Chapter 52: The Year of Resurrection (From the Perspective of Other Civilizations)
The Void is larger and larger than the universe.
So.
The war in the Void will also be even greater.
In the year 109 of the Third Age, at the beginning of the year of revival, the home star of our hometown entered a harsh winter period away from the orbit of the stars with the orbit of the Father of the Sky, and our fleet, as it had done for hundreds of years, left this small galactic world in this unsuitable season and went to the void to cruise.
The Father of the Sky is the name of the gas giant planet orbiting the mother star, in the daytime of the native tundra, its pale blue figure can occupy all the sky, so it is revered as the father of the sky, and there are two habitable planets that also surround the father of the sky, which are affectionately called 'mother' and 'brother'.
Over the past thousands of years, when civilization was in its infancy, countless stories have unfolded around these stars, and our mother planet 'cradle' has been revolving around our father, mother, and satellite 'sister', and our race has grown quietly in the cradle.
The rise and fall of history is full of energy, time is also like in the narrative poem, quietly flies by in a blink of an eye, our civilization grows stronger, our horizons are expanded, we launch spaceships into the stars, explore the stars, we explore the boundaries of the world, and then enter the void, to the big stage of the world, of course, in thousands of years, we naturally have civil wars, strife, but we are one race after all, all contradictions dissipate with time, and we move forward hand in hand.
- We once thought that this was the new beginning of our civilization, and that the vast galaxy and future in the void were waiting for us to explore.
But reality tells us that this is our limit.
The world galaxy is not empty, in fact, it is full of all kinds of civilizations - because of the existence of extraordinary power and souls, there are more intelligent civilizations than we imagined, and every shining star is a prosperous life world, and in these worlds, are there races that have explored the mysteries of entering and exiting the void, and there are also existences like us that have just begun to set off, of course, powerful, much more powerful than us, void civilizations must also exist.
And always with malice.
They came, from the stars not far away, their warships were bigger and more advanced than ours, they had experienced more baptisms of war, they had discovered us, so they attacked, the heavy artillery fire and the attack of the special forces of the transcendent who could cross the void caused us heavy losses, we were defeated and retreated, we were oppressed back to the home world, we were oppressed back to the home galaxy, we were angry, but our fleet was a piece of scrap metal, even ' The sister's was also shattered by the powerful main artillery fire, and the wreckage scattered in orbit, forming a scattered asteroid ring - so we had to surrender and submit to their control.
The Kohias, as they are called, are a vast empire that occupies more than forty worlds and governs five vassal states, and our country is to be worshiped as suzerain, and our people are to hand over a quarter of their production, and our scientists, the transcendents, are called upon by them at will, and our fleets, although not disbanded, are subject to the control of the other side, and are engaged in all kinds of dangerous battles.
We don't allow colonization, we don't allow expansion, we don't allow exploration, we don't allow research that they don't allow to do, they destroy our culture, they try to transform our people and make us their exclusive miner race, but for a variety of reasons, this last step is always unsuccessful.
This is our luck, but it is also a kind of sorrow—is it not the saddest sorrow that intelligent beings can feel when all fate is in the hands of luck?
And just as our fleet was preparing for a routine tour of the surrounding void to see if they could pick up some rare void resources, their order came again: they detected that there was a great change in the nearby galaxy, a war was about to start, according to them, there were many civilizations, even several extremely powerful civilizations, ready to go and see the situation, and these beings might start contradictions and turn into a melee, and they might get some benefit from it.
Of course, the danger is always on us, and the advantage is on them, and this is the fate of the losers and vassals. However, even so, if we can pick up the wreckage of some advanced civilizations, we may be able to improve our technology and national strength a little...... This is a hard-won opportunity for progress, and we have no choice.
So the mighty fleet sailed through the void, and we bore the brunt of it, and the transcendents of the Kohia marched with the ships in their armor, bringing with them a dazzling magical light, and we also had a grasp of this brilliance, but our powerful transcendents would always be forcibly taken away by them, and never to return to our people, so that our inheritance became more and more scarce, and until now, it is difficult to improve.
We numbly galloped, leaped, we shuttled through the void, and came to the empty void between the galaxies, the time and space fluctuated gently, but it was not until we came here that we felt regret and fear—because this originally vast and empty area had been occupied by the reconnaissance ships and fleets of countless civilizations, and a huge fleet that was incomparably large enough to distort the galaxy was also moving.
