"Fallen apostles are essentially a race born of various mistakes. They are facing a problem that no one has ever faced before," Father God leaned back on his seat, his thoughts drifting away, "Neither It belongs to the abyss and is an enemy of order."
"The situation is really so serious?" I feel incredible.
"Until ten minutes ago, I didn't think so much," Father God smiled slightly, "I have never directly asked about the fallen apostles, and I left it to the children. Therefore, I don't know much about them. In my impression, I confuse them with those regular mutants of the abyss, but now it seems that I should pay more attention to them. According to you, the fallen apostles are not Those crazy individuals who have completely mutated, they are still sane, and at the same time they are still affected by the abyss. The reason for this period is probably due to the strong vitality and self-purification ability of the Xiling apostle. Your psionic energy can constantly neutralize the abyss, but But it is not strong enough to annihilate it directly like the void, so the two forces continue to conflict, compromise and transform each other, and finally produce the unprecedented mutation of the fallen apostle. Now I am basically sure that they cannot survive in the gate of the abyss , nor can they survive in the world of absolute order... Well, this statement is wrong, they can survive in the world of order, but as time goes by, the world of order will eventually be transformed by them into a weird environment that conforms to their racial characteristics."
Father God paused, as if giving me time to understand these questions, and then continued, "You also mentioned that you have a group of abyssalized fleets under your command, and they are stationed independently, because they gather together to fight The surrounding environment has a certain influence, I guess this must be a passive phenomenon. And as their number of individuals increases and their density increases, this influence will become more and more obvious. In your empire, the number of abyssalized fleets is limited after all, and They have been more or less purified, so their influence will not cause any trouble. You can even ignore this small problem, but for the fallen apostle camp... They need a more distorted and chaotic world. They transform the world, At the same time, it also depends on that world, which is probably a process of mutual influence.”
"So...they need to create a new 'order' for themselves..." I kind of got it.
"If a race wants to survive and develop, it will transform its environment," the tone of the Father God is as unhurried as ever, "but all races that have appeared in the past, including the original race and the god race or those created by you , all belong to order-side creatures, no matter how they transform and adapt to the world, they at least follow the major premise of 'order', even if they destroy their own world, they do so in accordance with the rules of order, so the world It is still the world, and the existing templates and void quadrants will not be impacted by the activities of these races, but the Fallen Apostles are an unprecedented exception. Their requirements for the world are destined to exceed the limit that 'order' can tolerate. Any kind of world template is not suitable for the species of Fallen Apostles to survive, so as long as they are still developing, there must be... a template that meets their requirements, or even a void quadrant that meets their requirements."
I felt enlightened, but more deeply shocked: "Wait, if this hypothesis is true... They want to create a new world model in the void out of nothing? Or even a void quadrant?"
"The latter is very likely," Father God nodded, "I don't know if you have thought that the fallen apostles would never choose such a gentle strategy as 'reform the world one by one', because the existing world order There is a basic framework. If the fallen apostles were to transform one by one, it would inevitably cause huge damage to their basic framework. According to my guess, the life span of each universe in their territory should be extremely short. Orderly operation under the influence will consume this world hundreds of times, so their territory is probably the most unstable, and a large number of universes will die prematurely due to the influence of the fallen apostles at any time. They must change this situation, so they create a A world model that was born to blend with the abyss is very important."
"Is this... possible?"
"It's very difficult, I don't even know where to start, but if the fallen apostles have been studying this matter for tens of thousands of years, they may have found a way—the following are all my guesses, oh, of course, the above is also—I guess this Such a distorted world cannot rely on changing the template enough. All the parameters determined by the world template are within the framework of order. This is a tree structure. The world template is only at the middle level in this tree structure. The word 'complete control', on its upper layer... is the Void Quadrant. Only the Void Quadrant can determine some more fundamental things."
"So you speculate that they are going to attack the Void Quadrant?" I felt that I could hardly keep up with the rhythm of the Father God, "It is true...their great cause may be such a whimsical thing, they extract keys from various worlds Items, destroy the universe according to the order of the ritual, but we have never concluded any rules from it, because no one has thought of the ultimate goal of the fallen apostles to such a bizarre degree."
"Take action on the void quadrant, this 'strike' is good," Father God closed his eyes slightly, and pondered for a few seconds, "The difficulty of creating a void quadrant out of thin air is unimaginable, if I don't understand the nature of void Wrong, then only three people can do it."
I was shocked that there are such great people in the world: "Which three?!"
Father God silently glanced at me: "I made a mistake, now there are two and a half."
