Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

As long as the strategic goal is not truly achieved, all victories are nothing but short-lived illusions.

Primitive civilization reserve, Yukiel galaxy.

At this moment, Tain Prophet was like a leaf swaying in the wind and rain, swaying on the battlefield among the stars. But in the end, he was hit by an annihilation ray and could only helplessly turn into a meteor, falling together with his heavily damaged battleship. Enter the planet that He originally protected.

[Damn it, how many enemies are there? ! 】

Speaking of the last bit of spiritual power to protect himself from being thrown to death, Tayin couldn't help roaring: [Didn't you say that the Void Religion is already a candle in the wind? Why are their attacks still so fierce? ! 】

What can make an overlord-level Cernestian feel so embarrassed is naturally not the ordinary wind and rain, but the annihilation light and dissociation field of the void monster.

The Yukiel star field has been flooded with billions of rays and flying objects of all kinds. The fireworks in the sky are so bright that most computers will self-destruct due to information overload in the moment of analysis.

Three months have passed since the Void Order raided the Twilight Star Territory and attracted an incredible number of void monsters to attack the defense line.

In these three months, no matter whether it is the Cernostians, the Void Order, or the Void Monsters and the Entropic Shadow Clan, they have not had a moment to rest, and have been engaged in fierce battles around the Twilight Fortress and the Cosmic Rift. Attack and defense.

This is the largest battle after the Silent Age. Although the origin is just an action of the Order of Nothingness, any action by these madmen who aim to destroy the universe requires people to be on alert, and Thanos The Thians once again became the race on the front line, and the entire civilization devoted all their efforts to this end.

The group of elders, who have always cared for their compatriots, are sending all their forces to the front line without mercy. The Yukiel Star Territory is an important node around the Twilight Star Territory. It was originally a primitive civilization reserve, but now, those The simple stars are already covered with various permanent fortresses, and a huge fleet is stationed here, vowing to fight the enemy to the last man.

This is true even for new overlords like Tain Prophet, who should theoretically focus on cultivating elite descendants. He became one of the war commanders of the Yukiel system, and the battlefields around these rifts are indeed like a bottomless pit. , involving most of the main forces of Cernostia civilization.

Yes, indeed, there is such good news - Lord Su Zhou from Earth found the hiding place of the Void Cult Leader in the subspace between the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Milky Way during the raid two months ago, and It hindered the other party's conspiracy to open a secret space-time rift.

The Galaxy Network AI monitored the entire process. He saw the two Lords fighting fiercely all the way to the edge of the galaxy. The intensity was no less intense than any war between Lords in the past.

Regardless of victory or defeat, at least the most terrifying force of the Void Order has indeed been unable to take action, and the real main force of the Void Monsters has not been able to open a second front because the rift has not yet been opened. Now they can only fight in the Dusk Star Territory. Go up to the iron wall.

They were supposed to be at the end of a powerful battle, and were completely annihilated when they were surrounded and suppressed by the coalition forces of major civilizations.

But in reality, it's quite different.

Facing the coalition forces of various civilizations, the fleet of the Nihility Religion suddenly launched a direct counterattack, and when they made a desperate move, everyone discovered that these madmen who risked their lives actually brought their lair with them - in Amidst the huge gravitational waves that shook the galaxy, the headquarters of the Order of Nothingness, the Trade Star, which was originally located in the home system of the Trade Federation, reappeared in the world in a violent subspace explosion.

Not only did they distort the gravitational waves within thousands of light-years in diameter and temporarily block the hyperspace channel, they also immediately eliminated several surrounding coalition fleets and established the most solid base at the rear of the galaxy.

The core engines were ignited, and the eight true planet-level war Death Stars in the entire galaxy have now become the trump card of the Void Order, allowing them to break through the direction of the coalition again and again, leading the group of void monsters to cause wanton destruction.

Just like the duelists, they are at their most dangerous when the candle is blown by the wind.

But all this has nothing to do with Tain Prophet who has been shot down - although he had killed five overlords of the Void Order and Void Monsters before he was shot down, the number of enemies is endless, and our own reinforcements seem to be After a delay, the situation on the front became extremely dangerous.

In the roaring sound, like a meteorite, no matter how hard he slowed down the impact of his landing, he still fell to the ground like a hill. After hitting a hill, it caused an earthquake.

[Damn it, these void monsters are too strong! and】

This tungsten steel giant really looked fragile and helpless at this moment. He was missing his legs and was severely injured. He was even suppressed by the wreckage of his own battleship and the surrounding area. The overlord actually didn't have the strength to push him away. Can barely maintain a gentle psychic cycle and accumulate strength.

