Chapter 123: The Pessimist
The books lying in the box were of great size, thirty inches long and twenty inches wide.
The shell of the book is made of a thin sheet of metal, beautifully designed, and its edges are decorated with fine industrial patterns, which are both solemn and mysterious, and the metal cover can be opened from the top to reveal a door to the mystery.
When Xia Xiu gently opened the metal cover, revealing the inner pages of the book, he found that the pages were not paper, but were woven from a special fiber, which was tough and durable. The traces left by the years on these fibers have only added a bit of antiquity, and they still remain strong and intact.
The symbols on the pages are strange and intricate, and the text symbols drawn with a brush shimmer with a subtle sheen on the metal pages.
These symbols are neither the common curvilinear hieroglyphs, nor do they belong to any alphabet known to man.
They are strange in color, some like the blue of the deep sea, some like the red of flames, and some like the green of new leaves.
And looking at the words, he couldn't put some of the information together into a meaningful whole, that is, the fonts would become blurry after just three seconds.
Xia Xiu's fingers caressed the imprint on the book, and he felt a strange sense of intimacy in the book, which echoed a certain breath in his heart.
This is...... Completion collapse of the mother virus. That's why this book gives him a sense of intimacy.
The body of this book is permeated with the same kind of mimusu, but the [completion collapse] on the book is different from his body, the former is more thick and load-bearing, and at a glance you know that it has gone through multiple layers of iterations, and this multi-level iteration of mimusu can be seen at a glance that it is an anti-theft tool researched by the cluster to prevent information leakage.
The amount on it is very large, and the average [crowner] will be affected by it once they come into contact with them.
However, for Xia Xiu, who has a [Perfect Prosthetic Eye], the impact of this kind of thing is basically minimal.
"Perfect Prosthetic Eye, Open!"
Xia Xiu's pupils began to change strangely.
Those eyes, which were originally shining with golden light, were now as white as snow, without a trace of impurities.
Washing away all the dust, penetrating the vain righteous eyes of the world, ignoring the vast and incomparable blockade of words.
He could now read the symbols written on it thoroughly.
"Adam, can you decipher it?"
[The above text content belongs to the same language scripting system as the content on the chip you gave me earlier, and I have now deciphered and transcribed the scripting language-]
"The contents of the chip have been deciphered, and what is written on it."
Xia Xiu, who was holding a metal book, heard [Adam] decipher the contents of the chip, and subconsciously asked with curiosity.
[Do you need to see the data on the Himarian Shield walking on Callisto?] ]
"Wait a minute, you can help me translate the text in my hand now."
Xia Xiu shook his head and motioned for [Adam] to pay attention to the text in his hand first.
[Understood, now start translating-]
[Adam] complied with Xia Xiu's instructions and began translating the text.
Soon, the text symbols that were originally vague to Xia Xiu began to become words that could be read.
His gaze began to scan the text.
-- Civilization Collapse Record --
β β β 's impact cannot be directly dealt with at the current level of civilization of Is.
The Race Council has launched the "All-Race Takeover Project" to counter external factors that could lead to a collision scenario. All ISS instances must adhere to the "Bitter Winter" guidelines to ensure self-sufficiency in extremely low temperatures. A number of remote sensing satellites and detection equipment have been deployed to monitor temperature anomalies in the planetary range in real time.
All of them have been genetically modified to survive in extremely cold temperatures, and are ready to carry out evacuation operations at all times. All research projects prioritize solutions to impact scenarios that deal with β β β .
His arrival will inevitably trigger a global reality failure and a permanent ice age on all habitable planets, and the scope of influence has expanded to the asteroid belt.
His followers brought the method of pulling β β β to one of the regimes of the "Special Marked Planet", and that kind of traction method was the power of the passage made by the divine kingdom of the Void Dragon, and his followers planned to use the power of the channel to bring β β β and several identical planets into the vicinity of the "Special Marked Planet", and β β β to try to break the "crystal film".
If the impact is successful, the stars will definitely work with him to eject a large amount of reality interference pollution on the Sun near the "specially marked planet", which will inevitably lead to the failure of reality within the solar system, affecting the Sun's nuclear fusion and heat transfer processes.
The resulting chain reaction deprives the sun of light and heat, and the surface temperature of the "specially marked planet" drops dramatically, entering a permanent ice age.
We've already done three race-wide takeovers, two of them because of the influence of β β β , and this is the fourth time, and he's destroying the planet with β β β again.
β β β It is moving towards the "Specially Marked Planet" at 6.65Γ10^{-7} light years per year, and will impact it 100 years later, which is a very, very slow speed, much lower than the speed of the average celestial body, because one light year is a very huge unit of distance. In fact, this velocity equates to it moving only about 6.2Γ10^{-3} AU per year, as Jupiter's average distance from the "specially marked planet" is about 5.2 AU.
This is different from usual, probably due to the influence of the "crystal film", this celestial movement will sink into the viscous aether, and if you are not careful, the entire celestial body will be swallowed by the aether influx.
The Race Council was meant to move again, but we found that our race was "locked up", and what "locked" us up in the terminology of the planet is called - [miracle].
Someone approached us, it was a special human who claimed to need our help, and if we could help them with an engineering project, it would free our population.
We didn't actually believe this human at first, because it was the other party who brought the method of pulling the passage path to the marked planet, and the other party obviously found their "mistake" and was trying to save it.
We would have wanted to reject him, as the [Mastermind] is still marking planets, so we can project weapons of war from within the [Sea of Monsters], and we intend to reclaim the restrained people by force.
However, he brought us a special device and a document, and when we saw these two things, we temporarily stopped thinking about using force to plunder.

