Charlier united with the First Agricultural Trade World, and the World Tree that wrapped the continent under its roots shook its branches and leaves, causing the fishman who was doing experiments in the laboratory on its branches to interrupt his work.
But the fishman did not complain about this. High Priest Godar raised his head blankly, walked out of the laboratory quickly, and then looked up at the top of the empty world: "Galan Nord, did you hear that?! "
"I heard it."
From the huge world tree, the voice of an elf came from the light, but there was a hint of solemnity in the tone: "This voice is very strange and weird... Although I don't understand what is said, there is no doubt that it must be very important." .”
"But not as important as the job at hand."
Godard frowned and thought for a while on the branch. He said: "You continue the experiment, I will contact Eagle and the others... Damn, Joshua is not here, and the secret work of the Seven Gods seems to have reached a critical moment - maybe We need to ask the governing will of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Site. Although it doesn’t know much, it is at least richer than us.”
Just when the fish-man high priest was about to contact other legendary powerhouses, the natural teacher gave him unexpected good news: "Wait a minute, Godar."
"My experiment may be successful, wait until I determine the final step."
Hearing this, the fishman high priest was stunned at first, and then he was surprised and delighted: "Really succeeded!?"
"Have you developed a vaccine for the extreme virus?"
The giant tree did not answer, but a green halo enveloped Godard. He did not resist, and the next moment, the high priest came to a hall entirely composed of emerald green, half wood and half crystal material.
That is the center of the World Tree.
The power of nature is a derived energy between magic and life energy, so it is related to everything in the world. Nothing - even man-made - can not be involved in the power of nature.
This is its advantage and disadvantage, because in a barren and lifeless world, even if there is abundant magic power, the power of nature will not be born. Similarly, in a world with many lives and no magic power, the power of nature will wither. In other words , its essence is magic with the characteristics of life energy, or life energy with the characteristics of magic. It can be said to be the earliest aggregation of extraordinary power similar to divine energy and emotional power.
In the heart of this huge world tree, the majestic life energy and magic power are constantly rushing up and down, flowing along the crystal lines on the inner wall. Guided by a dark green light formed by the force of nature, Godard came to an unusually wide place. within the compartment.
Entering the cubicle, the originally peaceful and peaceful atmosphere suddenly changed. Godard raised his head and saw the bones of countless creatures piled in the corners of the cubicle, sealed and sealed by the power of nature crystal. The high priest knows that these are the remains of creatures devoured by extreme viruses, and are experimental individuals created by the natural teacher. Looking at this number, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of beasts and monsters have been consumed in the past few days, and further experimental materials will be even more It is uncountable. After all, experimental bodies that have no value will be decomposed again and recycled as materials for the next experiment.
In the center of the compartment, in a space completely shrouded in transparent crystals, a super-large bacterial ecosystem is multiplying. Bacteria of various colors are mixed with extraordinary power. In this miniature space with a diameter of 1.5 kilometers, Creeping growth.
"According to my research, any organism that is more complex than sponges and jellyfish is extremely easy to be eroded by extreme viruses. It has certain condition selectivity. The more complex the structure, the more favored they are."
Noticing the eyes of the fish-man high priest, World Tree, which is now the body of Garan Nord, made a voice and explained: "In other words, if I want to carefully observe the erosion process of the ultimate virus, I must use sponge jellyfish. species, and creatures with a simpler structure than sponge jellyfish... There are not many of those creatures. Sponges are already the lowest multi-cellular animals, and jellyfish are a little more advanced than them."
"So you choose various microorganisms and fungi? That's right. After all, the ancestors of sponges are fungi. If you want something simpler, they are the only ones..."
Godard nodded thoughtfully. He is also an expert in the relevant field: "So you succeeded?"
"perhaps."
The voice of the natural mentor was noncommittal, and the power of nature condensed into an arrow, guiding Godard to look at the colony ecosystem: "Extreme viruses are not incapable of eroding fungi and various microorganisms. In fact, its structure is probably more complicated than the viruses we know. Small, the smallest one is even only ten nanometers, and the largest one is no more than fifty nanometers. In front of them, viruses are also objects that can be 'sublimated' - I just destroyed some of the preliminary extreme super viruses. Through spiritual energy, we can infect any intelligent life that uses spiritual power in the thinking field, and gradually transform their thinking patterns into the extreme creatures we are familiar with."
