Chapter 158: The Collision of Two Galactic Civilizations

In the dark star region of the Andromeda Galaxy, a dark spherical ‘celestial body’ quietly stayed. It appeared unique because, in this not-so-peaceful region, only it maintained a constant position.

This sphere was not large, with a diameter of only 1000 kilometers. From time to time, objects entered and exited it. From a distance, it looked like a hive staying in the star system.

That is right, this was Star Alliance’s Planet A for this expedition to the Andromeda Galaxy, a small War Fortress!

On Planet A, 100,000 members of the Watcher Civilization were stationed. Ten percent of them were warriors, and the rest, apart from necessary management personnel, were researchers.

The intelligent life forms in the Andromeda Galaxy were truly wonderful!

Perhaps the ordinary people were no different from those in the Galaxy, but among them, some abnormally power ful individuals could mutate.

Energy Controllers! This kind of intelligent creature that could freely manipulate energy, to some extent, surpassed the cognition of the Watcher Civilization.

It was hard to imagine that such powerful beings were born from those ordinary Carbon-based Lives, and there was no genetic mutation or evolution among them.

What changed was merely the Will, a highly generalized, abstract concept.

These Energy Controllers, relying solely on their physical bodies, could reach the same height as the Watcher Civilization in the control and use of energy. They even surpassed them in fineness.

At least, the current Watcher Civilization could not manufacture a full-dimension energy shield generator small enough to fit a human body.

The technology of the Star Alliance had reached a certain limit of the four-dimensional Material World. If the shield generator was shrunk any further, its internal structure would become uncontrollable, or even unobservable!

Its performance would also become uncertain. On the scale of the human body, any observation method of the Star Alliance could not observe without disturbing the system of the observed.

This was just like the uncertainty principle of Earth. In this situation, the result observed by the Watcher Civilization was only the result obtained after the interference of the observer. The state it was in before observation was unknown to the Watcher Civilization!

The Watcher Civilization could rely on experience to manufacture miniature shield generators, but the instability of this kind of generator was just like experience itself, very uncertain.

Perhaps it could be used safely for a hundred years, or perhaps in the next moment, it would malfunction or explode, simply uncontrollable.

It was not until the Watcher Civilization discovered the Energy Controllers of the Andromeda Galaxy that they saw the Hope of a breakthrough.

At least, from the observation results of the Mages ‘invited’ to Planet Alpha, it was known that the energy shields produced by Mages would also fail, but would not lead to catastrophic consequences.

Moreover, as the level of the Mage increased, the probability of this failure would decrease simultaneously. Until becoming an Immortal, the use of energy could basically be done as one wished.

The researchers on Planet A used every means to try to find out the generation and control mechanism of this energy shield. The Mages captured by them faced unknown fates every day.

But very regrettably, until now, the secret of the Energy Controllers had still not been found, and everything was still in the exploration stage.

There were two highest persons in charge on Planet A. One was a Yustarian named Yu Fengluo, and the other was a Digital Life named Histe.

The specific action plan of this expeditionary force was presided over and formulated by Yu Fengluo, while the specific implementation process was entirely handed over to Histe to operate.

At this moment, in the highest control room of Planet A, Yu Fengluo looked very uneasy. He stood in the empty control room, closed his eyes slightly, and talked softly with Histe.

“Something is going to happen, Histe. My heart is very uneasy.”

“Yu, what are you worried about? Perhaps I can help you analyze it.” Histe’s voice was very gentle; he was a considerate Digital Life.

Yu Fengluo frowned tightly, trying to sort out his thoughts. He said hesitantly: “Those Energy Controllers we use as research objects, I cannot see through them. Even when I am beside them, my mind feels a sense of oppression. This feeling is very strong. I worry that they have some method of communication we do not know, and can even contact their rescuers!”

Half a month ago, that incomparably powerful Energy Controller gave the Star Alliance some trouble. This powerful force that erupted almost instantly already had the ability to threaten Planet A. Who could guarantee that there was only one such strong person in the entire Star System!

After hearing this, Histe paused for a moment before responding: “Yu, the oppression is indeed real. Because through our comparative research, we found that the brainwaves of these Energy Controllers are far stronger than the Carbon-based Lives of the Galaxy. According to our research on mental communication, this shows that the Will of Energy Controllers is far stronger than ours. Your feeling of insecurity is normal, but currently, there is no sign that these Energy Controllers can use ultra-long-range mental communication skills.”

The look on Yu Fengluo’s face did not relax. He sighed: “Maybe my worry is unnecessary. But, Histe, I now grant you full autonomous authority at critical moments. If an accident happens to us Carbon-based Lives, you must take Planet A back to the Galaxy! Promise me, Histe.”

