Chapter 1: The Veil
(In order to avoid barriers to understanding, most of the standards will be used if they are not necessary.)
--The Second Universe, East's Home Star--
What a beautiful planet, a planet that perfectly matches the aesthetics of the planet.
The wind blows softly, not blowing a leaf, not rolling a trace of blue waves, where it passes, green mountains and green trees, blue sea and blue sky. Is it tranquil? No, it's dead silence. If there are only one or two places where the picture is still like this, the occasional stay can be blessed, but what if the whole planet is like this?
It was so quiet that it was hard to hear a sound, and there were trees and water everywhere in this world, but there was no noise of leaves or the beating of waves, only from time to time, one or two children's playful laughter rippled faintly in the dense forest.
What a strange planet, a planet that is completely beyond the common sense of the earth.
There was no human dwelling, not even the most primitive indigenous houses. There are no hunters to hunt, no fishermen, no farmers to plow, not even adults to see. However, in the woods and on the beaches everywhere, there will always be groups of children wandering around, or one or two old people leaning or lying down, closing their eyes and resting their minds. If it weren't for the fact that there are four sci-fi towers at the poles and the equator that symbolize the existence of civilization, all this can only be explained by supernatural beings. However, even if you walk through every inch of land, there are only four buildings in this world.
Suddenly, an alarm sounded between heaven and earth - "Ping~δ»~" At that moment, a piercing sound sounded in every corner of the planet, and the aftermath lasted for a long time. Then, the whole planet, except for the overlapping echoes, finally fell silent: the old people and children who were still there were no longer visible, and everything was like a bubble.
A minute later, before the reverberation had completely subsided, another roar followed, and the superposition of two voices made people feel unconsciously depressed, followed by another minute's interval, and then a "flat" undulating; Then there was a minute interval, and there was a flat ...... After the sixth sound, the whole planet trembled with this tremendous momentum, the wind howled, the waves were raging, the branches and leaves fell, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be about to be cataclysmic.
After the seventh sound, the trees and the sea that had been dancing suddenly settled down, but then there was a dense and sharp sound, which was extremely harsh after thousands of stacks. I saw that whether it was the ground or the sea, every place bloomed with a little silver light from below, and the emerald green and dark blue appearance was no longer pure. Under the sunlight, the dazzling glare of the flickering can be faintly seen.
The eighth sound is the sound of great changes in the world. At that moment, the surface of the planet shattered, like a dream, the great and splendid nature was gone, unrealistically gone, only the brown or black earth was churning, and then the huge metal pipe rose rapidly with a loud rumbling sound that filled the sky, and the air tubes covered the earth again, without the slightest shadow of the beautiful world before.
Finally, the ninth tone......
-- The First Universe, the Edge of Civilization --
The dark purple star stands in the starry black curtain, and the extremely fast rotating body shows the world the superb style of the overlord, and the churning surface makes the world appreciate the extraordinary style - this is a vigorous new star, and the majestic momentum impresses the world.
A figure hangs in the sky above the nova, and it is even difficult for people to detect it if they are not carefully observed. After perceiving it, the small figure and the endless churning surface close at hand made people have to pinch a cold sweat and sigh the humility of life.
However, no matter how long it passed, that person, the middle-aged man who was only wearing a black robe, was always unharmed, and in the strong particle storm, only the long silver hair fluttered gently, and even the corners of his clothes never turned up. With his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly closed, and his handsome face showing a faint enjoyment, as if admiring a rare treasure. While in a sense, this star-bright purple star is a rare work of art, the point is that who can get a close-up look with such impunity?
Suddenly, he sighed lightly, turned his face to the side slightly, and said, "You guys, after all, are still here." "Although no sound can be transmitted in a vacuum, the information is still scattered with the fluctuation of energy, and is not affected by the strong impact from the side.
In the blink of an eye, six figures flashed, blocking the possible escape route with a semi-encirclement momentum, but after that, no one dared to make a move, only showing a difference on their faces, and their hearts were shocked. They are the only existence among the killers, because their only mission is to kill this person, and for this goal, they have been preparing for thousands of years, and they can be said to know everything about him, but at this moment, it seems that something has been out of control.
He, the pinnacle of existence in the world, is also an eternal hero and living myth in people's hearts, although because of an accident many years ago, the realm regressed so that there is no one in the world, but the glory that belongs to him will not fade because of this. And those who want to kill him will not be lucky because of his weakening, just like this time, even if it is a rare opportunity to assassinate, it is still the arrival of six top powerhouses, just a peace of mind.
Neither of them moved, but one side was leisurely, and the other side was fully vigilant, and it was clear at a glance which was stronger and which was weaker. It is precisely because of this that their hearts have sunk again and again, and the idea of running for their lives has been irrepressibly breeding even though they have not fought each other.
He stretched out his hands, shook them lightly in front of everyone's eyesβnothing happened, but it made the hearts of the six people skip a beat. "Heh," he turned, chuckled a little wickedly, and then spat out something enough to shake the world, "After years of struggle, she still made a move on her teacher." β
This sentence shocked the killers, and also shattered their newly hatched idea of retreat, and the killing intent was completely aroused - no matter what, he must die!
