Colonial Suit

“Light?”

Lier frowned. “What is light?”

“Difficult to describe.” Reya's fingers gently stroked the wine glass, his voice becoming even lower.

“You can think of it as a phenomenon, a force, a consciousness, or even a weapon. But what it is doesn't matter, what matters is that the Boca clan's 'light' is the bane of enhanced cells. In the distant era of great chaos, countless conquerors fell at their feet. Under the light, they were deprived of the glory of dying in battle.”

“Remember, never touch it. Because with your current maturity, you will only become its prey.” Reya grinned, revealing an ugly smile. “Strange, isn't it? Enhanced cells are usually the ones that treat other things as prey. But this is the cycle of nature. Our natural enemy.”

“If the Boca clan hadn't remained neutral from the start, we wouldn't have been so successful in the early stages of the great chaos. But then again, I've always suspected that they weren't really trying to wait and see, but were wary of something. A lot of research was done on this later, and the only relatively reliable guess is that they are our bane, but we may also be their bane.”

“This conjecture is very contradictory, but it was later confirmed to some extent.”

“What confirmation?” Lier asked again.

But Reya didn't answer her immediately, but recalled for a while before sighing and saying, “In a certain battle, a conqueror was defeated by the Boca clan, and before losing his power, he opened the restraint lock of the core, allowing the colony to eat himself. As a result, after he died, when we examined his remains, we found a bit of residue of enhanced cells.”

“So what?” Lier was very strange. She now somewhat believed that Reya came from the same place as her. “If it's an enhanced cell, shouldn't it have such tenacious vitality?”

“No, you don't understand.” Reya shook his head. “Enhanced cells that have been attacked by light will not have any residue left. And the key is that in that bit of residue, we also found something.”

“What is it?”

“It's the remnants of light.”

Reya's eyes deepened, as if he saw that moment again. “A very small part, I think. Maybe it can be called… a 'corpse'.”

“………………” Lier was silent. Reya's words were really absurd, a 'corpse' of light? How could 'light' have a corpse?

But combined with Reya's expression and tone, Lier had to believe that this was very likely true.

But what exactly is 'light'?

“Alright.” Reya seemed to realize his absent-mindedness, so he waved his hand. A plain smile appeared again. “Don't worry too much. 'Light' is dangerous, but it doesn't appear at will. It only belongs to the elite of the Boca clan. And without the influence of 'light', even if you come into contact with ordinary Boca clan members, they won't discover your true essence.”

“Of course, I'm not just here to remind you of these things, you also need to be careful of a race.”

“What race?” Lier frowned. Although she now somewhat believed in Reya, she still held deep vigilance. She was also half-believing and half-doubting Reya's words.

“A race called the Sasha. But they are different from the Boca. The Boca are inherently targeted at us, while the Sasha are because of greed.”

“This race coveted our power during the great chaos. So until now. They are still collecting enhanced cell samples, preparing to replicate our civilization.” A bitter smile appeared on Reya's face. “In fact, they are about to succeed. I heard that they have developed a biological system that can modulate biological weapons similar to ours. This has caused quite a reaction in the Second World.”

“There is such a race? Then what is their civilization?”

“Quasi-medium civilization.” Reya said readily. “A form of civilization that is between energy, machinery, and biology. To be precise, their main body is actually an energy civilization. But they use this foundation to absorb the technology of other civilizations, so as to obtain stronger power. It's like a hermit crab, constantly arming itself with more and harder shells.”

“The individual strength of the Sasha is not strong, but they have the racial characteristics of assimilation and parasitism. So it's very dangerous.”

Speaking of this, Reya raised his head and glanced at Lier. “For example, you are a good parasitic object.”

“Humph!” Lier didn't speak. But a bone-chilling cold light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and terrifying flames erupted from her body.

Who is she?

She is the blood pupil's partner, the queen of the mutants!

Dare to attack her, Lier will definitely let the enemy know what regret is!

However, what Lier didn't know was that the 'you' in Reya's mouth didn't refer to her current form. But the appearance of Lier when she was first created during the distant era of great chaos.

War Mother. Absolutely, it is worth the Sasha clan's madness…

“Alright! I've said everything I need to remind you. I should go too.” Looking at Lier's livid face, Reya smiled, got up, and walked towards the door.

Lier was silent behind him, and suddenly said.

“Why… tell me these things.”

“I said, we are not enemies. And we also come from the same place.” Reya stopped, raised his head, his eyes dazed.

“In this cold universe, lonely world, what… is more important than a companion?”

The newest novel is first published on the 6_9_book_bar!

Saying that, he waved his hand and took a step down.

Countless lines lit up from his bandages, as if instantly turning him from a solid object into a picture outlined by lines. As the lines disappeared one by one, his figure also disappeared without a trace.

Lier stood quietly in place, looking at the place where Reya disappeared with complicated eyes.

“From the same place, a companion?”

“Really…”

“Makes people suspicious.”

Talking to herself, Lier waved her hand, and a ball of flame swept over, burning all the objects Reya had touched in the room into nothing.

“It's better to be careful.” Lier said softly and walked out of the room.

At the same time, in a corner of the universe. A super-giant nebula was slowly rotating. The deepest part of the nebula was a gaseous giant planet. It was filled with mysterious and strange gases.

A spot of light suddenly flashed inside the planet, and then split into countless lines to begin outlining, and soon, Reya's figure materialized.

He looked at this empty planet and smoothed it out.

A miracle happened, the entire planet seemed to turn into a flat scroll, tearing off a layer of the surface with his hand. The next moment, a lively world appeared in front of Reya.

It was still the gaseous planet. But inside the planet, there were countless large and small cosmic cities suspended, and super-giant freighters shuttled back and forth… like industrious worker ants.
