“…… Unfortunately, our original plan has completely failed, as we had predicted. ”

"Accidents are also part of the galaxy, and it's normal for this to happen, and we have a similar scenario in our predictions, although the probability is no more than 0.1%."

"'Presorin'? What an unexpected group of enemies. ”

The appearance of "Presorin" really came as a surprise to the "benevolent receivers".

This "pro-foreign lost empire", which is very friendly on the surface, actually has the most arrogant attitude, and it is not even known when "Presorin" appeared.

The so-called "galactic events" are nothing more than a bunch of garbage information in their eyes, and only occasionally when there is some interest will they see what these "weak civilizations" are doing.

This can be seen in their view of the war between the "Watchmen" and the "Far Travelers", and they sincerely despise these two opposing civilizations fighting to the death, believing that this is a petty fight between two children.

In particular, when both the "watchmen" and the "far-reachers" insisted that they were the successors of the "Apocalypse", the "observers" at that time laughed out loud.

The arrogance of believing that the "Apocalypse" is orthodox is deeply ingrained in their blood, and they feel that they are the new "Apocalypse" when the galaxy is not mastered.

Those actions of rescuing the natives and collecting rare creatures are just reproductions of them in order to bring themselves closer to the image of the "Apocalypse".

They never look at everything equally, and in their enthusiastic gaze, in fact, they are filled with "pity" filled with arrogance.

The species that are taken in and helped are more often seen as "pets", and they are pets of less value.

After all, they will give preferential treatment to one species based on their preferences, and they will ignore the struggles of another species and die miserably.

They felt that they were the gods who ruled everything, and they had compassion on the galaxy, so they gave these creatures a place to live.

But the person who is "God" cannot descend, so they want to imitate "God" and watch this galactic drama as an "observer".

They don't feel like they're on the same line as other civilizations, and they'll always be the ones looking down on all beings.

It would be fine if they were always "watching" observers, but that "God's" sense of superiority always made them want to do some "miracles" to satisfy their selfish desires.

As a result, they are not always "watching", but occasionally they will play a wave of majesty, and then feel the exclamation, shock and praise of other civilizations, which is a frequent part of their historical history.

After they felt that they had perceived the "truth of the world", the sense of compassion and compassion for being a "god" once again shocked their thoughts.

They can't completely replicate the great deeds of the "Apocalypse", but it is also their ideal to create a new "great cause".

They believe that making the entire galaxy "embrace the truth" is a miracle that does not lose to the "apocalypse".

And they, as the second "Apocalypse", must accomplish this, whether by deception or coercion.

“…… Then, the alternate scenario can be executed. ”

Since these young civilizations are not willing to gently "embrace the truth", they can only use some cruel methods. ”

"They certainly can't understand it, even if there is evidence. Like we've done countless experiments in the past. Even if they know that it is a dream, there are a large number of people who do not want to wake up, for them, what is in the 'dream' is the reality. ”

"Sure enough...... In the end, it's up to us......"

In the end, these high-level leaders of the "benevolent recipients" who gathered together decided not to use this "gentle" means to guide the galactic civilization again.

That was their last "mercy", and now they have decided to give up this "God's" mercy and use the "God's" wrath to sober up the world.

The scene reverts to a tour of the "Vault" around the world, and the observer's whims do not end with a half-time break, but continue their journey after a while.

The dignitaries of the sheltered civilization did not dare to disagree on this matter, even if they felt that it was a waste of time.

This is the price of accepting the protection of the Lost Empire, and even their leader is no match for such an ordinary "benevolent taker" observer.

“…… But at least our safety can be assured......" Someone comforted himself and patiently listened to the observer's story.

“…… Where did I just go? I want to think about it...... It's the 'Scamvench fungus', right? ”

The observer's mind was beating as if he were talking about a crystalline life.

But no one debunked this matter, and they all nodded in agreement.

"Speaking of this fungus, I have to mention an experiment we had a long time ago."

"At that time, we were trying to imitate the 'Apocalypse' and create some unique life...... 'Apocalypse', you know? Oh, just know it......"

"Fungi became our first choice, pure fungal civilizations already exist in the galaxy, and we want to create unique fungal civilizations."

"So the scavenging properties of the 'Scamvenge fungus' inspired us, and a strange civilization that imitated the existence of civilization through corpses, but was actually made of fungi, became our choice......"

Originally, these dignitaries were silently recording the observer's statement in their hearts, after all, the opinions of members of the Lost Empire may sometimes bring unexpected benefits.

But the more they listened, the more they felt a sense of déjà vu, as if they had heard of it not long ago.

This sense of déjà vu was initially reduced to the observer's retelling, as he repeated the story of the "Apocalypse" more than ten times.

