Chapter 339 The Backlash of Balance!
"How could this happen? We just wanted to make technology more advanced!"
The technological leader of the Third Universe looked at the out-of-control city, his voice filled with despair.
His robotic arm broke off due to the energy backlash, revealing the flickering circuitry inside. "Isn't balancing energy supposed to be omnipotent? Why is it turning around and harming us?"
The dessert planet in Universe 6 isn't much better.
The once vast strawberry fields and chocolate rivers are now withered, the sweet air has become murky, and in its place is a pungent smell of unbalanced energy.
Standing before his dessert palace, Champa watched as a massive crack appeared on his beloved strawberry cake planet. Black energy surging from the energy rift instantly corrupted and rotted the surrounding desserts, enraging his pink destructive energy, which then went berserk, yet dared not attack rashly.
The imbalanced energy is bound to the planet's origin, and forcibly destroying it will only make the situation worse.
"Damn it! Who allowed them to extract so much energy?!"
Xiangpa roared at his men, but no one dared to answer.
His favorite strawberry cake had started to turn black. One bite, and the original sweetness turned into a bitter, rusty taste, making him spit it out. "My dessert! My strawberry cake!"
The news spread like wildfire throughout the inter-universe alliance, and reports of backlash came from more and more universes: some planetary inhabitants experienced energy disturbances and their bodies became weak.
Some planets experience dramatic climate changes, with alternating periods of torrential rain and drought.
Some warriors even had their dantian pierced by the backlash energy while practicing the balancing qi, completely losing their combat ability.
Universe 7 was not spared either.
The Earth's balanced energy concentration has dropped significantly. During a drill where the giants were guarding the domain, on the 18th, the energy suddenly became insufficient, and cracks appeared in the golden-blue domain barrier, almost causing it to collapse.
She forcibly shut down her domain, a trace of golden-blue energy liquid spilling from the corner of her mouth, her face as pale as paper.
"Number 18! How are you?"
Klin rushed over to support her, his eyes filled with worry.
Number 18 shook his head, his breathing unsteady: "The energy is being consumed too quickly, and... it feels like it's being forcibly drained, as if it's backfiring on my divine body."
Maren ran over and placed her little hand on Number 18's chest. Her emotional resonance allowed her to instantly sense the state of Earth's energy: "Mommy, Earth's energy is crying. It's very weak, like it's been hollowed out."
The inter-universe alliance held an emergency meeting, and the horrific scenes in various universes on the screen silenced everyone.
Wukong frowned as he looked at the energy fault line in Universe 3: "Why has the balancing energy become like this? Aren't we using it to protect the universe?"
Vegeta's expression was also extremely serious: "Excessive extraction violates the natural laws of energy."
Any power, if abused, will backfire.
On Lianfeng's quantum detector screen, the fluctuation curves of balanced energy and unbalanced energy showed an extreme state of imbalance. Her voice was heavy: "The essence of balanced energy is 'cyclical symbiosis,' just like water and air, which are inexhaustible but must be used in moderation."
Excessive extraction disrupts the universe's energy cycle, causing balanced energy to become scarce, and unbalanced energy naturally takes advantage of this to proliferate—this is the 'balance backlash'.
After the meeting, Lianfeng and Linye volunteered to go to various unbalanced universes to investigate and find solutions;
Android 18 and Krillin remained on Earth to deal with the increasingly severe backlash!
Champa, along with warriors from Universe 6, attempted to repair the energy fault line on Dessert Planet, but repeatedly failed, forced to watch helplessly as his beloved desserts withered away.
