Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

The surface of Ross 128 is still rumbling in the distance.

Cloyat's behavior of extracting stellar energy for his own use has obviously caused irreversible damage to the red dwarf star. Its lifespan has been greatly affected, and may even cause rapid death in a short period of time.

But it's all over.

Facing the corpse of the Star Eater that was gradually disintegrating into spots of light in front of him, Su Zhou calmly let go of his hand.

The arm guard on his hand soon cracked, and the charred plant roots shattered and dissipated like a cloud of smoke, revealing what was originally wrapped under the outer armor and flesh, leaving only a charred appearance full of cracks. Crystal arm bone.

After all, the antimatter engines on Su Zhou's arms were not giant spouts on the back of the moon, but were temporarily made of non-core sacred wood materials. Their protective capabilities were indeed insufficient and they could not withstand such strong firepower for too long.

However, even if it is only ten seconds, it is completely enough.

The Star-Destroying Blade is a sure-kill blow in the form of Su Zhou's cosmic battle and planetary engine colonization equipment, and its power is truly unparalleled.

The enhanced antimatter jet is enough to destroy the shell of the Star Eater and completely burn its internal structure. The Dutian Divine Thunder contained inside can annihilate even the soul. It can be said that everything can be cut in two. The most powerful blow.

And tell the truth.

As its name suggests, the Star-Destroying Blade can only cut planets.

Its technical essence is very simple. It uses a planetary engine-level engine to drive a super large thermal cutting knife... But how to make the knife so big is also a sophisticated technology, and how to use this knife to cut people , it is the most advanced technology.

If Cloyat, the Star Eater, was not overconfident in himself and could not move due to the fact that he relied on stars to absorb energy, the time it took for the Star-Slashing Blade to charge would have been enough for Su Zhou's opponents at the same level to run at least tens of thousands of kilometers away.

If you are faster and can escape by turning into light, you will have to travel a million kilometers - can you kill it?

Naturally, I can only cut the stars.

"As expected of the Dusk Familia..."

Staring at the shattered fragments of the Star Eater in front of him, Su Zhou slowly released the divine wood armor form, and peeled off the layer of divine wood armor that had been completely overloaded.

He couldn't help but shake his head slightly: "I'm really not afraid of death."

No matter how many times the other party shouted to the church members for help before, his brain was not working properly.

But ultimately, Cloyat is a member of the Order of the Void.

His fighting methods obviously have nothing to do with the core idea of ​​'ensuring one's own safety' that most practitioners fulfill.

If Su Zhou relied on his immortal blood, modular body, and various transformations to transfer damage, he would not use the daily fighting method of injuring the enemy by a thousand and damaging himself by a hundred - that's it, he also I don't dare to raise the damage ratio too high, because if I accidentally lose it, I'm afraid even the immortal blood won't be able to save him.

But the members of the Void Order, with their fighting methods, will self-destruct and be locked in their souls if they cannot defeat them.

Fortunately, Su Zhou cut quickly, otherwise the Star Eater would have put on such a good show.

Boom boom... the vibrations came from the surface of the star.

After finishing his contemplation, Su Zhou turned his head and saw that on the side of Ross 128 close to the battlefield, a large number of coronas began to sound - the dazzling firelight was like soaring dragons, penetrating through a distance of millions of meters, heading towards It extends to the deep space of the distant universe.

Coincidentally, a corona swept towards the direction of the young man.

But Su Zhou didn't care.

The hot storm is rushing like a torrent. The solar storm is mixed with the hot stellar gas and can easily burn the surface of a planet into rock vapor.

But Zhu Zhou's body stood erect in the craziness of the star, like a rock that was motionless despite being hit by the waves.

The endless light and black dragon shape are imprinted in the vacuum of the universe, like an eternal seal.

Su Zhou allowed the storm to wash away the debris and powder on the surface of his body, like taking a rare hot bath.