"As for these bacteria and fungi, they are not extreme organisms, but you see, they have begun to be able to control extraordinary power through the colony's situation, similar to magic circuits and rune structures... It is really a very terrifying power. "
"But precisely because of the transformation of these bacterial colonies by the Extreme Virus, I discovered a loophole in it."
"What loophole?" Godard asked hurriedly. After all, it was about Mycroft and the murlocs. Even if he was a cold-blooded creature (literally), he had to think about his own race: "Stop pretending. "
"It's very simple."
The natural teacher simply replied: "The extreme virus is a selfish and very 'smart' virus. It will ensure that its host sublimates as successfully as possible, and then assimilates with the host to become an extreme organism. However, due to limited energy, As long as it finds that the host will inevitably fail to sublimate, it will take away all the energy of the host - that is, erode the host into those dead bones in the corner - and then replicate and spread itself."
"But as long as it is not bound to fail, the Extreme Virus will never let its kind increase. It is very selfish. If it can succeed on its own, it will never generate another one."
"Combined with the previous point that 'extreme viruses are keen to corrode advanced organisms with complex structures', I can draw one factor: extreme viruses pursue the ultimateization of success alone. If it can, then the more powerful and complex the extreme organisms will be, the more complex they will be." good."
At this point, Godard already understood something, and the natural teacher said with a smile: "So, based on this factor, I found through many experiments that when the extreme virus parasitizes on lower multi-cell organisms such as sponges and jellyfish, the erosion speed It will become extremely slow... This is easy to explain, because even if the sponge jellyfish is successfully maximized, it will not be much more powerful. Perhaps only the sponges transformed into monsters have erosion value. Compared with these weak ones, Biologically wasting its own opportunities and possibilities, extreme viruses will choose to go dormant without hesitation, suspending the erosion process."
"So!" Following the natural mentor's thoughts, the fish-man high priest hammered his palms and said excitedly: "As long as the extreme virus feels like an illusion, as long as..."
"Yes, as long as the Extreme Virus is given the illusion that what it is invading is not a human being, but a large sponge, large jellyfish, large fungus, bacteria, and various single-celled organisms, then even if it is infected, it will not It will take action immediately, but it will attack after 8 to 14 days and try to find the next host."
There was an intriguing smile in the voice of the natural teacher, and she whispered: "To put it simply, as long as it thinks you are a waste, it will not erode you, but retain energy and wait for the next worthy encounter. Opportunities to erode goals.”
—As long as you become a waste, no one can take advantage of you.
After hearing this, the fishman high priest finally understood the natural teacher's thoughts.
Yes, the extreme virus is an extraordinary biochemical creation that is far more advanced than the Mycroft civilization today, and is even the inheritance of some kind of ultimate life form. It is actually a completely impossible task to fundamentally create a vaccine, at least. Garan Nord can't do it for the time being.
But on the other hand, taking advantage of the extreme virus's overly advanced and clever characteristics, you can make a fuss about it... As long as you create an extraordinary potion that allows the person who drinks it to have the biological essence of a sponge jellyfish, then the extreme virus will They will be too lazy to corrode these lower creatures and try other targets instead.
Is it difficult? It's too simple. In the extraordinary world, even dragons can turn into human forms, and even people can turn into neutron stars and even the world. They are just disguised as jellyfish fungi. It shouldn't be too simple for a legendary powerhouse.
In this case, the transfer of the extreme virus will certainly give birth to strange things such as extreme cows, extreme grasses, extreme tree vines, and extreme overlord flowers, but at least humans are safe - and this is enough. If the virus does not transfer, then There is also an incubation period of about eight days. As long as the Seven Gods and a few legendary powerhouses purify the crowd at intervals, there is no worry of a virus outbreak.
It's really bad luck. I'm naturally resistant to magic and change spells, so the potion doesn't work, or the virus attacks early... There's nothing we can do about it. The situation is critical now, and Garan Nord can only guarantee the safety of most people. Rather than ensuring that all of humanity is unscathed.
"Is success guaranteed?"
However, as soon as the excitement passed, worries arose. Godard walked around the compartment a few times and frowned again: "For example, the extreme virus discovered that its host was just pretending to be a sponge..."
