January 13, 364 Muyao Day

Darkness has finally arrived, and what we had hoped for was a ray of light.

Everything has a cause and effect, and it may be just used as a tool by the devil, but it can't get rid of the disgusting blood.

Terry did what he expected, and instead of the investigators and accident team, the Minotaur sent mercenaries from the True Guard.

They didn't listen to any explanation, and they came up and shot Treison with a single shot. Ed's head, and slaughtered everyone present.

Thankfully, some of the miners heeded Terry's warning, setting up barriers at several intersections from Rainbow Street to the bar, and engaging them with weapons taken from the base's armory.

The battle continued, but I was not like them, I had already resigned myself to my fate, but I didn't know what else I could do now, and I was hiding in my room alone, shaking terribly.

It's only a matter of time, these True Guard guys are going to kill us all, and the only thing I want to do at the moment is hide this diary.

Jenny, my darling, grow up well, Daddy will always watch over you......

……

When he learned of his brother's death, Lucas was silent, although he had already estimated such a situation, but after being confirmed by the other party, his eyes were still dark, he still stood straight, and the expression on his face did not change in any way.

"You see, it's this unfortunate joy and anger that makes me make a fatal mistake in your psychological assessment, the Taylor family, so many sons, why did you send you alone." 'Steven' shook his head and said, "Then since we both understand each other, we don't need to put on this layer of skin anymore." ”

On the high platform, this smiling Steven began to have terrifying changes all over his body immediately after these words, his hair, clothes, and even his skin suddenly faded as if burned by flames, and then revealed his true face, only to see her soft facial features, skin like snow, wearing a close-fitting armor like gold and iron, she smiled at Lucas after revealing her true face, it was really peerless, charming, full of human feminine charm.

"It's not you, either." Lucas told her with a blank face.

"Of course." The mysterious woman nodded playfully. "To deal with stupid things, you have to use the form of stupid things, I think this is a very simple truth."

"You're an ascender?" Lucas asked.

"It's a stupid name for you humans, but it's not outrageously wrong, the Ascended cannot survive in this dimension for so long, but I am ruled by the Eternal Land."

"As one of the fools, you ruined our whole plan, but on the other hand...... What you did just now made you a hero. She said, holding her head high.

"So out of respect, you will know who I really am, and I will answer all your questions before you die."

She said with one hand on her chest, bowed, and began to introduce herself before Lucas could come to his senses.

"My name is Mut, and I am one of the doppelgangers of the last rulers of the Osiris dynasty...... "She was interrupted by a voice from Lucas, who had no interest in her identity.

"You say I'm a hero?" He just asked, puzzled.

"Well, even if it is, although the process and the result may be a hundred times more painful than before, you have indeed given your race, and the other chaotic and inferior civilizations that fill this half of the galaxy, a chance to survive for a while." Mt told him coldly.

"You mean...... The ...... just now" Lucas was shocked, and couldn't help but point to the tarnished altar not far away.

"That's right, the Gargle Factor Generator is the most powerful and controversial weapon invented by our clan in the battle of a thousand clans, it helped us win that protracted war, but it also inevitably accelerated the trend of our clan from prosperity to decline."

"Weapons?" Lucas couldn't help but frown.

"The ultimate weapon designed with the goal of exterminating all carbon-based life, the speed of light starts at the speed of light and increases exponentially, and the effective coverage can reach nearly a hundred galaxies, and in this quadrant you are in, except for the non-carbon-based and the very few races that have been screened, will be spared, and it will be almost a snap of a finger from the time it is released to the time it is cleared."

"Rest assured, you've ruined the only generator, and ruined my original plan." Noticing the strangeness in Lucas's eyes, Mt spoke bluntly to him. "I did just call you a hero, didn't I? This is the highest honor for us, and of course, perhaps there may be other meanings in the hypocritical vocabulary of your people. She said sarcastically.

"But why Steven?" Lucas asked. "Why did you choose me again?" He looked at Mutter.

"Because your brothers have a clearer genetic profile than the rest of the planet, this will improve the fusion of the gargling factor to ensure that this weapon works optimally." Mut replied.

