Chapter Seventy-Five: The Plague of Angels
A finger swiped across the space of the venue, as if pressing the pause button, and the expressions below, either sarcastic or solemn, froze in the air, and Nick on the stage opened his mouth slightly, and his expression paused like a stone sculpture.
On the other side, Nick, who was already gray-haired, withdrew his right index finger.
"It's funny, I remember it a lot like sometime twenty-seven years ago, but I'm well aware that it never happened in my memory." All the effects of the solidification turned into a silver light and burrowed into Nick's palm, but it was in the form of a colorless crystal.
"It's certainly not something that's happened in this world, but it's certainly history." A mysterious man wrapped in black robes stood next to Nick. "This is the history of other parallel worlds!"
"And the only history!"
"Oh?" Nick, who had been acting very calm, finally raised his head: "Why?" ”
"Because the world that doesn't belong to this world line has been completely destroyed!" The black-robed man's voice was a little louder: "Don't you often wonder why an irreparable disaster has happened in this world? It's because your history is wrong, it's not in that person's script, you're a parallel worldline, you don't have this past! ”
"I think we are not alone in a world with a different past!"
"Yes, but you're the last!"
The black-robed man's voice was hoarse, he looked up at the sky, at this time he couldn't tell whether it was day or night, the sky was as bright as day, but the sun that occupied half of the sky had disappeared without a trace, replaced by countless stars, large or small, or dim, or dazzling. Densely packed, crawling all over the sky.
"There are as many parallel worlds as there are possibilities, but now ......" he pointed to the projection crystal in Nick's hand: "Before this, there were only two possibilities left in history, soon." There will only be one left. ”
"That's an infinite world!"
"So darkness and destruction are also infinite!" The black-robed man's voice was as dry as sawdust in his throat: "From that moment past, only history remains!" Immutable, past history! Born from the earth, from the origin of mankind...... From the moment He came, until the moment you saw it, all that remained was the line of the world that He had chosen, and it could never be changed. ”
"Therefore we will be destroyed." Nick said bitterly: "Because our history is not the one he chose, only by erasing our existence can the world be controlled by him on a fixed track." ”
"Yes. Kill the infinite possibilities of the universe, leaving the multiverse with only a fixed destiny. ”
"But I don't understand, why are you here?" Nick looked up at him, puzzled, "We are resisting to fight death and destruction, so why are you resisting?" ”
"For the sake of hope!" The black-robed man looked at the sky and said with emotion.
If you look into the distance, Nick's place will shrink rapidly, and an earthy yellow sphere will appear that has been pierced, which is the dry Earth. If you zoom out further, you can see countless stars. Spread over millions of light-years.
Hundreds of billions of trillions of stars converge into an endless sea of light, like a condensed ocean of stars, countless stars burn nuclear fuel, converging light into a high concentration of photonic colloids, so that human beings have to rely on the distorted space barrier outside the earth. Splitting the solar system and the Milky Way into two universes, the black, zero-light-speed death line protects humanity from thousands of planets around Earth.
There are tens of thousands of stars the size of the Earth, which crack like eggshells, and high concentrations of burning nuclear material are quickly torn from the stars. It then spreads out into the void in light years at unimaginable speeds, like black slits that devour the matter of the stars.
Then there was an extremely brilliant wing, sticking out of the star and spreading out in the dark vacuum.
And then the second, and the third, endlessly.
If humans were asked to describe such astronomical units that suddenly appeared, they would probably use angels because they are so similar, and because these celestial bodies or life forms are made entirely of highly materialized light.
But the real name of these things is - Sephiroth.
That is, "the outflow of divinity".
Or a more tongue-twisting name, a term simply defined by human science: "stellar quantum phenomena evaporating clouds collapsing intelligent lifeforms". In essence, it is the intelligence formed by the collapse of the part of the quantized evaporation of stellar matter in the case of high energy, which can also be said to be the soul of the sun.
Life is like a plague, born in the countless stars of the universe, and their survival is exchanged for the destruction of other life.
