MTL - Become The Guard AI Of The Lost Civilization After Transmigration-Chapter 155 One hundred and fifty-fifth so-called "circulation"
Chapter 155 The one hundred and fifty-fifth so-called "cycle"
"...It's unbelievable that this galaxy can have such a powerful civilization, even compared to our peak period..."
The high-level executives of the "Civilization Destroyer" debated fiercely about the origin of the "Guardian" who suddenly appeared.
Of course they knew the existence of this "Mechanical Lost Empire", but they only knew it not long ago.
At that time, they learned through the communication of the Fire Seed Alliance that there was still a remote omnic civilization in the galaxy, but they were arrogant and ignored it.
Naturally, they don't know what the "Guardians" have done in the galaxy, and they don't even know when the "Circle Crisis" happened.
At that time, they were still called "observers", and all the observation instruments were concentrated on those indigenous civilizations that they regarded as pets.
Consciously being the successors of the "Apocalypse", they don't think that there can be a civilization stronger than them in the galaxy, and the deep-rooted arrogance is always the root of the demise of the powerful.
Even now, they are unwilling to admit that the "Guardian" who suffered an astonishing "0:10000" battle loss is much stronger than them.
"—That's it! That omnic civilization is indeed very powerful, but as long as he is still in this universe, they are absolutely impossible to be our opponents!"
Another executive of the "Civilization Annihilator" spoke loudly about their last resort, and looked frantically at the "Reality Perforator" that had been installed in a huge instrument.
This is their "artifact", the supreme masterpiece left by the "Apocalypse".
When they first discovered this mysterious spherical instrument, they did not associate it with the "Apocalypse", but studied it as an ordinary "relic".
But as the research progressed, they gradually resolved some of the secrets of this instrument.
"Changing certain laws of the universe to some extent", this is the most important power of this instrument.
Even if this thing sounds incredible, it seems that it is not a creation that the civilization in this galaxy can produce, but the "Civilization Destroyer" has verified its effect through experiments.
This "altering the law" effect is only effective for a short period of time, as the universe seems to return to normal soon.
But if it is used properly, it can also achieve the effect equivalent to the "Wishing Machine".
Although it takes countless resources and a long preparation time to start every time, there are only a few records of using "Civilization Destroyer" in its history.
But at that time, the "Civilization Annihilator" who was still called "Observer", they used the instrument for the last time out of curiosity, wanting to see the "truth of the galaxy".
So they found that they were in a "false" universe, and they were "trapped" in it.
The sense of collapse of the Ju clan only lasted for a short while, and then their trend of thought took a huge turn.
They firmly believe that there is some way to get out of this "virtual world", as they think the "Apocalypse" did.
And this "reality penetrating instrument" was interpreted by them as a product like a "console in the virtual world", otherwise it would be impossible to explain why it can produce these magical effects.
Those omnic civilizations are understood by them as "administrators in the virtual world", the supervisory robots left here by the creator of this "virtual world".
They perfected their "virtual world" theory logically and self-consistently, and enshrined it as the supreme truth, and fanatically implemented their decision—to lead all beings in the galaxy out of the sea of suffering.
"... I really didn't expect that the preparation we made to show the world the 'truth of the world' would actually be used in this kind of thing..."
Some of these high-level people feel distressed about the activation of the "Reality Penetration Instrument" this time. If they want to change the original plan of "breaking the virtual" into "destroying the 'Guardian'", then they will spend an unknown amount of time on the next activation.
And they will definitely be "misunderstood" more, because they failed to show evidence to the Galactic civilization.
"But there is no other way, that strange omnic civilization is unexpectedly powerful, and only in this way can the continuation of the plan be guaranteed."
After everyone expressed their opinions, the "Reality Penetration Instrument" finally started its final step of activation procedures.
The "Civilization Destroyer" has already determined their wish, not wishing "destroy the 'Guardian'", but wishing "obtain the power enough to destroy the 'Guardian'".
Even at this last moment, what they think of is to regain their position and let the world see that they are stronger, rather than directly erasing the threat.
The fleet of the "Civilization Destroyer" began to retreat in its entirety. The fleet that had ravaged the galaxy before had been almost destroyed by the "Guardian", leaving only the last few mobile fleets remaining on the periphery.
Now, in order to buy time for the “Reality Perforator” to start, all these fleets have stopped at the galaxy gate, hoping to delay the “Guardian” one or two.
And actually saw the powerful galactic civilizations of the "Guardian", all silently put this "Mechanical Lost Empire" in an unspeakable high position.
On the home planet of the Pyro Alliance, the atmosphere has changed from a sense of death to joy, and a large number of celebrations are happening almost all over the planet.
