"Can Anjo sort out the situation? You know more. โ€

Anjo frowned. To be honest, he wasn't sure of his reasoning, but he said it after a little hesitation.

The singularity in Xie Huaichen's hand simulated a small-scale Big Bang. But that should just be a key-like tool that takes us into such a virtual space. After all, the Earth doesn't have to be the center of the universe. โ€

"But the shock wave still dispersed us...... What purpose would he have?"

Changsheng thought. Her eyes were turning the familiar red again, and she was making inferences about a myriad of assumptions.

"In this case, the scope of the battlefield will be too large, what good will it do him?" Shi Xue was puzzled, "Could it be that you want to starve us to death?"

"Since entering the clock tower, we have never felt hungry or physically tired. Remember what Qiu Miao said? There is no concept of time here, time is so slow that it almost stands still. So for him, the time war is pointless......"

So what's the purpose?

Every once in a while, they could hear the sound of explosions. Even, some places are very close, and it happens on someone's side. There is no such inexplicable phenomenon in the real universe. So what is it?

"Ah, do you remember, the mountain stream on the third level, and the hospital?"

Ultramarine suddenly spoke, and Yue Wange knew what she was thinking, and nodded cooperatively.

"The space in the mountains is real, but it's just a projection of a picture in the hospital. That is, Guardians can create new spaces in enchantments. Since the sight of the mountain will collapse, it proves that there is a limit to this space. It is impossible for Professor Xie to create an infinite universe. โ€

"You mean...... This is a false universe with boundaries, but where are the boundaries?"

Ultramarine stopped talking, she looked left and right, took Yue Wange's hand, and flew between different small meteorites. She must have used gravity to pull herself through.

"Look at the star cluster over there...... It should be a galaxy outside the Milky Way. โ€

Ultramarine seemed to have discovered something, pointing to a location in the distance. She turned around again and pointed in the other direction.

"Over there, it's an identical galaxy, and I see that the spiral arms of a third of them are just as thin, and you can't be wrong. That is to say......"

"He copied the same space!"

Yue Wange understood.

"We need to find the junction of the spaces, and maybe the professor is hiding there. Where this kind of handover, the space should be distorted. โ€

That being said.

How easy is it to find a surface in space in the vast universe?

However, there is no shortage of smart people among them.

"Manager, what do you see here?"

Chonglin pointed down, and Koney lowered his head, observing the appearance of the earth.

"What's wrong? It's Earth, right?"

"Yes, but you see, the east side of the Eurasian plate is not ......"

โ€œ...... Stop for a moment, my geography isn't good, you can just tell me what you found. โ€

"Ah, I'm sorry. I mean...... There seems to be something similar to ghosting here, like a map that has not been stitched together. โ€

"So?"

"So ......"

Chonglin's fingertips gradually moved up from the outline of the earth, pointing to a space somewhere horizontally. Konai looked over and saw nothing but a vast black and a scattering of stars.

"So you see, the whole space, it seems to be ...... Maybe that's where the puzzle fits together, let's take a look. โ€

Some people are already standing at the so-called borders.

Gu Qiancheng looked at the reflection that was exactly the same as himself with some curiosity, dazed, and a little instinctively afraid.

There seems to be a large, large dark mirror that reflects the whole space, and there are no borders.

Those brilliant stars, rainbow-like bands of light, and those distant and dreamy stripes are all faithfully presented in it.

She reached out and tried to touch herself in the mirror.

"Stop!"

Gu Qiancheng retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted, and when he saw himself behind him in the mirror, Ultramarine stretched out his hand. She was pulled away from the mirror by a force from outside, and then stopped beside them.

"...... this?"

"I see. โ€

Ultramarine pulls everyone around her.

"Antimatter. โ€

Matter composed entirely of antiparticles, that is, antimatter, is the anti-state of normal matter.

It has the same mass of electrons and antielectrons, but it has opposite charges, and everything else that can be reversed is also opposite. When they encounter their positive matter, they undergo a complete material-energy conversion, producing energy forms such as photons.

i.e. annihilation.

That is, those explosions are the result of the annihilation of countless particles of antimatter, positive matter of the same nature as them. Although rare, it is indeed built on a huge base.

With such tiny particles, Anseong's talent can't continue to decompose. Not to mention that they are almost unobservable.

"One gram of antimatter annihilation can produce 2 million kilocalories, which is about the same as two Hiroshima atomic bombs. โ€

Yue Wange recalled the contents of the book.

