CHAPTER 543: CHAPTER 542: THE MAGICAL ENTROPY CIVILIZATION

Civilizations within the Super Quasar are all fifth-level civilizations.

Although the Wandering Alliance, Degenerate Civilization, Black Hole Civilization, and Antimatter Civilization are currently hosting a convention of fifth-level civilizations, they had not relaxed their vigilance; they remained cautious about their surroundings, and even more wary of the fifth-level civilizations present at the conference who might seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

Therefore, the Wandering Alliance, Degenerate Civilization, Black Hole Civilization, and Antimatter Civilization all detected anomalies occurring in the Super Quasar almost immediately.

As a result, these four fifth-level civilizations temporarily paused their conference discussions.

They were all cautiously and seriously observing the turbulent location that had emerged within the Super Quasar.

They saw the high-density accretion disk material swell and shake, radiating outward, followed by the sudden emergence of a massive nebula.

According to observations by the Wandering Alliance, this nebula that had suddenly appeared had a highly chaotic Entropy Value. Furthermore, the planets and Constant Stars within the nebula did not orbit as is typical in a normal nebula but existed instead in a disordered, colliding state; from a universal perspective, celestial bodies inside the nebula resembled billiard balls on a pool table—although highly chaotic and frequently colliding, they remained confined within the nebula’s heliosphere.

This was an astonishing spectacle, something the Wandering Alliance, despite its extensive wandering, had never encountered before.

Moreover, what astounded the Wandering Alliance even more, though frequent collisions occurred among celestial bodies inside the nebula, they did not result in the anticipated explosions, fragmentation, or fusion. It seemed as though an invisible repulsive force enveloped these celestial bodies. Whenever they approached and collided with each other, this force would neutralize the impact, causing them to rebound off each other.

This extraordinary nebula was maintaining its chaotic yet non-destructive state through this unusual mechanism.

Although the Wandering Alliance did not understand why this nebula had developed such an unusual mechanism, they knew it must herald an Advanced Civilization.

Because only an Advanced Civilization could create such a state of chaos yet stability.

Furthermore, observations by the Wandering Alliance revealed that all the planets within this peculiar nebula exhibited signs of luminescence and life activity. Taking into account the ongoing Cosmic Crisis, where only fifth-level civilizations could survive, this further indicated that this peculiar nebula was also a fifth-level civilization.

The Wandering Alliance couldn’t help but analyze what kind of civilization this nebula belonged to and what its purpose might be.

Meanwhile,

the moment this peculiar nebula appeared, it sent forth an angry message.

"Degenerate Civilization, we thought you could hide until the Universe’s destruction. Why stop hiding now?"

Although these messages were only directed at the Degenerate Civilization, it was not difficult for other fifth-level civilizations to intercept them, so all present civilizations were aware. Now, the Wandering Alliance understood that this civilization was targeting the Degenerate Civilization. It seemed they were old enemies!

However, before the Degenerate Civilization could reply,

the Antimatter Civilization quickly sent a message: "Entropy Civilization, shouldn’t this be something we say to you? We haven’t forgotten the last time you tricked us; if you hadn’t fled so quickly, you would certainly know the consequences of deceiving our Antimatter Civilization!"

Hearing this, the Wandering Alliance then realized.

So this peculiar nebula was actually the Entropy Civilization, creators of the Entropy Beast.

In fact, some science teams within the Wandering Alliance had also speculated that this nebula was likely the Entropy Civilization. Though they had never seen it before, since there aren’t many fifth-level civilizations in the universe, and given the high entropy value of this chaotic nebula, they could somewhat guess the identity of the Entropy Civilization.

They just hadn’t been so certain until now, which was confirmed through communication.

After receiving the message from the Antimatter Civilization, the Entropy Civilization responded: "Antimatter Civilization, we can discuss our grievances later. This time we are specifically targeting the Degenerate Civilization, we hold no malice towards you. Trust me, if we successfully handle the Degenerate Civilization, it will be entirely beneficial and harmless to you."

"Oh? It seems you have grievances with the Degenerate Civilization, and we are quite curious about it!"

Though the Antimatter Civilization was eager to avenge the wrong done to them before, they wouldn’t reject the opportunity to watch an intense showdown between two strong rivals.

At this time, the Degenerate Civilization finally spoke: "Entropy Civilization, why must you persist in this way? Given the current situation, we should set aside our old views and collaborate to survive this Cosmic Crisis. Haven’t you heard of the Cosmic Cycle Theory?"

"At first, we did not know, but seeing this hundreds of billions of light-years wide Super Quasar, as well as your fighting over accretion disk material, we should now understand."

Although the Entropy Civilization was a fifth-level civilization and had not previously considered this theory, they could still make educated guesses based on clues. However, due to insufficient targeted research, scientists of the Entropy Civilization had not grasped the equations and data of the Cosmic Cycle, they only knew of this concept from others.

There were mainly two reasons why the Entropy Civilization suddenly appeared.

One was because the disturbances caused by the Super Quasar were too significant to ignore; even from another cosmic zone, the Entropy Civilization could observe the phenomena of material flow.

Secondly, the Entropy Civilization had been tracking the Degenerate Civilization for a long time. However, because the Degenerate Civilization naturally had a dual characteristic advantage in concealing itself, the Entropy Civilization had not found them until they revealed themselves, which allowed the Entropy Civilization to trace them based on clues.

This was also the main reason why the Degenerate Civilization had been attached to the Wandering Nebula for so long without the Wandering Alliance noticing.

One reason was that the technological prowess of the Wandering Alliance at the time was insufficient, and the other was because the Degenerate Civilization, being a particle life form, found impersonating cosmic particles incredibly easy, making it difficult even for fifth-level civilizations to detect any signs.

At this time, the Entropy Civilization continued: "However, the Cosmic Cycle Theory is just a theory, there’s no solid evidence showing that we can escape the universe through this method. Even assuming the Cosmic Cycle Theory is correct, collaborating with your Degenerate Civilization is absolutely impossible!"

"After all, we don’t want to be betrayed by you again!"

The last words of the Entropy Civilization were expressed quite resentfully, as if they were a wronged little daughter-in-law.

Upon receiving the message, the Degenerate Civilization fell into silence, but the Entropy Civilization then issued a warning to all civilizations present: "I would advise everyone here to be vigilant and not to trust the shameless Degenerate Civilization. They will definitely betray you in the end, and we, the Entropy Civilization, are a bloody example of this. Do not make the same mistake!"
