Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

——solar system——

Jupiter's orbit.

Io ‘Io’.

A strange, translucent cylindrical spacecraft less than a hundred meters in size was currently lurking in the crater of a huge dormant volcano on the surface of this extremely geologically active Jupiter satellite.

On the red satellite, which is almost completely covered by silicate lava, it is the interior of the dormant volcano that can be regarded as a safe and hidden place.

The cylindrical spaceship is like a crab roll in a hot pot, integrating itself with the boiling lava in the crater, quietly absorbing heat energy, and hiding itself within it.

And inside the spacecraft.

A huge human figure ten meters high was staring worriedly at the various feedback messages transmitted back from the light screen of the spacecraft.

Then he raised his hand and absentmindedly took a big mouthful of long, high-purity tungsten ore.

"...Everyone has completely lost contact."

Click. A crunching sound, with a slightly lazy and helpless tone, came from inside the spacecraft, from this humanoid being with a huge metal shell.

The whole body is composed of silver and black metal. He is an explorer from a distant galaxy, the only crew member and captain, the owner of the exploration ship "Feedback", and a member of the Cernostia civilization.

Tain Prophet was very troubled by his work at this time.

Because his mission has been very unsatisfactory from the beginning to now.

The universe is silent and dark. If an independent exploration ship wants to explore an unfamiliar realm after setting off, it may take more than ten years or even decades to wander.

Even though this time is not a long time for the Cernostians, for them, who are born with active personalities, love to fight and compare, compete with each other to win and lose, and are strong, the fact that they can endure lonely exploration alone is enough to prove There is something special about its 'soul'.

Even in the past golden age, there were many Cernostians who, in order to prove that they were indeed special, rushed to venture into the depths of the universe and explore, creating a pioneering and prosperous civilization.

However, the reason why Tain Prophet chose to become an explorer is different from that of most enthusiastic Cernostians.

Mainly because he is lazy.

Because he was too lazy to waste time with meaningless weaklings, compare his superiors and inferiors, and was too lazy to compete with his compatriots who were obviously over-enthusiastic, so he chose to go to a distant place and use the truly challenging things in the universe as the basis for honing himself.

——It sounds nice, but it’s actually just finding a place to entertain yourself and get some peace and quiet.

However, although there may be flaws in his character, Tain Prophet is not weak in strength.

‘Prophet’ refers to an individual with powerful exploration, prediction, guidance, and extremely excellent psychic abilities. Generally speaking, a professional prophet paired with a specific colonial warship can increase the accuracy of the jump, the cosmic energy fluctuations sensed, and even the strength to about dozens of times the normal state.

They can drive exploration ships, sail in the darkest and most dangerous corners of the universe, collect the most mysterious and strange information, and lead the future direction of civilization - hence the name prophet.

Tain Prophet is a powerful individual prophet in the entire Cernostian civilization. His powerful fourth-level spiritual power can even allow him to Before this jump, everyone instinctively had a premonition of whether the result of this jump would be good or bad, as well as certain consequences and details.

It is precisely because of this that he was able to accurately choose the only 'safe' area in this planetary system after hundreds of predictions, and jump to this planetary system that was considered a 'black restricted area' in the past. middle.

The fact that he was able to successfully jump into this dangerous galaxy without losing his way is enough to prove that Tain is extraordinary. If he successfully completes this mission and returns, this alone may be enough to win him glory.

But what happened next made him feel quite troubled.

That is, the exploration of the core planet of the 'Black Zone Forbidden Zone' has completely failed.

"The monitoring satellites - the fusion unit - the exploration nest - all have completely lost contact! Although it is only the lowest intensity covert detection, it is precisely because of this that they have the highest technical content and are the most difficult to detect. !”

Staring at the series of instructions that appeared on the screen, Tayin had to admit his complete failure: "On the third planet in the restricted area, there are indeed remnants of a certain advanced civilization in the past... With such a small amount of information, there is no way to prove my exploration. Results!"

The black area is forbidden, although it sounds difficult to understand. But to put it bluntly, in the past, all the areas in the Milky Way Galaxy where the "Galaxy Kingdom" could not find out the internal truth were the "Black Zone Forbidden Zones".

What exactly is going on inside, what creatures are there, what happened, and how it happened... No one knows.

