Chapter 171 - 171: Civilization Annihilator



“…Unfortunately, our original plan has completely failed, just as we predicted.”

“Accidents are also a part of the Milky Way. It’s normal for such a situation to occur. We have similar scenarios in our predictions, although the probability is not more than o.i%.”

in

Presolin’? What an unexpected group of enemies.”

The appearance of ‘Presolin’ had indeed surprised the ‘Benevolent Host.’

On the surface, the friendly-looking ‘friendly lost empire’ had, in reality, the most arrogant attitude. They didn’t even know when the ‘Presolin’ had appeared.

The so-called ‘Milky Way major events’ were just a bunch of junk information in their eyes. Only when they were occasionally interested would they see what those ‘weak civilizations’ were up to.

It could be seen from how they viewed the war between the ‘Watcher’ and the ‘Voyager.’ They despised the two opposing civilizations from the bottom of their hearts and thought it was just a small fight between two children.

Especially when the ‘Watcher’ and the ‘Voyager’ both insisted that they were the successors of the ‘Enlightened Ones,’ the ‘Observer’ almost laughed out loud.

The arrogance that came from their assumptions of them being the ‘Enlightened Ones’ was deeply rooted in their blood. When the Milky Way was ownerless, they felt that they were the new generation of ‘Enlightened Ones.’

The act of saving the natives and collecting precious lifeforms was only a replicated action to make themselves closer to the image of the ‘Enlightened Ones.’

They looked at all things unequally. In their passionate eyes was, in fact, ‘pity’ filled with arrogance.

The species that were taken in and helped were mostly seen as ‘pets,’ and they were pets that were not that valuable.

After all, they would give preferential treatment to a species based on their preferences, but they would also ignore the struggles of another species and let them die miserably.

They felt that they were the gods who ruled over everything. They pitied the Milky Way, so they gave those lifeforms a place to live.

However, their status as ‘Gods’ could not be lowered, so they wanted to imitate ‘Gods’ and watch the galactic drama as an ‘observer.’

They did not feel they were on the same line as other civilizations. They would always be the ones looking down on all living beings.

It would be fine if they were always the Observers who were ‘watching,’ but their sense of superiority as ‘Gods’ made them want to do some ‘miracles’ to satisfy their own desires.

Therefore, they were not always ‘watching.’ Occasionally, they would show off their might and feel other civilizations’ sighs, shock, and praises. That was a segment that often appeared in their historical records.

After they felt that they had discovered the ‘truth of the world,’ the feeling of being a ‘God’ and feeling sorry for the people once again impacted their thoughts.

They could not completely replicate the great cause of the ‘Enlightened Ones’, but it was also their dream to create a new ‘great cause.’

They believed that letting the entire Milky Way ’embrace the truth’ was a miracle not inferior to the work of the ‘Enlightened Ones.’

And as the second ‘Enlightened Ones,’ they had to complete that matter, regardless of whether they used deception or coercion.

“…In that case, the backup plan could be implemented.”

“Since these young civilizations are unwilling to ’embrace the truth’ gently, we can only use some cruel methods.”

“They definitely won’t understand even if they have evidence. Just like the countless experiments we have conducted. Even if they know that it is a dream, a large number of people still do not want to wake up. To them, what is in the ‘dream’ is real.”

“As expected…In the end, you still have to rely on us…

■I

Ultimately, the higher-ups of the ‘Benevolent Host’ decided not to use such ■gentle’ methods to guide the Milky Way civilizations.

That was their last ‘mercy.’ Now, they decided to give up that mercy of ‘God’ and use the anger of ‘God’ to wake the world up.

The scene returned to the sightseeing group in the ‘Sanctuary’ circular world. The observer’s thoughts did not stop because of the break. Instead, they continued their journey after a while.

The politicians of the protected civilizations did not dare to raise any objections to that matter, even if they felt that it was a waste of time.

That was the price they had to pay for accepting the lost empire’s protection. Even their leaders were no match for such an ordinary observer of the ‘Benevolent Host.’

“…However, at least our safety can be guaranteed….” Someone comforted himself and patiently listened to the observer’s story.

“…Where was 1? Let me think…It’s the ‘Skavenge Fungus,’ right?”

The observer’s thoughts were racing as usual. He had clearly been talking about a crystalline lifeform.

However, no one exposed that matter. They all nodded in agreement.

“Speaking of this fungus, I must mention our experiment a long time ago.”

“At that time, we tried to imitate the ‘Enlightened Ones’ to create unique lives….Do you know the ‘Enlightened Ones’? Oh, oh, everyone knows. Then it’s fine….”

“The fungi became our first choice. The pure fungus civilization already existed in the Milky Way, and we wanted to create a unique fungus civilization.”

“Therefore, the ‘Skavenge Fungus’ scavenger nature inspired us. A strange civilization that mimics the existence of civilization through corpses and is actually composed of fungi became our choice….”

Originally, those politicians silently recorded that observer’s statement in their hearts. After all, the opinions of the members of the lost empire might sometimes bring unexpected benefits.

But the more they listened, the more they felt a sense of deja vu as if they had only heard of it not long ago.

