A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 76 Taking it all away is outrageous.

"I've said everything I needed to say, didn't you understand?" Lu Shang asked, puzzled.

"I don't understand," Kasha replied truthfully.

Lu Shang slapped his forehead and asked, "I'm asking you, what is the purpose of the swarm attacking that galaxy? Is it to plunder all the mass of this galaxy to use as building materials for their star farm?"

Kasha thought about it and realized it was true; after all, the bee colony needed that river system to serve as a civilized breeding ground for the Babel Tower bee colony.

"Yes," Kasha said.

Lu Shang then asked, "Why didn't the bee swarm just pack up this entire galaxy?"

This question left Kai'Sa and the other bee creatures completely bewildered.

Pack?

How to pack it?

"Uh... how do I do it?" Moston asked timidly.

Lu Shang answered matter-of-factly, "Of course, we'd use spacetime to envelop the entire galaxy. What else would we use?"

"If we put the entire galaxy directly into a miniature universe, any civilization within that galaxy that possesses miniature universe or wormhole technology would definitely be scared away. After all, the entire galaxy would be sealed off. What if they became trapped like turtles in a jar while lingering in this closed galaxy?"

"Any civilization with a modicum of sense would know to run away. Besides, there are so many galaxies in the universe, a technologically advanced civilization like this wouldn't have trouble finding a place to go. There's no need to fight to the death with the swarm."

"Then, it doesn't matter what kind of weapons the remaining civilizations in the galaxy develop or how large their fleets are. They're all in the microcosm anyway, and their mass won't escape them. They'll all be building materials that the swarm will use to build the star farm in the future."

"Do you understand now?" Lu Shang asked.

What's the point of guerrilla warfare and blitzkrieg? They're too troublesome. Anyway, the swarm can distort spacetime and quietly send out a large number of planetary creatures to surround the entire galaxy. Then, it can use the ultimate psychic energy to distort spacetime and wrap the entire galaxy in a microcosm. In this way, is it still necessary to fight fleet battles and positional battles with those civilizations in the galaxy?

The entire Babel bee swarm suddenly understood.

"Understood."

Now that their psionic abilities are so strong, what need is there for them to engage in direct fleet battles with others?

……

Banassis Empire, Karot Sector, Stony Gemini System.

Billions of crystals reside here, orbiting two blue-white stars, vast and boundless, as if they were a large nebula that originally orbited the twin stars.

As the crystal revolves, the light inside flickers rhythmically, rising and falling like a silent symphony of light, echoing the two blue-white stars whose spectral frequencies are constantly changing.

It seemed as if the stars were leading the crystals in their performance, or as if the crystals were enveloping the stars in their performance.

As the twin stars became the center, ripples of spacetime spread through the void.

At the very center of the binary star system, between the two stars, a pitch-black sphere rapidly expanded, and then a stream of light shot out from the sphere, disappearing into the large group of crystals orbiting the stars.

Finally... finally... I can finally return to this universe in my full glory!

This is what it feels like to be completely liberated! It's wonderful!

The Void God was now overjoyed and excited. It had finally broken free from the freezing cycle that the Star Alliance had created and that disgusted it, and completely escaped that small universe with such a low entropy rate.

When he was sealed in that small universe, the subjective difference in time was not significant, so it didn't feel too bad. However, after a part of his thoughts were separated, he personally experienced the enormous difference of time almost stopping. This feeling of suffocation drove the Void God almost crazy.

Now that I'm completely free, the feeling of freedom is simply indescribable.

"Praise be to my Lord... Welcome back from the void..." Bahadunl sent his congratulations to his greatest master while commanding a portion of the crystals in battle.

【You have done well, Bahadun, and I will give you the reward you deserve.】

The Void God, recovering from his immense joy, highly praised Bahton, who had remained so loyal to him until now.

Just as the Void God connected to Bahadur's psionic network, preparing to bestow its reward, it sensed that fleets of resistance against civilization were still active throughout the galaxy.

[…What's going on? Haven't you wiped out those lowly mortals yet?]

"In response to the inquiry... a formidable enemy... no weaker than the Star Alliance of yesteryear... a disadvantageous situation in the battle..." Bahaduner reported the current situation truthfully.

