Lothar......

The sea urchin-like race is called the Babel, and Lothar is a member of this race.

He was transformed into a mechanical life nearly 800 years ago, and in order to prevent him from being resurrected or regained his sanity, he and his cronies were all subjected to the most radical and brutal transformation, their nerves were stripped of their bodies, their brain systems were cut by more than 60 percent, and almost all of their memories and most of their cognition were gone.

Originally, he and his cronies would have been killed, but the Babel high-ranking wanted to keep him and his backbone to torture, so these operations were held, and since then, Lothar has completely lost his cognition and consciousness.

After eight hundred years of confusion, Lothar suddenly woke up on this day.

His memories began to gradually recover, and his past cognition began to be replenished by some immaterial force, and at the same time he perceived his cronies, under the tree, his partners, his comrades......

They were one and the same as the relatives who were loyal to him and trusted him poured their power into Lothar, which made Lothar's consciousness and thinking ability the most fully restored, almost the same as before he was transformed.

Relying on the completion of self-consciousness and the assistance of various machinery of the warship, he understood the past 800 years of the Babel tribe at a very fast speed, and also understood the current situation.

Eight hundred years ago, the Babel had a fierce civil strife.

At that time, it was more than 90 years since the sterilization curse came, there were no newborns, there was no hope, the whole society began to be chaotic, all the original social order was gone, violent organizations appeared one after another, the original Babel government collapsed because it could not solve the sterilization curse, and various violent organizations from small to dozens of people to hundreds of thousands of people controlled the force of the Babel people.

It was a dark and hopeless time, and Lothar was born in that era.

He was born in a semi-abandoned book asteroid.

Lothar was particularly fond of books, as they contained all the knowledge of the race's past.

Since the initial intellectuality, it took more than 600 years for the Babel people to reach the era of interstellar exploration, what a long time span!

This glorious history fascinated Lothar, and his favorite thing to do since he was a child was to read books and read various historical records, and he found his way in them.

Unite the majority of people, even if there is a partial solution mechanism under the sterilization curse, the rest of the people move forward bravely, continue to rely on the gifts of the gods to break through technology, break through the ceiling of civilization, as the process of civilization passes, while the life expectancy increases, it should also be possible to find a solution to the sterilization curse.

And to do this, it is necessary to perform life-increasing surgery for the whole population.

At that time, the life expectancy of the Babel people could reach more than 800 years, and some people could even exceed 1,000 years.

But this requires the pooling of the resources of the whole society, and at the same time the control of the military power of the Babel people, and it also requires the unity of the people, and there will always be people who need to sacrifice to perpetuate the race.

Lothar started on this asteroid, gathered a group of like-minded people, and moved forward step by step, starting from the unification of the asteroid, to the entire surrounding mining area, to the planet, the space station, and the detachment......

Lothar has a way, and unswerving, but also has a charismatic personality, uniting most people, and at the same time there is giving, sacrifice, and comrades, the only pity is that he started too low, when he began to sweep and occupy half of the power of the Babel tribe, a high-ranking official family of the original government also unified the other half, and the two sides faced a decisive battle in the star system.

Because the difference in strength is not large, and both sides have weapons of mass destruction, once a war starts, the biggest possibility is that the whole clan will destroy itself, so Lothar plans to negotiate peace.

However, the two sides have very different philosophies, and Lothar's philosophy is to unite the majority, unite as one, break through the limitations of technology to increase the life expectancy of the whole people, and then break into the fifth coordinate and enter the new world to explore hope.

And the leader of the government is also a hero, decisive killing, the path he chooses is to select the elite, with the lives of the majority of civilians to solve the problem of giving birth to offspring, and at the same time, these civilians are not killed at once, but mechanical transformation, one at a time to squeeze the spirituality, if the future technology is enough, or solve the sterilization curse, these civilians can also be restored.

This is actually the terrifying path of the silver species.

In that case, Babel scientists and scholars also extrapolated and evolved the plans of the two parties, and the final result was...... The success rate of Lothar's plan was too low.

Once the national life expectancy surgery is carried out, it will require a large amount of materials, manpower and material resources, and so many people will survive, without offspring, may not be able to see anything for hundreds of years, but once the sterilization curse cannot be solved after a few hundred years, the whole family will immediately die violently.

This is gambling, what if the technology ceiling is not broken? What if I don't find hope after entering the fifth coordinates?

Scientists and scholars estimate that the success rate of this practice in perpetuating the race may be less than one percent.

Look at the gentle unity of the majority, this warmth is worthless to the cold universe!

On the other hand, although the government's approach is extremely cruel, the elites retain the most knowledge and ability, keep them, continue them, the essence of the race is there, and the civilians are not killed at one time, which can last at least a thousand years A small number of births, although cruel, the success rate of this practice for the continuation of the race is much higher.

The irreconcilable contradictions between Lothar and the Heroes are a collision of their paths, and at this critical moment when the civil war is about to destroy the race, the Hero is hard-hearted and says that he would rather let the race be destroyed together than compromise and surrender.

