Chapter 448 The Great Rift in the Void

In fact, the darkness that the shadow chasers saw did not look like a big rift at all, and they should not have known that this was a big rift in the void at all.

The shadow chasers, especially Shuer, have seen the big rifts several times. We can ignore the explosion of the big rift inside the planet Parvatiga for the time being. We have seen it twice outside the planet Parvadiga alone. , and it was two extremely large-scale rift explosions.

In the desert world, the great rift in the void is several kilometers long. It is only through the full control of the God of Oasis that its expansion trend is suppressed.In Pavatiga, the big rift opened in the void stretched for thousands of kilometers. The Dark Moon Goddess silently used her own body to suppress it for thousands of years and keep Pavatiga safe for thousands of years.

No matter which time, the big rift that Xiuer saw, at least there was a boundary to speak of, really tore apart the space like a crack.However, this time, the big rift has no boundary, maybe there is, but it is out of the visible range, and it is impossible to judge where the boundary is. The deep darkness in the big rift has covered the void and swallowed countless stars.

"Siro of the Wind, bless you, this, this, boss, what the hell is this." The halfling grabbed the dwarf's arm hard, and even the dwarf's armor was deformed by him, "How is it possible, how is it possible There is such a thing."

"The void...the big rift." Mia's face was pale, and her thin body was crumbling. Fortunately, Meredith held her arm immediately and did not fall down.Memories from my youth resurfaced in my mind.That unforgettable day, that half hour full of despair, every late night, this memory will always creep into the mountain elf's nightmare quietly, like a greedy beast, gnawing at her bit by bit. of reason.Now, the nightmare reappeared, and the big rift appeared in front of her again, and it was so terrifying and shocking.

"We are just a group of exiles who were driven out of our hometown." "We cannot stay in the same place for too long." "We are fleeing." "Our civilization has no future and can only find a glimmer of hope in despair. "

For a moment, the words Ryan and Nina once said were remembered one by one by Xiuer. Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Xiuer's heart hard.

Even if there is no explanation, Xiuer can still imagine everything that happened, and it is completely understandable what kind of pain this group of desperate fugitives have encountered.

Countless imaginary pictures appeared in front of Shuer's eyes. At the end, the picture was fixed on a strange race, a group of life forms made of metal. In despair, they launched a charge towards the Great Rift. The overwhelming beauty was like a work of art. With a tragic momentum, the battleship rushed towards the darkness deep in the rift without hesitation, and then was swallowed by the darkness. It didn't even light up the spark of death, and merged with the darkness.

"Heh, heh, heh." Under the worried eyes of Safu and Moria, Shuer let out a few dry laughs and stared intently at the boundless darkness. "I should have thought of such an obvious question. Apart from the Great Rift, what else can force a civilization that has developed to this level to embark on an endless road of escape."

"You...you know it?" Unexpectedly, the representatives of the brown star civilization responded the most. Apart from Ryan and Nina, even the lovely Delia looked unbelievable. Stretching his weak body, his claw-thin hands grasped Xiu Er's wrist impolitely, and his nails pierced Xiu Er's skin with all his strength. Of course, it would not cause any harm, but it was enough to show that he was at a loss. "What the hell is it, and what can be done to deal with it?"

"Know? No, we don't know. There are countless worlds in the twisted void. I believe that no creature in any world can know what this thing is." Shuer glanced at Ryan blankly, shook his head with a wry smile and said , "Among the worlds I know, there used to be two worlds. I am most likely to know what it is, but unfortunately, one world is currently in full swing with the insects, and I don't know when it will turn into food for the insect swarms. And the other world...ah, has become its victim, leaving only a few relics and the last voice of civilization."

"Boom", Xiuer's words made Ryan lose all his strength, and he slumped in the wheelchair again, looking at the big crack with dull eyes, maybe because he wanted to see the location of his hometown from the endless darkness, "It turns out , It turns out, it turns out that it’s not just our hometown..."

"I've changed my mind, Ryan." Xiuer took a deep breath, his eyes had regained his agility, and he patted the old man's weak shoulder, "Praise the Holy Spirit, the foresight of the gods is indeed unmatched by mortals. Phew, I think, we Cooperation between the two worlds must deepen."

"Huh?" Ryan didn't react for a moment, looking at Xiuer blankly, his eyes were unfocused, only blank.

"Bless the people of God in the holy name of the Lightless Moon." Pressing his fingers between the old man's brows, gentle and cool energy poured into the old man's body, not only calming down his chaotic spirit, but also repairing the old man. The heart and blood vessels that may collapse at any time, "Guys, the situation is beyond my expectation. The original plan must be changed. Let's talk openly. By the way, please close the outer wall of the bridge. I don't feel like looking at that Things are a choice that makes people happy.”

