Chapter 2329

"I knew I misjudged you! All gods are the same!!!"

At this point, Geer had reached his limit.

He felt weaker than before… There was no way around it; the Black Death Sword had been severely damaged when facing the resurrection of the Celestials, and it had to exert all its strength to protect its wielder. This resulted in damage to the Black Death Sword and a disconnection from the network with Nar. Actually, recovery was simple: just continue slaughtering gods.

The Black Death Sword was forged specifically to slaughter gods. It feeds on the lives of gods and can regenerate as long as it continues to kill them.

Of course, that would allow it to continue connecting to the network. At that point, whether Gale would still be Gale at all would be hard to say.

Of course, Gale didn't give Black Death Sword that chance either.

He was foolishly using the flesh and blood of other creatures to reshape his body. During this time, he couldn't even kill gods, let alone powerful figures... He finally started to attack Asgard, but only some small fry. Then he encountered Sif.

In other words, the Black Death Sword was never restored.

And naturally, it was impossible for Gehr to return to his prime.

With Sif's help, he finally arrived at the Altar of Eternity. He was just one step away from the end. All he had to do was express his final wish, and everything would be over.

Unexpectedly, Thor suddenly appeared at that moment.

This makes everything seem unpredictable and confusing.

Gel wanted to explain his true intentions to Thor, but Thor simply didn't believe him!

This put Ger in a difficult position, and coupled with his injury, the situation became even worse.

What's more, they even dragged Zeus, whom Gele hated the most, into it.

So Geer lost control for a moment!

As Gale loses control, the hidden darkness and madness of the Black Death Sword begin to affect him once again.

The Black Death Sword was a divine weapon forged in madness, and even without Gnar's influence, it was inherently malevolent.

As Gerr's body began to be covered in black, sticky substance, the deathly madness that Thor had sensed earlier about Gerr reappeared.

Thor was even less convinced now.

Click! ! !

A golden bolt of lightning struck directly at Geer.

Ger looked up, black liquid dripping from the corners of his eyes and mouth.

He raised the cross-shaped longsword in his hand, and without any effort, he simply slashed it in front of him. A dark crack appeared out of thin air, and all the lightning seemed to be attracted by something, rushing quickly towards the darkness!

The Black Death Sword was born from the first killing and the first death in the universe!
At the same time, it was also forged by Nar from the void.

It inherently possesses the properties of emptiness.

Therefore, it can open up the void!

That's a bit abstract, but to put it simply, this thing can easily create a small black hole!
That makes it clear.

Of course, this thing is far more powerful than a black hole in essence! It involves the formation and birth of matter throughout the entire universe!

Because Gnar himself is actually a part of the universe. Although he is not as powerful as the five gods, he is indeed a part of the universe itself. He represents the nothingness before the formation of matter after the birth of the universe!

In the beginning of the universe, there was no such thing as matter.

When we talk about "matter," words like "atom" and "molecule" often come to mind. These concepts hold an important place in traditional physics, but from the perspective of quantum physics, their meaning seems somewhat "outdated." At the forefront of modern physics, electrons, quarks, and other particles once considered the "smallest particles" are actually just excited states of a quantum field. Simply put, the universe is like a huge field, and the particles we are familiar with are actually just tiny bubbles rising in that field. Like ripples on the surface of water, the ripples themselves are not water, but rather a certain state of motion of the water. This also explains why modern physics often uses terms like "probability" and "fluctuation." Because every "particle" is actually an "excited state" of a quantum field under specific conditions. So the question arises: if all the bubbles were removed, would the universe become truly "empty"? Many people believe that the so-called "vacuum" is complete emptiness—nothing at all. But did you know that in the eyes of modern physics, this "absolute emptiness" simply does not exist? Why is this? Because in the microscopic world, even seemingly empty spaces can spontaneously produce particle and antiparticle pairs.

These entities, known as "virtual particles," are not true particles. Their existence is extremely brief, almost impossible to observe directly. However, they can genuinely influence surrounding matter, leaving tiny "fingerprints," such as subtle perturbations to electron trajectories. In the last century, British physicist Paul Dirac theoretically predicted this phenomenon, and later, scientists, through precise experiments, actually measured the "traces" they left behind. You might ask: since virtual particle pairs always "appear and disappear in an instant," why do some remain and become the matter we see today? The key lies in the intervention of energy. Normally, virtual particles are merely transient perturbations in the quantum field; they appear in pairs and quickly annihilate each other, as if they never existed. But if a sufficiently powerful external energy intervenes, such as a beam of high-energy photons that happens to strike the location where the virtual particle pair was created, the situation can change. This energy acts like a sudden injection of "seed capital," providing the particles, which would otherwise only exist briefly, with the energy needed to sustain their existence. It's like in a game where your character is initially just a "shadow figure" in the background, without a physical form, items, or even a name. But as long as players "recharge" for you, you will immediately transform from a shadow into a full-fledged character, gaining not only an exclusive appearance but also equipment.

