“…We hope that every crisis fighter can let go of prejudices, ignore previous suspicions, and transfer the civilized position to our ‘sanctuary’.”
"I know you will have doubts about this, but I believe that soon, you will understand us."
"Be kind, we will always open the border for you, and look forward to the day when we will join hands with each other instead of becoming 'cleared'..."
After all this, the holographic projection of the "benevolent shelter" also dissipated, and what appeared again was the Milky Way star map with red color blocks that seemed to be a circle larger.
The representatives of various civilizations present also looked at each other and fell silent.
Just now, the "Benevolent Shelter" shared their experience of fighting the "Invasion of the Dead" in ancient times.
Although they are wary of the behavior that requires them to transfer their civilization to the territory of this "awakened empire", the reputation and trust from the former "observer" also makes them hesitate.
If, as the "Benevolent Shelter" said, "The Invasion of the Dead" has a terrifying "assimilation" ability, then every civilization that is destroyed will become a sharp blade swayed at its companions.
However, any civilization will definitely be cautious about such a major event as "transferring the position of civilization", and the "benevolent shelter" seems to have known that it is impossible to gain trust immediately.
So they did not immediately let the galactic civilizations make a decision, but set a deadline for reply.
[In order to ensure that the "Dead Invasion" does not use other civilizations to strengthen itself, we will perform "cremation" on civilizations that have not accepted asylum after a period of time]
【I hope you can understand our concerns, you have to believe that we are indeed thinking of everyone】
This seemingly negotiated but threatening words made all civilizations have to take it seriously, frantically trying to verify whether those "undead" are really as terrible as the "benevolent shelter" said.
However, the "corpse civilization" that is expanding at a terrifying speed has completely crushed all the "testing fleets" with its powerful strength, and failed to let these civilizations get any results.
Including the Star Alliance, an old interstellar civilization that controls a large number of stargates, in order to protect their stargate network, they fought with a group of "Dead Invasion" advance fleets.
But they ended up with a fiasco in the end, and had to destroy many stargates that were about to be captured before retreating to prevent the "dead invasion" from relying on these stargates to expand further.
The huge army of the dead reminded these civilizations of bee swarms, but the army of the dead was much more terrifying.
The number of these known dead troops has even surpassed the total amount of young civilizations in the Milky Way. It is hard to imagine where these "undead" got so many corpses. Some people even speculate whether they have been hoarding since ancient times deceased.
This conjecture quickly gained a lot of recognition, and further shook the determination of these civilizations to stick to their home planet.
"If we don't join the 'Benevolent Shelter', then what we will face... How many civilizations of the Galactic Era will be dead? Will we also become one of these dead?"
"Perhaps... Only as the "benevolent shelter" said, abandoning all barriers between species and consciousness, so that the entire galaxy can gather into "one civilization", can we survive this difficulty..."
Desperate news like this is constantly being circulated among the people of various civilizations. Even though the civilized government tried its best to restrict it, it still failed to stop the rumors from spreading, making these civilization infiltration agencies suspect that there are malicious people behind the scenes.
Even though the source and origin of these "undead" has not been a clear conclusion, but the horror of "dead invasion" has become a fact.
There are already some civilizations that cannot resist the increasing pressure in the country, and choose to go to the "refuge" of "benevolent shelters".
It is a huge ring world, located in the territory of "the benevolent shelter".
The former "observer" placed many indigenous civilizations on it, and now it is the turn of the interstellar civilization to live here.
A large number of spaceships loaded with countless people began to go to the "refuge" from all over the galaxy, while the "benevolent shelters" were building a large number of interstellar fortresses on the border, and seemed to be preparing to start a decisive battle with the "dead invasion" in these places.
The supervision of the "Galaxy Community" began to decline, and some civilizations chose to join the "Benevolent Shelter" one after another, and became "crisis fighters" recognized by the "Benevolent Shelter".
The Mercy Shelter promises to return them when the crisis is over, and rewards them for their fight in The Invasion of the Dead.
However, not all civilizations have chosen this path. There are still many civilizations that are on the sidelines due to various reasons, and they will never shift their positions until the last moment.
Saigulius Avenging Crusade is one of them. After experiencing the life-and-death war with the Chien Empire, they only believe in themselves now.
Even if they knew that what awaited them might be an army of undead from several galactic epochs combined, as well as the "cremation" from fellow galactics, they were not afraid of anyone, and fanatically organized war mobilization.
In addition to this national fanatical civilization, there are many civilizations that did not choose to join because of other lost empires.
These lost empires of various shapes are like their "gods", even if they are not vassal civilizations, they also want the response of these lost empires.
Among them, the "Guardians" are the worst, because they always feel that this "Mechanical Lost Empire" seems to have no interest in this "Dead Invasion".
Having doubts about the story told by the "merciful shelter", they looked forward to another answer from the "guardian".
When it comes to these civilizations that refuse to join the "benevolent shelter", naturally, the Tinder Alliance cannot be missing.
All civilizations know that the Tinder Alliance has longed for the Observer, and are therefore surprised by their choice to refuse asylum.
However, the Tinder Alliance did not elaborate too much, but is still doing their own business intensively.
On this day, the Tinder Alliance, which was still looking for traces of the "Invasion of the Dead" in history, received a special message.
Although the communication in the Milky Way has become extremely chaotic, the Fire Seed Alliance did not let go of a signal. They have always maintained smooth communication and received the message easily.
"...'Serving Paradise'? How could this group of xenophobic machine servants..."
Some people wondered about the origin of the communication, but they still read the content, and then they were taken aback.
This news came from a guy who had been dismissed by them a long time ago. This guy accepted the transformation of "Serving Paradise", abandoned his original physical body, and became an "alien".
But now, the person who was removed from them sent an important message.
【To my teacher:】
【Teacher, this is the last time I will convey this message to you in this capacity. After that, I will live as a "master" completely, and the memory of being in the Tinder Alliance will also be sealed deep in my memory】
【Regarding this "invasion of the dead", my civilization has discovered something, and confirmed that those controlling the "dead" are a kind of fungus】
【Just like the common Cordyceps, these parasitic fungi manipulate the corpse's actions】
【Since their infection speed is too fast, like a disease, we decided to call it "Cordyceps disease" instead of "Invasion of the Dead"】
【The detailed data is also sent together】
【Don’t think I betrayed my lovely servants, you can’t even imagine how good it is here】
【I have discussed with her "master" and the machine servants before deciding that I will deliver this message】
【After all, you have worked very hard, and children who work hard should be rewarded! 】