Me: "?" But soon I understood what was going on, in fact, just go straight to the Void Niu X ranking list, Father God (second brother) counts as one, Sheila (big sister) counts as one, and I count as half. Well, I'm afraid half is not counted, and it is probably a kind of psychological comfort to say two and a half. One thing is certain now, God the Father and King Huron... the strength is so powerful that one cannot directly look at it! The Void Quadrant... Could it be that the two masters drew it out for the convenience of assigning houses to households in those days when history is no longer testable
"Ahem, it's not that powerful. I just said it could be done, but I didn't really do it." Father God coughed dryly when he heard my guess, "I had such a grand plan with Sheila before, and then I Both of them felt that this matter was too full, so they didn't do it. I just want to make one point: it is impossible for ordinary races under void creatures to open up a void quadrant out of thin air. Absolutely, definitely, 100% 10,000, something impossible from the setting—”
Father God paused for three seconds, and added the second half of the sentence as if panting: "But there is a loophole."
Me: "..." Can you hold your breath and say it once
"This loophole is: ordinary races can start with the existing void quadrants. In this way, they bypass the restriction that 'ordinary races cannot create any products that are equivalent to the void', because they only do things to existing items created by the void Just a fix."
A flash of lightning flashed through my mind. If the inferences of God the Father are true from just now, then... what the grandsons of the fallen apostles are going to do is far beyond imagination!
"They are very likely to distort an existing void quadrant so that they can normally produce a universe that meets their requirements. From then on, more deformed worlds like the universe they live in will continue to appear in the void—but for For them, such a world is normal—and these deformed worlds will not be in danger of dying early. The ultimate goal of the fallen apostles is to take deformed individuals like themselves for granted, and they want to replace the order of the world, at least Replace the position of a void quadrant. But considering the expansion nature of the Apostle of the Spirit…”
"As long as one succeeds, they will start to distort every void quadrant..." I felt the forehead twitching, "During this process, the world that will be wiped out is not a single, not even a heap, but a quadrant." ! There are only more than twenty quadrants in the entire void!"
"So far, everything is deduction, isn't it?" Father God can still wear that kind of calm smile, and then scratched his hair with a silly smile, "Hey, how do you think we jumped all the way to On such a profound topic?"
I looked at Father God, a sense of powerlessness suddenly came to my heart, this calm attitude...
But this kind of exclamation only lasted for a few seconds, because I had to understand that the harmless appearance of Father God was unbelievable. Behind his kind smile like the second brother next door, there is hidden experience and wisdom that you will never be able to grasp. Perhaps the real ultimate wisdom should be the master in front of you. It is true that as he said, everything before was just speculation, but this guess is at least logically correct.
I have always overlooked one point: although the fallen apostles are ferocious, they are a race in the cracks. They reject order, but they cannot be accepted by the abyss. There is no place for them in the existing realm of the void. Deformities are in an intermediate state between order and chaos, and if they want to expand, develop, and even hold the "ambition" to bring the empire back to the apex of the void, they will inevitably spread their deformities to every corner of the void, and let them Aberrations become "axioms" in the void. So, what other act of death can be called "Daye" such a coquettish name than attacking the Void Quadrant
No wonder I didn't realize the "crack" state of the fallen apostles until now. After all, although the new empire now has a group of abyssalized troops, they are also very different from the pure fallen apostles. They are small in number, orderly, and are known Snow had purified it in batches once, and the racial characteristics of the fallen apostles had been almost neutralized on them, so that even Sandora didn't notice the fact that the fallen apostles were completely different from the Xiling apostles in terms of species essence.
"Even if these conjectures have a one-tenth chance of being true, we can't just sit idly by," Father God thought, "If they really have the ability to attack the Void Quadrant, then once their 'great cause' succeeds, I'm afraid it will be impossible for them to do so." It's really hard to deal with... Although the power of the Protoss is strong, the void is infinitely vast. When the deformed power spreads to the entire quadrant, even I can't control the situation. Now it seems that the timing of their "big cause" is really just right , you also know that in the hundreds of years from now, the gates of the abyss everywhere in the void have once again entered an active period, and the expedition of the gods is about to begin. In this way, taking advantage of the abyss activity cycle, they will solve a The biggest threat - I estimate that in their original plan, the Protoss was probably the only threat to their "great cause", and the appearance of the new empire should be unexpected by the Fallen Apostles. Let's see now, is this accident enough for you Their great careers are in vain."
I thought about it, and the core idea of these words should be: the Protoss can't be counted on.
