Chapter 150 Civilization Destroyer
“…Unfortunately, our original plan has completely failed, as we had predicted.”
"Accidents are also a part of the Milky Way. It is normal for this to happen. Similar assumptions have also appeared in our predictions, although the probability does not exceed 0.1%."
"'Presolin'? What an unexpected group of enemies."
The appearance of "Presolin" did surprise the "Benevolent Shelter".
This seemingly friendly "Lost Empire", actually has the most arrogant attitude. It doesn't even know when "Pressolin" appeared.
The so-called "galactic event" is nothing more than a bunch of garbage information in their eyes, and only when they occasionally have some interest will they take a look at what these "weak civilizations" have done.
This can be seen from their thoughts on the war between the "Watcher" and "Farwalker". From the bottom of their hearts, they look down on these two opposing civilizations that are fighting for life and death, and think that this is the war between two children. small fights.
Especially when both the "Watcher" and "Far Traveler" insisted that they were the successors of the "Apocalypse", the "Observers" at that time laughed out loud.
The orthodox arrogance of the "Apocalypse" is deeply implanted in their blood. When there is no master in the galaxy, they feel that they are the new generation of "Apocalypse".
Those acts of rescuing the natives and collecting precious creatures are just re-engraving behaviors in order to make themselves closer to the image of the "Apocalypse".
They never look at all things equally, and in their passionate sight, they are actually "pity" filled with arrogance.
The species that are taken in and helped are more regarded as "pets", and they are still pets with low value.
After all, they will give preferential treatment to one species based on their preferences, and ignore the struggle and death of another species.
They feel that they are the gods who dominate everything, and they take pity on this galaxy, so they give these creatures a place to stay.
But the person as a "god" cannot descend, so they want to imitate the "god" and watch this galactic drama as an "observer".
They don't feel that they are on the same line with other civilizations, they will always be the one overlooking all beings.
It’s okay if they are always “seeing” observers, but the sense of superiority of “God” makes them always want to perform some “miracles” to satisfy their selfish desires.
So they are not always "watching", and occasionally play a wave of prestige, and then feel the exclamation, shock and praise of other civilizations, which is a link that often appears in their historical records.
After they felt that they had sensed the "truth of the world", the sense of pity for being a "god" once again impacted their thoughts.
They can't completely reproduce the great achievements of the "Apocalypse", but it is also their ideal to create a new "great cause".
They believe that making the entire galaxy "embrace reality" is a miracle that is not inferior to the work of the "Apocalypse".
As the second "Apocalypse", they must complete this matter, whether it is by deception or coercion.
"...Then, the backup plan can be implemented."
"Since these young civilizations are unwilling to gently "embrace the truth", they can only use some cruel methods."
"They definitely can't understand, even if there is evidence. Just like the countless experiments we have conducted. Even if they know it's a dream, there are still a large number of people who don't want to wake up. For them, the 'dream' is the real thing. reality."
"Sure enough... In the end, we still have to rely on us..."
In the end, these high-level "benevolent shelters" who got together decided not to use this "gentle" method to guide the civilization of the galaxy.
That was their last "benevolence". Now, they decided to give up the benevolence of "God" and use the wrath of "God" to make the world sober.
The scene returns to the sightseeing group on the "Refuge" around the world. The observer did not stop because of a break in the middle of the whim, but continued their journey after a period of time.
The dignitaries of those patronized civilizations dare not have any objections to this matter, even if they think it is a waste of time.
This is the price they paid for accepting the asylum of the Lost Empire. Even their leader is completely inferior to such an ordinary "benevolent shelter" observer in terms of status.
"...But at least, our safety can be guaranteed..." Someone comforted himself in this way, and patiently listened to the observer telling the story.
"...Where did I just say that? I think... it's 'Skavenji Fungus', right?"
The observer's thoughts were beating as before, obviously he was talking about a crystal life just now.
But no one exposed this matter, they all nodded in agreement.
"Speaking of this fungus, I have to mention an experiment we did a long time ago."
"At that time, we tried to imitate the 'Apocalypse' to create some unique life... Do you know the 'Apocalypse'? Oh, oh, just know everything..."
"Fungus became our first choice. Pure fungal civilization already exists in the galaxy, and we want to create a unique fungal civilization."
"Then the scavenging properties of the 'Skavenji Fungus' gave us inspiration. A strange civilization that uses dead bodies to imitate the existence of civilization, but is actually made of fungi has become our choice..."
Originally, these politicians were silently recording the statement of this observer in their hearts. After all, the opinions of members of the Lost Empire might sometimes bring unexpected benefits.
This sense of déjà vu was initially attributed to the Observer's retelling, as he repeated the story of "The Apocalypse" more than ten times.
