[In the beginning, there were almost no signs of it.
Where no one expected, something suddenly appeared. It began to replicate itself and gradually spread to the outside world.
From simple to complex, from mild to aggressive, from harmless to deadly.
This thing spreads, spreads, and reproduces in more sophisticated and clever ways. They erode everything in the world, and everything is for the purpose of continuing itself]
Extreme virus.
Mrs. McLord noticed this unusual plague for the first time. It was mainly a small group of adventurers and a small number of Shepherds wandering in the multi-dimensional galaxy. In the intelligence feedback, it appeared that some void civilizations had started an abnormal secluded policy, and some Indigenous civilizations other than the Void Civilization also experienced extremely strange mass extinction phenomena.
That happened a few months after Joshua left.
After the exchange conference with many void civilizations, the Mycrov civilization temporarily stopped its external expansion due to the population of the core nation. It no longer conquered new colonies and opened up new territories, but its exploration and adventure activities did not. There is no stopping.
Many members who were originally affiliated with the expeditionary force's reconnaissance team have been transferred to teams of void adventurers with official support to explore the boundless and diverse galaxies. There are also many private explorers who want to see far away places. The wider world also embarks on a journey to distant places.
Not to mention the Shepherd family that originally wandered the stars. With the official approval of Mycroft, most of the Shepherds were split into several parts. Some of them were given considerable freedom and could once again do whatever they wanted. Grazing among the stars, you don’t have to be restricted to one place.
Starting from the star gate space-time hubs of the Mycrov civilization distributed across multiple galaxies, the traces of the adventurers have appeared quite far away - after all, they did not set out in the past few months, but in the Mycrov civilization. When the husband civilization launched its external conquests, it had already set out a year or two ago. Through the dense transmission network of various civilizations, as well as the fully upgraded void engine and transition system, even the adventurer team with the worst hardware had The speed of crossing half of the galaxy in one or two years.
The official exploration team with the most luxurious equipment can even directly cross an almost infinite distance in a short time with the support of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Site, and conduct arbitrary teleportation at the coordinates set within the galaxy.
It was these exploration teams that communicated most frequently with the coalition government that discovered the anomalies in the other world and reminded the top leaders of the Mycroft civilization that the plague was not far away from them.
"This is... the Kagan Galaxy... in the indigenous civilization on the edge of it... we found the remains of the ultimate virus close to what Marshal Radcliffe mentioned... "
"Yes... half of the planet's population has died, and beasts and bacteria are not immune... It has become a dead place. If there are not some intelligent life forms living in deserts and polar regions, I am afraid that the entire planet will become a lifeless desert... "
"The extreme virus has disappeared. It appeared for a short time... but there is another super bacteria that seems to have evolved and is still raging... We have sent the bacterial sample information back to the unified information database... That can never appear through natural evolution. …”
"... Being infected will turn into a nearly immortal zombie... Rely on devouring organic matter to maintain mobility... The strength is about around silver... Extremely dangerous... Highest alert!"
Because there will be huge delays and distortions when communicating across galaxies, even with the assistance of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrificial Site, a certain degree of lag and loss of information are inevitable. However, this team of adventurers exploring the Kagan Galaxy delivered unexpectedly complete and precious information, that is, the fact that the 'Extreme Virus' has indeed spread from the Bloody Battle Galaxy.
When Kreller, who was working with Elma in the bloody battle across the galaxy, encountered the Extreme Virus for the first time, and Joshua also relayed this information to the Mycroft Civilization Headquarters, not many people cared about it—after all, the one who suffered the disaster was As enemies, the Royal Court of Amos and the Thakur Annihilation Order, these two xenophobic natural disaster civilizations, no matter what crises and disasters they encounter, other civilizations will only laugh and watch the fun.
What's more, the closest one to the bloody battle galaxy is the galaxy of Mycroft Colony, which is also an extremely long distance away. It's not too late to wait until the plague area approaches before taking precautions. After all, it's just a plague. How can it cross such a long void and directly What about the homeland that affects distant civilizations? Most people think so.