But soon, more than one dignitary suddenly trembled, his face changed drastically, and then he quickly lowered his head, not daring others to see their expressions.

This kind of small abnormal movement is very hidden, but everyone is an old fritter in the political arena, and it is habitual to pay attention to the surrounding environment frequently.

Everyone else noticed the detail, and thought of the observer of the "Merciful Take-in", and all of them immediately changed their faces and behaved in the same way.

“…… But our technology was so immature that we destroyed all three indigenous civilizations and failed to create the 'intelligent saprophytes' we wanted—a civilization of corpses and fungi. ”

"The 'Skavenge fungus' has never given birth to intelligence, and we have studied about half of the intelligent fungal organisms of the indigenous civilization, and we still have not found the results we want, and the mysteries of life still seem to limit us."

"In the end, this fungus is used by us to dispose of corpses that fill space and civilizations that have been destroyed by various accidents, and waste reuse is amazing, right?"

"Until now, we have ...... Say, Are you listening? ”

The observer's sudden inquiry made the dignitaries who were constantly communicating with the civilization behind them raise their heads, and the tension and fear on their faces as they tried to maintain their calm countenances were uncontrollable.

“…… Alas~ I know that no one is listening, so why bother with these little things? Don't you think you're lucky? ”

"You are the ones who are lucky enough to die in our gentle treatment~ Compared with those in the outside world who have to experience the cruel reality, you are really lucky!"

Listening to these words of fanaticism and pity, these dignitaries finally couldn't bear it anymore and trembled.

At this time, the civilizations that were fighting against the "Cordyceps disease" finally realized how ridiculous the "unexpected enemy" they had previously talked about.

They used to think that "Presolin" must be an "unexpected enemy" to the raging "Cordyceps", but now they have experienced this "unexpected enemy" feeling firsthand.

A galactic announcement from the "Merciful Taker" disrupted their steps and gave them a big "surprise".

[Poor little ones, your will to fight is so strong, so strong that we have to be impressed]

[But that's the end of it, I'm sorry you don't want to accept our gentle embrace]

[Is it because we're not friendly enough?] Or is it because we haven't been able to meet your expectations? 】

[The "Scamvenge fungus" that you call "Cordyceps" has not been able to defeat you, and even made you stronger, and we have to admit that the "observers" who have been observing for so long have lost their eyes]

[For the sake of your spirit, we have decided to abandon the penitentiary policy that we have been having, and although this is sad, we must do it]

So now, we're going to destroy you—]

At first, this announcement made the galactic civilization full of doubts, and the "Star Sea Community" also asked many times what "benevolent taker" meant.

But there was no response from the "benevolent recipients", as if from the moment the announcement was issued, they cut off all external communications and entered a special state.

Then, news of a massive unidentified fleet attack on many civilizations flooded the galaxy.

To be precise, it was not an "unknown fleet", and the style and attack of the battleship proved that it was a fleet from the "benevolent receiver", the former "observer" of the lost empire.

But no one believed it, and they were constantly speculating whether something had happened within the "benevolent adopters" that caused this to happen.

They actually have the innocence they shouldn't have at such a time, and the friendly "Lost Empire" seems to be still beckoning to them.

It wasn't until the leader of the Tinder Alliance came to the headquarters of the "Star Sea Community" and personally presented a message from the world around the "Sanctuary" that the galactic civilizations realized the seriousness of the situation.

A horrific event is taking place around the world of the "sanctuary", which is regarded as the last frontier of civilization.

The "benevolent recipients" used the by-product of their research into the "Scamvenge fungus", a spores capable of controlling living things, to manipulate the sheltered population on a large scale.

Caught off guard, those "civilization positions" had completely fallen, and before the last moment came, the Tinder Alliance spacecraft that had been hovering around the world of the "Sanctuary" received the news inside.

Although the ship was also destroyed by the "Merciful Receiver" who suddenly went berserk, it nevertheless transmitted valuable information back to its home planet.

And the galactic civilizations have finally understood what the true purpose of this lost empire has been urging them to accept refuge.

They want a sufficient number of galactic creatures to commit suicide at the same time to get out of the "virtual world" they are in.

This fundamentally unacceptable behavior instantly detonated the galaxy, but the hostility of the "benevolent receivers" was irreversible.

In the star chart, in addition to the red color block of "Cordyceps", the white color block belonging to the "Merciful Recipient" also turns red at this time.

This means that they have become enemies recognized by the "Star Sea Community".

And "benevolent adopters" are no longer their title, and now they have a more appropriate name: civilization annihilators

Eventually, much of the discussion was put to an end by the silent Tinder Alliance, a civilization that had long looked up to the "observer" as an example, and raised the issue with its own hands:

"Scourge Designation: Civilization Annihilator."
