Chapter 361: Sentry Organization
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Similar to the Assimilation Fighters who gradually discovered traces of the Sentry Organization, the Voyager also discovered the history of this galaxy during the exploration.
Unlike the Assimilation Fighters, who mainly used infiltration methods, the Voyager preferred to search for alien ruins directly and rarely infiltrated them.
At the same time, they were also responsible for finding the Observation Terminal and the Purification Terminal here to completely grasp the movements of this galaxy and confirm the ruins left behind by humans.
Due to the special nature of the Purification Terminal, humans would only leave information in such a place that was impossible to destroy.
During this process, the Voyager discovered something unexpected through the inspection of many alien ruins. This galaxy had been attacked by a natural disaster.
Moreover, this natural disaster was none other than Presolin, who had also come to the Milky Way.
To be more precise, it was the batch that was chased away from the Milky Way.
The message left behind by humans in the Hatchery clearly stated that after the Presolin attacked the Milky Way, they threw the parts of the uncut wood that could not be carved back into the sub-space. Now, the Milky Way was preserved by the children that could be taught branches.
As for the batch that had been driven away, after the Voyager tested and compared the age of the ruins, it was confirmed that they had come here.
This news quickly reached Li Wenyuan. With such a huge discovery, he immediately checked this piece of news.
[Hello, esteemed Administrator. We found something related to Presolin in that galaxy. We think it’s necessary to inform you.]
[This is the ruins of a colony belonging to an ancient civilization. During the excavation, we discovered that these colonies had suffered extremely serious signs of lifeforms erosion… Yes, it’s the Hatchery Planet of Presolin, the traces left behind after purification.]
[In theory, the Hatchery Planet will completely modify the planet itself. Even the planets left behind after purification will no longer be habitable. However, this civilization seems to have solved this problem and allowed these planets to be used again.]
[We’ve found many similar planets in this galaxy, and their distribution and distance are extremely large. We think that the insect disaster that happened here has indeed wreaked havoc for a long time.]
The first thing Li Wenyuan saw was the images of several planets in an extremely strange state on the surface. Even from the perspective of space, he could feel that the planet itself was in an irregular state. Some of them were even very conspicuous and missing a corner. This was undoubtedly a sign of serious damage.
However, this destruction was very regular. It looked more like it was caused by some lifeforms for their own reproduction needs. In the recovery map drawn by the Voyager, the Hatchery Planet was the most similar.
[On these planetary ruins, most of the songs recorded were about how civilizations worked together to resist natural disasters.]
[In these readable records, the insect disaster did catch them off guard at first. At that time, this place was very similar to the Milky Way. There was no huge Imperium that unified the galaxy. Civilizations were still playing games with each other in the interstellar space society. Some powerful lost civilizations did not care about the world.]
In the face of an unknown natural disaster, the civilizations here were still doing their own things at first. Many people even thought that they would benefit from the conflict between the sandpiper and the clam. They ignored the destruction of their former competitors and even hit them when they were down. When their opponents were fighting hard against the insect disaster, they launched a sneak attack and ignored the natural disaster. They only cared about the immediate benefits.
[This caused them to suffer huge losses. It also caused the insect plague to quickly expand and occupy at least half of the galaxy. During this process, at least a third of the civilizations and species in this galaxy died one after another.]
[The remaining people finally came to their senses and began to unite, establishing a common front to resist the insect disaster.]
[Although the ruins didn’t say it explicitly, we still determined from many clues that this situation seemed to be caused by the lost empire of this galaxy adding fuel to the fire.]
[They invested and established an organization called the Sentry. This organization became the backbone of the galaxy civilizations and fulfilled almost the same obligation as the Galaxy Community in the Milky Way.]
[After paying a lot of price, even the lost empires awakened and participated in the common battlefront, the insect disaster was restricted to the other half of the galaxy. The two sides were in an anxious state.]
The seemingly harmless Presolin in the Milky Way was a group of unimaginable enemies in the outside world. Although this did not exceed Li Wenyuan’s expectations, it made him realize once again that Presolin was essentially a natural disaster.
However, according to his understanding of this Servant Megacorp, he also remembered that the Hunter had actually been here before.
“Did they encounter each other a second time in this galaxy?” His curiosity was soon answered by the Voyager.
