A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 98 This civilization is too lucky

For a moment, Nanali and the other mainframes were undecided, as whether or not to continue attacking Lu Shang was up to them.

"What should we do?" Nanali asked.

Lu Shang retorted irritably, "What do you mean, 'what do we do'? Keep fighting! They can fight whenever they want, and stop whenever they want? Who gave them that right?"

Having understood Lu Shang's decision, the bee swarm creatures had no further questions.

Lu Shang added, "While we're fighting, we'll also be questioning them about why they attacked the envoys we sent to contact them. If they don't give an explanation, they're not being sincere, and the swarm will keep attacking."

"OK."

The planetary creature responded.

Some time later, the Babel beehive received gravitational waves from an unknown civilization again, this time with a much larger amount of data than before.

We are not a unified civilization; there are many civilizations and many races around us...

After browsing through it, the gist is that multiple civilizations and races exist within the area where physical rules are altered. For the civilizations and races within the area, the area within the physical rules is the universe, while the area outside the area is outside the universe.

The situation in the region is very similar to that in the Vorsotis Galaxy, where various civilizations and races are divided into factions.

Before receiving the electromagnetic wave information from the swarm, no civilization within the region believed that life or civilization existed outside the region.

Upon receiving the information, it was only natural to feel shocked and panicked, which even gave rise to the "prison hypothesis".

In other words, their universe is actually a prison created by a certain civilization for the purpose of studying them, or for pursuing some kind of art, or even more pointlessly, just for having some fun.

This ideology was exploited by a civilization in the region called the "Da Li An Power Association," which then plotted that contact assassination.

This nation's technology is the most advanced among these civilizations, and its military strength is also the strongest, so it is inevitable that it will become arrogant and feel that it can control the situation.

They planned to lure an unknown civilization from outside the universe to attack their universe.

According to their thinking, if the swarm of bees were to attack them, they would have to enter their universe. And the war would definitely leave behind debris. With the debris, they could reverse-engineer the technology from outside the universe. So the civilization collectively ascended to outside the universe.

As for whether it can withstand it or not, it doesn't matter. Isn't there civilization all over the universe here?

Could that civilization from outside the universe really defeat all the civilizations within the universe so quickly?

impossible!

Thus, the civilizations and races within the entire rule-altering region were forcibly dragged into this ruling power.

These civilizations never expected that the swarm would use completely incomprehensible technology to continuously divide their 'universe', causing it to become smaller and smaller, which they were powerless to stop.

The Dali An Authority had sensed the danger earlier and dispatched a large number of escaped spaceships, which are the dark spheres in the main universe that are being chased and besieged by the swarm of bees.

These spaceships can not only travel outside of "universe", but also expand into "outer space" that can support the survival of the legitimacy.

The reason why we haven't been able to contact and explain things to the bee colony within the area where the rules have changed is that they simply don't know how to communicate. They can receive electromagnetic waves, but they can't use them. It wasn't until they developed the method of transmitting information using gravitational waves that they were finally able to make contact with the bee colony.

"So that's how it is." Rabbi said in realization. No wonder the other side's scientific research capabilities were so poor during the war; it turned out they didn't want to fight at all.

"You really believe their nonsense?" Lu Shang retorted.

The rabbi paused, then asked hesitantly, "Uh... is something wrong?"

Lu Shang replied, "The swarm is communicating under the identity of the Dias Empire's civilization, and they are being so careful and cautious. Why do you think that this civilization wouldn't try to deceive the swarm with information?"

"Don't assume that the bees can't be deceived just because they won against them."

Lu Shang didn't believe the other party wasn't mixing lies into their communication, just as he didn't believe a human male's computer didn't contain "learning materials."

If overwhelming power forces an opponent to submit, it means that the opponent will inevitably not lie, and the interrogation methods used on Earth will no longer exist.

"Then beat the swarm until they tell the truth," said the mastermind Grana.

Lu Shang asked, "How do you determine which are the truths and which are lies?"

"this……"

The mastermind Grana was in a dilemma. If it were a creature under the same physical rules, it could consider using the method of observing the structure of brain particles to confirm whether it was lying. But how could it detect lies in a creature with different physical rules?

"It's simple to find out the truth; just look for information in the content that they have no reason to lie, like this passage."

The swarm's masterminds browsed the information as indicated by Lu Shang.

This section contains basic information about how rules can alter the worldview of civilizations within a region.

Before they knew the radio messages from the swarm, these civilizations and races believed that their universe was still very young, and that their civilizations were among the earliest to emerge in the universe.

There is an even earlier civilization in the universe, called the "Zelian." Civilizations in the region have discovered many relics related to this civilization, thus concluding that this civilization was born in this universe before them.

