Chapter 950: Thirty Percent |
After Xiao Yu input the strange changes he had observed into the virtual universe, Xiao Yu confirmed that under the combined influence of the other stars in the Feiyuan Galaxy and the Central Black Hole, a special spatial fluctuation would be generated, and the location of this spatial fluctuation was precisely the region of space where this enormous Level 7 Alien Beast was located.
Frankly speaking, Xiao Yu did not know what this special spatial fluctuation meant, nor what kind of consequences it could cause. But Xiao Yu knew one thing, this spatial fluctuation would definitely create an obstacle to his killing this Level 7 Alien Beast and prevent his strategic objective from succeeding, just as before, when the Dark Star Civilization used the Logic Weapon to stop him from cutting off their supply line and to stop him from destroying their logistics base.
But now, a different thought had arisen in Xiao Yu’s mind.
Also frankly speaking, Xiao Yu did not want to give up this opportunity to kill the Level 7 Alien Beast. Because as long as this Level 7 Infinite Proliferation-Type Alien Beast was killed by Xiao Yu, then even if the Dark Star Civilization possessed the Logic Weapon, their threat to Xiao Yu would no longer be very great. The Dark Star Civilization would not use the Logic Weapon to issue some super-difficult task like ‘Destroy Xiao Yu,’ then willingly die under the backlash of the Logic Weapon, would they?
If he killed this Level 7 Alien Beast, Xiao Yu would be much closer to success. So Xiao Yu did not want to give up.
But the Logic Weapon had clearly already been activated. If one looked at it according to common sense, Xiao Yu had no chance to achieve his goal. No matter what strange and inconceivable reason it might be, in the end Xiao Yu would fail.
But what if the problem was considered from another angle?
Xiao Yu had previously already considered the issue of whether the Logic Weapon could fail. In other words, when a command was being carried out by the Logic Weapon, was it possible for that command not to be realized? In other words, could it happen that the Logic Weapon did not take effect?
This kind of situation absolutely had to exist. The reason was simple. It was impossible that there was only one Logic Weapon in the universe. Then when two Logic Weapons simultaneously issued two contradictory commands toward a single target, one of those Logic Weapons would inevitably fail. For example, one Logic Weapon commanded a certain star to explode, while the command of another Logic Weapon was that this star must not explode. Then no matter whether the final result of that star was explosion or non-explosion, it would always violate one of the commands issued by those two Logic Weapons. This was very simple logic. No field verification was needed to prove that there must be times when the Logic Weapon failed.
And when he held a complete advantage, and by every measure he should have achieved his goal, by what methods would the main universe itself obstruct him? Could he defeat these obstacles?
Xiao Yu did not know these questions, but Xiao Yu was very interested in trying.
The Executor Trap was only a method born of helplessness. When victory was clearly within reach, yet one was forced to painfully give it up, this was torment for anyone. So this time, Xiao Yu did not plan to give up. Xiao Yu intended to challenge the Logic Weapon head-on.
“If I ultimately fail, then there is nothing much to say. It would merely prove the power of the Logic Weapon. But… if I succeed, then what would happen? Would causality be violated? Would the result already designated by the Logic Weapon happen once again?” Xiao Yu silently considered this question, while at the same time controlling his warship groups to continue their fierce attack against this Level 7 Alien Beast.
The number of ultra-miniature warships created by Xiao Yu was still steadily rising. Up to this moment, this kind of ultra-miniature warship had already spread across the entire battlefield and was playing an important role in the current battle. When facing an Infinite Proliferation-Type Alien Beast, the ultra-miniature warships were showing unexpectedly high performance.
At this point, Xiao Yu had already made up his mind that after this use of the Logic Weapon by the Dark Star Civilization, he would no longer carry out the Executor Trap plan, but would instead gather his spirit and courage and confront it head-on.
Xiao Yu’s attack continued, and the intelligence network spread across the entire Feiyuan Galaxy also continued its tense work. After Xiao Yu detected those strange stellar and Central Black Hole fluctuations from before, Xiao Yu had closely tracked and observed them. But Xiao Yu had not interfered with them. Because Xiao Yu knew that even if his interference dispelled this change, in some other place within the Feiyuan Galaxy, other changes would emerge and lead to the same result. Rather than exerting effort later to search for those changes, it was better to start now by observing the ones that had already been identified.
