The world of stars, the Atrium star field, the Atrium star.
Since the Void Mother Beast was eliminated in the Atrium Civilization Colony, located around the Flower Garden Star in the Far Light Galaxy more than ten years ago, the Atrium Civilization, which was originally isolated in a corner of the universe, was quickly discovered and accepted by a huge galaxy-level civilization alliance. , and the Atrium Star, which is located just behind the battle line, has become one of the material transfer centers behind the alliance, responsible for 7.4% of the material movement of the entire Federation's Eastern Star District.
The super civilization alliance that calls itself the 'Galaxy Guardian Alliance' has power across several river systems and has more than 8,000 civilizations under its banner, and this number is still increasing - the super civilization's life custodian who is at the apex of all civilizations in the starry world. Program' is the chairman of the Galaxy Guardian Alliance. This intelligent mechanical program complex is said to have been born tens of millions of years ago and was created by the ancient pioneer civilization. It originally did not interfere in the world and was entrusted by the Creator to protect all intelligence, regardless of any The race's task is to live peacefully in a deserted galaxy and continue to observe the entire world of stars.
The creator who created them has been lost in the long river of time, and the reason has been lost, but the immortal machines still exist, and they have been constantly correcting themselves and growing while observing civilization. They were supposed to stay quietly in their own galaxy until one day, subsequent civilizations could discover their existence - but the invasion of the evil god was beyond the expectations of these intelligent programs and wiped out a fleet of the evil god's family. The custodian program calculated and found that, If they do not respond, then I am afraid that the entire world and all civilizations in the galaxy will be destroyed.
So soon, the custody programs that passed the final defense agreement were out of isolation. They - or call it that - had completely modified all their underlying programs. The custody programs began to form alliances and began to lead many races to fight against the evil god. Defensive operations.
[After calculation, we must unite. Otherwise, all civilized life will be threatened by chaos.]
The Alliance has a history of more than three thousand years. The Guardian Alliance fought against the Evil God of Chaos probably earlier than the people of Midgard built concrete houses. It is strange to say that in this world dominated by psychic energy, the strongest civilization turned out to be an intelligent one. Program aggregation and so on, it seems ironic - but it is not.
The central manager of the life preservation program, the 'Triple Curtain', controls the collective will of all intelligent sub-individuals and possesses the strongest spiritual power in the known star world. It can even directly hear the 'voice of the world' and interact with the 'world's voice'. Communicate with voices and make all kinds of incredible judgments that almost predict the future.
Some people even say that the central manager 'Triple Curtain' is basically the agent of the will of the entire star world, so every move it makes is to better protect the world.
After being accepted into the Galaxy Guardian Alliance, the Atrium Civilization quickly joined the war in heaven that affected countless star fields and galaxies. Outstanding commanders were promoted to become commanders of the combined fleet, and special biological fleets would also receive The transformation of other joined civilizations has become faster and stronger than before. Facing the invasion of chaos that can destroy everything, there is no time for internal fighting and factional fighting. Of course, there are still idiots who want to hold others back. Sabotage was carried out at the rear, but as some suspected, before these idiots put the sabotage into action, the custody procedures handled the corresponding events in an unpredictable manner.
All civilizations have been broken into pieces and become a larger individual. Those who are good at scientific research will go to scientific research, and those who are good at war will go to war. No matter what they are good at or what they are not good at, there is a place for everyone, even if A guy who is useless, gives up on himself, and thinks he is a waste, can also put on power armor and perform mechanical repetitive manual labor.
Most of the people in the Midgard quickly became allies because of their natural psychic talent, accumulated experience brought by their long lifespan, their corresponding resistance to chaos (this is particularly important), and their pretty good brains. Among the emerging races within, many veterans who had participated in the 'Far Beam Starfield Operation' or the 'Plague Mother Beast Interdiction War' more than ten years ago have become the main officers and even captains of various fleets and commandos. ,commander.
But even so, even if it has become an emerging race that is favored by many civilizations, even if the elite members of the race gradually occupy high positions, even if the home system has become one of the most important logistics and transportation bases in the entire alliance, enjoying the highest Level of security, but most people in the atrium did not feel very excited.
