A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 58 The Cosmic Barrier is Too Closed

On the interstellar battlefield, the areas conquered by the swarm were gradually recaptured under the continuous offensives launched by the microcosm-type planetary creatures commanded by Lu Shang.

The Star Alliance had originally planned to try guerrilla warfare, infiltrating and penetrating the rear of the bee colony to force the new species of the Babel Tower bees to slow down their attack.

But after several attempts, they found that it was useless. No matter where the fleet went, the swarm of creatures could always quickly find them before they could cause any trouble and swiftly eliminate these fleets that had infiltrated the rear to harass them.

Previously, there were continuous victories, but suddenly the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the battle went downhill all the way. It was more exciting than the stock market. At least the stock market has a limit-down mechanism, but there is no such mechanism in war.

This huge disparity directly caused several older staff officers in the Alliance General Staff to fall seriously ill from anger.

However, it wasn't all good news for Lu Shang either...

"Lu Shang! Major information!"

Lu Shang received a message from Nanali.

"What's wrong?" Lu Shang asked curiously.

He assigned the mainframe to perform the simple task of distributing second-generation scouts.

Although he knew that the Star Alliance could detect the swarm of creatures invading through psionic detection.

Even if they knew, it would be difficult for them to pose a threat to microcosm-type planetary life forms, because microcosm-type planetary life forms can move faster than light speeds, ignoring any gravitational resistance.

"The Star Alliance has developed a new weapon capable of attacking a new type of planetary life! I've lost psionic contact with this new type of planetary life..."

Nanali anxiously explained to Lu Shang, while simultaneously transmitting a picture of the situation to him via the psionic network.

Lu Shang listened to Nanali's explanation with a furrowed brow, but after browsing the images and information Nanali sent him, his furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and he fell into a long silence.

Seeing that Lu Shang had not replied for a long time, Nanali became even more anxious, instinctively thinking that the problem was very serious.

"Lu Shang, what's the working principle of this new weapon? How do we defend against it? I don't know much about spacetime, so should we withdraw all the new types of planetary life forms?"

Lu Shang asked hesitantly, "Is it possible... that the new weapon you mentioned from the alliance actually refers to yourself?"

"Huh?"

Nanali was completely dumbfounded.

Lu Shang's research into closed-loop spacetime has led to the discovery of new types of planetary life forms. These are planetary-sized creatures that have separated from the main universe, but not completely; they have only separated from a portion of it.

The main reason is that psychic energy cannot penetrate the barriers between universes to influence spacetime in one universe, and beings in the main universe cannot perceive psychic energy in another universe across the barriers between universes.

This conclusion was reached after more than a decade of testing and repeated verification in accelerated spacetime.

Therefore, if planetary beings are to be able to use their psionic energy to kill enemies while hiding in their own microcosms, they must maintain a certain degree of connection with the main universe.

Therefore, Lu Shang thought of connecting the small universe containing the planetary creatures to the main universe through microscopic wormholes, maintaining the connection between them. These microscopic wormholes would be maintained by the psionic energy of the planetary creatures.

This is why both the swarm and the Star Alliance can detect the psionic energy released by planetary creatures within their microcosms and, based on that energy, pinpoint a location as the location of those creatures.

Actually, that's the location of the microscopic wormhole. You still need to go through the microscopic wormhole for a short distance before you reach the location of the planetary life form itself.

Theoretically, these microscopic wormholes could be used to harm planetary life in the microcosm, but this is only theoretical. In any case, Lu Shang cannot imagine what kind of attack could so accurately find a microscopic wormhole that is only wide enough for a single neutrino to pass through, and then pass through it so precisely and quickly, even when the microscopic wormhole can move faster than the speed of light, to harm planetary life in the microcosm.

More importantly, if the planetary beings in the microcosm sense something is wrong, they can immediately shut down the microscopic wormhole, completely sealing off the microcosm. Neither dimensional reduction attacks nor vacuum decay can spread into the microcosm through the microscopic wormhole.

However, the former Overlord was more cautious. Without understanding the function of microscopic wormholes, he ordered the planetary beings under his command to close the microscopic wormholes in their microcosms to avoid being detected by the Star Alliance's psionic energy.

