The world-devouring dragon

Galactic center.

90% of the matter in the entire Milky Way exists in the center of the Milky Way, where tens of millions of stars gather. The ultra-high-density nebula dust squeezes each other, and then suddenly, the dust gathers into stars under high pressure, spontaneously generating nuclear fusion reactions.

Stars are lit up all the time, but there are also stars all the time devouring each other and eventually collapsing into black holes.

If you look here from anywhere in the Milky Way, you will only see that the center of the Milky Way is a ball of extremely bright light. Thousands, tens of thousands, billions of stars are gathered here. The light emitted by these stars makes the whole world... The Milky Way was eclipsed.

But in the brightest and deepest part, there is a faint darkness.

Many invisible black holes are mixed among millions of stars, swallowing up those huge stars from time to time. These greedy black holes devour them hungrily.

This is the arena of stars and the dining table of black holes.

This is not a place where intelligent civilization can survive. Bugs, monsters, monsters, AI... No one dares to come here. This is the world of stars and black holes, and a place of fight between the most magnificent things in the universe.

There is a country called the Chu clan on the left tentacle of the snail, and there is a country called the Man clan on the right tentacle. In order to compete for land, the two countries killed millions of people on both sides. But what do people think?

In the face of these most majestic things that are fighting for each other, the so-called evil gods, monsters, AI, and humans who are starting wars all over the galaxy and intending to control the galaxy are just fighting.

...that's how it should be.

However, with a force coming from the galaxy, this stable pattern is being broken.

…

Deep in the chaotic nebula, there is a thick accretion disk and numerous nebula dust swirling around a black hole.

In the accretion disk, there is also a huge star that was accidentally captured and is rotating counterclockwise. Each rotation will cause the black hole's gravity to tear off a large amount of stellar material from its body, and a large amount of stellar material will move in the direction of the black hole. Fly away.

This star, which is hundreds of times larger than the sun, is powerless in the face of the black hole's gravity. It can no longer break free and can only wait in vain for the fate of being swallowed up.

The black hole slowly devoured it, and the rays escaping from the upper and lower sides of the black hole's event horizon formed two strange light pillars. The vast scene was enough to make anyone lose consciousness.

But outside the accretion disk, there is a majestic thing bigger than a star swimming around, unaffected by the gravity of the black hole. The incredibly huge snake, with its long and majestic body swimming in the accretion disk, makes the huge "black hole" formed by this huge accretion disk seem a little small in front of it.

The big snake opened its mouth of the abyss and swallowed up the thick accretion disk effortlessly. In front of its eyes, these accretion disks composed of nebula dust, meteorites and other materials were just cakes delivered to the door.

Each time, it swallows up a huge amount of mass comparable to a star, but it is still not enough for this black hole.

But these are just appetizing desserts, the real meal is yet to come.

In the starry sky, the big snake opened its mouth to swallow while dragging its long tail toward the black hole's horizon. The further forward, the more terrifying the strong gravity became, tearing the body of the giant snake.

On the body of the giant snake, some scales were torn off by gravity, but they were quickly regenerated, and with each reshaping, the next regenerated scales would be stronger. But the big snake turned a blind eye to all this, it was nothing more than a trivial matter.

Once you cross the black hole's horizon, you will completely fall into the [destiny] in the eyes of mortal beings.

Here, even light cannot escape, and it is impossible for any matter to escape. Even the Orochi can't, because it can't exceed the limit of the speed of light at will. This is a strange rule in this universe.

Here, a moment is eternity, and time completely stops passing.

This is the "black hole horizon" and this is the "light cone fate".

But why should we break free?

In the frozen time and space, the big snake was still moving forward, facing the infinitely small [singularity]. The big snake did not swallow the black hole directly, but circled around the singularity.

Nothing can be seen within the black hole's horizon, because light cannot escape, but the Orochi's strange senses can know that the black hole is in front of him. Looking down at the infinitesimal singularity, the Orochi's erect pupils are cold and indifferent.

"Strange things."

Orochi still vaguely remembered that in his human period, he had heard of such things as black holes, but did not understand them.

But at this moment, facing this black hole, it only feels that this black hole is very similar to itself, very similar, just like the corresponding thing that the god created in this physical universe using itself as the prototype.

At the beginning of the birth of this universe, if I failed to resist that kind of power, perhaps the final outcome would be to be reshaped in history and become a huge super black hole.

However, in addition, Orochi also vaguely realized that this imitation seemed to be the understanding of himself by the once omniscient and omnipotent god. This imitation and understanding vaguely revealed something more interesting. Perhaps even Orochi himself still Unawareness of nature.