The Celestians clung to the Holy Land, but never gave up exploring distant places. The Silent Age destroyed the connection between most of their civilization and caused the Celestian civilization to fall from its glory to dust, but it also turned all the former forbidden lands into normal.

If there is any time better than now to explore the restricted areas of the Black Zone, then the answer is never again.

There's never been a better time to explore these formerly forbidden places!

So, under the guidance of the Celestia Priests, a large number of exploration ships set off, and they flew towards dozens of dark forbidden places in the distant past, hoping to discover some truth from them.

Although most of the explorations failed due to various reasons, in the end, there were still two most powerful prophets who successfully broke through the obstacles and found the truth in the two black restricted areas.

The first restricted area to be thoroughly explored is a fertile galaxy with huge blue stars, far more psychic crystal minerals than normal galaxies, and a variety of special strategic resources, which can be found everywhere like stones. .

And right where the first planet in this fertile galaxy is located, the exploration ship discovered the body of an ether dragon - this huge beast that could have dominated the galaxy in the past was coiled on the rocky planet closest to the star, and became this There are extremely huge ridges on the planet, like super mountains.

This etheric dragon, which could easily swallow stars and enter and leave stars, obviously died because of the loss of spiritual energy. It used to guard its home and swallow up all the spacecraft that tried to invade, but in the end it had no choice but to survive on its own. Quietly waiting for death on the nest.

The second forbidden area to be explored is a huge psychic singularity.

The strange galaxy-nebula structure constitutes an astronomical level of super natural spiritual energy patterns. This is due to the huge natural spiritual energy gathered from the nebula and stars, which opens the door to the subspace - and inside and outside the collapsed door, there are Countless wreckage of various types of exploration ships and fleets were piled together, even forming several small metal planets.

Today, the singularity is once again gradually taking shape and returning to its original form, but the exploration ships of the Celestia civilization have collected as much precious information as possible during this safe period.

Although only two restricted areas of the Black Zone were explored, these two brought huge harvests to the Celestia civilization, and the two prophets also received many honors.

Tai is lazy, but that doesn't mean he has no desire to fight. He believed that he was not inferior to the two explorers, and he also believed that he was enough to complete the exploration of the restricted area of ​​​​the black area.

This is what he used to think.

And now.

As the huge metal figure distressedly grabbed a few sticks of high-purity tungsten ore and put them into his mouth to chew, the trouble in the prophet's heart was almost written on his face that looked like an armored helmet.

This third planet in the solar system has super psychic reactions. The unknown psychic civilization above should indeed not be underestimated... But it has only been about four years since psychic civilization returned. Theoretically speaking, no matter how developed the psychic civilization was in the past, it is far from reaching its peak now.

As the technological peak of the Celestia civilization, the monitoring satellite itself is a living psychic life. It has the ability to shield almost all electromagnetic waves and psychic detection. If Tain did not have a special frequency dedicated to contact, then Celestia would The Rastians themselves had difficulty finding it.

However, who would have thought that before this monitoring satellite could send back much valuable information, it would be captured neatly by that unknown civilization?

"How on earth was it done?!"

This can't help Tayin not being shocked, because even the elder priests in the priesthood, with their current strength, would need a lot of effort to find a monitoring satellite that has been completely converted into a hidden form.

But the native on the third planet directly grabbed the satellite with just one blow from the beginning to the end. The implication behind that action was obvious, that is, he had already known the location of the satellite.

besides.

The 'fusion unit', which is supposed to be used to fuse and assimilate with local life, and explore unknown places from the perspective of local life, does not know what strange creature it has merged with. In addition to sending 'error' reports all the time, as well as various Apart from these worthless repetitive landscape images, I have done nothing in the past ten days.

Ah, it also often comes back with pictures of generic native plants, so what does that mean?

The most important thing is to coordinate the monitoring satellites and fusion units, and to produce more exploration and combat units.

It was destroyed even earlier than the above two.

Thinking of this, even Ta Yin, who was plain by nature, couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Because, the day after the Brood Seed landed on the third planet and expanded into an uninhabited area, it was completely destroyed by the local life on the third planet - and the images it transmitted before it was completely destroyed directly caused Tayin fell into complete confusion.

Because the one who killed it was not a ferocious beast, nor a powerful extraordinary individual... but an ordinary female individual on the third planet!

Even that individual, in terms of psychic strength and physique alone, may not be considered an 'adult'.