But soon, more than one dignitaries suddenly trembled, their complexion changed drastically, and then they quickly lowered their heads, not daring to let others see their expressions.
This kind of small change is very concealed, but everyone is a veteran in the political arena, and frequent attention to the surrounding environment is a habitual behavior.
Others noticed this detail, and then thought of the observer of the "benevolent shelter", and then all of them changed their faces in surprise and made the same behavior.
“…But our technology is really immature. After destroying the three indigenous civilizations, we failed to create the ‘intelligent saprophytic bacteria’ we wanted—a civilization composed of corpses and fungi.”
“The ‘Skavenji Fungus’ has never produced wisdom. We have studied about half of the intelligent fungal organisms of indigenous civilizations, but we still haven’t found the results we want. The mystery of life still seems to limit us.”
"In the end, this fungus is used by us to dispose of the corpses that pervade space, as well as those civilizations that were destroyed by various accidents. Isn't it amazing how waste can be reused?"
"Until now, we didn't... say, are you listening?"
The observer's sudden inquiry raised the heads of the dignitaries who were constantly communicating with the civilization behind them, trying to maintain a calm face, showing uncontrollable tension and fear.
"...Ah~ I knew you guys weren't listening, why bother with these little things? Don't you think you're lucky?"
"You are the ones who are lucky enough to die under our gentle treatment~ Compared with those outsiders who have to experience the cruel reality, you are so lucky!"
Listening to these words full of fanaticism and pity, these politicians finally couldn't bear it, and trembled all over.
At this time, the civilizations who were fighting against the "cordyceps disease" finally realized how ridiculous the "unexpected enemy" they said before was.
They once thought that "presolin" must be an "unexpected enemy" to the raging "cordyceps disease", but now they have also personally experienced the feeling of having an "unexpected enemy".
A galactic announcement from the "Benevolent Shepherds" interrupted their steps and gave them a big "surprise".
【Poor little guys, your tenacious will to fight is really strong, so strong that we have to look at it with admiration】
【But it’s over here, it’s a pity that you don’t want to accept our gentle embrace】
【Is it because we are not friendly enough? Or is it because we failed to meet your expectations? 】
【The "Skavenge Fungus" you call "Cordyceps Disease" failed to defeat you, and even made you stronger. We have to admit that the "observer" who has been observing for so long has misjudged]
【In view of your spirit, we have decided to abandon the long-standing probation policy. Although this matter is very sad, we must do it】
【So now, we are going to destroy you—】
At the beginning, this announcement made the galactic civilization full of doubts, and the "galactic community" also asked many times what "benevolent shelter" meant.
But the "benevolent shelter" did not respond, as if they had cut off all external communication since the moment the announcement was made, and entered a special state.
Subsequently, the news that many civilizations were attacked by large-scale unknown fleets flooded the entire galaxy.
To be precise, it is not the "unknown fleet". The style and attack method of the battleship prove that it is a fleet from the "Benevolent Shepherd", the former "Observer" lost empire.
But no one believed this. They kept speculating whether there was some change in the "benevolent shelter" that caused this to happen.
They actually became innocent at this time, and the friendly "Lost Empire" seems to be still beckoning to them.
It wasn’t until the leader of the Fire Alliance came to the headquarters of the “Galactic Community” and personally delivered a message from the ring world of the “Refuge” that the galactic civilizations realized the seriousness of the situation.
Terrible events are taking place in the "refuge" ring world, which is regarded as the last frontier of civilization.
The Mercy Shelter uses the by-product of their research on the "Skavenge Fungus" - a spore capable of controlling living things - to manipulate the population of their shelter on a massive scale.
Caught off guard, those "civilized positions" have completely fallen. Before the final moment, the Pyro Alliance spacecraft that has been hovering near the "refuge" around the world received the internal news.
Although the spaceship was also destroyed by the "benevolent shelter" who suddenly went mad, it still sent precious information back to the home planet.
And the galactic civilizations finally understood what was the real purpose of this lost empire that had been urging them to accept asylum.
They want to let a sufficient number of galactic creatures commit suicide at the same time to get rid of the "virtual world" they are in.
This unacceptable behavior instantly detonated the galaxy, but the hostility of the "benevolent shelter" is irreversible.
In the star map, in addition to the red color block of "Cordyceps disease", the white color block belonging to the "benevolent shelter" also turned red at this time.
This means that they have become enemies identified by the "Galactic Community".
And "Benevolent Shelter" is no longer their name, and now they have a more suitable name: Civilization Destroyer
In the end, a large number of discussions were terminated by the silent Tinder Alliance. This civilization, which has always regarded the "observer" as an example, personally proposed such an issue:
"Designated by natural disaster: civilization destroyer."
