Chapter 101: The Ring Withers
- The ring is crumbling.
The "rings" who were still trying to collect their debts had just landed in other galaxies with one kick, and the other kick was caught by the black fleet that had jumped over.
The fleet was exactly the same configuration, and they didn't even think it was the same wave as the ones they had just encountered.
It was obvious that their "jumping" power could not be used continuously, so the "Ring" trembled and had to face those indifferent and ruthless powerful warships.
In addition to these "rings", the super-giant "ring" that formed over the home planet of Dencam is also in a life-and-death crisis.
Due to greed and contempt, as soon as it appeared in this universe, it used that "jump" power to devour a planet, and now it has no way to get out of this place quickly.
Li Wenyuan's interest in this super-giant "ring" was obviously much greater, and the number of warships used to encircle and suppress it far exceeded that of other "rings."
There are three fleets under siege, each numbering more than two hundred warships.
In addition, there are more than a dozen Titan flagships here, and every time the Titan main gun is launched, you can feel the powerful power as if even the screen is vibrating.
The massive psionic storm of this giant "ring" had long since been torn apart into pieces of tulle by the infusion of more external forces, revealing the glowing ring and the large central ball of light.
If it weren't for the fact that these "rings" could briefly enter a state of virtual reality, allowing the main cannon to pass directly through its body, thus avoiding the deadliest threats, it would have been blown to pieces like their predecessors.
"...... 'ring', it doesn't seem to be that strong?" In the civilization watching the battle, some people who don't know the height of the sky seem to think that the "end of reincarnation" is just like that, and they expressed their opinions on the Internet.
The criticism also followed immediately, and tens of thousands of buildings were built in just a few minutes.
"Understood, the landlord is a superman, and it is recommended to pull it to fight with the 'ring', so that the 'end of reincarnation' will come and go."
"Intelligence shows that our advanced 'Ring Superman' has completely surpassed the old 'End of Samsara'."
"I'm super, 'round'!"
"You're right, but it doesn't feel as good as ......"
"'Ring Superman' lost to 'The End of Samsara'? Why do I have such dreams? ”
“……”
Of course, this kind of doubt is only in the minority, and most people are still very clear in their hearts, without the "guardian", if these "rings" do not destroy the galaxy, they will cause great damage to the civilization of these people, and it is very likely that they will collapse.
But the "guardians" raised early warnings of the "end of reincarnation" and were even the first to react to the "reckoning".
While the other civilizations were still rushing to clean up their defenses, they had already sent their fleets to suppress the Ring, and it even looked like it was about to be resolved.
This undoubtedly gives these civilizations a huge favorability bonus to the Lost Empire, or only the "Guardians".
The "Battle of the 'Watchmen' and the 'Far Travelers'", which originally firmly occupied the top spot on the discussion list, was quickly squeezed into second place by the "Guardian of the Galaxy", which rose almost at a leaping speed.
They speculate whether this "Lost Empire of Machinery" will be a lost "guardian of the galaxy".
Much has been forgotten about this ancient sapient civilization for a long time, but "providing shelter for the galaxy" still firmly occupies the most important place in the program.
Otherwise, it is not clear why none of the other Lost Empires reacted to the "liquidation", but the "Guardians" stepped forward and began to clean up these "outsiders" who wanted to endanger the entire galaxy.
So in the discussion, the "guardian" has been made up by the brain a magnificent ancient history.
Even though "Guardians of the Galaxy" is a joking term, these civilizations do thank the lost empire from the bottom of their hearts for resolving the "reckoning".
Li Wenyuan didn't expect that the current galactic civilization's perception of him had changed dramatically.
His ability to clean up the Rings is indeed motivated by the maintenance of the Galaxy, and these Limblage visitors seem to want to bring disaster to the Galaxy.
He may not be able to control the infighting of the galaxy itself, after all, this lively appearance may be what humans wanted to see in the first place.
But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Shroud, right? It is natural to repay debts, but it is beyond the line to ask for "unwarranted" debts from other civilizations, and he will certainly not allow the "ring" to eat the galaxy clean and then go back satisfied.
In addition to that, he also wanted to study the "ring".
After all, this kind of thing, which seems to be very similar to "gods", only existed in mythology in the materialist world in the past.
Now he can't go into the Void Realm to see it in person for the time being, but it is also interesting to study the incarnation of these "end of reincarnation" in the real universe.
The giant "aura" that was besieged by the focus had already appeared a large number of cracks, and countless kinetic energy, energy, and various explosive weapons were hitting its ring body every moment.
Substantial cracks can be clearly seen in the glowing ring-like structure, and the glowing orb in the center tries to repair these cracks with psionic energy, but can only watch feebly as psionic energy leaks more and more like a leaky bag.
It attempted to unleash a powerful attack that gathered all of its psionic energy, and the spilling light shrank inward, eventually condensing into a beam of extremely dazzling light, and struck at a Titan flagship.
After this attack, even the "Ring" itself became much darker, becoming more and more transparent, as if it was about to overflow into the world.
But it was still holding on, at least until it saw the damage caused by the beam before leaving the universe.
So, the beam it had pinned its hopes on shot impartially at a Titan flagship, and then - missed.
Or in fact, it didn't miss, the angle of the beam is very perfect, and basically it can only resist hard, but the object it chooses is not very good.
At the moment when the attack was about to arrive, the Titan's flagship, which looked good, actually "cracked" directly.
