"The codename 'Extreme Forage' has been recovered - unfortunately, Charlier United's First Farming World has been confirmed to have been completely destroyed."

The stern wind howled on the fragmented lava land, and the vortex airflow with a speed of more than 100 meters per second tore the soil and rocks into pieces, turning into a huge dust tornado, forming an extremely obvious and constantly moving mass on the surface of the world. Dull patches.

The battle between the legendary strongman and the extreme creatures completely destroyed the ecosystem of the planet - the power of the fish-man high priest was enough to throw the entire world's atmosphere out of the atmosphere. In that case, at least the destruction on the surface would be less, but because of the First Farmer's Trade The world structure of the world's round sky and square places fixes all impacts within the world, forming a rather weird implosion effect, so until now, the aftermath has not subsided.

This is one of the drawbacks of the small world formed after the emergence of 'ether'. If an overly powerful person fights in it, even if it is lucky enough not to tear it apart, the remaining aftermath will be blocked by the world barrier. Echoing in the world for thousands of years. If nothing unexpected happens, the originally pleasant agricultural trade world suitable for survival will become a broken storm world. In the future, wind, earth and fire elements may be born in this hot dust vortex with a diameter of more than 10,000 kilometers. , giving birth to brand new species and civilizations.

And just on one side of the storm, at the bottom of a huge pit that goes straight to the center of the earth, Godard's body gradually returned to its normal state, transforming into the old fishman he originally was, together with the natural teacher Garan Nord who also returned to his elf form. , standing next to a tangled body of milky white roots that had been sealed by a huge barrier of natural force, contacting Pope Eagle in the distance: "The recovery mission was successful. This guy is not weak. I went all out to press him down. Entering the core of the earth stopped it from continuing to struggle wildly, but without the roots of this guy to fix it, the continent that has been eroded for most of it cannot maintain its original shape, and the world is considered ruined."

"Of course it's alive. Garan Nord is treating it next to it. The vitality of extreme creatures is very strong. Don't worry about that."

"Yes, the core activity of Extreme Forage still exists. The two of us work together to deal with a legendary monster that only has instincts. We will not miss - yes, we can take the next step."

"Eager, should we wait for you to come over, or should we start now?"

The emerald green power of nature array is like a group of abnormally regular vines. It is wrapped around the milky white root aggregate. While absorbing the opponent's energy, it uses its own energy to maintain the opponent's body functions. Above the force of nature circle, Galan Nord, who was also in contact with Eagle, frowned slightly. She seemed to have heard some bad news: "Don't you need to wait? Are you in trouble?"

"... Has the plague actually spread... Has it alerted the surrounding void civilization? Preventing this kind of virus itself is not difficult. The most important thing to pay attention to is to beware of possible extreme creatures."

"Is that so?!"

The call didn't last long. When Godard and Garan Nord closed the communication at the same time, the two subconsciously looked at each other with the same solemn expressions.

"In the star field where Eagle and Barbarossa are located, seven extreme creatures appeared. Two of them were reincarnated by intelligent beings. They are very difficult to deal with..."

The natural teacher waved the staff in his hand, causing the magic circle tightly bound to the core of Extreme Forage to tighten again, causing the opponent to convulse painfully and spray out large tracts of white virus mist. Gallan Nord said in a heavy tone: "How long has this been?" Time? This inexplicable plague has caused tens of billions of casualties and infected so many civilizations. It has created nearly ten legendary monsters in the surrounding star fields alone! Even the evil god brought It’s nothing more than a full-scale attack by its army of dependents!”

"The evil god at least still has a body out there that can attack."

The fishman high priest shook his head. He stared at the extreme pasture in front of him and said in a somewhat vague voice: "As for this plague - to be honest, we don't even know its true origin, and we can't find a way to solve it directly. We can only defend passively.”

"So, here we are."

Clenching her fists, the natural teacher's voice sounded a bit gritted. There were obvious plant roots on Garanod's hand holding the staff, which proved that she was very angry. This elf legend couldn't help but think that if the Mycrof civilization had not been reminded by Joshua and had not been protected by the Seven Gods, just like those civilizations that knew nothing about the plague, and were infected with the extreme virus, then now, the entire What will happen to Mycroft's world, all intelligent life, and all elves

Just the possibility of imagining makes the natural teacher shudder. It is a horror that can destroy the hard work of generations of people for thousands of years in an instant. It can make all the achievements come to nothing in an instant. The elves finally returned to the void. Coming to the grand stage of the galaxy, just a man-made extraordinary plague that has no idea where it comes from and what its purpose is can wipe out everything.

