The Collection of The End

AD.2154.4.11——

Arcturus Space Station (), "Officers Club" Hotel.

Until Kaos Cloud finished washing and sat at the dining table, he still couldn't tell whether last night's "dream" was real or illusory.

That dream was fragmented and noisy, and it was obviously in the future. If he told others, the other party could only come to one conclusion: Colonel Claude's adopted son was worried about having a nightmare because he was going to a strange planet to become the governor. Explosive super weapon? This is very consistent with a little boy's fantasy about force.

But heck, he's not a "little boy"!

"[Your breakfast today is, omelettes, milk, bread, and grilled sausages,]" the hotel's android waiter placed the things it announced on the table one by one, took two steps back, bowed slightly, and continued in an electronically synthesized voice. : "[Mr. Claude specially ordered that you cannot leave any milk left.]"

"Has Lichtem come back?" Kaos paused as he spread jam on the bread.

"[Yes, but I left early this morning.]" the waiter replied.

"Then he-" Kaos closed his mouth midway through the question.

Maybe the adoptive father might tell Zhou something, but he would never say another word to an intelligent machine that serves a hotel.

Bionic humans are human-looking robots created after the beginning of the interstellar era in order to cope with a severe labor shortage. They are characterized by a ring-shaped data interface that cannot be concealed at the forehead and a data streamer in the pupil. It is said that if it is actively concealed That android will be destroyed directly.

But even so, there are still many people who refuse to accept them because of the "uncanny valley effect". The adoptive father is fine, but he just doesn't treat them as real people to chat with.

Regarding the previous topic, Kaos began to chew bread and think about it, which could make a [Great Old One] have nightmares, unless it was an [Outer God] who deliberately targeted it.

Therefore, he is not "Little Boy Kaos", but "Chaos".

After discovering that the new world was an interstellar era with extremely high technological levels, he was originally happy for a while to be able to travel freely to the stars, but he soon fell into a homeless situation.

What is the most popular thing in the high-tech era? Monitoring and recording, of course.

After any person's face clearly appears under the camera - it doesn't seem to be called this now -

The relevant computer - it doesn't seem to be called this now - can check this person's unclassified information, and based on this, send advertisements or greetings to his mobile phone - which is definitely not called this -.

As a person with no identity, no past, and no record of how he arrived in the current city, Chaos was undoubtedly excluded from any public facilities. Some shop owners and staff with a particularly strong sense of justice even It was simply unbelievable that he chose to call the police directly after he turned around and left.

Chaos, who did not believe in evil, kept changing his appearance and trying many things before he noticed this, which directly led to dozens of "suspicious people wearing yellow clothes, no records, and unable to tell their origins" appearing in the city in one day. .

In desperation, Chaos once tried to go fishing and rob some people who were robbing others in places with poor security, but he was depressingly discovered that humans now use a thing called "Star Coin", which is an intangible currency tied to a person's identity. A certain amount of credit currency, and grabbing this thing requires the consent of the other party?

Perhaps these "professionals" could circumvent this restriction through some small means, but Chaos, who had no identity or personal account, only ended up with some daily necessities that those people carried with them, which couldn't be worse.

Although it was true that I had not thought about showing off some of the power of the Old Ones, I did not dare to do so because I was afraid that [that person] would notice and just come over and slap him flat.

Just when he was desperately thinking about going to the wilderness to survive, he met his current adoptive father, Star Alliance Colonel, Rechtem Cloud.

At that time, Chaos was sheltering from the rain under the "bus stop sign" in the image of a little boy. The tall officer with blond hair and blue eyes and a typical Germanic face appeared. He squatted down in front of him and raised his hand to touch him. After pondering for two seconds, he asked the adjutant next to him: "Zhou, go through the adoption procedures."

Thinking about it now, it was probably his appearance as a street child and the same blond hair and blue eyes as Lichtem that slightly aroused the officer's sympathy, but the price was that he had to continue to remain an old ruler. This appearance gradually and subtly "grows up" according to human growth rules.

So milk is useless at all!

While Kaos was drinking milk, he began to think about other possibilities. The weight of the two speculations that the dream was "a prediction of the future" and "that thing had actually happened, but was 'retrospected'" changed. Got to be quite big.

The former doesn't matter, but in the case of the latter, "who" traced it back? He didn't remember that he had this ability.

Kaos turned his gaze to the steel jungle outside the window.

This is the Arcturus Space Station (), thirty-six light years away from the Earth, located behind the Lagrange point of the giant gas planet "Themis" in the Arcturus galaxy. It is where humans master the "mass effect" and open "Charon" The first deep space station built after the Mass Relay ().

It is five kilometers in diameter and has the shape of a Stanford donut. Construction started in 2151 and was completed in 2153. In addition to the full push of the Star Alliance, the astonishing speed is also facilitated by the large number of metal-rich asteroids surrounding it.

Although humans have not yet discovered signs of extraterrestrial life, the huge mass relay is obviously not a natural product. Therefore, in order to deal with the aliens that will inevitably be encountered, the Star Alliance decided to form and station the first fleet on this space station. Use it as a bridgehead to continue expanding to other galaxies.

In addition, the headquarters of the Star Alliance Naval Academy is also located here. Many talents who sensed the opportunity moved here and made it their home. After several years of development, it is now considered a quite prosperous space city. By the way, , just like this "Officers Club" hotel, because most of the facilities are used by the military, the name is also murderous.

This time Lichtem came here, originally just to witness the graduation of the first batch of students of the Naval Academy with other colleagues, but somehow he was promoted to the position of governor of a newly discovered colonial star, and in the future, that slightly... Planets that are barren and completely worthless will be bombed to pieces for no apparent reason.

Wait... It's worthless... Are those stupid octopus aliens coming for me? Because he noticed traces of the "old days" activities, he directly chose to destroy the star with one strike?

"Umm, cough, cough, cough!" Kaos choked on the milk.