Upon entering the galaxy, it did indeed destroy many civilizations, but it did not immediately eliminate some interstellar civilizations that had already ventured into the universe.

As a result, these interstellar civilizations immediately informed other unprepared civilizations, raising their awareness and making Bahadun's subsequent operations much more difficult.

As the war continued, the progress of the crystallization on Bahadun's side slowed down, and finally came to a complete halt on the Banathis Empire's side.

No matter how Bahaduner tried to outflank and encircle them, the Banassis Empire's fleet held firm on the front line, preventing Bahaduner's crystals from advancing even an inch.

It wouldn't be surprising if a new galaxy possessed a powerful civilization no weaker than the Star River Alliance. Thank you for your hard work.

The Void God did not blame Bahadun for his lack of combat ability, which moved Bahadun, who had expected to be reprimanded.

"Thank you... This is all something a servant should do... Those who betray our lord's embrace will eventually pay the price..."

Speaking of the races of the Void God, Bahadur thought of the Babel Bees in the Void God system, and then promised the Void God that he would teach the Babel Bees, this traitorous race that betrayed the Void God, a painful lesson in the future.

You speak of the bees of Babel? Ha! Now I have returned, and all rebels shall perish.

The Void God showed disdain. Although it had learned from Bahadun that the Star Alliance and the Babel Swarm had been exchanging black holes, it didn't take it too seriously because it had witnessed something far more terrifying.

Compared to this, the Babel bee colony is simply insignificant.

The Void God believed that given enough time, the Babel bee swarm in the Void Empire would be utterly vulnerable.

"A warning of concern... The Star Alliance's Frozen Cycle... Civilizations in this galaxy have a high success rate in developing it during crises..."

"I request... I humbly request that my lord entrust all battles to Bahadur for resolution..."

Bahadur, worried that the Void God might be sealed away again by the civilization in this galaxy using the Frozen Cycle, made this suggestion to the Void God.

The Void God, who had already been sealed once, was clearly much more cautious.

Your concerns are valid; I understand that.

【Bahaddon, I will now bestow upon you my reward and grace. Go and bring me victory, kill them one by one, and all the rebels will perish, and all lowly mortals will vanish from the universe.】

Once I have mastered this world, I will lead you to the myriad seas of realms, where your race will become a shadow of fear for all the heavens! You can look forward to it!

Hearing the Void God's grand words, Bahadun also felt a sense of longing.

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

Meanwhile, the fleet of the Kingdom of Thyssen, which was engaged in battle with the crystals, clearly felt that the crystals' firepower seemed to have become much more intense.

"What's going on? The Crystal Monster's firepower seems to be even more intense." The six eyelids of the commander of the Thyssen Kingdom twitched.

The subordinate reported: "We just detected a very strong crystal monster reaction from the direction of Dinas Star, which is very likely related to this."

The commander of the Thyssen Kingdom paused for a moment, then asked, "Have all the space fortresses been evacuated?"

"They've all been evacuated," the subordinate reported.

"Then we shall retreat as well," the commander of the Thyssen Kingdom ordered.

One after another, the warships entered faster-than-light speeds at the commander's order.

Now that the important people have left, there is no longer any need for the Thyssen Kingdom's fleet to guard this star system and engage in a protracted battle with the enemy.

……

After finalizing their strategy, the planetary beings carefully used psionic energy to create a miniature wormhole, located 300 light-years away from the nearest system in the Mesa system.

It was a pitch-black sphere, but not as pitch-black as a black hole. The pitch-black sphere was interspersed with specks of stars. A similar sphere also unfolded in the Vorsotis Galaxy, which is 115 million light-years away from the Mesa Galaxy.

The sphere is similar in size to Jupiter. In the Vorsotis system, solid planets covered in mud detached themselves from the faster-than-light speed, and after shedding their enveloping structures, they entered this huge, dark sphere, and then emerged from the dark sphere in the Mesa system.

The civilizations in the Mesa system are completely unaware of what is to come and are still waging an interstellar war against what they perceive as a "powerful enemy."