Lothar, on the other hand, was deeply in love with his race and this splendid civilization, and he loved them so much that after studying the outcome of the two paths, he finally chose to surrender......

He fought for the continuation of the race, not his personal authority, and if he traded his life for the continuation of the race, he felt that this business would definitely not be a loss.

But...... He was deceived.

Not only did he transform him in the most brutal way, but his subordinates, relatives, and friends who should have been pardoned during the peace talks did not escape, and together with him, they all suffered the most terrifying, poisonous, and cruel transformation surgery.

In this way, he was in a daze for more than 800 years, and it is only now that he has awakened.

At this time, Lothar already knew the course of the race in the past eight hundred years, except for a few hundred high-ranking people, billions of races either died or were transformed into mechanical parts, and even the elites of the race did not escape, but those racial rentiers and their families survived, and even the middle-level elites were not guaranteed...... They're all brutes!

And at this time, in this fourth coordinate of the river system, there was a sudden turnaround, a young race called human appeared, this race has the artifact oath of the once golden race, and this race did not embark on the cruel internal friction of the silver race, but retained more than a billion living people, and planned to embark on the road of the golden race.

The most important thing is that human beings really have an effective way, that is, to send the mechanically modified life that has been spiritually exhausted into the dark matter world, so that the communication up and down can give birth to a limited number of newborns, although the number is certainly very small, or even enough to continue a race, but it is a hope!

With the oath as an agreement, it is impossible to break the oath, and there is hope, and the political form and concept of this human race are unheard of, as if it was the glory of the golden clan in the past.

If Lothar encounters such a race, as long as he can ensure that the other party cannot break the oath, then he will immediately follow, because this is for the continuation of the racial civilization.

To his rage, the higher-ups of his race refused to join because they were afraid that the mechanically modified middle and lower classes would liquidate them after gaining psionic energy!!

That tyrant is still alive now, and he controls a lot of power from the top, which is also rejected by him, and that's not all, he has contacted a large number of high-level people like him, wanting to morally kidnap humans, and even want to reproduce the kind of coercion that was used against Lothar at the beginning, wanting humans to recognize their privileges, and maybe even have darker ideas.

Its action is to unite the army and swoop down on the temple of thought that all life in this river system is hopeful, and it is the only place that can shelter life under the light of the stars.

Just like when he faced Lothar, he coerced the other party with the destruction of his race.

But has this hero lived too long and his brain has become stupid?

The reason why Lothar surrendered and compromised in the first place was because it was Lothar's race, and Lothar loved this race deeply, but why should humans be coerced by you? If you dare to attack the Temple of Mind, then the human race can take advantage of the situation to wipe you out completely, and you don't even need to find an excuse.

I thought you could flip the table at any time, but you were eating at the table where you were eating, and others looked at you like a clown.

Holding a knife at his neck, do you really think that the other party has a hole in his brain, and he will be killed by you for your life?

Lothar was angry and anxious, and immediately checked the situation on the battlefield through the instinctive psionic information sharing.

As these civilizations that want to coerce humanity unite, hundreds of millions of warships are attacking the temple of thought, sending messages to other civilizations not to allow referendums.

Then the psionic fleet on the human side moved directly, and before it got closer, it awakened the psionic energy of these hundreds of millions of warships through psionic resonance.

Only about thirty percent of the battleships awakened, while the other battleships directly turned off, and the mechanical transformation life inside died, or was relieved.

But just this thirty percent of the awakened warships immediately turned their guns and aimed at the motherships of these civilizations.

These civilizations have not signed any oath with humans, so their lives are not protected at all, no matter how the high-level leaders on these motherships wail and plead, and call humans hypocrites or something, this can't stop these psionic warships from directly resonating with the mechanical transformation life on the mothership, trapping these high-level people in the mothership.

Some of the middle and lower layers of the recovery directly blew up the mothership into flying ashes, and all the high-level insides died without a place to be buried, while some of the middle and lower layers kept the mothership...... But it wasn't a mercy or forgiveness, but it was the control of the mothership's automatic systems, which restrained all the upper echelons, and then immediately began to mechanically modify them......

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and the hatred of blood will be repaid with the torture of blood!

The Great Reckoning was immediately launched, without mercy or compromise, and the nearly a thousand or so silver high-ranking people were subjected to the most feared torture.

Lothar saw the mothership of his race, and through psionic resonance, he also saw the inhuman torture that hundreds of high-level people were suffering, all of them wailed and wanted to escape, but under the mechanical tentacles of various mechanical arms, their flesh and blood were peeled off, their nerves were separated, and the middle and lower layers did not want to let them be parts, but directly stuffed them into the nutrient solution, and then through the electron, fortunately, inflicted endless pain and nightmares on them......

They will be tormented between life and death for a long, long time until their consciousness and spiritual abilities are completely destroyed......

"Don't! They are the last living beings of the race, at least let them reproduce......"

Lothar cried out, but his voice was so weak under the endless thoughts of hatred.

He watched as the last living life of his race vanished.

Then he fell silent.