"This is the dark multiverse. Effort, courage, and belief are all meaningless without strong power, no matter how beautiful and firm the will, no matter how exciting the emotions are."

The natural teacher suspended above the Extreme Forage calmed down her mood. She landed slowly and stepped on the core of the Extreme Forage with her feet. As if she felt some danger, the Extreme Forage began to struggle desperately, and even made a sound similar to that of a child. Crying like pleading - after absorbing hundreds of millions of people and tens of billions of livestock, even the mediocre man-eating grass has developed enough intelligence - but Garan Nord has no mercy for this, she His eyes were cold and his face was hard: "Fortunately, thanks to the legacy of his predecessors, Mycroft is civilized and I still have some strength."

"So I can come here and try to fix the problem."

After finishing speaking, the light suddenly shined brightly where Garan Nord was, dyeing the surrounding atmosphere with the richest and deepest dark green.

In the deep green, there was a sound like the rising tide of the sea of trees. The rustling sound turned into a holy sonata, spreading in all directions. Everywhere it passed was full of life, even if it was tied to the same place, just hanging a tree. The ultimate forage of life seems to have restored a lot of energy.

But after regaining its energy, the first thing Extreme Forage did was to continue struggling as if it were desperately trying. Although under the suppression of the force of nature, its struggle was of no use and seemed very inexplicable, but standing aside However, Godard could see that under the skirt of the natural teacher, which was composed of flowers and leaves, dark green veins like tree roots were spreading, invading the depths of the core of the extreme pasture. This strange but holy and extremely natural scene made the fish The High Priest clicked his tongue, with a look of emotion on his face.

"Most of the extreme viruses that are spreading everywhere are not complete at all. They have even mutated several times. Even if they are deciphered and studied, there is no real solution, that is, a 'vaccine'."

Godard stared intently at the scene of Galan Nord 'eroding' the extreme pasture. He whispered to himself: "Only extreme creatures must be the kind of completely transformed extreme creatures at their core. The most complete information on extreme viruses. As long as we have this first prototype, at least we can try to decipher it and create a vaccine for it."

This is the dangerous one of the "two plans" designated by the powerful Mycrofts - that is, going deep into the extreme virus-infected area, capturing an extreme creature, and then deciphering the root of the extreme virus while maintaining the other party's activity. information, and then create a vaccine!

Garan Nord and Godar, as rare 'biological experts' in the Mycroft civilization, naturally became the core of the plan, whether it was the Seven Gods Pope Eagle or the legendary Archmage Baba Rosa and others were there to protect them and clean up other dangerous extreme creatures that might exist in the surrounding world. Of course, even they did not expect that so many extreme creatures could pop up in just a marginal star field.

Of course, if they knew that more than 700 extreme creatures appeared in the Amos Royal Court in the bloody battle of the galaxy just as soon as the plague broke out, they would definitely be lucky that there are creatures that meet the conditions of extreme viruses in the surrounding star field. rare.

In the plan, the natural teacher Garan Nord is responsible for directly extracting the original extreme virus, and using his own body as a petri dish, using the legendary power to analyze the mutation and infection process of the extreme virus in real time, and try to weaken and detoxify it, and finally Deconstruct the cultured weakened extreme virus and completely separate it into its most basic design. Godard, the fish-man high priest, assisted the former to recover after the former failed, and through another set of high-speed evolutionary processes, forced the extreme virus to reproduce a weaker daughter by coincidence, and then repeated the first stage. work, and then began to crack it layer by layer.

Only in this way can all extreme viruses and their derivatives be completely cracked, ensuring that individuals in the Mycroft civilization will not be infected.

"How's it going, Garanod, are you okay?"

Noting that the dark green veins of natural power have been deeply rooted into the core of Extreme Forage, even though he knew that because Extreme Forage is a plant type, it is very familiar and handy to Garan Nord, Godard couldn't help but ask: "If there is a problem, we will go back to the laboratory in the Void Base first, where the equipment is more complete!"

"Can't go back!"

You can hear the firm voice of the natural teacher: "I cannot bring this dangerous virus prototype to any area related to Mycroft's world. If something goes wrong, you and I will both be sinners of civilization!"

"As for whether it's possible... I can only say that it's difficult."

"It's very, very difficult."

When she said this, she could see that Garan Nord slowly closed her eyes. The functions of a huge part of her body were completely stopped, and all her energy was concentrated inside the extreme pasture, the initial extreme virus. You can hear a substantive spiritual message coming: "However, this does not mean 'impossible'."

