"We don't yet know whether dark energy comes from the sky or from under the water, because the up and down comes from our sense of direction in three-dimensional life. But it does not exist in the real universe. It can affect the real universe through the membrane that separates each dimension."

"The more likely theory is that it comes from underwater, from the inside of this ball, and it is constantly expanding, causing the accelerated expansion of the universe."

Abaddon swiped his two paws down, and two more screens appeared, representing the primary Psionics theory and the advanced Psionics theory.

"This galaxy's Psionics breaks too many physical laws. It not only embodies the characteristics of energy, but also possesses some of the characteristics of matter. It's like magic made out of nothing."

"But through these two theories, everything can be explained. I can be 100% sure that Psionics is the projection of dark energy in other dimensions in the current material universe."

"The membrane of this galaxy is very thin and can be deeply affected by other dimensions. This shows that this galaxy is extremely dangerous, and it also shows that the research value of Shroud is huge."

"There is not yet enough evidence to prove that the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way is Shroud itself, but the two should be closely connected. Whether this is an attempt by other dimensions to have more influence on the real universe, the possibility is very high."

"So, Overmind, your fear of Shroud is very correct. Your mental power is as vast and powerful as the sea of stars, and your intuition is generally correct."

"I think there are too many lives in this galaxy, and the Psionics sea formed by their spiritual power is pulling at the dimension of dark energy all the time. This makes things in that dimension have delusions about the real universe, making them want to use Shroud as a springboard to influence or be able to step through the membrane into the real universe."

Abaddon was very serious. This time he did not write or draw anymore, but looked at Zhang Han seriously, "Great Overmind, this situation is very dangerous. I don't know the existence of the dark energy dimension, and whether I know the risks of doing so, but I can calculate the worst consequences."

He dragged the ball that symbolized the world with one hand, and then stabbed it in with the other sharp jointed limb. With a bang, the ball model exploded.

"The existence of the membrane maintains balance, and breaking the membrane is never allowed. Of course, the universe will not be so fragile that it explodes like a balloon, but it will be a terrible, constantly bleeding wound."

"This wound is not just as simple as making space two-dimensional or low-dimensional, it will affect the cosmological constant..."

"Our universe is very delicate. Behind any simple mathematical formula are complex cosmological constants. These cosmological constants affect the birth and death of all things. The cosmological constants of other dimensions must be different from our universe, and their integration may destroy both parties..."

Zhang Han, who had been silent for a long time, spoke, "So where is the location of Shroud? Is it the dimension where dark energy is located?"

"No, it would be nice if it was in that dimension. Then it would be safe and it would be difficult to affect the real universe like this. It... it is already in the gap of the membrane, more like a channel leading to both sides."

After listening to Abaddon's explanation, Zhang Han felt that his heart became much heavier. This galaxy was so much more dangerous than he imagined.

"So, should I lead Swarm away? If a hole is blasted in the dimensional membrane of the universe, the farther we are from the explosion point, the safer it will be, right?" asked the worried Zhang Han.

Abaddon fell silent. His pairs of abdominal limbs were brought together in front of him, and his fingers kept tapping each other, thinking about the pros and cons.

After waiting for a long time, Zhang Han was about to lose his composure and wanted to feel his thoughts, when Abaddon spoke.

"Great Overmind, it is indeed safer to leave, but this is not in line with the ultimate goal of Swarm - to evolve to a higher place. There is currently a lack of too much information, and I cannot give foolproof advice."

"Swarm's technology has been at the peak of level 3 civilization for tens of millions of years. The development of technology is becoming increasingly difficult. It can make explosive progress at first, but the more it develops, the harder it becomes. In some areas, there is no direction for breakthroughs, such as the singularity."

Abaddon bowed down, "Crisis is also an opportunity. This is an opportunity for Swarm to break through the dimension. As long as we handle it properly, we can establish the mathematical equations of the material universe and the dark energy dimension. Swarm who breaks through the dimensional restrictions will become a level four civilization."

"The matter and energy that each universe can utilize can be roughly calculated, but when it transcends one dimension, how many resources can Swarm use? This is a new possibility, infinite possibilities."

"Great Overmind, your will is the direction of Swarm, but I beg you not to give up so simply. Research and evolution are accompanied by risks, but I think this risk is worth taking."

Swarm Consume The purpose of the starry sky is to continuously evolve, continuously acquire knowledge, and allow civilization to reach a higher level. Abaddon's words made it difficult for Zhang Han to make a choice. He sunk his energy into Swarm Network, wanting to experience the entire Swarm choice.

"The will of Overmind is the direction of Swarm."

"Swarm's goal is for Consume and evolution. Swarm is not afraid of death."

"Water, air, biomass, energy, Swarm can all be used Consume..."

"Knowledge... knowledge is the key to evolution and the truth of the universe."

"If the end point of evolution is death, Swarm will continue to charge towards this end point."

... Countless similar thoughts surround the consciousness of Zhang Han like stars.

Yes, Swarm is a race that is fearless and lives toward death. How could he give up the possibility of evolution just because of a little risk?

"I agree with you, Abaddon, but the research on Shroud and Psionics must be done carefully and carefully to minimize risks."

A happy look appeared on Abaddon's indescribable face, "I will, at least now I can conclude that as long as we continue Consume this galaxy and shield Shroud's influence on the real universe, the situation will not get worse."

"The depth of Shroud is driven by the spiritual power of a large number of intelligent life forms. Just like gravity, it is a passive pull, so it must be effective to eliminate a large number of intelligent life forms."

"What we need to do is either kill a large number of intelligent life forms, or integrate them into our network and turn them into our strength against Shroud."

"In addition, in order to better study Shroud, I need some help from one of the smartest and wisest Zerg legends." Abaddon said while rubbing his hands, looking like a scientific researcher asking for funds.

Looking at Abaddon's appearance, Zhang Han instantly thought of the name of a Swarm hero in the Swarm database. No, no, no, it is not appropriate to describe him as an ordinary Swarm hero. He is the founder of Swarm and the legend of Swarm.

"The original source of wisdom, the genetic template of all Cerebrate, the original insect that masters all knowledge, the demon insect Laplace."

Zhang Han and Abaddon said in unison.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Han would definitely curl his lips if he had a face. To incubate and awaken such a legendary Zerg requires a huge amount of energy.

Using the body of Overmind as the unit of measurement, three Overmind bodies need to be hatched to be able to awaken Laplace with confidence.