This is the content of the first page, Xia Xiu quickly read it, and many of the contents of the text can be related to the events in the Land of the Sea of Fog.
The so-called special marker above undoubtedly refers to Terra, and the depiction of the so-called end times from the text is related to the Iberian [Electron Channel], according to the content of the text, [Electron Channel] is pulling something indescribable out of the ether and carrying it towards Terra.
It was a celestial body, and according to the obscure description of that thing above, it represented some kind of great being that resides on it.
"Iberia really knows something, that is, the whole sea of fog has something to do with them, and it has a lot to do with [the electron channel]. Depending on the situation, the appearance of the Sea of Fog represents the breakdown of their cooperation with Is, so the Isis race will pull out the war weapon from the [Monster Sea] and project it near Iberia, and they want to recapture the [Mastermind] on the hub and run away with the existing clansmen. β
Xia Xiu mentally connected the information content of the text with what was happening now, and his fingers pressed the book and began to turn the second page.

The record comes from the "Iberian Academy of Sciences", which was given to us by that human.
The [miracles] of mankind are in some way the same as the stars and the living gods, they are "one kind."
Documentation:
ββββ is a massive, non-human-intelligible biological entity whose morphology and properties are highly inconsistent with known taxonomy.
ββββ is a large, amorphous mass of flesh covered in tentacles, mouthparts, and sensory organs, with physical characteristics that are between those of many known organisms.
Preliminary research suggests that ββββ may have strong ties to the [DATA EXPUNGED] clan and the continent of [DATA EXPUNGED].
ββββ is believed to have resided in a fort at the top of [DATA EXPUNGED] Mountain, where he was worshipped by the inhabitants of the mainland.
ββββ possesses a powerful psychic influence, capable of producing extreme psychic effects on those who observe it directly.
Individuals affected by it often exhibit severe mental confusion and persistent symptoms of phobia.
There have been reports of ββββ being able to petrify contacts into so-called "living statues".
*********
They already knew of His existence, and they wanted to work with us to create weapons that would "confront" Him, and we agreed to their request because their so-called "confrontation" was too lowly.
And, we decided to make this weapon on Callisto, and through [ElectronChannel], we easily got to Callisto.
Rather than making weapons, though, I'd rather call them libraries.
They will preserve the spark of civilization.

Xia Xiu quickly finished reading the second page.
Weapons crafted on Callisto......
"Adam, bring me the information about the shield of Himaria." He said quickly to [Adam].
[Okay-]
[Opening document-]
[-Documentation has been expanded-]
[Himaritan Shield is a group of large rock formations resembling quadrupeds.] These structures have an average height of between 300 and 700 meters and move at a constant speed on the surface of Calmede at a speed of about 60 km/h. The Shields of Himaria do not normally react to the outside environment, but appear to be attracted to bright light, and the intensity of storms within a 5 km radius is significantly reduced, and according to certain protocols, their first command is the Is.
Essential:
It is a consciousness transfer and war weapon designed by the Isis race to suppress the arrival of the ice age of Ganymede and create a stable stance on a planetary scale.
Location: Distributed over the surface of Callisto, moving in an irregular path.
No signs of life: The shield of Himaria does not show any signs of life in the traditional sense.
No anomalies: Their presence does not appear to cause any known natural or scientific anomalies.
Shield of Himaritan features:
a. Core of Consciousness Transfer:
The interior of the Himaritan Shield contains a consciousness transfer core for the Isis race, which only members of the Isis race can use to transfer consciousness.
b. Inhibition of field generation:
It can emit a powerful suppression field to slow or prevent the onset of ice ages.
When all of Himaria's Shields are activated at the same time, they are able to wrap around the entire Ganymede, forming a massive planet-scale stance that is used to suppress reality-bending reactions.
c. Light energy absorption and release:
Sensitive to bright light, able to absorb light energy and store it.
When necessary, it is able to release stored light energy, forming an intense glow that is used for illumination or as a defense mechanism.
d. Vibration Perception and Generation:
Able to perceive the surrounding environment through ground vibrations, it is highly sensitive to distant activities.
It is capable of generating strong vibrational waves, which are used for communication or as a means of attack.
e. Keeper of Knowledge:
Each Himaritan shield is equivalent to a memory of knowledge, and the internal information is kept using the most primitive method of burning.
This knowledge can only be unlocked in certain ways or under certain conditions, such as certain technological devices or rituals.
f. Self-healing and regenerative ability:
When damaged, it is able to absorb minerals from its surroundings and repair itself.
This regenerative ability is extremely slow, but almost impossible to completely destroy.
Structure & Features:
Quantity: Approximately 400 Himaritan Shields in total, distributed across the surface of Ganymede.
Structure: Constructed of rocky material, shaped like a quadruped, 300-700 meters high.
Origin and Purpose: The Shield of Himaria was created by the Isis race to deal with a specific cosmic threat, and has a high level of technological content and strategic value. ]
"Write the word in stone......"
When Xia Xiu read all the messages from [Himaritan Shield], his first thought was this.
"Run, don't look back, it's really downright pessimism, it seems that this is the choice that Iberia has made for humanity."
In the eyes of Iberia, humanity is confronted with a great group of beings that can never be defeated.
If [Crystal Heaven] is shattered, human civilization will be swallowed by the stars.
There is no shame in running away from them.
"Let's see what kind of surprises Iberia, the Iss, and the unknown third race have in store for us."
The fourth sword-wielder in the kingdom of heaven began to turn the third page.
