Colonial Suit

The Abyss... the Fourth Anti-Space... the most mysterious, terrifying, and awe-inspiring forbidden zone in the universe.

To this day, no civilization has been able to break through here, because the Abyss is a forbidden zone of energy. All energy rules accustomed to in normal space are completely invalid here. Not even a trace of energy can be condensed and utilized. So even a planet, after falling into here, will quickly lose its power and turn into a dry, dead star.

But this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that the Abyss also possesses the most terrifying erosive power in the known world. Any intruder will be contaminated by the ubiquitous alien substances in the Abyss. These alien substances are similar to energy but are as terrifying as a plague. Even a little contamination will dissolve in the shortest time and turn into the same kind of alien substance.

This is a forbidden zone of energy, a forbidden zone of rules, and a forbidden zone of time and space.

The Abyss has no sense of common sense. The only things that exist are endless darkness and distortion. Light cannot exist here, not even for a nanosecond.

In such an environment, let alone action, even survival is an extremely impossible thing. So, to this day, no civilization has penetrated it, let alone explored the area beneath it.

But today, a behemoth, with a roaring sound, pierced through three layers of anti-space in a row, and broke into here in a violent manner. On the enormous star, countless tentacles twisted wildly, like a sea urchin with all its spines extended. Due to the excessive speed, it even created a super-giant tunnel directly connected to subspace behind it!

It was Lier's Starhive!

It turned out that she didn't know how to enter the Abyss, but at this moment, she was not truly present, but just a bystander who had traveled through time and space. So she just needed to watch silently and perceive everything.

The Hive was enormous, carrying the seeds of civilization and condensing the hopes of everyone. As soon as it broke into the Abyss, countless external tentacles suddenly twitched and were eroded into masses of black mist by the ubiquitous alien substances in the Abyss. Each of these tentacles was hundreds of meters in diameter, and its strength was comparable to the most solid warship hull in the universe, but it couldn't withstand even a moment, which shows how terrifying the alien substances in the Abyss are. Immediately afterward, the endless darkness wriggled like a living thing, filling the space tunnel behind the Hive. By the time the Hive lost its power, the entire space had returned to its original state.

The enormous star failed to stir up even a ripple.

But this was just the beginning. In just a few seconds, Lier received a stream of information reporting damage to the functional lifeforms. Almost all exposed lifeform tissues were fatally attacked. On the vast surface of the Hive, a large amount of alien substance was spreading like a plague.

Looking around, the entire Hive was covered with a dark mass of alien substances, and a large amount of black mist burst out with a bang, shrinking it by a circle in an instant. On the surface of the entire Hive, the biological carapace, hundreds of meters thick, was eroded into potholes, and all the exits were dissolved.

There was no sound in the Abyss, but the quieter it was, the more terrifying it seemed. It was like a silent hunt. The entire Abyss was the hunter, and the Hive was the prey.

That was an unimaginable injury, and even a huge existence like the Hive couldn't bear it. And what surprised Lier the most was the speed of the invasion. According to the frequency of cell replacement, even the strongest composite starship in the Fifth World would definitely not last five seconds here. This shows how amazing the erosive power of this alien substance is.

But... it still couldn't kill the Hive.

It must be said that the wisdom of Leiwoer was justified. This Overlord Starhive was even greater than Lier imagined. Not only because of its excellent biological carapace and defense system, but more importantly, it possessed a super characteristic that no civilization had ever possessed.

That is regeneration.

It was alive... No matter how fast the alien substance eroded, the Hive could always regenerate and replenish enough cells. Although this could not completely resist, it was enough for the Hive to survive. And because of the special properties of the lifeform, the lifeform energy in the Hive had not completely stopped, and there were still a large number of energy pools operating slowly,汇汇the hard-earned lifeform energy into root-like spreading transmission glands.

This is the highest masterpiece in the field of biology, and even in this Abyss that is talked about in fear, it still maintains a stubborn vitality.

So next, Lier witnessed this final voyage.

The name of the voyage is... Loneliness... There can be no energy flow in the Abyss, so the Hive has no ability to move independently. But fortunately, one of the biggest reasons why the Abyss is called the Abyss is that there is a natural phenomenon here. This phenomenon is described as 'Lotami', which means absolute emptiness. This is a natural phenomenon similar to an underwater cliff. That is, a mysterious force field will suddenly appear somewhere in the Abyss, attracting foreign objects to move. At the same time, this force field will shield all rules, creating an absolute 'blank', and this phenomenon is called 'Lotami'.

Because everything is blank, any object that is swallowed by Lotami will involuntarily move forever. It's a bit like falling from a cliff, so it's also called 'sinking'. In fact, this is the only known way to navigate the Abyss, and it is also a self-exiled drift.

No end point, no goal, no power, involuntary.

