The gray Gu mothership hovered silently directly above the vortex disk, and all the sensors looked down, staring at the starry sky flowing and gathering in the same direction below, as if it was being sucked into the sea water in the ruins, and it never belonged to this world.

In the cabin of the gray Gu mothership, the principle of the ring is rotating counterclockwise at a speed that cannot be captured by the naked eye, and the vast energy flows in every scale of the ring, shattering the microcosm, tearing the macrocosm, and pushing the time of the Dream Lost Star Constellation back in time.

Gray Wind lay on Russell's knees, staring curiously at the inverted spiral star map in the holographic stereoscopic projection, in which every bit of starlight flowing represented a star in the prime of life, compared to the Hive World Ship that followed behind the Gray Gu Mothership, it seemed so small.

It was also the first time that I had seen an astronomical scale of time rewind.

Compared to Grey Wind's exuberance, Colonia's mood was rather low, and she leaned down on Russell in despair, resting her chin on his shoulder, her face full of grievances.

I know, it's the kind of thing that I painstakingly put together half a magnificent castle out of building blocks, only to be asked to tear it down before it was completed, and all the blocks had to be put back in their place, but I still couldn't resist it...... Such grievances.

The reverse entropy reverses the time of the entire Lost Dream Cluster, and any bit of matter from the miniature galaxy will be retraced to its original state by the Ring Theory, back to that independent miniature universe, and become a corner of its own again.

During this time, Colonia collected biomass in the Dream Asternasia Constellation to grow the insect swarm, and invested a lot of energy to complete the biological assimilation transformation of the world of Fódla's Ark.

The biomass used to build the hive world also comes from miniature galaxies.

"I wasn't going to go back in the first place." Russell patted Colonia on the shoulder, and didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to say:

"The full unfolding of the Micro Galaxy is inevitable, and my original intention was for you to grow the swarm as much as possible here, and develop enough strength to go to war with the descendants of the warring party, which would be more secure."

"But I've also overlooked one thing: the expansion of the Lost Dream Cluster is an acceleration. As more and more galaxies are unfolded, the mass gap between this universe and the miniature universe is further widening. The growing strength of the siphon allowed the Miniature Galaxy to unfold far faster than I expected...... And I must not allow this war to happen when we are not prepared. ”

The stakes are high, and here the slightest possible slip could have catastrophic consequences.

So even if the backtracking of the Lost Dream Cluster would pull away all the biomass that Colonia had collected in the Lost Dream Cluster during this time, and return it to the miniature galaxy, making the hive world, which had taken a lot of time and energy to transform halfway, have to start all over again, Russell would have to do the same.

As for Colonia's mood, he could only say sorry to it.

"I'm sorry, it was my mistake that made all your work during this period of time go to waste."

Russell looked up at the swirling star map in front of him, which was shrinking smaller and smaller as it rotated counterclockwise, rubbed Colonia's ear, and said apologetically, "What do you want me to compensate you for?" ”

"Complement... Compensation ......" Colonia lowered her head with her flushed cheeks in her hands: "You don't have to give me any compensation, master, I am just a servant you raised, no matter how you are treated, I will ......bear it willingly"

So I still feel wronged...... Russell sighed. Whether it's Gray Wind, Colonia, or even the head of scientific research and Bernartita, why are the people around him so uncandid?

"How about I go back and give you Bao?" Russell asked softly, "Bao, who has cross-infected and mutated with the spores of the Orcs, has grown very fast, and Falla is now almost being greened into a jungle planet...... Critical Base's Planet 3 and its moons are still idle, do you want me to modify a few Gaia planets for you to eat? ”

"Huh? But, is that possible? Colonia's eyes lit up suddenly, and her flushed cheeks were full of excitement.

Then it felt that this was too much of a gaffe, so it hurriedly covered its mouth with both hands, trying to make itself look more ladylike, but the saliva that kept secreting from its mouth could not be stopped, and the sticky saliva slipped down from its fingers and dripped on the gray wind that pillowed Russell's knees.

"Pay attention to the image." Grey Wind reluctantly dismantled and reconstructed the saliva-stained hair.