[However, the anxious situation did not last long because soon, the insect disaster began to retreat unilaterally. They even gave up on a large number of their Hatchery Planets. There was almost no battle. All the troops who tried to attack would only encounter the fleeing insect disaster without exception.]
[This abnormal state was found after the Sentry found a way to capture a queen of Presolin. A race that had been chasing them all this time came, and this time, they had nowhere to run.]
[The void realm of this galaxy is not strong, and Psionites are extremely rare. It took the Sentry a long time to understand what Presolin is afraid of.]
[It was also when Presolin began to fall into internal chaos that the Sentry found evidence of the race that was about to catch up.]
[They discovered that a spiral galaxy about 30 million light-years away from them had disappeared.]
[The races of this galaxy discovered and studied this galaxy in the early space era, but now, their observation equipment shows that there is no light coming from there. This unbelievable discovery shocked their scientists, and they began to search for the reason why an entire galaxy disappeared into thin air.]
[The result sounds impossible, but after excluding all the results, no matter how ridiculous the remaining answer is, it’s still correct.]
[The scientists of the Sentry believe that the star of that galaxy was extinguished at the same time. As for the cause of this matter, we can basically confirm that it was done by the Hunter that Presolin mentioned.]
[There are no records in the ruins of the story after that. Perhaps we need to find the ruins that belong to the Sentry Organization to know the answer.]
[In addition, the Assimilation Fighters have also made some discoveries, the Sentry seems to still exist in the world, but because they are controlled by megacorp, they are only operating in the dark. They have yet to find any members of the organization.]
This time, the records that were sent back ended there. However, there were many of them.
The past history of this galaxy was revealed. At the same time, it also gave the ending of the other Presolin.
The Wanderers, who had always been running around in space, were still inevitably killed by the Hunter. This also made Li Wenyuan wonder if there was something about the Presolin race that the Hunter needed. That was why they attracted the accurate pursuit.
If not for the protection of the Curtain in the Milky Way, the Hunter might have chased him all the way to the Milky Way.
“Combined with the current situation of the galaxy’s megacorp, it’s basically certain that the Hunter came here. They destroyed everything, be it Presolin or the civilization here, leaving only a servant in charge of raising the hounds for them.
“Then where is the Hunter now? How is the Void Evil going to reconcile with the Hunter? And why did they choose this place to raise the hounds?”
“And… All the stars are extinguished at the same time?”
In the end, Li Wenyuan’s focus was on the reason why the Hunter was discovered by the Sentry. It was the kind of situation where all the stars in the galaxy were extinguished at the same time.
This seemed to be somewhat similar to the Cradle Galaxy, but it was actually completely different.
The civilizations in the Cradle Galaxy slowly destroyed the stars bit by bit, turning them into Black Holes from the outside to the inside. However, it was different for the Hunter. According to the Sentry’s observations, the stars were indeed extinguished at the same time.
This was not something that could be done casually. Even the Curtain or the Pillar of Creation could not extinguish or cover all the stars in a galaxy in an instant. Even if they were very fast, it would still take some time.
However, Li Wenyuan knew that there was a technology that could do this. It was a Level 7 technology that was one level lower than the warp drive level—the Natural Disaster Plan.
The Ether Phase Engine was a derivative of this technology. After it was fully charged and activated, the reaction speed of sub-space propagation was much faster than the speed of light. It could achieve a certain range of simultaneous destruction of all celestial bodies, which was probably larger than the Milky Way.
Therefore, when he knew that the Hunter seemed to be able to destroy all the celestial bodies in a galaxy in an instant, he immediately thought of this dangerous technology.
“In that case, the Hunter might be carrying out the Natural Disaster Plan. This technology was designed to surpass dimensions. In theory, the Ether Phase Engine could indeed tear apart the walls of the two worlds, allowing civilization to surpass itself and achieve a true ascension.”
“But… they seem to have carried out the Natural Disaster Plan many times. Could it be that they still haven’t completed their ascension?”
He recalled the characteristics of the Void Evil as a hound. It seemed to be a lifeform that could collect energy unconditionally, and the Ether Phase Engine was essentially collecting energy that could cross dimensions.
“In other words, the Hunter has actually been collecting energy all along?”
Li Wenyuan already had a guess about the Hunter’s goal, but he still needed more discoveries to prove it..
