Chapter 400: Cleansing
"Fuck, it's the Mudin people!!"
Angry voices echoed in the chaotic radio signals of the two armies. Both the Xiyiqi and the Saidi people were shouting, as if they saw a terrifying army of hundreds of billions of eclipse insects attacking.
This is both annoying and helpless.
The Mudins are a super-normal group of creatures that cannot be evaluated by common sense. They are the trouble that the Galactic Federation least wants to cause. They are a fighting race that many intelligent beings want to avoid as soon as they hear the news. In general perception, the only thought in the minds of this race is "Come and fight me".
Before they could receive the information in front of them, countless flashes of light had already jumped over the fleets of the Xiyiqi and Saidi people. "Artillery warning, artillery warning! Artillery warning!"
The momentum of the Mudins was like a ferocious beast gnawing at flesh and blood. Their ships rushed into the fleets of both sides. At the same time, waves of space distortion spread in the void. They were the boarding troops sent by . After a while, a series of curses and shouts rang out from the ships of the Xiyiqi and the Saidi. "They rushed in!!! They rushed in!!"
In the minds of the Mudin people, close combat is the activity that conforms to the Arik spirit. Cannons and missiles are not satisfying enough, and close combat is more in line with their aesthetics. When they want to carry out this kind of Arik activity, the intelligent creatures in the Galactic Federation never have the power to refuse, and only the Nansai people will be so excited that their brains are feverish.
"Fuck you Mudins!"
In such chaotic cursing, the Xiyiqi insects and the Sadie killer whales didn't even have time to escape and were dragged into the vortex of "let's fight together".
…
…
Mr. Cat did not look at the sky that was flickering. Although he was just a small cat, he had a sense of calmness as still as a mountain.
"General Tu has brought all the Iron-Blooded Hearts here," Duke Gil said. "These Mudin people should be able to beat up the Xiyiqi and Saidi people who are blinded by anger very quickly."
Mr. Cat remained motionless, as if he was still immersed in his own thoughts.
Duke Gil said, "With Mudin's presence, casualties can be minimized, and their target is the Black Box Society." He paused and looked at Mr. Cat, "Excuse me, what are you waiting for?"
"How much do you know about the Mudin people?" Mr. Cat asked calmly.
"I have little interest in this barbaric and warlike race," Duke Gil said. "One thing I know very well is that they have an army that is enough to deal with most of the Galactic Federation's combat power. Another thing is that they hate the Black Box Society, so they are here."
Mr. Cat said: "The Mudin people once fell into the trap of the Black Box Society, which made this proud intelligent race pay a very painful price. This is the problem. The civilization of the Mudin people is higher than that of the Galactic Federation. There are very few galactic civilizations that can truly be their enemy, but even they have been played around by the Black Box Society."
Duke Gil grinned and said, "So, they have experience in dealing with black box meetings, and they will be more cautious than ordinary people."
"The same is true for the Black Box Society. With each encounter, they become more cunning. You want to deal with them, but most of the time you can only find tools that they corrupt and exploit. The tools are destroyed, and they disappear without a trace. They will come back again next time and take away more innocent victims." Mr. Cat said, "Before your nephew was killed, did you ever think that the Xilin people might also be infiltrated by them?"
“……”Duke Gil did not answer.
Mr. Cat straightened up, his sight passed through the overlapping urban buildings and penetrated the thick fog at the end of the city, as if he was looking directly at Nocturne Mountain, the ancient holy place of Xiyiqi, where the coveted object of the Black Box Society was buried.
"Xiao Zhen..." It let out a faint sigh.
While the unreasonable Mudin people were howling and rushing towards the confused Xiyiqi bugs and Sadie killer whales in space, Ren Anzhi was heading towards his destination.
The Earthman who joined the Zekin interstellar journey looked up at the sky filled with smoke and dust. The dazzling light in the sky kept flickering, and the surrounding alarms kept blaring. In just one night, this peaceful Xiyiqi suddenly became a battlefield where doomsday was approaching, just like Ren Anzhi's former hometown.
His homeland, his destroyed homeland, is called Earth, and the aliens call it Lola.
But the human named Ren Anzhi no longer has his hometown.
At that time, he was standing on the bridge and looking at the devastated blue planet.