The organism is so troublesome that it can't control even the most basic appetites.

Immersed in joy, Colonia doesn't care much about Grey Wind's dislike, and can get several delicious Gaia planets from her master as gifts, even if the hive world that was built with great difficulty has to disintegrate, it will no longer have any negative emotions.

Colonia swept away her previous depression and grievances, happily hugged Russell and kissed and nibbled, and her sticky tongue longer than an adult's arm licked his face with saliva, making Gray Wind gloat.

After being pushed away by Russell in disgust, Colonia was not discouraged, and instead looked with Gray Wind at the holographic star map projection in front of him with great interest—the spiral star group had now shrunk to less than a tenth of its original size.

The hive world, which has completed most of the assimilation process, floats above the astrolabe, and its crimson tentacles float in space, playing a similar effect to the sensors of the gray Gu mothership, allowing it to "see" the backtracking process of the Dream Lost Star Constellation more clearly and intuitively.

…… Wait, why is the hive world still the same as it was?

Colony Ayton wondered.

The biomass it used to construct the hive world was almost entirely collected from the indigenous planets of the Lost Dream Constellation. Now that the vortex had reversed and shrunk to less than a tenth of its original size, the planets it had swallowed before had long since disappeared into a dense stream of starlight.

The planets themselves have been backtracked, so why is the biomass I devoured from those planets intact?

The same doubts surfaced in the minds of Russell and Grey Wind at the same time.

Gray Wind took a handkerchief and wiped the saliva left on Colonia's face for Russell, and all the sensors of the Gray Gu Mothership changed the target to the Fudora Worldship floating behind him, and quickly completed a simple scan.

"Report Marshal, the total mass of the Fódlan-World Ship is basically the same as it was before the Ring Principle was activated, and there is no sign of being torn apart by the retrospection of time."

Colonia also answered: "I can feel that the Mother Tree of Life growing in the core of the World Ship is still functioning normally, and the development of the Spirit Race embryos in the bud room is also healthy, and it will not be long before the first larvae will be produced for you......"

Listening to their reports, Russell looked up and saw that the spiral constellation in the Lost Dream Nebula shown by the real-time star map had shrunk to the size of only one A-class star, and the once huge cluster of celestial bodies disappeared in a short period of time after the operation of the ring theory, leaving only the gravitationally disturbed dust cloud still floating in the void.

It's weird......

"Inverse entropy, did you notice anything unusual in the process of the operation of the ring principle?" Russell asked.

"Everything is normal, except for the energy consumed more than expected, there are no suspicious parameters, a near-perfect astronomical backtrack, Mr. and Lady Starbomber." The fist-sized cube core responds calmly.

"In the future, just call me my administrator, don't bring Mr. or Madam."

"Okay, Administrator."

In the center of the disk of the Lost Dream Nebula, the dense spots of light formed by countless stars are rapidly shrinking, first the size of stars, and soon only the size of planets, and then even Falla.

The inverse entropy theory has no suspicious parameters, that is, there are no suspicious parameters in the literal sense, and neither the operation of the ring theory nor the contraction of the spiral group of galaxies is completely in line with its calculation model, and the total amount of matter recovered for the miniature galaxy is not deviated.

But "nothing" itself is the most terrible thing.

Because matter will move in physical space, it will produce chemical reactions and transform into other forms, and even convert from matter to energy, but only it will not disappear or arise out of thin air.

"The biomass that Colonia collected from the Dream Constellation is still stored in the Fódlana Worldship, untouched by the backtracking of time. However, the total amount of matter recovered by the miniature galaxy in the retrospection is not missing......"

This violates the conservation of matter.

"What fills this hole?"

"And what is it that makes the biomass in the world of Fódlana detached from connection with the miniature galaxy, so that it cannot be traced?"

All kinds of strange phenomena happened at the same time, which made Russell's heart can't help but have some indescribable strange feelings, doubts, worries... Both.

The only thing that responded to him was the empty universe and the interstellar cosmic dust, which was unevenly distributed due to the gravitational disturbance of celestial bodies.

