Anime Crossover: The Small Workshop System's Aggressive Feeding

He set this axiom to apply only within the solar system.

This is his new examination room.

"Om..."

A barely audible hum echoed through the space.

The sand swallow suddenly raised her head. She saw nothing, but a shiver of instinct made the hairs on her body stand on end.

She saw that behind her husband, in the deep night sky, there were specks of purple light, like will-o'-the-wisps that appeared out of nowhere, flickering on and off.

They were initially small and dim, but soon, in a way that defied the laws of physics, they rapidly expanded and condensed into shape!

In Earth's geosynchronous orbit, a colossal figure slowly emerged. It possessed insect-like segmented limbs, and its metallic exoskeleton was crisscrossed with ominous purple patterns. Its head had no facial features, only a constantly opening and closing void that seemed capable of swallowing light.

—A Temple-class Honkai Beast.

Then, the second, the third...

Hundreds and thousands of Temple-class Honkai Beasts, like a silent ghost fleet, appeared silently in Earth's orbit, forming a huge, slowly rotating encirclement.

They made no sound and released no detectable energy radiation. They simply existed there, causing the surrounding spatial parameters to become disordered.

Great Wall One, China's last line of defense in space.

The piercing alarm blared wildly in the command center hundreds of meters underground.

"Warning! Warning! Unknown target group detected in geosynchronous orbit!"

"The quantity... is impossible to count! Preliminary estimates exceed one thousand!"

"Unidentified energy signal! Not belonging to the Taotie! Not belonging to demons! Not belonging to any known civilization!"

"What...what are they doing? Oh my god...our Tianyan-3 satellite...has disappeared!"

A young monitor pointed at the screen, his voice trembling with fear.

On the large screen, the green dot representing China's most advanced reconnaissance satellite vanished into thin air the instant it came into contact with a purple outline.

There was no explosion, no disintegration; it was as if it had been erased from the picture by an eraser.

Then, one by one, more lights, belonging to satellites and space stations from different countries, went out silently.

These purple phantoms are "cleaning up" all man-made objects in Earth's orbit in a way that is incomprehensible to humans.

On the villa's terrace.

Feng Shayan's mouth hung open, completely unable to speak. She could sense that the monsters that appeared in space, and the feathered serpent god Kukulkan who had previously coiled around the sun, originated from the same despairing power.

But this time, they are no longer individual entities.

They are... a legion.

Zhou Ye slowly withdrew his gaze, picked up the slightly cooled tea on the table, and took a small sip.

"Alright, the examination room has been set up."

He turned his head and looked at Feng Shayan, whose face was pale and whose body was trembling slightly, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Now, we're just waiting for the candidates to enter the examination hall."

As soon as he finished speaking, on a higher orbit, a shadow several times larger than all the previous monsters combined began to slowly coalesce.

Its silhouette resembled a giant dragon soaring above a sea of ​​stars, its wingspan large enough to obscure the moonlight. Purple lightning crackled and danced across its crystal-like scales.

Judgment-class Honkai Beast - Benares, also known as Bebe Dragon.

Zhou Ye looked at the elegant yet deadly dragon and nodded in satisfaction.

"An exam always needs a proctor."

Chapter 421 The Unpopular Super God Academy

The Earth is "overheated".

This was the consensus reached by all the surviving amateur astronomers and meteorologists around the world the following morning.

Temperatures outside the atmosphere are rising at an abnormal rate. It's not the slow, understandable change of the greenhouse effect, but a bizarre phenomenon where the entire space seems to be "heating up."

All satellite communications were cut off overnight.

Whether it's GPS navigation, weather maps, or international long-distance calls, all modern technologies that rely on space equipment have become scrap metal.

The world, overnight, regressed to half a century ago.

Panic spread across the globe like a virus. But compared to the bewilderment of ordinary people, it was the "god-like" civilizations that truly stood on the cosmic stage who felt the chill that penetrated to their very bones.

Angel Nebula, in Tianji Wang Hexi's laboratory.

"Unanalyzable! Incomprehensible!"

He Xi, hailed as the greatest scientist since the Shenhe Civilization, is now facing the enormous holographic star map before him, his face showing frustration and bewilderment for the first time.

On the star map, Earth is surrounded by a huge ring composed of countless purple dots of light.

“Keisha, these things… I call them Honkai Beasts. Their very existence distorts everything we know.”