"You can never go home again." Boss Han said standing behind him. He was an extremely handsome alien fox merchant, his teeth were as white and smooth as pearls, but when the fox merchant smiled, it was like a stiff mask forcing a smile, reminding him that the true nature of the person in front of him was not human.
"You are also an alien." He said at the time, "Can you really not save my planet?"
Boss Han just smiled and didn't answer him.
He asked again: "Do you know Twinkle Star?"
"Twinkle Star?"
"…Nothing." he replied.
Boss Han opened his hand, and a holographic image floated in his palm. At first glance, it looked like an exploded ball of thread. The golden threads were entangled with each other, like a flowing spider web. The interwoven threads went from one end to the other, intertwining and intersecting with each other, like a life with independent consciousness. It was frantic but shining. He didn't know what it was, but he instinctively felt a strange attraction.
He stared intently, but after just a moment, his head began to hurt so much that it felt like it was about to split.
"What's this?"
"Do you know the possibilities of the world?" said Boss Han.
"What?"
"The branching routes of the world." Boss Han said, "When you walk on a street, you can go left or right. You catch the bus, you miss the bus. Your brother dies in an accident, your brother does not die in an accident. You are born in this world, you are not born in this world, these are the countless derivative possibilities of the world. And your fate will be very different because of this."
"You're talking about parallel worlds," he said.
"You can also understand it this way with your knowledge of Lola."
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Come and see Laura now." Boss Han's eyes drifted outside the cabin. "Now the humans at the top of the food chain on this planet have been extinct. The biological killer Sinrate will continue to destroy along the ecological chain, the large carnivorous creatures on land below humans, the whales in the ocean, and then the species below them. Then they will evaporate all the oceans and completely destroy the ecological cycle. The Sinrate will evolve into a more advanced life form. After several orbital cycles, the Eye of Supervision will determine that the planet is beyond redemption and formally issue an order to destroy the planet."
He looked at him in horror. He didn't understand why this alien fox merchant could describe such a horrific disaster in such a calm tone. But this was not a fantasy. He had personally experienced the beginning of this disaster. "This shouldn't happen!!! Why, why do these monsters want to destroy my world?" He shouted in anger and despair.
"But this happened." Boss Han said, "You are the only human being left alive on this planet."
"Aren't you aliens? Don't you have high technology that can cross the galaxy? Why do you have to watch us humans become extinct?"
"..." Boss Han just looked at him with sad eyes, "Do you know how many planets there are in the universe? Hundreds of billions? Trillions? Every second, thousands of planets fall into silence without anyone noticing, and life on planets that are constantly moving is wiped out in the blink of an eye. There are many intelligent races that were exterminated just after they evolved civilization. In this ruthless universe, life is like dust, without any meaning."
"No, that's not it!!" he retorted, "It is life that gives meaning to the world. Even the smallest life can use its own cognition to perceive the world and define the world. If there is no life, then everything is meaningless."
Boss Han's handsome mask smiled, "It seems that your race is really very young."
"You are aliens with advanced technology, but you really can't save my planet?" he asked fiercely, "You really can't save humanity?"
"It's too late," said Boss Han. "It's too late to do anything now. The dead cannot be resurrected, and the past cannot be changed."
"Am I really the only human left in this world?" His voice became very low.
"All humans in Laura are gone, but there are many Homo sapiens in this huge galaxy. They look similar to you, and most of their physiological structures are the same as yours. The cultural customs of many civilizations where Homo sapiens are the mainstream are also similar to Laura's. If you continue to travel, you will meet new Homo sapiens friends, find a new home, and start a brand new life."
"..." He didn't say anything, as if he didn't hear what Boss Han said. He just kept asking him in a tone that sounded like a child begging, "Is there really no way to save my planet?"
He didn't know how many times he had asked this question, and every time Boss Han just sighed and shook his head.
Boss Han said: "No planet will escape the target of the black box."
"The Black Box Society? What is that?" He raised his voice. "Are the Black Box Society you are talking about the murderer who destroyed our human race?"
"It is a very terrifying interstellar organization."
"Why are they destroying my planet?"