"Administrator, the vortex is about to completely retract back to the singularity, the damaged container of the miniature galaxy is expected to be repaired in 8 minutes, do you want to go and prepare for recycling now?" Inverse entropy inquiry.

Russell was still immersed in that strange state, and did not immediately answer the words of inverse entropy.

Gray Wind gently hugged Russell's shoulders worriedly, ready to turn into a torrent of micro-machines and completely devour him in his body: "Marshal, what's wrong with you?" I feel like you're a little weird, different from your usual, and...... It's kind of scary. ”

Even Gray Wind felt incredible, and he actually felt that the marshal was "terrible".

Colonia was afraid that Russell was used to it, and did not feel uncomfortable, and through the sharp synaptic nerves and the soul that merged, it could sense that the master seemed to be attracted by something now. Something seemed to be calling to him, and he wanted to respond.

So what is it?

Seeing that Russell had not given the order for a long time, and Grey Wind had not rashly approached the microscopic star cluster that was in the final contraction, for it, the strange condition of the marshal was now much more important than the miniature galaxy.

"Can you hear me? Marshal, I'll do a full body check-up for you at once, I-" Suddenly, Grey Wind's somewhat flustered words froze at the same moment as Colonia's concerned gaze.

One machine and one worm looked at each other, and they realized the same thing: "You feel it too?" ”

Greywind and Colonia nodded at the same time.

The holographic real-time star map in the cabin has become a red-hot ball of energy focused on the energy of countless stars, and it is getting bigger and bigger.

This is a visual error, and the cluster that gathers the entire Lost Dream Nebula is still shrinking until the return singularity. The reason why Grey Wind sees it grow larger and bigger is because it's getting closer

To be precise, the Grey Gu Mothership and the Fódla Worldship were approaching the microscopic group of galaxies at the center of the vortex.

"We've been captured! An irresistible gravitational pull is pulling us towards the singularity! Grey Wind immediately came to a conclusion.

But what is the source of gravity?

The answer is obvious.

Through the faster-than-light sensor, the gray wind can see that in addition to the miniature galaxy at the center of the vortex, the cosmic dust scattered between the stars has also been captured by some powerful force, attracted, and pulled into countless fibrous clouds and silk threads, stretching towards the singularity in the center of the vortex.

Grey Wind turned his head as if he were facing a great enemy, only to see a delicate ring of machinery quietly placed in the cabin - the operation of the Ring Theory had long since ended.

The violation of the conservation of matter in time regression, the huge gravitational pull of unknown origin, and, the marshal in a strange state......

"What the hell is going on here?" An emotion called confusion filled Grey Wind's entire consciousness.

Subsequently, when the Gray Gu Mothership was pulled by a huge gravitational pull into the converging endless dust, all of its shipboard sensors failed.

This failure is not that the signal is not detectable, but that too many signals are detected.

It saw, it heard, it smelled, and it touched...... Words that exist but don't exist float among the stardust.

Electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves, spectroscopy, vibrations, quark movements...... That signal is presented in every way. All energies and matter inside and outside the universe are singing a prayer about a being, whether positive or negative.

All sensors received the same signal in various forms at the same time, and an infinite amount of information poured into Colonia's mind from every nerve, echoing in Grey Wind's self-consciousness from every inch of loop.

However, when they really tried to decode the contents, they found that the vast amount of information was actually only a few sentences.

At this time, Russell suddenly sighed leisurely.

He looked away from the holographic projection in front of him, his calm gaze as if passing through the hull of the gray wind, directly at the anomalous singularity at the center of the vortex.

Russell did not speak, but a song was sung from his mouth:

"Time is horizon, gravity is desire."

"The past is the future, and the future is the past."

"Time is like a loop, and reincarnation does not stop."

"The Cycle of Time Never Ends, but Not Every Cycle ......"

Fragmented sentences, describing the origin, form, and end of an existence, Grey Wind felt as if he understood who the marshal was talking to, and as if he didn't really understand anything.

The very existence of "Him" is beyond the comprehension of all intelligent beings.

"Marshal, what's that?" Grey Wind asked softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing anyone's good dreams.

Russell also responded softly: "It's a worm." ”
