Far away, there are endless world clusters and multiverse galaxies.
The multiverse galaxy is the largest cluster of galaxies in the currently observable multiverse. If a strong person observes it in the void, he will find that its shape is an extremely regular perfect circular disk, and countless world galaxies are neatly arranged. Arranged in sequence, they form a world cluster structure that is so huge that it exceeds imagination.
The closer the world galaxy is to the inner side of the multiverse galaxy, the higher its energy level is, and the closer the world is to the molten form at the beginning of the birth of all things. Although rich in resources, such a world is not suitable for most intelligent life to thrive. On the contrary, a large number of intelligent civilizations have been nurtured in the halo disk near the outside of the disk structure.
On a cantilevered bulge on the lower right side of the galaxy in the multiverse, in an edge world galaxy, there is a booming civilization that has arisen in the past thousand years and is expanding in the void.
The intelligent life that calls itself the Eldar race is a civilization developed by wasp-like insects that gained their own will through their souls. They were originally just a kind of large omnivorous insect that lived in groups on the 'origin planet', and their social structure was similar to that of bees. Except for the insect mother, no individual in each group has intelligence. However, due to a large-scale geological change in the origin of the mother planet, the magic energy veins hidden underground were exposed on the surface. It caused a large-scale "magic recovery" phenomenon, causing the bees to Group individuals gain souls and appear wisdom.
Surprisingly, despite being bee-like insects, the Eldar did not merge into a huge hive consciousness after gaining wisdom. In fact, they formed a monarchy system with the Queen Mother as the core, and in a series of In social reform, the government was recognized as a virtual monarchy similar to a constitutional monarchy.
The Eldar are naturally calm and good at obeying order. They have developed a complex but efficient bureaucracy to manage the intricate world-class nest community. In addition, since there are no other intelligent beings born from the awakening of souls on their origin planet, they have always been They all have great curiosity about life forms in other worlds.
In fact, the Eldar race is also lucky. The world galaxy they are in is extremely remote. Due to the lack of high-energy environmental catalysis, there are no other advanced void civilizations in the same galaxy. Those notorious natural disaster civilizations are also not very popular due to lack of resources and other reasons. The most dangerous advanced civilization operating in this galaxy is the fleet civilization known as the 'Knowledge Receiver'. They wander throughout the galaxy of the multiverse.
The Eldar civilization did not know that the knowledge collectors had indeed discovered them, but because the Eldar were too backward at that time, they did not spend any effort to get close.
Therefore, today's Eldar civilization is equivalent to monopolizing a world galaxy. They have expanded greatly in the last thousand years, and their technological level has also improved dramatically. Now they have the climate of a large-scale interstellar empire. Everything can be said to be Said it was smooth sailing.
Except for the sudden attack three hundred and fifty-one years ago.
Everything originated from an abnormal fluctuation of time and space. The central brood received an emergency alarm from the edge star field. A first-class mining world that was ready to be developed was suddenly attacked by an unknown race. Just overnight, the entire world was 100% Eighty percent of the mass is stripped away, and the remaining remains are the worst worthless silt.
Most of the Eldar individuals responsible for guarding the world died in that huge change. Only a few technicians at the Void Observatory survived. They all suffered great stimulation, as if they had seen something incredible. , in the fragmented words, they can only be heard repeating the word 'behemoth'.
But this is not the end, but just the beginning - soon, after the first alarm sounded, the second, third, and even more than a dozen alarms sounded one after another, and one after another was ready to be developed, was being developed, or had been developed. The world suffered a sudden attack and its quality was stripped away. Not only that, many uninhabited and low-value worlds were destroyed, and the water resources in several ocean worlds were also drained.
If you look at it from the star map, it is a huge shadow that is constantly invading the territory of the Eldar from the edge of the galaxy. Wherever it passes, it is desolate, like grass that has been gnawed by locusts.
At the moment of crisis, the Eldar gathered all their fleet strength - but because there were really no external enemies, the strength of the Eldar's fleet was simply useless compared to the size of the entire civilization, with only less than a hundred ships in operation. small and medium-sized warships, but even so, the Eldar still dispatched this only fleet to the periphery of the world star field where the shadow was about to invade, preparing to resist the unknown powerful enemy.
Then, they knew what the so-called 'behemoth' meant.
It was a mighty cluster of nearly forty void behemoths. The giant crab-shaped void behemoths that could cover the sky and the sun, and even the stars, advanced silently. The combined fleet of the Spirit Race could not even connect a single limb of these behemoths. The space-time turbulence caused by their advance will even affect the orbit of the world.
Not accepting communication, not accepting communication, not accepting resistance, the huge behemoth fleet responded to all the Eldar communications and battles with silence. They didn't even care about the suicide attacks launched by the Eldar fleet, but just plundered the resources of one world after another. Then he flew forward like this, destroying one world after another.
That attack did not cause devastating damage to the Eldar civilization. All densely populated worlds on the trajectory were evacuated urgently, and the Void Behemoth fleet simply moved forward in a straight line and stored all the resources it could. There was no pursuit of the Eldar's evacuation fleet.
They were not attacks, they were simply passing by. They were just the damage caused by the giant stepping on the ant nest, which was too big for the ants. Fortunately, after walking halfway through the Eldar civilization circle, these The giant beasts seemed to have reserved enough resources. They did not continue to destroy the world, but just flew towards the end of the world's galaxy.
