From star abyss

[——I heard a strange sound from the other side of the universe. 】

Li Ozi slowly turned around and accepted the gravitational wave information emitted from various super large celestial bodies.

Listening to the sounds of celestial bodies is the hidden ability of [Echoer].

The most powerful thing about [Echoer] is that as an information bit, it can make up for the inability to achieve ultra-long-distance communication in the early stage, and it can detect abnormal signals from celestial bodies in a timely manner.

This is an advantage that other advanced professions do not have, but the debuff that prohibits the learning of extraordinary knowledge is too cheating, resulting in a very bad actual player experience.

Coupled with the passive effect of Sequence 77: [Disaster], Li Ozi could clearly detect the signs of an impending disaster.

With the combination of the two, Li Ozi's perception of the universe became extremely powerful. At this moment, he clearly heard an indescribable and strange sound coming from a certain nebula.

To say it was killing would be a bit too efficient. Billions of people all let out painful wails in an instant, one after another in the universe, which was very horrifying. But if it was a natural disaster, the gravitational waves contained signals from tens of thousands of well-organized armies, so it was clearly a man-made disaster.

A planet has fallen.

It was not a fall in the usual sense. Li Ozi felt that the planet was swallowed whole, digested, and integrated with something.

This technique was so familiar that Li Ozi immediately recognized the identity of the instigator.

"……【society】."

Li Ozi said in a deep voice:

"There is a planet-level civilization that was swallowed up by [society]."

He quietly felt that gravitational waves kept bringing news.

"No, this momentum... I'm afraid there are more than one."

Li Ozi looked solemn.

"At the same time, it seems that other civilizations were eroded by [society]."

Li Ozi looked at Flana:

"Open the star map, I feel something is wrong!"

Flora quickly unfolded the star map, and Li Ozi stepped forward and determined the area of ​​the signal source based on the gravitational wave positioning.

"The Sogto Civilization of the "Emperor of Heroes" - Gerringe Nebula - Star Murphys - well, the signal is quite clear. The "Empire of Heroes" directly retaliated and will be expelled immediately. "

"Huating Constellation - Unrecognized Planetary Civilization - Planet PT102 - It's so miserable, it was swallowed up all at once, without any resistance."

"In addition to these two, there is another place that has been eroded by [society]. The Boleria Super Galaxy Cluster newly acquired by the "United Group", the planet D-61-77, should be developed by Red King's followers. It's not a serious religious planet. It's still invading, but the speed is very slow. Sooner or later it will be driven away. "

Li Ozi felt relieved a little, this was not a big event.

[Society] does not hunt regularly, but occasionally infiltrates the civilizations it likes on a whim.

The problem is not that big, except for planetary civilizations that are too weak and have no diplomatic relations with the universe. These other civilizations are all affiliates, franchises or cooperative relationships with narrative-level civilizations, so there is basically no need to worry.

Although the Interstellar Alliance is most of the time a place where narrative-level civilizations bicker and argue, for weak civilizations, it is also the most reliable and only person they can rely on.

If you can enter the Interstellar Alliance, you don’t have to be too afraid that [society] will infiltrate, not to mention that [society] does not succeed every time. For example, sometimes if it penetrates for a hundred years, the civilization will enter a nuclear war and fall apart, and [society] will naturally Gone far away.

"And this, the harm is not serious yet. It is probably just that the main body of [society] passed by in a flash, and some legislators and citizens were let go. It is probably a widespread trick..."

As soon as Li Ozi finished speaking, he noticed the name of this planet:

"Galaxy Eye Frontier-Crystal Civilization-White Candle Star."

——Isn’t that my university?

If it weren't for his headlessness, Li Ozi would really feel like his eyelids were twitching.

Half of his family business is still on hold in White Candle Star. Who knew that [society] would actually be eyeing this place.

Fortunately, he changed jobs quickly enough and noticed this problem in time.

The current situation is not serious... He just happened to clean it up together when he got back.

"Uh, what happened? Although you have no brain, I always feel that you are not in a good mood..."

Flora asked confused.

"It's probably because [society] people have begun to invade civilization, and narrative-level civilization has launched a counterattack process. It's not a big problem."

Li Ozi estimated that the one most likely to invade the White Candle Star should be the [Machine Realm Society] Mashgar Gang, because it is active in the star field around the Milky Way Eye all year round.

[Society] In addition to dividing large, medium and small intervals according to the size of the body, there is also a relatively clear functional positioning classification.

Generally speaking, there are three types of [society]:

Predators - This type of [society] is often powerful in nature, and the speaker is particularly powerful, but they are not very good at hiding their traces. When invading civilization, they will use methods similar to 'island hopping tactics' to order their 'citizens' When the time is right, let the main body descend in person, and use the overwhelming advantage of the main body to attack and devour the civilization.

Predators are the absolute overlords of [society], standing at the top of the food chain in the entire galaxy. They often attack weak [society] out of fun and eat them alive.

But generally speaking, because predators [society] have obvious stature and terrible destructive power, the stronger the vigilance of civilization, the 'citizens' of predators can basically be found in the early stages of penetration, but the harm will be less. horrible.

Lurker - The latent [society] has a small body, but its hiding ability is extremely powerful, and no one can discover the location of the body. The speaker's strength is not outstanding, and he relies heavily on the number of 'citizens'. At the same time, he focuses on infiltrating and usurping control of civilization. Finally, he manifests himself, constantly absorbing the nutrients of civilization, and the water flows slowly.

