The world-devouring dragon

Galactic calendar 40K years, interstellar humanity has entered the 40th millennium.

"Humanity is finished."

Under the dim light, a man raised the wine bottle in his hand, took a swig, and finally threw the wine bottle heavily, and then said.

Under the flickering faint light, fine dust floated in the air. The man gasped, leaning weakly against the box, holding his head in his hands, and his whole body was filled with an aura of despair. The lights were on from time to time, making his figure disappear and appear.

Not far away from him, his companion was just silent, lying on the ground, adjusting the ancient machinery from time to time. Through this ancient machinery, various sounds sounded from it.

"We were born here, grew up here, and died here... We are not Americans, Europeans, Middle Easterners, Africans, East Asians, or even residents of any country on the planet. We are the children of Mars, we Live on this planet that is not oppressed, unite and forge ahead... We were born on this united planet, we love each other, people treat other people's children as their own children, and treat other people's parents as their own Parents...the fragmented earth is not our home, but a prison where humans oppress and humiliate each other..."

So said a passionate and magnetic voice, which inspired many cheers every time it spoke.

Through the background, you can vaguely tell that it was a public speech with a large number of people, and many voices gathered around the magnetic voice. Those cheers and shouts, loud applause, screams, salutes, and many noisy voices are celebrating their own happiness in their own way.

The companion listened silently. He listened very seriously and attentively, but there was no change in his face. But after listening, he adjusted silently, and then an excited girl's voice sounded again.

"We are human beings, and we are self-proclaimed noble and rational human beings. How can the wisdom we are proud of be used for forging swords? From here, a great country will be born, whether it is people on earth, Mars, or the moon. Human beings, asteroid people, and even all human beings in the vast void, will embrace each other and cheer for us to put down our swords and stop fighting each other. Let us celebrate, for the first time in ancient times, peace has come..."

It was a voice that was unique in this era, a voice of confidence.

In that female voice, the companion could not hear frustration or despair, nor was there confusion, only confidence. As bright as gold, as dazzling as stars.

Although they couldn't see each other, in the eyes of their companions, she must be an extremely beautiful and dazzling girl. Standing next to her, they might be burned by that confidence. Her body and mind are full of yearning and hope for the future, unlike now...

The companion was silent for a moment.

"They must be living in a very beautiful era..."

On the side, the man was just minding his own business, drinking wine from the flask.

Although there is no one in this abandoned experimental base, there is no shortage of supplies. In the unknown past, a large amount of various supplies have been prepared here, enough for the two of them to use until they die.

But, really?

"Hiccup~"

The man burped, then glanced at the ancient machine in his companion's hand and smiled sarcastically.

"It's just the delusion of the ancients. Eternal peace? Hahahaha, I'm laughing so hard. How can there be peace? How can there be any fucking peace in this world! Bang..."

At the end of the sentence, the man once again threw the wine bottle out of his hand angrily. The porcelain wine bottle hit the ground hard and smashed into pieces.

The companion listened to the man's words and did not answer. He just continued to adjust the machinery alone, listening to the voices from the past era.

…

Humanity is finished.

In the long past, humans began to fight against the Four Evil Gods. They were four unimaginable evil gods of the universe, powerful and strange.

Some people say that they originally originated from the resentment of the dead in a major event. It is said that in that major event that has been forgotten, countless people died. The resentment of those desperate dead people eventually turned into four evil gods.

Some people also say that the four evil gods are self-existent. They have existed in the ancient past, but they just slept in the subspace, and then they woke up.

There are various and often conflicting opinions about the four evil gods. But there is only one fact, that is, the evil god did push mankind into a desperate situation and once caused the human world to collapse.

Then the God-Emperor appeared. He turned the tide, integrated human forces step by step, and recovered a large number of human planets. At his peak, he restored nearly two-thirds of the Milky Way, and once gave humans hope of victory.

People praised him, chased him, and worshiped him like a god.

However, the God-Emperor was not a god after all, and he eventually died.

Although the God-Emperor died, his physical body remained eternal. His physical body became a beacon in the warp, guiding the way for the entire galaxy. Even now, the infinite brilliance emanating from the God-Emperor's body can still be seen in the subspace.

In the days after losing the God-Emperor, the human world was no longer able to regain its former territory, and a long tug-of-war began. A large amount of technology has been lost, warlords are standing on various planets, and we must always be on guard against the corruption of the evil god of the universe. The human world is like an aging giant, which can only watch as it loses blood and falls into coma and dies.