Because rights mean sacrifice, and all the praise from others comes from the blood sacrifices made by the people of Zhongting over the past ten years.
Atrium information, the third logistics material operation base, in the gray steel fortress, all kinds of strange aliens are walking back and forth, and outside the base, there are also all kinds of strange spaceships transporting back and forth, because this is the motherland of the people in the atrium. Galaxy, so 80% of the base staff are atrium people who are like humanoid plants. They are busy and hardworking. The entire base needs to work in three shifts 24 hours a day. However, due to the gradual increase in the number of logistics personnel, the overtime hours are also increasing. More and more, everyone has to work more than 14 hours a day, leaving only a very short time for them to eat, rest, and deal with personal problems.
An atrium logistics worker with hair that looked like cauliflower and a bulge similar to that of an afro was walking in the cafeteria. He took his plate and sat down by the window. From this angle, you can see the huge whirlpool in the ocean of the Midgard home star, and in the whirlpool, the mother tree that supports the heaven and earth and connects the minds of all Midgard people.
The existence of the mother tree is also one of the reasons for the rapid rise in the status of the people in the courtyard. Because they have a collective will Psychic body similar to the 'life preservation program' central processor and 'triple curtain', the people in the courtyard are deliberately given preferential treatment. The top leaders of the alliance, especially It is the chairman civilization of the 'Life Preservation Program' that wants to artificially cultivate a powerful psychic body similar to the 'Triple Curtain' to fight against the increasingly fierce invasion of Chaos, so it gives the green light to the people of the Atrium and relaxes it in various aspects. Channels for obtaining resources.
In ten years, the training has begun to bear fruit. Zhongtingren's mother tree is able to handle almost all logistical task calculations simply by relying on its own computing power. And because of this, Zhongtingren's logistics processing capabilities have become increasingly powerful.
Cauliflower Head doesn't pay much attention to these things. For this ordinary atrium logistics staff, there is no essential difference between driving a transport truck to help people transport supplies in a vacuum and driving a large truck to transport goods on the planet. Even It's a little more dangerous... and of course, the pay is higher. But the most important thing is probably that I am still too tired. I have to work overtime for 14 hours every day. The broccoli head has no time to think about anything else. Even when eating, it is just to put things in the mouth and chew. Swallow numbly.
"Today's dinner is noodles... It's not bad. I really envy the First Logistics Base. It relies on stars, has sunshine every day, and has abundant supplies."
It's strange to say that recently there have been many transport ships running to the first logistics base with full loads, but not many ships have come out with full loads - you know, that's supplies for one fleet at a time, and the transit base doesn't have such a large warehouse storage at all. It can't be consumption. Even if the people in the first base are all losers, there is no reason why they can consume so much.
But this doesn’t concern anyone at the Third Base. When he opened the plate, the broccoli head raised his eyebrows, feeling pretty good. Although this noodle is called noodles, it is actually a solid nutrient made from the rhizome of a strange and extraordinary plant called the 'Stardust Tree'. It has the property of being easily absorbed and can enhance some psychic abilities. Even Zhongtuan people can rely on pure epidermal absorption to absorb it completely, and then achieve the purpose of 'eating'.
Take out the chopsticks. These chopsticks are also made from the trunk of the stardust tree and can also be eaten. Hold the noodles between the cauliflower heads and start eating skillfully. You must know that each support staff has a fixed rest time. The more time is wasted eating, the less time is spent sleeping and communicating with relatives.
The noodles taste good and are indeed very nutritious. Although the work is tiring and hard, the alliance does not skimp on basic supplies. After all, they have to face the enemy of all order, and they cannot start an internal rebellion before defeating the opponent. After getting up, he randomly stuffed the noodles into his mouthparts that had no digestive organs, and ate them through internal absorption. The broccoli head couldn't help but think of his sunny hometown in the southwest of Zhongting Star.
Seven years... Since the mandatory military service began seven years ago, he has not returned to his hometown for seven years... He really misses his father, mother, sister who is one hundred and twenty years older than him, and his sister who is only three years older than him. Ten seconds brother.
