Chapter 216 The real "natural disaster"
The galaxy has probably never experienced a chaotic interstellar situation like this one.
No one thought that there would be a situation where "two guardians" would appear at the same time.
The type of signal used by the Lost Empire is the focus of attention in the galaxy.
After all, the occasional charity from the Lost Empire is enough to save a civilization from traveling for decades. It is not a shame to "lick" the Lost Empire.
Among these lost empires, the "Guardian" is the most special one.
Even though the original "Guardian" doesn't look much different from other lost empires, the biggest difference is that he seems to be a "lost mechanical intelligence".
But after many crises, the ratings of the civilizations on the "Guardian" began to rise again and again, and the mystery shrouded in the "Guardian" became more and more intense.
This civilization classified as a "lost empire" by the galaxy civilization seems to be beyond the level of the galaxy.
The most obvious point is that the strength of civilization far surpasses all people. If you use specific numbers to measure the strength of a civilization, the average lost empire is 200,000, and the "guardians" are at least one million. This is only a conservative estimate .
Whether it is the "Circle Crisis" formed by "End of Reincarnation" sacrificing almost the entire "Watcher", or the "Civilization Annihilator Crisis" caused by the crazy "Observer", it is enough to lead to the destruction of the galaxy. major threat.
However, these threats were easily resolved by the "Guardians". In the eyes of the galactic civilization, the "Guardians" dealt with the crisis like crushing an insect. Galactic Crisis is just that" illusion.
But after really coming into contact with the "Boundary Breaker Crisis" and "Cordyceps Disease Crisis", everyone understands the destructive power of these threats spreading across the galaxy.
For this reason, the galactic civilizations gave these experienced galactic threats an appropriate name-natural disasters.
This is also the source of the issue of "designated natural disasters" in the "galactic community". They hope to kill natural disasters in their infancy.
But what can be killed so easily, can it still be called a "natural disaster"?
The real natural disasters are all super threats that come suddenly, have great destructive power, are difficult to prepare for, and can destroy the galaxy by themselves.
Like now, beyond everyone's expectations, the "Guardian" seems to have become a natural disaster.
They received two messages from the "Guardian", one of which seemed to be a broken "Guardian", and the other was a normal "Guardian".
In order to clarify their thoughts and find a solution, the galactic civilizations had to start thinking about the context behind this incident.
"...From the current situation, it seems that there were originally two 'Guardians' in the galaxy—or rather, a 'Guardian' as we know it, and another Lost Guardian of the same origin as the 'Guardian' Mechanical intelligence..."
Scientists of the Fire Alliance responded first. They assembled a think tank team with extremely efficient execution, and began to speculate on the situation of this "natural disaster" based on the clues in their hands.
Although the two strings of completely different signals were detected by them almost at the same time, there is still a slight time gap, and the order of "first come, first served" can be judged.
The signal with lengthy content and the dangerous word "purification" appeared first, while another signal with the same content as the normal response of the "Guardian" appeared later.
"...It looks more like the 'Guardian' reacted to the previous series of signals... I have never seen the 'Guardian' react so violently, there must be something inside that we don't know!"
"Could that be... the ancient enemy of the 'Guardian'?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into silence.
When the "Watcher" and "Farwalker" fought in the past, the civilization of the galaxy thought about whether other lost empires also had such an "ancient enemy"?
It was widely rumored at the time that the "Guardian", as the mechanical intelligence guarding the galaxy, may have had a "Destroyer" mechanical intelligence that was on the opposite side of him.
However, since nothing in the galaxy has been able to threaten the existence of the "Guardian", this statement has finally become just a conjecture.
But now it seems that there really is such an "ancient enemy" in the "Guardian".
"... Not only that, judging from the completely consistent signal types, the 'Guardian' and that unknown enemy...It is very likely that they used to have the same origin, or even a whole..."
"Although it is not clear what happened to cause all this, the inference of the 'two guardians' seems to be feasible, except that one is the 'guardian' we know well, while the other is broken' Guardian'..."
After a while of discussion, the Tinder Alliance, which was already grateful to the "Guardian", passed their decision.
—They will unswervingly believe in the former Guardian of the Galaxy, even if he spread the "ghost signal" in the galaxy before.
The two "ghost signals" that spread wildly in the galaxy a few months ago are now known, and the extremely destructive one comes from the currently unknown broken "Guardian".
As for the other kind of "ghost signal" that is just infected and does nothing, under the blessing of the filter, it is also understood by the Tinder Alliance as something similar to "vaccination".
"Then there are still some things that need to be discussed, such as the crisis caused by the suspected broken 'Guardian', what should we call him? Guardian crisis? Lost omnic crisis?"
"I remember that it was said in the signal that the one that was activated seemed to be a backup protocol...'Active Purification Protocol'? How about calling him a 'Purifier'?"
Everyone has a different opinion on the matter of naming, but the debates of all kinds of tongues were finally settled by the leaders of the Tinder Alliance who have been listening all the time.
"...Do you still remember what the string of 'purification declaration' said? An 'unexpected enemy' was detected."
"At first I thought that this 'unexpected enemy' referred to an unknown enemy in the galaxy, or the 'Guardian' itself... But after thinking about the meaning of those signals, this 'unexpected enemy' seems to refer to us ah…"
The leader of the Tinder Alliance paused, and continued with sharp eyes: "We seem to be considered by this broken 'Guardian' to be the source of the galaxy's damage, the galaxy's borers, and it's here to 'purify' us pests. .”
"But why does it make such a definition? We have also gone through countless hardships before we can finally stand on this galactic stage."
"He thinks we are the 'enemy of surprise', but for us, he is the real 'enemy of surprise'!"
The decisive words of the leaders have been agreed, and at the same time, their blood has been aroused.
Are they "surprise enemies"? No, the other party is!
So, when most galactic civilizations were still arguing, the Tinder Alliance took the lead in putting forward their proposal in the "galactic community".
It is not an issue of designating a civilization as a threat to the galaxy, such as "designation of natural disasters", but a major resolution that all intelligent life in the galaxy should pay attention to, such as "galactic focus":
"Galaxy Focus: Unexpected Enemy; Goal: Defeat the 'Active Purification Protocol'."
