In the special data information given to him by the void bug, Li Wenyuan confirmed that a lot of data related to the Hunter was a kind of basic data that could not be eliminated.
No matter how many cycles there were in the universe, a civilization called the Hunter would definitely appear.
Although the path of biological evolution would be different every time, and the process of civilization growth would be very different, in the end, a civilization with the goal of destruction would be born.
This civilization was destined to embark on the path of xenophobia because of the lack of resources. This wouldn’t change because of its origin. The Hunter civilization’s special data would have a higher priority. Even if they used some kind of origin that had a large amount of resources, a new substance might appear in the universe in the next cycle, which happened to be what the Hunter lacked.
From the content of the special data, the Hunter existed as a mobile natural disaster. Perhaps it was to give pressure, or perhaps it was to collect some experimental data. The Hunter only had one goal: to randomly invade a galaxy.
Li Wenyuan even saw Presolin in the Hunter’s linked data. Surprisingly, this group of Refugees was also a kind of special data.
As if the pressure was going to increase layer by layer, Presolin became a warning sign before the Hunter arrived. As the vanguard of the invasion, Presolin came to the galaxy first and announced the news of the Hunter.
As galactic invaders, Presolin’s strength was not so strong that they were completely helpless. A certain number of the lost empire’s galaxies could repel their invasion, not to mention those old things with various origin augmentations.
While checking Presolin’s data, Li Wenyuan discovered that Presolin was sadly bound to the Hunter.
The name Presolin was originally meant to be Refugees. When their civilization developed to a certain extent, the Hunters would coincidentally choose Presolin as the target of an invasion under some indescribable coincidence. Then, they would defeat Presolin, who did not have the time to develop and turn them into Refugees.
This overly close connection and coincidence made Li Wenyuan think that this was not a natural situation.
Perhaps at some point in the past, Presolin and the Hunter were actually two completely unrelated civilizations. Just like other ordinary civilizations in the universe, they would develop normally and be destroyed normally. Then, by some coincidence, they would learn the truth of the world.
However, in a certain cycle, the civilization formed by Presolin and the Hunter became mortal enemies. Every individual in the civilization was thinking of ways to destroy each other. Such methods of destroying data had definitely been used.
If that were the case, the last victors would most likely be the Hunter. They had successfully made Presolin their prisoner in the future cycle because they could always chase Presolin away before it developed.
At this time, Presolin couldn’t realize the truth of the world at all, so he couldn’t modify the origin. He would only be caught up again and again in countless cycles.
“How cruel. No wonder data manipulation is used more as a deterrent and welfare method…If it really develops to this point where it won’t stop until one party dies, then the outcome of the losing party will probably be quite terrifying…”
Although there was no evidence to prove what he had guessed, the connection was too close. It was difficult to not think that it was man-made.
But doesn’t the Hunter know the essence of this void? That’s not right…They have an in-depth study of the void and have fought with scribes for a long time. They can even use real data to a certain extent. It’s impossible for them not to know about such things…
“If that’s the case, why did they continue to undergo the Great Ascension? Can this really break the cycle?”
This was what Li Wenyuan was most curious about at the moment. He really wanted to know why the Hunter had chosen this path.
Therefore, when the Hunter’s battleship arrived, Li Wenyuan still braced himself to deal with it.
He wanted to see if he could find anything unusual about the Hunter from the details of the battle.
“The Hunter’s data is a little difficult to check…but it’s surprisingly detailed? A portion of it is even data from this era, not some old-fashioned stuff…”
Li Wenyuan felt that this was most likely caused by the Hunter studying the void. While they were staring at the void, the void was also staring at them.
The Hunter had once tried to apply the void to their battleships, which made their weapon data especially detailed.
Based on the image division, Li Wenyuan immediately found the prototypes of the Hunter’s crescent battleship and the ring battleship. They belonged to the clearing-level battleship and the destroyer-level battleship respectively. The latter was more advanced, rarer, and stronger.
This kind of destroyer-level battleship was the Hunter’s main battleship used to collect the energy of the galaxy. It could absorb all the energy in a ball with a diameter of thousands of light-years by itself.
At the same time, this battleship also had a way to extract the energy of the void realm, not letting go of any energy.
They did not need to build a huge structure like the Ether Phase Engine which required a long time to build to do such a thing. That was why they could quickly shuttle through countless galaxies and bring destruction.
Although theoretically speaking, the more powerful a battleship was, the more singular its functions would be, it certainly didn’t apply to the Hunter. Battleships used to collect energy could also carry out powerful data attacks.
The ring-shaped destroyer-level battleship was still enveloped by the bright sphere, but its attack had already begun.
The various detectors on Li Wenyuan’s battleship emitted violent abnormal alarms at this moment. The most eye-catching one was an alarm about the continuity of space-time. The space-time field reaction that almost covered the entire battlefield galaxy was similar to the warp drive. It was as if a large-scale warp was about to happen here.
However, that was not the case. The speed of space-time continuity breaking had far exceeded the intensity of the warp drive. It looked like the entire space-time base level was about to be completely shattered.
This wouldn’t result in a warp, only a space-time ghost.
The Hunter was prepared to directly create a large-scale space-time ghost phenomenon and send everything here to the void. This was a “mechanical killing” based on the underlying mechanism of the universe. As long as the space-time ghost was formed, anything that could not transcend this universe would be hunted down until they were sent to the void.
From the destructive power, this had clearly reached the peak of this universe.
“…But the mechanism has to be solved with the mechanism.”
The Reality Penetrometer was activated again. Unlike the last time, this time, the range of effect had expanded to the entire galaxy.
The universe attracted another stack. With so many stacks happening in such a short period of time, basically all interstellar civilizations would realize that there was an abnormality in the universe.
At this moment, Li Wenyuan wondered if the universe was stuck in a war between civilizations at this level.
However, this thought quickly disappeared. His current focus was still on dealing with the Hunter’s attack.
The Reality Penetrometer was only meant to see the realistic data that represented the destroyer-level battleships. The actual operation was done by the Pillar of Creation.
Now, Li Wenyuan finally knew why these two derivatives were together. It was because they were used together. The Pillar of Creation could directly affect the data itself, unlike the Reality Penetrometer, which could only affect data.
Then, he found a huge amount of data corresponding to the destroyer-level battleship and used the Pillar of Creation to modify a certain character of the realistic data.
The effect of this was devastating. In essence, once a certain number on a battleship made of precise data changed, it would affect the entire battleship.
The space-time field that was constantly producing suddenly stopped and quickly fell back, allowing the space-time continuity on the battlefield to gradually return to normal.
The light ball that was wrapped around the ship also disappeared, revealing the battleship inside. It didn’t seem to have changed much, but only the Hunter knew what had happened.
The structures that acted as circuits in their battleships turned into rocks, just like how the copper in the wires turned into ceramic. In an instant, the entire battleship turned into scrap metal.
They had seen this method before, and it was from the Scribe Civilization that they regarded as their archenemy. They were very familiar with this, and their archenemy called it the power of creation.
“…I can’t believe we’ve met other civilizations that possess the power of creation so quickly…”
This situation made the Hunter become serious. They finally faced the other civilizations in this galaxy for the first time, and they were no longer arrogant..