In an instant, they rushed to the target at the fastest speed in their lives, using up all their energy, including their life force, to release the tricks that could only be used once in their lives, the brilliance of their palms gradually bloomed, and their vision was gradually blurred, for the sake of the plan, for her, only hope, only hope - the red eyes stared at the figure that still did not move - close! It's close~ This is the cry of everyone's hearts at this time.
"It's a pity, this treasure." Until this time, looking at the attack that had arrived in front of him, he did not panic or resist at all, but turned around again and looked at the overlord sitting in all directions with nostalgia, and said a sentence that made people stunned.
And thenβ
For a moment, the world stood still. No, no, it's just an illusion, because the huge stars in this side of the world that are constantly eye-catching seem to be frozen, the picture seems to be frozen, and nothing changes.
And then--
In that moment, time flowed again, as the frozen star disintegrated like dry sand and quickly submerged the seven people, and unimaginable energy raged around it, forming one shock after another.
For a long time, only a figure slowly floated out of it, silver-haired and black-robed, with an expressionless face.
Suddenly, he turned around and looked up, his deep eyes looked into the unknown distance, his expression was slightly slow but slightly complicated, and he sighed softly: "The end of all this is finally about to begin." β
ββββ
In the dark hall, more than a dozen men and women, young and old, stood in all directions, surrounding the only light source in the empty space: a huge pillar of light.
"Ding - the final stage is ready, and the test result: the target accuracy is 99.98%, and the perfection is 99.94%. Current assessment is: no correction required. Thirty seconds into the countdown - twenty-nine, twenty-eight, twenty-seven......" The cold voice echoed, and at the same time touched the hearts of everyone present.
ββ
On this beautiful planet that no longer exists, the muzzles of the cannons shoot round after round of energy impact into the sky, and the huge reaction has caused the planet to deviate from its original orbit. And as if the ruined earth that had been ravaged by the end times, in addition to the ubiquitous machinery, there were also corpses that had been covered with layers after layers.
"Poof-" Another person was overconsumed, spitting out a mouthful of blood and falling to the ground and never getting up again. But no one present cared, just locked their minds tightly on the "Seven Stars and One Day" that shimmered in the air, and then squeezed out as much energy as they could.
"Block, no, ruin them! Ruined them! I don't care what you do, what the price you pay, I don't want to see them again, I want them to die-die! An old man in a gray cloak stood by and roared hysterically, his momentum rising little by little, his cloak turned up, revealing a hideous, twisted face and bloodshot eyesβthe man was half-insane.
But then, his momentum was retracted, his legs were weak, and the whole person was paralyzed on the ground, old tears were in his eyes, but his eyes never left the dazzling eight luminous bodies, and his face was full of humiliation, unwillingness and even hatred.
The sky seemed to be soaked in dye, colorful, and constantly twisting and turning, and the changing canopy of heaven attracted the mind like a black hole, silently interfering with the fluctuations of energy in everyone's body, killing everyone who was controlled. In this environment, the seven smaller balls revolve around the middle and largest one, but they do not move regularly, but sometimes far and near, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, like children playing.
The strong contrast between the performance of the culprit and the victim is like a resounding slap in the face, slapping this civilization that has had no natural enemies for thousands of years. Humiliation and fear permeate everyone's heart. It was these eight seemingly harmless beings that suddenly descended twenty light-years away 18 hours ago, and then used their space capabilities to destroy the civilized planets along the way in a crushing manner, up to the current core - the home planet.
ββ
The countdown to "twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen......" lingers in the ears of everyone who cares, and every second is a century.
ββ
Suddenly, the seven stars that were originally just hanging in the air and making everyone have a change in one day, and the still "one day" began to move, followed by the seven stars scattered, and finally only one was left with it, as if it was slowly moving north, startling everyone.
No one knew their purpose, and they had destroyed more than 3,000 civilized planets in a dozen hours, basically destroying them instantly, but they had stayed on this small parent planet for about half an hour. But now, they're moving again, what do you mean? For a while, everyone was stunned.
ββ
"Twelve, Eleven, Ten, Nine......"
ββ
"Not good!" When the two stars going north suddenly rushed to the North Pole at an extremely fast speed, more precisely the tower on the North Pole, the old man who had already sorted out his emotions was shocked, and quickly flashed to the side of a middle-aged man who was always behind him, and then the two of them instantly shuttled to the North Pole Tower, and wanted to rush in but were bounced back by an extremely strong force, and lay on the ground unable to move.
The old man trembled all over, staring at the spaceship next to him that had never started and the guards who had fallen to the ground at the door, and opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
The whole world was silent, so quiet that it was panicking.
ββ
"Five, four, three, two, one."
ββ
The baby's cry rang out suddenly, and then echoed through the air, waking everyone who had fallen into a stupor.
Everyone was looking around, no one understood why, there were no children around, but the sound was clear to everyone's ears - one after the other.
ββ
"Ding--The final stage has been successfully opened, and the target has been locked. Congratulations. Its voice was always cold, including the last two words, but even so, everyone present could not suppress the joy in their hearts, they looked at each other, and then the space distorted, and everyone disappeared, leaving only a lone pillar of light in the hall.
ββ
This is the last scene of the play, and the curtain has been lifted.
