CHAPTER 440: CHAPTER 439 HEAVENLY NEBULA

Dark Universe, resplendent with light.

A super nebula spanning tens of thousands of light-years floats within the Universe.

This nebula is incredibly grand and vast, with waves rolling open and closed, no end visible at a glance. Within the colossal nebula, due to the clever combination of giant hydrogen molecules and microscopic particles and the miraculous refraction of light, an interweaving convergence forms countless Heavenly Palace Immortal Ques; together with the emitted brilliant light from within, the entire nebula appears as if it were filled with layered and stacked Immortal Heavenly Court and Angel Kingdoms, seemingly a celestial realm drifting in the endless Universe.

Therefore, this super nebula is known as the Heavenly Court Nebula or Heavenly Nebula, shrouded in a mysterious aura.

In the vicinity of the Heavenly Nebula, two civilization alliances stood coldly against each other, having confronted each other for an extended period. Ever since the discovery of the Heavenly Nebula, they had been at a standoff to prevent the other from plundering and absorbing it. It can be said that due to the mutual restraint of these two civilization alliances, the Heavenly Nebula has survived to this day.

These two civilization alliances are none other than the Bose Alliance and the Fermi Alliance.

For both civilizational alliances, the Heavenly Nebula is deemed their wealth, absolutely not to be touched by the other. Any attempts to make a move would be obstructed by the other, a situation kind of like an escalated version of the previous conflict between the Desert Sea Civilization and the Forest Sea Civilization over the Anti-Neutron Star; one must defeat the other to successfully plunder and absorb this incredibly vast Heavenly Nebula.

According to calculations by scientists from both sides, the Heavenly Nebula spans tens of thousands of light-years, even more massive than their own composed galaxies, and is conservatively estimated to possess a mass of at least a hundred million Constant Star Masses. If it could be absorbed successfully, it would provide substantial confidence in facing the crisis of the Universe’s halt in expansion. Moreover, since both parties are arch-enemies, they are unyielding about the ownership of the Heavenly Nebula!

However, during the standoff period, the Desert Sea Civilization and the Forest Sea Civilization, responsible for outer security patrols, encountered an accident.

At first, the Desert Sea Civilization and the Forest Sea Civilization only discovered the Anti-Neutron Star. Therefore, the two civilization alliances sent them to capture it, but unexpectedly, both civilizations discovered each other when approaching the Anti-Neutron Star. At that moment, the attitudes of the two civilization alliances became very tough, demanding that they seize the Anti-Neutron Star from each other.

After the orders were issued, both civilization alliances then awaited good news from their subordinates. However, what they eventually received was an abrupt communication breakdown.

Initially, both civilization alliances speculated wildly about the cause of the communication breakdown. But as they received the distress messages from the Desert Sea and Forest Sea Civilizations again, they came to know it was the battle between the two that triggered the Anti-Neutron Star’s starquake and annihilation explosion. Now, both the Desert Sea and Forest Sea Civilizations have suffered heavy losses and are requesting support.

Originally, the Bose Alliance and the Fermi Alliance planned to gather more intelligence before dispatching the Battle Star for rescue.

But what the Bose Alliance and the Fermi Alliance never anticipated was that, while communicating with their survivors at a critical moment, these survivors were suddenly attacked, leading to another communication blackout. Regardless of their efforts, they couldn’t re-establish contact with the survivors. Except for the final piercing noise in the communicator, there was no more sound, and neither the Bose Alliance nor the Fermi Alliance knew who attacked their survivors.

However, although neither knew for sure, they were both very certain in their guess that it must have been the other’s doing.

Because in that place, other than the Desert Sea Civilization, it’s the Forest Sea Civilization; no other civilizations exist. Moreover, as the two were arch-enemies, they would never share intelligence or believe in the other’s lies. Thus, they naturally assumed that the other party’s losses in the explosion could not have been so severe, and so when their survivors tried to contact headquarters for help, they launched an extermination strike right away.

This incident once again intensified the already stand-offish seizure between the Bose Alliance and the Fermi Alliance, with both sides suddenly on a knife-edge!

"Bose Civilization, you are utterly disgraceful. The Anti-Neutron Star is gone, yet you still launched a sneak attack on our Desert Sea Civilization’s survivors. Our Fermi Alliance will never forget today’s incident!"

"Nonsense! It was clearly you who sneaked an attack on our Forest Sea Civilization’s survivors, and now you play innocent? Do you think such a thief-shouting-catch-a-thief trick can fool our Bose Alliance? Too naive. We’ve competed for endless eons; do you think we don’t know what you’re like?"

"Bose Civilization, have you no shame? If you dare slander or insult our Fermi Alliance one more time, we will make you pay dearly in blood!"

"Ha, who are you trying to scare? Do you think our Bose Alliance would be threatened by you? Besides, which of our statements isn’t fact? You attacking our Bose Alliance is not the first time. When you act, you dare to do so; after acting, do you still want to play the chastity arch? Ridiculous. Don’t forget, not long ago, you staged a sneak attack on our Bose No. 1 Battle Star, causing us grave losses."

"Stop spouting bullshit. If we attacked you, wasn’t it because you attacked us first! Back then, our Fermi Alliance first discovered the existence of primitive civilizations in the Heavenly Nebula, so we rescued a civilization. Yet your Bose Civilization, heartless and cruel, actually attacked our Fermi No. 10 Battle Star that was escorting them and massacred all the primitive civilizations. Your actions are no different from that of animals!"

"Fermi Civilization, I advise you to watch your words. Our glorious Bose Alliance is not to be insulted by you. Moreover, is that your so-called rescue of the Heavenly Nebula’s native civilizations? You clearly forced and coerced the indigenous civilizations, wanting to use the name of native civilizations to claim the entire Heavenly Nebula for yourselves. Our Bose Alliance will never let your evil schemes succeed. As for the death of those native civilizations, it was an accident of war, not something we wished to see. On the contrary, you attacked our Bose No. 1 Battle Star cruelly to prevent us from saving the Heavenly Nebula’s native civilizations, and even massacred those we rescued!"

"Do you Bose Civilization still want face, with such double standards? The same actions, we’re portrayed as coercion, and you as rescue? Laughable. Besides, if you start something, don’t blame us for responding in kind. This time our Desert Sea Civilization’s survivors were attacked, you must give us an explanation!"

"You Fermi Civilization are really full of lies. Enough with the nonsense. Today, if you don’t give us an explanation, we will not let this go!"

"..."

With the fierce and pointed dialogue between the two civilization alliances, a piece of history was gradually coming to light.