"I'm asking why we...... You can ......," Lucas wondered.

"Start it yourself?" Mutt shook his head slightly.

"This involved some disagreements about future intervention in my clan at the time...... In your language, huh...... Politics, I guess that's an apt description. She didn't seem to bother to explain this, and seeing that Lucas didn't understand, she had to add slightly.

"The debate over the use of the Gargle Factor Generator in the future seems to be endless, with one side firmly in favor of implementation and one side completely disagreeing, and in the end it has become the ridiculous way in which the control key and the main body of the generator are stored in two separate systems that are not adjacent to each other, and if it is to be activated, the individual of the target race must make the choice to do it yourself, and it is up to you to do the work to self-destruct."

"Ourselves?" Lucas obviously couldn't understand, and who else? Will they choose to completely exterminate their own race?

"There are people like that, in your lowly and barbaric society where the individual is supreme...... But unfortunately, here, there is none. Mut shook his head and smiled bitterly. Cadmus's sample of specimens is simply too small. It's hard for me to find anyone who can be directly usable, and the people who can get here have to pass your ridiculous psychological evaluations, don't you say, it's a bit of a small use, so that I don't even need a single sociopath. So not long ago, I conducted a psychological intervention experiment with some members of your first base, but I finally gave up because the controlled individuals could not meet the 'autonomous consciousness' clause that was set up back then. ”

Cadmus Massacre Night...... Hearing this, Lucas couldn't help but think of the diary he found in Steven's dormitory.

The foreshadowing of the murder of hundreds of millions of living beings set up hundreds of millions of years ago, but the ghost was destroyed by himself in the end, and Lucas, who finally understood everything, secretly called it a fluke in his heart at this time.

He didn't know anything about it and didn't think much of it before making a decision. He had the stubborn blood of the Taylor family in his veins, and despair, fear, and unimaginable pressure gave him the courage to fall into this shocking mystery without losing any of his mind, he just kept reminding himself that whatever they wanted me to do, I would do the opposite.

His heart was relieved, and he was glad that he had inadvertently saved so many lives, and that state of mind was finally evident in his emotions, and Mutter could clearly detect the subtle changes in the supremacy of his face.

"Don't be complacent, hero, nothing has changed, you've just complicated something that seemed simple." There was still a faint mockery in her tone. "Let's go over there and take a look." She pointed to the corner of the platform.

Lucas didn't know what to do, and walked in the direction of the other man's finger, and at this time the fog dissipated, and his vision became extremely clear, and when he looked around blankly and finally stared blankly at everything below, he couldn't help but turn pale, and then stiffened his body.

At his feet, he could look at the strange world that had just been obscured by the disappearance of the lake of gold, and he couldn't help but be surprised to find that this underground cavern was not only huge in size, but also had unparalleled depth.

He looked out and saw a golden light, illuminating a single piece of this mysterious world. The place where he stood was suspended in the air, and the countless towers below it were imposing, and various buildings of strange style were embedded in the walls of the cave, spewing mist-like gas and rumbling loudly.

In the huge space, hundreds of small boats flew in the air, roaming around like worker ants coming out of their nests, and on the cascading platforms built around the towers, golden objects of different shapes were moving, looking like large ships about to start their engines.

At this moment, Lucas finally understood that Cadmus had detected a rich deposit of ethiotinctite, which was just a shell on the outside, and it seemed that they had hollowed out the interior of the entire planet and turned it into a time capsule spanning hundreds of millions of years, and hidden in it was a huge ordnance factory and a staggering number of ancient fleets!

"This is the true legacy of our people to this terrible future." At some point, Mt had already walked up to Lucas's side, and she pointed to the distance and smiled lightly. "An automated factory built only for war, capable of producing self-aware Amun-class warships and staggering Salkat assault boats, which are outdated military technology for our people, but still be a step ahead of your sad times. That is to say, what is in front of you alone is enough to destroy your entire world. ”

"You see, whether it's a quick knife to seal the throat or a blunt knife to sharpen slowly, I think everyone will choose the former without hesitation, and your feat just now obviously deprives them of the option they love." Mit looked at the shocked 'spoiler' with satisfaction.