"No reason." Boss Han paused. "The Black Box Society only acts for the welfare of the galaxy they dream of. Perhaps the disaster on your planet is just a small experiment of theirs."
"An experiment?" he said angrily. "Killing so many people and destroying a planet, just for an experiment??"
"I said 'maybe'. It has already happened, and you can't stop it." Boss Han looked at him, "The established facts cannot be changed, but..."
"But what?"
The golden threads on Boss Han's palm began to flow at different speeds, and the holographic image overflowed with dazzling light. He stared blankly, and he felt like he was seeing a flashback like a movie cutscene, but he still couldn't understand its meaning.
"In a branch of a different world, there is Laura who is still safe and sound."
At that moment, he suddenly realized what Boss Han was hinting at, "You mean I can go to a parallel world where no disaster has occurred."
"Yes, you are very smart and lucky."
"In that world, my relatives, my friends, and billions of people on Earth are still alive, right?"
"In theory, yes. There is another me there too." Boss Han looked at him, "Your chance is unique. Perhaps it will allow you to avoid being torn apart and luckily cross the boundary of the world branch to reach this world where the disaster has not yet occurred."
"... " He grasped the key point sharply, "The disaster hasn't happened yet? Do you mean it will still happen?"
"The world that hasn't been hit by the disaster is still facing the threat of the Black Box Society." Boss Han looked at him, "You might be able to stop it."
His eyes lit up, "Let me go!! As long as I can save everyone!!"
Prince Linaru fell into a state of near-nothingness.
A buzzing scream echoed in his head.
The queen was dead. This sharp smell seemed to have cut off all his sensory organs and drained away all his strength. His body was shaking uncontrollably.
"My queen is dead." He murmured in a low voice. Since he woke up, the world seemed to have turned into an absurd dream. He was buried underground and almost suffocated. He was rescued by Prince Alsiel and a strange alien Homo sapiens, but was attacked by monsters. His planet was about to be involved in a war, and his queen was dead. If he could still remain calm before this, after receiving the news of the queen's death, all his consciousness was completely emptied in an instant.
Linalu was shaking and almost falling.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty.
She was his queen, his love and dream, his master, Carrie's mother, and Xi Yiqi's guide. He could feel that the connection between him and the queen suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if a knife had dug out his heart. "No..." His voice was weak.
His life has lost its meaning.
He raised his head. Prince Alsiel was standing in front of him.
Unlike everyone who was immersed in pain and shouting for revenge, this number one rival who had always displeased him was staring at the Prime Minister without saying a word.
Why, why are you so rational?
Why don't you mourn the loss of our Queen? Can't you feel the pain of the broken spirit when she passed away?
Then Rinaru suddenly realized that the Prime Minister in front of him was the same.
The prince was looking at everyone in front of him. All the Siqi people in the hall were overwhelmed by the grief and hatred of losing their queen. The air was filled with the smell of revenge and grief. The Minister Sadie who had escaped death looked at everyone blankly. Facing the Siqi people who had completely lost control of their emotions and fell into madness, her face showed fear and worry.
But apart from that, the most unusually calm people in the hall were Prince Alsiel and the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister sat in his seat. He had been very calm since the beginning, and he was out of tune with the Xiyiqi people around him who were in high spirits and out of control. In Linaru's eyes, the Prime Minister was a male tribesman with a silver ceramic shell, graceful and elegant, and he was calmly supporting his chin. To him, the news of the Queen's death seemed like a normal announcement that it would rain today.
He could sense that a sense of control was emanating from the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister himself was well aware of this. The optical instrument in his left eye flickered slightly, and he stared at Alsiel attentively.
Alsiel smiled, and his smile reminded Linaru of a cold blade, and his eyes were bright, revealing a hint of anger.
He asked: "So, may I ask the Prime Minister, what are your plans next?"
"Of course there is." The Prime Minister replied calmly, "Now is the most critical moment for the survival of the Xiyiqi people."
"Our army has been engaged in a fierce battle with the Sadis in orbit." Prince Alsiel said calmly, "But now the network communication is completely useless. Even the Eternal Palace cannot contact the warships in orbit. How do you plan to deal with this inevitable war with the Sadis?"
The Prime Minister looked at him, "We have already made a decision. That is revenge."