With the power of earthly immortals, one can walk on stars and protect themselves in the corona; while with the power of heavenly immortals, they can ignore almost all natural phenomena in the universe and enter the interior of stars to explore.

Celestial beings can even use this cradle of all life as their own energy source. Cosmic behemoths like the Star Eater, including the Ether Dragon, can use it as food if they evolve into a complete form. .

[Shasha... Marshal, how are you now? 】

Because of the fragmentation of the spiritual world and the raging solar storm, the Earth Fleet spent a lot of effort to connect to Su Zhou through the reinforced frequency: [We observed a very terrible explosion phenomenon, and even the surface of the Mars Sun was destroyed in the aftermath. Destroyed, really terrifying. 】

【Are you okay? 】

"I'm fine."

Hearing Tang Yuan's familiar voice, Su Zhou smiled. He moved his eyes away from Ross 128, where corona and flare outbreaks were becoming more and more frequent, and then said apologetically: "That's right, I might need you to tell me. De, and all Huoxi people."

"The stars in the Huoxi Starfield... may explode."

【ah? 】

For a moment, all the Earth Fleet crew members who heard these words, as well as Xiang De, the only member of Huoxi Civilization, were stunned for a moment.

My star, Ross 128... is going to explode?

But this isn't surprising news.

The existence of Star Eater Cloyat has shaken the basic structure of this star.

As we all know, the burning method of red dwarf stars is different from that of ordinary yellow main-sequence stars. The material and energy generated by nuclear fusion in its core will circulate and move between the "core" and "star surface" and be heated repeatedly.

Coupled with its small mass and weak nuclear reaction, this type of star has an extremely long lifespan, which can easily reach hundreds of billions or even trillions of years. It is one of the most stable star types.

This is also the reason why the Star Eater chose the red dwarf as its lair.

However, the existence of the Starry Sky Dome replaced part of the self-stabilizing ability of the star and became the second core of the star.

This greatly accelerated its nuclear fusion phenomenon, and over thousands of years, Croat's unrestrained sucking and devouring of stellar energy made the already increasingly fragile red dwarf star doomed.

And when the Starry Sky Dome shattered and the moon's debris was scattered, and Su Zhou fought with the Star Eater, the aftermath caused by the two, although insignificant for a star, still caused cyclical shocks that had long been circulating inside the star. further accelerating its self-destruction.

At this point, from Su Zhou's perspective, the star in front of him has basically entered its final stage - it is about to accelerate its combustion, volatilize its mass into interstellar matter, and then turn into a brown dwarf.

Because the mass is too low, a supernova explosion will not occur during this process, which is probably a blessing among misfortunes.

Although it is said that if Su Zhou does not come, Huoxixing will also be burned to ashes in the stellar explosion caused by the Planet Eater, but in the final analysis, the end of Ross 128's life does have something to do with him.

[...How can I blame you for this kind of thing? 】

After digesting the news, the stunned Xiang De couldn't help but smile bitterly. He sighed, and then calmed down: [Originally, the best ending we guessed was that the eight wandering arks could be activated normally, carrying nearly 10 million yuan with them. The Huoxi people left the Jedi and found a planet that rekindled fire on the other side of the distant star sea... To put it bluntly, it was nothing more than gambling. 】

[But now, what we have lost is the hometown and the star that we have long given up in our hearts, but what we have gained is the survival of 6.5 billion Huoxi people - a real gain. 】

[I can only thank you, Marshal, for helping us get out of the predicament we couldn't get out of and saving everyone. 】

On the battleship, even though Su Zhou didn't see it, the Huo Xi leader with Qinglong bloodline bowed deeply in the direction of Su Zhou.

Indeed, Mars was destroyed—and was about to be burned to death in Ross 128's self-destruction.

But as the hometown of the Huoxi people, the star that was approaching dusk in the past... will be forever engraved in the memory of the Huoxi people, and even in their DNA!

At the same time, Su Zhou sensed that there was an extremely pure and pure force of will, crossing time and space, heading towards him.

