Vol 2 Chapter 834: Echo: I'm totally lost on epilepsy (760
Chapter 834 Echo: In terms of epilepsy, I completely lost (7600)
"The last demon..."
Finally heard the most important words, Ian shook his head and calmed himself down: "Life living in the event horizon? It's incredible..."
The ultimate star is a black hole.
At the end of its life, a massive star will be unable to resist its own gravity due to its nuclear fusion power, causing most of the matter to collapse inward, causing a supernova explosion and forming a black hole at the core.
The black hole has most of the mass of this star, and with this black hole as the origin, a 'layer' is formed at its Schwarzschild radius that is isolated from the outside universe, which is the event horizon.
Even if it is light, once it enters the event horizon, it will be completely unable to escape.
For beings like the incarnation of light and the star gods, apart from self-chosen death, only black holes can allow them to achieve the end in the conventional sense.
In short, from a common sense, any existence within the event horizon cannot have any impact on any existence outside the event horizon. The inside and outside of the event horizon of a black hole are basically two universes.
Not even a 'prophet' can predict things within the event horizon, they simply cannot be observed, let alone predicted.
However, 'True Ether' does not follow common sense.
As a universe-level civilization, star gods that have surpassed the speed of light and time, their creation "True Ether" has surpassed the gravitational force and event horizon of the black hole, and penetrated deep into the interior of the black hole.
And then... disaster happened.
"What is the last demon?"
Ian asked, he couldn't contain his curiosity, and couldn't help but say: "A massive star, its event horizon is only a few kilometers - of course, it is not impossible to be tens of kilometers or tens of kilometers, the supermassive mass of the river system Black holes may even have Schwarzschild radii larger than the orbits of some planets."
"It's just that, generally speaking, this space is very, very small...how can there be life?" Ian wondered.
【have no idea】
And echo's answer is very simple: 【Your question is very good, but I don't have the answer in my memory】
"What?"
Ian was stunned: "You even know the birth and origin of the Star God - but the biggest enemy of the Star God doesn't know!?"
【The birth of the star **** and the origin of all living beings are inherent in the soul of the source, and these memories are contained in the gift of the star god】
Echo said indifferently: [As for the demon of the end, so far, no one, whether it is a star **** or other civilizations, can understand what they are... life or a natural phenomenon? Is it a natural disaster or malicious destruction? I don’t know, I only know that the demon of the end will not move in a direction without light and gravity, and I don’t know anything else]
—The echo is hiding something.
Ian noticed the concealment of the other party, but it was not aimed at the Last Demon, but about the gift of the star god... As a gift for the pioneers, even if the gift of the star **** described the origin of the star **** himself, it was not Not surprising, but never in such detail!
But this question has to give way to the last demon: "But there must be some phenomenon—what kind of phenomenon does it create, so that all life can call it a 'demon'?"
【They destroy physics】
Echo said: [As if the laws of physics do not exist on them, whether it is a weapon or an observation equipment, it will be destroyed as soon as it gets close, and the laser will turn irregularly and randomly, crawling like a snake, and finally collapse completely; Deformation, and then suddenly disappear; using space strikes will burn the weapon itself, and the data tell us that we are doing work on the entire universe, just like trying to use a straw to blow up a sea of water, or use a cup to scoop up water, with the intention of Cut off the Taotao long river]
[But this is just their most harmless point—when these monsters climb out of the black hole, they begin to spread at the speed of light, extinguishing the surrounding stars]
【In the beginning, only a few years later, the surrounding stars suddenly collapsed and transformed into black holes... Then there were more stars in a wider range... Finally, superluminal speed】
【As if in the blink of an eye, a cantilever of the first disaster-stricken galaxy was swallowed up, and all the stars turned into black holes, and only twenty-eight years have passed since they were released】
The illusion in front of me began to change, and an originally bright four-armed river system suddenly dimmed. It was a dark gap formed by a large number of irregular circles, and all light was swallowed up and completely disappeared.
Another year passed, and half the galaxy was swallowed up.
And then... the entire river system disappeared, as if it had never existed.
This is the natural disaster of the universe [the end of the abyss]
A dark chasm across the universe.
Ian was silent.
He felt shuddering at the moment.
There are hundreds of billions of stars in a river system. Under the influence of the star god, there may be more than 100 million stars that can give birth to basic life, and civilizations on 10,000 stars can develop to the stage of civilization... They can all Looking at the stars.
