Faced with the "Mass Storm" that could drive any physical universe to despair, Nuwa let out a soft sigh.
What disgusted her was not the power of the attack.
It was that this method of attack was simply... too "dirty."
Like a peerless chess master playing a game, only for the opponent to flip the board and grab a chair to smash at them.
It had no aesthetic beauty, only savage and primitive violence.
If the previous "Causality Erasure Beam" had still carried a trace of mystery that piqued her interest, then these three million neutron-star-matter warheads were nothing but pure, unreasonable "smashing."
Chen Ran's will also turned solemn.
"Holy Mother Empress, be careful! This isn't an ordinary attack. Every warhead contains the mass of a miniature neutron star. Once they strike the Primordial World's crystal wall system, the resulting chain reaction will be enough to tear the entire world apart!"
Through the system's analysis, he instantly understood the terror of this attack.
After discovering that conceptual attacks were ineffective, the Gestalt civilization immediately changed its approach. No longer did they attempt to understand Nuwa; instead, they chose the most overbearing method possible, seeking to destroy Nuwa along with the space she occupied.
What they wanted was not to kill Nuwa.
They wanted to completely format this "anomalous region" at the physical level.
Three million near-light-speed neutron star warheads descended upon the Primordial World like a forest of death.
Everyone in the human fleet felt suffocated.
Before that horrifying mass, their warships and mechs were as fragile as eggshells.
Yet Nuwa made a move none of them had expected.
She neither chose to withstand it head-on nor to evade it.
She merely slowly opened her palm.
In her palm lay a tiny seed, quietly emitting a faint green glow.
The seed appeared utterly ordinary, like the most common grass seed by the roadside.
But the moment it appeared, the surrounding chaotic energy seemed to find its home and surged toward it.
"Go."
Nuwa spoke softly.
She released her hand, and the seed drifted out, floating toward the oncoming storm of steel.
One seed against three million neutron stars.
The sight was absurd beyond measure.
Aboard the Civilization, the Three Sovereigns and the others were completely unable to comprehend it. Had the Holy Mother Empress... given up?
Even Chen Ran was somewhat baffled. He knew Nuwa must have a way to deal with it, but he could not imagine what a single seed could do.
Then, in the next instant.
Myth descended.
Just before the seed touched the first neutron-star warhead, it suddenly burst forth with boundless vitality.
It sprouted.
In this chaotic void where even light could not remain, it pushed out a tender green shoot.
Immediately afterward, its roots plunged into nothingness.
Its stalk began growing wildly at a speed that defied every law of life!
One foot, ten feet, a hundred feet, a thousand feet!
In the blink of an eye, an azure lotus that reached heaven and earth bloomed proudly within the chaos!
This green lotus was unimaginably vast. Every one of its leaves was like a vast world, while Dao runes flowed across its lotus throne and three thousand laws revolved around it.
The aura of creation filled the entire chaos.
This was a lotus seed from Nuwa's accompanying supreme treasure, the Chaos Green Lotus. Nurtured by her supreme Great Dao of Creation, it recreated a trace of the divine bearing of Pangu's accompanying supreme treasure from that ancient time!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three million neutron-star warheads all struck the heaven-reaching Chaos Green Lotus without exception.
Yet the earth-shattering explosion everyone had expected never came.
The warheads containing terrifying mass became like objects crashing into an extremely soft yet resilient sponge the instant they struck the green lotus.
Their speed was rapidly dissipated.
All the kinetic energy they contained was absorbed by the lotus leaves.
Even stranger, the material structures of those warheads, formed from ultradense neutron-star-core matter, began changing the moment they came into contact with the green lotus.
Those cold, lifeless metals that represented the endpoint of matter actually... began to "come alive."
They were assimilated, broken down, and transformed by the green lotus's aura of creation.
In the end, they became the purest nutrients and were absorbed by the green lotus's roots.
The "Mass Storm" formed from three million neutron-star warheads could not even make a single leaf of the green lotus sway before it was devoured cleanly as "fertilizer."
After eating its fill, the Chaos Green Lotus seemed still unsatisfied as it swayed once, the sheen on its leaves becoming even more verdant.
Inside the diamond-shaped warship.
The Gestalt's collective consciousness completely crashed.
If the failure of the first attack had left them "confused,"
then this time was a complete, incomprehensible collapse of their worldview.
[The target... created a... plant?] [The plant... absorbed 3.6 million units of "Mass Storm" attack.] [Scanning plant composition... failed. Data overflow.] [Scanning plant growth principles... failed. Violates the laws of thermodynamics, violates the law of conservation of mass-energy, violates all known physical laws.] [Error.] [Logical error.] [Cognitive model has undergone structural collapse.] [Requesting... judgment from the Supreme Directive.]
The Gestalt fleet, this steel calamity that had run rampant through the universe and formatted countless civilizations, sent a distress signal to its mother body for the first time.
Because they had discovered that what they faced was not an enemy that could be understood at all.
It was a mythical being capable of placing the most fragile concept of "life" above "physical laws."
Their technology, their weapons, and their logic were like children's toys before this mythical being.
"How does it feel?"
Chen Ran's will carried a hint of teasing within Nuwa's Nascent Soul.
"Aren't these tin cans quite amusing?"
Nuwa said nothing. She merely raised a delicate hand.
The heaven-reaching Chaos Green Lotus rapidly shrank, finally turning into a streak of green light that flew back into her hand and vanished.
She raised her head, her cold gaze seeming to pierce endless space as it met the central core of that diamond-shaped warship.
This time, it was her turn to make the first move.
