Chapter 139 The Merciful Shelter
The unusual movements of the "Observer" stopped for a short time, but before the galactic civilization could take a breath, a discovery from all over the galaxy quickly caused a shock.
The strange phenomenon of "resurrection of the dead" began to appear in many galaxies. Planets that were considered dead planets gradually showed signs of civilized activities, and the corpses of living creatures floating in the universe gradually became soft from stiffness.
A large number of resurrected "corpses" began to carry out civilized activities in an organized manner. The smell of decay lingered on these "corpses", but it did not affect their efficiency in the slightest.
From observation, these "corpse civilizations" seem to have the characteristics of all intelligent creatures, except that they are corpses.
At first, the galactic civilizations were still wondering about this situation, but it didn't take long for them to realize that the "crisis" was coming.
An indigenous educator from the Fire Alliance hurriedly left the "school" and returned to his home planet.
He is the leader of the Fire Alliance, but in his spare time he will also personally go to the indigenous civilizations to teach.
Even though there are many official duties within his scope of responsibilities, with the efficient help of artificial intelligence, he can have a lot of time to do his own things.
However, due to special circumstances today, he had to hurry up and return to his home planet to participate in an urgent meeting.
"——Not much to say, hurry up if you have anything to say." The leader of the Fire Alliance came to his seat and started the meeting directly, and someone soon suggested:
"Those 'corpse civilizations' are very special. It is difficult for me to understand the way this kind of life exists. It seems to be a civilization that must rely on corpses to exist."
"All attempts to communicate with them have failed. These 'corpse civilizations' are attacking everything around them and have formed a considerable force in the galaxy."
"The most difficult thing to deal with is that these 'corpse civilizations' control the nests of many space creatures. Now, in addition to facing those 'dead fleets', we also have to face the 'undead army'. What is the reaction of the 'Star Sea Community'?
"
"..."
The discussion was proceeding rapidly, all the information was quickly sorted out, and soon someone said;
"These 'corpse civilizations' appeared too quickly. They seemed to have been lurking all over the galaxy for a long time. They woke up after a predetermined time and began to invade the galaxy without any warning."
"——It can't be said that there are no signs," someone said: "At least, the 'Observer' moves frequently, doesn't it?"
This sentence caused a brief silence in the conference room, and the leader of the Fire Alliance asked with sharp eyes:
"...What is the situation with the indigenous civilization that was destroyed by the planetary bomb suspected of being an 'Observer'?"
"Let's see... the 'Indigenous Civilization Memorial Hall' we built there was destroyed! The camera captured the invaders before they were destroyed... They were the indigenous people who were buried in space by us!"
This result made everyone present invariably look at the background board of this conference room - a flag with a map of the "Observer" galaxy printed on it.
Just as someone was about to speak, they suddenly received an urgent message from a diplomatic agency:
"The 'Observer' has sent a notice to the entire galaxy! Something is wrong!"
Along with the communication came a translated galactic announcement:
[Hello, young civilizations]
[We are "observers", an old guy who has witnessed the rise and fall of the Milky Way for countless years]
[We have seen through many things and witnessed what the "truth" is]
[Don’t be afraid of these “death-seekers” who want to exterminate the galaxy, we will assume the responsibility of guardians in this crisis]
[Now, we will serve as "merciful hosts" and provide shelter to all suffering civilizations]
[Only by uniting... can we defeat a common threat]
The newsletter is short but rich in content.
The "Observer", or the "Benevolent Host", sent an asylum notice to the entire galaxy, and took the initiative to join the "Galaxy Community" and requested to establish the "Galactic Defense Alliance" as the leader.
"...Can these 'corpse civilizations' even make the 'Observers' take such a stance, willing to put down their bodies to unite the entire galaxy?" Someone in the Fire Alliance was shocked by this.
"Doesn't that mean that these 'corpse civilizations' at least have the ability to fight against the lost empire? Otherwise, why would the 'observers' react to this?" Another person looked at the star map in disbelief, the expansion speed is getting faster and faster.
"Corpse Civilization".
Judging from the response of the Lost Empire, this "crisis" seems to be unprecedentedly powerful. You must know that even the former "Guardians" and "Silent Ones" have never reacted like the "Observers".
"...Now it seems we should call them 'merciful takers'? Does this time...do we need to let them take in the fire?"
Some people feel pessimistic about this "galactic crisis" and are timid before fighting, but they seem to have forgotten something.
All the suspicions about the "Observers" in the past disappeared with the resurgence of the "Benevolent Taker". Now most people subconsciously feel guilty for not trusting the "Observers".
But the leader of the Fire Alliance was silent for a while, looked at everyone present and said:
"...'Guardian', what's the reaction?"
"..." The leader's words stunned everyone, and then someone quickly replied: "'Guardian'... as usual, there was no response."
"I understand," the leader of the Fire Alliance nodded, and then made arrangements:
"...Don't act rashly, pay more attention to the movements of the 'merciful adopters', especially their proposals within the 'Star Sea Community'."
"Also...never go near them!"
The emergency meeting of the Fire Alliance finalized the leader's decision. Although everyone did not understand it, relying on the leader's prestige, the matter was still implemented faithfully.
But other civilizations in the galaxy mostly had similar reactions to this.
"Is the Lost Empire taking action again this time? Aren't we so lucky? Every crisis happens to coincide with the Lost Empire's radio waves..."
"Which one is it this time? 'Guardian'? 'Coordinator'? 'Farstrider'? Or...'Observer'?"
"Old man, you are out of date. Now people are not called 'Observers', but 'Mercy Adopters'! Such a cool name with this length -"
"Hoho~ It seems different this time? Although the crisis seems not to be simple, but since the Lost Empire has joined us, we will definitely get through it safely this time, right?"
"..."
Of course, it was impossible for Li Wenyuan not to notice the chaotic communications in the galaxy, not to mention that he had also received an asylum notice from the "merciful adopter".
"...'Corpse Civilization'? I don't seem to have discovered a similar existence before... Could it be another thing created by humans..."
He has now subconsciously linked all the anomalies in the galaxy to humans, but he is just thinking about it, and the specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail.
"But...'Mercy Taker'? Do we need to change our name to deal with the crisis?"
He was still thinking, and then he received a message from Gray Wind for the first time in a long time:
"——Have you heard? An old guy has awakened! He even gave himself a serious new name! What do you think it would be like if it were me at this time?"
Various noisy sounds can still be heard in Gray Feng's communication, as if there is a war over there. She can obviously filter out these noises, but now it seems that she wants Li Wenyuan to listen to them too.
"...Are you thinking about this thing? Why not quickly design your vassal civilization..."
"Oops~ There was a little accident. I'm dealing with it right now, but don't worry, it will be sorted out soon."
The communication was interrupted for a while, and then Gray Wind connected the communication channel again:
"But this...um...crisis this time? Can this be called a crisis? Well, this crisis is a bit weak, but there seems to be quite a lot of secrets. If I have time, I really want to experience it for myself~"
"...Let's wait for the next time, if there is a next time. Although I think 80% of it is related to humans, it is still good to take a look at the progress of galactic civilization."
After chatting with Gray Wind about some trivial matters, the communication returned to silence again.
And Li Wenyuan also set his sights on the extremely active lost empire in the "Xinghai Community".
