CHAPTER 535: CHAPTER 534: TWIN BLACK HOLES

The vast Universe was no longer at peace.

With the impact of the expansion wave reverberating throughout the Cosmic Zone, the zone suddenly became a place of turmoil and pervasive crisis.

The abundance of matter within the zone also began to move rapidly under the influence of Gravity, forming one spectacular interstellar phenomenon after another.

Such an unprecedented spectacle may not have even been witnessed by a Level 5 civilization, because this was the first time such a phenomenon had occurred since the birth of the Universe.

Although the Antimatter Civilization was a Level 5 civilization, they had never seen this phenomenon. When they discovered that the interstellar material in the surrounding space began to flow rapidly, and all in the same direction, the Antimatter Civilization engaged in surprised discussions.

"What’s going on? Why is there such a large-scale movement of material in space all of a sudden? Did something happen?"

"Could it be the result of the expansion wave reaching the Cosmic Zone?"

"It doesn’t seem like it. The expansion wave is a contraction from the edge of the Universe towards the Cosmic Center. How could it cause the matter to flow in a specific direction?"

"I didn’t feel it before, but now looking at these rich streams of matter, it feels as though we are in the middle of an infinite cosmic ocean!"

"What about the detection department? Have they discovered any intelligence?"

"Unfortunately, due to the source being way beyond the range of our detection devices, we cannot ascertain the specific situation at its origin. However, according to our detections, the direction of the material flow is influenced by a very strong Gravity, and it is this gravity that is causing such a large-scale flow of material!"

"It’s not just a large-scale movement; almost all the matter within the entire Cosmic Zone has been affected. Even the most powerful gravity of a Black Hole, to expand its gravitational influence to such a vast range, would require an astronomical amount of mass. Could it be that there is a super, supermassive Black Hole within the Cosmic Zone?"

"Based on the current intelligence, it’s very likely. What should we do next? Should we continue to search for the Wandering Alliance, or should we follow this direction and check out the source?"

"We’ve been searching for a while but have not found any trace of the Wandering Alliance. Perhaps they have already been annihilated by another Level 5 civilization. Now, with the Cosmic Crisis looming, let’s first see what’s causing this scale of impact. I have an intuition that this matter is far from simple!"

After an agreement, the Antimatter Civilization immediately changed course, heading in the direction of the moving matter.

To save time, the Antimatter Civilization did not fly there but initiated their Jump Engine. In an instant, the entire enormous Antimatter Nebula disappeared from the scene.

However, since the exact coordinates of the source were unknown, the Antimatter Civilization could only makes short range transmissions and jumps based on their own calculated coordinates. Finally, after three corrections to their coordinates, they successfully used the Jump Engine to arrive at the source of the material flow.

But when they saw the situation at the scene, the entire Antimatter Civilization was collectively astounded!

In front of them, within a range of over a billion light-years, was filled with large quantities of high-density interstellar material. This material, rubbing against each other and sinking, spiraled towards the center and plummeted down. What was beyond the Antimatter Civilization’s expectations was the situation at the center. They had initially thought that a super, supermassive Black Hole was causing this phenomenon, but to their utter surprise, there were actually two super, supermassive Black Holes at the center!

One of the Black Holes was larger in diameter, while the other was smaller.

However, even the smaller of the two Black Holes was a super colossus in the Universe, comparable to any giant nebula, at least millions of times larger than an ordinary Black Hole. In this Universe, it was unlikely there could be any Black Holes bigger than these two.

At that moment, the two super, supermassive Black Holes were rapidly rotating around each other. They seemed to have formed a delicate balance, creating a binary Black Hole system. Strangely, unlike most binary Black Hole systems that slowly converge and merge, these two Black Holes showed no tendency to merge. It was as if they were battling using their gravitational forces.

The high-density material, gathered from over a billion light-years around, forming an Accretion Disk, made the entire scene resemble a super-sized Quasar. Although the Antimatter Civilization had seen countless quasars and even destroyed many, they honestly had never seen a quasar with binary Black Holes at its core, nor one as immense as a billion light-years across.

"There really are two supermassive Black Holes; no wonder they caused such a stir! It seems like there are two civilizations behind these Black Holes. I wonder why they are fighting?"

"Report, we have discovered some Planet Battle Stars around the smaller Black Hole. Based on their appearance and weapons, those Planet Battle Stars appear to be from the Wandering Alliance, and the supermassive Black Hole they are orbiting should be their leader!"

"Just when you least expect it, we finally found the Wandering Alliance we’ve been searching for so long. Immediately proceed with further detection to assess the current combat strength of the Wandering Alliance, and we must clarify why they are fiercely vying for interstellar material. There must be a special reason behind this!"

"......"

Following the orders, the Antimatter Civilization immediately embarked on extensive research.

Prior to this, the Antimatter Civilization had always been researching ways to escape the Universe. Although no method had yet been found, as a Level 5 civilization, they had not easily given up hope.

Now, their perseverance seemed to be seeing the dawn of a breakthrough. Seeing the Black Hole Lu Chen and the Black Hole Civilization fighting each other and competing for surrounding matter, their experienced Level 5 civilization quickly surmised that the two Black Holes would eventually merge into an even larger Black Hole, which would continue to absorb material from the Universe. Once all matter was depleted, the powerful gravity of this Black Hole would even start to devour Cosmic Space, eventually turning the dying Universe into the Black Hole’s food...

With this realization, the question that had long plagued the scientific community of the Antimatter Civilization seemed to unravel at once!

Previously, they had also been researching what exactly a White Hole on the other side of a Black Hole would be like. Now, seeing the two supermassive Black Holes engage in a brutal fight, they suddenly understood and unraveled the mystery of White Holes that had puzzled them for so long. They even felt a bit of self-loathing at that moment; how could they have not thought of such a simple principle before?

However, it must be said, the Antimatter Civilization truly deserved to be a veteran Level 5 civilization. Although they had once hit a dead end, with the inspiration from the battle between the Wandering Alliance and the Black Hole Civilization, their scientists quickly came up with the Cosmic Cycle Theory, and based on that theory, they discovered the method to escape the Universe. They also realized why the Wandering Alliance and the Black Hole Civilization were abnormally competing for matter!
