Chapter 327: Wrath of Physics (1)
Ling Ping’an controlled his black smoke character, making it hover in the earth-blessed realm.
On the river bend plains of earth-blessed realm, a huge coc.o.o.n was moving rhythmically.
As he slowly approached, he saw a pop-up window pop up on the coc.o.o.n.
‘Unnamed insect swarm evolving…’
‘Remaining time: 5 earth-blessed moons…’
Looking at the details, Ling Ping’an knew that his insect swarm had obtained all of the alien’s genes and structure after devouring that alien species.
Now, it was being digested!
To fuse the genes of a brand-new species into the existing gene pool.
This was a huge project!
Thus, for the past few earth-blessed moons, the Queen Mother of the insect swarm had been spinning a coc.o.o.n.
Hence, she had knitted such a large coc.o.o.n.
The Queen Mother was currently in the coc.o.o.n, undergoing a genetic mutation.
This also meant that the life of this generation of queen mothers was coming to an end.
When it broke out of the coc.o.o.n, it would give birth to a new queen mother.
A new queen mother with a brand new possibility.
Ling Ping’an looked around the large coc.o.o.n. After thinking for a moment, he exited the Blessed Earth world.
His vision turned dark as he disconnected from the virtual reality device.
He appeared at the counter, the phone screen in his hand still lit up.
Just as he was about to exit the Blessed Earth manager, he saw a red and bold warning on the screen: ‘dear player, your blessed clan, ‘Gangba Tribe’, has accidentally entered the hunting range of the Great Devourer. If you do not intervene, then the Gangba tribe will be irreversibly destroyed in 8 hours and 25 minutes.’
“The Great Devourer?” Ling Ping’an scratched his head. “Some Super Force in the game?”
Unfortunately, there was only a rough map on the clan tribe’s interface.
Therefore, Ling Ping’an could only see his own minion on a planet called ‘Ellen’.
And it was just an icon with a number under it that showed the number of Gangba tribes.
Now, the number of Gangba tribes had already fallen below 200,000.
Although this number had been jumping repeatedly.
But this also meant that Ling Ping’an’s clan tribe had already suffered heavy losses in the short period of time that Ling Ping’an went to his homeland.
Many members had already used up their rebirth!
He then continued to look at the other icons on the planet.
There was a green icon called the t.i.tanium tribe with millions of numbers below it.
Then, there was a dark red icon called ‘Great Devourer’.
There were more than 300,000 of them!
Even though they were rapidly descending, there was another icon on the screen that said ‘Great Devourer reinforcements are preparing…’
There was a countdown below the icon. It was already 5 minutes and 32 seconds…
A banner was scrolled out to remind the players: Dear player, please intervene as soon as possible! Otherwise, your clan tribe will suffer a devastating and irreversible blow!’
“You F *cking gave me the option to intervene!” Ling Ping’an couldn’t help but ridicule.
This time, there was no option to intervene on the interface.
There was only a rolling warning that kept playing.
Ling Ping’an had no choice but to look around on the screen.
He searched through the options box for an option to intervene.
No matter how he looked, he couldn’t find it.
He only found an option for 3D projection mode in the game settings in the upper right corner of the interface.
It seemed to be a new option added after this update.
In other words…
Ling Ping’an thought, ‘Can I go in directly in a certain form?’
Thinking of this, he clicked the ‘confirm’ b.u.t.ton.
Thus, the phone screen slowly darkened.
And in front of his eyes, there was a bright light.
In this light, there were countless characters. It was similar to the scene in a movie that Ling Ping’an had seen about the future where artificial intelligence imprisoned all humans in the virtual world. The main character entered the real world from the virtual reality.
“This scene is really well done!” Ling Ping’an naturally knew that this was created by the game company to increase the atmosphere.
Therefore, he wasn’t surprised at all.
However, as these characters and numbers continued to move forward, they sped up at the speed of light.
They slowly demonstrated a wonderful scene in front of Ling Ping’an.
These numbers and characters slowly became blurry.
Then, they became blurry dots of light, densely packed together.
These dots of light intertwined with each other.
Finally, all the dots of light gathered together.
It became an infinitely small, infinitely concentrated dot.
When this dot appeared on the screen, Ling Ping’an discovered that he was already in a void, darkness, and lightless s.p.a.ce.
He looked down and saw his own body.
Countless dots of light, like the ones he saw on his phone screen, were slowly winding around him.
They are infinitely small matter.
At a certain moment, Ling Ping’an had an epiphany.
“It’s a layer!”
