Star Empire

"They are now under your control - now, they are missiles that belong to you. I will not control them. My target is too big and too obvious." As he said that, Weisruifan quietly pointed "above" .

"There is a special encapsulated force field. It is operating normally. It is very rare. It is very rare. Σ creations are in good condition and have not been eroded by the death tide... Wait, why do they do this...? Information annihilation missiles The black mist is indeed of strange nature, but it is limited after all..."

After muttering to himself for a while, Vidoville seemed to suddenly remember something. He carefully controlled himself and did not continue to think about "that aspect".

"It may be that this thing does have a special effect, but the effect of such a special effect is not directed at us. Of course, it may also be to send some kind of signal - for example, Σ civilization may still be preserved in some other form With a lot of "vital force"."

"...the second possibility..."

"It's not completely impossible." Weisrifan said softly, "The empire has been attacked by the Great Fault Zone more than once - we have also gained a lot of inspiration from it."

"...Although there are no specific and accurate values ​​​​that can be used to quantify the model, at least from the current data, the instantaneous destructive power of death tide pollution leaving the death tide field exceeds a certain intensity, or it is " "After the concentration reaches a certain level, its actual effect is more and more direct damage and destruction, rather than leading the pollutants to self-chaos and self-collapse..."

"Theoretically, at this time, the resistance of the information body that is self-consistent and strong enough to the death tide will increase. "That pile" of things in the endless eternal space can basically be regarded as the sum of the power that Σ can use, According to our observation records, it is unlikely that they will be "instantly killed"... Of course, it cannot be determined just like that. Our observation records are limited after all, and we cannot be sure of the specific situation at that time..."

"...Wait a minute, just think I'm overthinking it." Weisrifan shook his head, "Just keep these information annihilation missiles yourself."

"...Hmm." Vidoville nodded subconsciously, "Death Tide Impact, and these missiles... there are still too many mysteries in everything here. Regarding the missiles and this part of the operation, I will tell everyone later. Explained. And next... we should talk to that special individual."

"Kriz..." Weisrifan's eyes trembled slightly, "I'm afraid that for a long time after this, we won't have anything to truly "expect" for."

…

Void Fierce Sun outer ring defense circle.

Normally, not much attention would be focused here. But now, at this moment, in this huge circle of nothingness, there is a place that attracts the attention of many powerful beings.

Seven bubbles surround one bubble, and the bubbles are able to communicate with each other but are not directly connected to each other - for safety reasons.

And inside the bubble that is located in the center and is the focus of countless gazes, a "person" whose body is covered by flowing white light is floating in the clear darkness of nothingness. At this moment, he was quietly listening to the "narration" coming from the surrounding order field. He needed to sort out his experience and the information he needed to know. It seems that what happened in the past short period of time is much more than I imagined, and it is also much more important...

"...So, not long ago, I have reached complete maturity, and I have been able to exert all the characteristics and powers of the "narrative singularity"...as well as my classmates and the beings in the fleet... Basically, it can be regarded as "living together peacefully"?"

"Yes, your state is already in a stable stage. Next, your development will be controlled by your logic and reason, and will no longer be attributed to the development laws of the void. After you matured, you immediately protected the fleet and all Life, this approach prevents them from being severely damaged by Σ creation during the defense vacuum period - they can all recover, it just takes longer or shorter time."

"Great..." Kriz took a few deep "breaths" to relieve his tension and excitement. Then, he cheered up and said seriously: "Then... are we going to talk about something... 'about me'?"

"Yes - I'm glad you take it so seriously."

As the words fell, seven figures appeared in front of Kriz.

"??!" Facing these figures, Kriz was surprised - their silhouettes were very clear, but their identities were at the deepest part of the mist. Even now, he seemed to have no way to do it. Looking through these "fogs", I am afraid that they have extremely powerful information shielding capabilities and extremely wide coverage. Their depth and protective significance are already comparable to the "Order Correction Wide Area Fusion Field" that I have faced directly.

"Let's get straight to the point. xs4028, Davox Kryze. We can stand on the standpoint of the entire empire and practice the will of the empire in the name of the empire." The calm and unquestionable voice was deep in Kryze's mind. A voice sounded, "Under this prerequisite, we hope that you can join the empire."

"...join...the empire?" Kriz felt a little confused. After waiting for a while and making sure that "they" had given him the right to speak, he asked with some confusion: "Uh... I don’t quite understand…am I not joining the empire now?”

"This has two meanings - first, the individual accepted by the empire system is Davox Kryze with the unique identification number xs4028. This individual is an ordinary imperial life and not a narrative singularity. Although the current You can continue to operate in the empire by virtue of the continuation of your identity, but the current situation does not match the registration situation, and the relevant data needs to be refreshed. Second, the correct understanding of "joining the empire" here is to truly Begin to contribute to the Empire, to dedicate yourself to the Empire. This requires a very high level of authority to do, and the sacrifices required are enormous - far beyond anything you have ever endured as an individual."

"Ah..." Kriz felt a little dizzy. Although he had been warned about this possibility and was reminded that he needed to make plans in advance, he never expected that this issue would need to be faced so soon. Faced with - "Do I still have time to think about it again? I mean... I probably need to figure out more things."

"Of course, but we still hope you can accept our proposal - in fact, this road can be said to be the only one that can win-win."