"The space defense system is 13% loaded, the gravitational pull around Sephiroth is too strong, there are many hundreds of thousands of stars of the magnitude of the sun in our ninety light-light years, and the gravitational pull they carry has distorted space! Our space barrier won't last long! ”
"Find a way to stop it!"
"This kind of supernova that is about to explode is about to form a black hole! How to stop it? ”
"According to the information, there are not many such giant celestial bodies in the entire universe, only six, and the headquarters has numbered them, numbered GC268 codenamed Michael, numbered KE907 codenamed Gabriel, codenamed BD342 codenamed Raphael, numbered AK213 codenamed Ulli ......"
The powerful force of matter distorted the space, causing the barrier to protect humanity to crumble, and with sheer mass, the six closest 'Sephiroth' of mass nearly collapsed the fragile barrier. But things aren't going to be half the way out now, and the strong gravitational pull has distorted the light around it for tens of thousands of light-years.
As if a dead line was spreading, a large area of the star field suddenly turned dark in the universe, but the Earth was the opposite, and they found that the light in other parts of the universe was gone...... This means that they are already in a black hole that is forming.
The light has struggled to escape the area.
"How's it going?" Nick frowned and asked a staff member next to him.
Despite experiencing despair several times, the staff still couldn't calmly face everything in front of him, he took a few breaths, and said crampedly: "They have surrounded us, tens of thousands of Sephiroth have appeared outside the cordon, the reason why they haven't approached yet is because the gravitational pull around the Seraph-level existence is so terrifying that even other stars will be torn apart if they are not careful." ”
"It's not that they can't get close!" The black-robed man suddenly interjected.
Nick glared at him, "What do you say?" ”
"Don't forget their essence, Sephiroth is quantum life, formed by the quantum plague - Genofa infected with the stellar light source, although it was later intelligentized by the war Skynet stellar matter, as a shell, but that is just a layer of their clothes, their essence is quantum life, it has no mass."
"You mean they're shirtless and can hug up?"
"If I have to be so analogous...... Yes! ”
"There are more stars in the universe than humans, and humans have always relied on the interaction between the gravitational pull of stars to prevent us from encountering several Sephiroth at the same time, you know, once celestial bodies of similar mass are close, the changes in orbit between them can soar geometrically, and the limit of human calculation is three celestial bodies......"
"I know, the three-body problem!"
"The limit of what Sephiroth can do is six, and they can control six stars with similar masses whose gravitational pull has a serious impact on each other, and if the difference in mass is relatively large, then it will inevitably happen that the massive objects will tear apart the small ones. This is also the advantage of human survival. ”
"But this is an illusion...... "The man in black shook his head and said, "The power of human existence has never been in our own hands, and it is He who really determines our time!" ”
"You have been refusing to tell me what kind of disaster we are facing, and now we have reached this point, can you tell me?" Nick asked calmly.
Sephiroth ...... Or the catastrophe of the archangels is just a disaster in this world, in other worlds, there are five gods, the avengers have not been destroyed, the star gods have returned from the depths of the universe, and the mutants have reappeared in the world, they are not desperate disasters at all, and there are many existences that can be their enemies. ”
The man in black seemed to be immersed in the memories of the past: "Even the four horsemen who made them are not irresistible, many times, we have destroyed the war Skynet, polluted death, fought the war with the famine zerg to the end of the universe, and fought hard in the plague. ”
"Although there are many times when you lose, it is not that you have not won."
"We have defeated the Tyranids, the Empress of Blades, destroyed the high-speed civilization of the timeline that is 1,200 times our timeline, destroyed the source of fire, strangled the undead natural disaster, fought the Titan giants, and perished with the entire universe, the entire material world that was intelligentized by Skynet, and polluted the quantum mind of death with hundreds of millions of victims."
"From the beginning of the Big Bang to the end of the world, we have created countless miracles, in the endless darkness, igniting the spark, but these worlds have only one ending in the end, which is erased by Him from the timeline."
"This is the enemy we are going to face, the most dangerous disaster in this multiverse."
