Alien Relic Hunter

"I think the other Undead Crews will only have a partial understanding of these plans. The members of the Undead Crews have survived for too long. Although the Immortal Coffin can delay the process of physical mutation, it does not help with the erosion of cognition and thinking. . There must be traitors within the Undead Crew Association. In order to prevent the traitors from knowing about these plans and obstructing them, the Fool will definitely not reveal the entire plan to them," said the master of the nest.

"As for the White Coffin and the Black Coffin, they are the prototypes of the Eternal Life Coffin... but their real functions are very different from the Eternal Life Coffin. It can only be said that the Eternal Life Coffin is based on part of the development of the White Coffin and the Black Coffin. The technology developed at that time, the connection between the two, that’s all.”

"Then Nieto said that the White Coffin and the Black Coffin are the real coffins of eternal life. What does this mean?" Ke Lan asked.

"Nieto's information database is not complete because its AI has been eroded, so I deleted the most critical information." The hive master said, "The real names of the White Coffin and the Black Coffin should be called 'God' The coffin is the most critical item in the Night Watchman's God-making Plan, and this God-making Plan was inherited by The Fool after he came into contact with the surviving Night Watchmen."

"The God-Creation Plan... is really a grand goal..." Ke Lan twitched his lips, "Does Alpha Civilization think it can create a being like him..."

A low-level civilization that can't even become a god's dependent family actually wants to skip countless classes and directly become a god... Ke Lan didn't describe these people as idiots and dreaming, so he retained the last courtesy.

"Theoretically, this plan is feasible." The master of the nest said, "Because a genius scholar in the Alpha civilization discovered a very special power."

"What?" Ke Lan was slightly startled. Is there really such a shortcut?

"You know the existence of the Ability God."

"I know." Ke Lan nodded quickly, "They are other beings at the same level as him... But the only one whose name I know so far is 'Fire God Cthugea'."

"As far as we know, in this world, the number of known supernatural gods is around two hundred to three hundred... There may be more unknown ones. As for those whose names are known, there are only a few. The flame you mentioned The alien god Cthugha is one of these few."

"Then what is the name of the god who planted his mark on Alpha civilization?"

"This universe is His territory. Lower creatures cannot directly call Him by name in His territory, unless you are strong enough to break through this law. But if you really have this power and do so, That will immediately attract His attention... You should know the consequences, right?"

"Being used as nourishment...or being adopted as a dependent?"

"No, you will be destroyed instantly by His power." The master of the nest said, "Don't think that He really doesn't care about anything. That's only for ants. If you already have the ability to call Him by name in His domain If you have the strength, then to Him, you can't be considered an ant - an ant cursing you at your feet in a voice you can't hear may not attract your attention at all, but if a stray dog ​​rushes to bite you If you take one bite, you should beat the stray dog ​​to death without hesitation, right?"

"Does it take such a powerful force to even shout your name?"

"This is just a metaphor. The gap between a person who can directly call Him by name is far beyond that of a human and a stray dog, but it is enough to attract His attention. We don't know whether He has a personality, but if there is , that must be a moody character, and no one would want to provoke such an existence. Don't think that you can act unscrupulously just because He is interested in you... This 'interest' may only be fleeting."

"I roughly understand..." Ke Lan took a breath, "Then can you continue to talk about Alpha Civilization's god-making plan? What special power did that genius scholar discover?"

"When positive matter and antimatter come into contact, they will cancel each other out, resulting in a phenomenon called annihilation, and at the same time release a large amount of energy... Similar phenomena will also occur after his power comes into contact with the power of other gods. . Under this phenomenon, a very pure substance will be produced. This substance has the original energy of God, but does not bear the imprint of any God. This is a power that can be utilized by humans. The power of God The real function of the coffin is to transform the human body and mind, and implant this substance into the human body while allowing it to retain its human nature." The hive master spoke slowly. This paragraph was not long, but The amount of information contained in each word is explosive.

"In other words, I have this kind of power in my body now?" Ke Lan said in shock.

"It's rare, but it does exist. It's just that in this universe, if you use this power rashly, it's very easy to attract his attention... You should have experienced it once when you were fighting the Sphinx. ."

"Yes, this kind of power is indeed very dangerous."

Ke Lan suddenly had an idea in his head. For a moment, he seemed to have figured out the true purpose of Alpha Civilization's "God-Creation Plan", and he followed this idea and said: "If this kind of power is used to attack, It is indeed easy to attract His attention, but if it is used as a means to resist erosion, it can ensure confidentiality while eliminating the risks caused by super erosion... Alpha civilization does not really want to create a god. , they just want to create a person who can withstand those forbidden knowledge, but will not become a breakthrough in disaster."

"You reacted very quickly. This is indeed the true purpose of Alpha Civilization's 'God-Creation Plan' and the true purpose of the Fool. Human civilization needs a person like this who can shoulder all the truths and secrets, but will not be fooled by these things." Overwhelmed, leading the entire civilization to move forward..."

"By continuing to move forward, do you mean continuing to implement the 'God-Creation Plan'?" Ke Lan murmured, "But there is not much time left for us. Even if I can be immune to erosion, I cannot save the entire human civilization. "

"Escape." The hive master said in a very solemn tone, "In the face of existences of that level, there is no shame in escaping. The highest priority goal at the moment is to escape from this place after digesting all the legacies left by the Alpha civilization. . Most of the people in the Ark have not yet been branded by Him. These people are the seeds of the future. You must take them to escape to a place not touched by the power of the gods. At the same time, while escaping, continue to advance the 'God-making plan' …Until one day, mankind can truly create a god of its own, that is the day when human civilization ends its escape.”