There are a huge number of such societies, and they are also the way to survive for relatively common small [society].

It is actually difficult for most civilizations to resist this type of lurker, but then again, once the lurker's 'citizen' infiltration is discovered early, it is still easy to fight off the lurker.

As for the body of the lurker, it often becomes food for predators who fail to infiltrate.

Parasites - This type of [society] has relatively mediocre stealth and combat capabilities, but is often extremely large and loose in size. They often parasitize civilizations in the form of 'cultural memes' and grow together with civilization.

Although it sounds good at first glance, it seems that civilization is still profitable.

However, most of the time, the cultural meme of the parasite has an absolutely strong position. The longer time goes on, the harder it is for civilization to give up its dependence on the parasitic [society]. In the end, the entire civilization will exist in name only and become a parasitic [society] completely. ] blood pack.

Among these three kinds of [society], parasites are the most abhorrent kind. For weak civilizations, they cannot resist the invasion of strong cultures. For powerful interstellar civilizations, they cannot use force to expel and stop [society]. 】Continuous parasitism.

Narrative-level civilization does have ways to deal with parasites, but it is also a method similar to that of a strong man cutting off his arm.

[Machine Realm Society] Mashige Gang is active in the Milky Way Eye area. It is considered a small and medium-sized [society] with outstanding achievements and strong strength.

The main reason is that there are not many predator-type [society] in this abyss, and its terrifying figure can easily attract discovery, so it is relatively famous.

Combined with Li Ozi's memory, Mash Gegun has records of devouring planetary civilizations in the eye of the galaxy, so the possibility is very high.

However, it cannot be ruled out that they are lurkers like [Fake Society] who focus too much on penetration and have very weak combat effectiveness.

The possibility of parasites is unlikely, because parasites are not easy to find, and they are not easy to remove. When removed, they will cause internal chaos, and there is nothing you can do about it.

The most important thing is... the parasite society is really unhappy in a civilization of a single nation like the Crystal Tower. The Crystal Tower is a purely magical civilization, or is materialism supreme. A single nation coupled with war has made nationalism high. It’s so overwhelming that they don’t recognize any foreign culture.

Flora's understanding of [Society] was limited to the stereotype of predators, and she was a little scared:

"Saint Ancestor Ymir...[Society] is invading, shall we go back?"

"Don't go back yet." Li Ozi shook his head: "Change the route. Let's go to the Vanrenkov Autonomous State."

"The mercenary city-state is not too far away."

Flora nodded, immediately sat back in the driving position, modified the coordinates, and controlled the spacecraft to change the destination.

[Society actually dares to take action against my goal. It’s a beautiful idea. 】

For Li Ozi, White Candle Star is his treasure. From the beginning, he planned to use it as a center to help his players continue to advance into the universe.

The teleportation node of White Candle Star is so convenient, it is completely prepared for players to perfectly enter the universe.

Not only that, it is an important town for education. Li Aozi can recruit many high-quality talents here. After players undergo education and study, it will also become a high-quality source of soldiers and even his smuggling port.

How is it attacking White Candle Star? That's basically tampering with Li Ozi's little treasury!

There was still plenty of time, so Li Ozi immediately went to complete the side mission with a heart, and after receiving the [Class Promotion Ticket], he returned to the court in a Delta-level posture.

As for his sudden change in attitude and strength, Li Aozi made a decisive choice after weighing it.

"I'm sorry, Qiu Ran, I can't go to college again."

If his identity is exposed, the worst he can do is to directly nourish the Qunying Empire, but with White Candle Star's resources and geographical location, it is impossible for him to let it go.

The White Candle Star should still have the Kapa Order in charge now, but Li Ozi remembers that in a few years, the Kapa Order will be transferred to participate in the cruel Galaxy Eye Meat Grinder, where the Crystal Tower Civilization and the Night Butterfly Federation will pass. After the war, everything declined, and they had to join the Interstellar Alliance, hand over the bureaucrats and officers who violated the convention, and then be severely scratched by the narrative-level civilization.

The two civilizations that originally had hopes of advancing to the star cluster level ended up being reduced to third-rate regimes and interstellar rats because of one planet. Everyone in the universe knew their crimes and despised them.

The Crystal Tower civilization is relatively good. They know how to reflect on their crimes and erect monuments. In addition, they are a materialistic civilization and can get along well in the universe.

The Night Butterfly Federation has completely given up on itself. In version 13.7, someone seems to have spread the news that the Night Butterfly Federation has been corrupted by society. If Li Ozi had not traveled through time, he would have soon seen this sinful war criminal civilization completely turned into a monster's puppet.

Taking this opportunity, Li Aozi also prepared to do something.

Send gravitational wave signals to the Blue Star civilization.

Lord Entropy can easily block all electromagnetic wave communications through the disordered and entropy-increasing evil clouds. However, the energy of gravitational waves will not be lost and can directly penetrate through and be received by the Azure Star.

However, Azure Star does not have a few gravitational wave antennas. The few remaining antennas are relatively hidden and basically sealed.

Unfortunately, Li Ozi really knew that one of the antennas was still in use. It's just the location and ownership that makes it a little bit special.
