Wandering Meteor

All the Civilization Planets that tried to break into the Cosmic Zone Universe were stopped by a dark energy shield.

This energy shield is very peculiar, it is neither a spatial protective shield nor an isolation layer like the Information Wall, but rather an unprecedented form of protective technology.

What's even more peculiar is that when the rushing Civilization Planets made contact with this dark energy shield, the planets unexpectedly shattered into pieces without warning. And without exception, every Civilization Planet that touched the dark energy shield disintegrated into uneven fragments. As for the living beings on the Civilization Planets, they died instantly and turned to ash in a very short time, leaving no corpses behind, which is truly astonishing!

Seeing this, some Civilization Planets at the back urgently halted their movement.

After some detection, civilisations with fairly advanced technology found that the dark energy shield in front had highly fluctuating entropy values. To put it simply, it seemed to be an Entropy Wall, which had normal entropy values when not activated, so Level 4 Civilization's detection devices couldn't detect its presence. However, once activated, the Entropy Wall would absorb, suppress the entropy reduction of the contacted matter, and forcibly reverse it into entropy increase, prompting a direct transition to a state of heat death.

The reason the previous Civilization Planets shattered into pieces and had their life forms reduced to ashes was that their own entropy values were reversed.

"Damn it! Which civilization is behind this? Is there a need to be so utterly ruthless?"

"Now is not the time to curse our fate; the pressure of the rebounding shockwave is closing in. Let's urgently consider if there is any way to pass through this bizarre Entropy Wall!"

"Based on my deduction, this Entropy Wall must have been set by the legendary Entropy Civilization, and from its operating principles, it should be based on Information Control Technology at its core, integrated with Entropy Technology. This can be observed from the process of change in life on the just-mentioned Civilization Planets, which followed a certain pattern of informational changes."

"Entropy Civilization? The one that created the Entropy Beast?"

"Correct, both the Entropy Beast and the Entropy Wall in front of us are centered around entropy values, so the truth is clear. But with our level of technology, we simply have no way to counter information control and deprivation of entropy. This is a level of technology that only a Level 5 Civilization would possess. Nevertheless, we can't just sit and wait for death. I suggest we launch some weapons to try and find any vulnerabilities or operational patterns in the Entropy Wall!"

After a brief exchange, a Level 4 Civilization decided to launch weapons to try.

One after another, physical missiles, energy weapons, and spatial weapons were fired at the Entropy Wall, but unfortunately, none of them worked. All were swallowed by the Entropy Wall without exception and had their entropy reduction reversed. Although these substances were inanimate, the changes they underwent, created by civilization, were processes transitioning from entropy reduction to entropy increase.

Later on, this Level 4 Civilization tried several more waves of attacks, each stronger than the last, but the outcomes were the same as the first, ending in failure. With no other options, the Level 4 Civilization could only change strategies, electing to move along the periphery of the Entropy Wall in search of other vulnerabilities or an endpoint. It was like a person needing to cross a river without a boat, so he proceeded upstream along the riverbank, hoping to find a bridge or reach the source to cross over. Although this method seemed naive, it was still better than waiting for death, so the Level 4 Civilization had no other choice.

Other Level 4 Civilizations also observed this situation.

Therefore, they also didn't plan to waste any more energy trying, and chose to follow the Level 4 Civilization ahead. However, a portion of civilizations headed in the opposite direction. Despite their different directions, their goal was the same: to find the source of the Entropy Wall or breaches in other locations.

They didn't believe the Entropy Wall could cover the entire Cosmic Zone, could it?

Just like that, batches of Level 4 Civilizations moved along the periphery of the Entropy Wall, and no one knew how long they had been advancing when they suddenly encountered a peculiar civilization.

This civilization was situated within a vast nebula, which was enveloped by a faint glow, seemingly completely isolating the nebula from the external matter. Moreover, most strangely, the rotation and revolution of all planets and stars within the nebula were entirely opposite to that of normal celestial bodies, even the spin direction of the nebula itself was reversed.

Such a situation was extremely rare in the universe.

Because even if celestial bodies with reverse motion existed, they would only be a single planet or similar, but for an entire nebula to be reversed like this could only suggest one reason: all the matter comprising this nebula was Anti-matter, and that's why such a consistently opposite characteristic was observable on a macroscopic level.

These Level 4 Civilizations had been in a rush to escape and perhaps were unaware that this Antimatter Nebula was, in fact, the headquarters of a Level 5 Civilization, the Antimatter Civilization. Due to the lack of intelligence on the Antimatter Civilization, these Level 4 Civilizations even initiated contact with the Antimatter Civilization, seeking to exchange information on how to penetrate the Entropy Wall and enter the Cosmic Zone Universe.

However, what they received in return was the ruthless attack of the Antimatter Civilization.

A transparent spatial membrane was seen expanding directionally, and before those Level 4 Civilizations could react, the Antimatter Domain had successfully hit them, erasing them from the universe in an instant.

After eradicating some pesky flies, the Antimatter Civilization did not experience much turmoil but continued heading towards the Cosmic Zone Universe. It was unknown what technology the Antimatter Civilization used, but when faced with the restraint of the Entropy Wall, they easily cut through a massive breach and then flew into the Cosmic Zone Universe through it.

Through the breach, it was seen that the interior of the Cosmic Zone Universe was actually filled with radiance, not just darkness and nothingness!

After entering the Cosmic Zone Universe, the Antimatter Civilization began a meticulous search for any sign of the Entropy Civilization, which was the main objective of their journey.

Having experienced the destruction of the Anti-molecule star fleet, the internal rage within the Antimatter Civilization escalated. They vowed to avenge their fallen Anti-molecule comrades and uphold the dignity of a Level 5 Civilization. However, the initial target of the Antimatter Civilization was not the Wandering Alliance, as the main reason for the Anti-molecule star fleet's demise was the Entropy Tree. The Antimatter Civilization determined that the Entropy Tree must be connected to the Entropy Civilization, the secretive enemy playing them from behind, so if they were to seek revenge, they definitely had to pinpoint the mastermind.

Of course, this is not to say that the Antimatter Civilization would let the Wandering Alliance off the hook. No matter what, the Wandering Alliance had destroyed the command Battle Star of the Anti-molecule fleet, and this vengeance the Antimatter Civilization was certainly going to exact. Hence, both the Wandering Alliance and the Entropy Civilization were listed by the Antimatter Civilization as dangerous enemies that must be eliminated. However, because the Entropy Civilization was the mastermind behind the scenes, and with even greater strength, it became the initial target of the Antimatter Civilization. After all, if the Entropy Civilization, this mastermind, were to be eradicated, and no civilization could interfere, then when they targeted the Wandering Alliance again, there would be no civilizations capable of meddling secretly as before.

This was also one of the reasons why the Antimatter Civilization focused on the Entropy Civilization first.

It's like a hitman wanting to kill a person but repeatedly being thwarted, naturally, the hitman would consider eliminating the mastermind first.