A concept of high school physics came to him.
The so-called layer was a kind of elementary particle.
Modern high-energy Physics believed that the universe was composed of elementary particles.
And the layer was the only known elementary particle among all the elementary particles that had all four kinds of basic interactions.
These four kinds of interactions were: electromagnetic, gravity, strong interaction, and weak interaction!
Hmm…
As long as he didn’t go to calculate the formula and only memorized the text, Ling Ping’an was still very capable.
In addition, he had once thought of writing science fiction, so he had a deep impression of these basic knowledge.
But the problem was…
Layers?
Ling Ping’an was puzzled. “Why would I think of this?”
Layers weren’t something to joke about.
Because, this thing was a very scary thing.
If modern physics was correct, then a layer was the densest, most ma.s.sive, and most dangerous substance in the known universe!
The physics teacher had once told a cla.s.s about something.
It was thought that there was a celestial body in the universe that was between a black hole and a neutron star.
A layer of stars!
After a supernova, those celestial bodies that failed to evolve into a black hole were called a layer of stars!
How terrifying were Stratostars?
On top of that thing, a square centimeter of ma.s.s was at least five billion tons!
According to the physicists’ hypothesis, the so-called dark matter would be swallowed by the powerful gravity of stratostars.
Therefore, the universe was the universe that people saw.
The distribution of matter and energy was not uniform.
The reason was that these things were playing tricks.
Their strong gravitational force was acc.u.mulating dark matter in a certain star area.
It was like a vacuum machine that sucked out the air.
However…
Ling Ping’an moved casually and found that his body seemed to have countless tentacles of light.
These tentacles danced in the void with his thoughts.
They danced with these tentacles.
Crack…
Something seemed to have been torn apart.
Starlight appeared before his eyes.
Dazzling starlight!
In the next instant, Ling Ping’an appeared in a vast starry sky.
The photon tentacles on his body automatically shrank and coiled his photon body into a sphere.
He looked around.
Countless ships were floating in the starry sky as far as his eyes could see.
Under the starlight, the countless tentacles on these ships were glowing.
On their huge bodies, their sensory organs seemed to have sensed something.
And their bodies were covered with cutin sh.e.l.ls, and the thick mucus between these cutin sh.e.l.ls indicated that they were living things.
“Eh!” Ling Ping’an looked at these huge creatures that were hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of meters in size.
He was shocked.
“A species that can survive in the universe and move in the form of flesh and blood! ?”
“This is too amazing!”
“The design of this game is really great!”
He had heard of interstellar races that had similar settings in the past.
For example, among the stellaris, there was the school of Genetic Ascension.
Unlimited strengthening and evolution of the body, and ultimately eternal genetic life.
Its ultimate a.s.sumption was that an individual was a powerful ship.
It could cross the universe and ignore all dangers.
Hence, it became a nomadic race in the universe.
However, the flesh starships in front of them didn’t look like the school of Genetic Ascension in the Stellaris.
They seemed to have also discovered Ling Pin’gan.
All the ships started to turn.
On the ma.s.sive ships, countless specialized structures were charging.
A screen appeared in front of Ling Ping’an’s eyes: it detected the charging reaction of all the symbiotic organisms of the great devourer fleet.
Biochemical strike countdown…
Ten…
Nine…
Eight…
Countless electric currents were moving on the ma.s.sive ships.
Countless biochemical organs were secreting all kinds of liquids. Those powerful electric organs were consuming matter at a speed even more violent than nuclear fusion, sending powerful electric energy to their ships, those biochemical weapons that were symbiotic with the ships…
…
Time was reversed by five minutes.
The Mother Nest Lord of the Leviathan fleet was communicating with the supreme leader of all the great devourers, the Mother Nest’s will, and receiving the order from the Mother Nest’s will.
Suddenly, many organs on the lord’s body began to scream.
And the connection between it and the Mother Nest’s will was cut off.
The great will that had always been connected to the node creatures of all the great devourers could no longer communicate with these node creatures.
It was as if something powerful had interfered with the Mother Nest’s Will’s projection ability in this star area.
All the ships in the entire fleet, the symbiotic units that were extremely sensitive to the environment of the universe, had all sent out alarms in the mother nest network, especially the narwhal worms in the fleet.
These units were the navigators of the entire fleet. They were extremely sensitive to the environment, so they all let out shrill cries that signaled danger.
The Mother Nest Lord immediately understood.
Because, in a certain sense, it was also the Mother Nest’s will.
Or to put it another way, the mother Nest’s will was formed from the spirit of countless mother nest lords and large devourer units like tyrants and samurai bugs.