But it doesn't matter, why bother pursuing the truth.

Mortals pursue the truth because they desire to make themselves stronger and more perfect. At the same time, they are afraid of the unknown and worry that they will fail or even die in the face of the unknown. Get what you don't know, so you no longer know the unknown and know how to overcome those difficulties.

But for a monster that is already perfect and infinite, why should it pursue anything else? Is there anything in the world that is worth pursuing?

After all, it is you who wins in the end, right?

The arrogant snake looked at the black hole in front of him with great interest, at the thing that was imitated based on itself, then circled, opened its mouth, and swallowed the infinitesimal black hole itself in one mouthful.

That is indeed a very powerful and terrifying force, so much so that even a big snake that swallows these black holes will obviously feel that it is difficult to digest them for a while.

Although it seems small, the satisfaction it brings to the snake is far beyond those stars. It even makes the snake feel full for a while, but the next moment, this vague feeling of fullness disappears and is replaced by More, more intense hunger.

Not enough, not enough, far from enough!

I need more, more, more... stars are not enough, black holes are not enough, and the entire galaxy is not enough. Only this universe can satisfy me.

Feeling the empty hunger, the increasingly hungry snake raised its head and let out a low roar. The unsatisfied monster looked around, staring greedily at the huge universe.

When the black hole is swallowed, the surrounding black hole event horizon gradually disappears.

Although the big snake still obeys the rules of the physical universe in most places, whether its scales or flesh and blood still generally obey the rules of the universe, this is not the case at a deeper level. It is a world dominated by strange forces. , a world dominated by the will of the serpent.

When the black hole is swallowed by the snake, the strong gravitational force disappears. In the belly of the monster, there is no rule that the greater the mass, the greater the gravity.

But just as the black hole's horizon disappeared, and looking around, the serpent's pupils were slightly surprised.

Well, were there so few stars just now?

At the moment when it enters and exits the black hole's event horizon, the number of stars in the sky suddenly seems to drop by an order of magnitude.

Before that, the starry sky was densely filled with countless stars. In the center of the Milky Way, stars were densely packed like sand, surrounded by countless shining stars. After returning from the black hole's event horizon, the shining stars suddenly became sparse.

Although it's still quite a lot, it's not nearly as much as it used to be.

There was something strange in my heart.

In this universe, the time in the black hole's horizon will not change, so every time it swallows a black hole, even the serpent itself is not very clear about how many years have passed in the outside world, although it does not care.

millennium? Ten thousand years? Millions of years?

have no idea.

Everything is possible.

Could it be that he had been delayed for too long in the black hole's horizon and now he has entered heat death?

According to human calculations, one day in the future the universe will fall into heat death, all stars will burn out, and the universe will fall into death silence. However, this time is estimated to be trillions of years long.

If this is really the case, it seems to be a pity. It is like eating delicious food that has been frozen into ice dregs after just two bites.

There was no ups and downs in the big snake's heart, but he just felt very sorry.

For it, even if the universe falls into heat death, it is just not very tasty. At the end of that time, it will completely swallow the entire universe into its belly. But before that, it could have slowly enjoyed the satisfaction brought by these delicacies.

But suddenly, the big snake looked at another place.

…

In the gap between the universe, in the originally abandoned Crystal Heavenly Palace.

Originally, everything should have ended, with nothing more than a small trace. But now, the originally desolate Crystal Palace has changed its appearance.

The once pure white world of light has now been replaced by machinery. Fine circuits and cold metal are filled with simple technological beauty. There are countless creatures in the temple, whether they are flesh and blood, mechanical AI, or even void field life forms, or even those deformed monsters... all life forms in the universe exist here.

No, not only all life that exists in the universe, including those that have been extinct for a long time, also exist, and those species that were born and died on various planets also sit here.

In the past, future and present, all creatures gathered together to listen to the teachings of the new god.

But at the very top of that creature, on the throne that only God could sit on, there was an additional being.

It is about two meters tall and has a well-proportioned body.

The new god has a calm demeanor, and there is an invisible charm in every move of his hands and feet, slowly explaining his rationality to all the creatures in the universe.

The Seat of God has been vacant for too long.

And after countless years, the Seat of God finally welcomed a new owner.

As if aware of the serpent's gaze, the new god raised his head and stared at it.

Following the movements of the new god, countless creatures all looked in the direction of the big snake; in the universe, all creatures looked in the direction of the big snake; in the past, future and present, all creatures in time and space looked in the direction of the big snake. .

All time and space, all regions, and all creatures speak the same words in various voices and languages.

"We've been waiting for you for a long time, Orochi."