However, in thirty years, the entire river system disappeared.
Hundreds of billions of stars are extinguished like this.
As if it never existed.
"The greatest fear...is the unknown..." The boy muttered to himself: "I don't know anything, a monster crawling out of the event horizon of the abyss of the universe from nothing."
"Originally, they just existed in the inconceivable hell, the existence of eternal silence, but the power of true ether that penetrates infinite time and space guides them out..."
"The Star Gods released these monsters, so they want to defeat these monsters, or stop this natural disaster..."
【In the cosmic space swallowed by the abyss, even the pi will change... occasionally it is 3.5, sometimes it is 4, and sometimes it is other transcendental numbers】
Echo said lightly: [Even the Pythagorean theorem will be deviated...not to mention those sophisticated instruments and weapons, only the most powerful civilizations can follow the star gods and fight against the final demon]
"But the Star God lost."
Ian calmed down instead: "I understand what you want to do."
"In your opinion, after the failure of the Star God, all the densely populated places in this universe will turn into black holes...even in the Star Prison."
【That is not Prisoner Prison, its real name is the Cradle of Tranquility】The echo denied Ian's title: 【The Star God is not only fighting against the Last Demon, but also working hard to protect all weak civilizations】
【The Cradle of Tranquility is such a project. It can 'disguise' a galaxy into darkness, as if there are no stars... It is a fortress and a high wall built by the star gods to protect us! 】
"It's all the same, regardless of the name." Ian interrupted Echo's words, he looked at the dark golden soul, and said word by word: "You have to escape."
"You have to escape to the 'big empty area' without any stars!"
The big void area refers to the hole in the universe structure.
From a macro perspective, all the galaxy clusters and even larger structures composed of stars in the universe look like a net.
A network cable is a material belt made of matter, and a place without matter is a void. In the void, let alone matter and light, there may not even be radiation. And this void is occasionally very large, with a diameter of more than hundreds of millions or even tens of millions. Billion light years.
"The Last Demons don't head towards a pointless void. Their goal is to turn stars into black holes."
Ian said softly: "Prisoner Star Prison, or the Cradle of Tranquility...whatever it is, in short, when it is completed, our galaxy will be protected and cannot be entered or exited."
"However, the cradle of our galaxy was shattered."
The crack on the Prisoner's Heavenly Prison.
At this moment, Ian really wanted to laugh—yes, he was already in the Avak laboratory, and he wondered if the Prisoner Prison mentioned by Grand Duke Thorin was really a prison, wouldn’t it be worth the candle? A super-giant prison with a radius of five light years, the cost of building this thing itself far exceeds the energy that can be provided by burning all the matter in a galaxy?
This thing is not so much a ban as a protection. Only a star **** who has mastered infinite power can spare no effort to build such a cradle.
to save tinder.
Yes. Hearing this, Ian already understood that Terra was chosen as the place where the fires were kept...the fires originating from thousands of civilizations were continuously sent to Terra.
The Star God back then may have set up the cradle here because he valued the stability of Terra.
So, after knowing the news, the high-level officials of Terra did not develop the FTL spaceship technology... Does it make sense?
When the cradle is closed, everything is limited within five light-years, and the outer universe is no longer a vast and boundless sea full of treasures and opportunities, but an extremely dangerous super civilization battlefield.
Even if the C'tan hadn't been defeated then, there's no way the people of Terra would have thought it a good idea to run around.
And now...
There is a gap in the cradle.
When all the surrounding stars became pitch black, only the direction of Terra would occasionally flash light.
It's like bleeding in a forest full of monsters, luring wild beasts to come and hunt them.
That's why Echo wanted to escape.
And fled to the large empty area.
[The large void area closest to our Terra galaxy has a radius of more than 2 billion light-years. As long as you enter it, the last demon will not chase after it. Even if their power spreads at the speed of light, at least I can hide 20 million years]
At this moment, Echo looked around the surrounding battlefield.
The swarm and cataclysmic soldiers led by the Ultimate Dragon and the Giant God Soldiers are still on par with the dark gold dragon led by Echo and the war machines of the pre-epoch civilization...but originally, Ian had the advantage.
But because Ian's mind was shaken and he was distracted by these ancient truths, this time it was a tie...Echo even had a slight upper hand.