He couldn't help but smile.

Of course he knew that when all Huo Xi people wake up, the gratitude and admiration of 6.5 billion people will be reflected, which will become another huge source of merit and will for him.

Naturally, there will be some abnormal guys among them who will blame his existence for causing the Huoxi people to lose their hometown. There will not be a small number of such people. After all, there are not a few idiots among the 6.5 billion people. I am afraid that Huoxi people will lose their hometown. Civilization has long since become the overlord of the galaxy.

But the young man no longer cares about these.

How can the merits and aspirations of billions of people compare to the firm will of an immortal?

But... there is no need to think too much about medals.

Su Zhou is smiling now, just because he has helped many people despite the uneven road, and he has successfully crushed the monster Star Eater, who sleeps in the place where civilization sits on the earth, to ashes.

"Now that the matter is over...it's time to see what these Dusk Familia are planning."

Temporarily removing his mind from the channel of the Earth Fleet, Su Zhou turned his head, looked in front of him, and then stretched out his hand to pull the overly large evil soul of the Star Eater into his hand.

The evil soul of Star Eater Cloyat is the largest evil soul Su Zhou has ever obtained so far.

This thing has a diameter of 2,400 meters. Although it is not worth mentioning compared to the original dome with a diameter of 20,000 kilometers and the Star Eater multi-headed ether dragon form with a total length of more than 100,000 meters, it is compared to most of the original ones. For a ghast that is only the size of a fist, it can be said to be incredibly large.

This is not a soul ball, but a soul mountain.

Even a giant dragon in cosmic battle form with a height of more than six thousand meters couldn't help but feel distressed when seeing this evil spirit.

"How on earth should I eat this thing..."

Although he said so, Su Zhou's last choice was to create a large straw - a long, hollow sacred wood tube four hundred meters long - and then insert it into the evil spirit.

If you can’t eat it, drink it!

The first taste in the mouth is unusually bland, like boiling water mixed with lime, with a dry taste.

But soon, this dryness turned into heat, as hot as a star.

This burning heat goes straight down the throat into the abdomen, and the negative entropic taste is a bit sweet, with a light aroma, making the Star Eater's ghast taste a bit close to high-concentration inferior liquor, but more hot and pure, but still full of flavor. It has an irrepressible astringency.

[The evil spirit of Star Eater Croat]

[It is different from the same kind, different from all living beings, a purely alien evil spirit. 】

[Gaining wisdom but unable to communicate, full of body but empty of spirit, looking for the ultimate soul of nothingness]

[After use, the aura affinity and spiritual power limit will be increased to an incredible extent]

[Spiritual calcining can be turned into the spirit of ‘Swallowing the World’, which can be attached to all equipment and props]

[Forged using special techniques, it can be cast into the soul cannon of the ‘Star-Eating Sky-piercing Cannon’]

[Swallow, devour, devour, devour, devour, endless devour... If this is meaning, what’s the difference between it and having no meaning? 】

[What is the difference between life and the universe itself? Celestial bodies also eat, and they also have anger, sadness, love, and birth, old age, sickness, and death. 】

[Thinking is meaningless, wisdom is the source of troubles... Therefore, rather than choosing to wait in vain, believers in nothingness will choose to take action. 】

[And this is the biggest difference between nothingness and nothingness believers. 】

Although the evil soul of the Star Eater was very large, and it was the first time, Su Zhou saw the affix "incredible magnitude".

However, he failed to condense the inheritance - this proved that even though Cloyat gained wisdom, this abnormal Star Eater still failed to figure out his own path.

This made Su Zhou a little disappointed. Looking at the body of the eight-headed ether dragon condensed by the other party, he thought that the Star Eater had unexpectedly embarked on a path similar to his Zhu Zhou, and could freely cut the flesh of cosmic behemoths. The body is used as a module for one's own use, and it can be regarded as one's own 'comrades'.

But now it seems that it may have just been Cloyat who ate a lot of ether dragons and simply copied the body structure of those ether dragons.