That sense of deja vu was initially attributed to the observer’s retelling, just like how he had repeated the story of the ‘Enlightened Ones’ more than ten times.

However, soon, more than one of the politicians suddenly trembled, and their expressions changed drastically. They quickly lowered their heads, not daring to let others see their expressions.

That kind of small movement was very subtle, but everyone was a veteran of politics. It was a habitual behavior to pay attention to the surrounding environment frequently.

The others noticed that detail and thought of the observer of the ‘Benevolent

Host.’ Then, their expressions changed, and they did the same thing.

“…However, our technology was not mature enough. After destroying three native civilizations, we failed to create the ‘intelligent saprophytes’ we wanted – a civilization made up of corpses and fungi.”

“The ‘Skavenge Fungus’ has never given birth to intelligence. We’ve studied the intelligent fungal lifeforms of about half of the native civilizations. However, we still haven’t found the results we want. The mysteries of life still seem to be limiting us.”

“Finally, this fungus is used by us to deal with the corpses that fill space and the civilizations that were destroyed in various accidents. Isn’t recycling amazing?”

“Only now did we…Say, are you listening?”

The observer’s sudden question made the politicians who were constantly communicating with the civilizations behind them raise their heads. Their faces, on which they were trying to maintain calmness, were expressions of uncontrollable nervousness and fear.

“…Sigh, I knew none of you were listening. Why are you so bothered by these small things? Don’t you think you’re very lucky?”

“You are lucky enough to die under our gentle treatment. Compared to the people in the outside world who have to experience the cruel reality, you are really too lucky!”

Hearing those words filled with fanaticism and pity, those politicians finally couldn’t stand it anymore and started trembling.

At that moment, the civilizations fighting against the ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ finally realized how ridiculous the ‘unexpected enemy’ they had mentioned earlier was.

They had thought that ‘Presolin’ would be an ‘unexpected enemy’ to the rampant ‘caterpillar fungus disease,’ but now they had experienced the feeling of an ‘unexpected enemy.’

A Milky Way announcement from the ‘Benevolent Host’ disrupted their footsteps and gave them a big ‘surprise.’

[Poor little fellows, your tenacious will to resist is so strong that we can’t help but look at you in a different light.]

[But it ends here. It’s a pity you’re unwilling to accept our gentle embrace.]

[Is it because we’re not friendly enough? Or is it because we didn’t meet your expectations?]

[The ‘Skavenge Fungus’ that you call ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ failed to defeat you and even made you stronger. We must admit that the ‘Observer* who has been observing for so long has misjudged you.]

[In view of your spirit, we have decided to abandon our probation policy. Although it’s a very sad matter, we have to do it.]

[So now, we’re going to destroy you-]

At first, the Milky Way civilizations were puzzled by the announcement. The ‘Galaxy Community’ had also asked many times what the ‘Benevolent Host’ meant.

However, the ‘Benevolent Host’ didn’t respond. It was as if they had cut off all external communications when the announcement was made, entering a special state.

Soon after, the news of many civilizations being attacked by large unknown fleets filled the Milky Way.

To be precise, it wasn’t an ‘unknown fleet.’ The battleship’s style and attack methods proved it was a fleet from the ‘Benevolent Host,’ the former “Observer” lost empire.

However, no one believed it. They kept speculating if something had happened within the ‘Benevolent Host,’ causing that situation to happen.

They were still naive at a time like that as if the ‘friendly lost empire’ was still waving at them.

It was not until the leader of the Pyro Alliance arrived at the headquarters of the ‘Galaxy Community,’ where he personally delivered a message from the ‘Sanctuary’ circular world, that the Milky Way civilizations realized the seriousness of the situation.

The ‘Sanctuary’ circular world, which was regarded as the last stronghold of civilization, was experiencing a terrifying event.

The ‘Benevolent Host’ used lifeform-controlling spores of the Skavenge Fungus, a by-product of their research, to manipulate the protected people on a large scale.

Caught off guard, the ‘civilization front’ had completely fallen. It was not until the last moment that the Pyro Alliance spaceships hovering near the ‘Sanctuary’ circular world received the news from the inside.

Although the spaceship was also destroyed by the ‘Benevolent Host’ that suddenly went berserk, it still sent valuable information back to the mother planet.

The Milky Way civilizations finally understood the true purpose of the lost empire that had been urging them to accept protection.

They wanted to make enough Milky Way lifeforms to commit suicide simultaneously to get rid of the ‘virtual world’ they were in.

That behavior that no one could agree with instantly ignited the Milky Way, but the hostility of the ‘Benevolent Host’ was already irreversible.

On the star map, besides the red patch of ‘caterpillar fungus disease,’ the white patch of ‘Benevolent Host’ also turned red at that moment.

It meant that they had become the official enemy of the ‘Galaxy Community.’

And ‘Benevolent Host’ was no longer what they were called. They now had a more fitting name: Civilization Annihilator.

In the end, the majority of the discussion was stopped by the silent Pyro Alliance. The civilization that had always viewed the ‘Observer’ as a role model personally raised the following topic:

“Natural disaster assignment: Civilization Annihilator..”