What is more puzzling is that the adventurer team discovered details about the extreme virus.
First of all, the virus is extremely contagious and lethal, and its vitality is also extremely tenacious. It can survive in the void - but on the planet where its remains were found, not only were all the extreme viruses extinct, but some intelligent life even remained in the desert and Remote areas such as ice sheets are struggling to survive, and a super bacteria that has been obviously strengthened by the extreme virus, but is far inferior to it, has taken its original position and strangled the remaining intelligent life.
This is very contradictory, but it can be explained: the lifespan of the ultimate virus activation is so short, so it suddenly disappears before it has time to kill all life on a planet. The second point of doubt only shows that the extreme virus does not only infect complex organisms, but even bacteria cannot escape its grasp.
This news was just the beginning. Soon, one after another, information about the great plague poured in from all corners of the multi-dimensional galaxy.
The Kagan Galaxy, the Duya Galaxy, the Musso Galaxy, the Essink Galaxy... a series of different galaxies, all of which have the same terrifying extraordinary virus appearing almost at the same time, and the source of this virus cannot be traced. There is no way to talk about it. In the same galaxy, at the same time, two civilizations that are also infected with the extreme virus may be as far apart as half a galaxy.
This is something that simply doesn't make sense.
Many adventure teams didn’t know how to explain this, and panic arose in their hearts—if this plague could infect the distant world of Mycroft out of thin air, would they become sinners of civilization? With this in mind, for a while, many adventure teams stopped sending messages to the coalition government headquarters.
Until that day, an adventurous team accidentally discovered the possible truth behind the virus.
"There is no source of infection!"
Across the distance in time and space, the two worlds are connected through the mighty power of the blessing of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Site. The hoarse voice of the leader of an adventurer team revealed a strong sense of confusion and confusion. This adventurer who wrapped himself in a biochemical suit The author really didn't know how to explain the phenomenon he discovered: "This plague... this virus appeared out of thin air!"
"When we came to this world, the plague had not yet appeared. The Seven Gods, we just happened to observe the emergence of the extreme virus and infect the whole world!"
"It... is like a natural coincidence - yes, it is a coincidence! In an empty place, nature just gave birth to the prototype of this virus. It appeared in the forest and infected the local trees, and this prototype conformed to As the local environment evolved rapidly, it became an extremely terrifying virus that could consume all human flesh and blood, and not even the soul could escape!"
"We have escaped from this world, but the observation array left behind can observe that this plague is still raging on the continent, even in the ocean... This appeared out of thin air, and it has no source at all!"
…
Mycroft Civilization, Jetrum Starfield, Stargate Void Base Conference Hall.
In the solemn hall, an old voice was calmly reciting an observation record.
"... First, corrode the flesh and blood, and start a rapid evolution within the living body by consuming the energy reserves of the host body. At this step, more than 99% of the hosts will over-evolve and cause the collapse of the life essence due to insufficient energy reserves. And die, and their flesh, blood and souls will become the energy of virus evolution and be consumed. However, there is still a chance of success. According to calculations, if they are prepared to deal with it, an ordinary person with a large amount of energy can have tens of billions of dollars. There is a one-in-one chance of evolving successfully, reaching the sky in one step, and reaching the ultimate level."
"Similarly, for silver level and gold level, there is a one in three billion and one in a billion possibility of breaking through to the ultimate high level. That is to say, after breaking through the limit of life, you can also get a strengthening and touch the legendary The threshold... And if he is at the extreme level and is well prepared, then the possibility of him surviving the evolution of the virus increases to one in a million! And after the evolution, he, or it, may be able to rely on the power of the virus to achieve success A special legend, but even if it survives, the thinking mode of this viral super life form will be transformed and become a new life that is completely different from the original one, but with the same memory."
"Death of rebirth, I am going to call this the process of extreme virus catalysis. Even if it survives the extreme evolution like rebirth, the original life has died, and the only survivors are monsters with the memory of the original owner."