"Revenge." Prince Alsiel said, "How? Organize ground forces to massacre those panicked Saddi civilians? Then forge a blood feud with the Saddi that will last forever. It's even possible that the source of this is a misunderstanding."
"Our queen was killed by the Sadis," the Prime Minister replied. "This is an unchangeable fact. As the queen's subjects, we have the obligation to avenge her."
Echoing the Prime Minister's voice, the other Sadis in the hall also shouted: "Revenge! Revenge! Revenge for the Queen! Revenge!! Blood debt must be paid with blood!"
Prince Alsiel smiled again, a gentle smile that countless Xiyiqi people thought was like the warm sunshine. But in Linaru's eyes, it seemed that the prince was clearly mocking everyone's folly.
Linalu thought of the Black Box Society mentioned by Prince Alsiel. If it was really as this political enemy said, the mastermind behind all the events was the Black Box Society, and it was the Black Box Society that forced the Xiyi people and the Sedi people into a life-and-death war, then the sudden death of the queen was undoubtedly the last valve carefully designed by the Black Box Society, all just to force the Xiyi people into an irreversible desperate situation.
So, what will the black box do next?
The prince said, "So what? Based on the news of the murder of the queen whose source is unknown, we unilaterally identify the Sadis as our enemies. Putting an entire race on the chariot of another race is just using the blood of the Sadis to satisfy simple emotional catharsis."
"Her Majesty the Queen, who was murdered, must be eager to see us avenge her," the Prime Minister of Military Affairs shouted.
"Her Majesty the Queen has been trying to maintain the cooperation between the Xiyiqi and the Saidi people. Not to mention that the real murderer has not been identified yet, are you sure she really wants to see her people shed blood?"
"We will not lose. The pufferfish are just a bunch of useless bastards!" said the Military Prime Minister. "We Xiyiqi have a level of discipline and mobility that no other race can match. We will make those pufferfish regret evolving into civilization."
Prince Alsiel's face showed a hint of coldness, "Are you sure we won't both lose in the end? The Black Box Society might be waiting for us to kill each other and destroy each other."
"There is no such thing as a Black Box Club! This is all a conspiracy by the Sadis to annex Xiyiqi!!"
"Both sides will not suffer losses." The Prime Minister suddenly said, "There will be no more deaths of Xiyiqi people. We Xiyiqi people will soon win the final victory and avenge the queen."
"oh?"
"Her Majesty the Queen has passed away. According to the Xiyiqi Final Moment Act, the Eternal Palace will have the right to activate the Supreme Defense Resolution."
Linaru's heart began to beat wildly. The Supreme Defense Resolution activated the powerful weapon obtained from the treasure of the Great Forerunner. He had only heard of this mysterious law before, but he did not expect it to become a reality. He asked aloud, "Is there really a Supreme Defense Resolution?"
Prince Alsiel's expression did not change. He seemed to be weighing the Prime Minister's words. "Are you talking about the Supreme Defense Resolution?"
"Yes," the Prime Minister said, "No more Siyiqi will die. The Sadis will have nowhere to escape and will be annihilated. This is the greatest legacy of the First Queen."
Prince Alsiel stared at the Prime Minister. Rinaru couldn't see the expression on his face at the moment, but he couldn't help but swallow nervously.
"What if I object?" he said.
His voice was not loud, but it was heard throughout the hall. The highest officials of Xiyiqi in the hall looked at him together, and for a moment, there was complete silence.
"In the name of the First Prince, I oppose the activation of the Supreme Defense Resolution." Prince Alsiel said loudly.
"What are you talking about! Do you want our queen to die in vain? Do you want the Xiyiqi people to bleed in vain?" The Military Prime Minister jumped out and shouted.
The Prime Minister raised his hand slightly, signaling the Military Prime Minister to calm down. "Unfortunately, your objection is invalid. After the death of Her Majesty the Queen, the power of the First Prince has been automatically stripped away. According to the vote just now, the Eternal Palace decided to use the resolution to activate the highest defense. There will be no changes. The end of the Sadis is coming."
"..." Prince Alsiel's expression did not waver at all. He just stared at the Prime Minister and asked, "The end of the Sadis? Are you sure it is not the end of the Siyiqi?"