It is the Knowledge Receiver, one of the most powerful civilizations in this multi-galaxy, who silently roam the sea of stars, passing through all the civilizations they are interested in, taking over all the knowledge they are interested in, and we should rejoice in our weakness and ignorance, because then they will not attack us, and the Receiver will not waste their energy on civilizations that have been identified as 'worthless'.
"We should retreat."
Soon, we sensed a new energy fluctuation, that is, even through countless stars, it was a terrifying fluctuation that made people tremble, the existence that came was undoubtedly incomparably powerful, and on the other side of the galaxy, a series of terrifying auras suddenly lit up, the knowledge receiver and these two auraes were three-legged, these incomparably powerful civilizations were facing each other across the void between the galaxies, there was no doubt that this was no longer an area where we weak beings could observe.
"Keep going!"
But the orders of the Kohians were still so brutal...... Interests, but we know what they think, and they guess that the confrontation between these three powerful civilizations is because the civilization that has set up a defensive array on the other side of the galaxy has discovered some secret treasure or extremely important ancient ruin—they want to know what treasures and relics are guarding behind it, and they are trying to get some benefit from it.
The greed of the Kohia people is not surprising, nor is it crazy, because in this galaxy, because of the discovery of secret treasures and ancient ruins, there are many rapidly growing civilizations, and their legends and stories even we know a little, and it is not strange that these Kohia people who know more are crazy about it, not to mention that it is we who take risks, not them, and they are naturally willing to be generous to others.
So we and the other vassals were forced to move on—we didn't clash head-on, but took a detour from the other side of the Void, after all, the area between the galaxy and the galaxy was so vast that it was not necessary to take the shortest and most convenient straight line to reach it...... And at this time, the war began.
We can't describe the grandeur of the fire—the first to attack were the fleets that had set up defensive lines on the other side of the galaxy, they were scarce in number, but their shapes were strange, and eight Void Behemoths as huge as a small world became their bulwark, and the world on the back of the Void Behemoth also began to slowly lift its shield, revealing the hideous fortress group of biomass behind it, from which countless small ships like plants took off, densely packed like a swarm of bees.
Then, there was the slaughter.
Most of the fleets that were watching, watching, or trying to bypass their direction like ours were destroyed in an instant, and not simply by exploding, we could see that the carapace ships in the distance were hit by a distorted mass of space, and then turned into a painting-like plane in an instant, and finally reduced to the finest dust under the correction of the void; We can see that the Lankmoi fleet has been largely destroyed in a rapid onslaught that cannot be seen with observation equipment, and the elements of annihilation have made them the brilliant fireworks of the void; We could see that shadows were spreading in the void, and all the ships that could not dodge could only sink in vain in the darkness after firing one or two main guns, and then be swallowed up into nothingness.
Particles of energy as bright as the sun rose from the flagships of those fleets, and they formed a circle in the void, tearing through time and space, as if they were summoning some huge machinery, and we could faintly see the hideous and beautiful scaly claws from behind the rift in time and space, and an extremely dangerous aura emanated from them.
The fleet of knowledge receivers is strong and powerful, their shields are connected as one, and after taking all the attacks, they also begin to fight back, sub-light flying energy particles and energy arcs tearing through time and space fill half of the void, we can only avoid it in a hurry, and even refuse the Kohia people's furious orders for the first time, and turn directly to flee.
And with us turned around and fled, there were countless other bystanders who were already watching, they fled in disarray, their flags drooping, the neat array full of holes, they seemed to face a nightmare, this is too unbelievable to even understand the means of attack, even if they pick up the wreckage, I am afraid it is a curse rather than a blessing.
Ships that were once powerful in our eyes have fallen, turning into smoke and dust, the flagships of the Tals have lost their brilliance, and their huge ring-shaped warships are now like doughnuts that have been eaten and are being torn apart in the void, and this Void Civilization Fleet that competes with the Kohians in this star field is fleeing with wails, leaving behind large fragments of mutilated warship wreckage, and we can receive their panicked hyperspace transmissions, which are full of panicked screams.
No matter what secret treasures, what relics, we can't get them, the Kohia people are too arrogant, we are just ants in the starry sky, how can we be mixed into the gladiatorial battle of giant beasts? Civilization without self-knowledge will eventually come to an end.
Just like the Kohians.