"One hundred percent. As long as the extreme creature is indeed an extraordinary creation of the ultimate life form, as long as it is really that advanced, then it will definitely not take the risk of wasting energy to detect that it is invading advanced animals disguised as sponges and fungi. , or real fungi and sponges."
The tone of the natural teacher was very conclusive: "After all, it is too small. No matter how advanced the method of carrying energy is, it cannot erode multiple times. It must kill with one hit, so it gives us an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"I succeeded."
"... It can't be better." The fishman high priest took a deep breath, and he immediately picked up the communication circle in his hand. Godard couldn't wait to share this good news with other legendary powerhouses.
Eagle was the first to know the news. After listening to Godard's general explanation, he quickly realized that this was an extremely simple and feasible preventive measure.
"Now, immediately, immediately."
He said this, and then took out the communication circle, preparing to inform others: "Let Garan Nord write out the formula of the disguise potion - and then we will write it into Joshua's exchange light pillars."
"Thank God, Radcliffe finally helped a lot outside of the battle... Without the exchange of light beams, just the time it took to set up the production line would have probably killed tens of millions more people - if it were a multi-dimensional galaxy, I'm afraid That’s hundreds of billions.”
Thinking of this, the old pope hesitated for a while, then shook his head and said decisively: "-We must also inform other civilizations and tell them this method. Ha, this method is not difficult. I think it should be discovered by more than just us, so just treat it as Just a favor."
"After all... in this multiverse, the remaining civilizations can no longer be destroyed. If what the voice just said is true, then I am afraid this is the last chance."
- If at this last chance, all civilizations are still unable to work together to share resources with each other and face the biggest and most terrifying threat... then this plague called selfishness will surely cut off hope and lead to doomed destruction and destruction. The end is coming.
"This is my responsibility, the responsibility of an intelligent being."
Pope Eagle does not feel that he is extraordinarily intelligent. He knows that he is just talented, lucky, the inheritance he received is good enough, and the conditions for his growth are good. His intelligence cannot become a 'successor of the Holy Light'. Or the 'Pope of All Realms and All Peoples', the best he can do is to be Mrs. Michael's Pope, a strong, kind, good person who likes to watch the sunrise.
However, no one has ever said that Mrs. Mikelaugh and Mrs. Mikeló's Pope cannot care about the multiverse - no race can say that and say that it can be independent from all realms.
Because in the face of the disaster sweeping through the heavens and the world, all intelligent minds are a whole, not an independent island. Under the light of the flame, order will inevitably exist forever.
He believed so strongly that he got to where he is today.
And this is the complete opposite of extreme viruses, the path called civilization.
"We are the final, the last. From now on, there is no future or hope."
The sound that resounds through the multiverse echoes in the confused time and space. All the strong and all the enlightened people have understood that this is indeed the last moment. The road to the 'source' will be cut off soon, and the initial fire will be destroyed soon. The future will completely lose contact with the multiverse. From then on, everything will usher in a doomed ending, turning into black ashes that can no longer burn after the flames are extinguished.
so.
—I must succeed.
—We must succeed.
—As long as I can succeed
—As long as there is still a future for some people.
-It must be me, it can only be me. If it is not me, then the multiverse is meaningless, whether it is destruction or death, it is meaningless.
—It’s me who is the best, I hope it’s me, but if it really can’t be me, then at least I hope that I and my successors can have future possibilities.
The beasts longing for 'tomorrow', and the civilization longing for 'tomorrow'.
There is an extremely obvious dividing line between the two. This boundary is like an abyss, an abyss called the "Abyss of Tomorrow". It separates two thoughts, two behavioral patterns, and two underlying logics, and determines the multiverse. s future.
Even if there are some individuals who cannot tell the difference between the two, at least as a whole, even if it is a racially hysterical civilization that tends to destroy all alien races and destroy all non-self, at least they are also civilizations, a collective composed of countless people - Jue Most civilizations can understand.
But that's just the vast majority.
The royal court of Amos, the dome of the royal court, the void sky composed of stars.
The huge glowing nebula fell into deep thought because of the cry of the beast in the distance.
Until void battleships came flying from a distance, interrupting his contemplation.
