146. Cosmic-level natural disasters
When the Silver Surfer brazenly crossed the Ignorant Fleet's defenses, triggering a fierce alarm, the Nova Legion had entered the highest level of alert, and the Nova Supreme, as the leader, had a solemn face and a deep worry in his eyes.
There was even more noise within the Nova Legion, and the centurions hurriedly rushed to mobilize their fleets, and they couldn't even care about supporting the planet Xander, whether it was a senior officer on leave or a rookie recruit who had just graduated, all of them received the summoning order issued by the legion at the first time.
All in all, there was a tense atmosphere throughout the Nova Legion, even if the entire Kree Empire attacked and tore through the strong defense line formed by the Sandar Planet fleet.
Dressed in a dark blue uniform, the elegant and dignified Nova Supreme came to the headquarters building located on the planet Xandhar, she was originally negotiating an armistice agreement with Empress Lilandra of the Xia Empire about the armistice between the Kree Empire and Xandal, but now she hurried back and sat in the conference hall waiting for the arrival of many centurions.
"Has the news been confirmed? It stands to reason that that terrible being should not have appeared at this time period. ”
Centurion Roman Day, who happened to be on vacation, habitually touched his increasingly bald head, and his tone was a little incredulous.
"Roman is right, according to our calculations, the Devourer of Planets should still be dormant, or roaming in an uninhabited planetary belt."
Another centurion named Admox nodded.
As he uttered the title, the hall fell silent for a moment, and everyone's faces were filled with unease and fear.
The Devourer of Planets, an ancient life, a cosmic scourge.
In the archives recorded by the Nova Legion, the existence of the Planet Devourer is difficult to trace, many people say that this ancient life was born with the Big Bang, and others say that the other party is a combination of the consciousness of the mechanical insect swarm, and no one knows the exact answer anyway.
Even the Elders of the Universe may not be able to figure it out, all they know is the name of the Devourer of Planets, the name that has long been forgotten, Galatus.
Other than that, there is no more information to be found, the other party is an ancient life that is older than the Celestial Race, which in itself makes many civilized races awe-inspiring and regarded as gods.
Compared to the fame of the Devourer of Planets, the madness of Thanos pales in comparison, a terrifying existence that relies on the vast energy of devouring planets to sustain its own survival, and can be called the ultimate nightmare of every civilization.
"I didn't want to believe that it was true."
Nova Supreme sighed and swiped the tabletop, projecting a clear picture in the center.
In the background, in the deep and dark void, a barren planet appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and then a huge shadow covered it.
There was no body, no sound, just a huge tide of shadows with no end in sight, and an extremely strong storm of energy surging in it, and a cloud of dust-like matter contained the cosmic power that destroyed the planet.
"Devourer of Planets?"
Someone couldn't help but exclaim.
They watched as the barren planet, like a withered seed, lost its vitality little by little, and the earth dried up in an instant, cracking huge gaps.
The entire planet was shrouded in a huge shadow, and with a loud bang, crimson lava poured up, the ground collapsed, and the plates crumbled, like a terrible scene of the end of the world.
It was as if in this short period of time, the entire planet had been tormented and ravaged hundreds of billions of times, and shocking huge fissures were all over the surface, boiling like boiling core lava, spewing out red-red magma, and the continental plates were torn apart like cracked porcelain.
The rumbling sound was deafening, like the planet let out a near-death wail, and then disappeared into a vacuum, and finally the entire planet completely collapsed and disintegrated under the pull of the huge gravitational pull!
For a while, the conference hall was silent for a long time.
It is unimaginable that this terrible natural disaster like the collapse of the sky and the earth is actually just the eating behavior of an ancient life.
"We have to respond."
Nova Supreme's expression was serious.
Once the Devourer of Planets fully awakens from starvation, it may be another catastrophe that cannot be reversed.
Although it is said that this ancient life usually chooses uninhabited barren planets, in the materials recorded by the Nova Legion, the living planets that gave birth to civilization have also had this kind of unfortunate experience, and there are not a few, so it should not be taken lightly.
Like the home planet of the Rufmund civilization, it is the most typical example, the Rufmund people, who originally worshipped the iron-blooded dictatorship and had strong military strength, suffered this terrible disaster and fell directly from the higher civilization to the homeless outcasts.
"Can you tell the trajectory of the Devourer of Planets? Generally, this ancient life would send its own emissaries to choose planets that met the criteria for food. ”
The centurion named Richard spoke up.
He looked at the silver point of light frozen in the projection, and said in a deep voice, "If we can determine the search route of the Star Devourer, we can lead the Planet Devourer to the uninhabited planetary belt, minimizing casualties and losses." ”
Nova Supreme's eyes lit up, the Devourer of Planets would not look for food on their own, but would send messengers to do this kind of thing, so this was the only chance for the Nova Legion.
"The Devourer of Planets has four emissaries, and this one is supposed to be the Silver Surfer."
Nova Supreme gives the answer.
The four Star-Swallowers, Stardust, the Flame Emperor, the Tyrant, and the surfer known as the Silver Shadow.
They are all endowed with great powers by the Devourers of Planets, serving as food for them in finding suitable planets, like servants.
"Not long ago, the silver shadow swept through the Void of Knowledge, and based on the trajectory of his travel, this time he seems to have chosen the Nine Star Domains."
Centurion Roman said with a deep groan.
His eyes were a little strange, and everyone knew that the earth was a rising star among all civilizations.
Whether it is occupying the land of ignorance, accumulating a lot of resources, or the sentinel who blasted the space fleet with his bare hands, people no longer dare to despise the earth as much as before.
"No matter how powerful an individual is, it can't resist the Devourer of Planets."
Nova Supreme shook his head with a wry smile.
She understood what Centurion Roman meant, and now that Earth was rising rapidly, it was ignorantly neutral and did not participate in the war conflict between the Kree Empire and the planet Xander.
However, Ronan, the consul of the Kree Empire, has had an unknown secret cooperation with Sean after all, and instead of waiting for the other party to become strong and become an enemy in the future, it is better to use the Planet Devourer to solve this future trouble.
"The Nova Legion will not use such despicable means, even if we are on the side of Xandar and the void is ignorant of the possibility of becoming an adversary."
Nova Supreme hesitated for a moment, vetoing the rather tempting proposal.
The Devourer of Planets is not just aimed at one planet, and in a state of hunger and thirst, even if the nine star fields are reduced to nothing, it will not be able to satisfy this ancient life.
"Inform the ignorance of this news, hoping that the man known as the 'Sentinel' will survive this disaster."
The Nova Supreme's face was heavy, there was only so much she could do, the Star Swallowing Envoy had already gone to the Nine Star Domains, and it was too late to stop it at this time.
