Chapter 250: The Past of the Grey Devourer
The Gray Mother stuck out her tongue, licked her silver-gray lips, and said in a sweet and glutinous voice: "It's okay to come, take advantage of the situation to solve all of you, and from now on the earth will be the home of our Gray Devourer." ”
Before the words fell, a light curtain as high as the dome suddenly flashed on the throne behind the gray mother, and the light and shadow on it changed, revealing a huge and clear image in an instant.
It was in the boundless dark cosmic space, the light passed extremely fast, one galaxy after another, and the nebulae were swept by rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, a gray liquid planet suddenly appeared on the light curtain, which was a planet completely covered by gray sea water like mud.
The scene continued to move forward, and in an instant it rushed into the planet's atmosphere, and then directly disappeared into the gray ocean. Immediately, a strange alien world appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
But in the deep sea, fluorescent shellfish and starfish spread across the seabed, and the peaks formed by unknown giant creatures stand on the bottom of the sea, like skyscrapers, and countless marine creatures flow through them, which is clearly a magnificent and prosperous underwater city.
As the screen progresses, everyone is surprised to discover that the main creature in the underwater city is the jellyfish-like alien creature just now, the soft-bodied UF that originated from the star λ Perseus.
They inhabit the edifices of the biological peaks, drive squid-like "cars", carry passengers or goods to trains with huge ribbon-like soft creatures larger than trains, and manipulate crustaceans larger than trucks to swing giant crows for excavation or construction.
All the tools and equipment of these jellyfish xloom worlds seem to be alive, using a strange shellfish sea creature docked with transparent crystals as a computer, and the leaves of a sea plant that can change size and shape at will as clothing.
However, whether it is a building, a transportation vehicle, or a variety of tools, although they are living creatures, they all present a state of mechanical rigidity and order, and even the jellyfish XVCs that control these living creatures, although they can manipulate them flexibly, also appear to be as standardized as machines to almost no difference.
It was more like a zombie than a machine. At this moment, the picture continued to advance, directly into the brain of a jellyfish monster, only to see that the core area of the brain of the jellyfish monster suddenly appeared a gray spot the size of a fingernail, and then the picture was enlarged, so a small gray area was actually formed by countless dense and small microorganisms.
"This is us, the great Grey Devourer civilization, in your human terms, a civilization of microbes!"
The gray mother's voice sounded at the right time, as if to explain the picture on the light curtain behind her: "That's right, our civilization uses all living organisms as tools and carriers, from the entire city to the tiny devices of electronic devices, we can invade the interior of the organism and gradually transform it into a species suitable for our civilization." ”
"After more than a billion long years, we, who were originally as small as dust mustard, have gradually evolved into the overlord of the entire gray devouring mother star! However, no matter how glorious the civilization is, it can't compete with the passage of time, and the resources of the home planet have gradually been depleted, but our gray devouring civilization is immortal, and we have started an interstellar colonization expedition. ”
With the aria-like tone of the Gray Mother, the scene on the light curtain behind her changed again, and the giant creature ships that shone with gray light broke through the sea and flew straight into the starry sky.
The starship of the gray whale-like creature traveled an unknown number of light-years to finally find a planet that was a mixture of dark green and dark purple.
"π Centauri, the second home planet of our Grey Devouring Civilization." The gray mother's voice sounded again at the right time, like the background narration of a documentary.
The green-purple planet is littered with muddy swamps, and countless giant slug-like molluscs breed on the planet's surface, and they are the native overlords of this muddy swamp planet.
"After tens of millions of years of long and difficult interstellar travel, we have finally arrived on another inhabitable planet. The Giant Slug is also the best choice for our Grey Devourer Race. Unfortunately, the star in the galaxy to which the planet belongs has reached its old age, and in a few million years it will be a helium flash and a red giant. In other words, we only have a maximum of two or three million years......"
The gray mother's voice gradually became desolate: "As a microbial civilization, we need a long time to adapt to the new environment and parasitic giant mollusks, and then use the new environment to build a new civilization structure, but these millions of times are simply not enough......"