Of course, there is nothing to complain about. The Protoss expedition cycle has been unshakable for hundreds of millions of years. They regularly wiped out the accumulated abyssal forces, and even many worlds regard the time when the Protoss expeditionary army passed by to make soy sauce as a perpetual calendar— As precise and timeless as Pandora's height. Therefore, the Protoss couldn't spare any manpower at this moment, and he had no temper at all. It’s just that I don’t have a temper. I still have a lot of regrets. Probably seeing my thoughts, the Father God spread his hands: “Of course, it seems that the threat of the fallen apostles is no less than the collective outbreak of the abyss, so I still We will try our best to prepare support. I hope you can try to hold back their footsteps, the further back, the better for us."
I shook my head and temporarily put aside the fallen apostle's nonsense: go home and talk to Sandora, she should have a longer-term perspective than me.
"What do you think about the civilization at the bottom of the abyss?"
This is also the indirect reason why we came here to meet Father God. At first, the Protoss found this cosmic wreckage with signs of deep diving because they learned about the fourth civilization. And Father God himself is also very concerned about the mysterious civilization that suddenly appeared. When I mentioned this, he nodded slightly: "Is the fourth civilization... You know, recently I also asked people to look up all the files that the Protoss has. At least in our records, this fourth civilization has never appeared, including signs of their existence, so it is basically certain that they have the ability to send messages to the world of order in the near future, and the first It was the old empire that received the information—but at that time, a series of extraordinary plans of the old empire had begun to be implemented. You also know that period of history, because there were endless disputes about those experiments. The relationship between the empires is a bit stiff, and…”
"And I'm afraid that the emperors of the empire at that time no longer revealed anything related to Project X to the Protoss. They didn't tell you about the Fourth Civilization." I said with some emotion, the biggest mistake Xiling Apostle has ever made , is to ignore the warnings of the Protoss and confidently study the void. Now it seems that this mistake has caused many chain effects. The fourth civilization appeared tens of thousands of years ago, but it was not blocked because of the isolation of information from the empire and the gods at that time. Father God learned that until the fall of the old empire, this has become a secret that has been hidden for tens of thousands of years-if the fourth civilization threatens the world of order, then we will undoubtedly lose the most precious opportunity.
"It's worthy of vigilance, but it's hard to say whether it's an enemy or a friend," Father God said slowly, "I was also taken aback when I heard from you that a powerful civilization that is about to break through from the abyss appeared in the world of order. , but after reading more information you sent, I think this civilization is actually a race of 'order', and the deepest part of the abyss will show an abnormally peaceful state, and the deeper you go, the more obvious this peaceful state is , then it is also possible that there is a world of order at the bottom of it. But I am a little worried whether their "order" is compatible with the "order" here. From the black shuttle in your hand, and the EN that I just learned today From the -166 sample, it can be seen that at least the substances in their world are 'incompatible' with us... "
I breathed a sigh of relief: "I can occasionally 'hear' voices from the other side, as if crossing channels, they seem to be very curious about the situation on our side, and at present, it seems that they have no more information than ours. Many. The detector technology of the Fourth Civilization is more advanced than that of the Empire, but I am afraid that it will not be able to reach the level of manned transgression for a long time. You said... Could this be related to the nature of void creatures? Can you hear it? "
Father God shrugged: "Of course I haven't heard of it, or I started to prepare tens of thousands of years ago. Void creatures are very strange. Although they are a race, each individual has completely different properties and abilities. We This rule was summed up a long time ago... "
I squinted at him: "Just you and the eldest sister, it is necessary to summarize the things that can be known by exchanging business cards?"
Father God: "... Isn't it high-end to say so, and I have been entangled with Sheila for a long time, and I seem to be a little influenced by her."
"For example, always emphasizing the population problem of the Void clan, and openly calling the chat between the two people the people's congress of the whole clan?"
Father God looked over seriously: "Do you dare not digress when you speak?"
I giggled, and was a little disappointed in my heart: It seems that I can't find experience from the two seniors if I can cross the stage to the bottom of the abyss. Having figured this out with my own experience, I might as well study what came first, the egg or the chicken.
Just as Father God and I were both in a daze... when we were in a state of thinking, a little girl's voice that was a little strange suddenly came from the side: "Dad!"
For various reasons, when I heard this word, I subconsciously wanted to agree. Fortunately, before I opened my mouth, I suddenly realized that it did not seem to be the voice of my own brat. The little girl with a lot of rice is not from her own family—it is from Father God's family.
Father God looked astonished: "Cyndia? Why are you here?"
The little girl raised her chest, and said openly, "I slipped out of the house! Because my mother is cooking today!" RS