"Do you regret it? Lucas? If you had just done what I said, you humans wouldn't have to go through all this. She said with a smile.

"Regrets? What do you regret? Lucas turned around when he heard this, and Humut didn't think it was the same, and now his face was calm again. You have a fleet, and the Silver Alliance also has a fleet, rather than endure humiliation and steal life, it is better to fight and die, survive in adversity, and be strong when you are strong, for human beings, you obviously don't know much. ”

"Really? As a civilization that has just developed crappy space technology, how did your ancestors end up here? Nut smiled mysteriously.

"You mean...... It's you ......" Lucas was shocked to hear this, but Mutter smiled and nodded at the moment.

"Regarding this life cleansing in the ninth quadrant, it actually began a long time ago, you humans were lucky to have escaped the last round of extermination, and this complete fall can be regarded as an end." Mutter noted.

"But we did, didn't we? And maybe this time it could have been done better. Lucas thought for a moment and said with a smile.

"Do better?" Mit laughed at this point. "You don't know anything, idiot! Without the troubles of the fool whom you worship as gods, you will be useless. ”

"You mean the feather god?" Lucas immediately remembered his mother and the legends she had told to her brothers about the deity when she had been sitting in the shade of a tree at home in her childhood.

So everything is true? It turns out that the feather god really exists?

But Mutter had already put away her smile by this time, and she raised one hand slightly, and Lucas immediately found himself unable to move, and his whole body was completely imprisoned.

"I'm also annoyed by saying so much, and the little respect I have for being a hero has come to an end." She shrugged at Lucas.

"Wait." Lucas hurriedly shouted to stop it.

"Why, do you want to beg for mercy? There's no such option, hero. Mutt laughed. From the moment you enter this ruin, you're dead. ”

"I know." Lucas smiled wryly.

"I just want to ask one last question." He pleaded.

"The last question? Well, I did say to answer any questions you may have. Mutter nodded impatiently.

"The key, and the voice in my ear......" Lucas stared at Mit and paused, who was visibly more impatient.

"And then?" She frowned.

The voice...... He...... Is it Steven or not? Lucas asked.

"Yes." Mutter's short reply.

"Could it be...... He's alive? ”

"No, he's dead, and before you came here, he wanted relief, and I gave him what he wanted." Mutter said expressionlessly. "You should guess that what I said to you before pretending to be him was not a lie, he was resurrected and died again and again in the illusion I weaved for him, but what I didn't expect was that he was able to master the ability to put part of his consciousness in that key during this time."

"Now that the key is destroyed, your brother's body is a part of this place, like all the ancient races we have conquered." She pointed to the glittering metal beneath Lucas's feet, and Lucas immediately understood what she meant.

"You will soon be like him, but don't be too sad, as your clan and all humans will soon join the ranks. The past belongs to us, and so does the future, and your poor history of civilization will be completely erased, and the only thing that will remain is the cornerstone of your existence, which has built the eternal glory of our people. As he spoke, he slowly lowered his raised arm.

At this moment, Lucas only felt an unimaginable pain in his legs, and the pain was so intense that a tough guy like him couldn't help but scream, and he felt that his legs were melting, and the gurgling flesh was rapidly turning into a golden liquid, and as his whole body gradually sank, his consciousness was gradually blurred.

He finally stopped howling, and his bleeding face contorted and looked at Mut.

"You ...... Never...... Succeed! Lucas yelled at the other man with the last of his strength.

Mt didn't speak, just watched indifferently as the half of Lucas's body quickly melted into metal, and in a few moments, the ground in front of her was as golden as ever.

She stepped forward and tapped her toes at the gold plate where Lucas had died, which suddenly carried Mutt into the air, and then gradually accelerated, galloping like an arrow off the string towards the bottom of the platform.

……

On the Black Heath of Cadmus, three predators are carrying a dozen guards and volunteers from the mining base to the old Heisenberg base. Led by Gibson, with an angry face, he sat in the first sweeper at the head and almost trained Butler, the gate guard, all the way.