Because the brood is not fully mature, the information transmitted before death is lacking.

But even if he just watched the clip, Tayin knew very well that the ordinary female individual completely wiped out the brood using only her own strength, combat experience and superb spiritual power manipulation skills.

The whole process can only be described as relaxed and freehand.

"What the hell is this place? The civilization in this restricted area is too terrifying!"

"Are all minors in forbidden civilizations monsters?"

All in all, after receiving successive blows, Tayin's heart was simply shaken - he was worthy of being one of the highest psychic civilizations that could become a restricted area in the past. The recovery of the opponent's individual strength was really amazing.

If this continues, I'm afraid that in a few years, the opponent's strength will turn this galaxy into a restricted area again.

"That's all."

Now that the detection has failed, Tayin doesn't want to take the risk of getting closer.

Although the information collected so far is scattered, it is enough to prove that there is an extremely powerful super psychic civilization here.

Although this information is not enough to bring glory to Tayin, it is at least a gain - there is no need to risk one's life for things like work.

What's more, Tayin knew very well that this black domain civilization was not unfriendly to aliens like himself.

Based on the recent scanning of the entire planetary system, he knew very well that the fourth planet and the third planetary satellite in this solar system were literally filled with the remains of the exploration spacecraft of major civilizations. They were piled up together and even formed a Numerous towering metal mountains.

Although it is said that in terms of quantity, it is far inferior to the psychic singularity of the metal planet where the debris is piled up, but in terms of quality, it is not inferior to the other party.

From what Tayin could tell alone, there were many exploration ships from the 'Enterprise Alliance', 'Ascension Empire' and the 'Federation of All Nations', one of the former galactic nations. As for the ‘Holy Land Guards’, the Celestians also have a lot of their own exploration ships.

"This civilization had always stayed in this galaxy before the Silent Age. If it hadn't been like this, our family would have had another powerful competitor in the galaxy of the past."

Thinking about this, Tayin couldn't help but shake his head slightly: "If this civilization chooses to leave its homeland after experiencing the Silent Age and compete for the hegemony of this galaxy... then it may really be a powerful enemy for us."

With this thought in mind, Tain stretched out his hand, grabbed another handful of tungsten ore bars and put it into his mouth - this is a snack for most Cernostians, similar to French fries.

"Ah, I feel tired after eating." He said with emotion: "Since the mission has failed, I won't work today. Let's rest first."

After speaking, Tayin clapped his hands and called a group of grotesque flesh and blood servants to come and take away the strip of tungsten ore beside him.

In the 'Feedback', in addition to the Tain, there are many grotesque flesh-and-blood aggregates moving back and forth in this translucent cylindrical spacecraft, repairing and inspecting various parts of the spacecraft.

Those are the servants and tools of Celestia, the 'flesh servants' derived from their own bodies.

The real population of the Celestians is very small. They have no biological parents or relatives. They are all born directly from the "planet". They are an extraordinary racial civilization with long lifespans, all people are born extraordinary, and have strong vitality.

Every Celestian is a child of the Holy Land, just like all flesh-and-blood servants are their derivatives. This unique ecology allows them to control a battleship alone and sail alone in the starry sky.

Although it is now impossible to continue exploring the third planet, leaving like this is not in line with the professional ethics of a prophetic explorer. Tayin decided to collect some more information about this galaxy before leaving. Although it is not a credit, it can at least make him He seemed conscientious.

But, right now.

In the distance, around the orbit of Jupiter, a circle of obvious spiritual vibrations suddenly appeared.

The green-blue light was like a stone thrown into a calm lake. It turned into ripples, echoing in the dark universe and the orange-brown background of the gas giant planet.

Without any warning, Tayin was immediately startled by the sudden appearance of the jump precursor. He raised his head, and the spacecraft scanning equipment that was completely connected to his visual organs immediately started working, nervously scanning the star field.

"Has this black civilization discovered me?!"

It shouldn’t be!

Now, Tayin's heart is filled with disbelief - it is absolutely impossible to discover that he is located around the gas giant without on-the-spot investigation! And how big is an entire galaxy? Even if you scan with the most powerful outpost array, you will never be able to find him hiding in a hidden form!

Originally, Ta Yin planned to wait until this black domain civilization showed any unusual movement and showed its intention to find the spy in the dark before leaving this star domain... This was already a very cautious idea. After all, who could Do you think that the other party can directly locate your hiding place without any clues?