At this moment, Extreme Forage has stopped struggling at all, because the natural array has completely controlled the opponent's body by slowly replacing its life-sustaining power. It can be said that the core part of Extreme Forage has been completely destroyed. The natural teacher was assimilated, leaving only the last spiritual remnant, which was attached to the extreme virus condensate in his body and was slowly studied by Garan Nord.

And Garan Nord didn't hold back at all. As mentioned before, she was using legendary power to lift the extraordinary power circle covering the outside of the extreme virus bit by bit at a microscopic level. ... This seemingly tiny virus is essentially an ultra-miniature composite array with an extremely complex structure and composed of various extraordinary powers. In a sense, it is not really a virus, but something like It is like a computer program, composed with extraordinary power. It is contagious like a computer virus and can spread its 'curse' at high speed through various methods.

In other words... inheritance!

"The puzzle is solved!"

For about ten hours, the scene underground has been like this, unchanged. After a long time, Galan Nord finally opened her eyes. The natural teacher's eyes were extremely bright. She raised her staff with joy on her face: "I understand the purpose of the 'Plague Spreader'!"

"Although the extreme virus does appear to be a virus and a plague - that's just the surface! It's just a negligible by-product of its true function! That's why it has such a high fatality rate and such abnormal contagiousness!"

"The essential purpose of creating its 'Plague Spreader' is to use extreme viruses to increase the number of similar species and leave a legacy - in other words, to leave heirs!"

It can be seen that the natural force array that bound the core of Extreme Forage suddenly shattered and turned into large areas of scattered energy mist deep underground, while the milky-white root entanglement that was completely covered with green roots remained motionless, completely controlled by the natural teacher. , and Garan Nord, who roughly deciphered the inheritance it received from the core of Extreme Forage and obtained the information left in the original Extreme Virus, turned his head and excitedly said to Godard beside him: "I have initially deciphered the extreme From the peripheral information of the virus, it can be basically determined that the creator and spreader of the extreme virus should want to do something very dangerous, and it can even be said that in its heart there is no life, and there is absolutely no 'future'!"

"But it has to do this, so before embarking on a desperate road, it has to 'give birth' or 'sow seeds'! To a certain extent, it can also be said to forcibly spread its 'inheritance'! "

"The so-called infection is actually the result of the extreme virus modifying the host to adapt to the inheritance it leaves behind - most of the dead individuals are due to insufficient quality, insufficient energy reserves, insufficient talent, and insufficient adaptability, so they are The 'failed products' are eliminated, and the failed products are naturally not worthy of inheriting the power of the 'Plague Spreader' and becoming his heir!"

"However, if you can adapt to the past and complete the most basic 'extremeization' by consuming a lot of energy, then the life that passes this step can reach the sky in one step and directly become the larvae of the special super life form of 'Plague Spreader'! And they got the inheritance specially left by the other party and engraved in the microscopic magic circle inside the extreme virus! In this way, after experiencing the death of rebirth, they completely got rid of their original identity and race and became the heirs of a powerful super life form! "

"No wonder some intelligent life forms are so abnormal after extreme biologicalization... However, this kind of inheritance also has its limitations. First of all, if it is an individual who has reached the ultimate intention, it will basically not be infected by it. If it has not reached the ultimate intention, its own quality will not be affected. And it may not be enough, leading to complete self-destruction, which is how the extreme lethality of the extreme plague appears."

When she said this, the natural teacher looked embarrassed and frowned slightly: "However, I haven't deciphered what the inheritance is specifically. Its encryption level is too high. The environment and tools here are not good... If I If you can use the magic network and the power of the entire civilization to crack it like Radcliffe, then the speed will definitely be much faster... "

"Wait a minute, Eydelil, you mean to say that this extreme virus is actually some kind of 'inheritance'?!"

After listening to a series of analyzes by the natural teacher, the fishman high priest was simply stunned. He looked up and looked out of the underground passage, where the maelstrom of wind was still sweeping the world. Godard's eyes seemed to be able to see the surrounding star field, because This legendary fishman really found it difficult to understand other colonial worlds that were completely turned into dead zones due to extreme plagues: "It killed hundreds of billions of people - in fact, in the multi-dimensional galaxy, this number can only be hundreds of times higher! But! Now you are telling me that the essence of this thing is not a curse or a plague, but a 'fertility activity' used by a powerful super life to create 'children'!?"

"indeed so."

Garan Nord replied in a serious tone. The Elf Archdruid narrowed her eyes and her pointed ears trembled slightly. She looked around, seeing the underground rock formations and lava fractures that were full of pits and depressions eroded by the extreme pasture. She spoke solemnly. Said: "The truth is often that simple. It's just that the super life doesn't care about the survival of ordinary life at all, just like we don't care about how many insects and bacteria will be killed by slash-and-burn farming and burning the woods... However, I have seen through it. Its essence, in about half a month, I will be able to completely decipher its source information, and then start trying to make a vaccine to completely block the impact of extreme viruses on intelligent life."

