Chapter 186 Sun Squid, Wormhole Ancient Monument

Buzz –

As soon as Mu Cang stepped into the wormhole, he felt like he had come to another real starry sky.

From a visual point of view, in front of him, in addition to the huge round hole-like pitch-black wormhole cavity in front of him, which was as big as an abyss, and like a small wormhole, there was a vast and boundless cosmic starry sky around him.

Surrounded by infinite billions of stars, nebulae, and star clusters that constantly radiated purple, blue, and white dazzling starlight, they were crowded up and down, left and right, just like Mu Cang was tightly wrapped in the entire universe.

The intense radiation contained in those starlights, Mu Cang could conclude that no one below the transcendent level could resist it, and the Susuma would be penetrated by a variety of rays of ultra-high multipliers to collapse the genes and body, and erode the soul and mind.

He deduced that the seemingly real galaxies around him might be essentially just 'pictures' on the inner walls of the passage.

This hundreds of millions of starlight should be the 'images' transmitted by the stars that exist in countless unknown star fields in the infinite universe through some unknown means, and the distance between them and Mu Cang is absolutely immeasurable.

But even so, in the face of such a magnificent and gorgeous cosmic wonder, Mu Cang couldn't help but clap his hands and exclaim: "Beautiful!" ”

Then, step forward.

After this step was taken, the infinite cosmic galaxy that was closely surrounded by it underwent a great change.

Hmmm-

As Mu Cang stepped out, the vast starry sky surrounded by infinite stars and nebulae actually twisted and rotated around him at an extremely fast speed in an instant.

This scene is changing and the stars are moving, and it is gorgeous to the extreme.

It was as if he was the real center of the universe at this time, and with every step, the countless stars and billions of stars would dance wildly with him.

"Oh?"

Mu Cang stopped in slight surprise, and the boundless sea of stars up and down, left and right, also suddenly stopped with his movements.

"Interesting."

One more step.

The immeasurable sea of stars also rotated at great speed again, with him as the center.

Appreciating this rare cosmic wonder, Mu Cang smiled, no longer hesitated, and flew forward in an instant.

In an instant, the infinite billions of stars that came from all sides spun like crazy around him, turning into a blazing white channel composed of immeasurable dazzling starlight, allowing it to fly and gallop in the path.

In the midst of the gallop, Mu Cang had a whim, and suddenly poked out more than a dozen divine thoughts and rushed towards the 'wall' of the galaxy that was spinning around him.

He wanted to find out what the material that made up the 'wall' was.

But as soon as these divine thoughts flew in all directions, they inexplicably fell into the dilemma of spinning in place or even returning back.

Seeing this situation, Mu Cang retracted his divine thoughts and controlled his probe in the forward and backward directions, but found that it could operate normally and was not hindered in the slightest.

"It's only the front and back directions, isn't it...... Is this a special property of the cavity inside the wormhole? ”

Mu Cang, who was traveling at sub-light speed, was puzzled, and began to carefully perceive the structure and nature of the surrounding space.

Soon, with the parallel assistance of delusional consciousness and chaos calculation, he finally figured out the specific reason.

Syllable!

After trying to open up the warp bubble failed, Mu Cang raised his head and looked around and whispered:

"I see, this space only has two concepts of [front] and [back] in terms of [direction] attributes, and the nature of space itself is also very different from the outside universe, so it is impossible to sail at warp speed."

"That's it, settle down and move forward."

The idea was certain, and Mu Cang's figure flickered and flew into the black abyss in front of him.

Suddenly, a stream of sparse matter with a slight fluctuation of life blows in front of me.

"What's that?"

As soon as Mu Cang's thoughts moved, he 'restrained' a fist-sized mass of sparse matter and pulled it closer to observe.

In the microscopic field of vision, there are millions of cell-like elliptical organisms in the sparse mass of matter.

All the time, these creatures did their best to absorb the energy of the photon beams that swept through the wormhole space.

As soon as he saw this, Mu Cang suddenly understood: "It turned out to be Xinghai energy-absorbing bacteria." ”

That's right, he recognizes this life.

In the memories of the Mercury crew, this microorganism is one of the six major disasters in the galaxy along with the Galactic Tyrant, and the microbes called Xinghai Energetic Bacteria are all over the galaxy, and can be called the most successful life group in the entire galaxy in terms of multiplication of offspring.

At the same time, it is also the most hated life group of all civilizations.

This energy-absorbing bacteria do not need any nutrients in a healthy state, and can survive and reproduce as long as they have energy.

