Chapter 416: Void Life

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When the Void Evil appeared on the battlefield again, Li Wenyuan immediately captured this information related to the void.

After passing through many galaxies, he already had a unique detection method for those special lifeforms. Be it the Ether Dragons or the Void Evil, Li Wenyuan would know about these special lifeforms the moment they appeared.

Although the detection range could only roughly cover one galaxy group, it was enough because most of the interactions between lifeforms happened within this range.

“I almost forgot about this. The Void Evil is even the Hunter’s biological weapon…”

“Furthermore, this time is different from before. The Void Evils that the Hunter personally trained here will definitely be much more complicated than before…”

“Then what should I do… Should I use the Pillar of Creation to create an isolation zone to lock them up until the universe eliminates them? Or lure them to one place and destroy them as much as possible…”

Li Wenyuan’s first reaction was to think about how to deal with these void lifeforms. After all, there was no Void Lord to negotiate this time. As the actual controller of the Void Evil, the Hunter would definitely maximize the combat strength of the void lifeforms.

Moreover, considering the almost endless evolution and the accompanying void nature, it was actually still difficult to destroy.

This time, it was not to destroy the Void Cataclysm, but a war between civilizations.

Thus, Li Wenyuan became even more cautious. He adjusted the destination of the fleet’s warp and warped towards the galaxy where the Void Evil was located.

At the very least, he needed to confirm to what extent the Void Evil had evolved.

Then, as expected, he encountered the Void Evil this time.

Compared to the Void Evil that had just hatched from the Void Egg, these rather mature void lifeforms had already shed their hideous and terrifying appearance.

Generally speaking, only unintelligent creatures would make themselves dangerous. Whether it was in terms of color or appearance, predators would feel that they would die if they ate this thing to protect themselves.

This was the result of natural selection. It might not be applicable in space, but there was a similar reason.

The hideous appearance of the Void Evil that was just born, which was not inferior to Presolin, might also be the result of its natural evolution.

However, this time, the Void Evil showed a perfect form.

Its outer shell had already evolved to be extremely smooth. Under the star’s illumination, it reflected a dazzling light. It should have been the shell of a lifeform’s armor, but it strangely had a metallic luster.

The so-called body organs were also simplified as much as possible. On the parts that might be the head, there were no mouthparts, eyes, or breathing holes. To use a more graphic description, the current Void Evil looked like an earthworm without any links.

Although it might be a little disgusting, it was also a different kind of perfectness. To a certain extent, these Void Evils could no longer be said to be lifeforms. They were more like products created under some kind of rules.

Facing these Void Evils that looked completely different, Li Wenyuan showed enough importance. All the main cannons of the battleships were aimed at them, and the various equipment that could assist in battle was ready to be activated at any time.

After entering this domain, ordinary attacks were already very difficult to take effect. He had to mobilize some deep-level things.

For this reason, the main combat weapons of this war were actually the Pillar of Creation and the Reality Penetrometer. The other conventional weapons were used to support combat.

Li Wenyuan was also prepared to activate the Reality Penetrometer again. At such a close distance, the effect of the Reality Penetrometer would be better.

While he was fully focused on waiting for the upcoming battle, the Void Evils displayed a different attitude.

They did not launch an attack on the fleet that had warped over. Instead, they suddenly reunited and intertwined, just like a group of earthworms that could not break free. They intertwined layer by layer, finally forming a sphere that looked disgusting from the visual aspect.

Not only was Li Wenyuan baffled by this scene, but even the Hunter was confused.

They had already confirmed that the method they used to control the Void Evil had failed, but this was indeed the first time they had seen such a strange state.

Then, the sphere formed by the Void Evil began to compress. The muscles of the lifeform organism were faithfully carrying out this order, and the outermost Void Evil began to squeeze inward.

The flesh and blood disintegrated from the giant sphere as it was squeezed. Just by looking at it, one could almost hear the teeth-numbing sound of breaking and friction.

However, these Void Evils were still doing so, as if there was a higher level of willpower urging them to quickly destroy their lives.

When it shrank to the end, it seemed that only the skin and the outermost thin muscle were still exerting strength. Only then did the purpose of these Void Evils truly reveal themselves.

The evolution power of Super Evolution did not seem to have any effect on these Void Evils. There were scattered biological tissues floating everywhere in the cosmic space around them. As for the ball in the center that could no longer be seen, it began to transform into another kind of lifeform.

It was a pitch-black sphere that was different from the Black Hole.

Li Wenyuan could see through the spaceship’s sensors that the last flesh and blood tissue of the Void Evil was falling off the surface of the sphere, and something was growing out of the sphere. It looked like it had a life of its own, but Li Wenyuan knew the nature of the sphere very well.

That was the void, the Recycling Bin that existed outside this universe and stored countless cycles of data.

If the data was not extracted in a special way, there might be a leakage, causing the surrounding universe to fall irreversibly and become a member of the trash data.

In theory, this was an extremely dangerous thing, but its unique value forced every capable civilization to pry.

Just like how humans extracted fragments of the past from it, the Hunter also extracted something different from it.

How did the anti-thermodynamic property of the Void Evil come about? Li Wenyuan had thought about this question before. In the end, he concluded that the Hunters didn’t pay attention to the fragments of the past. They were more concerned about the nature of the void itself.

They wanted to use the nature of the void, which didn’t exist in this universe, to help them collect energy. Anti-thermodynamic was just one of their research results on the void.

If they needed it, they might be able to develop anti-science.

Thinking about the void that appeared here again reminded Li Wenyuan of something that he almost ignored.

Why did that Void Lord form those strange insect-shaped lifeforms when he vanished?

Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be any fixed forms in the void, nor should there be any life. They were essentially a kind of trash data, but he saw something that could be called a void bug.

Could this mean that the void actually had life?

While Li Wenyuan was still thinking about this problem, the lifeforms formed by the void sphere also revealed their general appearance.

Due to the pitch-black surface, this void lifeform couldn’t see any biological characteristics at all. He could only roughly guess that it was some kind of bug from the many pairs of appendage-like limbs it waved. It looked like the void bug that Li Wenyuan knew.

The first thing the void bug did after completely revealing itself was very surprising.

It conveyed its words with a strange signal:

[We meet again…]

The target of the signal was Li Wenyuan’s battleship, or rather, Li Wenyuan himself, who was hiding behind countless battleships..