"But the most important thing is not that."

With the soul power belonging to the Star Eater burning in his belly, Su Zhou closed his eyes.

While heading towards the increasingly turbulent stellar turbulence, he began to meditate and analyze the endless memories belonging to Croat in his body.

"As the Annihilator of the Order of Nothingness, there must be important relevant information in the soul of this Star Eater!"

The surging soul power is surging, and millions of years of memories are burning, and in the intertwining light and shadow created by the Star Eater's extremely long memory.

Su Zhou used his own will to forcibly eliminate a large number of meaningless memory contents and began to refine Croat's life.

——Star Eater spends most of his life eating.

The very existence of this cosmic beast is equivalent to a small star, and it is a star that burns very violently.

Without eating, young Star Eaters will burn themselves out - in fact, many Star Eater cubs fail to grow up healthily and eventually become deformed because they do not start eating immediately after birth. Became a dust cloud among the stars.

In the beginning, Croat was a healthy Star Eater, no different from his other compatriots.

Therefore, when He was conceived by the mother's body and thrown into a brown dwarf, He began to eat, devour, bite, and suck non-stop...until he became powerful, became a behemoth, and turned into a real Small stars can survive for a long time.

But by then, the Star Eaters' instincts have been fully aroused. Even if they are not needed, they will continue to devour stars, strengthen themselves, and turn themselves into wandering stars in the universe.

All changes occurred in a 'short' eating process.

Croat, who had just arrived at the 'perfect body', chose a yellow main sequence star as his food.

It just so happens that this second planet from the main sequence star gave birth to many primitive life forms.

The Star Eater, who has just advanced to a complete body and can seriously devour the energy of stars, does not seem to be slow in his eating speed, but for short-lived species, it is not a matter of speed.

——Cloat, in the process of eating, watched the birth and rise and fall of a civilization.

It was a name that had long been forgotten, only that the members were winged beings with wings that could fly.

This race is naturally fond of flying and exploring, and its desire for the starry sky was revealed in the ancient barbaric era.

The sun is their guide, a beacon that guides exploration, and a watchful god that announces the direction of the 'future': this civilization firmly believes that it is the son of the sun, and the reason why their wings exist is to one day be able to break away from the shackles of the earth. Go to that dazzling light source.

There is no doubt that such a belief can save a civilization from many detours and allow them to move smoothly towards the interstellar age.

However, just when they were able to explore aliens, this race was shocked to find that above their 'gods' and 'guides', there was an extremely ferocious, abominable, but equally huge beast... Eat the flesh and blood of stars.

Needless to say, how to eliminate this giant beast has become the ‘meaning’ of this civilization’s continued advancement.

Not just for myths, beliefs, beliefs.

Just to ensure the stability of their home star field, and for the future of civilization, they must also fight against the Star Eaters and drive them away!

To this end, this civilization works together to study technology and learn psychic abilities - because you can see the existence of Star Eater as soon as you look up, there is no forgetting or slacking off. Every member of this civilization works conscientiously for He devoted all his efforts to expel the Star Eater, just to be able to drive out this great enemy of the Star Eater one day in the future.

They have developed one generation after another of brand-new spaceships, and one type after another of powerful weapons. They have spent a long time building a huge fleet, and they have practiced more and more radical, but also more and more powerful psychic practices.

Their progress far exceeds that of any civilization, and can even be said to be among the best in the universe.

But the star is still fading.

Whether it's a huge scavenger cannon that can burn the planet into glass, or an antimatter bomb; whether it's a psyker that can tear apart a continent and destroy the ecology, or a nanomachine that can erode at the mesoscopic level arms……

All of them are ineffective against Star Eater.

One offensive method after another was invented and then proved useless, one idea after another was proposed and then thrown into the trash can.

During this process, many heroes who could change the world naturally emerged. They led this civilization to continuously advance, explore and progress, and even sacrificed themselves to fight against the monsters of the sun umbrella.