The way it reproduces is as simple as it is magical.

They act like radio stations by emitting gravitational waves of a specific frequency to propagate information about their genetic traits towards the speed of light in all directions.

As long as there is any material region with a certain density in the universe, such as interstellar dust clouds, comets, asteroids, etc., when these areas receive this gravitational wave, they will magically self-aggregate to form a group of energy-absorbing bacteria larvae.

Its bizarre reproduction mechanism has attracted many civilizations to study it, hoping to find a usable part of its genes, or to produce a virus weapon against that species.

But in the end, they all failed.

These civilizations found that the species did not have a specific genetic structure at the material level.

Its existence is as natural as a natural phenomenon.

In the end, it had to be stopped.

However, don't look at their small size and think they're easy to deal with.

The vitality of these little things is actually far more perverted than the undead little strong water bear insect on the blue star.

They have super regenerative ability and can adapt to ultra-high temperature, ultra-high pressure, high magnetic and high radiation environments, as well as ultra-large gravitational acceleration.

It can even open a film 100 times its own area, and use the light pressure of the star as the power to carry out a long interstellar voyage with 10,000 years as the unit of time.

Moreover, after certain conditions are met, this Xinghai energy-absorbing bacterium will also evolve into a ship energy-absorbing beast with a larger body, higher energy-absorbing efficiency, and stronger survivability (see Chapter 153 for details).

This energy-absorbing beast possesses an incomparably sensitive ability to detect energy sources, as well as a terrifying ability to absorb without regard to physical material barriers.

Like psoriasis, they will look for every opportunity to attach to the surface of ships traveling in the universe, and constantly absorb the internal energy of the ship through the thick hull, causing serious unnecessary energy consumption and power loss of the ship.

If they don't meet a good energy source like a starship, they will fall into an endless sleep, and they will wait for 10,000, 100,000, and millions of years while using the light of the stars to make interstellar voyages.

Interstellar civilizations that have matured at the technological level have nothing but an aversion to this creature.

It can neither be exploited nor extinct.

But if left alone, with the passage of time, the continuous navigation of the starship will be greatly affected, so it can only be sanitized over and over again, just like the ships on the blue star regularly remove the barnacles on the bottom of the ship.

And once the low-level civilization that has just set foot in the interstellar encounters them, it will suffer a catastrophe in the development of aerospace.

Because the rudimentary spacecraft of the lower civilizations, which rely on fossil fuels to generate energy, are completely unable to withstand the energy extraction power of these creatures, and there is no particularly effective way to kill them.

Of course, these creatures are not without their weaknesses.

Because they do not have active flight organs, they are relatively loose in the material structure of the body and have a relatively low density.

So once you fall on a planet, you can't return to the starry sky.

As long as they are in the high-gravity environment of the planet's interior, these creatures will die quickly.

For example, on the Blue Star, the translucent colloids of so-called 'angel hair' found in the atmosphere by some pilots are actually the remains of the corpses left behind by such beings after they inadvertently fell into the planet and died.

Of course, these characteristics are nowhere near enough to make them so-called galactic disasters.

What really makes Xinghai energy-absorbing bacteria among the six major disasters is their evolutionary products.

To put it simply, the Star Sea Energy Absorbing Bacteria can evolve into a ship Energy Absorbing Beast.

And the ship energy-absorbing beast can evolve into an energy-stealing monster.

Just the most basic energy stealer, its ability to absorb, store, and use energy has already completely exploded the big boss in "X-Men: First War" - Black Emperor Sebastian Shaw.

Even the Plagiarists don't have a mind at all, and they are not affected by any spirit, heart, or soul skills.

Instinctively driven by their instincts, they will raid the fleets of civilizations in droves.

Even after evolution, they are no longer afraid of the gravity of the stars, and will directly parachute to the surface of the planet, greedily devouring the energy contained in all objects, turning them into cold and dead pieces.

And when the Energy Stealer evolves to the extreme, it will become a giant overlord creature entrenched in the depths of the stars, the Sun Squid.

That's a real bunch of space vampires.

They will wander the stars in groups in search of stars to hunt for.

Once discovered, they will rush to the sky, greedily and frantically sucking on the stars.

The latter's billion-year-long lifespan, under this kind of swallowing, will be drastically reduced by millions, millions, or even hundreds of millions of times.

This would be a catastrophe for the civilization that inhabits the star field where the star is located.

"It's a very troublesome and dangerous species, and it's really weird."