He Xi's voice was slightly hoarse, because a voice had told her her name.

"They do not follow the law of conservation of energy, nor the law of mass-energy conversion. They are more like a... a phenomenon, a physical phenomenon called collapse, which has a physical entity of 760."

"I tried to conduct beyond-line-of-sight simulated attacks using space-based systems, but all the attack models collapsed on their own before even getting close to them. They weren't intercepted; they were conceptually negated. Our weapons don't even deserve to exist in front of them."

Holy Keisha, seated on her throne, listened quietly.

Looking at the Honkai Beasts silently encircling the Earth, she recalled Zhou Ye's words, "Clean up the solar system."

So this is what he meant by "cleaning".

Not destruction, but... isolation.

He used these monsters to add a "shell" to the Earth, a "shell" that no one could easily break through or even see through.

"What does he want to do?" He Xi murmured to herself, "Turn Earth into an isolated island? A...laboratory?"

Perhaps we were all wrong.

Keisha spoke slowly, her voice carrying an unprecedented solemnity, and the King's Long Pants were no longer crossed, but stood upright.

“We always thought he came to conquer and destroy. But now it seems he’s more like a… gardener.”

"A gardener is cleaning the garden, removing weeds, and preparing to plant some new seeds."

"And we, as well as the Taotie, the demons... are just weeds in his eyes."

This metaphor sent chills down He Xi's spine.

"Give me the order."

Keisha's voice rang out again, firm and resolute, "Continue the silence. From this moment forward, the solar system is designated as a forbidden zone of the unknown universe. All angels must completely forget that coordinate."

“This is to protect the Angelic Civilization, He Xi. We… are not qualified to stand by and watch that gardener work.”

"Perhaps we must also make a choice soon: submission or destruction!"

He Xi stared wide-eyed, her eyes filled with disbelief. She never expected that her best friend would choose to submit without even engaging in a confrontation. Was this really the strongest being in the known universe for thousands of years?

No, perhaps this really is a way to protect the community.

Beyond Pluto's orbit, on the wings of a demon that are frantically "running away".

Morgana was stunned when she saw the blurry images transmitted from the last working deep space probe that Ator presented to her.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"

She swore three times in a row before she could barely express the shock she felt.

"What...what the hell is this thing? Is this the new toy that Karl the pervert came up with? No! This thing is a million times more disgusting than Karl's Void Engine!"

In the video, a Temple-class Honkai Beast simply "passed by" a straggling Taotie reconnaissance ship. The warship, which was thousands of meters long, was like metal thrown into concentrated acid, silently decomposing and dissolving until not even a speck of dust remained.

Ato stood to the side, his Adam's apple bobbing, and said with difficulty:

"Your Majesty, according to our analysis, these unknown creatures seem to have an extremely strong repulsive and decomposing effect on dark energy. The Taotie's spaceship is also essentially powered by dark energy, so in front of them..."

"So we're the same way!"

Morgana suddenly jumped up and kicked Atto in the butt.

"What are you waiting for! Turn the engine up to the max! Run! Run out of the Milky Way! No! Out of the Local Group! I'm never coming back until that freak leaves Earth!"

She was really scared.

If Zhou Ye's actions in forcing Di Hongkun to his death made her feel fear of absolute power, then...

Now, the appearance of these Honkai Beasts gives her a physiological fear, like that of a "natural enemy".

Her demon army, her depravity and freedom, her proud demonic genes—all of these are like viruses in front of antivirus software, offering no chance to struggle against these monsters.

Juxia, command center.

The atmosphere had become incredibly tense.

Dukao didn't sleep all night. His bloodshot eyes were fixed on the line of bright red text on the screen: "Global communications interrupted, orbital target lost."

Nine days remain in the ten-day deadline.

They were making frantic preparations for evacuation, packing up equipment and transferring personnel. However, at this critical juncture, the Earth was "locked down."

Those purple monsters didn't attack the Earth itself; they simply acted like loyal jailers, blocking all exits.

"General..."

Lianfeng's voice trembled, "We...are trapped."

Ducaan didn't speak; he just leaned back wearily in his chair.

He knew this was no coincidence.

This is the meaning of that being.

He ordered Super God Academy to get off Earth, but now he's blocked the gates.

What does he want to do?

Just then, the door to the briefing room was kicked open.