And just when Cauliflower Head couldn't help but recall his hometown, suddenly, in front of the cafeteria, on the big screen that was broadcasting the local news of Atrium Star, there was a sudden sound of electricity.
[Zila... Now interrupt with an urgent news.]
The original Midgardian announcer was quickly replaced by a stout reporter with horns on her head, who looked like a tauren at first glance. She was standing on the bridge of a battleship and broadcast the report with a serious look: "Three people are missing. Months later, the home galaxy of Qinya Civilization once again returned to the alliance's vision... The 'Agni' emergency cleaning fleet with the latest super-heavy-armored mothership had already headed to the front line. After confirmation by the Agni Fleet, a force just happened to break out of the 'Great Roundabout Operation' encirclement. The plague evil god's family attacked Qin Ya's home system."
"Regrettably, due to the great roundabout operation, most of the fleets originally stationed in Qin Ya's home system were redeployed. After being suddenly attacked by the plague evil god's family, Qin Ya's galaxy defense force and the fleet stationed here were The '17th Mixed Patrol Fleet' all died in the line of duty, and the 4.6 billion Qinya people living on Qinya's home planet died heroically... After the commander-in-chief of the fire cleaning fleet, the five-star fleet marshal 'Kedar', who was also a Qinya people, confirmed that Qinya The home star has been completely eroded and has become a breeding ground for the 'Plague Mother Beast', so through the 'Extinction Agreement', while completely destroying Qin Ya's home star, all remnants of chaos will be eliminated in the entire galaxy."
"The success of the Great Roundabout Operation did temporarily curb the spread of the mixed Chaos Familia coalition forces of the 'Plague Evil God', the Famine Evil God, and the Stagnation Evil God. By exchanging battle losses, it directly destroyed the 'eternal void anchor point' where the Chaos Families called upon the Evil God. ', this is certainly a great strategic victory, but it cannot be denied that the large roundabout operation did not eliminate many of the effective forces of the Chaos Familia, and no matter how tight the encirclement network is, there will be various loopholes. We are not cheering for victory now. At this moment, the disaster that Qin Ya people suffered is a disaster for all civilizations in the entire alliance. We must be alert to this serious mistake and strive to prevent similar incidents from happening again... Three minutes of silence for Qin Ya civilization."
Snap.
In the still silence, a crisp sound appeared.
The chopsticks fell from his hands and fell on the plate. Cauliflower Head didn't hear what he said clearly.
In fact, ever since all members of the '17th Mixed Patrol Fleet' were killed in the line of duty, Cauliflower Head's thinking has been in chaos.
"Sister...sister...brother..."
If he remembered correctly, the Seventeenth Mixed Patrol Fleet was the fleet where his sister and brother served.
Not only that, Qin Yaren was the first Federation entity that the Midgardians encountered, and it was the other party who led the Midgardians into the Galaxy Guardian Alliance family. The official relationship between the two civilizations is very good, and the fleets of the Midgardians often merge with each other. Joining the Tanya people's fleet, or vice versa, because the Qin Ya people's home system is close to the front line, many Atrium soldiers who want to make contributions choose to join the federal army in the Qin Ya area.
All... died in the line of duty...
Cauliflower Head looked blankly at the big screen that was in silence. He knew very clearly that he was not a material for war at all. Even if he believed in God, he would prefer to believe in the Mother Tree and the Void Saint, rather than the recent ten years ago. The god has just appeared, and the momentum is getting more and more fierce. He claims to be the 'Fire God Radcliffe' who can protect war and bring victory.
He was just a support worker, while his sister and brother, who wanted to be in the limelight and bring glory to their clan. The two sisters and brothers who had witnessed the power of the Hell God and sincerely believed in each other joined the army. And he has been promoted along the way, and I heard that he has become the chief and deputy commander of the 17th patrol fleet's reconnaissance brigade.
All died in the line of duty…
To be honest, I haven’t seen each other face to face in seven years, and I haven’t had any exaggerated encounters or memories in the same year. Cauliflower Head knows that he is just an ordinary person from an ordinary family. Although his sister and brother have a good relationship with him, they have no Extremely special closeness. Since he moved out alone fifty years ago, we have rarely seen each other, not to mention that even communication is troublesome at both ends of the galaxy - how can there be so many close brothers and sisters in reality? After the separation, they are just ordinary relatives, only a little bit close at most.