This short piece of information suggests that the rule-changing region is related to the extinct Zelian race, and may even have been created by them.

There may be survivors, or there may be some man-made object among the scattered debris that altered the rules of the universe and was scattered into the universe along with the debris.

After all, the Zelian race's universe and the swarm's universe differ in their physical rules, and since they were fleeing across universes, it's not surprising that they would be carrying something capable of altering the parameters of physical rules.

But this brings us back to square one: what exactly happened outside the universe where the swarm of bees is located?

"Tsk, this is truly a meaningless war," Lu Shang said unhappily.

Originally, the swarm of bees waged this war in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the universe, but in the end, it was as if they hadn't fought at all.

"If he is a survivor of the Zelian tribe, he should be able to provide the hive with the information it needs."

Lu Shang understood what Nanali meant: there was more than one region in the universe where rules could change like this.

……

The empty space between stars is so vast that nebulous matter is rarely seen.

A massive fleet is traveling at one-tenth the speed of light toward a star called Lasu.

This is a fleet, and also a civilization, a civilization that has wandered among the stars for 100 million na. Every time they arrive at a star system, they plunder all the planetary matter in that star system, and then embark on their journey again at one-tenth the speed of light.

During this long journey, the Holy Scorpion Clan experienced a great deal, witnessed black holes, and engaged in fierce battles with other civilizations in space. This greatly stimulated their desire to return to their home planet, and so they embarked on their journey home.

However, their journey home was not smooth, because they learned through radio transmissions amplified by the Gambi black hole that a new civilization had been born in Karana, the homeland of the Holy Scorpion Clan.

Meanwhile, a radical friend among the Holy Scorpion Clan, taking advantage of the fact that all the Holy Scorpions were not paying attention, issued an invasion warning to the Usu people, making them aware of the invasion of the Holy Scorpion civilization fleet at an early stage.

This radical, benevolent Scorpion was executed immediately afterward.

However, the problems facing the Holy Scorpions have become much more difficult, because the Usu people on Karana already know about the Holy Scorpion invasion, which will inevitably make them prepared, and then it will be a tough battle.

Therefore, the Holy Scorpion proposed to simply absorb the Usu people into the Holy Scorpion civilization, and the two races would form an alliance.

But the debate ultimately ended with the extermination faction gaining an overwhelming advantage and winning the support of all the Holy Scorpions.

The extermination faction's reasons are simple.

"We cannot be lenient on racial issues; this is a lesson we learned a long time ago."

"If we let them live today, they will want Scorpion Power tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow they will be thinking about seizing power. In the end, they will turn around and threaten our Holy Scorpion Clan."

"Killing them all without leaving a single one is the most amiable arrangement for them. At least we will build a monument to their civilization so that the universe will remember that the Usu people once existed. In any case, according to the information they sent into the universe, that's all they want."

While the Holy Scorpion Civilization fleet was still busy planning how to seize the star system where Karana was located with minimal losses.

An inexplicable change occurred in them.

All the sacred scorpions, and even the spaceship itself, are disintegrating from the outside in!

"What's going on?!"

"What happened?!"

"We're fucked!"

Panic quickly spread throughout the entire Holy Scorpion Civilization fleet. They knew what this was: a rule-based strike!

This is a type of attack used only by a god-like civilization in the universe!

A holy scorpion lieutenant inquired of the fleet commander.

"Commander-in-Chief, what should we do?"

The commander-in-chief of the Holy Scorpion Civilization was also helpless. This was a blow from a god-level civilization. What could they do when they could not achieve light-speed travel?

The commander-in-chief of the Holy Scorpion Civilization issued his final order: "Activate the final message broadcast, so that at least in the end, the universe will remember our Holy Scorpion race."

As powerful electrical energy was injected into the broadcaster, the high-powered broadcast signal shot straight towards the Gambi black hole, four kilometers away from the fleet. A civilization that had existed for a long time vanished into thin air.

The rule-altering region, like the scythe of death, bypassed the decaying and extinct Holy Scorpion civilization fleet and headed straight for the star named "Rasu," which was less than 1 kina away.

However, this distance of less than one kilo felt like an insurmountable distance, because space and time were distorted by an invisible force.

The warped spacetime completely imprisoned and threw the Grim Reaper, who had destroyed the Holy Scorpion civilization, out of the main universe.

On Karana, the Ussu people, who had received the last words of the Sacred Scorpion civilization, cheered with joy, taking it as a message sent to the universe asking other civilizations for help. They had finally received a response, and the Dark Forest Theory, which they had always firmly believed in, fell from its pedestal.

The Hessians became universally reviled and ridiculed, while Blonda, the Ussuri who sent a distress signal to the universe, became a hero who saved the entire civilization.
