Shepherd (scientific name: Abnormal super-magic fungal aggregate)
On May 3, 839, Starfall, a void nomadic life form was discovered on the edge of the galaxy in the native world. This race coexists with crab-shaped void behemoths and cannot adapt to the dry and low-magic environment. Its social system is similar to centralized power, and most of them The Shepherds are loyal to the twenty-seven 'Kings of the Sky' who can control the behemoths of the void.
Each King of the Sky Realm can rule all the Shepherds on a Void Behemoth, but just as all the Shepherds are loyal to the King of the Sky Realm, all Kings of the Sky Realm are loyal to the strongest of the race, named for the existence of the 'Great Khan'.
The social development and technological level of this race are extremely high. It has a complete language and cultural customs, and has a complete inheritance of extraordinary power to reach the ultimate soul. However, because the Shepherds themselves are a race that extremely advocates the soul, they ignore the physical strength. , so they do not have the inheritance of the ultimate intention of force.
The strongest of the race, the Great Khan's strength is the legendary high level. He can control twenty-seven legendary void beasts, but other than these, the power level of the King of the Sky Realm is only the soul's ultimate high level. Or at the peak, except for the Great Khan, they have not found a way to break through the legend with a pure soul body.
Remark:
In terms of the level of extraordinary power alone, the development level of the Shepherd is far inferior to that of us (Mycroft), but its scale is far beyond our knowledge. In any single void realm (the world on the back of the Void Beast), there is a population of Shepherd citizens comparable to that of a large kingdom. After rough statistics, the total population of the Shepherds is an astonishing 570 million. This number is comparable to the total population of Mycroft's world.
In terms of high-end force, we have an overwhelming advantage. We only need to block the attack of the strongest Great Khan, and only 3 to 5 legendary strong men can block the impact of the Void Behemoth cluster. These transformed Void Behemoths They have a much stronger shell and faster movement than similar ones, but at the same time, they have also lost all kinds of powerful attack methods. They are even powerless to some legendary strongmen...
"It appears the situation is more serious than we thought."
The sun is scorching in the sky.
In the sky above the Xibaert Plateau, the core center of the huge surveillance system is located on the throne at the top of the clouds at an altitude of 10,000 meters. Emperor Israel stared at the light curtain condensed from the spiritual terminal in his hand and murmured in a low voice. : "Without high-end force, just based on the number and warfare methods of these Shepherds, we will be crushed like biscuits by them."
With that said, he put down the optimistic report in his hand and pondered for a moment: "Teacher, do you think what these shepherds say can be believed?"
"We just have to believe."
On the left side of the throne, Nostradamus walked out slowly. He looked out the window at the changing clouds below the throne in the clouds, as well as the too bright and dazzling sunlight. He replied calmly: "Even the Shepherd Star Some exaggerate, or deliberately conceal the threat. Until we really go to the new world they talk about, we can only believe in these big mushrooms."
Hearing his teacher's words, the emperor narrowed his eyes. He opened the light curtain of the spiritual terminal in his hand again and shook his head: "If what these big mushrooms say is true."
"Then their strength is not that strong."
The current time is March 23rd, year 840.
More than two weeks have passed since Joshua's exchange with the Great Khan, the Shepherd of the Stars.
Joshua naturally relayed all the information he communicated with the Great Khan to other legends. Soon, the entire Shepherd family was guided to a dark star field that was 'not too bad' in their eyes. Where they are stationed, they are allowed the right to live under the supervision of the powerful men in Mycroft's world.
In fact, with the strength of Joshua and other legends present, it is not possible to directly kill the Great Khan, kill twenty-seven giant beasts of the void, and wipe out 570 million Shepherds and the void realm where they live. Whatever is difficult, their power can even extinguish stars. In the eyes of these super beings, more than 500 million people are just a relatively large number. If they really start to do it, it is not much more troublesome than killing 500 people.
But in the end, after long negotiations and future considerations, everyone finally decided to let the Star Herders go - this is of course not because of any kindness of women, just because of their technology, knowledge and power, which has great influence on Mycroft's world. It is still useful, even very useful.
Apart from anything else, at least in terms of information on the external galaxy, the information provided by the Shepherd is the only one.
"There are hundreds of void civilizations, and the population of each void civilization is in the billions, or even tens of billions."
Israel rubbed his right temple in distress, and whispered: "The number of fleet crews of these civilizations alone may not be less than that of our entire empire - their artillery fire can destroy them in an instant. The surface of our world has been completely cleansed. Ha, isn’t that what these shepherds are like? They intervened in the war between an advanced civilization and evil gods, and the entire civilization was directly destroyed by stray bullets.”