In despair, human beings have tried every means, such as field life forms composed of magnetic fields, force fields, etc., AI that completely relaxes the limitations of intelligence, Zerg species that were born by mixing human genes... Human beings have created many creations. , but most of them are unable to help humans, and many even lead to more serious rebellions.

Humans even travel into the past through time machines.

In that past time and space, humans from the future met the emperor from the past.

Under people's pleading, the emperor who was as powerful as the God-Emperor in the past time and space thought again and again and chose to accept the refugees from the future time and space. However, he looked at the happy people and said meaningfully:

"Even if you escape to me, one day you will still have to face the fate of fighting... because the snake will eventually wake up."

People didn't understand it at that time, but eventually they realized that even if they escaped to the past, they still couldn't stop their destined fate.

Human beings have exhausted all their ingenuity and can even go against the flow of time and space, but they still cannot escape the invisible fate. The world will inevitably collapse irrevocably, which will also lead to a shortage of manpower in future time and space.

So, in this galaxy filled with bugs, monsters, monsters, and out-of-control AI, human beings gradually weakened, collapsed, and finally...

There are only a few scattered human settlements left.

When a man was born, he listened to the stories of his fathers, dreamed about the past glory of mankind, and once vowed to revitalize the destiny of mankind. However, what he faced was only the current situation that was so embarrassing that it was about to be destroyed.

There are less than a hundred humans in the settlement, and most of the humans are old. Although there are a few newborns, they only look more miserable.

Even so, humans must always be on guard against various threats from space, and death may come at any time.

Whenever a man gets older, there will inevitably be a few fewer faces around him, and when a man grows up completely, there are only two people left in the entire settlement...

Perhaps the last two humans in the entire universe.

…

"Among the stars, there is a race gathered here, cheering for a long project. The universe, what a grand word. Compared with this ancient and long universe, compared with its 93.4 billion light-year range, and 13.7 billion years of Compared with history, we are so small. We strive to explore among the stars, but compared with the vast universe, we are still a small species that has not even left the local galaxy cluster."

"Yes, we are small. Even at this moment today, we still have to uphold this kind of awe."

When he heard a voice, his companion stopped, because the voice was not full of enthusiasm or confidence, but overflowing with pride and pride.

This must be the sound of a peak era.

The companion thought in his mind that every time he heard those voices from the past, he couldn't help but imagine what it would be like in that era.

"In this universe, we are so small. Compared with the universe, everything we have is as insignificant as a child's toy. Everything we have benefits from the omissions between the fingers of the universe; what we create Everything is a parody of everything in the universe.”

"Look, those stars have experienced billions of years, and they have been shining long before the birth of human beings; they will continue to shine after the death of human beings. Human life is not even as bright as the stars. This has been since ancient times. Things that humans understand.”

"However, it is people, not stars, who realize the eternity of stars and the fleetingness of this world..."

Listening silently.

Although the voice spoke of the insignificance of human beings, in the voice, the companions clearly heard a kind of pride, a kind of pride that did not show weakness in the face of the vast universe.

Not far away, a man who was drinking also stopped.

He held the wine bottle in his hand and said nothing, but his ears trembled slightly, indicating that he was also listening silently.

"They once looked up at the stars, and now we have cast the stars."

The voice of the past could not be aware of the two people listening. He was just proudly declaring, declaring to this magnificent universe, declaring the pride of a small species.

Yes, we are small, but we are also proud.

Even with this vast and infinite universe in front of us, we can still proudly claim our great achievements.

"The universe has spent billions of years carving these numerous stars, but even with the vastness and antiquity of the universe, it has not been able to create a grand world, but it was born in the hands of a perishable species like us."

"You little human being, you mortal human being, be proud of this."

"Universe, have you ever seen that among these stars, there is a tiny species that has created miraculous products that you have not been able to create. At this moment, we have transcended mortal species and glimpsed the things that belong to the Creator. field of……"

The two listened silently.

They didn't know what the reason for this voice was so proud of, but they knew that it must be something very remarkable.

Unconsciously, there was no sound from the ancient machinery, but the two of them remained silent.

"Why……"

The companion couldn't help but murmur, his hoarse voice filled with deep confusion.

"Tell me, what did we do wrong?"

"Why is it that such a proud and great era will also collapse? Why do we end up like this?"
