Chapter 524: Heat Death Envoy

~7 min read 1,225 words

No one knows what that thing actually is; there is more than one of them, and no one knows how strong these things actually are.

Their means of attack are not explosive thermal impact, not laser energy attack, not a physical attack in the usual sense, but rather, from the fundamental level, they completely decompose something.

It is still unclear whether they have any other abilities, but based on their current abilities, you may tentatively call them Heat Death Envoys.

Although there are many of them, there is no doubt that this is truly the strongest one, and these Heat Death Envoys were all born from black holes occupied by heavenly disasters.

You devised a plan and, after great effort, piled up and killed a Heat Death Envoy, trying to analyze its structure, but unfortunately, they have no physical form at all.

You must research a way to counter them; now these guys have begun frantically invading the star regions of the Star Sea Commonwealth, and the price of their attack is that all planetary life is turned into uniformly spread matter.

You can feel that, if the universe had a history book, this would be the final chapter.

Perhaps if you endure, it will be as brilliant as the stage where civilization advances into the stars; if you cannot endure, then... it can only end.

You think this way, but deep down you still refuse to give up.

You are a genius; as a genius, you refuse to admit that there is anything in this world that could stump you.

Age 39: the original spiritual-energy Star Alliance zone was completely obliterated, turned into countless uniform substances; you developed a large matter shield capable of resisting material decomposition.

The situation improved slightly, but Xiao Jiu doesn't know what modification Yuan gave her; she changed from a Ship Girl into a Mecha Girl wearing exotic armor.

That is the kind with mecha on its body and a cannon barrel mounted behind it; in short, it really suits your taste.

Her combat power has received an astonishing boost; it must be said that the weapons Yuan has devised over the years are no joke, which also means she has little desire for power, otherwise....

In short, the most outrageous thing is that Xiao Jiu obtained the maximum combat power, and yet she is still a Creator!

It must be said that, regarding weapons, Jiang is still the old hand; compared to your focus on defensive research, Yuan directly gave a new approach.

She can let Xiao Jiu, at super‑light speed, instantly create‑kill the opponent!

Although it is an iron law that any massive object cannot exceed light speed, Yuan used some clever tricks, namely a different kind of curvature.

Xiao Jiu's huge beast‑like body can slam into the opponent like a bullet, shattering them to pieces; well, this most plain and unadorned attack method can also be seen as returning to simplicity.

But the clever tricks Yuan added to Xiao Jiu are not limited to this; the weapons are so numerous that you can only sigh in admiration, yet relying solely on Xiao Jiu, can it work?

At this moment, the Computer Head sent you a message.

The final stage has arrived; please confirm the list information once more.

Are you sure you choose these people to survive?

The other side sent a list, but Zhang Jie didn't even need to look before choosing to confirm.

You are a very strange human; clearly you could live on into the next era, yet you still choose death.

What are you doing this for?

Zhang Jie began to think, right, what for?

He could actually go together with them.

If possible, I would like to bring along all the Ship Life of my entire space station.

But I cannot do that.

The Computer Head replied mercilessly, saying he can at most bring only a few things, plus the civilization's fire seed; even with so many Ship Life, a hundred of them he still cannot bring.

Yeah, I can't just leave them unattended; a bunch of little junk‑picking toys are all things I have picked out one by one.

Let me leave them to wait for death; impossible.

I will reserve a spot for you; this is my respect as a beneficiary of civilization toward you.

Hmph, you have a conscience.

For the survival of civilization, he devotes himself completely; this is what Zhang Jie is doing, although essentially it is his pride propping up his dignity.

But at the same time, as a scavenger, he cannot leave these Ship Life unattended, so...

However, there is still one more important reason: Zhang Jie is not accustomed to putting all his chips on others; he himself is actively seeking ways to preserve humanity's fire seed.

If the Computer Head is completely unreliable and his idea is wrong, then nobody can make it out.

Therefore, even if it is for himself, exhausting all strength to resist is now the best choice; Zhang Jie has never placed all his hopes on him.

With Xiao Jiu's super‑light‑speed impact, your difficulty in wiping out the Heat Death Envoys has clearly dropped a lot, but even though it's lower, it's still high....

The Heat Death Envoys have not formed an organization; they merely fight alone, and their forms are not uniform, so they cannot even be called the same species.

Among the five great heavenly disasters, only the Blood Disaster remains unsolved by you; in a sense it could be considered your fated arch‑enemy, but now is not the time to deal with it.

Now, for each Envoy you kill, you must expend thousands or even tens of thousands of Ship Life; and after they scatter matter and stars into matter, even that matter cannot be used at all.

Not only the star regions of the Star Sea Commonwealth, but even the heavenly disasters themselves have not been spared; the Star Sea still shines as brightly as before, but the light of those stars comes from thousands, millions, or hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Now they no longer emit light; they only leave behind an echo of the past that extends onward.

The Heat Death Envoys frenziedly cleanse the ground, like cosmic janitors, resetting everything to zero and starting anew.

Every time you face them, all you can feel is despair, an endless despair; they just wave a hand, and the warships forged from countless materials are dismantled, the massive structures painstakingly built over ages are reduced to ash.

A deeper despair is the hopelessness of never seeing an end; resistance seems meaningless, at least as things stand now.

But do you really have no way out? It's laughable; from the very start you have been clutching your biggest trump card without using it, and from the very start you have created something utterly terrifying.

A cosmic‑level nuclear deterrent lets you, up to now, still act with impunity; civilization's potential is endless, and the more you pressure them, the more terrifying things will be born....

In a sense, civilization and the constantly chaotic heavenly disasters are exactly alike; during this period, countless talented individuals have emerged within the Star Sea Commonwealth, resembling the entropy disaster born of clever chaos.

Human civilization's resistance continues, but it is obvious that the heavenly disasters can wait no longer.
