Distance manipulation was when Lan Mu and Bastet shortened the distance between themselves and other galaxies. In the process of moving, it was as if they were crossing extremely far distances at superluminal speed.
For example, Lan Mu was one meter away from A, one meter away from B, and 10,000 meters away from AB. Thus, regardless of whether Lan Mu went to A or B, he crossed 10,000 meters in the time it took him to cross one meter from AB.
However, this superluminal speed was based on an individual's relative distance anomaly. The distance between two galaxies didn't change. It was only when Lan Mu's distance was shortened that he could travel at superluminal speed.
However, Lan Mu now had an enemy with the same ability. In order to restrict Lan Mu's speed, Bastet directly manipulated Lan Mu's distance and shortened the distance between him and the entire M87. This would cause Lan Mu to lose his distance advantage and reduce his speed back to light speed.
At the same time, Lan Mu was doing the same thing to restrain Bast.
In the subtle confrontation between the two, they messed up the relative positions of countless coordinate systems. This caused the M87 nebula and many other observable nebulas in the starry sky to suffer.
The Draco nebula was only the first. Following that, three other nebulas approached the M87, with the closest one being one light-day away.
The distance of one light-day was nothing to a galaxy … The gravitational fields had already covered each other, and the celestial bodies at the edge of the Star Zone were being torn apart horribly.
At this moment, the M87 was equivalent to being surrounded by four galaxies. Although it was the largest, it couldn't withstand the pulling force of the four galaxies and was likely to be torn apart. Of course, this process would take a long time.
In this regard, the advanced civilizations of the five river systems were helpless.
When they learned that this was a phenomenon caused by the civil war of the Creator's civilization, they instantly felt despair and sorrow.
Everyone knew about the Creator's civilization. Based on the huge incident back then, the commotion this time was considered small.
Regarding this, they could only silently hope that this battle would end quickly. Only then could the abnormality be corrected. The longer this dragged on, the more miserable they would be.
Other than doing their best to stabilize the situation, they had no other choice.
Gradually, more and more unlucky civilizations joined the ranks of the unlucky ones.
As the battle progressed, the dazzling river system on the starry sky background suddenly appeared near the Messier 87.
Those distant stars were no longer out of reach. When he raised his head, what he saw was no longer a starry sky, but a dazzling light.
They were too close. The Messier 87 was completely surrounded, and the number of river systems nearby slowly broke through the tens and hundreds.
Low-leveled civilizations could no longer survive. Just the multiple layers of the gravitational field, or the multiple tearing forces, were enough to bring about the end of civilizations below level 4.
Very soon, this area was really a cluster of galaxies. Hundreds of galaxies were entangled together and began to form a sphere, becoming indistinguishable from each other.
Now that the situation had developed to this point, it was like 'when the immortals fight, all living beings suffer'.
…
"It doesn't feel good, does it? Your will won't be stronger, but my demonic nature will be stronger! "
As long as Bastet's body was in contact with Lan Mu, he would be able to let his demonic nature corrode Lan Mu's heart.
After fighting for so long, Bastet had repeatedly gotten close to Lan Mu. Even though Lan Mu kept sending Bastet flying, he could no longer resist this intermittent corrosion.
Every time he was corroded, Lan Mu could clearly feel that the demonic nature was more powerful than the previous time.
This was Bastet's most effective method to deal with Lan Mu. Sooner or later, he would be able to turn Lan Mu into his puppet.
As for Lan Mu, he was gradually unable to break free from Bastet's entanglement. He could only use his divine light to brush Bastet away and interrupt the demonic nature's invasion.
Other than that, he also opened several entrances to the Ruins of the Abyss in the Messier 87 and used more than ten methods to force Bastet to enter.
For example, when Bastet grabbed Lan Mu and was being corroded by the demonic nature, Lan Mu changed the distance between himself and the Ruins of the Abyss to zero and brought Bastet close to the Ruins of the Abyss.
However, the effect was barely satisfactory. Bastet was no longer the original Bastet. His strength was on the same level as Lan Mu's. He pulled away in the nick of time and used his ghost hook ability to pull Lan Mu out, leaving Lan Mu with no way to deal with him.