The key to this process is the "locking" of energy—that is, when these virtual particles absorb enough energy, they are no longer just a brief disturbance in the quantum field, but "transform" into stable particles. This locked energy becomes the mass of the particle. Speaking of the relationship between energy and matter, we must mention Einstein's mass-energy equivalence equation—E=mc². This is not a simple formula, but the core law of the entire physical world. It tells us that energy and mass are essentially the same thing; they are just two different manifestations of the same thing. At this point, you might be wondering: if matter is transformed from energy, then where did the first energy come from? We now know that energy can "activate" virtual particles, turning them into real particles, thus forming the universe. But who is this "activator"? And who pressed the "start button" for the universe? Scientists have given a shocking answer: the universe initially had nothing at all, not even "space." The four-dimensional spacetime we are familiar with only "expanded" after the Big Bang. For a long time, many people believed that the Big Bang was simply a sudden "bang," where a "point" exploded and all matter spewed out of a "fireball." But modern physics tells us that the Big Bang was not a simple "explosion," but rather a surge in the release of energy.

In 1980, American physicist Alan Guth proposed the "inflation theory." He believed that the universe underwent an extremely rapid expansion in its initial, very short period. This process is scientifically known as "cosmic inflation." How fast was this process? In just 10 to the power of -36 seconds to 10 to the power of -32 seconds after the Big Bang, the volume of the universe expanded by at least 10 to the power of 26 times! What does this mean? Imagine a space the size of an atom; at the rate of inflation, it could instantly become the size of the Milky Way. The "fuel" for this inflation was the enormous amount of energy stored within the inflationary field itself. After inflation ended, this released energy did not dissipate but was transformed into various elementary particles and antiparticles. You can imagine it as a huge pot of energy soup that "boiled" in a very short time, producing countless bubbles—these bubbles are the "seeds" that later formed atoms, stars, galaxies, and even you and me. But then a crucial event occurred: due to the rapid expansion of the universe, particles and antiparticles that should have annihilated each other didn't have time to collide and were separated by space. As a result, some particles "survived" and were not destroyed by antiparticles. This is the "source" of the matter in the universe that we see today.

You might ask, is there any evidence for such a miraculous inflation? The answer is: yes, and there's increasing evidence. One of the strongest pieces of evidence is the cosmic microwave background radiation—the "residual heat" left over from the Big Bang. Scientists, through precise observations of the microwave background radiation, have discovered that its minute fluctuations precisely match the predictions of inflationary theory. Furthermore, the distribution of large-scale structures in the universe and the formation of galaxy clusters also highly agree with inflationary theory. Although many details remain unsolved, inflation has become the "mainstream version" explaining the origin of the universe. Of course, this is not the end. Scientists are still asking: Why was there more matter than antimatter left after inflation? Why did the "seeds" of the universe survive? These are the most cutting-edge mysteries in modern physics. However, one thing is certain: every one of us, every star, and every rock is a "miracle" of energy transformation after that cosmic inflation.

Simply put, the Black Death Sword has the ability to create a 'nothingness' without matter, atoms, electrons, protons, or anything like that.

However, the universe itself does not exist in this state.

Therefore, when this nothingness appears, the universe will instinctively fill it.

The form is the nothingness created by the Black Death Sword, which will recklessly absorb everything around it!
Whether it is matter or energy, the universe will forcibly 'bestow' this void upon it, filling it up.

It's like if you dig a hole next to a puddle, the water in the puddle will naturally flow through it and become part of the puddle!

Of course, the actual volume of this nothingness is extremely small, so small that current human measuring instruments cannot give a specific size, because it is too small... After all, the conversion rate of this thing is terrifying.

Einstein's mass-energy equivalence equation broke through the barrier between mass and energy, revealing the equivalent exchange relationship between matter and energy. This breakthrough significantly enhanced humanity's understanding of the laws of nature, revealing the origin of the universe and providing a key to future energy utilization. The core of the mass-energy equivalence equation is the equivalent interchangeability of mass and energy. This means they can be converted into each other; mass can be converted into energy, and energy into matter. Einstein's mass-energy equivalence equation has a complex and complete derivation process (see diagram below), which ultimately condenses into a simple formula: E=MC^2. Here, E represents energy, M represents mass, and C represents the speed of light. From this formula, we can see that the total energy converted from mass is astonishing.

According to the formula, if 1 kg of mass (ignoring the properties of matter) is converted into energy, it can obtain about 9*10^16 J (joules) of energy. How much energy is this? It is roughly the total energy that the sun radiates to the earth every second, or equivalent to 2500 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity, or the explosive power of 2151 million tons of TNT (equivalent to the simultaneous explosion of more than 1 Hiroshima atomic bombs).

This goes beyond mere theoretical derivation. Since Einstein formulated this equation, scientists have conducted countless experiments over more than 100 years, and all conclusions precisely match the theory. However, the conditions for converting mass into energy are extremely demanding, requiring extremely high temperatures or immense pressures. Nuclear fusion in the Sun's core occurs continuously at 300 billion atmospheres of pressure and 3000 million degrees Celsius. During hydrogen fusion, a portion of mass is converted into enormous amounts of energy, continuously released into space as electromagnetic radiation. Past energy methods used by humans, such as burning coal and oil, are not mass-energy equivalence conversions but primarily chemical changes, resulting in very low conversion rates. For example, burning 1 kg of coal yields only 29307000 J of energy; calculated according to the mass-energy equivalence equation, the conversion rate is only about 3 * 10^-10, or one in 1500 billion.

In short, if this void were even slightly larger, everyone and everything present would be sucked away!

As for why there was a black area... that's because even the light was absorbed!

That's why Thor's lightning bolts were completely ineffective!

However, before Thor could react...

As if boneless, Gale sprang up like a slime and appeared in front of Thor with a "Duang," the Black Death Sword in his hand bursting with black light!

Thor instinctively raised the lightning bolt in his hand to block!
