Can they deal with this monster that transcends existing theories?
"Fuck me..."
Liu Chuang spat angrily on the ground, grabbed his God-Slaying Axe, and shouted, "Who cares what it is! We can't just stand by and watch it tear down North Star!"
"Chuangzi, don't be impulsive!"
Ge Xiaolun grabbed him.
His mind was in complete chaos. He could sense that the energy emanating from the monster was entirely different from the "Galactic Force" within him. It was a... reversed, chaotic, and destructive power. He even had a hunch that if he attacked it with his usual methods, it might be like pouring water into hot oil, causing an even more violent explosion.
"What are we going to do? Just watch?" Liu Chuang roared.
"Xiao Lun, please take another look at Teacher Zhou Ye's question," came Qiangwei's calm voice.
"What he asked was, how can civilization save itself?"
Ge Xiaolun was startled and looked up at the sky for the second time.
When the development of a civilization inevitably accelerates the accumulation of "Honkai energy," ultimately leading to "Honkai" capable of destroying itself, how can this civilization save itself?
Self-rescue...
Zhou Ye wasn't asking them how to "kill" the monster.
He was asking how to "solve" this "collapse" phenomenon caused by the development of civilization itself.
Killing this Honkai Beast is only a temporary solution. If a fundamental solution cannot be found, then second and third Honkai Beasts will keep appearing.
"They are reciprocals of each other..."
Unconsciously, Ge Xiaolun uttered a key piece of information from the question.
"The imaginary internal energy belonging to the collapsed dimension and the real internal energy, which is the thermal representation of four-dimensional spacetime as the divergent dimension, are reciprocals of each other..."
"What countdown?"
Liu Chuang looked completely bewildered.
"It means...they're two sides of the same coin!"
Ge Xiaolun's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and a crazy idea formed in his mind.
"Honkai energy is composed of inverse entropy and imaginary internal energy; it is ordered energy. Our universe's energy, however, is positive entropy, and it is chaotic. They are opposites! Therefore, to counteract it, we cannot use our conventional energy to confront it head-on; that would only trigger annihilation and an explosion. Instead, we must use... a reverse logic to deal with it!"
"Speak like a human!" Liu Chuang was so anxious he was jumping up and down.
"I...I don't know what to say!" Ge Xiaolun clutched his head, feeling like his brain was about to overload.
"I just have a feeling... my Galactic Force, its core is not attack, not defense, but... definition and rewriting! It can define reality and rewrite the laws of physics!"
“Previously, I was only using it within the framework taught by General Dukao to fight against the void and dark energy. But if Professor Zhou Ye’s theory is correct, then the void and dark energy are just different manifestations of Honkai energy! What I need to deal with is its root!”
"How to deal with it?"
Rose pressed for an answer.
"I have no idea!"
Ge Xiaolun stood up and paced back and forth anxiously.
"I need calculations! Massive calculations! My brain's computing power isn't enough! I need a... supercomputer to help me!"
"Tiandao Tower!"
Lena suddenly spoke, her eyes flashing with determination.
"No, the Heavenly Dao Tower has been destroyed... However, my divine body can serve as a temporary server! My Solar Light Gene is essentially the calculation and driving of stellar-level energy! I can simulate a miniature star and use its energy tides to perform ultra-high-intensity calculations!"
"What do you want to do?!"
Qi Lin exclaimed in surprise,
"That would exhaust your divine power!"
"It's better than everyone going to die together!"
Lena gritted her teeth, "Ge Xiaolun, I'll lend you my divine body as the CPU and you be the programmer! You can rewrite it however you want, and I'll provide the energy and computing power!"
"Will this... will this work?" Ge Xiaolun hesitated.
"Whether it works or not, we have to try!" Liu Chuang slung the God-Slaying Axe over his shoulder, revealing a fearless smile. "You two are responsible for fixing the software issues of that big guy, while I, Xinye, and the others will deal with its hardware! Even if we can't kill it, we have to buy you some time!"
"Count me in!" Zhao Xin gripped his spear tightly.
“Me too!” Qi Lin raised her sniper rifle.
"We're all here."
Qiangwei looked at Ge Xiaolun with an unprecedentedly firm gaze.
At this moment, this team, which had just been on the verge of collapse, faced an unprecedented and terrifying crisis, yet it unleashed an astonishing cohesion.
They no longer depend on anyone, and no longer follow any instructions.
They made their own choices based on their own thinking and judgment.
"it is good!"
Ge Xiaolun nodded heavily. He looked at Lena, then at all his comrades, "Then... let's do this job!"
Inside the seaside villa, Sha's hands were sweating with nervousness.
"Sir, can they...can they succeed? Lena using her divine body as a CPU to rewrite the laws of physics...that sounds insane."
"Furthermore, Lena didn't prevent the destruction of Sunstar by pledging allegiance to you; she..."
Zhou Ye didn't speak; he just stared at the screen quietly.
On the screen, Lena was enveloped in a dazzling, sun-like light. She hovered in mid-air, and a massive energy of 4.9 gathered behind her, forming a complex computational matrix of light and heat that was visible to the naked eye.