Basically, as long as Bastet did not want to, Lan Mu would not be able to let him enter. Even Lan Mu himself found it difficult to enter.
Whether it was the Five-Colored Divine Light or the Ruins of the Abyss, Bastet could avoid these two information layers. Lan Mu could not use the Life Sphere to capture Bastet.
In comparison, Bastet's chances of winning were much higher. He was almost successful. His demonic nature was monstrous. If he continued to pester Lan Mu, it would not be long before he was defeated.
"I can't think straight … At this time, he has the upper hand. He should be careless …"
It was not that Lan Mu did not have a way, but that method only had one chance. If he failed, with Bastet's shrewdness, he would not have a second chance.
This was also the reason why he had not used it until now.
He wanted to wait for Bastet's proudest moment.
"Lan Mu, you're too slow. Your thoughts are probably starting to get messed up, right? I'm very curious. Why aren't you running? I'm afraid you're still scheming against me, right? You still think you have a chance of winning, don't you? "Bastet's mouth curved into a crescent moon as he laughed.
Lan Mu's face was filled with shock as he looked at him in despair.
Bastet said, "I know your ability. If you really want to run, you can go anywhere in the countless universes. Even if I superimpose Hook's ability, you can still break through it. Why aren't you running? Why are you still going to fight me to the death? "
Of course, it was easy to run. Whether Lan Mu hid himself and escaped to another universe, another timeline, or into the Abyss, he could easily avoid the battle.
In theory, if Bastet wanted to kill Lan Mu, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Lan Mu could delay for many years.
However, Lan Mu also knew that delaying was useless. The end of the line was true despair.
He had to defeat Bastet. He could not lose, and he could not draw.
Otherwise, if he hid this time, where could he hide when the Executor appeared?
Lan Mu forced a smile. "I've never … chosen to live."
"It's not that you don't want to, but that you can't?" Bastet looked at Lan Mu with pity. This expression was also mocking.
He was confident that victory was in his hands. No matter what Lan Mu was planning, he was confident that he could see through it.
With another grab, Bastet pulled Lan Mu in front of him, and his demonic aura invaded.
"If you don't run, you'll definitely lose!" Bastet said.
However, Lan Mu resisted with all his might. At the same time, he asked, "You said that this timeline is about to be destroyed. You can't just say that casually, right? Whether I win or lose is meaningless, right? "
Bastet frowned and finally said, "Of course it's meaningless. You won't even see the Executor."
"Oh?" Lan Mu's eyes were weak.
Bastet shook his head. "I said that the Executor superimposed the dimensional information of destruction onto Bastet's metal. I don't know how many there are in the third dimension. You and I have seen countless copies of the information after the dimensional destruction, but they're all from the same dimension. They're just separated into countless timelines. Every timeline is a possible split from the original dimension. Different timelines have the same level of dimension, so when they're destroyed, it's the same as deleting a dimension. "
Lan Mu immediately understood. When he created the lower dimensions, he didn't set the concept of timelines. Therefore, the destruction of a dimension was the destruction of a dimension. However, the third dimension had infinite timelines. Every timeline was actually equivalent to a third dimension. The feeling of returning to silence when the third dimension was destroyed was of the dimensional level.
Bast said, "Every timeline has me, and also you. I once asked the Executor why he had to back up this information. The Executor told me that every piece of Bastet's metal represents an ending. It's commemorating an enemy it's never met. "
Lan Mu's pupils shrank.
Bastet continued, "At first, I didn't understand this, but when you said that the Executor was your enemy, I understood."
"There are already countless versions of you who are challenging the supreme will. Even though you've never met, you all know each other. Even now, under the countless possibilities of the timelines, everything has been destroyed before you've even met the Executor. "
"I don't know when the ending is. But it must be before you meet the Executor … "
"Do you understand? You've spent so much effort to prepare for the battle in the future, but in reality, in the endless possibilities, there's never been a version of you who's reached that moment. "
"When the timeline is destroyed, your thoughts at this moment are nothing more than an illusion."
