(513) The end is near
After listening to the other party's lengthy narrative, Constance was silent for a long time, and said:
"It's so sad...... I don't know what to do, but I sympathize with you and your people......"
"Thank you, friend."
Lao Rao's tone became indignant, and he was no longer as calm as he had been at the beginning of the conversation:
"Since then,
I don't have to spend any more time on eating, studying, or other household chores.
Because all the good things have gone away from me, and I myself have become a ghost floating in the void,
I've never been so focused in my life,
The only thing I have is endless time and endless energy,
I kept chasing after the Devourers, witnessing their many crimes,
Seeing magnificent civilizations destroyed by this group of barbarian guys.
Many times,
I swear I've tried so many times, trying to stop the tragedy from happening.
What I got was failure after failure, and then I fell into deep self-blame.
I was horrified to find that
I've fallen into a loop.
I kept comforting myself, reminding myself to hope,
Tell yourself that you will succeed next time, and then wait for the demise of another civilization.
Devourers kill children and old people in front of me, and I can't do anything,
I wanted to punch out, but I found that I had no arms, and I couldn't even shed tears! All efforts were in vain.
I'm just a shameful and sad piece of waste,
All you can do is be an angry and sad bystander.
Finally, I looked forward to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,
The Devourer has finally encountered a hard bone to gnaw onβ
They have made several jumps to distant star clusters, not far from your planet,
You human astrologers call it Alpha Centauri,
There is the most powerful civilization I have ever seen, Santa Klias,
The intelligent creatures there call themselves the people of St. K.
They walked upright, resembled humans, and were a very intelligent and heroic race, which was really admirable, and I learned a lot from them.
After a long battle, the Saints and Arks were unable to defend themselves against the invasion of the Devourers, but they also inflicted heavy losses on these monsters.
During this expedition, the number of Devourers was reduced by more than half.
Those who survived were also attacked by the saturation of suicide superbombs left behind by the Saint K.
The flesh of the Devourer Leaders became fragile, dying in droves, and their technological prowess shrank dramatically.
Due to the large doses of radiation, their pride in reproduction is no longer good, and most of the offspring they give birth to are low-energy mutated freaks.
During that time, I was so crazy that I really wanted to dance a dance to celebrate,
Unfortunately, the last secret weapon of the Saint-KΓ©s did not come in handy, and I was fortunate enough to get all the data on the secret weapon and began researching it.
Since then, the Devourers have been devastated, but they have not given up their primal desire to kill and destroy, and their ways of action have begun to change, from crazy savage to insidious cunning.
Every invasion after that is a routine,
The Devourer uses the machine of mind leap to transfer his consciousness to distant star clusters and find the planet where intelligent life exists.
Then choose some people with weak minds, give some favors, make promises as otherworldly evil gods, cultivate fanatical believers, and induce them to engage in various actions,
These cultists became a springboard for the Devourers to invade later.
The Devourer teaches the fanatics dark knowledge and bestows them all kinds of favors,
For example, to heal a disease, to perform miracles, or to give wealth,
By the way, on your planet, this evil knowledge is called black magic. β
"I see!" It dawned on Konstanz:
"Those fools! Why are so many people ...... The problem with this world is that smart people are full of doubts, while fools are convinced! β
"The strongest fortresses are often breached from within." The old man repeated again, then continued:
"After I analyzed the data,
Soskaya Voodoo is the religion of your planet for thousands of years, and the Devourers have tried to use it as a springboard for their attacks, and have begun to make great efforts to revitalize it,
In other words, Voodoo today is completely different from the past, and the so-called witchcraft is just a pretext for the dark power of the Devourer.
They chose the most powerful psychic on the planet, Diamond Shespar and used him as their agent to build a bridgehead for their invasion. β
Hearing this, Konstanz Midknight's forehead was covered with beads of sweat:
"I see, half of the sacrifices I perform are ancient witchcraft, and the other half are Devourer's techniques, so it's no wonder they fail.
It's too dangerous! It's all my fault, I didn't figure it out and rushed to do the sacrificial ceremony, which hurt myself, and almost hurt my sister! ββ
The old man pouted and smiled: "You know,
The reason why I have a good impression of you humans is because of certain qualities in you,
When you can't protect yourself, you think about your relatives and friends, which makes me feel quite close."
"I'm a wooden person, my classmates call me a nerd, but at least I still understand the value of family affection, no matter how dangerous the ceremony is, as long as I can save my sister's life, I am also duty-bound!"
Konstanz felt a splitting headache again, and half of his face stabbed together, and he couldn't help covering his forehead:
"After the ritual failed, I fell into a nightmare until you rescued me."
"You were discovered by the eyes and ears of the Devourer, and you caught a glimpse of the shadows of these powerful, four-dimensional creatures, and your mind could not bear the pressure and collapsed.
The favorite spiritual food of these monsters is the negative emotions of intelligent creatures-
Fear, suspicion, tyranny......
Sweet souls, the spiritual energies of the dying, are the new energy sources they crave the most.
In the battle with St. Crao, the Devourer suffered heavy losses and was greatly weakened, unable to make advanced weapons and unable to conduct long-distance brigades
So, they cast a net to kill your people, and when you are all dying, they will extradite your flesh here with the help of the Cultist's guidance.
At that time, this beautiful planet will be ruthlessly trampled,
Lives have been slaughtered, civilization has ceased to exist, the oceans have been polluted,
In the end, even the center of the earth was hollowed out, filth covered the entire surface, and the entire planet became a death star. β
"What a vicious conspiracy!" Konstanz's blood was boiling, the muscles on his neck were exposed, and he straightened his highly myopic glasses: "I would rather give everything to prevent these tragedies from happening!" β
The old man put his right hand in his pocket:
"Very good enlightenment, and because of this, it is worthy of this gift."