With good luck, he will be almost recovered within a few days and can continue fighting. If he is not lucky, the strong men of the Void Religion will be more cautious and will come over immediately to touch up the damage, then he may really die.

However, there is no use thinking about this. Tain Prophet can only close his eyes, patiently adjust himself, and seize every second to recover himself.

However, some time passed and Tain Prophet heard the sound of digging.

Accompanied by the sound of digging earth and rocks, the tungsten steel giant, who was pressed by the mountain and the wreckage of the battleship, saw two natives of Yukiel Planet, one large and one small, digging out the earth and rocks above so that he could re-open the earth and rocks. See the light of the sun.

"God, don't worry, we will dig you up right away!"

The Ukiel aliens look hairy and look like some kind of wild beasts, but in fact, they are a kind of multi-bearded plant life that usually relies on the developed root systems all over their bodies to absorb moisture and spiritual energy from the air. To live, sleeping every day is to bury yourself in the earth and absorb energy and nutrients.

This big and small Yukiel can be regarded as father and son, or mother and daughter. They are holding shovels at the moment to dig out the earth and rocks around Tain Prophet - compared with the tungsten steel giant who is more than thirty meters tall. Standing up, the Ukiel, which was only three or four meters tall, looked like a toy, but even so, it took most of the day for these strange tree men to move the mud and battleship wreckage around Tain cleanly.

[Danger... Hide quickly! 】

In the process, Tain Prophet more than once advised these two local natives, who didn't know whether they were brave or reckless, to leave him: [The enemies haven't gone far yet, I am their target, and this place may be attacked at any time! 】

"This is the truth." The eldest father said: "If I don't help you, what else can we do? The evil spirits in the sky are invading, and we must do something."

The Cernostians always like to give the ecological planets they create to other races and civilizations to live in, so they are called gods by many indigenous life forms, and the Ukiel people are naturally one of them. In this regard, the Cernostians The demi-humans have always ignored it. As long as these natives are willing to believe in the Galaxy Star and the way of guardianship, then they can acquiesce in the other party becoming their protectorate.

In this case, protecting them from the invasion of the Void Cult is a matter of course.

However, no Cernostian ever thought that he would receive help from these protected people in times of crisis.

The tungsten steel giant that was excavated had no legs, and half of its body was pressed by the battleship. This was not a big deal. As long as the injury was healed, Natain could move the seemingly heavy battleship away at any time.

However, the damage caused by the void monster is very serious. It is a condensed annihilation field that can even swallow the world. If hit by such an attack, both the body and the soul will be as if they 'never existed', and regeneration will be difficult to take effect. It can only be rebuilt bit by bit.

Taine Prophet originally wanted to devour the alloys in his battleship armor to reshape his battle body, but this still lacked energy, because the continuous battles overstretched his body. Now, no matter how much he absorbs the free spiritual energy in the air, he cannot It cannot be stored in the body. Only by spending time repairing the heart of the furnace bit by bit can the base point be rebuilt.

"Master God, there are tributes dedicated to you in the city below the mountain. Although the city has been bombed, the tributes should still be in the basement of the city hall. They should be helpful to you."

It could be seen that the god was extremely seriously injured at this moment, so the eldest Ukiel man took his children and left together. The city they were talking about should be the ruins with thick smoke at the foot of the mountain. Tain Prophet raised his head and looked towards Looking over there, I realized that the city was probably hit by a stray bullet from the space battle. So far, there is still an eternal spiritual fire burning in it.

[Don’t go, it’s very dangerous! 】

He repeated it again and solemnly declared: [The fire in that city will completely kill you. You Yukiel people are most afraid of that kind of spiritual flame! 】

"...You are right."

Hearing these words, the father stopped, let go of his hand, let the child stay where he was, and then continued walking down the mountain: "But you have to go, sir, you lose. , more people will die, and I will die too. In this case, I will die whether I go or not, so I might as well work hard."

Prophet Tayin originally thought that his career as an ambassador on Earth would make him a lot more eloquent, but now he realized that there are some things that no matter how good his eloquence is, it is useless.

A few hours later, his father, who had lost one hand and half of his body, came to Tayin with several extremely pure source spirit stones. He probably had his hand set on fire, so he cut it off himself. The arms and surrounding fibrous roots were lost, and the remaining fibrous roots were also curled up, and the body was shriveled and cracked.