Strictly speaking, the mother Nest’s will was like a computer.
Every large devourer that had node abilities was the computer’s program and data.
As for the other units of the Great Devourer, they formed the rest of the computer.
Countless great devourers resonated with the will of the mother nest.
Therefore, their powerful psionic power disturbed everything.
It was to the extent that it cast a shadow in the subs.p.a.ce.
In theory, there was nothing that could interfere with the will of the Mother Nest’s connection with its node.
So, wWas it a new enemy?
An enemy that was stronger than expected and unprecedented?
The Mother Nest Lord was thinking about those questions.
But that didn’t matter.
Death was never scary for all the nodes of the great devourer.
This was because the Mother Nest’s will was connected to every node.
Their memories, knowledge, emotions, and even experience were all backed up by the Mother Nest’s will.
Once their bodies were destroyed, the Mother Nest’s will could sp.a.w.n a new node at any time and resurrect them.
This was the terror of the Great Devourer.
Its enemies had used all their wisdom and effort, sacrificed countless lives, and killed a node fleet.
However…
So what?
The new node that was hatched was ready.
With all the memories and experience from the defeat, the node led an even larger fleet and returned to the battlefield through the narwhal worm’s jump.
This time, it would not make the same mistake as the last time.
It and all its units had also been adjusted and targeted.
Therefore, its enemy would definitely be defeated!
This was the terror of the Great Devourer.
Therefore, it immediately gave the order.
As a node, it was connected to all the other nodes of the entire fleet.
These node creatures all had synapses.
The psionic power on these synapses resonated with each other.
This enabled it to freely share its intentions and strategies with the other nodes whenever and wherever it wanted.
These nodes then commanded the great devourer unit that it controlled.
Fortunately, its commands were received by all the nodes.
Thus, countless sensory organs began to work.
They were designed based on all the enemies the great devourer encountered.
They could sense everything from psionic power to physics.
On the other hand, the Hive Lord began to generate a new organ in its own body.
This organ worked immediately upon its lifetime of achievement.
From now on, this organ would be responsible for recording and backing up all its decisions and knowledge in the current situation.
This organ was the intelligent design of the Mother Nest’s will.
It was an organ that only the mother nest lords who controlled the entire node fleet had the right to possess.
Because it was too precious.
It was made up of some special material that the Mother Nest’s will had extracted from the neutron star at countless costs.
Its characteristic was st.u.r.diness!
Even if it was thrown into a star, it would not be destroyed!
It was specially used to record the appearance of any possible enemies that could interfere with the will of the mother nest.
With it, even if it was interfered with, the node’s memories and experience would not be lost.
After doing this, it seriously transferred all its energy to the enemy.
At this time, the Mother Nest Lord, from the perspective shared by the sensory organs of a cruiser, saw the vacuum of the universe millions of kilometers away in the distant starry sky.
Just then, it was shaking.
The vacuum began to crack like a gla.s.s as though something was about to be come out of it.
And then…
The Mother Nest Lord and all the other node creatures saw through these sensitive biochemical organs a spectacle they had never seen in the past tens of millions of years.
The true side of the s.p.a.ce vacuum was displayed in front of them.
This vacuum that didn’t seem to have any matter or energy.
It wasn’t flat.
It was a continuous undulating wave.
The ancient knowledge in the mother nest Lord’s Memory Bank told it that this was the true reality of the vacuum of the universe!
That wasn’t a true vacuum.
There was energy there too.
There was even matter.
It was just that no one could see it.
But now…
This reality was suddenly exposed to the senses of all the organs.
“Charge!” The will of the mother nest lord echoed in every node. “Fight!”
It already understood that it and the entire node would probably die.
But it didn’t matter.
It and the nodes would come back.
Moreover…
It felt the energy disturbance coming from that empty s.p.a.ce star field.
If the Mother Nest’s will could digest and absorb the genes of creatures that could create such energy disturbance, then the Great Devourer could truly devour the starry sky!
It might not even need to cross the starry sky and spend tens of thousands of years to find new galaxies to hunt for food.
They could completely devour matter and rely on the energy of matter to survive.
The Mother Nest Lord knew that it had to try its best to find out the background of the thing that was about to appear in this galaxy, so it coldly and mercilessly sent out orders one after another.
The other nodes immediately began to carry out the orders without holding back.
They were like machines, cold, ruthless, and efficient.
All the combat organs and parasites of the entire fleet started to work.
The highly efficient electrical organs released powerful electrical energy.
