Abyss Sequence-Chapter 418 - 75: Close Encounter of the Fourth Kind

Crackle, crackle, crackle!

An electromagnetic rifle rapidly shot bullets, strafing the approaching swarm of mutated rabbits.

"This planet's environment is so harsh! It's full of wild beasts everywhere!"

Gugu Mo complained to his friend beside him.

Listening to his friend's complaints, Keke Ta answered with telekinesis, "It's not a bad thing to have many beasts. At least we can analyze whether we can eat the food of this planet and whether the bacteria here are effective on us."

Recklessly exposing their fur to the alien atmosphere was the most common death method for explorers from Bota Star, even more common than death by attack from large alien creatures because not every alien planet has large creatures.

After cleaning up a swarm of mutated rabbits, Gugu Mo chatted casually with Keke Ta, "The orbital period of this planet is one-third of Bota Star's, but its rotation period is one-third slower. The civilization on this planet has ample time to develop; I wonder how advanced their military is."

Keke Ta also casually chatted with Gugu Mo, "They were able to send signals to space twenty-seven years ago; maybe we are now in their nature reserve?"

"Their sky's eye should have discovered us by now, right? The receiver detected electromagnetic signals, but why haven't they come looking for us? Are they planning to attack us directly?"

"I don't know; maybe they're still discussing it. You know, every time it comes to this, people up high always have a bunch of meetings. They say they're gathering the wisdom of the masses, but don't they always end up deciding to follow their own plans?"

Perhaps because intelligent beings share common traits, just as Gugu Mo and Keke Ta said, the United Government had already discovered these suddenly-appeared intelligent beings in the Western Domain.

However, how to contact them or whether to eliminate them directly was still under discussion by the United Government.

Some believe these intelligent beings, resembling upright sloths, are the aliens previously communicated with Blue Star. They seemed friendly when they sent messages before, perhaps there could be some exchange; others believe they must be eliminated. Blue Star is vast, accommodating billions, but also small, unable to house an intelligent race not conforming to human aesthetics.

What's more, if these aliens truly are guests, why haven't they notified the Blue Star People of their arrival?

Judging by the way they're building residences, they surely intend to settle on Blue Star, so they must be completely eradicated.

Everyone thinks they're right, no one can convince others. In this situation, several rounds of voting have been conducted, but none of the plans have gained more than seventy percent support and can't be executed.

The United Government's internal meetings emphasize the minority obeying the majority. However, the majority must have more than seventy percent of the votes; otherwise, the proposal will be rejected.

In such a scenario, a strange proposal emerged—

Yulia had become Sequence One, being extraordinary even in normal times. She could represent the Blue Star People to make contact with those aliens. If the aliens harbored malicious intent, Yulia could directly take action to kill them.

This time, the votes in favor of the proposal exceeded seventy percent, and the proposal was officially approved.

Thus, the United Government quickly contacted Yulia, informing her that aliens had appeared on Blue Star.

Yulia immediately accepted the United Government's invitation.

Her current body strength is higher than Yan Luo's; even facing a nuclear bomb head-on might not necessarily be fatal, as she could use Magic Power to shield herself from the high temperatures of a nuclear explosion, preventing it from touching her body.

Her Magic Power was no longer limited to Engraving type, allowing free usage.

As a result, Yulia was very confident.

She didn't ask the United Government to dispatch an aircraft to pick her up; instead, she inquired about the aliens' location, as she wanted to try her newly acquired ability.

Yulia walked to the outer protective shield of No. 2 Crimson, jumped twice in place, then suddenly summoned her Magic Power, propelling herself into the sky.

The clouds in the sky parted with a roar, and Yulia, breaking through the sound barrier, soared through the heavens.

Since discovering she could freely summon Magic Power, unrestricted by Engraving, Yulia had attempted flight, but only within No. 2 Crimson.

Magic Power is like a wish machine; as long as the user inputs their thoughts, no matter the principle, the Magic will make the wish come true—provided the Magic Power is sufficient.

As Sequence One, Yulia's Magic Power was naturally abundant; under the effect of Saint's Blood, she could replenish it while consuming it, without needing extra mental effort to gather Magic Power. As such, even supersonically crossing half of Blue Star was feasible.

After flying for over six hours at supersonic speed, Yulia reached the city near her destination—half of that time was gliding through the air to recover Magic Power by using aerodynamic forces.

Using this city as the starting coordinate, Yulia quickly calculated the coordinates of the aliens' location, precisely pinpointing where they were hiding.

Thus, she promptly flew over.

Very soon, Yulia arrived above the hiding spot of the Bota Star people.

This was an abandoned city. It should have been bustling once, with skyscrapers everywhere, but now the glass was shattered, trees and flowers grew from the walls, vines twisting around railings and growing vertically over fifty meters, joining the ground below.

Abandoned cars were scattered on the streets, occasionally spotting some fragmented and unidentifiable animal bones.

When Yulia arrived, she startled some high-nesting birds, which dared not approach due to her imposing aura. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Without wearing an exoskeleton, only carrying a Chain-saw Sword, Yulia landed on the rooftop of a high-rise, stepping on the protruding edge, looking down the street below.

Two figures in protective suits were slowly walking in the street.

In their hands, they held tools resembling guns. With Yulia's current vision, she could see clearly that their equipment lacked a trigger, but there was something resembling a generator at the gunstock.

"Electromagnetic rifle?" Yulia was very curious how they used the weapon without a trigger.

Before long, the two aliens encountered a mutated creature. Yulia saw, though they made no movement, the generator suddenly began to spin rapidly.

Bullets zoomed swiftly along the track, electromagnetically catapulting toward the distant mutated creature.

The mutated creature, unlike a demon, had no deflection shield and was easily killed by the high-heat weapon.

With just a few rounds, the mutated creature was slain by the two aliens.

Yulia, now entirely enhanced by the power of Engraving, could see clearly even with one eye.

From the size of that mutated creature, it appeared fatal-level. The aliens' projectiles pierced its skull, shattering its brain but not exiting the other side of its head, indicating the projectile's kinetic energy dissipated entirely after penetrating the brain.

This weapon posed no threat to city-breaking level mutated creatures, let alone to the present Yulia.

Confirming that the aliens had no capability to threaten her, Yulia took flight again, breaking the sound barrier once more over the abandoned city with a terrific roar.

In the next moment, the Bota Star people hiding in an abandoned department store saw a creature starkly different from them appearing before them.

"It" was clad in clothing, armed with a weapon, easily identifiable as an intelligent lifeform.

Komore stepped forward and sent a telepathic message to Yulia, "Greetings, esteemed strong one."

No language learning was needed, as Komore could directly project part of its consciousness into Yulia's mind for conversation.

"Allow me to maintain the telepathic connection between us, enabling us to converse."

The telekinesis could turn all Komore's thoughts into concepts that Yulia could understand.

Yulia raised an eyebrow, thoughts of repulsion, confusion, and curiosity surfacing in her mind.

She then restrained her surplus thoughts through meditation, speaking with Komore via telekinesis.

"What are you? Why have you come to Blue Star?"

Komore felt a sense of helplessness, replying, "It's a somewhat long story..."

"It's okay, go ahead, I am willing to listen."

Thus, Komore slowly began to narrate…