"They have developed for tens of thousands of years, while we only have 1,200 years... Rather, it would be abnormal if there was no such gap."
In the face of Israel's complaint, although Nostradamus didn't seem to agree with Israel's statement, he still only answered from the side: "Although the scale of civilization in those outer galaxies is ten times larger than mine. , a hundred times or even a thousand times, but their high-end force is not beyond our imagination, and is even inferior to us. Israel, although it is a bit funny, I must say, don’t be scared by the population. "
"According to Joshua's classification, our Mycroft civilization is an 'extraordinary civilization'. Although ordinary people are the foundation of civilization, it does not affect high-end combat capabilities."
Both Nostradamus and Israel had already heard Joshua talk about the speculation of 'time dilation'. Coupled with the difference in recorded time between the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice and the Akrafa Hub, this The guesses have basically been confirmed, so they know clearly that there is a gap of thousands or even tens of thousands of years between the Mycrof civilization and the civilizations of the outside world.
And what Nostradamus said is indeed true.
Originating from the fundamental inheritance of the Era of Glory, the Mycroft civilization in the Era of Starfall has never fallen behind in terms of high-end powerhouses, and is even continuing to develop. Although ordinary people may only live a medieval life, even if Even a gold-level mage can use ultra-long-distance apex teleportation, a technology that ordinary void civilizations cannot develop.
The difference in individual strength is so great that it is completely impossible to compare the combat effectiveness of the two sides with numbers.
For a legendary strong man, if there is no interference or threat from other strong men of the same level, it is only a matter of time before he kills all the living creatures in the world. If he is slower, he would be like Sword Master La Motte, who needs to chop with one sword after another. It may take more than ten years to kill, but if it is a legend of indiscriminate destruction like Joshua, Eagle and Faina, it may not take even one day to destroy the entire world.
Especially Joshua and Faina. Joshua could eat a smaller world as easily as eating biscuits. Faina's battle with the ether dragon in the Seventh Abyss made that cold world come to an end. It's still warm and lava is flowing everywhere.
At this level, one of them is equivalent to the entire void fleet of the external civilization, so even if the total population of the civilization is only a fraction of the other party, Nostradamus feels that there is no need to be too afraid.
"Teacher, I'm not afraid of outside civilizations. I'm not even afraid of the evil gods that are coming in the future, let alone other worlds and races?"
In response to Nostradamus's confident answer, Israel sighed, but then he laughed again. His Majesty the Emperor's expression looked a little emotional. He raised his head and looked at the empty sky, looking down. He said loudly: "I just lament that even with the population of hundreds of millions in our Mycroft world, the total number of extraordinary beings is less than one-tenth, so many legendary powerful people can be born - then if we also have What about billions, or even tens of billions of people? What if we could popularize the practice of extraordinary power just like other civilizations popularize knowledge and culture?"
"Then, maybe we can be like the Era of Glory, with more than a hundred legends, dozens of true gods, countless ultimate intentions, gold-level powerhouses, and basically ordinary citizens who are silver-level and upward, right? Here we are. At that time, a race like the Star Shepherds could easily be suppressed by just dispatching a local army."
Having said this, Israel squeezed the information terminal in his hand and said with some humor: "Unfortunately, what is left for us is only a few decades... If it is given to us, it will give the Mycroft civilization five hundred years. , restoring the glory of the Glorious Era is just a matter of time."
"Five hundred years is too beautiful for you to think about." Nostradamus couldn't help but shook his head and smiled: "Don't be too greedy, one hundred and fifty years is not bad."
"But one hundred and fifty years is still very greedy." The emperor also smiled, and suddenly, the entire high-altitude throne was filled with a happy atmosphere.
And just after he finished laughing, Israel's expression returned to seriousness. He closed his eyes and continued to be immersed in the information monitored by the Skynet system across the country.
"There is basically no crime within the empire - all the lunatics and fools who dared to risk committing crimes are either dead or imprisoned, and there is harmony on the earth."
He paused, and then said: "The opening of professional schools is gradually on the right track, and infrastructure construction has never stopped. The current empire is more stable and prosperous than ever before... It is really unimaginable. I was still thinking about it a few years ago. , How can I die more decently?"
"Teacher Nostradamus, do you feel that I have reached the limit of my life?"
Hearing this, Nostradamus turned his head, and the old mage looked serious.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
