CHAPTER 526: CHAPTER 525 STRATEGY

"Entropy Civilization, you lunatics, don’t think you can achieve victory just by spouting rhetoric. Due to the crisis of the expanding wave reversal, you have long been the public enemy of the Universe, and the more you struggle, the faster you will die!"

Upon receiving the unrestrained taunting messages from Entropy Civilization, the Krypton Gold Civilization was very displeased.

Entropy Civilization casually remarked, "If we truly wanted to live longer, we wouldn’t have used the expanding wave reversal. Since we’ve chosen to use it, naturally we’re prepared for the consequences. Of course, we might be overwhelmed and destroyed by many Level 5 civilizations, but as long as we can bring about the destruction and rebirth of the Universe, our mission will be accomplished. Besides, under the inevitable outcome of the Universe’s contraction and destruction, you won’t live much longer either. We’ll be waiting for you in the netherworld!"

"Such lunatics, how did your Entropy Civilization become like this?" Antimatter Civilization was very curious about that part of history.

When it came to that part of history, Entropy Civilization didn’t avoid the topic, because the Universe had already reached the end of life, and there was nothing worth hiding anymore, so they briefly told Antimatter Civilization and Krypton Gold Civilization all about it.

After listening to the narrative of Entropy Civilization.

Antimatter Civilization and Krypton Gold Civilization finally understood the two key factors that led to the transformation of Entropy Civilization.

The first was betrayal; there was a time when Entropy Civilization was also a fervent civilization, dreaming of protecting the Universe, much like how a passionate young scientist dedicates themselves to science. Back then, Entropy Civilization formed an alliance with the like-minded Degenerate Civilization, vowing together to maintain the order of the Universe. However, Entropy Civilization was later cruelly betrayed by the Degenerate Civilization. The specifics of the betrayal were not detailed by Entropy Civilization, but Antimatter Civilization and Krypton Gold Civilization knew that ever since the betrayal by the Degenerate Civilization, Entropy Civilization changed their approach, started acting alone, and created the Entropy Beast as a weapon to eliminate entropy reduction civilizations in the Universe.

The second factor causing Entropy Civilization’s change was despair in science; they had come to recognize the essence of science and its ultimate futility. Thus, after countless futile attempts through the eons, Entropy Civilization gave up the idea of escaping the Universe and instead chose to develop the expanding wave reversal as a weapon to hasten the destruction of the Universe.

...

"Alright, you have learned what you wanted to know. The expanding wave reversal is approaching day by day, and you can now show your capabilities!" After finishing their story, Entropy Civilization sent out another taunting message.

Krypton Gold Civilization responded, "Why take delight in a disaster? As you said, the expanding wave reversal is indeed irreversible since it involves the contraction of the entire Universe and there’s simply not enough energy to counter it. If we had an equivalent level of energy, perhaps we could think of other methods, but as beings within this Universe, it’s impossible for us to find energy on the same scale as the Universe itself!"

Although Antimatter Civilization didn’t speak up, their research conclusions were very similar to those of the Krypton Gold Civilization.

Entropy Civilization said with regret, "Although we’re mentally prepared for this, we Entropy Civilization actually still hope that you could create a miracle. It’s a pity that you’ve greatly disappointed us, doomed to perish with the Universe!"

"Bastards, a perfectly fine Universe ruined by you lot. Do you know how many civilizations’ rights to develop and survive you have deprived? Yet you’re still here taking pleasure in misfortune, seeking your own death! Today, we Antimatter Civilization will wipe you out on behalf of all civilizations in the Universe. No matter if you have any last hidden tricks up your sleeve, we will make sure you perish before the destruction of the Universe!"

After ultimately losing all hope, Antimatter Civilization vented all their rage upon Entropy Civilization.

"Krypton Gold Civilization, although we are not allies, you surely also wish to swiftly eradicate such an enemy as Entropy Civilization, right? Why don’t we join forces?"

To ensure the annihilation of Entropy Civilization, Antimatter Civilization reached out to Krypton Gold Civilization. After all, Entropy Civilization was a Level 5 civilization, and without absolute dominance in combat, it would be highly improbable for them to completely eliminate Entropy Civilization.

Krypton Gold Civilization replied, "For such a civilization, we naturally loathe it to our cores. Today, Entropy Civilization must be eradicated!"

Having said that, the armies of Krypton Gold Civilization and Antimatter Civilization surrounded Entropy Civilization and launched a flurry of Information Weapons. The starry sky was in tumult and space distorted, and under the impending threat of the expanding wave reversal, the scene was particularly tragic, as if prefiguring the final outcome of the battle.

"Ha-ha, thinking of eradicating us? You’re far from capable. Just slowly experience the despair we’ve been through. We Entropy Civilization have a very important matter to attend to, so we’ll be taking our leave!"

Facing the attack of Antimatter Civilization and Krypton Gold Civilization, Entropy Civilization didn’t panic; they had foreseen this situation before setting out and had prepared countermeasures in secret. When they first deactivated the Entropy Wall, they actually had a contingency plan—they transferred the equipment used for the original Entropy Wall to the outskirts of the space where the three civilizations were located, forming an Entropy Wall Ball enclosing the three civilizations.

Now, in the face of the fierce assault from the other two civilizations, Entropy Civilization activated the Jump Engine they had prepared in advance, directly fleeing the scene, and concurrently initiated the surrounding Entropy Wall mechanisms, trapping both Antimatter Civilization and Krypton Gold Civilization within the Entropy Wall Ball. The first reason was to allow themselves to escape smoothly and avoid pursuit; the second was to buy time, hoping that the expanding wave reversal would eradicate both Level 5 civilizations in one fell swoop.

It is evident that although the actions of Entropy Civilization were insane, the strategy was actually very cold and calculated.

They exploited the desire of both Antimatter Civilization and Krypton Gold Civilization to personally attempt to stop the expanding wave reversal by luring both civilizations to the edge of the expanding wave reversal. They trapped the opponents with the Entropy Wall Ball, then used the expanding wave reversal to completely obliterate the two civilizations, for when it comes to understanding the expanding wave reversal, no one in the Universe knows more than Entropy Civilization.

"Damn it, you cunning Entropy Civilization, you won’t escape for long!"

"Entropy Civilization, before the destruction of the Universe, we will surely grind you to dust!"

Realizing they had fallen into the ploy of Entropy Civilization, both Antimatter Civilization and Krypton Gold Civilization were furious.

However, they didn’t let anger cloud their judgment; they knew that escaping the expanding wave reversal was of utmost importance. Thus, the two civilizations each executed their methods, first breaking the Entropy Wall, then activating their Jump Engines, and managed to escape the area in one go.

However, the two civilizations did not flee to the same coordinates but to locations they deemed secure, for each feared sudden attacks from the other. Although they had agreed to eliminate Entropy Civilization together, that only applied when facing Entropy Civilization. If Entropy Civilization wasn’t present, they couldn’t guarantee each other’s intentions, so as experienced Level 5 civilizations, they each chose the safest escape routes.

Boom!

Just moments after their escape, the expanding wave reversal struck, instantly destroying the Entropy Walls in the starry sky!
