Five Frozen Centuries - Chapter 372

Chapter 372: Two Gods

The emperor roared, “Where is my Chief Scientist? Chief Scientist, explain the current situation immediately and propose a solution!”

The emperor’s Chief Scientist said, “Your Majesty, our hyperdrive engine works based on the principle of shortening the distance by folding space. The reason the hyperdrive engine can’t be started is because space has been highly folded and has exceeded the range of the hyperdrive engine’s folding ability. That’s why we can’t start the hyperdrive engine!”

The emperor asked, “What should we do? Wait for death?”

The Devouring Rule spread out, and the Godhood Energy of the Titan battleship was decreasing rapidly. If this continued, they would be completely devoured by the Devouring Rule.

The Chief Scientist said, “Your Majesty, folding space and folding an endless piece of paper are the same. It’s easy to fold them once, but it’s difficult to fold them 10 times. I’m afraid no one can do it 100 times. Although the enemy’s Titan can fold a large area of space, it’s impossible to fold it forever. According to my calculations, the enemy’s limit must be 15 seconds. We can leave in 15 seconds!”

The emperor looked at the decreasing speed of the Godhood Energy and said, “Very good, I’ll wait for 15 seconds. If my army can’t escape this vortex in 15 seconds, I’ll kill you immediately!”

The Chief Scientist panicked but could not take back his words. He immediately said, “Your Majesty, don’t worry. 20 seconds is the maximum. It will definitely not exceed 20 seconds!”

The emperor ignored him. He had already started counting down.

The Chief Scientist was a little flustered. He had spoken too confidently. He should have said 30 seconds. No, he should have said 45 seconds!

However, after 20 seconds, the vortex still existed. All the battleships were sucked into the vortex, and the huge vortex showed no signs of stopping.

The emperor was furious. “There are many scientists in my empire. Can’t any of them think of a solution?”

At that moment, another level-four civilization suddenly sent a cosmic broadcast to other civilizations. The one who spoke was a very young scientist who was still a little flustered. He stammered and said, “This… This is not folded space… This is a shrinking four-dimensional vortex! The Titan is a four-dimensional creation. It is currently shrinking in four dimensions. A three-dimensional world can accommodate countless two-dimensional worlds. Similarly, a four-dimensional creation can accommodate countless three-dimensional spaces. Even if all the space in this Star Field is absorbed, the four-dimensional vortex will not stop!”

The emperor frowned and immediately sent a cosmic broadcast to the level-four civilization. “Young man, tell me your solution. If it works, I’ll make you the Chief Scientist of my empire when I escape!”

The young scientist, who was flattered, stammered, “It’s simple… We just need to create a two-dimensional barrier. The four-dimensional vortex will absorb three-dimensional space, but it will not absorb two-dimensional space. By creating a two-dimensional barrier, we will block the four-dimensional vortex.”

However, someone immediately asked him, “How can we create a two-dimensional barrier? Your civilization must quickly share its technology with us!”

The young man said, “It’s… This is… an experiment of mine. I unfolded a proton in two dimensions and then unfolded a three-dimensional object. This is the result of my research…”

The young man shared the technology with a universe broadcast. Instantly, all the civilizations present accepted this technology.

When all the scientists saw these technological achievements, they exclaimed, “Genius!”

This young man attracted the attention of all the level-four civilizations. The emperor told his subordinates, “This person must be poached by me. He’s a genius!”

However, the genius disappeared a second later. The spacecraft he was in was devoured by the Devouring Rule.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Such a genius had disappeared just like that?

Everyone was confused. Why hadn’t such a genius been protected on the Titan battleship?

The level-four civilization was filled with regret. Why had they not discovered such a genius in advance?

However, gradually, everyone started blaming God. He was such an outstanding genius. Why would he be destroyed? Why wasn’t he retained?

If Wei Huo and the Snake God had known their doubts, they might have answered, “We don’t care.”

However, Wei Huo and the Snake God did not know. After all, they could not be bothered to monitor their thoughts and questions. At that moment, Wei Huo only activated the black-and-white Titan and started absorbing matter to shrink it in four dimensions. The Snake God only broke out of its shell and instinctively devoured the surrounding food.

At the end of the day, they were not taking this fleet seriously.

Countless level-four civilizations were already racking their brains to find a way to leave this star system. Thanks to the shared technology of the young scientists, they finally created a two-dimensional barrier in a very short time. The so-called two-dimensional barrier was like a piece of paper that was even thinner than actual paper. This barrier could not provide defense against any attacks, and even cosmic rays could penetrate it.

However, this two-dimensional barrier was very effective against the four-dimensional vortex. As the young scientist had said, the shrinking four-dimensional vortex was only interested in three-dimensional space. It was not interested in something as small as two-dimensional space.

It was just like placing a plate of beef and half a bean sprout in front of a hungry person. They would definitely choose the beef, at least until they felt full.

Thus, part of the fleet of the level-four civilizations finally escaped the terrifying four-dimensional vortex.

However, at that moment, the Snake God appeared and said, “How hungry!”

All the level-four civilizations saw the Snake God. They saw its ancient body, but when they saw its face, they were confused.

It was an indescribable face. When we talk about other things, we tend to find similar objects to describe them. However, when we cannot find any similarities, we can only say, “That creature has two eyes, a nose, and a mouth.”

However, the problem was that the faces of most creatures on Earth were like this. One usually would not describe a person’s face like a monkey’s face. They would say that a person’s face was like a panda’s face or a tiger’s face.

Unfortunately, they could not think of anything similar when they saw the Snake God. That was why they could not describe it!

“Is this… God?”

Everyone was stunned. This was the first time they had seen a living god.

At that moment, a person walked out of the black-and-white Titan. The black-and-white Titan did not have a hatch, so that person flew out as if he had surfaced from the water. He flew in front of the Snake God and said, “Since you’ve delivered yourself to our door, we won’t be polite.”

This person looked very ordinary compared to the Snake God. He had black hair, black eyes, and a typical Asian face. This was what the ancients had looked like. It was easy to describe him, but he was actually standing side by side with the Snake God. This meant that… he was also a god!

They were two gods!