These changes once again began a chain reaction like falling dominoes. At first, they were only extremely slight, extremely inconspicuous movements. After the chain reaction, they became bigger and bigger, more and more obvious. The expected spatial fluctuation finally occurred as scheduled, and the place where it occurred was exactly where Xiao Yu had predicted. Right before Xiao Yu’s eyes, that enormous Level 7 Alien Beast was entirely enveloped in this strange fluctuation, including the Alien Beast offspring around it and part of Xiao Yu’s warships.
Xiao Yu immediately began analyzing this strange fluctuation. But after analysis, Xiao Yu gained nothing at all. In Xiao Yu’s view, the present spatial fluctuation was only a normal fluctuation. It was not essentially different from the spatial shock caused when a Spatial Bomb exploded or a Spatial Cannon was fired. This spatial fluctuation caused no effect on Xiao Yu’s warships. Those Alien Beast offspring within the spatial shock likewise did not become ferocious as if they had swallowed some miraculous tonic, as Xiao Yu had earlier expected. They still maintained their previous combat power, without the slightest improvement.
“By what method will this spatial fluctuation prevent me from destroying this Level 7 Alien Beast?” A trace of doubt arose in Xiao Yu’s mind.
Although he did not understand it in his heart, Xiao Yu’s attack did not slow because of it. The Dream Star Cluster-Class battleship continued to display its peerless combat power. It continued to lead Xiao Yu’s warship formations in constantly killing countless Alien Beast offspring, continuously breaking open the ocean of Alien Beasts, fighting blood-soaked battles, and pushing forward.
Overall, everything looked normal, but Xiao Yu gradually sensed that something was wrong. Xiao Yu felt that in the course of his warship formations’ penetration, the resistance they encountered seemed to have grown a little greater. And the reason the resistance had increased was that the number of Alien Beast offspring he faced seemed to be growing larger and larger.
Xiao Yu’s heart gave a slight jolt.
Xiao Yu once again directed his observational power toward this enormous Level 7 Alien Beast, using highly precise instruments to observe it and starting to count the number of Alien Beast offspring produced by the Alien Beast mother body within the same period of time.
With this comparison, the abnormality was immediately discovered by Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu’s conclusion was that after this strange spatial shock had enveloped the Level 7 Alien Beast for a period of time and then vanished without a trace, the Level 7 Alien Beast seemed to have undergone a transformation. Its efficiency in producing Alien Beast offspring had increased by at least thirty percent. In other words, if before it could produce one million Alien Beast offspring in a day, now it could produce one million three hundred thousand in a day. The extra three hundred thousand Alien Beast offspring were exactly the reason Xiao Yu felt his pressure steadily increasing.
“What is the principle behind this? Why did this fellow’s ability increase so much after being transformed by that strange spatial fluctuation? What mechanism is this? While it was enveloped by this spatial fluctuation just now, what kind of changes took place inside it?” Xiao Yu thought over all this in shock, but no matter what, he could not find the answer.
The matter was already very clear. After the Dark Star Civilization issued the command to the Logic Weapon, the Logic Weapon had adopted this method to stop Xiao Yu from destroying this Level 7 Alien Beast. It had to be said, this method was indeed very effective. By this means, the Logic Weapon once again proved its power.
Xiao Yu’s warships were still bravely advancing, all kinds of spatial weapon attacks were still fierce, and more warships were still being continuously redeployed by Xiao Yu to participate in the battle here. But the advancing steps of Xiao Yu’s warship formations were completely blocked.
And being unable to advance meant being unable to ultimately kill this Level 7 Alien Beast.
“Could it be that this time I must once again abandon a victory already within my grasp? Could it be that the result designated by the Logic Weapon truly will occur unavoidably, and aside from using another Logic Weapon to oppose it, any other method is useless?” Xiao Yu thought unwillingly. “If this continues, when will I ever complete the mission? I only have less than one hundred and fifty years left!”
A mad idea was steadily fermenting in Xiao Yu’s mind. In this brief moment, Xiao Yu once again made up his mind.
“This time I must try it no matter what! Under no circumstances can I give up so easily again! So what if it is the Logic Weapon? I refuse to believe it can truly be this powerful! Extreme stellar body war star group! Move out!”