At this point, the natural instructor's tone was still a bit gratifying, with a hint of joy. After all, the plan was successful. They did capture an extreme creature and obtained information about the origin of the extreme virus. They also found out the real purpose behind this mysterious plague, which was to 'create inheritance and create heirs'.

"etc!"

But soon, Galan Nord's expression suddenly changed with a hint of joy: "That's not right!"

The staff in his hand dropped because the hand he was holding tightly loosened, and the natural teacher's originally calm face suddenly became panicked: "No! If all this is true... all the information I got from it is correct. !”

"If this is really some kind of super life, a legacy left by a powerful intelligent being, and a means of creating heirs, then it makes no sense that it can only spread through this method similar to a viral plague!"

This sentence immediately woke up Godard, who seemed to be a little relaxed because of the perfect completion of the task. The fishman high priest thought about it for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed: "No! You are right!"

"Plague infection is just the fastest way. That super life form doesn't care about the survival of other life forms at all, but that doesn't mean that it only uses this crude method... The carrier that can carry this kind of inheritance is really Too much!"

Maybe it's a ritual! Maybe it’s a heritage crystal! It might be a video, or... a text from a book! A song and sound spread out of thin air in the void!

Even randomly predicting certain things that exist in the distance, getting some enlightenment from them, randomly opening some time and space channels to the distance, causing some information clusters from other worlds to flow in... These may lead to an irreversible outbreak of plague!

As long as it contains enough information and can create a clear enough impression on the world, let alone a virus, even a microspace shock wave - just like those shielded by the Seven Gods and Radcliffe That would be enough to create complex enough information, create inheritance out of thin air, and then 'infect' other lives!

"What we have to guard against is definitely not just 'plague' and 'virus', but all unknown information related to the outside world!"

Looking at each other, Garan Nord and Godard came to the same conclusion at the same time. Their expressions were extremely solemn. Among them, the natural teacher said solemnly: "Mycroft headquarters must be notified."

"Even if the 'dangerous plan' has been successful, the 'stable plan' cannot be suspended! We must not relax our vigilance until this 'extreme plague' is completely stopped!"

Although, the conclusion is correct.

But it was too late.

As early as dozens of days ago, before the extreme plague appeared in the alien galaxy colony near Mycrov's world, a void exploration ship was urgently recalled by Mycrov's external exploration department to prevent it from exploring too deeply and being exposed to possible threats. Plague interferes and causes losses.

This exploration ship did not encounter a plague or a virus. Any records showed that it was very safe and everything was normal.

But even so, the External Exploration Department Headquarters still thoroughly disinfected the exploration ship from the inside out more than a dozen times before recalling it, and the exploration personnel stationed inside almost changed their bodies to ensure that there was absolutely no trace of anything. Possible dangers lurk.

After going through the ultimate disinfection process, which can almost be said to cost a person's life, the exploration ship was finally determined to be safe and introduced to a void base in a certain alien galaxy. The External Exploration Department began to extract the void exploration ship. The built-in database completes Mrs. Mike Rowe's multi-dimensional star map.

However, in this database, there is not only the geography and world distribution of multiple galaxies... but also a large number of exchanges with passing void civilizations, as well as knowledge of all special information, wave bands, and space-time turbulence in the void. Record.

And in that seemingly ordinary audio database... there is a powerful poison called 'inheritance' that cannot be discovered at all.

"Analyst Record No. 531, analysis operation is about to begin."

In the Jetrum Star Territory, the headquarters of the Mycroft Civilization's Void Base at the Multi-Galaxy Star Gate, an Elf Information Analyst methodically opened his work information terminal, brought up the light curtain, and started his daily homework— That is to say, analyze a large amount of seemingly meaningless information in the database and extract meaningful data from it, such as messages from some special worlds and void phenomena from afar, or some information that has drifted in the turbulence of time and space. Countless years of communication.

Today everything is as usual, nothing special. The temperature in the void base is comfortable, the breakfast is rich, and the nightlife yesterday was also very rich. Recalling the passion of those times, the consulting analyst smiled slightly - but this did not affect the work. He entered the secret key calmly, opened the database, and began to mobilize information and perform browsing and analysis operations.

"The time is March 29th, Year 848, Starfall. The analysis of the information database of the 'Morning Light Void Exploration Ship' began."