This should be happy, but Echo calmly seems to be talking to himself: [2 billion years...enough for a lot of things to happen. If someone can defeat the Last Demon, 2 billion years are enough]
【If the last demon wants to destroy the intelligent life and even the fire in the entire universe, 2 billion years are enough】
【I can wait】
"You just ran away."
Ian whispered: "Escaping is not waiting."
【…You do not understand】
Echo turned his head, he took a deep look at Ian, and said with a smile: [The first disaster from the sky was caused by the fire from Thousand Stars hitting Terra, which made the Star God discover this place located in a remote stable zone of time and space. The river system... To this day, the fire of thousands of stars is still lurking under the land of Terra. When the time comes, it will revive, devour everything, become a complete fire, and then set off to continue endlessly in the darkness. running]
【This is the first destruction. And the second catastrophe from the sky was also a natural disaster that destroyed our civilization, because the Star God’s fire transport spacecraft was destroyed]
【The reason why it was destroyed was precisely because there was a fragment of the ‘Demon of the End’ sealed in the spaceship】
Ian's eyes widened, his pupils vibrating.
Memories flowed quickly in his mind, and he recalled the dark void that suddenly appeared on the rainbow spaceship!
"That is the trace of being attacked... not from the outside, but from the inside!"
The boy's body was shaking, and he felt a chill rushing up his spine: "Our galaxy... even Terra has an end demon?!"
【Who knows, if it is the star gods, they must have tried their best to destroy the demon of the end. Since they dare to ban it, it means that they have certain countermeasures】
Amidst the shaking, Echo's dark golden army once again oppressed Ian's army, approaching step by step, he said slowly: [But we can't all rely on the star god. They have failed, they are dead...]
【But even if there is no Last Demon, if the protection of the cradle fails, Terra will eventually be destroyed... It may be a hundred years, it may be a thousand years, or it may be tomorrow—who knows? One thousand and six hundred years have passed since the disaster of falling from the sky. Even if you didn't notice it at first, you must have noticed it now, right? 】
【So we have to escape from Terra, which is already unsafe—even if the cradle repairs itself, the coordinates of Terra have been exposed. We must leave Terra before the cradle repairs itself, the sooner the better】
【Otherwise, when the cradle is repaired, we can only be locked in it, unable to escape, unable to leave, and can only wait for the doom that will come at an unknown time】
Echo wasn't angry, or shouting, or hysterical. At this moment, He just calmly stated the truth he knew, the desperate truth: [So, future ignorant juniors, can you understand my choice now? 】
[In this infinitely vast universe, the all-out attack of the star **** civilization can instantly destroy countless galaxies and even the structure of the universe, and even the universe itself will be shaken, and the war between the star gods and the demon of the end is one A monstrous wave roaring in the cosmic sea]
【We are just mayflies in this monstrous wave. Now that the tide is rising, we at the top think we are calm, but when the wave falls and hits the sea, we will be completely smashed to pieces】
At this point, Echo even laughed out loud, but there was no joy in the laughter, only pure bitterness and firmness: 【Too empty, too meaningless. Our civilization has developed for thousands of years, and has experienced countless disasters and opportunities. The great men, heroes and people among us have shed blood enough to dye all the rivers red on the earth, and finally created a Datong society. Dreams can be realized, so that everyone can live a stable life, have a house and clothes, and have a good meal]
【But actually? Our civilization is nothing more than an accident that was born during the brief 'gap' between the two battles in heaven. It is as insignificant as Mars in the universe. Even if it is valued by the star gods, our civilization is still just dust. All civilizations It's all just dust]
【Young people of later generations, you don’t understand this horror at all. Countless civilizations, countless races, and endless countless lives are all dying, destroying, and burning—the stars are dimmed, and the galaxy is falling into the abyss , all because of the war between Star God and Destiny, the meaningless splash of their battle in the universe can destroy dozens of civilizations like ours]
【Whether we are struggling to develop technology, or giving up everything to spend the rest of our lives; whether we go outside the cradle, or stay inside the ‘heavenly hell’ you call... the result is the same, we can’t change anything】
【In front of the universe, we are just dust】
This is the greatest tragedy.
All civilizations, all life, will have an illusion after birth.
—I am the protagonist. I am special.
Such confidence will accompany their growth, shaping their self-will, shaping the culture and philosophy of civilization, and shaping a common consensus and cognition, so that civilization and individuals can be confident and grow.