Mu Cang used his divine thoughts to dissect these microscopic beings inside and out, and found that they were indeed as simple as in the fat captain's memory, with a simple structure, but he couldn't find how these creatures could gather from a cloud of interstellar dust to build a living creature.

Shaking his head, he shattered the energy-absorbing bacteria into countless atoms and scattered them casually, and Mu Cang continued to fly forward.

During the flight, he noticed that the wormhole cavity was not a perfect straight line, but a very irregular twist and turn.

On the inner wall of the passage like a cosmic galaxy, there are dark and secluded forks scattered irregularly, with diameters ranging from more than ten meters to two or three hundred meters.

There is no end in sight, and there is no clue where it leads.

Mu Cang found that as long as this kind of fork appears, the spatial nature of the wormhole will change, and the direction is no longer only front and back, but there are more options, such as these unknown forks that are 'inlayed' on the inner wall of the wormhole cavity.

As far as Captain Fat remembers is, they fled from the far other side of the wormhole in the opposite direction.

Along the way, there are thousands of forks in the wormhole that have been hastily recorded.

In a sense, they only came from a fork in diameter, and they didn't know how many forks there were in this strange wormhole like a giant beehive, and where they would go.

Even, in the universe that is already 13.7 billion years old, the mercury fleet could not be the first life to arrive here.

For example, the Galactic Tyrant, one of the six major disasters of the galaxy, just got into this wormhole many years ago, and has been sleeping strangely until now.

In the distant past, there must have been many lives that had entered this wormhole at different times.

Where have they gone now? What forks in the road did you enter? Did you pass it successfully, or did you die silently in some unknown fork in the road?

Mu Cang also didn't know.

All he knew was that just a short distance away, there were dozens of forks of different sizes on the inner wall of the wormhole.

The wormhole cavity is so long as a whole, and the number of forks will definitely not be only the thousands in the fat captain's memory.

There may be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of millions.

They have never been fully discovered and experienced, but have been sleeping quietly in the vast and vast space of the universe for countless years.

I don't know when it was born or why.

I don't know how many strange sights and things are hidden inside.

For example, those tiny energy-absorbing bacteria.

They live in small worlds, living and dying, and living from generation to generation.

Until millions of years and tens of millions of years later, when the wormhole collapses at some point, it also dies out with it.

Thinking of this, Mu Cang suddenly raised his head, and his expression suddenly rose.

Once on earth, he was not a small fish and shrimp.

In a corner of the world, as the tide of time drifts with the waves, fate also rises and falls.

Maybe many years later, he will die of illness, or he will die of natural and man-made disasters.

But fortunately.

Luckily, he made it!

There is also the 'Infinite Attribute System'.

He, Mu Cang, has the opportunity to get rid of the ordinary and sad fate, and get rid of the short lifespan of a mortal in just a few decades.

Xuan Chengzi, Gai Zhoutian, Wu Zhan, Hexagram, Monroe Holmes, Mycenil, the original devil......

At this time, these people seem to be just a little bit of a glimpse into a higher level of life.

He will always improve and be strong forever.

No matter what the enemy, what difficulties in the future...... It's just talking!

"There is nothing important in the world except life and death."

Mu Cang grinned, and his heart suddenly felt a burst of happiness, and the speed of the speed of the gallop also increased by two points.

At this moment, an extremely subtle wave of information quickly passed through the perception.

"What's the situation?"

Mu Cang was surprised and turned his head to look to the right.

That's where the message comes from...... A deep space-time fork with a diameter of only more than three meters.

The fork in the road is not unusual, and Mu Cang has seen many along the way.

What is strange is that at its entrance, there is a damaged and dilapidated 'monument'-shaped square object full of age, which is stuck there.

The monument, made of unknown materials, is more than three meters tall and more than one meter wide.

The 'stele' is painted with a large number of delicate and complex patterns, although the lake is not clear, but Mu Cang can still feel the strange beauty of these patterns.

"What is this? Hiding in the depths of a wormhole? ”

Curious, he urged his divine thoughts to sweep towards the mysterious 'stele' body.

Suddenly, a huge but fragmented stream of information poured into Mu Cang's mind.

At the very beginning of that information, it was clear that there was a strange incandescent text that rotated in 3D, but crawled with ravines and mottled cracks.

This broken three-dimensional text alone contains a large part of the content:

【…… Latecomer, welcome to Battleground 137 of the Westem Federation, where the Overseer, Saknusem, salutes you......]
