Chapter 141: Crisis Fighter?
ββ¦β¦ We hope that every fighter in the crisis will be able to put aside prejudices and ignore past grievances, and move the position of civilization into our 'refuge'. β
"I know you're skeptical, but I'm sure you'll understand us soon."
"Merciful we, we will always open our borders to you, and look forward to the day when we will be greeted by each other hand in hand, not as 'cleared'......"
With that, the holographic projection of the "benevolent receiver" also dissipated, and the red color patch seemed to be larger again.
The representatives of the various civilizations present also looked at each other and fell silent.
Just now, the "Merciful Receivers" shared their experience of fighting the "invasion of the dead" in ancient times.
While they were wary of their demands to move civilizing positions into the territory of the "Woke Empire," the reputation and trust of former "observers" also made them hesitate.
If, as the "Merciful Receiver" says, the "Invasion of the Dead" has a terrifying ability to "assimilate", then every civilization that is destroyed will become a sharp blade to swing at its companions.
However, any civilization will certainly be cautious about such a major matter as "shifting the position of civilization", and the "benevolent receivers" seem to have known for a long time that it is impossible to be trusted immediately.
Therefore, instead of immediately leaving the Galactic civilizations to make a decision, they set a deadline for replying.
[In order to ensure that the "invasion of the dead" does not use other civilizations to strengthen itself, we will perform "cremation" on civilizations that have not accepted shelter after a certain period of time]
[I hope you can understand our concerns, and you have to believe that we are indeed thinking about everyone]
This seemingly negotiating but actually threatening discourse has forced civilizations to take it with caution and frantically test whether the "undead" are really as terrible as the "benevolent adopters" say.
However, the "corpse civilization", which is expanding at a terrifying speed, has completely crushed all the "tentative fleets" with its great strength, and has not been able to let these civilizations get a trace of results.
Including the Star Alliance, an established interstellar civilization that controls a large number of stargates, has engaged in a war with an advance fleet of "dead invasions" in order to protect their stargate network.
However, they ended up in a crushing defeat, and had to destroy many of the gates that were about to be captured before retreating, preventing the "invasion of the dead" from relying on these gates to expand further.
The sheer number of the dead reminds these civilizations of a swarm, but the army of the dead is much more terrifying.
The number of these known dead troops has even surpassed the total number of young civilizations in the galaxy now, it is hard to imagine where these "undead" got so many corpses, and some people even speculate whether they have been hoarding the dead since ancient times.
This conjecture quickly gained a lot of acceptance, and further shook the determination of these civilizations to cling to their home planet.
"If we don't join the 'benevolent hosts,' then we're going to be facing...... How many Galactic Age civilization dead? Will we also be one of these dead? β
"Perhaps...... Only by abandoning all barriers of species and consciousness and allowing the entire galaxy to gather into 'one civilization', as the 'Merciful Receivers' said, will we be able to survive this crisis......"
Desperate news such as this continues to circulate among the people of various civilizations, and even the best efforts of civilized governments have not been able to stop the rumors from spreading, making these civilized infiltrators wonder if there are malicious people behind it.
Although the origin and origin of these "undead" have not yet been defined, the horror of the "invasion of the dead" has become a fact.
There are already some civilizations that cannot resist the increasing pressure at home and choose to go to the 'refuge' of the "benevolent hostess".
It was a huge ring of worlds, located within the borders of the "benevolent recipients".
The former "Observers" have settled many indigenous civilizations on it, and now it is the turn of interstellar civilizations to live here.
Ships loaded with countless people have begun to sail from all over the galaxy to the "Vault", while the "Merciful Receivers" are building a large number of interstellar fortresses on the border, seemingly preparing for a decisive battle against the "invasion of the dead" in these places.
They did seem to be adept at dealing with this crisis, and such a skillful attitude further caused the galactic civilization to waver.
The supervision of the "Xinghai Community" began to decline, and one after another civilizations chose to join the "benevolent adopters" and became "crisis fighters" recognized by the "benevolent adopters".
The Merciful Receivers promised to return them after the crisis was over and rewarded them for their struggle in the Invasion of the Dead.
However, not all civilizations have chosen this path, and there are still many civilizations that are on the sidelines for various reasons, and will not shift their civilizational positions until the last moment.
The Cygurus Revenge Crusade is one of them, and after a life-and-death war with the Chien Empire, they now only believe in themselves.
Even though they knew that what awaited them might be an army of the undead from several Galactic Epochs combined, as well as the "cremation" from their fellow Galactic Beings, they were not intimidated by any of them, and fanatically organized a war mobilization.
In addition to this ethno-fanatical civilization, there are many civilizations that have not opted in because of other lost empires.
These Lost Empires in all shapes and sizes are like their "gods", even if they are not vassal civilizations, they want the reaction of these Lost Empires.
Among them, the "guardians" are the most important, because they always feel that this "mechanical lost empire" seems to have little interest in this "invasion of the dead".
Confused by the story told by the "benevolent adopters", they look forward to another answer from the "guardians".
And when it comes to these civilizations that refuse to join the "benevolent takers", it is natural that the Tinder Alliance cannot be missing.
Civilizations know that the Tinder Alliance has always aspired to the "Observer", and are therefore surprised by their choice to refuse to accept asylum.
However, the Tinder Alliance did not elaborate too much, but were still in full swing doing their own thing.
On this day, the Tinder Alliance, which is still looking for traces of the "invasion of the dead" in history, receives a special summons.
Although the communication between the galaxy has become extremely chaotic now, the Tinder Alliance has not let go of a signal, and they have always maintained smooth communication, and they received the message easily.
"...... 'Serving Paradise'? How could this group of xenophobic servants ......"
Some wondered where the communication came from, but they looked at its contents anyway and were taken aback.
This news comes from a guy who has long been removed from their name, and this guy has undergone the transformation of "Serving Paradise", leaving behind his original physical body and becoming an "alien".
But now, the person who was removed from them has sent an important message.
γTo my teacher:γ
[Teacher, this is the last time I will convey this message to you in this capacity, after that, I will live as a "master" completely, and the memories of being in the Tinder Alliance will also be sealed in the depths of my memory]
[Regarding this "invasion of the dead", my civilization has made some discoveries, and confirmed that those who control the "dead" are a fungus]
[Just like the common Cordyceps, these parasitic fungi manipulate the corpse's movements]
[In view of the fact that they are infected so quickly, like a disease, we have decided to call them "Cordyceps" rather than some "invasion of the dead"]
[Detailed data was also sent over]
[Don't think I've betrayed my lovely servants, you can't imagine how good this place is]
[I consulted with the other "masters" and servants before deciding that I would deliver this message.]
[After all, you are also working hard, and the children who work hard should be rewarded!] γ