All dead.
He shouldn't have been sad...at least, he thought, he didn't need to be so sad.
Cauliflower head lowered his head and looked at the noodles on the plate, his eyes blankly... He originally thought that he would not be sad, very sad, because when those two guys joined the army, he knew that sooner or later something like this would happen. One day - Where can there be an undefeated army, and where can there be people who will never die? Especially when he refused the invitation of his sister and brother and insisted on staying in the home system as a logistics manager, the two parties had a big quarrel. The other party rebuked him as a coward, while he mocked the other party as a short-lived ghost.
Picking up the chopsticks tremblingly, Cauliflower Head continued to eat. The moment of silence was only three minutes, and the rest time would still be counted as usual. There was no reason to delay himself for others.
But it wasn't until a person from the atrium sat next to him and was kindly reminded by the other person that Cauliflower Head realized that he didn't have noodles on his chopsticks at all, and that what he had just eaten was chopsticks.
Until this time, he collapsed on the table as if he was exhausted.
—The lifespan of people in Zhongting is long, and hundreds of years are only two generations.
We haven’t contacted each other for seven years. At most, we were busy for a few months and forgot to call home. No one took it seriously.
The head of cauliflower has always felt that time is very long, very long. People in the courtyard have plenty of time, so there is no need to be in such a hurry to contact... It was only then that coolant seeped out of the leaves all over the head. Only then did the man who started crying realize that he had originally thought that 'I don't care', I just feel that the time is very long, I feel that there are plenty of opportunities to communicate, and I feel that there will be a day in the future when I and my loved ones can wait for a good time to sit down and chat, slowly resolve the misunderstanding, and start a relaxed and happy life again .
Just like those ordinary days in the past hundreds of years.
But time waits for no one.
Not so many 'ifs', so many 'thoughts', so many 'feelings'.
"God... God..."
He knew that there was no reason for God to be everyone’s nanny, and there was no reason for God to do anything for people. He knew that God was just a sign, representing a path that should be followed and a representative of order, but Cauliflower Head still couldn’t bear it. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and stopped his tears. This former logistics worker who was greedy for stability clenched his fists. He raised his head and looked at the top of the big screen in the cafeteria. The three hanging in the center of the lobby. One of the holy symbols, the 'Φ' shape, represents the holy symbol of the 'God of Hell'.
"I... want to fight."
There is no resentment or anger. The people of Zhongting are spiritual civilizations like plants. Even in the face of death and sorrow, farewell and despair, they can still face it calmly, be enemies with them calmly, and then face death calmly. .
But - even so, no matter how brave and aware the Zhongting people are, sometimes they can't help it.
Unable to resist, go and pray.
And right now.
Just at this moment.
A bright light burst out from the poles of the star in the Atrium parent galaxy, and two extremely bright silver divine lights were like two spears, spreading endlessly towards the dark vacuum of the universe.
The star rotates, slowly rotating, and as it slowly rotates, unparalleled, incredibly huge energy begins to be extracted from the core of the star - you can see, thirty-six layers of spectacular, as huge as a chain The silver ring formation emerged from nothingness, flickering and jumping like electrons surrounding the atomic nucleus. The light erupted from the ring formation and the poles of the star, forming an extremely huge, star-level 'Φ' shape. The holy symbol, it rapidly extracts the energy of this star and sends it into the void outside the world.
"What, what is this?!"
Even Cauliflower Head was shocked by this scene. Even in a distant space base, he could clearly see the changes in the stars in the distance, even though the changes had occurred for nearly ten minutes: "The first logistics base's What are people doing!?"
The answer is actually very simple.
That's a sacrifice.
- Sacrifice in ancient times, by sacrificing something in exchange for the gaze of a great being...or the arrival of it.
After tens of days of preparing supplies, dumping enough resources to determine the outcome of a huge battle, even at the expense of a star, a star in the central system for the supply of supplies, the people of Zhongting did not hesitate to make an unprecedented gamble. .