"So...if that's the case, why are there so many other routes to choose from?" Kriz quickly noticed these parts after analyzing the information in front of him, "If the win-win result is If it’s so good, then there’s probably no need to leave so many other options, right?”

"Because the "win-win" route will form an obvious and huge discontinuity in the direction of your story - if you really choose to join the empire, then you need to endure the discomfort caused by this huge discontinuity."

"The most direct thing is that your original life trajectory will no longer exist. You need to say goodbye or even forget your past lifestyle, classmates and friends, and continue to live according to the lifestyle of high-level individuals in the empire - the difference between them is huge. "

"At the same time, your way of thinking also needs to make huge changes in a short period of time. You need to see and think about what you see and hear from the perspective of a high-authority individual and make appropriate decisions. These changes are likely to It’s accompanied by tremendous pain. The pain is enough to shock the mind and even twist the soul.”

"So, we try to control the activities of unstable variables and let these changes appear after you mature. At the same time, we never intend to use hard force to make you obey - that will plant more hidden dangers, It may even lead to the collapse of all the positive energy and positive power that the empire has accumulated over hundreds of millions of years."

"Well...if I agree, what will happen next?" Kriz asked the figures floating in front of him.

"The Empire has prepared the position and corresponding responsibilities that will be given to you. If you agree to join the Empire, you need to learn as soon as possible how to live as a high-authority individual and shoulder your responsibilities."

"Then...what if I refuse?" Kriz asked again.

"It depends on your attitude after refusing." Faced with this sharp question, Kriz found that the answers given by those figures did not have any hesitation or hesitation.

"If you reject the route we give but are not enemies of the Empire, then we will allow you to continue to exist within the Empire. But there is no doubt that you will still be unable to continue your previous life and experience. Your activities will be restricted. Monitor and control so that your power does not have too much impact on the Empire. And if you are an enemy of the Empire - we will gather our forces to destroy you."

"Don't be surprised - of course, your strength and ability should have helped you complete the story a long time ago. You should be able to see the whole story and figure out why." The new words struck a deep chord in Kriz's heart. at. "We hope for the best. But as administrators and rulers of the empire, we must also list the worst-case possibilities for everything and be as prepared as possible, even if those possibilities seem ridiculous. This is our responsibility."

“…How much of this actually happened earlier than it appeared? I mean…how much of it did you know about “earlier” and had planned?”

"Such content does exist, we cannot deny it - there are indeed lies in the situations I told you before, but they are not many. After all, no matter how rare an isolated case is, there are always some traces that can be attached to existing cases. You are special, you are rare, you are unique in billions of years, that’s true.”

"But as a narrative singularity, we are not completely ignorant of this. There are always some past plans that can be applied to the present. Considering your specific situation, we do not need to and cannot tell you everything directly about our plans. All plans, that’s irresponsible.”

"Then the next time is for you - think carefully and then make a decision. (hidden)\u0026amp;amp;lt;However, we must also tell you that if you decide to join the empire, you may need to go to the interview There are many dangers that you don't need to respond to because your decision will make you more responsible\u0026amp;amp;gt;(hidden). Once you make the decision, don't have any more I regretted it.”

As soon as the words fell, the seven figures in front of Kriz disappeared. The space within the Order Field returned to quiet, clear darkness, as if they had never been there.

"Think about it..." Kriz fell into deep thought. He soon discovered that by "thinking it over" "they" meant much more than allowing themselves to judge based on current information. The meaning behind the words seems to be... to convince myself to agree with the decision I made.

As for why you need to convince yourself...

The accretion disk of the narrative singularity absorbs information in the void. This alienated humanoid body of my own... is composed of an unimaginable amount of nihilistic information that has been floating in the void for hundreds of millions of years. In this information, there are too many stories, real or imaginary.

These stories are diverse and may record a study, a quarrel, an outbreak of disagreement, a war or even a destruction. Countless stories merge together to form a powerful singularity that can drive information activities, and this is myself. Although the stories integrated into one's own body will not "haunt" one's thoughts and perceptions like undead spirits or obsessions, as a part of one's own body, the feeling they bring to one's body cannot be deceived or concealed.

In one trillion years, countless things happened in the Star Empire. The empire fell from the peak of chaos to the bottom of the fragile abyss after waking up. In the process of climbing out of the abyss, natural disasters and man-made disasters, prosperity and glory, blood and tears and reflection, regression and progress...

This symphony of countless melodies has been playing. There cannot be only calm and harmonious notes, harsh noises and disordered rhythms are even commonplace.

And the emotions they can arouse are definitely not love or praise, but disgust, disgust, hatred, or even some kind of super-descriptive special understanding. Even data that can be accurately quantified cannot integrate such a result into a clear picture. explanation of. All of this, as the most basic structure, is written in his own body called "narrative singularity".

How would my own reason, logic, knowledge, body, and senses view the empire and all of this? What will the voice in your heart finally say? Will you choose to accept or reject?

Silence stretched the boundless sky.

Everyone is quietly waiting for the decision of the narrative singularity. As a person involved, Kriz did not notice that the "time scale" of his area was getting smaller and smaller.

"What do you think...he will choose?"

"No judgment."

"I'm confident he will follow our advice."

"What if he doesn't?"

"There's no need to feel sorry."