This was almost like making a will. Even Histe, a Digital Life, could see the lowness in Yu Fengluo’s will, and it even carried a dark emotion that could not be described by data.

A slight fluctuation appeared in Histe’s voice, and his tone carried disbelief: “Yu, what are you doing? You know that for some information not stored in my database, I have difficulty handling it well. I do not want to hurt your fragile bodies because of my mistakes.”

Yu Fengluo’s face was solemn, and he said in a low voice: “I know, Histe. I am very glad to work with you. But remember our mission this time. The first-hand research data on the Energy Controllers on Planet A is worth our sacrifice. Promise me, Histe.”

“I will, Yu, if you insist!” Inexplicably, Histe’s tone also became solemn and grave.

Just at this moment, in the dark space outside Planet A, spatial fluctuations began to appear. These were the Archmages of the Holy Council!

The teleportation of these Energy Controllers was completed very fast. Almost as soon as the Star Alliance detected the spatial fluctuations, they had already steadily stood in space.

This time, the Holy Council dispatched a full 5,000 Fifth-grade Archmages. Even the Highest Speaker Ptolemy and Veren, two Immortals, personally came to take charge.

Ptolemy looked at Planet A quietly floating in the Abyss, his eyes revealing a look of shock. With his insight, he could certainly tell that this huge sphere was not a natural product, but an artificial creation.

These Demons of the Abyss actually possessed such amazing methods to create such a colossal object.

At this moment, some rumors he had heard faintly flashed through Ptolemy’s mind. The content of the rumors was a taboo of the Holy Council, because it touched the most sensitive nerve of the Holy Council.

The theory of the Sacred Supremacy of the Main Plane seemed to be shaken with the arrival of these Abyss Demons.

“No, such a thing must never be allowed to happen. The Main Plane is the only treasure bestowed by Main God Phobos. All others are heretics!” Ptolemy stubbornly rejected any facts that had occurred.

At this moment, he wore the Origin Law on his head. The existence of this Divine Artifact gave him power far surpassing other Immortals.

Inside the Origin Law, the Law vortex in that huge Crystal Diamond rotated eternally. Ptolemy placed his Will upon it, and immediately, his field of vision became incomparably wide. The Dimension Ring existing in his Sea of Will also immediately changed from its previous blurry state to an incredibly perfect and clear existence.

The energy Ptolemy could control immediately began to surge. Its intensity was more than three times that of Veren!

Veren also immediately felt the change of the Highest Speaker beside him. He secretly ground his teeth, but at this time, he had to maintain a respectful attitude.

The Highest Speaker at this moment already possessed the power to erase him. Veren comforted himself in his heart that his respect was not for Ptolemy, but for the “Origin Law” he wore!

Ptolemy enjoyed the awed gaze from the side and shouted in the air barrier formed by the combined efforts of all Mages: “Now, let us purify these Abyss Demons!”

With his words, all the Mages began to arrange themselves in an incredibly complex and precise sequence.

Of the 5,000 Mages, 2,000 began to construct a powerful full-dimension energy defense shield on the outer layer. The other 3,000 began the Aggregation of energy in the inner layer, preparing an incomparably terrifying attack.

In this non-instant cast situation, the energy a single Fifth-grade Mage could control had already surpassed 100,000 Energy Levels!

Everyone in the formation sequence shared the oppression brought by high-intensity energy to the Will and further compressed and aggregated this world-destroying energy in an orderly manner.

Of course, the Star Alliance could not let this group of Energy Controllers attack. Over a thousand warships poured out from Planet A at the first moment. Like a swarm of bees protecting their nest, they pounced on this group of Archmages.

Energy rained down continuously towards the Mages, but it was all resisted by the energy shield formed by the Mages on the outer layer.

At this time, the Fortress Main Gun of Planet A also began its charging warm-up. The dark energy light at the muzzle flashed with the light of chaos and destruction like a storm.

The intensity of this energy attack was actually on par with the attack intensity constructed by 3,000 Fifth-grade Archmages!

Ptolemy and Veren watched in secret shock. At this moment, these two Immortals could not watch the battle leisurely. If this continued, it would inevitably result in a lose-lose situation.

“Veren! Curse!” Ptolemy ordered directly.

Although Ptolemy’s tone made Veren very unhappy, at such a critical moment, he did not hesitate at all. He immediately began to concentrate, preparing to release a super-large-scale super Curse targeting the opponent’s personnel!

Neither side in the fierce battle noticed that in a corner not far away, space quietly distorted, and two figures slowly appeared. They were actually Lin Lei, who had become an Immortal, and the Sixth-grade Archmage Merlin.

How could Lin Lei miss such a lively occasion?