There wasn't much time left for Tayin to be shocked or think.

Circle after circle of blue concentric ripples emerged and spread. Soon, a small spacecraft less than a hundred meters long passed through the space and arrived at the other side of the universe.

The spaceship is in the shape of a blue teardrop and does not have any weapons or additional defense facilities. It looks very simple and does not even have any ability to fight back. It is as crude as a transport cabin rather than a spaceship battleship.

Seeing the appearance of this spaceship, Tain Prophet felt relieved.

"What, that's it?"

He thought it was funny at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he found it very reasonable: "That's right - this civilization has always been stationed around its home planet, and it had no motivation to develop any battleships and spacecraft... They should be in silence The research was started after the beginning of the era, so this progress is not considered slow at all.”

"Even, very fast."

However, no matter how fast he was, the structure of this spaceship, which was so simple that he could see through it at a glance, was far from being comparable to the Cernostian colony spacecraft.

Just in terms of the distance and speed of the jump, the gap is unimaginably large. When it comes to the large number of various functions, there is at least a few dozen generations of difference between the reproductive spacecraft and the opponent.

However, just when Tayin felt relieved.

But suddenly, he sensed a breath from the water-drop spaceship, which should have just completed its jump and was cooling its engine, so it was staying still.

An extremely familiar and extremely sacred... breath.

What exactly is this breath?

For a moment, Tayin fell into confusion and thinking.

But soon, as the blue water dropship started up again, he recalled the source of the smell.

"right!"

Opening his V-shaped observation organ, Tayin couldn't help but murmured: "Isn't this... the breath of the Milky Way Star?!"

Two years ago, just when Tayin and a group of people had also received the surname of 'Prophet', witnessed by the Galaxy Star, and received blessings from the entire group of priests and elders, he sensed the aura of the Galaxy Star and transferred it to him. Deeply etched in my heart.

Tain Prophet, who was born from the planet, is close to all minerals, metals and steels in the earth. His flesh and blood can derive the strongest armor, and he can also feed on all inorganic minerals.

With the knowledge passed down in his bloodline, he can identify the essence of all metals in the world. No matter how complex the ingredients of the alloy are, he can accurately distinguish each component.

But...Galaxy Star is different.

It is metal, but not metal. It is life, but not life.

Galaxy Star is the supreme steel of life, a holy thing that can activate metals, activate the earth, and even activate the 'planet'!

Even among the senior leaders of the Cernostians, only the most precious group of sacrificial elders can come into frequent contact with its aura, while ordinary prophets like Tain who are talented but have not yet advanced in merit and glory can , I am afraid that only the grand celebration once every fifty years can see and feel the breath of the Milky Way Star from a distance.

That's the taste engraved in the bones of all Cenostians!

but now……

However, Ta Yin sensed from that simple water drop ship that it was almost exactly the same as the Galaxy Star, with only a slightly different aura!

"Could it be that?!"

In an instant, Ta Yin's expression became completely solemn.

As a member of civilization, no matter how lazy he is, when faced with information about supreme holy objects such as the Galaxy Star, he must figure out what's going on no matter what!

"The priesthood must be notified!"

Without any hesitation, Tayin directly pressed the 'emergency notification' button on the Feedback, which was usually used to send the final message when the spacecraft was in danger, directly reporting it to the Council of Priests and Elders of Cernostia at the far end of time and space.

In just a moment, Tayin sent back all the news about the 'Galaxy Star' and the 'Forbidden Zone Civilization' through telekinesis.

——The center of the Milky Way and the shining area——

In the brightest star field in the universe, even the starry sky is not dark, but a hazy light white halo.

Countless stars shine, spreading their heat and brilliance to infinity.

In a planetary system with yellow main sequence stars.

A garden world that is quiet and peaceful, with suitable temperature and harmonious weather all the time.

The three priests and elders who have settled on this planet are currently practicing and meditating daily in a huge and towering temple transformed from a coastal mountain.

The average height of Cernostians exceeds twelve meters. After the end of the Silent Age, the tallest natural individuals can exceed fifty meters, so their buildings have always been very large and magnificent, not to mention that they are born with the ability to use their own flesh and blood The power to fuse various elements and materials between heaven and earth and then change the world is born to be the best architect.