However, all efforts, all struggles, all blood, hopes and even sacrifices are meaningless.

While those tiny people were struggling, Star Eater finished eating.

The star begins to expand—red giantization is about to begin.

Despair enveloped this nameless civilization, so much so that they chose madness, or in other words, chose the most decisive method.

They built an unprecedented huge battleship, and based on the spiritual fluctuations of the Star Eater and the frequency of their sun... created a stellar bomb.

When Croat temporarily felt full and broke away from the expanding star, he could only notice with confusion that there was a group of tiny things that were not even ants, creating a small creature on the edge of the gap in his carapace. A small, meaningless spark.

It seemed like an artillery attack to attract the attention of the giant beast.

But obviously, this move was meaningless, because the Star Eater didn't understand what these little ants wanted to do at all. He just opened his eyes wide and watched as the battleship loaded with stellar bombs sank into the interior of the star that was about to become red and giant.

Then... there was a dazzling supernova explosion.

There was also a cosmic beast that was seriously injured by the explosion for no apparent reason.

【Why? 】

[Are you trying to grab food? 】

At that time, His simple thinking could not understand this phenomenon at all: [I haven’t eaten all the stars. They are so small, they should be able to eat some, and they can even eat them for a long, long time. 】

【Isn’t it too strange? 】

Questions arise out of confusion.

Because I have questions, I seek answers.

Because the answer requires wisdom.

For the first time, the giant beast that can traverse the starry sky and devour stars without wisdom begins to crave 'meaningless things' that are not needed for its own life.

But a long time passed, when the ignorant Star Eater in the past could understand why that small race regarded itself as an enemy and would rather choose to explode the star than escape.

This giant beast fell into a great confusion.

[However, with their technology, they can obviously build an ark and leave that galaxy, right? 】

[If the meaning of life is to exist, they should have escaped long ago - in thousands of years, their technological level has been higher than many interstellar civilizations I have seen! 】

[But they still chose to die with the stars without hesitation... Could it be said that there is any higher meaning that is above 'existence'? ! 】

【But all this is meaningless! 】

There is something closer to the truth than 'existence'.

Is there anything that can make a life that clearly puts 'survival' as its first priority willing to sacrifice its own life?

Is there something that Star Eater cannot understand that led to the birth of everything, including the universe, including the stars, including all life - all of this, everything in the current universe and the multiverse, makes all things come into being and exist!

What exactly is that? Even if you ask similar people, you won't get an answer.

Where can I find this answer? No civilization in the universe is willing to discuss philosophical issues with a Star Eater.

What is the end of all this? Why is it that all things survive with great difficulty, but there are lives that are willing to sacrifice their existence for illusory things?

Unable to find an answer, the wandering beast wanders in the dark universe.

【Why should I live? 】

Star Eater, who was struggling with this problem, even thought about committing suicide for a time... No, it was not thought, he actually committed suicide several times, just because he was too strong and couldn't die.

Until a gentle twilight light came on, awakening Cloyat's consciousness.

[Confused Star Eater, why are you stopping here? 】

At this moment, Cloyat realized that he was at the edge of the Milky Way.

A remote, but fully armed star system completely surrounded by various psychic matrices and steel fortresses.

At this moment, He was at the edge of the Dusk Familia's headquarters.

However, the Order of Nothingness, which was rumored to destroy everything and send everything into nothingness, did not take action against the Star Eater who even knew why he was alive.

A gentle, respectable voice, after patiently listening to the Star Eater's confusing verbal explanation, nodded clearly: "That's it, you are craving for meaning." 】

[But poor little Croat, I want to tell you the truth of the multiverse: the birth of all things is just a coincidence, and the existence of all living beings is just an accident. 】

[You and me, life, all existence, and even the various miracles in the universe, those shining souls and glory, the shining will and faith, are all things that were accidentally born because the multiverse is too huge. 】

[In other words, all this is meaningless. 】

【wrong! 】

Upon hearing this answer, the Star Eater at that time retorted fiercely: [Absolutely! 】

[Otherwise, why is there life that is not afraid of death, and why is there civilization that is not afraid of sacrifice and destruction? 】

[There must be a supreme meaning guiding them, and they have ignored the 'truth of existence', so they can be so unhesitating! 】

【right. 】

Cloyat thought he would get a rebuttal.

