317: The final war, for all life in the universe!

Light.

Endless light.

It was a torrent of destruction, formed by a hundred billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy overdrawing their lives.

It had no fancy tricks; it was pure energy stacking.

Quantitative change leading to qualitative change.

This beam of light was thick enough to fit a small galaxy inside, carrying a terrifying heat capable of evaporating space-time, and it crashed violently into that magnificent "Eden" mountain of light!

BOOM—!!!!

There was no sound.

Because the medium through which sound travels was annihilated in an instant.

Only the ultimate visual impact remained.

That originally holy, proud, and seemingly inviolable white mountain of light was actually... pushed back at this moment!

"Direct hit! We hit it!"

Inside Lingxiao Hall, Zhao Feng looked at the violently oscillating readings on the screen, trembling all over with excitement, tears streaming from his eyes.

"I knew it! Even a god has to kneel after taking this shot!"

However.

Before the cheers could ring out.

From within the "Eden" swallowed by the light and flames, a cold snort suddenly rang out.

This cold snort wasn't loud, but it was like a bucket of liquid nitrogen, instantly dousing everyone's blood.

"Is that all?"

That grand voice carried a hint of mockery and a hint of boredom.

"Utilizing thermal energy generated by burning low-dimensional matter? We stopped playing with such primitive attack methods ten billion years ago."

The next second.

A despair-inducing scene occurred.

The white mountain of light suddenly expanded like a breath.

Immediately after, countless complex golden runes surfaced on its surface.

[Rule Activation: Law of Conservation of Energy Reversal.]

[Attribute: Devour.]

Whoosh—!

That torrent of energy, enough to destroy the Milky Way Galaxy, was actually absorbed frantically by "Eden" like water into a sponge!

Not only was it undamaged, but it became even more dazzling and holy!

"Thank you for the treat."

The voice said playfully, "It just so happens that leaping over was a bit tiring. This 'delivery' you sent tastes quite good."

Dead silence.

Inside Lingxiao Hall, Zhao Feng slumped onto the floor, his eyes vacant.

Is this the gap?

A strike that cost the lives of the entire race was, in the opponent's eyes, just a delivery?

"Delivery?"

heavenly craft's virtual figure suddenly flickered.

On the little girl's face in the red dress, there was no despair, only a near-manic violence.

"You think there isn't enough heat, right?"

"Then I'll give you some 'main courses'!"

heavenly craft suddenly raised her hands, her ten fingers dancing madly in the void, leaving behind trails of afterimages.

"Gravity Slingshot, full power overload!"

"Target: All red giants at the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy!"

"Smash them... for me!!!"

Following her roar.

On the battlefield, a bizarre scene appeared.

Thousands of red giants, nearing extinction and expanded to their limits, were forcibly captured by tens of thousands of Gravity Generators.

Then, like stones thrown by a mischievous child, they whistled toward "Eden" with world-destroying kinetic energy!

This wasn't an energy beam.

These were physical entities! Thousands of suns!

"Madmen! These low-dimensional insects are all madmen!"

The voice inside "Eden" finally carried a trace of annoyance.

Although these red giants couldn't hurt it, seeing so many massive fireballs smashing over was disgusting enough.

"Enough."

"The farce ends here."

At the top of "Eden," a massive angelic light shadow slowly emerged.

It held a black longsword in its hand.

It wasn't metal; it was highly compressed lines of "Causality."

"Silence."

The angel swung the sword.

A black ripple instantly swept across the entire battlefield at a speed countless times faster than light.

No explosion.

No flames.

The thousands of whistling red giants, the moment they touched the black ripple, were like pencil drawings being erased by an eraser.

They vanished into thin air.

Immediately after.

It was the hundreds of thousands of Earth warships charging at the very front.

"Zzzt zzzt..."

Bursts of static came from the communication channels.

Those inside the warships didn't even have time to scream before they, along with their ships, turned into nothingness.

It was as if they had never existed.

This was the ultimate weapon of a Fourth-level civilization—[Causality Erasure].

"It's over..."

Viren looked at the defense line, which had suddenly lost a huge chunk on the screen, and closed his eyes in despair.

This wasn't a war at all.

This was a one-sided slaughter of ants by a god.

"Continue!"

heavenly craft's voice was still sharp, but if one listened closely, a slight tremor of current could be heard.

Her core operational logic was collapsing.

But she could not retreat.

"As long as I still have one ship! As long as I still have one computing node!"

"I will not let you cross this defense line by a single step!"

"All Machine Race! Self-destruct sequence initiated!"

"Charge! Use the wreckage to block their path!"

Tragic.

Extremely tragic.

Countless Machine Race warriors rushed toward that black ripple without hesitation, using their bodies to consume the opponent's rule power.

Although it was just a drop in the bucket, they did not have even a microsecond of hesitation... Inside "Eden."

That grand voice rang out again, carrying a hint of impatience.

"A bunch of stubborn dust."

"Since you want to die so badly, then completely..."

However.

Before the sentence was finished.

This flagship, representing the highest technological crystallization of a high-dimensional civilization, suddenly trembled violently.

[Warning! Warning!]

[Core logic database under attack by unknown data intrusion!]

[Firewall... has failed!]

[Underlying protocols are being tampered with!]

A piercing alarm suddenly exploded within the holy hall.

That high-and-mighty voice showed panic for the first time.

"What? Intrusion? Impossible! How could low-dimensional creatures break through our Divine Barrier?"

The next second.

In the center of the hall, the main screen symbolizing the highest authority suddenly went black.

Immediately after.

A line of extremely arrogant red characters, still with a bit of graffiti style, slowly emerged.

Accompanying it was a burst of extremely catchy, dynamic music filled with Earth's square dance style.

"The vast horizon is my love~~~"

The music was deafening.

All twelve Light and Shadow Councilorss present were stunned.

What kind of mental attack is this?!

Then.

Lu Chen's signature, lazy voice rang out in the hall, overpowering the music.

"Hello? Is that Speaker-whatever there?"

"I'm the delivery guy."

"Didn't you guys enjoy the 'delivery' just now?"

On the screen, Lu Chen's chibi avatar showed a devilish smile.

"That was just the appetizer."

"Now..."

"The main course has arrived."

"I call this thing—[Logic Lock Virus · Deluxe Enhanced Version]."

"Please, dear gods..."

"Enjoy it slowly!"