And they won the bet.
The silver ripples shook the world. As the central star became smaller and smaller, more and more mass and energy were lost, and the bright silver light became brighter and brighter, even completely replacing the original brilliance of the star - an extremely huge hole. , a rift that seemed to lead to distant space and time, the far end, slowly appeared in the center of the star, began to expand, and swallowed up the star's mass.
"Confirm 'Horizon Signal.'"
"The 'Dawn Node' is in place."
"The 'mystery node' is in place."
"The 'circle points' are in place."
In the huge steel base above the star, in front of a huge crystal ball, Milhabs, the most powerful psyker in the atrium, calmly determined whether every node was ready. After confirming that everything was intact, he Taking a deep breath, his calm expression began to break. The powerful psyker, who no longer had a leaf on his head, pressed his hands hard on the crystal ball, and endless silver-blue light burst out from all over his body!
He almost gritted his teeth and roared: "Charge, activate - 'Abyss of Tomorrow'!"
"Open! The Abyss of Tomorrow!"
The harmonies of countless people sounded, and at the same time, countless points of light bloomed at the same time - billions of beams of light, flying from every corner of the entire galaxy, and then converged among the stars.
On the shrinking star, the psychic focusing ring project has been completed, and the super-speed cohesive filling array is online. The energy of the star is absorbed and squeezed, and then turned into a virtual singularity. Under the response of the great existence on the far side, it opens like The abyss-like gate of time and space—but now, everything is on track, and the star is rapidly extinguishing. Not only the core, but almost all the fuel in the entire star has been artificially focused and burned.
It can be seen that the interior of this hollow seems to reflect the distant stars. The distorted light shadow appears in this hollow, like the bright and indifferent eyes of the giant god. The giant god's pupils are deep, as if it is the place where all things die. The endless abyss of Naraku.
And the brilliance of countless psychics in the atrium drew countless arcs in the darkness. They converged and merged into one, and then submerged into the abyss, pulling the beings on the other side to arrive.
- Unprecedented, even surpassing the 'Eternal Void Anchor' of the Evil God Familiar Clan, the largest and craziest 'Void Gate' summoning ceremony in the history of the Star World, was calmly called the 'Abyss of Tomorrow' plan by all plan participants, and it was a success Expand it, you can see that a star has been gradually sacrificed and swallowed by the dark void. The light shining on the star has disappeared, causing darkness to spread within the galaxy.
However, a new, dazzling silver light appeared, illuminating everything.
-Exchange today's sun for tomorrow's light, exchange today's darkness for tomorrow's hope.
—If we can’t win and ascend to heaven, then let’s fall into the abyss called the future together.
It can be seen that under this huge energy fluctuation, the space is shaking like cloth in the wind. The entire galaxy is dim, then brighter. In the center of the abyss-like black space-time rift that swallows the stars, a huge silver star appears. Recognizing the original position of the sun, he began to slowly materialize and travel through it, as if he was swimming out of the distant sea water and coming ashore.
The entire galaxy, all sensors, all communication equipment and observation arrays were shut down one by one. A huge amount of extremely complicated information and huge gravity suddenly appeared, almost throwing out all the planets for the entire week. , it can be heard that countless people screamed and began to pray at the Atrium Mother Star - but the huge gravity quickly disappeared, as if it had never appeared before, and at the same time, a perfect silver ball replaced it. It has become the original star of the people of Zhongting, and controls the operation of the entire galaxy.
He radiates light gently, illuminating the dark vacuum.
At this moment, the people in the atrium heard it. They heard the voice of the man they worshiped as a god.
"Do you still have the courage
Is there still hope
If you want to fight for tomorrow, grab your weapons now. "
Cauliflowerhead heard it, the Midgardians heard it, all the members of the Galaxy Guardian Alliance, all sentient beings with intelligence, everything, everything heard it.
They heard the desolate horns, the passionate war drums, the whispers and encouragements that resounded in all the sad dark nights and desperate dreams.
"We will open up the future with the faith in our hearts, and crush the doomsday with the weapons in our hands!"
—Burn life, burn anger.
—Right now.
