Cataclysm: Undead Dragons and Zero Empire

Chapter 116 The Tragedy of Existence

Lin Ziming had already seen many magnificent interstellar structures, from the City of a Thousand Stars of the Boros Space Foundation to the scientific hub of the Homborian Consortium, and even the black hole warships that had once been his enemies, and the celestial warships whose bodies were made of neutron stars that collided with him.

However, those colossal structures appear as rocks to mountains or mayflies to whales in the face of this warship.

It quietly peeked out from the rift in subspace, casting a huge shadow over the galaxy. Its enormous size and mass might prevent it from fully entering the real universe.

The moment this warship appeared, an invisible wave emanated from its hull. It appeared harmless, but it was far more terrifying than any weapon capable of destroying planets.

Because it is modifying the fundamental constants of this universe, the speed of light, which is constant in a vacuum, begins to decrease sharply within the range covered by this fluctuation.

In this galaxy where the speed of light constant has been altered, a low-light-speed black hole expands instantly, creating a more desperate prison than any ordinary black hole.

In a normal cosmic environment, a black hole can devour everything because its escape velocity in its gravitational field exceeds the speed of light, so much so that even light cannot escape. However, in this galaxy where the constant has been modified, the speed of light is suppressed to an even lower level, which means that the spread of the black hole's event horizon can be much larger.

However, the devastating impact on the structure of matter caused by the low speed of light is even more fatal. When the speed of light is suppressed, electrons can no longer maintain their orbits around the nucleus, and the atomic radius begins to increase infinitely, causing the originally stable atomic structure to collapse instantly.

The colossal warship that emerged from the subspace released not only fluctuations that altered the speed of light, but also another force that firmly suppressed the veil between the real universe and the subspace.

The warp veil, which was originally turbulent and riddled with cracks, became solidified under the suppression of this force, making any attempt to communicate with the warp and obtain psionic energy much more difficult.

The information-state fleets that had been retreating under the impact of "Death of Zero" became active again. Unaffected by the low light speed environment, they launched an even more ferocious attack on Lin Ziming, whose movements were severely restricted.

The crisis had already arrived. For the first time, Lin Ziming had fallen into such an extreme predicament. The imprisonment by the Black Hole Battleship seemed like child's play in the face of the current situation.

Lin Zimo no longer controls the power of "Death of Zero", no longer cares about the impact of this battle on the surrounding star system, and no longer holds back his strength.

The dark red flames stopped spreading outwards and began to contract and condense inwards, compressed by Lin Ziming around his body, forming a cold, dark red sun.

This sun did not emit any light or heat; instead, it was frantically devouring everything around it, like a black star born after the end of the universe.

Dragon Shadow hovered at the core of this black and red sun, his three pairs of fiery eyes coldly watching the giant warship that peeked out from the warp, as well as the information-state fleet that was constantly circulating in the starry sky.

After extreme compression, flames surged forth once more from the black-red sun, rushing towards the Möbius strip-shaped fleet.

Those interconnected ring structures, composed of countless streams of information, began to rapidly annihilate the moment they touched the black and red flames, vanishing like a riverbed dried up in the dry season.

Then came the second, the third—Lin Ziming, like a precise hunter, wielded a blade forged from the power of termination, shattering and incinerating the Möbius strips in the starry sky one by one.

Black and red flames crisscrossed the starry sky, leaving the information network that covered the entire galaxy riddled with holes and shattered.

However, Lin Ziming kept an eye on the giant warship that had ceased all movement the moment the black and red sun took shape. It seemed to be observing the dragon shadow that soared freely and spread destruction, or perhaps it was brewing an even more terrifying attack.

The ship, made of an unknown metal and capable of withstanding its own weight, began to appear illusory.

The materials that make up the ship's hull are becoming transparent, and they are transforming into an information state at an astonishing rate.

In an instant, nearly half of the volume of this giant warship, which was even larger than the Heng galaxy, was transformed into pure information flow. It was no longer a physical warship, but a boundless ocean of information covering the entire galaxy.

An unimaginably huge Möbius strip was slowly taking shape, and Lin Ziming immediately felt an unprecedented pressure.

The information flow surged toward Lin Ziming, no longer the stream that had previously attempted to alter his information, but a tsunami of information powerful enough to engulf him. It was no longer fixated on modifying Lin Ziming himself, but began to do something far more terrifying.

It is modifying all information about Lin Ziming in the universe; this is the opponent's true killing move.

It's not about killing his body, nor about destroying his "death of zero," but about completely erasing all traces of his existence, like erasing words written on paper bit by bit with an eraser. When all the words are wiped clean, there will be no trace of those words left on the paper, as if they had never been written at all.

Lin Ziming instantly understood the other party's intention. He sensed that his information was being lost and damaged, so he immediately made the flames of "Death of Zero" pierce through the heavens and earth like a spear, and fiercely stabbed into the core of the super giant Möbius strip that was taking shape, which was the part of the giant warship that had just completed its transformation.

The torrent of black and red flames struck the warship's hull without hindrance. The flames, symbolizing the end of all things, spread across it in a short time, like paper scorched by the flames curling up, charring, and turning into ashes. Nearly half of the ship's hull was swallowed up by this attack.

A violent explosion occurred at the subspace curtain, forcibly interrupting the transformation process of the giant warship. The colossal Möbius strip trembled violently, and the boundless torrent of information was momentarily slowed down.

The remaining half of the ship, heavily damaged, retreated into the depths of the warp like a giant beast licking its wounds. It came in haste and left in haste, shrinking back into the warp before the flames completely consumed it, leaving only a huge tear in the curtain of space slowly healing in the starry sky.

Lin Ziming did not press his advantage, because he discovered that even though he had severely damaged the giant warship and interrupted its attack, the power that erased information about him from the universe did not disappear with the warship's retreat. Instead, it began to spread wildly like a plague.

As if they had achieved their goal and thought everything was settled, the Möbius strip fleet, after being destroyed, regrouped, leaped again, and fled the battlefield, far away from that dangerous flame.

In the still, high-temperature environment, Lin Ziming could clearly sense that his own existence information was gradually being lost from the universe, erased, and forgotten.

This was not physical damage; his dragon bones were gradually becoming ethereal, losing their physical form, with only the flames of "Death of Zero" still burning on them.

Records of "Undead Dragon" and "Lin Zimo" in the universe are disappearing, like a stone tablet falling to the bottom of a river, constantly being washed and eroded by the river water, the writing on it is becoming blurred and can no longer be distinguished.
