Chapter 166 "The Guardian"
"...Humans haven't come back yet, but their spaceships have appeared here. You, or you, should be the human beings, right?"
"It's unbelievable. I thought that no one else in this galaxy would know about human beings except me. It turns out that I still have someone to communicate with!"
This ether dragon seems to be very lonely. It is rare to meet a person who also knows the existence of human beings.
Li Wenyuan wants to say that this galaxy knows a lot about human beings, at least all the lost empires are inextricably linked to human beings, the running "apocalypse".
But this ether dragon obviously doesn't know these things. For some reason, she has been staying in this galaxy that looks a bit special and has no specific performance, in a state of "home".
And she is still talking, it seems that she has been looking for a partner who can say these words for a long time.
"To be honest, I thought it was humans who came back at first, but they never appear alone like this, and every time they come and go, they are a large group."
"So I'm sure you're not a human being, but since you can use this unique spaceship, you must have a very close relationship with them, right? Maybe you're their successor?"
"But whether you know these things or not, I'm going to spit it out now! I've been holding it in my heart for a long time!"
Ether Dragon’s emotions are very high, even the signal transmitted is not stable, and it takes guesswork to understand the meaning of the entire signal.
And Li Wenyuan also keenly discovered that what the Ether Dragon is using at this time is no longer the previous galactic universal signal, but a special signal that is unique to humans and only he can understand.
He has only received this kind of signal in human-related relics, and the overly complicated encryption method makes it impossible to decipher this thing without any human means.
But this etheric dragon can skillfully use this signal, and her relationship with humans may be extraordinary.
The age she lived in may be the time when human activities were most frequent.
"Did you know? Human beings are really scary! For 'old-timers' like me who have experienced the Big Bang, they beat them as soon as they say they want to, without giving them any face!"
"At that time, although I was not as strong as I am now, I was able to easily cross the void space and come to this galaxy. As a result, two wings were broken on the spot, and it took a long time to grow back!"
The signal of Ether Dragon is full of various emotional modifiers, it sounds like she is speaking in a "human" posture.
It sounds very emotional, and the way of thinking is also very strange, but Li Wenyuan has a kind feeling.
This is not complaining, but the feeling of exposing dark history among friends and using it as a conversation topic for a long-lost reunion.
It seems that Ether Dragon has not met someone like Li Wenyuan who can make a few sentences for a long time, and he is also very interested in talking about this kind of dark history.
As for the "terrible human beings" she mentioned in her speech, Li Wenyuan agrees. There is nothing more terrifying than human beings in this galaxy.
Immediately afterwards, Ether Dragon talked about her later encounters:
“…I was beaten terribly, but I was finally woken up from that insane state of insanity.”
"It's actually not right to say that I was awakened by a beating, because I was almost beaten to death, I lost the ability to resist, and was forced to install this thing before I regained consciousness."
As he said that, Ether Dragon shook his huge head, and even the giant bow also shook.
【Dimensional Adaptation (Ether Dragon Modified Version)】
【Introduction: When I first met Ether Dragon, she was an irrational monster who would attack anyone who got close to her. This didn’t seem to match their background, so we found out the reason. It turned out that as she stayed in this universe for longer and longer, her wisdom gradually deteriorated and dissipated as her body weakened, and she even turned into a beast that survived only on instinct. It is a pity to eliminate this special life that may be the last in the entire universe, we decided to "cure" her well]
【Special Note: This device can ensure that the Aether Dragon will not continue to weaken, but the loss of original wisdom is irreversible. We can only use this device to assist her to re-"simulate" wisdom with human thinking. Experts tried to use a genetic method to put the consciousness of the ether dragon in an artificial body, turning it into a "Dragon Lady", but this was eventually stopped. As for why this device looks like a bow, you need to ask an expert]
He is looking at this strange giant bow, and the ether dragon also talks about this thing on top of her head.
"...Although it looks abstract, this thing really protects me..."
"In the surviving memory, I can see that I have gradually turned into an irrational beast... as if I have been forcibly modified by something, everything about me is being distorted, until now I can clearly see Recalling the terrifying feeling of chaotic consciousness."
"I know that I may have 'died' once, and the reawakened thinking is not necessarily the original thinking, but I am still very grateful to human beings, not because of their strength, but because I have indeed been helped."
"I want to do something for them, but I'm too weak to be kept here like a pet..."
When talking about her experience, Ether Dragon was very calm, and had no objection to her "pet" status, and thanked humans from the bottom of her heart.
This may be the effect of human thinking, at least the virtue of knowing kindness and repaying has been passed down in her blood.
After saying the words with the same emotion, Ether Dragon talked about his purpose of staying here, and at the same time, it also made Li Wenyuan just want to praise human beings in his heart.
"...So, I was transformed into a 'female dragon', which I proposed on my own initiative, because I want human beings to see how our group grows."
"I have laid a few eggs on planets in this galaxy by means of spawning, but I don't know why, how long has it been, and there has been no movement."
"In order to protect the eggs, I can only stay in this galaxy forever, and I didn't even have time to say goodbye when humans left..."
Her signal is a bit sad, it seems that she really cares about this matter.
Li Wenyuan didn't know what to say. It is quite normal for a creature like the ether dragon, born before the Big Bang, to have no gender distinction.
And humans actually transformed it into a female, and even allowed her to give birth to offspring by laying eggs, which is powerful enough to some extent.
Finally, the aether dragon was alone for a moment of sadness, and then asked a question.
"Speaking of... I've been talking for so long, I haven't had time to ask who you are."
"We meet by chance, and when the little dragon hatches, I'll give you one?"
"...Even this kind of hospitality etiquette has been handed down along with the way of thinking?" Although Li Wenyuan complained about the "enthusiasm" of the ether dragon in his heart, he still passed on the title of "guardian".
At this moment, he is considering whether to "take" back the Ether Dragon and her eggs. After all, the galaxy is still quite dangerous. It might be a good choice for him to take care of this "human knower" left over from ancient times.
But he didn't expect that the ether dragon who received the name summons directly replied to him:
"'Guardian'? It sounds a bit like the 'Guardian Matrix'. Isn't that the human's "Galaxy Civilization Comprehensive Tester"? Do you have any relationship?"
This unexpected and sudden message made the entire galaxy fall into silence.
It's overtime, so make up for it more tonight.
