Chapter 85

They suddenly remembered, shouldn't they have died long ago?

When this thought sprouted, the unbearable pain, the suffocating torment, the despair of being frozen...

surged like a tide, making their expressions twist.

Robert looked at the three brothers who had returned from the dead and glanced at Sampo, who was still pretending to be unconscious:

"Alright, according to the Foundation's regulations."

"Any victim who is resurrected must immediately undergo A-class amnesia treatment after the resurrection is complete."

"As for this blue-haired gentleman on the side, let's ignore him for now."

As the words fell, the soldiers who had been prepared long ago, each holding a spray can, sprayed the three brothers wildly.

Afterward, they pressed them back into the coffins and very thoughtfully covered them with a transparent lid to prevent gas from escaping.

The three of them were still struggling at first, but before long, there was no movement.

And not far away, a huge metal box was also slowly hoisted and rose into the air.

In mid-air, there was an area where light was unnaturally distorted.

It was clearly an invisible starship.

As the metal box slowly merged into the starship's body, a voice also rang in Bai Bai Xuan's mind.

[SCP-009 recovery successful!]

[System reward issued!]

Please subscribe!

[Ding! You have obtained Interstellar Battleship Fleet *1, B-class Researcher *10, D-class Personnel *100.]

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the skill "Reverse Entropy." When you activate this skill, you can reduce the overall entropy of the system.]

[It is generally believed that life feeds on negative entropy, discharges positive entropy, and eventually moves toward demise. But, undoubtedly, this rule, which is regarded as truth by almost everyone, does not apply to you. Entropy increase and entropy decrease are, for you, just matters that can be decided with a single thought.]

[If considered from the perspective of "space-time," you can achieve an effect similar to time reversal, but this is not true time reversal.]

[Congratulations, you are about to become a Level 2 Reality Bender.]

[Note: A certain crew member in the "Astral Express" is the leader of "Anti-Entropy," but you must have already known this; this is just a reminder.]

[Now, you can prepare to deploy the next SCP.]

[Of course, you can also popularize other aspects of the Foundation to the world, including but not limited to Foundation trivia, the deeds of the Four Doctors of the Apocalypse, etc. I believe they will be very interested.]

The system prompt sounded, and giant ships appeared in the berths of the Foundation base.

And personnel of all levels automatically appeared at their respective posts and began to work.

"Reverse Entropy?"

After Bai Bai Xuan understood the content of the system, he was slightly stunned, then slowly sat up from the bed and leaned against the headboard.

And this made March 7th, who had already fallen fast asleep, "hum" twice and turn over.

Bai Bai Xuan helped her pull up the quilt to prevent her from catching a cold, and then continued to examine his abilities.

The new ability obtained this time, in short, was the ability to control the change of "entropy" at will...

This couldn't be described by the word "heaven-defying."

Entropy, according to people's saying, is a very common thermodynamic term and also a frequent visitor in science fiction literature.

It often appears together with a cosmological ultimate question:

Will the universe have an end? If so, in what way will the universe move toward its end?

If I were to introduce a few more sentences, in thermodynamics, the principle of entropy increase points out that the entropy of an isolated system will not decrease but will increase over time until it reaches a maximum value—"Heat Death."

Interestingly, people often feel despair about the future of the entire universe when they first come into contact with these concepts, and then despair about their own lives, eventually moving toward complete nihilism.

I wonder if the Aeon of "Nihility," "IX," also ascended to the god of the "Nihility" path because of this?

Now, Bai Bai Xuan clasped his hands behind his head, acting as a pillow, his gaze crossing hundreds of millions of light-years, staring at a star about to die.

And at a distance of several light-minutes from this star, a priest of a primitive civilization was looking at the increasingly unstable "Ah" (the civilization's name for the sun) in the sky with great worry.

The reason for calling Him "Ah" was because this was the simplest note they could make.

They believed that "Ah" was the beginning of all syllables, the namer of all things, the father of the world, the mother of all things, the master of fire, and the god of punishment.

But at this moment, "Ah" was becoming increasingly angry for some reason.

"Ah" was becoming larger and brighter, ruthlessly displaying His authority.

Making the sky crimson, the air dry, the rivers dry up, the plants wither, fires frequent, livestock die of thirst...

Did He want to destroy the creations of this world?

Did He want to destroy His children?

But what exactly did they do wrong?

"Great Prophet, we have already offered sacrifices, but why is 'Ah' still angry?"

The tribal chief bowed to the priest and asked.

The priest, although the most knowledgeable and wisest individual in the entire tribe.

Was ignorant and clueless at this moment.

He was interpreting the changes in celestial phenomena, the shapes of flowing clouds, the pain in his own bones today, the shapes of the sacrifices on the altar... in order to obtain divine revelation.

"'Ah' is getting better, 'Ah' is letting us wait... 'Ah' is letting us continue to offer sacrifices."

At such a time, the only way this priest knew was to offer sacrifices to "Ah" and dance for Him himself.

The priest shook his four arms, held up two flags, and performed a strange dance for "Ah," just as he had done before.

And just as his father, his grandfather, his great-grandfather... had always done.

The six eyes on his face looked at "Ah" devoutly, hoping that his clumsy performance could appease His anger.

Just then, the sky suddenly darkened, and in a trance, the priest seemed to see countless rays of light flowing backward.

In this miraculous scene, "Ah's" body size was also shrinking rapidly.

From a terrifying appearance that almost occupied the entire sky and overshadowed everything, it shrank to a distant point of light, seemingly not even as big as his fist.

The surrounding heat dissipated suddenly, the forest fires disappeared, and the whole world became a bit cold instantly.

But no matter what the future held, at least they weren't burned to death.

"'Ah'! 'Ah'! 'Ah'!"

The priest's three mouths shouted at the same time, making hoarse sounds.

His scales changed color because of excitement, flowing with iridescent luster.

His clansmen also joined this carnival, praising "Ah."

And on the distant "Astral Express."

The culprit, Bai Bai Xuan, glanced at those primitive species, his mouth twitched, and he immediately withdrew his gaze.

Not to mention they looked strange, their dancing was even more eye-stinging.

The dance moves were bad!

He had just used "Entropy Decrease" on that star, gathering light and heat in interstellar space, combined with the ability to manipulate the flow of time.

Making that star evolve in reverse for tens of billions of years in an instant, returning from the end of its life to its youth.

Bai Bai Xuan experienced a feeling he had never had before in an instant, because before him, no one had ever experienced it.

He seemed to be truly standing above the river of time, overlooking the phenomena of the universe.

If in the classic view of time, a person is placed in a syringe, with one end being birth and the other being death.

This life is being pushed toward death by a piston.

Then, Bai Bai Xuan became the existence that could pull the piston at will, and could even pull the piston out and let the person in the syringe out.

He smiled, pinched his monocle, and self-deprecatingly said:

"Well, I accidentally became... the pointer that manipulates time."

While smiling, his gaze fell on March 7th, who was still fast asleep beside him.

Her cheeks had a flush, and she smiled from time to time, silly, cute, and innocent.

Looking at her sleeping face, an idea also gradually took shape in Bai Bai Xuan's heart.

Next...

Let the Foundation's image become more three-dimensional, and have a contrast.