Most of the onlookers were cleansed, and the knowledge takeover and the unknown civilization on the other side did the same, they emptied the battlefield, and now they began to confront each other once more, launching tentative attacks and defenses, and the advancing metal galaxy also temporarily halted and began to build magnificent Void Fortresses - but just as the fish that slipped through the net will always exist, the Kohias and their dependents who did not flee with us actually passed through the dense network of fire on both sides, and survived the battle line of death.
They also seemed to know their own nebula, so without the slightest pause, they began to hurry, preparing to go to the depths of the galaxy to avoid the attack of these two terrifying civilization fleets, and we could hear the sound of weeping and rejoicing in the communication channel, and we could hear the gibberish prayers...... But the excitement was only temporary, and they thought they were out of range of both sides, but we knew very well that this was not the case.
Like falling into an ice cave. When the huge circle of magic circles tore through time and space, summoning the incomparably huge steel creation into the void, our hearts were cold, although now we don't know what it was used for, but there is no doubt that it is a weapon that a super civilization also needs to be treated with caution, and it is the crystallization of supreme technology.
It soon became clear to us that it was a flower, a flower forged of steel, not yet in full bloom, and it looked like an oval seed, covered with countless flexible living metal pipes like roots or veins, like veins made of metal, and these veins divided the whole seed into sixteen sectors, each divided by a transparent crystal layer.
And now, under the infusion of surging energy, this kind of seed began to 'bloom', and the metal sector that was thousands of meters long began to stretch, turning into a petal-like shape, and what was originally confined by these metal petals in the center was a huge mass of aetheric light that was constantly rotating, expanding and contracting, and after breaking free from the shackles of the metal petals, this light cluster began to project a ribbon-like light blue light around it, like a silver-blue flower showing its core.
It thus floated smoothly in the void, shrouded in a bright and soft band of pale blue light, and a thick aetheric glow rolled and coiled around it like a corona.
At the moment when the petals were in full bloom, we felt it, an incomparably dangerous gaze swept across the entire starry sky, he swept over us, and then ignored the weak us, but even so, even the feeling of being seen through the inside of the skeleton was still immersed in our souls, he stared indifferently at everything in the void, and then silently focused his gaze on the fleet of the Kohians.
Rays of light bloomed from the metal flowers, and pale blue aetheric glow pierced through the dark void and shone on the proud fleet of the Kosia.
And then they were gone—all of a sudden, completely gone.
The Kohian fleet is finished—
This fleet, which has a history of more than thousands of years, has conquered double-digit void civilizations, has plural vassals, and has won countless glory, this fleet that has been recorded and praised by thousands of history books, and has left many glorious victories and legends, is like dust in the sun, tears in the rain, quietly turned into nothing, and neither they, nor us, nor other civilizations that are quietly peeking at this scene in the distance, cannot understand all this.
How did they do it?
But now is not the time to wonder.
We're on the run.
Thousands of warships have been destroyed, the main fleet of the Kohia has been destroyed, and it is not surprising that these existences that have suppressed and conquered other civilizations by force, have such an end, but our hearts are stirred, because there are also our compatriots in that fleet, who were recruited by the Kohians, and reluctantly left behind the tundra homeland of their home planet, and became the minions of the Kohias, who have not returned to us for decades, centuries, but they are still our compatriots, and their deaths make our hearts grieve.
But now we can only flee in fear.
This is no longer a road that can be passed by 'luck', no longer a ring that can be watched by 'prudence', but a battlefield of decisive battles between advanced civilizations, we are lucky to survive, but only to escape death, to breathe on others, again and again - but this is the doomed end of weak civilizations, we do not hate, we just feel angry, backward will be beaten, we will be exploited, only this truth has always been engraved in our hearts.
But.
The main fleet of the Kothians is completely destroyed, but we are intact...... And the detachment of the Kosia had to suppress the other vassals and guard their vast territories and territories...... The war of super-civilizations may be our chance.
- Farewell, the past of enslavement.
We look back and look once again at the place where the fleet of our compatriots and the Kohians had disappeared.
The pale blue light still shone in the trail left in the void.
The silver, golden, and black fleets stood behind the colossal Void Behemoth, guarding the Great Flower of Steel—it was spinning in the Void, sixteen crystal-rimmed petals with a strange and dangerous glow.
We are longing, envious, curious and excited, looking at that powerful, 'light'.
Named 'Civilization', 'Radiance'.
- In this year, called the Year of Revival, the banner of the metal flower representing 'freedom' fluttered over the home planet, and we, the people of Obzel, finally broke free and were able to look at the stars as free.
