Chapter 71: Smearing the Starry Sky (1)
Empty to the palpitating silence of space, the blazing pure white fireball floats silently.
Stars, planets, asteroids, gravel dust, and even thin gas clouds have disappeared without a trace.
Tens of light-years away, thousands of giant space creatures swim like sharks in the sea.
They possess a carapace thick enough to withstand the onslaught of small celestial bodies and streams of radiation particles, and are protected by a massive body composed of highly alienated muscle fibers and various crystallized organs.
In this starry sky, they were originally predators at the apex, and in the myths and stories handed down by almost all intelligent species from ancient times to the present, the giant beasts and gods that destroyed the world are the traces left by these space creatures.
These creatures, which have never encountered any predators for a long time, chase their staple food in the starry sky, all sorts of nutrient-rich meteors, and strange celestial structures that no one knows where they came from. For them, the small, fragile creatures that live on the mud balls and do all sorts of strange things in front of their eyes are roughly equivalent to interesting toys or small desserts that don't taste very good.
They will reign supreme until the Emperor's fleets roam the starry skies, consuming all enemies with war and building an empire that has never been seen before.
It's just that with the rise of empires, the former glory has finally moved away from them.
They are so powerful that they have not developed a civilization of their own for tens of millions of years of history. They are powerful enough to squander, and an environment without natural predators cannot stimulate them to evolve more. In fact, these space creatures have reached the extreme level of evolution that their material shells can evolve, and the only ones that can harm them are those devastating and terrifying astronomical phenomena.
But at this moment, these former rulers show their greatest humility and respect.
Because gathered in the distance are the most terrifying and powerful life in the history of this universe, the fierce beasts called 'Stars', which carry the beginning and end of all species.
Nearly a hundred planets with a diameter of more than 8,000 kilometers surrounded their king, blooming with a radiance full of destruction. There is almost no rationality in these planetary beings awakened from their eternal sleep, only outright madness and tyranny.
The chaotic gravitational environment has created an astronomical spectacle rarely seen in thousands of years, and the brilliance of stars from somehow distant has been twisted into a veil of strange light, casting a fog over the beast of stars.
Their massive and majestic forms stand out against the soft velvety black background of the universe,
It is a vortex of light that slowly rotates counterclockwise, and above its apex is the contemplative King of Pure White, each rotation means that hundreds of millions of tons of matter are completely transformed into energetic energy, profoundly changing the universe.
......
The small, gray-black teardrop-shaped spaceship dragged its long tail flame and rushed left and right in the chaotic asteroid belt. It had reached the maximum safe flight speed in the airspace, but in the eyes of several crew members in the cabin, this speed was not enough.
"Can you keep accelerating? Those monsters are about to catch up!"
Maude's muscles tensed, and his whole body was on the verge of bursting, maybe in the next second, he would suddenly explode into a frantic wriggling piece of flesh, just like the dozen or so people who had been thrown off the boat before.
"Impossible! What do you think this is, your lawn track? This is an asteroid belt with a level 6 danger level, and even those performative players and the best light shuttles can't run faster than this!"
Plugging himself into the operating system, leaving only one mouth to shout a few times, Jobas roared angrily, "It's all your fault! What kind of adventure game is it out of the normal sailing zone, do you only have damn white liquid left in your head? If we can go back alive, I must tell your father all this!"
Maude's father is a planetary governor who has full authority over an extremely developed industrial planet. This is also the reason why a few of them were able to drive such a new model of shuttle that is still in a test state.
It's just that now, the shuttle, which was originally developed for the next Grand Parade around the Empire, has become their graveyard if they can't get rid of the monsters chasing after them.
"It's useless to talk about this now!"
Chasing after them was a three-headed cub of space creatures that was slightly larger than the Shuttle, and the ghost knew how this super species, which only a regular army could deal with, broke through the detection net that spread throughout the entire Imperial Star Domain and broke into such a distance close to the Ecological Star Field.
All that left him was despair and remorse. If it is on a normal course, this shuttle can run at a top speed of 4,000 kilometers per second, where is there any need to be afraid of these monsters?!
To make matters worse, they couldn't reach any of the relevant departments. Whether it's the traffic authority in charge of waterway security or the security fleet that patrols every day, there is nothing but endless interference in the communication channels.
......
"Your Excellency the Governor, I think you should take a look at this report. ”
"What's wrong?"
The planetary governor of the industrial planet Tahiti, Arthur Vane, is a middle-aged gentleman who doesn't look smiling. Of course, his true age is as high as three hundred and seventy-one Tahiti years, and the standard time of the galaxy in the capital of the empire has reached nearly five hundred years.
So he had eighty-seven sons and daughters, and countless grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Maud-Wayne was the youngest child he welcomed twenty-five years ago. Therefore, his impression of this son is a little deeper.
After reading the report urgently sent by the director of the chamberlain, His Excellency the Governor of the Planet subconsciously stroked his meticulous mustache and asked his first question: "Who gave him the authority to go to the big laboratory to propose the shuttle?"
"Surrey Beckman, one of the thirty-one deputy directors of the Big Labs, is responsible for the product testing aspect, and it is in this name that the 'Black Wolf Bird' is brought out of the Big Labs. It has been dealt with in accordance with the charter. ”
"Very well," he nodded slightly, "So, Sean, tell me, what happened to my son?"
In the face of his question, the head of the chamberlain hesitated for a few seconds, and replied uncertainly: "They seem to have met ...... Space creatures?"
His first instinct was that something was wrong with his hearing system, space creatures? Hadn't those monsters been banished by the Imperial fleet into an unknown star field beyond the borders? How could such an unknown thing suddenly appear in such an unknown close to the hinterland of the Empire's territory.
"Combining all the surveillance information along the line that can still be salvaged, this is the biggest possibility. Sean replied, "What's more, twelve hours ago, fifty-five galaxies, including ours, lost contact with the Kamiyama galaxies, including Kamiyama 1 to Kamiyama 7. And in the direction they were heading, Maude happened to monitor the gravitational anomaly of an unknown waveform. ”
"What do you mean......"
"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor, it's a pity that maybe we're going to have another fight with those monsters. ”