As soon as these tributes were delivered, he passed out and his breath was weak, and the younger child stepped forward, without crying or crying, but quietly taking care of his relatives.

Ukiel people are rarely sad or angry. Most of their emotions are as calm as plants. They do what they think and are not impulsive.

Source Spirit Stone, a high-purity spirit stone ore, is one of the fuels for the heart of the psychic furnace. It is considered a very inferior energy source in the cosmic civilization. It needs to be refined and processed into Source Energy before it can be widely used. But now, for heavy damage, For the Cernostians, these spiritual stones can help Tain quickly recover from his fundamental injuries.

Stretching out his hand and absorbing these source spirit stones, Tain Prophet regained some strength. He roared angrily, then moved away the wreckage of the battleship that was pressing on him, then tore off a piece of alloy and shaped it into the shape of legs for himself. Replacing it will restore a certain amount of mobility.

【...You guys really did me a big favor】

Raising his head, Prophet Tain looked at the starry sky above his head. The war was still going on. Without his overlord-level commander, the Cernostians' defense line was indeed shrinking, but it had not yet collapsed.

The help of these two Yukil men indeed allowed him to regain his mobility four or five days ahead of schedule, which may be the key point in turning the tide of the war.

Stretching out his hand, the tungsten steel giant gently lifted the seriously injured father and child, then placed them on his shoulders, protecting them with his spiritual power.

"Master God, there are still tributes in the city, but my father can't move so much."

The child seemed to be repeating what his father taught him. He stuttered a bit, but it was indeed very important. Tayin nodded: [Important information, I can recover faster - don't worry, your father acted bravely and noblely. He will not die, and we Cenostians will provide the most precious reward for a pious and brave life]

"Father is not looking for repayment."

The child just shook his head: "The other family members are dead. My father is not noble. He just wants you, Lord God, to come back to life and help us take revenge."

Tayin was silent for a while, but his footsteps did not stop and he still walked towards the smoke-filled city of Yukiel at the foot of the mountain.

The city is full of fire. This flame incorporates special spiritual power and is so intense that even the alloy of a space battleship can burn most of it. It is a dimensionality-reducing blow to the indigenous civilization, and metals and rocks are destroyed by this spiritual fire. The thick smoke formed after being ignited turned into a huge smoke column that went straight into the sky, soaking the surrounding world in darkness.

The child was afraid of the flames, but Tain's spiritual power protected him, keeping the heat and tongues of fire at bay.

The tungsten steel giant stepped into the fireworks. He could see that the entire city was in ruins. Most of it had turned into a white ground and was charred. There were mutilated corpses of Ukiel people everywhere.

They were probably resting and eating before, or working and living at home, but a fire falling from the sky shattered all this peaceful life, making the entire planet restless.

Tayin Prophet discovered the half-collapsed city hall early in the morning, but unexpectedly it was not completely ignited. It seems that the great Yukiel man moved the spiritual stone from here.

He was naturally aware of the rich inventory of source spirit stones in the ground. If he absorbed them all, Tayin could almost repair the furnace core in his body on the spot. From then on, he would not need external materials, he would do it himself. It can restore most of its strength within a few hours by devouring its own battleship equipment.

But halfway through, he stopped. The Cenostian stared blankly at the corner of the city, where the flames were the brightest.

It was a wreckage of a battleship.

Also the remains of a Cernestian corpse.

It was this corpse that fell from the starry sky and destroyed this Yukiel city. And this spiritual fire was also the natal fire of the Cernostians, representing his son of the planet form. Some kind of natural fire phenomenon.

"what is that?"

The child also noticed Tayin's gaze. He looked in the direction of the wreckage, and naturally noticed the wreckage with the brightest fire. Tayin Prophet just sighed: [That is the battleship colonial equipment, we Xeno The strongest weapon of the Stians...but it was destroyed by the enemy, including the controller and the battleship. The wreckage fell down and destroyed your city]

[Hainatel, I didn’t expect you to die...you are younger than me]

Starting up again, Tayin went to the city hall, but still shook his head softly: [He has just reached the rank of commander, which means he is just an adult among us Cenostians. He took the initiative to join the army to protect the Holy Land, and was eventually sent to the front line... the sea Natair fights very bravely and always charges at the front line. He took the lead in repelling several attacks by the Void Order. He is a very talented boy and will definitely become an elder in the future.]

The tungsten steel giant clenched his fists. Although his tone was calm, he could clearly sense the turbulent emotions.

[I originally wanted to protect them, so I kept fighting. However, even though I was shot down, I couldn't protect them either.]