Gu Qiancheng panickedly swept his gaze over himself in the mirror. She couldn't imagine that if she had touched that figure just now, she was afraid that their climb would end here.

"I want to ...... I have a way. โ€

Ultramarine frowned, as if she had made a decision on a major plan.

She thought, if the large-scale annihilation really happened, then where would Professor Xie hide so that he would not be affected?

I'm afraid that this mirror is a plane similar to two dimensions. Most current theories suggest that large-scale separation of positive and antimatter in the universe cannot occur. Because the book says that there are no antimatter objects within the range of 30 million light years, which proves that there is no such thing as a large block of antimatter in the universe.

But Professor Xie has such ability......

It's a pity that he died young. Otherwise, by this time, cosmology must have advanced to a considerable extent. Maybe the whole world is a different place than it is today.

Ultramarine's pupil color slowly fades and gradually fades to a highly saturated blue.

She silently raised her hand, holding her breath. They guessed her intentions and walked away from the mirrored barrier.

They see themselves in the mirror gradually distorted.

For a long time, she wondered why such a young professor could do so much to publish such esoteric and obscure scientific papers.

Now she knows.

Everything in the darkness became mysterious, and everything was horribly deformed like a spiral galaxy. Those impurities and cosmic dust are elongated, separated, and absorbed, and even light cannot escape.

They don't hear anything. It is better to say that the medium that transmits sound in the pseudo-vacuum is also swallowed by this thing.

A singularity with infinite density, infinite curvature of space-time, infinitely small volume, and infinite heat is formed.

She used the gravitational field to create a monster that devoured everything.

Black hole.

When everything in their field of vision was squeezed in front of Ultramarine, Xie Huaichen's figure appeared in the vast pure black background.

You're amazing, if only you were my student.

He didn't seem to have much of a mood swing, but his eyes clearly said something.

Even, judging from his vision, there should only be an infinitely expanding ring of darkness here.

She could understand the meaning of the look.

Ahnshiro wondered why such a black hole would only have an effect on one side. But he suddenly realized that Ultramarines had borrowed the two-dimensional plane that Huai Dust had suppressed.

And he's hiding himself in such a plane. Today, it's disintegrating.

The familiar concussion appeared.

Everywhere they looked, like collapsed bricks or broken puzzles, piece by piece, fell off, shattered, and turned into dust, just as they had seen earlier on the third floor.

The black and white, light and darkness in those blank universes all dissipated and disappeared in an instant, turning into nothing.

They returned to the lab.

After seeing the majesty of the vast universe, anyone would think that this laboratory is so small and cramped.

"Two, you...... Huh?"

Liu Xili had just approached Ultramarine, and suddenly took a big step back.

She saw that ultramarine's eyes were coated with a faint bright red, like a film of blood, and the red was very unnatural.

In the next second, Ultramarine sat on her knees with her face hidden, her lips and teeth suppressing a cry of pain.

Yue Wange immediately squatted down and asked anxiously. She saw a striking amount of blood oozing from between Ultramarine's fingers.

Are there any side effects of overdose?

"She couldn't have created such a strong gravitational field on her own...... But, the dead have given you strength. โ€

"You make it clear!"

Shi Xue screamed. Her condescending and nonchalant tone was exactly what they hated the most.

"I told you...... The tower divides the energy of the victim equally among each sacrifice and the remaining guardians. You should know how to be grateful, to be grateful to the World Tower, and to every deceased. โ€

No one bothered her anymore.

"Look!"

Jiang Shuo stood next to the huge photograph in front of the workbench. He reached out his hand, stood on tiptoe, and pointed to something more vague beside the tiny globe.

Tao Zuozi walked over, and Liu Xili, Anjo and Konai also approached this side.

The thing looked big, like a stain that someone had wiped off with their fingertips. But if you look closely, you can see that it's a ring-shaped thing.

That's the line of sight, where light and gravity are evenly matched.

Maybe this photo is bigger, and you can see a small black shadow.

His position slows down in time, the frequency of light drops to infinitely low, and to the observer, light no longer exists.

Far enough away in the universe, he is still slowly falling, stalling on the event horizon of the black hole. Even if time still passes and everything goes on as usual, the professors that Ultramarines respect and do not belong to this era will forever be frozen above the boundaries of the black hole.

This is the boundary of events, and what happens within the boundary will not happen to you, me, or anyone outside the boundary.

To their observers, the black hole does not swallow him, he stays in the horizon forever.

For the material guardian of the Fourth Enchantment, the black hole devoured him, and he wandered forever in the universe he loved.

Maybe that's what he wants, maybe that's what he wants.