But really, it's all lies.
In front of the universe, everything is nothingness.
In the face of the Star God and the Last Demon, all the substances in the Terra star field may not add up to a round of 'ammunition'.
This gap is even bigger than that of ordinary people facing fifth energy level ascendants.
At this moment, even Ian felt a meaningless sadness.
A person's lifetime may be decades.
The elegy of a civilization, probably thousands of years old.
The rise and fall of a race may take tens of thousands of years.
No matter how brilliant, how prosperous, how epic, when people die, civilization dies, and genocide is extinct, what remains is nothingness.
It doesn't take thousands of years, everything will be buried in a hundred years.
Don't talk about the grand stuff. Just one person.
When a person dies, if he is an ordinary person, he will be forgotten in a few years, and only his relatives will remember him. When the relatives are separated by several generations, no one will remember unless they worship the ancestors.
Even great men will lose their sacrificial offerings, leaving only records in ancient books. But classics also need people. When people die, all stories will end.
nothingness.
No one remembers those lives, no one listens to those elegiac songs, no one sings those stories of rise and fall... This is forgetting that is more terrible than death.
This is nothingness.
Even cockroaches wandering in the wasteland will be annihilated. All living creatures, all traces of history, are nothingness in the face of doomed destruction.
When the star turns into a black hole, when the light of the star disappears completely, even if the planet is not destroyed by the possible supernova explosion, everything on it will become meaningless.
so…
"There will be kindling..."
The white-haired boy said in a trembling tone: "The hope for the recovery of civilization? That's not the purpose at all, it's just a hope... It's just a tombstone, just a tombstone to fight against nothingness..."
"Defeat. Facing an enemy that can never be won, facing an end that must be defeated, in order to get out of the despair that is certain to die, I struggled to create the last resistance... a tombstone named Tinder."
【Yes, you finally understand】
Echo sighed: [This is the decision we made in a very short time after we were born]
【Tara is hopeless. No matter how prosperous the new civilization in the post-apocalyptic era develops, it will eventually face the end of extinction. I can only record the information of this era, make it into kindling, and then leave]
Too nothing. It's so small.
Terra civilization is caught between a cosmic civilization and a cosmic disaster battlefield, unable to decide its own destiny at all... Not to mention, the cosmic civilization with good intentions has disappeared.
At this moment, Ian saw many, many things through the communication channel of his soul linked by the echo.
He saw a majestic snake emperor dragon descending on Terra, fighting and defeating the major sanctuaries.
He saw that there were giant algae that covered the sky and psychedelic things that fell with the meteorite, and were finally suppressed in the earth's crust.
He saw a huge earth titan roaring and throwing it up the mountain, but was beheaded by the strong human beings on the shore of the North Sea.
Ian saw many fire seeds, and the ultra life forms bred in the fire seeds.
Some are events that Echo himself knows, some are the memories of the people who merged after the echo, and some are the messages from later generations who don’t know who input it to him... But they all failed, because Terra civilization still exists.
And finally, Ian saw darkness.
In the ancient stone age, the pitch-black tide boiled and swept across the entire continent, completely absorbing all biomass and merging it into itself...until the sword of light fell from the sky and sealed it in place.
That is the beast of a thousand stars. The original tinder.
【They failed. Our civilization is the same, we must survive, no matter what means]
With that said, Echo strode forward, and at this moment, when Ian was shaken by this incredible truth, the dark golden dragon overwhelmed the three-headed Ultra Dragon, and the huge Battle Titan controlled the rampage giant soldier.
Although the other soldiers are still struggling, after losing their hero units, they can only say that they are meaningless in front of millions of echo bodies.
The last echo stretched out his hand and pressed it on Ian's forehead. He said in a deep voice: [So, handing over your gift of the star god—whether you plan to stay in Terra or go out to explore, it is meaningless Why don't you give them to me and let me lead Tinder to the final wandering! 】
The golden light suppressed the silver-blue light. At this moment, there is no doubt that it is the final decisive moment, and the final echo has an absolute advantage.
If this battle is one-on-one.
“…what an incredible truth.”
Even though his forehead was pressed by the echo, and the summoned soldiers and road units were suppressed, Ian's tone seemed to be still immersed in the shock of the previous truth: "This truth, even in the entire Terra, no one else knows Well... at most, I know part of it."