"This is the extreme virus... Everyone, what do you think of the discoveries made by the Haig team and many other exploration teams in the alien galaxy?"
Legendary powerhouses such as Eagle, Barbarossa, Barnier, William, and the Natural Master gathered together, either physically arriving or using avatar projections to discuss how to deal with this inexplicable and strange plague.
"Although it is weird, only this method of infection can explain why this plague infected completely different civilizations at both ends of the galaxy at the same time."
The person who asked the question was naturally the host of the meeting, Pope Eagle of the Seven Gods, and the person who answered the question was Chief Barbarossa of the White Tower, who has been studying the magical knowledge brought by the Knowledge Receiver recently and delving into the nature of extraordinary power. . This extremely smart mage raised his head and said calmly: "They have actually been infected for a long time, and the emergence of the virus is just a form of the 'plague' manifested."
"In other words, we do have to be careful, at least not to allow those exploration teams that have discovered extreme viruses to return to their headquarters immediately... Although it is a bit ruthless, they are very dangerous now and need to be carefully observed."
Mycroft's legendary strongman will not give up his compatriots easily. This kind of custom is mainly due to the good habits brought by Eagle, Joshua and others, even if they are cold-blooded like the fishman high priest and rational like Barbarossa , nor can you give up explicitly. In this regard, the natural teacher nodded solemnly: "I will send some incarnations to the distant plague homeland to explore its essential principles. If a vaccine or special medicine can be produced, then this crisis can be dealt with."
The only people who have studied things like viruses and bacteria in detail are the Natural Mentor and the Murloc High Priest, who are legendary experts who specialize in the way of life. In addition, perhaps there are people like Barnier who can control microscopic runes. , the mage who created elemental life may have studied its structure, while the fish-man high priest Godard's expertise is more focused on evolution, hybridization and life transformation, creating things that are not found in the natural ecosystem, such as creating blood that tastes like Fish with red wine, trees and vines that produce milk, etc. Creating a new virus may be his specialty, but trying to analyze its essence in detail may still be a bit unprofessional.
The professional scope of natural mentors is all existence included in all natural ecosystems. Although extreme viruses are weird, they do not exceed this scope.
"Everyone, don't you think that the situation this time is surprisingly similar to the last time the 'Evil God of Death' awakened?"
And when the legendary powerhouses present accepted part of each other's tasks and prepared to send their clones or projections to various galaxies to assist local adventurer teams and obtain as much information as possible about the extreme virus, they remained silent. However, Nostradamus frowned and made a conjecture: "That time, the entire galaxy was stirred by the chaos of the evil god of death, and a collective civilization self-destruction occurred - it also appeared out of thin air, and exerted influence out of thin air... It’s the same as the plague that appeared out of thin air this time!”
"Is it possible that this plague is actually a 'chaos information churning' created by a powerful evil god? And these seemingly invisible viruses are one of its dependents?"
—It’s not a plague, but an invasion from the Chaos Familia
This conjecture was not outlandish, and was even surprisingly reasonable, so everyone looked at each other in confusion. The Legends looked away from their previous relaxed postures and felt a sense of crisis.
"The power of the evil god of plague?"
Eagle's true form arrived at this time. The old pope stroked the armrest of the conference room seat with a thoughtful expression, but shook his head: "No, the church has always been guarding the place where the evil god of plague has been sealed. Maybe the other party has indeed developed something like the ultimate virus, but its power... "
Recalling the sound of the evil god of death's breathing that made the world's galaxies tremble before he awakened, and then corresponding to this super plague that crisscrossed more than a dozen known galaxies and affected an incredible range, Eagle felt a little unacceptable: " It is not that strong at all. To be honest, based on my current knowledge, the power of the Evil God of Plague cannot even exceed the combined efforts of everyone present. I... and Eydelil can jointly suppress it stably."
This sentence is actually modest - the old pope originally wanted to say that he alone was enough, but after thinking about it, since it was just an inference, he added the name of another legend.
After all, I have never fought before, so I should respect him verbally.