The voyage in the Abyss is so desperate. I believe that since the beginning of interstellar navigation, only the most primitive spacecraft can be compared with Lotami. That's why Lier felt that this voyage should be called 'Loneliness'. If they hadn't been forced to the extreme, no one would have wanted to embark on this road.

But the wise Leiwoer and the others were lucky, because Lier personally saw those conquerors who stayed behind turn into cosmic dust, only to save the seeds of this civilization. Maybe this seed will one day reach the other shore, maybe it will perish midway. But there is still hope, isn't there?

In comparison... what is loneliness?

Time passed little by little, maybe a day, maybe countless years. There is no standard concept of time in the Abyss, and Lier can only feel the passage of time through the throbbing of the Hive. In the boundless darkness, the Hive was suspended quietly, just like when it first entered. Every minute and every second, it was constantly metabolizing to ensure survival. And in the Hive, the seeds of civilization began to multiply, some new lifeform buildings were built, and a large number of cities and new lifeforms began to be born. Under the protection of the Hive, they began their difficult reproduction.

Finally, one day, a mysterious force field, like a big mouth in the darkness, swallowed the Hive in one bite. Immediately afterward, the alien substances covering the Hive disappeared completely, and the circulation system in the Hive returned to normal.

But no one was happy, and no one was excited. Because everyone knew that this was the beginning of the ordeal... the years that followed would be the most difficult and painful. They would be forever sealed in this super-giant Hive until they reached the end.

And before that, no civilization had ever reached there.

Only one person... a woman who did not belong to any force but had the most magical opportunities, had reached the bottom of the Abyss through an unrealistic dream and brought back something from there.

An object that the entire civilization regarded as hope, but also brought about a catastrophe.

"Maybe... we will have such luck too."

In a city in the Hive, the wise Leiwoer said in a low voice. Beside him were a group of wise men dressed in the same way.

"We have started, I don't know if the King will be successful on his side."

"The King will definitely escape safely, he made a promise to us," another wise man said, also causing everyone to agree.

"Maybe..." Leiwoer sighed. He knew that this was probably just everyone's beautiful wish.

In order to allow the Hive to withdraw safely, the King personally led the remaining conquerors as bait. And his brother, the wise Reinuosi, was also on the King's side, carrying another 'hope'. It can be said that that was all the remaining power of the civilization, including many outstanding conquerors and the civilization's most powerful war gods. But nothing is absolute. Although Leiwoer knew that the plan was very meticulous, he still had no confidence in his heart.

Because what they had to face was the advanced civilizations and powerhouses of the entire universe, including some that were even more advanced than them.

"We... must survive."

Leiwoer was silent for a long time, and finally said. The surrounding wise men nodded in unison.

Loneliness began... day after day, year after year. The Hive was constantly sinking, sinking deeper and deeper in the Abyss, shrinking smaller and smaller. The years were endless, without end. Unconsciously, the cities in the Hive had changed several batches, and the personnel did not know how many times they had been updated. Because of the lack of combat and competition, many warriors had weakened. They could only train their survival skills through the Hive's battlefield nightmare, and numb themselves through the killings in the dream, as if they were still in the civilization's most glorious time.

The wise men were also old. Although they could constantly replace new bodies through top-notch biological technology, this was not the reason they could live forever. The laws of the universe are cruel, and every life is destined to die from the moment it is born. Even if they replaced more bodies, they could only delay it, but could not escape it.

Watching familiar faces become fewer and fewer, Leiwoer, as the chief wise man, became more and more desperate. Under the white robe, his new body had also begun to rot, and it had only been a year since it was replaced. He didn't know how long the replaced body could last, a month? A day?

What was even more serious was that the Hive was not invincible. Although the Hive condensed the civilization's strongest technology and was almost indestructible, that was only almost. In fact, in this endless Abyss, no object is eternal.

Lotami's absolute blankness was like a greedy vampire, absorbing the Hive's life. Every minute and every second, a massive amount of lifeform energy leaked from the Hive and was swallowed by its blankness. This process could not be defended or compensated. They could only watch helplessly as the Hive also became weak. A large number of biological carapaces were peeled off, exposing the complex biological structure below. Layers of it were shaved off by the blankness. Blood vessels, tendons, bones, any substance, were all Lotami's favorite food. It was eating the Hive little by little.

In order to survive, the Hive had implemented a tight lock strategy more than once. A large amount of lifeform tissue was abandoned, only to be able to exchange for a moment of respite. But in Leiwoer's view, this was just a lingering gasp.

The road to the Abyss had not yet reached its end, were they going to perish?

Leiwoer had no answer, and could not see any hope.

Just then, a voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts. Immediately afterward, a young conqueror broke in and shouted hoarsely.

"Lord Leiwoer, look quickly!! It's the Elte Magic Confluence Ship!!"

"What!?" Leiwoer was shocked, and his eyes shot out with disbelief. "That's impossible!!"