There was another huge explosion in the sky, and the gray-white light explosion formed a huge spherical nebula at the top of the Yukiel Star, and spread in all directions of the star field. It was a Overlord-level void monster that was killed. The resulting explosion——At the same time, many fireballs erupted one after another, and debris flew. They were the Cernostia fleet that was taken away by this void monster.

[These guys from the Void Cult, as well as the Void Monsters, are not afraid of death. They are obviously at a loss, but they seem to have made a profit]

After spitting, Tayin stretched out his hand to cover the child and father on his shoulders. The spiritual radiation contained in this light explosion was harmful to most lives. Maintaining this posture, he came to the city hall, and then Stretching out his free left hand, he pushed aside the crumbling charcoal building and dug up the underground inventory of spiritual stones.

"Why do they want to invade us?"

While Tayin was absorbing the spiritual stone, the Ukiel child was talking to himself. He looked around at the corpses on the ruins of the street and stroked his father's body that had begun to dry and was only relying on Tayin's spiritual power to maintain life.

This child is not old enough to understand farewell and sadness, so he just wonders: "They are so strong and powerful, they should always have something to eat and always live a good life. They are just like gods."

"Why do they do this?"

[Life should not only exist for survival. Although the purpose of the Void Cult is crazy, they...]

Tayin instinctively answered like this, but he fell silent after the words were spoken, because the answer was too confusing - the purpose of those madmen was to pursue the ultimate answer to life, and they did not hesitate to do anything to seek existence. meaning.

But look at this battlefield, look at the ruins of this city filled with Yukiel corpses. These indigenous people, who may have difficulty eating, are still in the primitive civilization era. They have only formed a country a few years ago.

In this era, most people's lives are very hard, but they are full of hope. The entire civilization is prosperous and the future is promising.

But now, many Yukiel people have been involved in the war of interstellar civilizations and died under the crazy thoughts of a group of madmen.

【Why? 】

The Cernostian was confused from the bottom of his heart: [Leave aside the meaning of life...what is the meaning of extraordinary power? 】

[Just to dominate, just to exploit, just to hurt other people? Extraordinary power... Our power is so powerful that we should not use it for such frivolous things! 】

[Why do those lunatics from the Void Cult pursue what meaning? Obviously we are not all alive, don’t we all exist? Isn't it vain and stupid to insist on seeking meaning for things that exist and are reasonable? 】

Although he said this, Tayin also understood very well that the Void Cult did not know the value of life.

On the contrary, the Order of Nothingness is probably one of the cosmic forces that takes life most seriously.

——Life is the cornerstone of meaning.

However, taking it seriously does not mean protecting it. Precisely because life is so important, the Cult of Nothingness wants to destroy the most supreme meaning in the universe in order to seek the true truth.

Therefore, they value their own lives and are unwilling to die before achieving their goals. When needed, they will sacrifice everything they have to burn without hesitation.

In fact, after Tain Prophet became the overlord, he obtained some speculations about the Order of Nothingness from the memories of his ancestors.

——The Order of Nothingness, the reason why they destroy everything so aggressively, and even burn down the indigenous planets that have not reached the starry sky, is precisely because they believe that the root of all life itself is a This is a mistake. All births of life are ultimately doomed to nothingness and pain.

In this case, it is better to let them destroy it - if it succeeds, then recreate it after the destruction, create a correct universe, and correct the original sin when the universe was born.

If it fails...

That has nothing to do with them. Regardless of whether they are correct or not, the winner is more correct than them.

This is all speculation.

However, Tain Prophet, who had initially cured his injury, had no time to think anymore.

The tungsten steel giant opened his eyes. He separated a trace of his own essential spiritual power and gave it to the death-inducing Yukiel man, making the almost dry tree man's body glow with a metallic luster - and then, he Put down the two Yukils, one big and one small, and then raised their heads amidst the children's exclamations and looked at the battlefield in the sky.

The fighting has been going on for several months.

They are fighting, and Su Zhou Tianzun in the distance is also fighting. Their battle has even gone beyond the scope of the Milky Way into the depths of subspace, and may even have reached the other side of the Large Magellanic Galaxy. The entangled transition trajectories of both parties It even affected more than a dozen nests of the mayfly insect clan.

In the end, the traces of the battle between Su Zhou and the Void Cult completely disappeared, as if they were beyond this universe—even the Webway AI could not find and track them.

