Immediately afterwards, countless colorful "mysterious spheres" separated from the dark planet Gransphia.
They possess their own independent will, yet they all belong to a part of the dark planet Gransphia.
They were once ancient humans, but now they are an undead group wandering the cosmos.
When they possessed the matter stripped from the dark planet Gransphia, Sphia chimeras were born.
howl!
A silent roar echoed across the starry sky, and a ferocious form differentiated and took shape.
Each of the Spyia chimeras possessed a different form and different abilities, charging into the deeper parts of the Oort Cloud region like an army.
.....................................................................................................................
Rumble…
It was clear that the Dark Planet Gransphia had already activated its attack mode.
As the mastermind behind the entire Oort cloud spacetime closed curvature system, Sophon could not possibly remain indifferent.
Almost at the same time that the Specia chimera army rushed into the Oort Cloud region, the billions of comets also seemed to come alive.
Bang!
The first Sphia chimera to approach the Oort Cloud region was directly blown up by one of the exploding comets.
However, this was only the beginning. The exploded comet did not fall apart; instead, it reassembled under the influence of some unknown force.
Roar!
Just like those Spyia chimeras.
The comet, after reassembling, had transformed into a colossal mechanical beast with a distinctly mechanical appearance.
These mechanical beasts, made of comet matter, are jet black overall, except that their bodies are covered with a kind of eerie green "mechanical pattern".
Those eerie green "mechanical patterns" are both the energy source for the mechanical beast and the key to its survival.
Because those dark green "mechanical patterns" are actually tiny factories at the nanoscale.
The occasional flashes of light on the mechanical beasts are proof that these mechanical factories are constantly transporting energy and expanding themselves.
Of course, if that were all, Lu Xuan wouldn't have gone so far as to deploy these things, which are essentially "space-based drones," to the Oort Cloud region as the first line of defense.
What makes these mechanical beasts truly terrifying is their astonishing ability to replicate and learn.
Click!
Ignore the struggles of the Spyia chimera.
The cold-blooded and ruthless mechanical beast gripped the body of the Spyia chimera tightly and began to rapidly decompose and assimilate its body components.
In less than a breath, the Sphia chimera under the mechanical beast's command stopped struggling.
Meanwhile, streaks of eerie green "mechanical patterns" had unknowingly spread from the mechanical beast to the Sphia chimera.
Not to mention the high-density material separated from the dark planet Gransfia.
Even the light sphere inside the Specia chimera couldn't escape the invasion and assimilation of the mechanical beasts, and completely became one of them.
Therefore, by the time the other Sphiar chimeras realized the danger, many of their kind had already turned against them.
Those individuals covered in eerie green "mechanical patterns" are like zombies in the Sphia chimera; if you're not careful, they could drag other individuals of the same kind down with them.
Even a minor scratch can be fatal to these Specia chimeras.
After all, you never know if those tiny mechanical nanofactories will use these wounds to invade the body and brain of the Spyia chimera.
In addition, as one by one, the Spyia chimeras became part of the mechanical beasts.
The mechanical beasts themselves began to possess the various abilities of the Specia chimera, and even a higher level of intelligence and strategic awareness.
Biological laser cannons, subspace barriers, gravity traction devices, high-energy storage organs, biological guided missiles, and super-fast regeneration capabilities...
These abilities, originally belonging to the Spyia chimeras, gradually appeared on those primitive mechanical beasts.
Most importantly, those original mechanical beasts were not simply replicas of the abilities of the Spyia chimeras, but rather were specifically adjusted and adapted.
A Specia chimera can only possess one or more of these abilities.
Those mechanical beasts that are still learning and evolving are able to transfer all these abilities into themselves.

Chapter 681 The Shifting Stars and the Demise of the Stars
Bang!Bang!Bang!
At that terrifying rate of assimilation and evolution, the number of mechanical beasts quickly surpassed the number of Scia chimeras.
Moreover, as the number of mechanical beasts continues to increase, the network between them also begins to expand and multiply at an astonishing rate.
Each mechanical beast is a relatively independent node.
These relatively independent nodes can then connect to form a network.
Just like a huge and invisible mechanical brain, these mechanical beasts are each neuron in this mechanical brain.
Each time the number of mechanical beasts increases by one, the computing resources and computational power of this mechanical brain will increase by one point.
When this level of computing resources is increased to a certain level, a superintelligence that far exceeds the cognition and imagination of normal civilization will emerge.
boom! boom! boom!
The dark planet Gransfia was clearly aware of this as well.
The Specia chimeras under His command began to change again, and one after another, Specia chimeras with powerful electromagnetic interference capabilities were evolved.
These Specia chimeras appeared in elite form in every corner of the battlefield.
Whenever a mechanical beast approaches within a radius of one thousand kilometers, these special Sphia synthetic beasts will create a super-powerful electromagnetic storm centered on themselves.
These electromagnetic storms are not ordinary electromagnetic storms, but rather simulate the magnetic field chaos produced by a supernova explosion.
Let alone ordinary battery communication, even light-based communication and quantum communication will be affected by these special Sphia chimeras.
Fortunately, the special characteristics of the mechanical beasts were revealed at this moment.
Even without connecting to other entities, a standalone mechanical beast is a complete combat entity.
