At the same time, but the crazy

Chapter 570: The Infinite Cage

As the cold voice of the Anti-Spiral race fell, an indescribable upheaval began to occur throughout the entire universe, and indeed in all observable and unobservable dimensions.

It was neither a simple burst of energy nor a tearing of space.

Rather, it is a distortion at the conceptual level.

Inside the cockpit of the Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren Lagann, everyone except Zhang Qi lost focus at the same moment.

"Mother……"

Simon's face showed a childlike confusion and longing, his hands unconsciously reaching forward, as if trying to grasp some illusory phantom.

"Damn it...it's happening again...why..."

Kamina's forehead veins bulged, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared intently at the empty space ahead, his teeth grinding together as he was lost in some painful memory.

"Everyone...everyone's here...it's so nice..."

Dayaka grinned, revealing a simple and honest smile, but his eyes were completely empty.

“Nia…”

Roger Rome's body trembled slightly as he murmured softly.

"A hopeless hell of infinite possibilities...?"

"That's quite an impressive ability..."

Zhang Qi frowned slightly as he looked at his companions' condition.

Everyone is dragged into an illusory labyrinth built upon their own perceptions, obsessions, fears, or desires.

This was the first time he had truly encountered an enemy capable of arbitrarily distorting the laws of the universe and even directly interfering with individual cognition, creating countless parallel universe prisons.

Just then, in the distorted and shifting space-time directly in front of the Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren Lagann, a blurry humanoid silhouette slowly coalesced.

It has no specific facial features, no fixed shape, and seems to be composed of pure darkness and nothingness, yet it exudes a cold will that transcends all life.

"who are you?"

The figure spoke, its voice ringing directly in Zhang Qi's mind, devoid of any emotion.

"Any sentient being should be unable to break through the barrier of this multiverse's cognitive level..."

It seemed a little curious about Zhang Qi's ability to remain conscious, its figure swaying slightly as it surveyed the Super Galaxy Great Crimson Lotus where Zhang Qi was located.

Just as he said, if there is only one path ahead for a life, then he may walk it steadfastly.

However, if there are three or more paths in front of this life form, it will begin to hesitate about which path to choose.

And now, what he offers is an infinite number of choices...

Every choice they make could lead to the 'happiness' they desire, or it could lead to the 'despair' they fear most.

Faced with such infinite possibilities, any will would be worn down.

but now……

"That's because I'm walking the right path..."

Zhang Qi took a deep breath, his eyes sharp as knives, staring directly at the Anti-Spiral Clan's thought entity before him.

"The right path?"

The Anti-Spiral's thought entity emitted a mental fluctuation that sounded almost like a sneer.

"How dare you say that..."

"Your so-called evolution and infinite possibilities of the Spiral race will ultimately lead to the complete destruction of the universe—the wrath of the Spiral God. Only we are the true guardians of the cosmic order and the rightful existence to maintain the universe's survival."

"If that's the case... then why don't you just exterminate the Spiral Race?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qi countered with a question.

"With your technological capabilities, completely annihilating all the Spiral race and then creating non-spiral life forms like the Orcs that don't trigger Spiral predators should be a piece of cake, right?"

“This is something that even Roger Rom once tried and succeeded in.”

"..."

Upon hearing this, the Anti-Spiral's thought entity fell silent.

That cold and arrogant will froze for a moment.

"You could have solved the problem once and for all, but you chose to use this method that is almost like 'selection' and 'testing,' allowing the Spiral Race to develop again and again, to challenge your authority, and to come before you time and time again."

Seeing this, Zhang Qi continued to press for answers.

"There's only one reason I can think of for you to do this..."

"That is, you are not actually sure whether the path you have chosen to 'suppress all evolution' is truly 'correct'!"

"You need to prove to yourselves and to the entire universe that you are right by defeating the Spirals time and time again!"

"You are afraid! You are afraid that something might actually emerge from the Spiral Race that breaks your so-called 'destiny'! You are afraid that our evolution will truly create a completely new path that you cannot understand or control!"

Zhang Qi's words were like a sharp sword, piercing the core of the Anti-Spiral Clan's will!
"boom--!!!"

The distorted and ever-changing spacetime around us suddenly began to violently tremble, collapse, and shatter!
It's no longer just a conceptual distortion; the entire structure of the universe is undergoing a radical transformation!
It was as if the entire multiverse was being forcibly compressed and reorganized at this moment!
The next moment, Zhang Qi and the anti-spiral race's thought entity simultaneously disappeared from the original battlefield.

When their vision cleared again, they found themselves in a strange space that defied description.

There are no stars, no matter, only pure, surging torrents of energy, and a vastness and expanse that transcends all dimensions.

"This is... the Superspiral Universe."

The Anti-Spiral's thought entity's voice remained cold, but seemed to carry an added, inexplicable meaning.

"A dimension that transcends the multiverse as you perceive it is a world where 'cognition' and 'will' can be directly manifested as power."

At that very moment, behind Zhang Qi, behind the Super Galaxy Great Crimson Lotus, one after another, figures connected to his aura yet each with their own unique characteristics began to slowly emerge.

Some were clad in strange armor; some wielded extravagantly designed weapons, their fighting spirit soaring to the heavens; others stood calmly and solemnly, yet possessed the imposing and dignified air of a master...

That was a projection of the will of Zhang Qi from other universes and other worlds!

"So that's how it is. This is your trump card? An alternate self from another universe?"

Seeing this, the Anti-Spiral's thought entity instantly understood the source of Zhang Qi's power.

Immediately afterward, under Zhang Qi's slightly astonished gaze, the form of the Anti-Spiral Clan's thought entity began to change rapidly!
The originally blurry outline quickly became clear and solid.

In the blink of an eye, a figure exactly like Zhang Qi appeared in the Super Spiral Universe!

No, it's not just about appearance!

Even the familiar and powerful spiral force fluctuations, and that unique willpower, were imitated perfectly!

Then, behind this "anti-spiral opening", one figure after another began to emerge!
Each figure corresponds to an alternate entity from another world behind Zhang Qi!
Whether it's the aura or the fluctuations in power, they are exactly the same as Zhang Qi's counterparts!
It's not just a superficial imitation!
It is a perfect replica that truly possesses the same power and the same momentum!

"Since this is a battlefield of cognition, then I naturally possess your 'possibilities' as well."
