A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 77 These Civilizations Still Unaware

On the vast scale between stars, a beam of extremely high-energy rays crossed a dust cloud, causing the nebula to light up with an extremely dazzling light. The native civilization in the galaxy and the alien invaders, Bahadun, are still in the stage of vying for power.

The native civilization of the Mesa Galaxy possesses the advantage of fighting on its own territory and is slightly superior to Bahaduner in terms of technology and strategy. The crystalline life form Bahaduner, on the other hand, relies on the vast number of crystals that it has accumulated since its initial unhindered expansion, as well as its unified command and combat capabilities, to fight the native civilization of the Mesa Galaxy to a standstill.

However, anyone with even a basic understanding of military affairs could see that Bahadur had fallen into a disadvantageous position in this war.

Although the Void God granted Bahaduner some knowledge of using psionic energy and significantly enhanced his crystal abilities, enabling him to deflect the artillery fire of the galactic homeworld civilization's fleet with psionic energy, they were not concentrated enough, unlike planetary life forms which were all concentrated on a single planet.

Their dispersion meant an increased impact area. In addition, the Mesa Galaxy's native civilization fleet, seeing that physical weapons were not very effective, switched to high-energy particle beams, high-energy rays, and other attack methods.

Use a speed faster than the crystallization reaction to kill the crystals one by one.

In the universe, the fastest speed of matter is the speed of light. Even things like warp bubbles and wormholes cannot defy this law. These technologies that exceed the speed of light are based on bypassing the speed of light limit.

Do wormholes travel faster than light?

No, matter takes a shortcut through spacetime, not that matter moves faster than the speed of light.

Can warp bubbles travel faster than light?

No, the matter in the warp bubble itself is not moving; it is spacetime that changes, 'moving' this lump of matter in space to another place. Since spacetime itself is not matter, spacetime can reach speeds exceeding the speed of light.

The thought center of a crystal is obviously material, so Bahadur's reaction speed cannot exceed the speed of light, and he is still limited by the principle that "fate lies within the cone of light".

Even with a bug-level ability like psionic energy that can deflect everything, it's impossible to completely defend against attacks that travel at the speed of light.

A variety of factors forced Bahadun to shift from an offensive to a defensive posture in order to maintain his precarious front.

This change in the situation undoubtedly delighted the native civilizations in the Mesa Galaxy.

The decisive meeting was convened as a result. Now the offensive and defensive positions have shifted, and the crystallizer has shown signs of weakness. If we cannot seize this opportunity to break the crystallizer in one fell swoop, it will be difficult for such a good opportunity to come again once the opponent recovers.

For the future of their mother civilization, and in order to end this interstellar war that has engulfed the entire galaxy, the native civilizations in the galaxy dispatched their representatives to gather on the mothership of the merchant civilization Bonudia to discuss the details of the final battle against the Crystal.

After a brief presentation by the conference announcers, the representative of the Banathith Empire spoke first at the conference.

"The situation is now becoming clearer."

"Next, as long as we unite as one, we will definitely be able to drive these alien invaders, the Crystal Monsters, out of our home."

The Banassis Empire, as the main force in resisting the crystallization offensive, had sufficient strength to be the first speaker at the conference.

Agents of other civilizations acknowledged the Banathith Empire's dominant strategic decision-making role in the Star Wars.

Among the civilization agents, someone asked, "But... what about the Void God? Does your Banassis Empire have a way to deal with him?"

Today, the civilizations of the Mesa Galaxy are aware of the existence of the Void God.

After detecting a strong crystalline reaction in the Geminid Star of the Stellaris constellation, an exploration fleet from the native civilization of the Mesa system set out to investigate.

It was naturally discovered by the Void God, who then destroyed it.

After that, the native civilization of the Mesa Galaxy learned through microscopic crystalline life that the Void God had been completely liberated and returned.

The civilization agent who raised the question continued, "The information fragments deciphered from the microscopic crystalline life form indicate that the Void God is difficult to kill by any means. Only a technology called 'Freezing Reincarnation' can seal the Void God, but we don't even understand this technology, let alone its initial concept."

"We will never achieve victory unless this problem is solved."

The speaker was the Mesa Mechanical Corps, whose primary focus is scientific research. Their main civilization race has accepted mechanical modification on a large scale and recognizes mechanical beings as citizens.

This makes them an anomaly in this decisive meeting; while other alien civilizations are made of flesh and blood, the Mesa Mechanical Corps is made of metal.

The Banassis Empire's representative looked displeased. The Mesa Mechanized Corps' representative's question clearly indicated that they wanted some strategic decision-making power.

After all, the Void God needs to research and develop a "freeze of reincarnation" to solve this problem, so who will do the research?

Of course, the Mesa Mechanical Corps is more adept at scientific research. So, in order to win the war, all civilizations would have to invest resources in the Mesa Mechanical Corps for research, right?

After careful consideration, the agent of the Banassis Empire found that there was no point of rebuttal, because it seemed that the only way to deal with the Void God was to freeze the cycle of reincarnation.

So the Banassis Empire's representative replied dismissively, "At least we know the name of this technology; all that's left is to think about it."

"Being in the same universe, I believe that all the civilizations in the Mesa Galaxy are no less capable than those that can come up with the technology to freeze reincarnation. What they can think of, we can certainly think of as well."

Having successfully secured a voice at the conference from the Banassis Empire's agents, the Mesa Mechanized Corps presented its own civilization's propositions at this decisive meeting.

"Our Mechanical Corps believes that we cannot place all our hopes on freezing reincarnation."

"We don't mean to oppose researching this technology; research is definitely necessary. It's just that we have doubts about the fact that the Void God cannot be killed. Everything in the universe has a corresponding concept: existence corresponds to disappearance, life corresponds to death. The Void God exists in the universe and is alive, so it must be able to be killed."

"The so-called 'unkillable' only means that the elements that make it difficult to find and achieve its killing ability are difficult to achieve, not that it is impossible to kill."

The Mesa Mechanical Corps' agent stated this with such confidence.

The other civilization's agents asked hesitantly, "So what do you mean...?"

The Mesa Mechanical Corps' representative picked up the conversation and said, "We can keep trying to understand its configuration and mechanism of existence, and then start from the root."

"Of course, research on freezing reincarnation must also be carried out simultaneously, as this is a direction that has been clearly proven to be able to defeat the Void God."

"The ultimate victor in this war will undoubtedly be the civilization of our Mesa system! These brutal invaders will pay a bloody price for their actions!"