The terrifying biochemical petri dishes secreted poisonous and explosive liquids.
Finally, all of this was transmitted to the combat parasites through special biochemical organs.
Thousands of ships had completed their combat preparations.
They started to prepare!
At this moment, the thing behind the vacuum finally crawled out.
Looking at the thing that crawled out, even the Mother Nest Lord felt fear and awe.
Because…
That thing was made up of the fundamental particles of the universe.
The tentacles that came out of the crack, each of them was tightly intertwined with countless other tentacles, and in some inexplicable way, they juxtaposed to form a slender tentacle that was as shiny as a living thing.
These tentacles squeezed out of the crack, and the rest of it also appeared.
It was a ball that was less than a meter tall.
It looked small…
But…
It only felt its ma.s.s.
The ma.s.s measured by the countless sensory organs.
The Mother Nest Lord’s brain was already overloaded!
Because the sensory organs couldn’t measure the ma.s.s of the target.
This meant that its ma.s.s was infinite!
At least, it exceeded the limits of the sensory organs!
Looking at the monster that was slowly using its tentacles to wrap itself up,.
The mother nest lord understood.
It immediately ordered, “Fire! Fire with all your might!”
In the next second, thousands of giant devourers designed for interstellar warfare spat out b.a.l.l.s of blazing plasma.
Behind these plasma were countless poisonous cannonb.a.l.l.s.
The entire universe was instantly lit up.
The light of the Grand Devourer’s volley was even more dazzling than the sun.
Even the planets in orbit were illuminated!
Blazing white plasma.
Dark green biochemical cannonb.a.l.l.s.
There were also countless corrosive cannonb.a.l.l.s made of countless biochemical substances.
Therefore, even the green skin couldn’t help but raise their heads and look at the illuminated sky.
The entire atmosphere of planet Allen was reflected in a myriad of colors at this moment.
The governor of the t.i.tanium race looked at the illuminated atmosphere in a daze.
In front of him, the only working s.p.a.ce observation device played the scene of the great devourer firing in unison.
A fleet that spanned thousands of kilometers suddenly burned in unison!
These terrifying biological vessels gathered all their firepower at this moment.
They fired at a target in the distant starry sky!
This was a miracle created by life!
It was also the most terrifying disaster that life could create in the universe!
If the target of this volley was planet Ellen, then the entire planet would probably be torn apart!
Even a star might not be able to last!
Then the problem came..
The Great Devourer was known for its ruthlessness, efficiency, mechanics, cunning, and intelligence.
They never wasted their time.
In other words, if they were to launch such a volley at all costs, how powerful would their enemy be?
“Could it be the black star troopers of the Human Empire?”
The Black Star troopers of the Human Empire were the strongest army in the universe.
But the problem was…
The Black Star Troopers no longer fought as an army.
So, what was it that came?
That caused the great devourer to make such a big fuss!
Unfortunately, he no longer had the means to observe from afar.
…
Ling Ping’an didn’t have time to react.
The fleet in the distance started to shine.
“Gan!” Ling Ping’an was furious. “This gaming faction sure has a bad temper…”
“They’re shooting at each other?!”
In his field of vision, countless plasma had already arrived in front of him.
He instinctively raised his tentacles to block them.
The Starry Sky Shook.
b.a.l.l.s of plasma and countless plasma hit the tentacles.
More things came from behind the plasma.
They were lumps of sticky, colorful things which came at a crazy high speed.
While Ling Ping’an’s tentacles were flailing, everything, be it plasma or sticky things, were all stuck to the tentacles.
It felt like dough stuck to the hands.
All of this happened in a very short period of time.
One second ago, Ling Ping’an was still waving his tentacles, trying to block them.
The next second, everything stuck to the tentacles.
Then, they were compressed and compressed again.
They became small dots on the tentacles.
Ling Ping’an was stunned!
What was going on? He didn’t understand.
‘Could it be that when I use the clan tribe manager, I use the game manager’s template?’ he thought.
This was the only explanation.
It was the legendary GM!
In the past, there was an ancient game where the GM was killed by a wooden sword.
Therefore, he didn’t probe further.
Instead, he thought of another matter.
“He hit me the moment they met?!”
“He doesn’t even put me in his eyes!”
As a gentleman, Ling Ping’an believed that it was impolite not to reciprocate!
In the game, if someone insulted him, he would definitely retaliate.
Even if it was a character in the game.
But the problem was that Ling Ping’an didn’t realize that his character had any skills or attack options, channeling bars, or hints.
So, how could he respond?
