Chapter 143 Cordyceps Mythical Creature
The sudden excitement of the "Galaxy Community" has rekindled hope for many civilizations in the galaxy that were unwilling to accept asylum.
Even though the reputation of the "Observers", the predecessor of "The Merciful Taker", has always been very good, and the pressure from panic among the people within the civilization is also great, these civilizations still find it difficult to accept the transfer of the entire civilization to the "Mercy Taker".
Unlike impressionable citizens, the top brass of civilized government know better and are more rational.
The requirement of the "merciful adopters" is undoubtedly that they hand over their power of life and death to an alien civilization. This situation is completely different from becoming a vassal.
Even if the lost empire used various reasons to explain the seriousness of the situation and the necessity of this move, they would never make such a decision so hastily.
Which species did not stand at the top of the food chain through brutal killings? How could a civilization composed of such species give up its dominance so easily?
As a result, an unexpected situation happened. Currently, the civilizations that have accepted the protection of "merciful hosts" only account for a very small part, less than 10% of the total galactic civilizations.
Although the "cremation threat" issued by the "Mercy Taker" is still counting down, there is still some time before it actually arrives.
During this period of time, these civilizations will continue to try to fight against "Cordyceps" until they confirm that they are unable to do so.
On the home planet of the "Benevolent Observer", those at the top of the civilization are also dissatisfied with the current situation in the galaxy.
"...The results are limited. The numbers are far from what we expected. Those with the largest population have not come. This is undoubtedly not conducive to 'embracing reality'."
"Why? Our calculations shouldn't have such a big error. Is it because of... that 'Star Sea Community' that plays like a house? It's really unbelievable..."
The number of species now arriving at the refuge is far lower than benevolent observers expected.
Originally they thought that after some of their "warnings" and the threat of those "corpse civilizations", they should have sheltered at least 50% of the galactic civilizations until this time.
"'Cordyceps'? What an apt name. I didn't expect them to discover the nature of those corpses so quickly. This may be one of the reasons for the error. Who discovered it?"
Following questions, a young civilization called the "Spark Alliance" appeared in the eyes of these pioneers of the lost empire.
"The Fire Alliance? This name is a bit impressive. We seemed to have funded their construction of a nature reserve?"
"...I still remember the reverence on the faces of these young people when they saw us. They were very much like us in the past. They would promote the indigenous people and protect natural animals."
"It's very naive and stupid. This is another group of poor people who were blinded by 'falseness'. If possible, I want to take them to 'embrace the truth' together."
The pitiful words of this pioneer seemed to have infected other people here, and they all fell into this feeling as if "everyone is drunk and I am alone."
So soon, the leader among these people suggested: "In this case, we can only speed up the pace, otherwise there will be more and more variables, and it will be very troublesome to deal with it."
"The meeting ends here. May the real 'reality' embrace you and me..."
Not long after the galactic civilizations regained their strength, the "Cordyceps" epidemic became more and more rampant.
The red color block belonging to "Cordyceps Disease" in the star map was much larger than before, so it was inevitable to have a real head-on conflict with several civilizations.
However, these well-prepared civilizations formed a temporary federation. Before the "Cordyceps Disease" spread to their borders, they organized a joint fleet to fight against the "Cordyceps Biological Fleet" in a galaxy fortress built in advance.
A great war began.
The fight went smoothly at first. After understanding that those "moving corpses" were essentially parasitic fungi, several types of fungi and biological weapons were developed.
Without shields and armor, those "Cordyceps biological fleets" that relied solely on their physical bodies to resist were brave and fearless, but they also suffered heavy losses under targeted attacks.
Some even lost their combat capabilities completely after just one innocuous missile. The reason was that a virus that destroyed the biological structure of fungi was injected into the corpse during the missile explosion, resulting in the complete death of the internal fungi.
.
Seeing the increasingly clear war situation, these civilizations once thought they could prevent the spread of "Cordyceps" here.
But soon, they realized they were wrong.
"——Commander of the Second Fleet, where is your mother's battle formation? Why don't you fire?"
"Cover the fleet, listen to my order! Deflect the particle light spear 5 degrees to the left!"
The commander-in-chief of this combined fleet is directing the fleet operations in the interstellar fortress here, and his face is full of excitement.
The battlefield that had become chaotic made it difficult to fully implement his orders, but he still happily shouted in the command room and continued to point fingers at the battlefield plan.
He saw the dawn of victory in this battle and was so excited that he was about to go down in history that his body trembled involuntarily.
If this great victory over the "Cordyceps Disease" is achieved under his command, then there will be this sentence in the future galactic history records:
"XXX, Commander-in-Chief of the United Fleet from XX Civilization, won the battle against the 'Cordyceps Disease' in the XX galaxy. This is a historic victory, which marks..."
Even though his name is mentioned only once, it is mentioned among countless civilizations and species in the entire galaxy, which is enough to add a lot of color to his resume.
But just when he was still holding on to great hopes for the future, news of heavy losses suddenly came from the front line, which made him wake up instantly and look at the battle report sent back.
"That's..." Looking at the video records that were desperately transmitted back before the frontline battleship exploded, the eyes of the commander of the combined fleet suddenly shrank.
What's in the picture is an unimaginably huge space creature.
It has been dead for a long time, and you can still see the horrific tear caused by something exploding on its huge umbrella-shaped head.
This "corpse" that should have been floating peacefully in space now waved its huge tentacles and tore the battleship into pieces like a toy.
The alloy armor was twisted at will under the power of the giant tentacles, and the particle light spear, which was regarded as a big killer, only burned a layer of black smoke when it hit its thick biological body.
"That's the Space Whale Clan Mother! They resurrected the Clan Mother--" Before the horrified voice of a soldier on the front line could finish speaking, he fell into dead silence the next second, and only the tooth-piercing squeezing sound still echoed.
The Space Whale Clan Mother is a "mythical creature" in the galaxy.
She is far larger than an ordinary space whale. When it was first discovered, this giant creature was able to easily tear apart a fleet of more than a dozen battleships.
News about the discovery of the Space Whale Clan Mother has not appeared in the galaxy for a long time, but today, the commander of the United Fleet was lucky enough to see her majesty.
At this time, the space whale clan mother had been dead for a long time, but her body was resurrected again because of those weird fungi.
Not only that, those fungi seemed to have transformed her body. The current space whale mother has a body much larger than the gas giant planet.
The commander of the combined fleet's face suddenly turned pale, and he fell unsteadily to the ground.