The sides of the bodies of the three priests and elders are covered with soil, metal, gravel, and plant branches and leaves. These are all 'armors' derived from their flesh and blood. In addition to representing the differences in their spiritual paths, they can also It's some kind of natural exoskeleton.

The Cernostians' spiritual practice, apart from fighting among themselves, is meditation. As children conceived in the 'Holy Land', they are born with a special affinity for all things in the world. As long as they meditate to a certain level, they can gradually resonate with heaven and earth and enter a state of unity with heaven and earth.

The three elders of the Garden Planet have all reached the peak of the fourth energy level (command level), and are only one step away from entering the fifth energy level below immortality.

At this point, every meditation is a possible breakthrough and an opportunity to go further.

However, just when the three elders were about to gradually enter a meditative state with the help of the planet temple and resonate with the planet beneath them.

Suddenly, a spiritual wave that had already established an interconnected relationship with the 'temple' suddenly sounded.

"...what's the matter?"

Although he was disturbed, the leader of the elders, whose body was covered with mud and metal, was not angry. He slowly opened his six visual organs and sensed doubtfully: "It's an emergency notification from the feedback number - it It was not destroyed, but did it encounter something extremely important in the black zone restricted area?"

It wasn't just these three - there were dozens of less powerful priests and elders on several other planets who sensed this message and continued browsing in confusion.

But soon, all the priests were shocked, and then they exuded waves of 'astonishment' and 'disbelief'.

"Galaxy Star?!"

"The aura of the last third piece of holy relic...has it finally been found?!"

"So, apart from 'that place', the third sacred object that has never appeared is actually located in the restricted area of ​​​​the black area... We should have thought of it a long time ago!"

"Finally found!"

One after another, extremely exciting spiritual energy fluctuations, like the big hand of an invisible giant, stirred the spiritual energy of several planets and the heaven and earth into a whirlpool.

But soon, everything became calm as the soul of a leader who suppressed his excitement began to fluctuate.

"There is no need to be excited. Although the treasure that we have been looking for for hundreds of thousands of years is now in front of us, what we need now is to calm down."

"Fellow compatriots, let us enter the temple, work together, resonate with the holy land, and sense the breath of distant holy objects!"

The speaker obviously has a very high prestige. As soon as he spoke, the other priests all said yes, and then they all entered the temples on different planets.

Then, relying on the subspace psychic channels that had been laid out before the Silent Age, the power accumulated in various temples for thousands of years was condensed together.

Light spreads across the starry sky.

In the planetary system, temples built one after another in key parts of the planet shine with light. The huge power is connected with each other and carries the will of the elder priests.

Planet Temple Resonance.

Based on the connection of the Feedback, this huge power spans the distant time and space and is projected on the other side of time and space, on the small blue spaceship that is being watched by Tain Prophet!

For a moment, the invisible will seemed to turn into a giant eye floating in the void on the other side of the universe, staring at everything in front of it.

Even the small blue spacecraft suddenly stopped moving, as if it felt an inexplicable powerful force spying on itself.

There was a long period of silence and stagnation, and two waves carrying similar auras connected with each other.

Then……

【heresy! 】

Suddenly, all the priests opened their eyes - their eyes were filled with rage and indignation, and their old faces made of metal, clay and various materials showed an almost twisted 'hatred'.

The leader, who mobilized the power of the entire temple to detect the great elder on the other side of the distant stars, issued decisive orders in a solemn tone.

[That aura...the aura from the 'Evil God of the Other Realm'...Tain Prophet! The existence in front of you with the aura of 'Galaxy Star' is not our ally! 】

[But our mortal enemy, the real heretic! 】

[Catch him - destroy him! 】

——At this moment, in the orbit of Jupiter.

After orbiting for a long time, the blue drop-shaped spacecraft seemed to have finally discovered something.

"It turns out that here - hiding in the satellite's crust, you are really cautious."

Unaware that he was being accused of heresy by a group of old alien men who didn’t know where they came from, a young voice sounded happily among the stars: “But now, I have found you!”

So, at the moment Tayin was given the order, the 'Yueguang' turned and aimed in the direction of Io's moon 'Io'.

Then it picks up speed.

Turn into flowing light.

With incomparable speed, it flew towards the Cenostian exploration ship!

In fact, it’s only half a chapter, and there is still a long section left to be written...

But if I want to finish writing it, it will probably be postponed until tomorrow morning, so I will post half of it first.
