Chapter 6: War of the Old Gods
Through repeated research experiments, the Ancestral Universe scientists found that if you want to cross the miniature wormhole many times, the requirements for the traverser are very strict, and you must select people with a high degree of "quantum physique" to succeed, otherwise they will be easily assimilated by the miniature wormhole and decomposed into atomic and molecular structures.
After selecting tens of thousands of volunteers, the Ancestral Universe began to explore the Multiverse. In the past 100 years, a total of countless universes have been discovered that there are intelligent life forms and human beings, among which the degree of civilization and development direction of each universe are extremely different, including the science and technology universe, the alchemy universe, the cultivation universe, the primordial universe, the magic universe, the god universe and so on.
And some of these civilizations are not even less advanced than the Ancestral Universe, but they have not found a way to travel through parallel universes.
After collecting all kinds of information, the ancestral scientists began to study and analyze, and tried to help some low-level technology universes improve their scientific and technological level.
Suddenly being endowed with a high-tech universe is like a child getting a real gun, and the end result is either shooting himself or hurting others. Even some universes want to directly attack the Ancestral Universe after suddenly obtaining advanced technology, of course, the result is obvious.
In this way, many of the civilizations that first came into contact with the first human beings were destroyed, either by internal wars or by external invasions.
Having learned the lesson, the Patriarchs began to examine themselves, and their initial purpose was to help development rather than destruction. So in order to avoid the same tragedy, the Archaeopteryx began to reduce their direct contact with other intelligent beings in the universe. Instead, he went to the shadows to help parallel universes, eliminate hidden dangers, and promote the development process of multiverses. ”
Xinghe still had a calm voice when he said this, but Lu Buping was already about to get a headache from this huge amount of information.
"It's still a super organization across the universe...... It is not known whether the right to cancel the one-vote veto is possible with the one-vote veto. Lu Buping's brain had already begun to think wildly.
"Time was postponed until four years ago, when a new world was discovered, everything changed.
That new world, known as the Chaos Universe, is home to a group of terrifying creatures, most of which are indescribable monsters: some are thousands of meters tall, and the whole body resembles an enlarged version of an amoeba protozoa, and its lower body is attached to the surface by countless tentacles. Some of them squirm like mud, and their bodies are covered with scarlet eyes, staring at you all the time.
And their leader is accompanied by an endless number of formless acolytes, each of whom is a powerful monster. Its essence cannot be described, cannot be understood, cannot be analyzed. Called the "Old Gods" by other universes! ””
"Wait a minute!" Lu Buping urgently stopped, "I have goosebumps when I say it, how can this old god seem to have heard of it somewhere......"
After thinking for a while, Lu Buping seemed to suddenly remember: "Isn't this a monster in the "Cthulhu Mythos" system, although the form is different, but this so-called horror that only exists in nightmares, as well as unspeakable forms and characteristics, should be the Cthulhu system." ”
Listening to Lu Buping's words, Super AI Xinghe's expression did not fluctuate at all: "That's right, as I said just now, parallel universes affect each other, and how long the chaotic universe exists is no longer verifiable, and it is normal for the chaotic world to have an impact on you."
According to the data, multi-universe humans mostly use code names for the creatures of that world. The Cthulhu system you are talking about should be named after your world. ”
Without waiting for Lu Buping to reply, Xinghe continued: "This group of monsters called the Old Gods is different from most intelligent creatures. The first is that their life forms are varied, and among the hundreds of old gods that have been observed so far, very few of them have the same form.
And in essence, they can't be simply divided into silicon-based creatures, carbon-based creatures, elemental life, etc., and some old gods even rely on certain concepts to exist, such as "imagination", "fear", etc., which is rare in other worlds.
Secondly, the evolution direction of these monsters is also strange, and some have pure and powerful bodies, which can crush asteroids with their bare hands. Some can infect other lifeforms, creating an endless army. Some are even able to carve out low-latitude space on their own and pull people into it.
All kinds of monsters have broken through the limits of human imagination, and even if you have seen them in person, it is difficult to describe them in words.
When the Archaeopteryx first arrived in the Chaos Universe and observed the Old Gods, the Old Gods also discovered miniature wormholes. These monsters had no intention of communicating with humans, and instantly wiped out human explorers, attempting to cross back into other universes through miniature wormholes.
By the time the Ancestral Humans found out, tragedy had already occurred, and the powers of the Old Gods had spread like a virus to thousands of parallel universes, corrupting and controlling them, and causing varying degrees of corrupt control.
