Star Empire

The awakened figure looked at his former body, at the huge soul transmission array set up in the starry sky, and then at the huge matrix composed of his 20 million new bodies in space. He knew that his The title may be changing from "He" to "They".

".I have seen it all, I know it all, and I understand it all." The bronze figure was silent for a long time before speaking.

"The next topic is a private matter between "us". I'm sorry, representatives from the Star Empire, it is not convenient to inform you of these contents for the time being. We will temporarily cut off the communication connection with you. On other channels, We will continue to stay in touch."

After both parties finally determined that the equipment for transmitting souls could work stably, the empire respected the choice of the Lambda civilization and cut off the relevant communication lines.

"Your Majesty, are you sure you can hold on?"

"Otherwise? It's almost here. Is there any need for you to ask me this question again?"

".According to the Empire's Dead Tide Contamination Isolation Safety Regulations——"

"Okay, okay, I was the one who made the regulations. This time I'm just going to take a look from the outside. Why don't I get close to you?"

"Wouldn't it be better if you said this earlier?"

"Hiss - I stayed there for almost a trillion years! Hey! Hey?! Tsk, it still hurts."

Just when Wheeler was about to express his dissatisfaction with the garrison commander who hung up his communication privately, the "hot" and "itching" sensation coming from all over his body pushed him directly back to his seat.

The pain and itching came from the wounds on his body. These wounds were carved out bit by bit by the death wave pollution when Wheeler was stationed in the core area of ​​the Black Gate Fortress. Since he had been focusing on fighting against the giant malicious meta-meme before, the pain caused by these scars had always been placed in a relatively secondary position. Now that the giant malevolent meta-meme has fallen, there is nothing left to help ignore the itch that has sunk into the deepest parts of your body.

Under his emperor's clothes, the skin that originally followed the imperial aesthetic was stained by the death tide and tattooed with strange and coquettish patterns. After experiencing the purification and irradiation of crystal energy and white matter, they turned into platinum gold. Although they are no longer polluting and will no longer destroy Wheeler's body, these lines carved by the death tide may not be erased in a short time.

Even if he has gone through numerous purifications, it will take a long time for the effects of the death tide pollution to gradually dissipate.

The destination was gradually approaching. The fleet in the void was divided into two parts. One part continued to the destination. After approaching the order field where the destination was located, the fleet quickly sank into the world of order. Experienced people can see it at a glance. It can be seen that most of the ships in this fleet are engineering ships. The other part directly formed a large-scale battle formation and stopped in the void.

In the center of the battle formation, a specially designed "Qingming Holy Seat" that was obviously different from the conventional version was being defended by the surrounding fleets - this was the ship of Marion Wheeler, the emperor of the 18th Sky Zone.

After the giant malevolent meta-meme finally fell, the power of the Empire returned to the Black Gate Order Field, returning to what was once the Empire's frontline battleground against the invisible enemy.

The silent war reaches its climax here before the real war breaks out. Nearly a trillion years of continuous fighting has caused serious damage to the Black Gate Fortress located here.

While the influence of the giant malicious metameme was still there, his pollution completely penetrated the place, and the entire structure of the fortress was riddled with holes by his indescribable power.

Now, the giant malevolent metameme has been destroyed, and his power and influence have been lost with his fall. After losing the corruption and erosion of the giant meme, the huge fortress that stood in the Gate of Death Tide and walked alone for hundreds of millions of years finally regained its original appearance - a look that had been severely distorted, damaged and ferocious. An appearance that is so terrifying that it is indescribable.

The three rings in the upper area have been fragmented into thousands of discontinuous arcs. In the early to mid-term after the establishment of the Black Gate Fortress, people in the upper area only needed to close the abnormal cabin sections to ensure safety, but As the giant malicious metameme sank and approached, security had to change from shutting down to blowing up.

There are a large number of twisted lines among the tens of millions of tracks in the middle area. They are repeated in a cycle of five. Many ancient rail trains that seem to have been abandoned for a long time are lying in a mess on those ferocious twisted tracks. , they seem to be wailing, but this wailing may have sounded many hundreds of billions of years ago, and by now, whatever happened in these orbits, they have passed away.

The deeper you go, the worse the remains of the fortress appear.

The footage captured by the reconnaissance plane showed that the lower area of ​​the Black Gate Fortress was dilapidated in appearance. You must know that the Black Gate Fortress stands within the Black Gate, and no matter how inert and safe the Black Gate is, it is still a gate of death tide, and its interior is still filled with death tide pollution. In dead tide pollution, a complete protection system may not guarantee safety, but it can at least ensure relative safety. In such an environment, a breach in a protection system is already a very serious problem, and at this time.

There are more than tens of millions of damaged spots in the entire lower area?

The reconnaissance plane further approached the largest main structure of the Black Gate Fortress. After splicing countless pictures together, people noticed that the lower area originally had seven death tide pollution guidance turrets. They were the life-saving weapons of the Black Gate Fortress. However, now , only four forts can still be seen, and the other three forts have long since disappeared, leaving jagged fractures, pointing alone to the safe boundary of the Black Gate.

While the external survey was achieving results, the engineering team inside the fortress encountered big trouble.

Countless traces of distortion turned the originally well-planned traffic channels of the fortress into a mess. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the survey, the engineering team tried countless methods. However, almost all the materials in the middle area had been destroyed. Completely rotten, they barely follow any of the instructions they should respond to quickly.

