Chapter 172: The Current State of the Planet III

While the Infinite Apostles discussed their next actions in the Spiritual Connection, the human convoy rescued by the six did not stop to explain the situation on the planet. Although Xunxin and the others have used various scanning methods to understand the situation of the whole world more than the aborigines present, the analysis of what happened after the appearance of the annihilation body still gave Xunxin and the others a lot of useful information.

"Originally, we thought that the mutated humans would be eliminated soon, and both society and the planet would be restored to what it used to be. But what we didn't expect, or what we neglected, was that those animals and plants had undergone a large number of mutations. Unlike the mutated humans, the mutated plants and animals still have intelligence, but their habits are very different from those they once were. The giant insects you killed before were nothing more than a swarm of ants the size of our fingers, but now they are feared killers. ”

"Wait, you're saying that these mutated creatures are still sapient?!" was listening to Wang Qiang's brief description, Xun Xin suddenly realized that there was something unexpected by him, and hurriedly interrupted Wang Qiang, who was talking about Xingtou.

"yes? Our researchers also have a proven track record of successfully domesticating mutant organisms. How? Is there anything out of the ordinary? ”

"Well, well, it's nothing, just go on, I'm just a little surprised that the mutated creatures still have their own consciousness." Despite all the rhetoric, the people in the psychic connection network are already discussing this unusual situation.

'Those mutated creatures...... Isn't it controlled by the annihilation body......' Xunxin immediately used his mental power to scan the corpses of the fallen rock insects around him, especially on their brains. Sure enough, as Wang Qiang said, there was no trace of the erosion of the annihilation body at all.

'Seeking the heart, have you found anything?' Rao had never encountered anything like this, and immediately asked what was going on after seeing Heartseeker's face change. And the other members of the team also had the same question, after all, among the Infinite Apostles present, only the Seeking Heart had the widest range of knowledge and the highest level of strength. After a little sorting out the information obtained, the mental power of the Mind Seeker returned to the star core again, and this time, the Mind Seeking changed the target to the search for an individual with consciousness. Almost instantly, the heart seeker realized that in the star core, there was an almost exhausted consciousness that controlled the operation of the entire planet.

‘…… I see...... I understand. Heart-seeking fingers crept to the ground. 'The mutated creatures don't come from the hands of the Annihilators, at least most of them aren't...... I'll give you an example, you can pretty much understand. Mankind...... Well, there is also a unicorn in the body has its own immune system, when there is a pathogen that invades the body from the outside world, the immune system will automatically kill it to ensure the normal operation of the body. In fact, the planet itself has a similar immune system to ensure its proper functioning, and it should be said that everything on the planet is part of the planet's immune system. And when the planet encounters pathogens that cannot be solved by normal immune methods, the so-called doomsday comes, and many of the ice ages are caused by the action of the planet's immune system. ’

'Your Excellency, according to you, the diffuse consciousness annihilation is a pathogen for the planet itself, is that true? ’

'Yes, and it's a terminal illness that can't be cured. This planet is probably also aware of this, and has used its own power to affect the creatures that inhabit the planet, so that their individual abilities have been unprecedentedly enhanced, and they can cause effective damage to the diffuse consciousness annihilation. Even if the planet tried everything to stop the extinction of the diffuse consciousness, all that could be achieved would be enough for the planet to survive for a while longer. ’

'Nothing more. The voice that came from the spiritual connection suddenly changed to a relaxed tone. The planet's actions have bought us enough time to come, otherwise the planet will be absorbed by the annihilation before we can get rid of it and come here. And now, we still have plenty of time to understand the situation of the annihilation. ’

'This planet has really done everything to survive......

Therefore, we Infinite Apostles are precisely to prevent the destruction of the planet, the universe, and the world, and save their existence, Kirito. As infinite apostles, we are in many ways no longer able to drive our bodies in the way of ordinary beings. The first thing we should consider is the stability and development of the world, and we should not cause even greater disasters because of temporary intolerance. It seems that seeing through Kirito's unbearable attack on the planet that nurtures so many lives, Seeking Heart alone explains to Kirito what the Infinite Apostle should pay attention to.

'So, do we have to kill a life that is completely unwitting?!' This kind of thing is really what the Infinite Apostles need to do?! ’

No, but we don't have a better choice. Without waiting for Kirito to finish speaking, Xun Xin stopped Kirito, and attacked hundreds of millions of lives, as long as there is the nature of a living body, he will not take this kind of thing as a common thing anyway.

'We can clearly put life on the planet in a starship, take them to another planet where life may be born, and use the colony ship to rearrange the environment on the planet so that these people can develop on other planets again. Isn't it far better to do that than to send them to samsara? ’

‘…… It would be nice if it was really that simple to wipe out the diffuse annihilation. Presumably, Kirito, you only learned some information about diffuse consciousness annihilation from other infinite apostles, and you haven't personally solved this type of consciousness annihilation, have you? After getting Kirito's acquiescence, Seeking Heart continued.

First of all, trying to get rid of the entire planet from the uninfected is a problem. After all, there were only six of us in the Infinite Apostles present, and as for summoning the other Infinite Apostles to help...... With the current state of the Infinite Heart, it is almost impossible to do so. In addition, even if we were to save all of these people, it would be devastating for them to see so much technology and magic that they had never seen before, and to see first-hand the power of nature that we can easily alter on a new planet. Their society, even with our regulation, is unlikely to return to what it once was. Moreover, we cannot supervise these beings from other planets forever, and once we leave, it will only cause a riot in the whole society. ’

'Is that better than watching them destroy?' ’

And that's just an optimistic view. Diffuse consciousness annihilation is not an easy thing to get rid of. If the diffuse consciousness annihilation infiltrates the core of the starship and controls the starship to run wild on the way to transport the survivors, even we will be threatened. Absorbing a starship's annihilator is enough to grow to the point of becoming a threat to the surrounding planets. If it's just because of our temporary intolerance that other innocent planets are destroyed, you can compare the tens of millions of lives left on this planet with the loss of several planets, how should this be trade-off! ’

The voice in the spiritual connection suddenly became quieter, and the original message to Kirito, who was just a separate message, turned to all the Infinite Apostles present, and for a few seconds, everyone was silent, perhaps thinking about how they should choose between the many planets and the tens of millions of humans left on their own safety and salvation planets.

So it's impossible to do this kind of thing perfectly. All we can do now is listen carefully to the information provided by the Aboriginal people in front of us, find out what we can do and then accomplish it......
