ultimate Destruction no longer want to fight the swarm?"

"That's unlikely. I feel that the ultimate destruction is just lying in wait, waiting for the swarm to relax its guard."

"That's also possible..."

The bee colony network is filled with speculation about various bee colony organisms.

Lu Shang reveals to the bee swarm creatures the reason why Ultimate Destruction gave up the pursuit: "The barriers between universes can effectively eliminate Ultimate Destruction's hostility."

"Eliminate hostility?" the rabbi asked.

Lu Shang nodded and said, "Yes, in the boundless ocean of the universe, there exist countless types of ultimate destruction corresponding to countless civilizations. Why haven't these ultimate destructions appeared quickly and immediately in front of each civilization, annihilating all civilizations in the ocean of the universe?"

"It is because of the barriers between the cosmic bubbles that the corresponding ultimate destruction can never immediately destroy the corresponding civilization. This state of separation continues until the civilization develops wormhole technology, continuously grows and expands in the cosmic ocean, shortens the distance between itself and the corresponding ultimate destruction, and finally breaks this barrier, which is also the moment when the civilization perishes."

This is a conjecture that Lu Shang came up with based on the spacetime bubble that imprisoned ultimate destruction.

However, in this experiment, Lu Shang's conjecture was confirmed: the ultimate destroyer did not continue to pursue the swarm because it lost its target.

Kaisa asked in bewilderment, "But the Ultimate Destroyer has the ability to open wormholes, and the barriers between universes cannot effectively trap them. Moreover, based on its performance in war, the Ultimate Destroyer can actively cross the universe to launch attacks."

Lu Shang replied, "That's because the ultimate destruction has locked onto its target, while the strategy I had you execute was to try to make it lose sight of its target."

"It was just a guess at first, but I didn't expect it to succeed on the first try."

One of the medium-sized creatures asked with some concern, "Won't Ultimate Destruction track down the swarm through particle traces?"

Lu Shang said, "I've also considered this, but as it stands now, Ultimate Destruction doesn't seem to have that capability. I even have some doubts about whether it possesses intelligence."

"What happens after the ultimate destruction, which has lost its target of the hive,?" a planetary creature asked.

Lu Shang couldn't help but roll his eyes. This was completely treating him like a prophet, asking him all sorts of questions.

"How would I know? It could be the annihilation of other civilizations that we can reach, or it could be a state of silence, like when we were trapped in the time bubble."

Kasha asked Lu Shang for the next steps, "So what should we do next? Should we take this opportunity to continue gathering information on Ultimate Destruction?"

Lu Shang rejected the idea, saying, "That's too risky. I'd like to be safer and solve the psionic problem first."

Rabbi and Kasha were taken aback, not understanding what Lu Shang meant by the psionic problem. Psionic power didn't seem to be a problem.

"Psionic problem? What's wrong with psionics?" Kasha asked.

Lu Shang replied, "This contact with the ultimate destruction has given me some ideas about psionic energy, and I would like to verify whether these ideas are true."
