Living Souls

The term comes from a technological artifact of the Alchemy Dragons, which extract the soul of a person, erase consciousness, and place it in bronze (or other metal vessels) to be used as an alarm or simple access control system (like the living spirit at the bronze gate under the Three Gorges Dam in Dragon 1).

The living spirit has lost the mind it once had as a human being, and only the 'programming' that has been set up.

This is the living soul

"Hmm... What's the situation with your pile of bronze art? ”

After sending the [Fetal Angel] to Bubbles, Hideyoshi put away his big toy, carried the sleeping Zero, and returned to his own world.

Then, he saw dozens of different bronzes in the hall, as well as the Black Howling Dragon, which was firing more bronzes in the center of the hall.

"Be a living spirit~"

"Living Souls...?"

Hideyoshi remembered for a moment what a living spirit was, and then looked at the green lantern floating in the air.

"Uh... Where did you get so many souls? ”

"I already had some inventory, and I just went to destroy a certain perverted organization, and the people are still hanging below, go and see?" Black Howling Dragon said. "Hanging in every sense of the word~"

"I'm not that interested..."

"You're done?" Black Howling Dragon asked.

"It's over, it's really cool to be crushed by high-tech~"

"Are you going to the next apostle?"

"I'm not interested for a while, let it go, how about you?"

"I'm going to make some artwork to adjust my mood or something~"

"Then it doesn't matter over there, huh?"

"No matter, if you don't go over there once, you won't blow it up~"

．．． A certain distressed EVA world...

60,000 light-years away from the galaxy where the Black Howling Dragon is located

Woohoo!

Zeratul's car, the Void Seekers, and two other armed cargo ships sailed out of the Leap Dimension to this unfamiliar star field.

"The transition has ended, scanning the status of your sector." Zeratul was familiar with the computer in front of him. "Check all aspects of the spacecraft, the condition of the spacecraft modules."

At this moment, an unencrypted message was captured and transmitted to a light screen in front of Zeratul.

"Huh? A copy of the navigation coordinates? ”

At this moment, the captains of the other two ships sent a communication.

"Dark Sect, shall we go and see?"

“．．． Don't worry, let me drive the Void Seekers to take a look. Zeratul said. There are precious books on your ship, and there is no room for error. ”

"Follow your will."

With that, the departing team of the Void Seekers with a faint green glow began to follow the coordinates indicated by the navigation information.

Dozens of minutes later...

"This is..."

In front of Zeratul was a large, free-standing space station that radiated light in the universe and attracted the surrounding ships.

At the same time, countless advertising and sales messages jumped onto the light screen in front of Zeratul.

"One, a stand-alone commercial space station?"

After a moment of silence, Zeratul sent a message to the armed transports in the distance, signaling them to dock at the space station together for repairs.

The Kamo Stars

A short mammal, usually between 0.5m and 0.8m tall, with the title of "Cosmic Merchant Race".

Their social situation is plutocratic – a parliamentary top leadership made up of multiple large conglomerates.

Their small stature meant they weren't suited for combat, but their strong brains allowed them to excel in business and research.

They are second to none among the cosmic civilizations they know, and have organized and established the [Peace Council], inviting different civilizations to participate in the struggle for peace and common progress.

Sixty percent of their army is outsourced to the Morse Empire, which has been friends for generations; It has established the largest commercial space station in the known universe, and has the top three scientific and technological prowess of any known cosmic civilization.

The space station where Zeratu and the others are located is called the [Golden Port], because a huge galaxy with huge resources and multiple habitable planets was discovered not far from the space station, and for a while, all kinds of spaceships flocked to it.

And at this moment, the supreme person in charge of this space, Momoka, is entertaining Zeratu and others in the highest-level living room.

"Welcome, you from afar... Mage? Momoka looked at the outfits of Zeratul and several Templars, and some didn't know what to say. Or a sacrifice? ”

"In any case, welcome to the Golden Port."

"Do you have magic here?" Hearing Momoka's name, Zeratul asked.

"Yes, but there are no mages like you in the known area." Momoka replied. "To be precise, there is not even a mage apprentice"

In the cosmic region where the Camos are located, the concept of spells was only discovered and confirmed to be true decades ago, and it was only about a few years ago that the first person who successfully cast a spell - an experimenter successfully released the oldest version of the [Flame Hand] after ten years of training.

Then, because of the usefulness of spells and the impact on technology, research into the possibilities of magic began to stop indefinitely, and countless grand ideas came to a standstill.

And the appearance of Zeratu gave Momoka a huge surprise.

A civilization that uses both magic and technology? It was a huge surprise.

"I don't know where you guys came here?" Momoka asked Zeratul and the others.

“．．． In order to find a planet. Zeratul said.

"Star... Ball? There was something strange on Momoka's face.

"Volda," Zeratul said. "Is there such a planet in the star field you know?"

"Volda?!" Momoka's voice jerked up an octave. "You know that Doomsday Prophecy, too?"

As soon as Momoka spoke, the room fell silent.

"You guys here... You know?! ”

"Actually, we've found something like a teleportation device here three hundred years ago and parsed it." Momoka said. "It's a bit bizarre, but we still sent a joint exploration fleet to find the planet with the so-called [Doomsday Prophecy]."

"However, when we get to the possible location, there are no planets..."

"It was an [intergalactic space], a blank area, with nothing but a small amount of dust and asteroids."

"And after that, it became known as the [Blank Scam.]."

"You mean, there's nothing in that place?"

"Yes, where have the detection fleets of the various empires been for three years, almost every area has been swept over."

Immediately, Zeratul fell into deep thought.

"Dark Sect, we're next..."

"The plan doesn't change, we're still going to that coordinates." Zeratul spoke to the Templar behind him, and then to Momoka in front of him. "We need a route to that place."

"That's fine, it's not a secret thing after all, and there are still people wandering around there." Momoka said. "But if you want to get there in the shortest way, you need to pass through several imperial territories, and you need several communication cards..."

"I can help you testify with our empire's correspondence, but it's hard to say about other empires."

"Thank you very much." Zeratul said, uploading a file to Momoka. "It's the pay."

"Basic knowledge of magic." Zeratul looked at Momoka, who was shocked, and said. "That's what I can give you about magic at this stage."

"Ten... Thank you very much! ”

"Our ship needs some supplies as well, and besides, we need more information about this sector and the currency in circulation." Zeratul said to Momoka. "These costs are calculated separately."

"Thank you very much for your generosity!"

As a result, Zeratul's first communication with other space races on his new journey has come to a successful conclusion.

Not only did it get important news, but it also laid a good foundation for the possible establishment of diplomatic relations between the two ethnic groups in the future.

However, in another universe, some changes are quietly taking place.

[Blank scam] coordinates

In the pitch-black cosmic space, a trace of purple aura floated out of nowhere, and then a spatial rift was violently torn open.

Aang!

With a long, heavy roar, a huge Void Giant Whale, through the rift, appeared in this space.

The rift quickly shrank after a few seconds, becoming the size of a human fist.

It didn't disappear, but slowly, releasing a purple aura.

And on the other side of the rift, a green planet looms.