[The Yukil people helped me - just as I protected them before]

He whispered to himself, and the giant clenched his fists, accumulating strength, waiting for the opportunity to return to the sky to fight again: [Su Zhou... you have helped the entire galaxy, and even life in the entire universe]

[But now, who can help you? 】

at the same time.

"Reporting to the headquarters of the New World Exploration Department, I discovered an abnormal space-time rift deep in the space-time realm code-named Red Lotus Hell. According to speculation, behind the rift, it is likely to be related to the place where the 'Celestial Scale' first fell. "

"Yes, I know it is dangerous, but there is a need to explore. The God Scale held by Su Zhou is not in a fully activated form, just like the Milky Way Star requires the full strength of several Cernostia Omega-level Lords. Barely urging one or two, when the God Scale was at its peak, it could easily create thousands of time and space rifts all around the earth, but now it can only take a few people to travel through time and space... This obviously made some mistakes, and to explore the place where it originally fell, It can fill in the gaps in the model, help Su Zhou better grasp the scale of the gods, and even help him understand the great seal in the future."

"Well, I know it's dangerous. But the most dangerous one has never been me, but Su Zhou, right? He's fighting an unprecedented powerhouse now... If you can help him, then why not?"

At this moment, the Red Lotus Hell Rift Valley is at its deepest point.

Shao Qiming controlled the 'Huiming' power armor, attached it with the power of his own sacred tree, and controlled the armor to climb around the crack. An extremely long space-time crack that seemed to span countless worlds was waiting quietly.

The rift in time and space releases incredible spiritual pressure, consuming people's will, and the young man has been exploring the Red Lotus Hell for a long time, and now most of the supplies have been used up. If it weren't for the durability of the sacred trees that are beyond common sense, ordinary extraordinary people would have already been because of it. He was exhausted and passed out, let alone resisting the pressure.

It has to be said that Shao Qiming is very excited now. Although what the report says is very likely and conjectural, based on the reaction of the God's scale breath in the jade box, he can be 100% sure that behind the rift in time and space is the 'original realm' '.

It can even be seen that in the jade box, the silver aura is shining, and the light is overflowing from the fragile parts of the box, just like a star is shining - the aura of the God Scale is absorbing the energy around the rift in time and space to supplement it. Self, constantly strengthen yourself!

However, precisely because of such results, he remained calm.

Don't be excited, now is the most critical moment.

Shao Qiming knew very well the importance of the God's Scale to Su Zhou and even to the universe... It was the beginning of all opportunities and the core component of the great seal.

Being able to strengthen it will not only make Su Zhou's power further, but also restore a little of the power of the great seal, curbing the intensifying restlessness of his followers as many great beings revive.

The Zhengguo side, and even the entire earth civilization, are advising Shao Qiming to wait and be careful - but how is this possible? Su Zhou was fighting at the moment and was in danger. If he didn't take action or help, how could he be worthy of Su Zhou's trust in giving him the God's scale breath?

He understands very well why the earth's civilization seems to be doing nothing now, because the fleet of the earth's civilization has set off with the Cernostians' fleet, and is now working with the Tallinn people to resist a war death star coming from the trade star field. , the entire earth's high-end military forces have already gone in that direction, and many strong men have even brought along imperial soldiers to protect their homes.

Today's earth does not have much strength to explore the major time and space realms. Only the people from the New World Exploration Department who specialize in this, and Shao Qiming, have been trying to find it.

At this moment, Shao Qiming planned to rest for a while, use the remaining supplies to replenish his perfect state, and then activate the breath of the God Scale to travel through the rift in time and space and enter the other side to find out.

But just before Shao Qiming took action.

Suddenly, Shao Qiming sensed many huge power fluctuations, which suddenly rose from the distant space-time gate of Red Lotus Hell, and then flew towards his direction!

"That, that is?!"

Shao Qiming immediately opened his eyes because those auras were too powerful and too familiar.

That is the aura of the ‘artifact’ used by many earth countries to suppress civilization!

Red Sky Sword, Sun Shooting Bow, Mountain Whip, Mission Tower, Fire Sword Formation, Eternal Spear...

The auras of the artifacts are either virtual or real. Some are just marks that travel through time and space, and can only burst out with full power for a short time. But some are even entities, and they are the magic weapons to suppress civilization on the earth!

But now, these divine weapons and imperial weapons have risen from every corner of the world, descending on Shao Qiming's head and surrounding him.

【If you are sure】

Young people can hear voices that are either tired or determined: [If you are really sure, you can help Su Zhou after going to the rift in time and space]

[Then go and take the whole earth’s civilization with you]

[Then, tell him that he is never alone]
