Chapter 330: Prophecy! Will Everyone Die?_2
Prepare for total annihilation, with everyone dead.
After the elders left, Su Yu immediately began researching the memory extracted from Zhou Qing's mind.
However, those memories were very vague, shrouded in a thick mist, and were somehow encrypted.
The encryption was extremely strong, so even with Su Yu's powerful computational abilities, it couldn't be decrypted quickly to reveal the truth of the prophecy.
"This kind of encryption is definitely not something Zhou Qing could have accomplished on her own. In fact, these memories don't seem to be her own."
"It feels like some powerful entity forcibly implanted these memories into her mind."
"Could this be the truth of the Prophet?"
"What kind of powerful existence could implant these memories into her? Neither I nor the Mechanical God noticed anything."
"This is similar to the legendary Divine Revelation, where the gods imbue their followers with knowledge of future events, revealing destiny..."
"Could it really be a God of Destiny at work? Or is it... the work of the [King]?"
Though Su Yu couldn't decrypt these memories, he still drew some conclusions.
These memories didn't originate from Zhou Qing herself; they were infused from an external source!
Su Yu suspected it might be the doing of the King.
"The Prophet? Interesting..."
At this time, the Mechanical God also joined in the study of the memories.
The entity was very interested in what was called the prophecy.
As an expert in the Domain of Destiny, it could construct a River of Time, allowing everyone in the Manifestation Space to freely decide their fates.
Upon hearing from a prophecy that something is destined to happen, the Mechanical God couldn't help but want to figure it out.
The Mechanical God had never encountered a so-called Prophet before.
It hadn't even encountered Spiritual Energy before, much less a Prophet.
Thus, it fully activated its powers to decrypt these memories.
Although its physical form was in a constant state of collapse and repair, unable to exert most of its power,
it was still much stronger than Su Yu.
Nonetheless, even for the Mechanical God, it took over an hour to fully decrypt this segment of memory.
Then, it and Su Yu began to view the memory together.
In the memory, there was only one image.
Prior, Zhou Qing had multiple dreams that only showed parts of this image.
Because the image's "resolution" was simply too high, recognizing over a million faces within it, it was understandable Zhou Qing couldn't see the full scope given her abilities.
But Su Yu could indeed see it in its entirety.
"This can't be right..."
In the image, Su Yu saw the sea of corpses Zhou Qing had described.
However, something was amiss.
These corpses were not the people from the Manifestation Space.
Or rather, it wasn't just the people from the Manifestation Space.
Su Yu saw that among the mountains of corpses were millions of residents from his Mechanical City.
Su Yu saw the corpses of Tie Long, Xie Yitian, Xiao Shengyin, Yang Lie, and others.
And there were even more people Su Yu did not recognize.
Furthermore, the scene wasn't in the Manifestation Space but rather in the outside world, on the Ruins Star.
The memory depicted a blood-red earth, piled with corpses.
Not far away, there was a vast ruin, remnants of the Mechanical City after its fall.
In the sky, countless eyes of rotten flesh, writhing flesh tentacles, twisted mechanical arms and turrets, dead silent black sea water...
On the blood-red earth, only one person stood, Su Yu.
Su Yu stood on the blood-red earth, donned in broken battle armor, roaring madly at the twisted sky...
This was the full scope of the prophecy image.
"It's not a battle in the Manifestation Space, but the ultimate battle in the future?"
Su Yu couldn't help but mutter to himself.
This was really beyond Su Yu's expectations.
The image clearly depicted the future where Su Yu initiated the final battle against the Brutal Evil God and other formidable evil deities.
Judging by the results of the battle, things looked very bleak.
Originally, Su Yu thought it might be the King's mischief, trying to use it to disrupt their military morale.
But now, Su Yu had completely ruled out this possibility.
Because there were details in the image that the King absolutely could not have known.
Even if the King had stolen the memories of the Galaxy Battle Armor, it couldn't possibly know so much about the Mechanical City. It couldn't have known the faces of every single resident, down to the smallest detail.
The Galaxy Battle Armor itself had never seen these people, so how did the King produce this image?
Unless the King could freely enter and exit the Manifestation Space, and made a trip to the Mechanical City to memorize everyone's face.
But that was obviously impossible. Would the Mechanical God not know if the King had come and gone from the Manifestation Space?
"So this is indeed a prophecy? And it has foretold my ultimate fate, where everyone dies except me?"
"But looking at the situation, I fear that in the next moment, I too will die?"
"Is this really my fate, that after all my efforts, this is the outcome?"
At this moment, Su Yu also somewhat understood the feelings of those elders earlier.
Cleary, they were constantly striving to enhance their strength, hoping for a good outcome.
But a sudden prophecy came and negated everything, forcibly giving Su Yu a tragic ending.
Who could accept such an outcome?
"Even though I have the Profession Panel and have not worked especially hard to enhance my strength, I still can't accept it!"
"Mechanical God, do you know what's going on with this prophecy?"
Su Yu didn't lose his composure and still managed to make a quip.
Then he promptly asked the "expert" in this domain, the Mechanical God.
Upon hearing this, the Mechanical God paused for a moment before speaking, "This is not an image."
Su Yu, puzzled, uttered a "Hmm?" to express his confusion.
Not an image?
The Mechanical God explained, "This image appears to be infinitely magnifiable."
"I had already zoomed it to the microscopic level, and it can still be further magnified..."
"Alright, now I have zoomed it to the quantum level... Truly unbelievable, this is not an image, but a [Snapshot of the Universe]."
"Infinitely magnifiable?"
Previously, Su Yu only focused on the faces in the image; now reminded, he was shocked and quickly magnified the image in his consciousness as well.
Sure enough, as the image was enlarged, details continuously emerged, seemingly without end.
Su Yu magnified the subject to himself in the image.
With magnification, he saw his muscle fibers, his cells, and finally, even his protein molecules.
At this point, he could no longer enlarge it further due to the vast amount of information provided by the magnified image.
Despite Su Yu's expanded cognitive capacity, he couldn't encompass it all.
The Mechanical God, however, could continue magnifying it, and it murmured to itself as it observed:
"If our Universe is a continuously playing movie, then this image is a snapshot taken from it."
"Its resolution seems infinite, capturing a single moment in the Universe with infinite detail. Although the scope didn't cover the whole Universe, just a small part of a planet, it's still incredible enough."
"Such a massive amount of information occupies such small informational space? That it can be stored in a little girl's brain?"
"What exactly is the principle behind this..."
"This technology seems far more advanced than my River of Destiny..."
The Mechanical God murmured to itself, seemingly also shocked by this miraculous prophecy.
The River of Destiny it created also recorded the past and future within the Manifestation Space, containing a massive amount of information, but it couldn't be infinitely magnified with such lacking detail.
Infinite magnification signifies infinite information, a concept even beyond the capabilities of the Mechanical God.
Yet this image seemed truly infinite.
This was something even the Mechanical God couldn't comprehend.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu's heart sank further.
This image, its resolution was actually infinite!
If even the Mechanical God found it unbelievable, it certainly couldn't have been made by the King.
So... is it truly a prophecy, that everyone really will die?