"You let that damn bastard out on his own, and if he disappears like his hapless brother, the prison meal for dereliction of duty in the Colonial Bureau, no one will help you eat!" Gibson, who has a distinctly bad temper, also has a rough enough voice that makes Butler, who is at a loss, keep his head down and dare not say a word.

"But he did leave you a message that he had a clue about his brother." Another guard, who was sitting next to Butler, tried to round up his companion.

"What a bullshit clue! He just came here and has a clue, so what are we? A bunch of people who eat and wait to die? Gibson looked even more annoyed.

"You're such a piece of shit, Butler, and you're clever enough to let you see the door, but you can't do this little thing, are you still a man? What blind chick would take a fancy to your crappy look......" Gibson was about to scold again, but the groundsweeper suddenly rose and fell violently, causing his head to hit the roof of the car.

"Bakken, you bastard, I swear......" he yelled at the pilot in the front cabin.

"Captain, it's not good, there's a situation!" The driver exclaimed in shock.

"There's a bullshit ......," Gibson squeezed into the front compartment with his head covered, shutting up at the horrific sight outside the window.

In the vast wilderness ahead, large cracks were appearing in the black rocks, and the debris on the originally flat and dead planetary surface was flying, and a dense sound was heard in the sturdy earth-skimming hull.

"What's going on? If there is no atmosphere, why is there a storm? Gibson stared blankly ahead, where large swaths of rock surged and then soared into the air, colliding violently in midair.

"Go back! Back to base! Gibson immediately ordered the driver.

"But...... Captain, we're almost there......"

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? I'll make you turn around! Seeing a black boulder smash down from the sky, Gibson screamed and threw himself into the driver's seat, slamming the lever in the direction with his hand.

But he was apparently a little late, the boulder flying in the air was so large that Gibson's screams smashed the ground sweeper he was riding in, and then tumbled and crushed the other two that followed.

In the farther Tomorrow's Better Mining Base, the powerful force field wall that had guarded humanity for years was destroyed in just a few seconds before the ground cracks and rocks were destroyed, and the hundreds of unprepared colonists within, along with the members of the Development Committee's investigation team, died almost instantaneously. They were undoubtedly lucky, as the entire base was soon torn apart by the cracked earth.

At this moment, on the surface of this planet, which is only slightly larger than the moon of Provistown's Hermes, countless black rocks are raining down from the ground and escaping towards outer space at an alarming speed.

Cadmus, the ancient, dead planet that has no signs of life on it, is shaking off its eon-millions of years of camouflage to reveal its long-hidden true face.

The scattered meteorite rain gradually broke away from the gravitational range of Cadmus and was captured by the huge Calypso, which was like a rain of mercury towards the multicolored star rings, forming a magnificent cosmic spectacle.

When the fog cleared, the newborn planet emitted a dazzling white light under the light of the star Dionysus.

The silvery-white star, immaculate and immaculate, was forged by an ancient civilization that has long since perished, using unknown and wonderful technology to forge an indestructible planetary shell from an unimaginable amount of pure acetitanium.

And now this shell suddenly moved, forming a perfectly round acetate titanium shell slowly moving towards the poles, exposing a long and narrow passage in the entire circle of the planet's equatorial line, and after everything was stationary, a group of huge space ships began to sail out of the interior of the planet in an orderly manner.

Immediately afterward, thousands of ships sailed away from the planet's orbit at great speed, and disappeared into the void like arrows, and after a long time, they appeared from the edge of the galaxy again, and in the next moment they formed groups and scattered in all directions.

After everything stood still, one of the largest of them suddenly shot a blue ray, like a day cut through the night, bringing some light to an area that Dionysus could not reach, and then all the ships began to glow, and volleyed towards a point in the center.

In an instant, ripples rippled in the dead void, and blue electromagnetic sparks pierced the sky, bursting out wantonly in the expanding focus, as if there was some fierce beast hidden there, waiting for an opportunity to break free from the dark cage......