But what he got was a crisp and clear agreement: "That's right - that's exactly it!" 】

He heard that gentle voice and said with a faint smile: "So, we must bring sacrifice and destruction, death and the end, to those beings who think they are 'meaningful'." 】

[Only in this way can they understand their true meaning and show us the truth that is higher than ‘existence’, that supreme thing! 】

At this point, that gentle voice even became a little fanatical:

[If we succeed, it will prove that the multiverse is all meaningless, and it is the true meaning of nothingness - but if we fail, it will prove that we are the prelude to the achievement of the 'ultimate meaning', and we are the bones at its feet. , the path trodden! 】

[What a futility, yet what a meaningful action! The Order of Nothingness was born to achieve all of this! 】

【……】

Perhaps it was because no one had ever wanted to talk to Cloyat before.

Or maybe it’s because what the other person said does make sense and is very logical.

There are a lot of maybes and maybes.

But, all in all.

Star Eater, was convinced.

Cloyat has now chosen to join the Order of Nothingness, becoming the first starry sky beast to join the Order of Nothingness in this universe.

Under Su Zhou's frowning gaze, he saw that this Star Eater, who was most likely to be crippled by being deceived, launched a random annihilation of civilizations throughout the galaxy.

He flew across the starry sky and jumped in the sea of ​​stars. The giant beast destroyed one civilization after another and attacked one planet after another, intending to recreate the resistance of that civilization that he had seen before but had forgotten its name.

Death, destruction, and non-existence are ‘nothingness’.

However, precisely because of these existences, "meaningless life" will burst out with sparks that transcend "existence"!

For all living creatures, absolute destruction is used as oppression, allowing them to burn life and burst out a 'sacrifice' that transcends life. On the contrary, one can see that these souls are the most dense, even transcending the existence of life and death, and even ' Nothingness' meaning!

The Cult of Nothingness, which insisted on such actions, finally discovered its own limit.

In the final analysis, they are aliens among aliens. Even if they accidentally obtained the fragments of the power of the great existence outside the void and devoted all their strength, the Void Order could only tie with several galactic countries, and it could even be called a tie. is the result of failure.

Those galactic countries did not even spend all their strength against them, and spent most of their time on guard against each other.

[We need stronger power. 】

This is a common thought within the entire sect.

But where is the stronger power?

The Order of Nothingness, which has many Omega psykers, has reached the extreme in terms of psionic power. The path to a further step is not unimaginable, but it will be at least hundreds of thousands of years, a long, long time later, and Mainly a matter of luck.

In terms of technology, the Order of the Void has also reached the extreme. After all, extraordinary powers reach the same goal by different routes. In addition, the Order of the Void itself is also a team with strong cohesion. They never scheming or suppressing each other. Harmony in the multiverse can be regarded as the best. Excellent organization, so the results of their scientific research team are also extremely impressive.

Only the Star of the Galaxy, which created the Cernostians and has a sacred object that transcends most things in this universe, can inspire the Order of Nothingness!

But the Order of Nothingness originally needed power because it was unable to defeat the Galactic Kingdom - but if they wanted to obtain power, they had to defeat a Galactic Kingdom first?

This set of dolls was a little too classic, so the leaders of the Void Order simply gave up this option.

They chose to look for similar things throughout the universe.

So, the Order of Nothingness discovered it.

That is an ancient ruin located outside the Milky Way, in the subspace star field.

The remains of the Pioneer Fortress that sealed the 'Fragment of the Seal'.

Traces of the fragment named ‘Zhong Huan Zhen Seal’.

There will be another update later