"So, we had to spend nearly a million years gathering the resources of π planets, plundering a large number of slugs, and then set out on another journey, this time with the goal of ...... Your Earth! ”
With the sound of the gray mother, the images on the light curtain began to flash again, and several giant ships with changed appearances rushed out of the atmosphere again, aiming for the distant galaxy...... The blue jewel-like planet.
"But unfortunately, due to the urgency of time and lack of preparation, our interstellar voyage suffered several catastrophes, and the last one that landed on Earth was only the last lone reconnaissance ship."
"But it's nothing, as a microbial civilization, perseverance is our biggest characteristic, there are more than 500 billion of us alive on just one reconnaissance ship, even if there are 10 billion left, no, 5 billion of us, we will still rebuild the great Gray Devouring Civilization!"
The picture on the light curtain changed again, a lonely small flying saucer slowly landed on the earth in the late Cretaceous period, and groups of ignorant one-horned white dragons stared up blankly at the aliens falling from the sky.
"Here we are, this blue planet, the perfect home, we quickly selected the best parasite species, the dinosaur people who have initially possessed intelligence - the one-horned white dragon clan!"
A messenger manipulated by the Grey Devouring Civilization began to appear on the light curtain, writhing the body of a slug-like troll, dressed in shining clothes, and slowly walked out of their scout ship with a wave of tentacles. The dinosaurs of the one-horned white dragon clan prostrate on the ground one after another, as if they were greeting the gods.
Next, the giant slug man began to guide the dinosaurs out of ignorance, teaching them science and technology, and brought the dinosaur people into the era of civilization in just a hundred thousand years.
"Hehe," as if sensing everyone's incomprehension, the Gray Mother smiled inappropriately, "You must be wondering, aren't we going to colonize the Gray Devouring Civilization?" Isn't it to parasitize in their bodies, and treat all living things as manipulable machines, how can they be kind enough to help those dinosaur people? ”
"Hehe, in fact, the reason is as Fang just said, as a fragile microbial civilization, every time we survive in a new planetary environment, we must go through a slow process to adapt to the new environment, and at the same time, it will take longer to breed and control the brains of dinosaur people and adapt to the genes of dinosaur people."
"Finally we are close to succeeding, and when everything is about to be ready, our killer weapon that will devour civilization has been released, and you humans call it the Z virus! You can understand that this virus is nothing more than a deletion program to empty the dinosaur people's brains, so that we can implant ourselves into the gray devouring civilization. ”
At this time, there was a tragic situation on the entire surface of the earth, countless dinosaurs were hit by the Z virus, either died tragically, or were gradually turned into zombie dinosaurs by the Z virus, or gradually invaded the brain by the microorganisms that devoured civilization, and many dinosaurs also appeared in the inner center of the brain on the scene of the light curtain.
"Just as the revival of our Grey Devouring Race was about to materialize, an asteroid fell mercilessly, destroying everything we had worked so hard to do in an instant...... The ecosystem is collapsing, the climate is changing dramatically, and we have to go into dormant ......"
The gray mother's voice gradually became sad, and the light curtain behind her began to appear on the light curtain of an asteroid skimming the atmosphere and falling directly to the earth, which was equivalent to a violent explosion of hundreds of thousands of nuclear bombs exploding together in an instant. The earth's crust was directly shattered, tens of thousands of volcanoes began to erupt violently, and the entire earth was covered with volcanoes, magma and poisonous gases.
Thick volcanic ash and giant mushroom clouds obscured the entire atmosphere, and most of the creatures on the earth were wiped out by this catastrophe, even the one-horned dinosaur people who parasitized the gray devouring civilization. Only a handful of one-horned dinosaurs escaped into the depths of the alien ruins and went into hiding.
Soon, the Ice Age came, and the cold and ice covered everything, and the snow and ice buried the ruins of the gray civilization, and the picture on the light curtain was completely still.