The constant assimilation and evolution have caused each mechanical beast that has broken free from the network to undergo unpredictable mutations, which often make them more difficult to deal with.
Once the mechanical beast is out of the electromagnetic storm's range and reconnects to the network of other individuals.
These unique alienation tendencies are then uploaded to the network, and after being optimized and configured by the mechanical brain, they are bestowed upon other mechanical beasts.
Thus, the battle, which was initially evenly matched, quickly evolved into a one-sided crushing of the mechanical beasts by the Specia chimeras.
Although they also possess some kind of evolutionary ability, the evolutionary ability of the Sphia chimeras is clearly inferior to that of these mechanical beasts composed of countless nano-micromachines.
Moreover, the abilities of the Spyar chimeras are basically based on the technological evolution of an ancient civilization.
Theoretically speaking, the Sphia chimera cannot truly evolve new abilities that Dark Planet Gransphia cannot yet comprehend.
In contrast, mechanical beasts are not subject to any constraints in their evolution.
It can evolve new abilities through random mutations like ordinary organisms, and it can also acquire the abilities of its opponents by assimilating Specia chimeras.
From this perspective, allowing the mechanical beasts to continue mutating and evolving is even more dangerous than the Dark Planet Gransphia.
Because no one knows where such mutations and evolution will lead, or whether they will eventually deviate from the original program set by Lu Xuan.
In fact, even Sophon, who is the brain of the entire mechanical beast swarm, was quite shocked by the swarm's speed of evolution and learning ability.
Infinite regeneration, infinite proliferation, infinite evolution...
A mechanical beast possessing all three of these characteristics is practically invincible in the material dimension.
Unless a higher-dimensional attack method is used to launch a dimensional reduction attack, no one can break through the first line of defense of the Oort cloud composed of them.
......................................................................................................
Rumble…
The endless liquid ocean on the planet's surface began to churn.
The enormous "Eye of the Planet" showed an unusual emotional fluctuation, which caused the Sphia chimeras that had invaded the Oort Cloud region to become increasingly frenzied.
In the infinitely vast starry sky, on the scale of cosmic distance.
All extraterrestrial civilizations still observing Earth have witnessed this upheaval war.
On one side is the dark planet Gransphia, so powerful it's almost unreasonable; on the other is an endless, ever-evolving army of mechanical beasts.
The battlefield spanned half a light-year, and the flames from the battle illuminated most of the starry sky.
Even cosmic civilizations that have never heard of Earth can observe the collision of those two giant "black holes" using various advanced equipment and telescopes.
The gravity of the stars distorted the light, and the scorched battlefield was littered with wreckage...
Everywhere you look, various cosmic phenomena that resemble natural disasters frequently appear around the solar system.
Those were all the aftereffects of this great war, an interstellar war that most cosmic civilizations could not even imagine.
Just when all observers thought the great battle would continue for a long time, the dark planet Gransphia stirred once again.
Vortex... Vortex... Vortex...
Under the indifferent gaze of the "Eye of the Planet," its own gravity, comparable to that of a black hole, was simply and brutally released.
The position of the entire solar system was thus shifted in the sky, and other nearby star systems affected by this also experienced abnormal gravitational fluctuations.
The stars shift, tsunamis and cataclysmic events unfold...
Massive amounts of matter annihilated, enormous amounts of energy released...
Leaving aside the subsequent impacts of the dark planet Gulansfia on the solar system, civilizations in other nearby star systems have been incredibly unlucky.
Various natural disasters began to appear on the surface of the home planet, and the abnormal gravity that spanned the scale of starlight even briefly disrupted the spacetime order.
Most civilizations are stabilizing their home planet one second, only to find that several years have passed in the outside world the next.
The closer a civilization is to the dark planet Gransphia and the solar system, the more severely it is affected by this time anomaly.
It felt as if I had actually fallen into a black hole.
Everything outside the black hole is fleeting and transient.
Time inside a black hole exhibits a phenomenon of days dragging on endlessly, frozen indefinitely.
In particular, the dark planet Gransphia at the very core appears to have completely stopped rotating to the outside world.
Undoubtedly, the solar system closest to the dark planet Gullansphia has also ceased functioning, falling into this cosmic-scale time freeze.
Time and space, at this moment, become weapons that can truly delay and attack the opponent.

Chapter 682 Monsters on Earth
Civilizations outside the solar system have been affected.
As the primary target of the dark planet Gransphia, life on Earth could not possibly be unaware of this great battle.
Volcanoes and tsunamis occur frequently around the world, and the sun in the sky dims in an instant.
Whether it's day or night, no matter where you stand on Earth, you can see that infinite shadow that almost obscures the stars.
"..."
Suddenly looking up at the sky, a monster lingering near the crater could not hide the shock on its face.
It possesses such complex emotions and human-like behavior.
This ferocious and terrifying monster was clearly not just an ordinary one.
In fact, it was none other than Ryosuke Sanada, the long-lost special operations team leader of the Earth Alliance and a pioneer who single-handedly initiated humanity's research into the "artificial monster" project.
Ryosuke Sanada, or rather, the Ebloon monster, stared at the sky for a long time, his heart filled with unprecedented fear.
This panic is baseless; it is the fear of death felt by all living beings.
Since deciding to abandon its human identity, the Ebloon monster had not felt such a clear threat of death for a long time.