"Ah, oh, okay." But the old woman Nina, who recovered faster than Ryan, gestured to the air. After a minute, the outer wall was closed, and the bridge was bathed in the soft indoor air. In the light.

"Let's talk about what's going on first." The Shadow Chasers sat down again, and Shuer looked directly at the three brown stars. "Although I can already make up this story in my head, I still hope that Let you introduce it clearly to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings." "This thing is the reason for our escape. You should be able to guess it." Ryan finally regained the acting captain's calmness and said bitterly, "We don't know What exactly is it? Even now, I still can’t name it. It’s just customary to call it the source of disaster. I just heard you say that this is...a big rift? "

"That's just the name of our world. Each world has its own name. It's not important. In fact, the source of disaster is also very appropriate."

"Sure enough, it is not just a specialty of our world." Ryan sighed, "More than 300 years before the Exile Operation began, our civilization was expanding outwards and had already controlled five galaxies, and was trying to completely master our location. The Silver Fish."

"It's close to the third-level interstellar civilization." Wei introduced in a low voice. "It doesn't match their technological level. Their technological level has already surpassed the fourth-level interstellar civilization. But it can be explained by the blowout breakthrough under pressure during the exile."

"On April 38, all records record that day. The observatory of the planet to which Silverbait belongs observed an abnormal energy fluctuation in the Gryphon constellation 420 light-years away from us. It was thought to be a supernova explosion, but there was no Other characteristics that a supernova explosion should have, after repeated calculations, some scholars believe that it is a newborn black hole."

"Yeah." Xiu Er kept nodding while listening to Wei's explanation of these professional words.

"This is the black hole closest to us. Of course we will not miss this opportunity. Therefore, the Brown Star government sent dozens of expedition teams to the target Gryphon for scientific research, trying to explore the secrets of the black hole." Ryan said weakly Said, "Ten years later, the scientific expedition team should have begun to arrive at the target one after another, but no news came back, as if they suddenly disappeared. It was not until 28 years later that a spacecraft that activated the emergency escape system finally Returned to the constellation of Silver Fish, but all the members of the spacecraft have died, and there are no wounds on their bodies, just like a natural death."

"After retrieving the voyage records, we found out what happened. It was not a black hole at all, but more like a gate to hell. Countless strange black shadows came out of it and filled the area of ​​more than ten light years nearby. And the so-called black hole is also constantly expanding to the surroundings. According to the voyage record, it covers half of the Griffon constellation, but when the expedition team arrived, it had already swallowed up three constellations including the Gryphon. Lost."

"Expeditionary team?" Xiu Er asked with narrowed eyes, "Have you tried to resist?"

"This is our home. Of course we cannot allow danger to spread. After discovering that those black shadows are full of danger, the Brown Star government formed a large-scale expedition team, equipped with the most advanced weapons and equipment, to attack the griffins. He launched an expedition."

"The entire army was wiped out?" Shuer frowned, "Energy weapons should be effective against void evil spirits, but... there are too many."

"Oh, yes, the whole army was wiped out. The counting method of the Brown Star Civilization cannot describe the number of black shadows at all. In less than a month, 80.00% of the battleships lost control under the erosion of the black shadows. The battleships All the expeditionary force is dead."

"Huh? What about the other 20.00%?"

"The other 20.00% are even worse. They were swallowed directly by the expanding source of disaster, and even their bodies were not left behind." Ryan sighed deeply, "Until then, our civilization knew that we were facing What a horrific disaster."

"Since then, our civilization has never stopped monitoring the source of the disaster. Then we desperately discovered that the source of the disaster is constantly expanding. Not only is the scope of the disaster getting bigger and bigger, but the speed of expansion is also getting faster and slower. The speed is even slower than the speed of light. We cannot understand why we can exceed the speed of light in normal space without sailing through curvature. But this is no longer the time to dwell on this problem. The biggest danger we face is the distance from the source of disaster. We are getting closer and closer, and destruction may come to us at any time.”

Xiure listened silently, as if hesitating for something. After hesitating for a long time, he suddenly turned back and said to the shadow chasers: "No one is allowed to mention everything you heard today after returning to Parvadiga. No one is allowed to say a word, even to the air. If you can't guarantee that you can do it, then leave the meeting temporarily, and those who can guarantee will stay."

After confirming that no one left, Shuer nodded and said softly: "Listen carefully, their history is likely to be the future we will face."