Logically speaking, this kind of "champagne opening at halftime" shouldn't happen. After all, the war between "Guardian" and "Civilization Destroyer" has not yet been completely decided.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see which one is in the "crushing trend". The leader of the Tinder Alliance doesn't even go to the border to recycle, but the whole country has a three-day holiday.
"...Leader, we have just re-established a bridge with the 'Galactic Community', and have connected to other civilizations in the galaxy through them."
"Unsurprisingly, the headquarters of the community suffered a devastating blow. The 'Civilization Destroyer' attacked the giant space station with a colossus and sealed it in an isolation barrier."
"But the community still managed to rebuild a temporary headquarters in a galaxy and has been contacting other civilizations. We are the last batch."
The diplomats of the Tinder Alliance reported this news to their leaders, and also brought another piece of good news:
"In addition, the defeat of the 'Civilization Destroyer' has been confirmed. As you said, the 'Guardian' destroyed those fleets that we had no way to do..."
The leader of the Fire Alliance, who was in a relaxed state for a long time, changed his posture comfortably, but his first sentence was:
"Is there any civilization absent? It stands to reason that we have somehow attracted the attention of the Civilization Annihilator, and other civilizations should have a chance to escape."
In response, the diplomat shook his head and said:
"At present, every civilization is very lucky to have survived. Even if some have lost all their territories, their exile fleets have also found traces in the 'refuge zone', and they should be under the shelter of those lost empires. among."
"...That's not bad, although the 'reunion' seems to only exist in novels, but we are also very lucky to achieve this ending."
The leader was genuinely happy about this event, and the others were infected by his smile and laughed too, feeling that it was indeed quite good to have such a "happy ending" in this galactic crisis.
Just smiling, someone remembered something, and then said sadly: "...But, those civilizations controlled by the "civilization destroyer" with fungal spores seem to have no way to save..."
“…Although they are surrenderers, it is also true that they have been deceived. Maybe after the destruction of the ‘Civilization Destroyer’, dozens of civilizations will be buried with them…”
His words made the audience fall into silence for a while. "Destruction of a civilization" is just a few strings of characters on the report, but behind it represents countless creatures that have undergone long evolution and turned into dust of history.
In this regard, the leader of the Tinder Alliance was very calm:
“It’s normal to have compassion, but everyone pays for their decisions. Occasionally, opportunism works, but it doesn’t always work.”
"Everyone who chooses to escape has shared the pressure of their responsibility on others. If they have nothing to pay, then who should those who are fighting to the death cry to?"
"Collective will, technological level, civilization strength, choice judgment, and even luck are all part of the civilization process. We are still standing here, and they perish, which shows that we have something better than them."
“We can only work harder, learn from it, and move on.”
The leader finished these words in one breath, and everyone in the field was rejuvenated. The previous sadness was swept away, and instead they became full of enthusiasm.
One of them said: "Leader, are the destroyed 'Civilization Destroyer' fleets going to be recovered? We may be able to discover the secrets of the lost empire by reverse-engineering the wreckage."
"Take it! Of course it must be recycled!" Although the words were very passionate, the leader still maintained a lazy state, just holding a plan in front of him.
"Studying the remains of these lost warships has always been a good thing that can't be met. We didn't get a share of the war between the 'Watcher' and the 'Farwalker' before. We can't miss it this time."
"But you have to wait until after the holiday, now is the rest time, there is no need to be so anxious."
"I know what you want to say, but only a small part of the powerful secrets of the lost empire are contained in these wrecks."
He glanced around at the others, projected dozens of battle scenes of the lost empire warships onto the scene, and pointed them out to everyone:
"It's not been a day or two in the Milky Way to study these wrecks. Even if our standards are poor, we can still find some differences."
"I have a research report from the Mingbo Technological Dictatorship. They were lucky enough to get some of the wreckage during the last battle between 'Watcher' and 'Far Striker' and started researching it."
"Research has shown that the technology used by those Lost Empire warships is not fundamentally different from the technology used by us."
"They may have some kind of extraordinary energy utilization method, which can make their shield and cruise ability much stronger than ours."
"But in fact, the weapons they use are not much different from ours, and some are even currency popular in the galaxy."
"But why does the same weapon have 200%, 300% or even 500% performance in the hands of the Lost Empire? This is the truth we need to find."
As he said that, facing the surprised expressions of the people around him, the leader pointed out a secret that the "Galactic Community" once discovered in the legacy of "The Silent One".
"...Maybe, our understanding of the lost empire is not completely correct. They are not completely 'lost', but have been strengthening themselves through some mysterious method similar to 'circulation'."
"This kind of 'circulation' brings little effect, but under the blessing of the length of time, it has a terrifying effect."
"Aren't you always curious about why I am sure that the Guardians will win? That is because I think that the 'cycle' they carry out is far longer than other civilizations..."