"..." Ke Lan couldn't help but take a breath. This plan is really too grand... Even the word grand seems a little pale in front of this plan.

When I first heard about this plan, I felt like I didn't know the heights of the world. However, upon closer inspection, in the endless despair and darkness, this seemed to be the only glimmer of light.

"The difficulty of executing this plan is really not that high - in order to keep the fire of human civilization, we must flee as far away from the realms controlled by the gods as possible, but in order for the god-making plan to continue to advance, we must go to those gods To steal the remaining divine power in the war zone... This is simply dancing on the tip of a knife."

"Survival is inherently a very difficult thing, not to mention the survival of the entire civilization." The hive master said, "You have to know that the current progress is only possible due to human civilizations standing in countless parallel universes. On the shoulders of the rising giant... Even so, the god-making plan is still not complete. Whether it is Alpha civilization or Ark civilization, the meaning of existence is not to truly create gods, but to further complete the plan, and..."

"Leave it to humans in another parallel universe...if we also fail." Ke Lan said solemnly.

"That's right."

…

Mukach Fortress.

Maginot, who was promoted to general not long ago, was sitting at his desk with a constipated expression on his face. His stubby fingers were swiping across the screen in front of him, and one photo after another taken by a drone was displayed. flashed before his eyes.

Every time a photo was flashed, Admiral Maginot's face became more ugly, which made the group of staff officers standing on the other side of the table even dare not show their dignity.

"Major Nicol, this information has not been made public yet, right?" Maginot raised his head and looked at the pale young colonel standing by the door.

Major Nicol is the head of the information reconnaissance battalion of the 7th Armored Mixed Division. The so-called information reconnaissance battalion is actually a team responsible for controlling drones. In addition to a dozen technical officers and a few guards, the entire battalion has There are only hundreds of long-range drones in the hangar. The photos Admiral Maginot just viewed were taken by the drone of this information reconnaissance battalion.

Although he had been standing by the door for several minutes, Major Nicol's breathing still seemed a little rapid. He opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then stammered to Maginot: "Report... report General, after seeing these photos...these photos, I realized the seriousness of the problem...and immediately issued a gag order and a grounding order to my subordinates. I also locked the permissions of all drones and the door of the machine room. They are also locked, and I...I guarantee that these photos will never be leaked."

"You did a good job..." Maginot nodded, and then sighed, "But in fact, it doesn't matter whether you leak it or not... Such a big thing cannot be hidden..."

Twenty-six hours ago, the communication between Mukah Fortress and Ark was suddenly interrupted. Magino was attacked by a heretic sect before. Like a frightened bird, Magino immediately put the entire base into a state of first-level combat readiness, which was enough to alert him. For twelve hours, the base did not suffer any attacks.

Only then did Magino realize that something was wrong, and sent several mobile teams to the communication transfer station between Mukah Fortress and Ark to check the situation. However, the return received was very strange - there was no fault in the equipment at the transfer station. But the transfer station just couldn't get in touch with other communication nodes, whether it was the Ark side or the Mukah Fortress side.

It's like a pair of big scissors, cutting into pieces the communication network established by humans on the surface of Alpha Star. Every communication node is isolated, like one island after another.

Maginot's staff initially thought that communications had been blocked. This kind of thing is not uncommon on Alpha Planet. When the electromagnetic shielding field of a certain ruins is activated, all wireless communications and even electronic equipment in the surrounding area will be blocked. Everyone will be affected... For people who live in the wilderness all year round, it is actually very common for people to lose contact.

This time it just took a little longer.

But Admiral Maginot felt a little uneasy in his heart - before the communication was interrupted, he sent four routine reporting emails to Ark. All four emails were received by Ark, but he did not receive any response. reply.

It was not until four hours later that communication was interrupted and the Mukakh base could no longer connect to the field corps' military network.

Generally speaking, the reply time for this kind of routine report email is within twelve hours, but this refers to the latest deadline. Reports from military important places like Mukah Fortress used to be sent back within half an hour. You will get a reply, no later than an hour at the latest.

The only time a reply took more than an hour was because a signal transceiver at a transfer station was damaged due to bad weather and was not repaired in time.

Maginot immediately decided to send people back to the Ark, but he sent four groups of people in succession, but they all disappeared, and no news came back.

In desperation, Maginot had no choice but to let the drone of the Information Reconnaissance Battalion go to the Ark to reconnoiter the situation. It was better not to conduct reconnaissance. When the drone took these photos back, Maginot was used to seeing strong winds and waves. , were all so shocked that they couldn’t speak for a while.

Fortunately, Maginot's expression control ability was pretty good. Although his heart rate soared to 180 and his legs were shaking slightly, at least in the eyes of his subordinates, this large-tonnage general still remained calm.

In the photos taken by drones, the entire Ark has been wrapped in a layer of fleshy fungi. On the surface of the fleshy carpet, there are countless tumor-like growths ranging from half a meter to more than ten meters in diameter. After zooming in on the picture, you can clearly see that there seems to be something curled up inside these tumor-like growths, just like in the mother's body. Embryos that develop slowly within are normal.

What made Maginot despair the most was that the garrison fleet that defended the Ark itself and was known as the strongest combat force in mankind. Its warships were scattered across the Ark like models that had been ravaged by naughty children. On the outer shell, the remains of these battleships were also wrapped in this layer of fleshy fungi.