As a result, after closing all the microscopic wormholes in their microcosm, the planetary beings completely severed their connection with the main universe, becoming forever lost outside of it, never to return...

"...So, it's all my fault?"

Nanali was speechless. She thought the Star Alliance had come up with some powerful weapon again, but it turned out that it was all her fault that caused this tragedy!

"If it's not your fault, then is it my fault?" Lu Shang rolled his eyes.

Nanali was a little frustrated. Those planetary creatures all possessed miniature universes, and even if they were deployed to the battlefield, they would be a formidable force. It was just because she didn't understand them that they were all lost, which was truly unacceptable to Nanali.

"How can I make amends and bring those individual bees back?" Nanali asked.

Lu Shang said, "It's hopeless. Those wormholes in the microcosm are spacetime structures that were designed from the very beginning when the microcosm was created. I have no idea how to open new wormholes on an already stable spacetime structure."

"If we could get our hands on the Star Alliance's wormhole generation technology, there might still be a chance to save those individuals lost in the universe."

"However, it's only a tiny chance, because the universe is dynamic. Neither the main universe nor the microcosms can remain fixed. This causes their relative coordinates to always be changing. Even if you use the coordinates of the microcosm before you got lost to open a new wormhole, you might not be able to find the microcosms of the planetary beings."

……

Beyond the galaxy, on a vast scale spanning hundreds of thousands of light-years, an extremely inconspicuous crystal, not even worthy of being called a speck of dust, is constantly moving in one direction.

At this moment, Bahadun was in a state of collapse and extreme fear.

How terrifying... How terrifying... These battles are completely incomprehensible...

With the help of the crystals that remained in the galaxy, Bahadur was able to witness the entire interstellar war between the Star Alliance and the Babel Swarm.

The battles that used to be understandable, such as dropping live ammunition, releasing lasers, deploying space fighters, and boarding maneuvers, have now become battles that Bahadur cannot understand at all.

To Bahatton, the entire battlefield was... utterly inexplicable!

On the battlefield, a black hole inexplicably appeared in the planetary biological center of the Babel Tower swarm, and then it was destroyed.

Black holes inexplicably appeared next to the warships in the Star Alliance fleet, and they were also inexplicably destroyed.

Up to this point, Bahadun could still barely understand that he had seen natural black holes before, although he didn't know how these oddballs on both sides could throw such terrifying things around like stones.

However, Bachton was completely baffled by what followed.

The Star Alliance did something, and they simply used a barrage of "light" to engulf a massive horde of Behemoths.

Then, something happened on the Babel beehive's side, and the planetary-sized creatures became completely immune to any attacks.

Luckily I ran away early...

The mainframe named Lu Shang was right. If I hadn't escaped the galaxy sooner, I probably would have been stuck there forever...

Bahadun still remembers that at the beginning of the battle, the Star Alliance fleet accidentally encountered the Amon Empire, which was also a familiar race, and wiped out the entire massive fleet of the Amon Empire in the blink of an eye.

It's important to know that the size of the Amon Empire's fleet is dozens of times larger than that of the Star River Alliance's fleet.

At this moment, Bahadun was so grateful to Lu Shang, who had warned it to leave the galaxy. If it hadn't seen it with its own eyes, it would have been hard to believe that there could be such a kind being among the brutal and bloodthirsty Babel bees!

Just as Bahadun was still praising Lu Shang, this great benefactor, in his heart, a faint message from the psionic network caught its attention.

[Bachton...]

Huh? Who's there?

Bahadun became alert; it sensed a familiarity in this faint message.

[Bachton...come here...]

The message continued to be delivered, though not very strongly, but through careful investigation, Bahadun gradually realized the source of the message.

Great Lord!?

Where are you?

The crystal felt a surge of excitement, like a lost pet finally finding its owner.

【Bachton...come here...liberate me...】

"Task accepted...Task confirmed...In progress..."

The psionic message was delivered again, and Bahadun immediately located the source of the message, directing the crystal to rush to the location where the psionic message was being delivered.

O Supreme and Great Lord, Your faithful servants and retinue are here to release You!