Ge Xiaolun closed his eyes, and his consciousness, through some mysterious link, connected with Reina's divine body. He felt as if he had transformed into the universe itself, with countless physical formulas and countless lines of law flowing before his eyes. He saw the "source code" of that Honkai Beast, a fundamental logic composed of chaos and disorder, incompatible with the real universe.
Below them, Liu Chuang, Zhao Xin, Qiangwei, and others had already transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards the North Star. They were like a group of knights challenging windmills, small yet resolute.
"Sir?" Feng Shayan couldn't help but ask again when she saw that Zhou Ye remained silent for a long time.
Zhou Ye then slowly spoke, his voice carrying a subtle, almost gratified smile.
Whether it succeeds or not is no longer important.
"The important thing is that they have already begun to write their own answers."
"An answer sheet that does not belong to Deno, nor to Lieyang, nor to me... but only to them, the Earthlings."
He picked up his Coke, raised it gently to the screen, as if addressing those young people fighting a bloody battle.
"Respect for mortals."
Chapter 437 The Counterattack of the Super Soldier Company
The sky above the North Star has been torn open with an ugly scar.
The Honkai Beast has fully descended. With each step its limbs, made of bones and obsidian, takes, the earth groans with a sickening groan. The surrounding buildings are not merely being physically trampled, but are being "erroneously" on a more fundamental level, with concrete twisting and peeling away like melted wax.
"Get your act together, all of you!"
Liu Chuang's roar traveled through the communication channel to the ears of every soldier in the Super Soldier Company.
"Those two intellectuals were doing technical work in the back, while we roughnecks were responsible for holding down this thing that looked like it had been pixelated!"
He was the first to charge forward, his massive black figure drawing a straight line in the distorted light and shadow. Dark energy surged on the God-Slaying Axe, its blade slicing through the air with a piercing shriek as it viciously struck one of the Honkai Beast's limbs.
"clang--!"
The anticipated scene of carnage did not materialize. The instant the axe blade collided with the armor, an ear-piercing metallic scraping sound erupted, amplified a thousandfold, more like fingernails scraping a blackboard. Sparks flew, but they were not red or yellow; instead, they were eerie, like purple arcs of electricity revealed after space itself had been torn apart.
Liu Chuang felt an overwhelming force surge from the axe handle. This force was irrational, unlike any force he could comprehend; it was chaotic and disordered, acting directly on his body. He groaned, thrown backward, and plowed a deep furrow in the ground. 08
"Brother Chuang!"
Zhao Xin cried out in alarm, his figure transforming into a silver lightning bolt, instantly appearing on the other side of the Honkai Beast. His spear danced like a dragon, its tip gleaming with a cold light, as he thrust repeatedly at the monster's body at supersonic speed.
Each piercing sent up a cloud of purple energy shards. However, Zhao Xin's expression grew increasingly grim. His spear had indeed pierced the monster's body, but it didn't feel like piercing flesh; it felt more like piercing a viscous, insubstantial mass of energy. The moment the spear tip was pulled out, the pierced area immediately wriggled and returned to its original state, as if it had never been injured at all.
"Damn it! This thing has no physical form!"
Zhao Xin growled in the channel.
"It's a ball of moving energy!"
"It's not just about energy!"
Rose's calm voice rang out. She had already teleported several specially made explosives into the Honkai Beast's body through a micro-wormhole.
"Detonate!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A muffled explosion came from inside the monster's body. Its body suddenly expanded, and countless streams of purplish-black energy gushed out from the cracks on its surface. However, just a few seconds later, the gushing energy surged back, and the expanded body quickly contracted, returning to its original size without even pausing for a second.
"Internal blasting was ineffective."
Rose appeared on the rooftop of a building, her face somewhat pale.
"Its structure is too stable, or rather, its instability is itself a form of stability. Conventional energy release will only be absorbed by it."
This monster completely overturned their understanding of combat. It did not follow the law of conservation of energy, nor the laws of physical damage. It was like a computer virus; trying to smash it with a real-world hammer was utterly useless.
"Sniper team, take note! Attack its energy rift! That's the node where its energy flows!" Qi Lin's voice rang out in the channel. She was lying on top of a tall tower several kilometers away, using a specially made scope to lock onto a purple rift on the monster's body that was opening and closing.
Specially designed bullets whistled out.
However, just as the bullet was about to hit its target, the space around the Honkai Beast rippled like water. The bullet's speed suddenly decreased, as if it had sunk into a quagmire, and finally vanished silently a few meters away from its target.
"It's modifying physical constants!"
Lianfeng, looking at the transmitted data in the command center, spoke with a hint of despair in her voice.
"Qilin's bullets, upon entering the force field around them, had their very existence erased!"
The battlefield has reached a stalemate.
The soldiers of the Super Soldier Company were like a group of primitive people wielding cold weapons, trying to attack a "concept." All their attacks seemed so futile and ridiculous.
"Roar--!"
The Honkai Beast seemed to have grown impatient with the swarm of flies. It stopped, and all the cracks on its body opened simultaneously, emitting a blinding purple light. An invisible wave suddenly spread out from it.
