Chapter 942: Descending! |
According to Xiao Yu’s previous speculation, it seemed that besides pulling the Central Black Hole back into the three-dimensional universe where he currently was, Xiao Yu had another choice. That was to directly stop the operation of the ultra-strong gravitational source, cut off its gravitational connection with the Central Black Hole, and thereby cause the Central Black Hole to become lost. But unfortunately, Xiao Yu could not do this.
The reason he could not do this was still probability. Do not forget that after the ultra-strong gravitational source disappeared, although the Central Black Hole might become lost, it might also continue maintaining a stable gravitational connection with the Feiyuan Galaxy. If that happened, Xiao Yu would be finished. Xiao Yu would never again have any chance to intersect with the Central Black Hole. This method of using the ultra-strong gravitational source could only be used once. And if this time it were interrupted, yet the result still failed to make the Central Black Hole become lost, then the Dark Star Civilization could completely issue the command, ‘Destroy all ultra-strong gravitational sources created by Xiao Yu,’ which would completely block off Xiao Yu’s path of using this method in the future.
The command ‘Destroy all ultra-strong gravitational sources created by Xiao Yu’ was just like ‘Forbid any creation of Xiao Yu from entering that three-dimensional universe.’ It basically had no difficulty, and the backlash it caused would be within what the Dark Star Civilization could bear. Do not forget that even now, Xiao Yu’s use of the ultra-strong gravitational source was only possible because he had caught them off guard, secretly building it under the cover of continuously constructing transmission channels.
So once the ultra-strong gravitational source was activated, neither Xiao Yu nor the Dark Star Civilization would want it to stop midway.
The situation had already fallen into a deadlock.
Within the ultra-strong gravity created at the cost of the life force of those several hundred stars, the black dot representing the transmission channel connecting two different three-dimensional universes was continuously expanding. At this moment, it had already expanded to the size of an entire solar system and was still rapidly growing.
Even if it expanded at the speed of light, this dot could not possibly have grown this large in such a short time. But this was the movement of space, not the movement of ordinary matter, so it was not restricted by the speed of light.
“The Central Black Hole of the Feiyuan Galaxy, together with its surrounding accretion disk, has a total diameter of about three light years… This transmission channel is still far too small…” Xiao Yu sighed inwardly.
The balloon black hole was still violently absorbing any matter existing around it, while the thing guiding all this was the ultra-strong gravitational source within it. Up to this point, the ultra-strong gravitational source had already been operating continuously for more than an hour, and according to Xiao Yu’s prediction, it could continue operating for about another forty minutes before exhausting its energy.
“One ultra-strong gravitational source is already enough.” Xiao Yu thought.
“I truly did not expect that you had prepared such a move… It is indeed not bad.” At this moment, the universe civilization appeared once again. “Frankly speaking, we only care whether we bear responsibility. We do not care about victory or defeat in this battle. Xiao Yu, you have indeed exceeded our expectations, but we still have no confidence in whether you can obtain final victory. And to be frank once again, we are actually hoping for your failure. As long as you fail, we will have sufficient reason to make a move against you. And compared to most existences within the Spokesperson camp, compared to this Feiyuan Galaxy, you are the existence we wish to destroy even more… Just wait. When the Dark Star Civilization descends into this main universe, you will encounter another surprise…”
“Frankly speaking, I also truly do not care whether your civilization is friendly or hostile toward me. Because no matter what you are, your civilization, and the civilizations that bear hostility toward me, are all my enemies. You had better hope I do not grow stronger, because once I do, the first ones I will deal with will be you.” Xiao Yu also responded indifferently. “Losers have no qualification to babble here. You had better hide yourselves a little better and do not cause any influence on my actions. Otherwise, you too will bear responsibility for this defeat. Oh, right, you have already failed once before. If you do not want your responsibility to become even greater, then you had better honestly shut up.”
“Hmph, an ignorant fellow who does not know the immensity of heaven and earth.” The universe civilization coldly sent over a message. “Do not think that because you achieved a tiny, insignificant accomplishment under the protection of the Spokesperson, you have gained the qualification to stand on equal footing with us. If there is a chance, we will let you know exactly how great the gap between you and us truly is…”
The universe civilization’s message became more and more illusory, and finally gradually vanished without a trace. And Xiao Yu silently cursed in his heart, “Annoying flies.”