The disaster they encountered resulted in the death of tens of millions of Eldar individuals, and had a great impact on the Eldar civilization. They finally realized that there were other powerful civilizations in the huge world galaxy, and these powerful civilizations Sometimes civilization cannot be described as 'friendly' and 'malicious', because if it does not reach a high enough level, let alone communication, the strong will not be able to detect the desperate counterattack of the weak.
'They' just passed by and disappeared at the end of the galaxy that the Eldar could not observe. As for whether the consequences were destruction or help, it was none of 'them''s business.
Because of this, today's Eldar civilization is vigorously developing void technology and investing its national power in combat fleets. After hundreds of years of continuous development, the Eldar civilization has not waited for the powerful existences and enemies that they are wary of, but has been very concerned about the development of the fleet. It has become a deep-rooted tradition of the entire civilization. Now, the huge void fleet of the Eldar has taken shape. They firmly believe that even if they encounter the void behemoth army of the past again, at least they will not be at a disadvantage, and they will not be as helpless as before.
Out of vigilance against sudden attacks hundreds of years ago, the Eldar civilization has been collecting information about the surrounding star fields and world galaxies as much as possible to avoid being attacked by the behemoth fleet without warning like it was in the past. Unsuspecting... Of course, they have gained nothing in the past few hundred years. After all, the Eldar who are isolated in the offset galaxy do not know how anxious the situation in the galaxy cluster in the entire multidimensional world is at this time. Naturally, there is no civilization. It would be a waste of time to send a fleet to explore the edge galaxy at the end of the world.
And just when the Eldar themselves began to slack off, they no longer paid attention to detecting information from the surrounding galaxies.
A monitoring station from the edge of the Eldar Empire sent a vague emergency notification to the central nest of the origin home planet.
"... Respect, in the name of the Great Mother Queen, the twenty-fourth generation of Awakened Kailuoya, the 937th Frontier Monitoring Station has detected a very weak fluctuation of magic energy... "
"...It spreads rapidly in the depths of the silent void with extraordinary energy levels. Our technicians and instruments are unable to trace the source of this fluctuation..."
"... It is not a misjudgment caused by the aging of the equipment. This is indeed some kind of abnormal magic energy fluctuation, mixed with some weird spiritual energy flows. We apply for advanced detection equipment... "
At first, this emergency notification did not attract the attention of the entire empire. Although local technicians repeatedly reiterated that this was not a misjudgment caused by aging instruments, such vague reports and almost isolated data cannot be used as According to the evidence, some senior officials in the technical department even suspected that this was just an excuse made by the local monitoring station to ask for more funds.
Originally, this kind of thing was like throwing a pebble into the lake, causing no big waves, but to the surprise of the entire Eldar clan hierarchy, similar emergency notifications came one after another from all the border monitoring stations in the entire empire. .
"... Our instruments sensed some extremely weird energy fluctuations that are completely different from the system we are familiar with... "
"... Our monitoring station intercepted a strange subspace echo, the sound coming from the unknown depths of the silent void... "
"... It has been confirmed that the echo was very weak at first, but it is gradually getting stronger as time goes by. It seems that something is approaching our galaxy... "
"... Its source is in the depths of Silent Void, but we cannot correctly judge its scope. The current explanation is that Silent Void is usually too calm, which will cause a huge range of resonance as long as any abnormal energy fluctuations occur in its depths. Wave… "
"...Technicians can't explain the cause. This strange phenomenon has never been seen before, but we are still analyzing the existing data and hope to get support from advanced equipment..."
Although most of the notices from different monitoring stations are different, their essence is the same - all monitoring stations located at the edge of the world's galaxies have detected corresponding strange fluctuations. The source of these fluctuations is unknown and occurs in the silent void. Deep inside, there is no way to know why it happened.
For the Eldar living on the edge of multiple galaxies, the void toward the inside of the world galaxy is a normal void, while the void toward the outside of the world galaxy is called the Silent Void. Because there is no other world outside, the Silent Void exists all the time. It is an extremely peaceful state without being disturbed by a large amount of time and space fluctuations.
But now, Silent Void is no longer Silent, which immediately triggered a heated discussion within the empire's technical department.
Not only that, the news about these fluctuation signals has now become a variety of bizarre speculations in the media. For example, there is a new world galaxy being born on the other side of the galaxy. For example, the behemoth fleet that disappeared inexplicably in the past is emerging from silence. Returning from mid-air... The Eldar Empire, which was developing steadily, suddenly saw an upsurge in speculation about external signals.
A large amount of high-end equipment has been supported by these border monitoring stations. The Eldar Empire has begun to mobilize fleets and prepare for exercises. They are also alert to the arrival of their new friends and possible enemies in the future. In short, they will be ready for all exchanges. and threats.
However, after all, the Eldar are just a new empire. They may not lag behind in terms of void battleship technology, but they are a bit too weak in terms of information monitoring and extraordinary power systems.
Multiple world galaxies, many civilizations also located in the edge areas, powerful extraordinary individuals, and prosperous super civilizations that span multiple galaxies have all detected corresponding strange signals. They can all hear the energy from distant galaxies. Waves and Warp Echoes.