"Your Highness Prince Alsiel, I can regard your current words as mental disorder caused by the departure of Her Majesty the Queen." The Prime Minister said, "At the moment when the Holy Queen left us, when the race was in danger, this was the choice made by the Xiyiqi people in desperation. The child should avenge his mother. This is the responsibility that all of us Xiyiqi people must bear."
"Okay." Prince Alsiel said, with almost no expression on his face. He just said in an unusually gentle tone: "Then I won't bother you anymore. You guys continue."
After saying this, he turned and walked towards Prince Linaru.
Rinaru looked at him. The Prince Alsiel in front of him was the political enemy he had always known, the source of his jealousy, the object of his hatred and admiration. In the past, he always showed a tolerant and calm expression towards his deliberate provocation, as if he would never get angry. Am I not your equal opponent? The more he acted like this, the more Rinaru would inexplicably rise up with an inexplicable fire, wanting to tear off his hypocritical mask.
But he never cared about him.
So hate.
So angry.
Prince Alsiel now seemed to have become a stranger, he thought. His charming demeanor remained the same, but now he had a kind of deterrent power that was enough to scare people. His face was pale, but his whole body had a vitality that was like a storm. So charming, yet so deadly.
He walked towards him, step by step.
Linaru suddenly felt a chill.
He could feel his limbs trembling uncontrollably.
All the complicated emotions towards him turned into fear in that instant.
Then, he felt Alsiel grabbing him, and before he could understand what was happening, the world was spinning. Everything in his field of vision was rapidly turning over. His body flew up.
Bang!
He slammed into the hall door and rolled into the corridor. He raised his head as pain shot through his back.
Bang!
Sadie's finance minister was also thrown out.
The killer whale lady made a shrill chirping sound. Her sleek, round body bounced a few times on the ground, and she chirped a few more times.
Linaru looked into the hall in panic, and Alsiel had already drawn his force field sword and slashed at the Prime Minister!
He had never imagined such a speed. It was like lightning streaking through the clouds. The thunder was still there, but the lightning had disappeared. It was like a musical note passing through the air, but leaving no reverberation.
The Prime Minister only had time to block it with his hands, and in the next moment, his head fell down and his body collapsed to the ground.
Alsiel held the force field sword in his hand, and the lightning arcs of the energy field danced on his sword, emitting a dazzling light.
He stared at the hall, his eyes filled with anger that made everyone shudder, but they were so pure and cold, like a hero who had traveled through time from an ancient scroll.
There was silence in the hall at first, and then the bureaucrats began to scream.
It was a cry of disbelief, it was a smell of extreme fear.
Linalu opened his mouth and saw the shadow of the fallen Prime Minister's body shaking slightly. The invisible shadow twisted and rolled, like the tentacles of a deep-sea cephalopod spreading silently in the air, and then it twisted and flew into the body of the Home Minister at a high speed.
Then, the entire demeanor of the Home Secretary changed. He stood in a strange posture, with the same half-smiley expression as the Prime Minister just now on his face. He was arrogant and condescending, with an air of control over everything. He shouted in an unusually sharp tone: "Prince Alsher is a traitor! He has long colluded with the Sadis!!"
The senior bureaucrats in the hall continued to scream. Someone shouted: "Guards! Guards! Catch the traitor!"
Then, a shadow flashed behind the Home Minister. The metal claws left a shadow in the air, and the Home Minister exploded like a fruit. Shark Fang kicked the body of the Home Minister away, and his gun was aimed at the invisible shadow that escaped from the body of the Home Minister. The sparks of the explosive bullet jumped on the floor, but did not stop its floating speed.
Linalu heard a voice in his mind: "Take Minister Sadie away immediately! Don't let anyone in again!! Once possessed, there is no saving them!" It was Alsiel's voice.
His heart was beating like a drum, and he saw the shadow slip into the body of another minister.
So Linalu gritted his teeth and climbed up. He pushed the door closed with all his strength, then turned around and grabbed Minister Sadie, who was still in shock, and ran to the end of the corridor.
Behind the gate, the Prince and Shark Tooth stood side by side, their shadows under the light like the cold night.
"Now, continue to purge the Black Box Society." He stepped forward, and the force field sword drew a silver trail.