Another thirty minutes passed.
At this moment, the somewhat illusory black opening in space had already expanded to a diameter of more than two light years. But this was still not enough. The most critical moment had already arrived. What Xiao Yu was facing was a mountain, and Xiao Yu had already dragged this mountain some distance. It was now very close to its destination.
“Then, the final strike. Full activation.”
Xiao Yu silently issued this command.
The moment this command was issued, all of the remaining energy inside the ultra-strong gravitational source burst out in that instant. The energy load was so great that the ultra-strong gravitational source, which was as large as Jupiter, was completely destroyed in an instant. But that did not matter. It had already fulfilled its historical mission. It could now be destroyed in peace.
At this moment, a gravitational force too intense for words burst forth. The balloon black hole surrounding the former ultra-strong gravitational source finally collapsed with a crash at this moment, changing from its strange balloon shape into an ordinary spherical shape. In that instant, the speed of the accretion disk formed by the matter orbiting it increased a little more. Under movement approaching the speed of light, every slight increase in speed caused the contained energy to multiply several times over. Under such circumstances, after this black hole became an ordinary black hole and gained poles, the powerful matter jets shot toward the deep dark universe like a sharp sword at extremely high speed, violent enough to almost split open this region of space.
And at this instant, Xiao Yu finally saw the sight he had always hoped to see.
Xiao Yu saw that after the ultra-strong gravitational source released its final energy and was destroyed, the transmission channel representing the connection between different three-dimensional universes suddenly expanded, from a diameter of about two light years to about three and a half light years. And within that pitch-black opening, it seemed as though an ancient beast was roaring violently.
It was as if this ancient beast were about to break free of its cage and enter the real world.
A beam of energy advancing at extremely high speed, containing extraordinarily high energy, even higher than the energy of the jet from the black hole Xiao Yu had created, was the first thing to shoot out from this pitch-black opening. It was extraordinarily bright. Not only in the visible light spectrum, but in all other spectra as well. It was like a bolt of lightning tearing across a pitch-black night sky. It rushed at extremely high speed into one of Xiao Yu’s surviving bases, and in that very instant, this enormous base, as large as Earth, was pierced through and destroyed. One of Xiao Yu’s Star-Class battleships failed to dodge in time and was also pierced through by this energy beam in an instant, suffering severe damage.
Xiao Yu was now a Level 7 Civilization. How powerful were the Star-Class battleships built by Xiao Yu? A single one of them could contend against a complete Neutron War Star. Yet such a powerful battleship suffered severe damage in just that instant. If it had not dodged quickly, it was not impossible that it would have been directly destroyed by that energy beam.
This energy beam stretched across the heavens, unstoppable.
Although this energy beam brought Xiao Yu some unexpected losses, Xiao Yu felt no anger in his heart, only a hint of joy. Because Xiao Yu knew exactly what this thing was. It was one of the two jets of the Central Black Hole of the Feiyuan Galaxy, this massive thing with six billion times the Sun’s mass.
The jet originating from the Central Black Hole had finally once again arrived in this universe.
This meant that the Central Black Hole was right behind it.
Hundreds of years of planning, thought, experimentation, and arrangement had finally yielded rich results at this moment.
Xiao Yu knew that he had finally succeeded. The first step of this plan, the foundation of all his subsequent plans, had finally succeeded.
At the very next moment, the enormous body and endless power of the Central Black Hole of the Feiyuan Galaxy finally truly descended into this universe. Xiao Yu had finally truly seen it, seen the core ruler of this immense galaxy spanning one million light years.
Xiao Yu almost instantly issued the order to activate the chain-reaction Spatial Bombs he had arranged, but in the next instant, he could only withdraw that order and plan with a bitter smile.
“Of course. Once the Dark Star Civilization learned that pulling the Central Black Hole into this three-dimensional universe had become unavoidable, how could they not make arrangements against the Spatial Bombs?” Xiao Yu smiled bitterly. “It was my failure to think it through thoroughly.”
Just as Xiao Yu abandoned the use of the Spatial Bombs, in the very next instant, Xiao Yu saw the astonishing scene that appeared together with the Central Black Hole.
“What is that thing?” Xiao Yu murmured to himself, his heart filled with shock.