"But even a part of it is scary enough. Who would be willing to be dust? The prison that imprisoned us is actually the cradle of protection? Terra will eventually perish. If you want to avoid it, you can only escape, and there is no escape. Hollow area, pointless waiting..."
Closing his eyes, Ian's expression was calm. Echo thought that the boy had given up, so he tried to attack, but was blocked by his extremely strong spirit: [What do you mean? 】
"I mean."
Opening his eyes, Ian looked at the annoyed and puzzled echo, and said calmly, "Because of this, I must leave the cradle."
"Besides, I will not run away. I will face the star **** or the last demon until I die."
【Crazy? ! 】
At this moment, Echo realized in astonishment that not only did Ian's will not become as fragile as he imagined, but it became more firm after being shaken: [You clearly know that this is meaningless at all, if you go, you will just die, Maybe it disappeared without even knowing it! 】
"You don't understand at all." At this moment, the blue light in the white-haired boy's eyes became more and more intense: "What is nothingness, what is meaningless, it seems that human beings can live forever... It’s something that might self-destruct after a few thousand years, it’s that kind of thing, after all, it’s nothing more than dust, so why are you afraid of death?”
"Some things, even if you know you will fail, you have to do it. That is courage!"
It is like burning with a fierce fire, like forging with a hammer, the impurities in the original metal are hammered out.
Under the bombardment of the truth, under the torture of nothingness, Ian's will, which was more or less doubtful because he didn't know the truth, is now as strong as refined steel.
Get tougher, crazy and determined!
The golden soul was stunned, in this respect, he really lost! Lost thoroughly!
At this time, Echo's fingers were like sharp claws, piercing the flesh and blood on the head, and the blood kept leaving, but Ian showed a hearty smile, and he laughed loudly: "I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be a mere The destruction of civilization is nothing more than a death in the end—Echo, the pioneers said that you have deteriorated very seriously, and now it seems that it is true!"
"You group of information beings with theoretically infinite lifespans don't understand the human spirit at all... Self-exile is death, staying in Terra until the final demon arrives is death, the thousand-star beast wakes up is death, it may exist, God The resurrection of the last demon on the crashed spaceship is death, and even the destruction of human civilization in the fifth energy level civil war is death—"
"Since they are all dead, why not die on the way to explore the mysteries of the Star God and the truth about the Last Demon?"
"Since they are all dead, why not die on the journey to the distant place?!"
"Since they are all forgotten and meaningless, why do we have to run away and wait, instead of taking action, struggling, surviving, and trying to knock out a spark from the irresistible enemy?"
"As long as He looks at me, I will win!"
【Huh—you are really 10,000 times crazier than me! 】
Now, how could Echo still not understand that he really misjudged the distortion, bewilderment and madness of the person in front of him? Ian can even say such words, God knows what else he can't do!
But the good thing is that the truths I have thrown out have indeed shaken Ian—so in the confrontation of souls, it is now his absolute advantage!
【Just resist! 】He said in a deep voice:【No matter how sublimated your will is, if you are linked by my direct physical advantage, your soul will be completely assimilated by me in half an hour—at that time, you will also become our echo A member, together with the gift of the star **** in your body! 】
"Half an hour? Too slow!"
And Ian sneered: "Guess why I listen to you so much? I don't really think I'm going to kill myself to know the truth, do I? It's because the silver chip tells me that my friend is approaching me quickly—yes Yes, I will indeed lose my calm because of the truth, and will be shaken by knowing more unknown and incredible truths."
"I will risk my life for your truth, and even lose my own advantages... This is my character flaw, but don't you?"
At this moment, the hurried footsteps of two people sounded in the extremely cold ice dragon's lair.
Both Ian and Echo heard these two footsteps. Ian's smile became brighter, while Echo's complexion became more gloomy. The young man smiled heartily: "You can only assimilate other lives, right? You All the echoes are fighting me, this is your full strength... and I did exert my personal strength to fight you, and now I am at a disadvantage."
"However, a person's strength definitely does not come from himself, but also from his friends and his relationships!"
—Ian, are you okay? !
—Wait, Siou, he's connected to the dragon's reverse scale port...they're fighting a soul battle!
Such a voice could be vaguely heard, and when the echo surface sank like water, Ian laughed loudly: "I have many friends, but you have none!"
"Echo, this is your character flaw!"