Because the abilities of the old gods were completely different, the impact on the world was also different. Some have caused the end of the world, some have enslaved the minds of intelligent beings to become their own believers, and some have spread viruses that have made humans instinctual walking dead......"
"What did you say?"
Hearing this, Lu Buping's expression became hideous: "Don't you want to say that the world I live in is because of the old gods that it became what it is now!" “
"Bastard!"
Lu Buping felt dizzy, as if he couldn't stand: "Four years ago, no wonder, this damn world only became this fucking shit four years ago!" Lu Buping scolded fiercely, clasped his hands, and let go for a while.
smiled bitterly: "Forget it, what's the use of me being angry here, it's not something I can manage, you go on, and then what's wrong." “
Xinghe continued, "Just as the Old Gods were wreaking havoc, humanity finally launched a counterattack. The first to discover the situation was the Ancestral Humans, after all, the miniature wormholes in the Chaos Universe were opened by the Ancestral Humans themselves, and they thought that they would take full responsibility.
As the pinnacle of the development of scientific and technological power in thousands of universes, the Ancestral Universe has mobilized various technological weapons to fight against the Old Gods. However, it is limited by the limitations of large weapons that cannot pass through wormholes and the need to match the "quantum constitution".
Weapons of large-scale destruction could not bring out the Ancestral Universe at all, but the arming of individual soldiers and strong individual combat power played a vital role. The Ancestral Humans had very few men who could actually be used in battle, and they were defeated in the confrontation.
At the critical moment, the Ancestor Human Race united the humans and intelligent beings of other high-end worlds, the elven mages of the high magic world, the monks who flew with the sword in the Xiuzhen world, and the robot army controlled by the Zhi Brain, etc. Such a coalition of high-end combat forces selected from thousands of parallel universes has finally driven most of the old gods back to their original chaotic world.
However, there are still a very small number of monsters and their subordinates scattered in various parallel universes, and there are monster remnants in the previously invaded world. However, the combined army is also extremely consumed in the war, and can do nothing to clean up the remnants of the monsters and the safety of the parallel world.
So, in order to clean up the remnants of the old gods, maintain the management of the parallel universe. The coalition forces gathered huge resources to create the "Multiverse Parallel World Management Office", also known as the Apocalyptic Management Office. Find qualified people in the severely damaged parallel universe, and hire them to become managers and executors, of course, they can also be called mercenaries.
The job of the manager is to shuttle through the various worlds to complete the tasks assigned by the apocalyptic management, mainly including fighting, protecting, collecting, exploring, and so on. The goal is to ensure the normal functioning of each parallel universe, to avoid mass casualties among humanity, and to destroy the remnants of the old gods.
Whenever you achieve your goals, you can get rewards that can be exchanged for equipment and strengthen yourself, and of course, you can also use the rewards to enjoy life as much as you want, and you can get all kinds of entertainment and resources in thousands of parallel universes.
I can assure you that the remuneration and treatment offered by parallel management is unimaginably superior......."
Xinghe's words stopped here, and a pair of silver-white eyes looked at Lu Buping without blinking, and the deep and bottomless eyes seemed to penetrate Lu Buping's heart, as if he was waiting for him to say the word agree.
The big man who had not spoken all this time also followed to help: "Little brother, I know these things sound a little incredible, and I was as confused as you when I first heard it."
You may not believe it, but I was skinny and fell when the wind blew, like a bean sprout. But since I joined the Apocalyptic Management Center, you see that my waist is no longer sore, my legs don't hurt, and I don't have to struggle to jump five meters in one breath. As he spoke, he jumped up twice, as if to confirm his words. However, this sci-fi armor and strong figure have nothing to do with the bean sprouts he said.
"......" Lu Buping didn't know what expression to make now, but he felt that the person and AI in front of him seemed to have become a pre-apocalyptic southern MLM master, and he was discussing with you the country's support for the South-to-North Water Diversion Project in the last second, and the next second he asked you to contact your family to join the organization. I'm afraid that I will hear words like 1040 Sunshine Project in the next moment. If it weren't for the fear of being put down by the big man as soon as he turned around, Lu Buping would be able to turn around and leave now.
"So, can I say no?" Lu Buping asked softly.
After hearing this, the smiling face that was still funny just now seemed to freeze, and then slowly recovered into an indifferent face. After a burst of rapid red light, the armor on his left arm split apart, and a columnar object was aimed at Lu Buping.