This is a literal crack, and the nanorobots that make up it are instantly deformed, and then combined into the shape of a "ring", and the beam of light passes directly through the center of the ring, and then rushes towards the void of space.
The reassembled ring of nanobots shook as if provocatively, as if mocking the "ring's" indiscretion.
Seeing that the attack failed and the power that descended on this universe was about to be exhausted, the "Circle" had to retreat gloomily, and was expelled back to the virtual realm in a burst of inward explosions.
And this scene still made Li Wenyuan feel something: "...... So, in the real universe, is there still no way to completely destroy these 'rings'? ”
"The state they are in is very special, maybe they can only be destroyed in the Void......
He was thinking about when he would go to the Void to chat after the "Psionic Beacon" was built.
However, the gray wind on the side looked a little excited: "You see, I guessed that the 'Ring' would attack my warship, and they actually couldn't tell the difference between us!" ”
“…… After all, your deformation skills are truly unmatched, and the signals I detected were consistent before your nanobots disintegrated......"
Li Wenyuan praised the gray wind, and then sighed in his heart that he had really picked up a treasure in the "Distant Star Gate".
The fleet that encircled and suppressed the "Ring", in addition to his own warships, also had the special "nano warships" of the gray wind.
Originally, the shape of her battleship also had a unique appearance, but since entering the galaxy, she chose to imitate Li Wenyuan's battleship style, which according to her is "in line with aesthetics".
When mixed in the fleet, it is simply impossible to distinguish which ones are "nano warships".
It is naturally impossible for Gray Wind, who has always liked to join in the fun, not to participate in such a major event as the encirclement and suppression of the "Circle", and she even temporarily put down the game "Awakening Empire 2: The Battle of Hell", and came to participate in the extermination of the "Circle".
So these "rings" who are trying to collect debts in the galaxy are actually facing two special "lost empires".
And with the collapse of the super-giant "ring", the "rings" in the rest of the place will not last long.
The dazzling beams of light that shone across the galaxy almost illuminated these places into cabarets, and round after round of explosions appeared on the surface of the "ring".
These systems all have colonies, after all, the Ring itself is here to devour them, and now the Guardian's fleet has saved them, and in addition to the praise, these people are comparing the Guardian to several other lost empires.
“…… First of all, it seems that there are no such strange taboos, right? ”
"Indeed, the taboo of the 'watchman' is the holy land, the taboo of the 'silencer' is the border, the 'observer' seems to hate acts of genocide, the words of the 'far-traveler'...... Judging by the scientist they repatriated, it seems to be 'mechanical evolution'? ”
“…… If you look at it this way, the taboo of 'guardians' seems to be 'galactic crisis'? This has pulled a lot of other lost empires from the pattern......"
"That's so right! I just feel that something is not quite right with the other Lost Empires...... With that in mind, I'm going to work on a new game called ...... Lost Empire: Guardians of the Ancients! ”
"Not bad! I felt it! It's better to set another ...... for him Ancient nemesis? It's the kind of 'galactic menace' that aims to destroy the whole galaxy! ”
"And then...... Let's imagine that a big war has actually broken out between them, and although the threat is temporarily repulsed, he has a lot of problems himself......"
Seeing that the topic has a tendency to get farther and farther, someone came out in time to correct it:
"I'm talking about the 'guardian', in fact, I think the 'guardian' is much easier to talk than the other Lost Empires, and those mechanical sounds sound quite emotional, not as much as the other Lost Empires look like no one in their eyes......"
"Yes, yes, yes! This alone is worth an impression score of +1000! ”
"Final words...... I guess all of us should be on the same page, right? ”
"This discerning person can see that there are too many fleets of 'guardians'...... does he have as many fleets as 'watchers' and 'far-travelers' combined?"
“…… I think half of it is a problem. ”
These people were discussing in the colony very calmly, and from time to time they looked at the rings of fireworks that exploded in the starry sky, and looked very happy.
They felt that being able to see such a scene with their own eyes in this life was enough for them to blow for a lifetime.
And those "rings" have finally come to retreat.
Eleven of the twelve "rings" were cracked open and collapsed back into the void.
The last one left was lucky, and at the moment when it was about to be shattered, it activated the "jump" force again, and hurriedly jumped to a galaxy that had a very, very large amount of biomass in its perception.
It was to feast there before returning to the Realm.
However, when Li Wenyuan was about to send a fleet to continue the pursuit, he saw clearly the goal of the last "ring" and immediately dismissed the move of jumping.
Because the last place chosen by the "ring" is the "hatchery".
"It's ...... What? ”
In the "Hatchery" system, the queen of this "Presorin" saw the ring that suddenly appeared, and showed a curious expression.
“…… It seems to be ...... Pure energy...... No...... If it's not a sapient creature, I'm ...... We can eat it, right? ”
Queen Presolin followed the teachings of humanity and made a large group of space monsters surround the "ring", and seemed to be a little eager to try.
The psionic beams that the "Ring" worked so hard to release only burned a little black smoke into the formidable shells of these behemoths.
They are able to traverse dangerous subspace with their physical bodies, and the attacks unleashed by this broken "ring" are nothing short of tickling.
After a series of chewing and shattering sounds that seemed to be clearly audible, the "ring" was eaten.
Its mutilated shell was recovered by the Shroud, but 99% of it was missing.
This is the only "ring" that has not completely returned to the Void at the moment.