As a last resort, after obtaining permission, the engineering team could only continuously use naval guns and large amounts of white matter explosives to blast the deformed bulkheads and door leaves in turn, and then forcibly opened a temporary tunnel leading to the lower area and the core area. aisle.

"Oh my god. It's hard to imagine how the imperial beings who once decided to enter the Black Gate Fortress lived in such an environment for hundreds of billions of years?"

The last isolation door, which had been twisted into a shape similar to a starfish, was finally blown open, and the true internal scene of the lower area was exposed to everyone, although the results of the external survey had already given everyone onlookers a preliminary understanding. Be prepared, but the real scene is still too horrifying.

The original regular structure inside the fortress has completely disappeared, and deformed geometric rules have occupied every space inside the fortress.

All the passages and facilities look like they were first melted and then piled on top of each other. After they twitched and collided crazily a trillion times because of the mold, everything was frozen and finally thrown into the maelstrom. Made after grinding. From the maelstrom, the engineering team members found some seemingly very small tentacles and ferocious twisted limbs... They may have been the living bodies of the empire.

Even though the environment inside the facility was already so bad, the engineering team members still noticed that there were still some obvious, very strange and disgusting traces of decay evenly distributed in the completely messed up lower area - they were serial numbers The location of rooms, passages, and floors divisible by five.

"I can't imagine...the seniors who accidentally enter these areas...what will happen to them..."

As for the core area

Only a small piece of debris remains in the core area, which is the cabin where Marion Wheeler once commanded the operations of the fortress. Outside this cabin, all parts are lost.

"……Do not worry about it."

When everyone's hearts were filled with the serious damage caused by the early arrival of the fortress, and they were amazed at how the officers and soldiers who had been stationed here survived that terrible long night, those Black Gate veterans who had fought here, they My heart is relaxed at this time.

"The fortress is destroyed and can be rebuilt."

“But the indomitable spirit that flows from here lives on.”

Marion Wheeler's words came from his Qingming Holy Seat. These words were amplified by relay equipment and broadcast to every corner of the Black Gate Order Field.

"The giant malevolent metameme has fallen, and the new Blackgate Fortress will be rebuilt from the ruins. It will be given to those who truly need it."

"We all had regrets in our hearts, because this place has an excellent environment. This is the only inert death tide gate the empire has, but it is not an academic paradise."

"The Black Gate was wiped off the map for a long time, and during that time it was not among the scholars who studied the dead tide."

While Marion Wheeler was speaking, many magnificent figures sank from the void into the anchorage near the Black Gate Order Field to stand by.

They are ships of the abyss, and they carry enough materials to build a new Black Gate Fortress and allow this new fortress to stand in the face of the death tide for hundreds of millions of years.

This scene is very similar to the scene hundreds of billions of years ago, but the difference is that the Black Gate Order Field is no longer shrouded in inexplicable chaos and indescribable fear. Although the malice spraying from the Deathtide Gate still exists, it is no longer too dangerous for the Empire to touch. Even. It also reveals a little kindness.

The first batch of Imperial Arks that came here were very simple. Apart from the background material color and the Imperial emblem, they did not have any extraneous decorations.

And now, hundreds of billions of years later, when such a huge Ark fleet appears here again, the hulls of these ships have been engraved with gorgeous and gorgeous patterns.

Although the essential function of these lines is to enhance the performance of the ship, now it seems that they also look like the gorgeous robes worn by the victors when they parade in their hometown.

"Now, we will return it. Hopefully it can play the role it was meant to play, and hopefully this unique area of ​​dead tides can become an academic paradise for studying dead tides."

"Now, the empire has not lost to the giant meme, and in the future, the empire will not lose to the death tide! Returning to the Black Gate is just the first step for us to resume this unyielding resistance!"

".The body we control does not feel any obvious discomfort."

"Then, congratulations to you. You also have a certain degree of resistance to the death tide. This should be an additional result obtained after you have made great progress in the field of researching information. There is such a layer of resistance. For you, Exploring the void is vital to the future of civilization."

"Okay, thank you two Emperors of the Star Empire for your explanation."

"So, what is the matter with you? I think such an urgent meeting with the Supreme Head of State should not be used to exchange these things that are not too important, right?"

Faced with the chatter of the top memetic beings of the Lambda Civilization, Vidoville and Vesrivan felt more and more that this meeting seemed a bit strange - before, the empire assisted the Lambda Civilization Federation to remove the soul of Yorumu Leshang. Shortly after being transferred to a new body, the supreme rulers of the Lambda Civilization Union suddenly made a request to have equal dialogue with the empire.

The empire did not neglect this matter. The two nominal supreme rulers of the empire, Vidoville and Vesrifan, held this meeting with the memetic beings at the top of λ civilization. However, during the meeting, λ’s top modulus Because the beings seemed to be a bit evasive all the time, they talked about a lot of topics and said a lot of things, but these contents seemed insignificant to the two people from the empire.

"So, two emperors of the Star Empire, have we been able to show our sincerity to the empire?"

"Of course." Faced with such a seemingly strange question sent by the supreme being of Lambda Civilization, the Chief Flagship and Lieyang unanimously gave an affirmative answer.

"Well, now that we have shown our sincerity to the empire, we hope that you two can tell us on behalf of the entire empire-"

"Why do you want to unite with us? In other words, why do you want to unite and protect many civilizations in the void?"
