Chapter 216 The real “natural disaster”

The galaxy has probably never experienced such a chaotic interstellar situation as this one.

No one thought that there would be "two guardians" appearing at the same time.

The type of signal used by the Lost Empire is of great concern in the galaxy.

After all, the occasional charity from the Lost Empire is enough to save a civilization as a whole for decades. "Licking" the Lost Empire is not a shameful thing. What is shameful is that you still get nothing after licking it.

And among these lost empires, the "Guardian" is the most special one.

Even though the original "Guardian" didn't look much different from other lost empires, the biggest difference was that he seemed to be a "lost mechanical intelligence".

However, after experiencing many crises, the ratings of the "Guardians" among civilizations began to increase again and again, and the mystery surrounding the "Guardians" became increasingly thick.

This civilization, classified as the "Lost Empire" by the galactic civilization, seems to be beyond the level of the galaxy.

The most obvious point is that the strength of a civilization far exceeds that of everyone else. If we use specific numbers to measure the strength of a civilization, the average lost empire is 200,000, and the "guardians" are at least one million. This is just a conservative estimate.

.

Whether it is the "Ring Crisis" caused by the sacrifice of almost all "Watchers" in "The End of Reincarnation", or the "Civilization Annihilator Crisis" caused by the crazy "Observer", both are enough to lead to the destruction of the galaxy.

major threats.

However, these threats were easily solved by the "Guardians". In the eyes of the galactic civilization, the "Guardians" handled the crisis like crushing an insect to death. The excessive processing speed even caused them to give birth to "

The illusion that this is the galactic crisis.

But after truly coming into contact with the "Border Breaker Crisis" and the "Cordyceps Crisis", everyone understood how destructive these threats that spread across the galaxy can be.

For this reason, galactic civilizations have given these experienced galactic threats an appropriate name - natural disasters.

This is also the origin of the "designation of natural disasters" issue in the "Xinghai Community". They hope to nip natural disasters in the bud before they are still in their infancy.

However, can something that can be killed so simply be called a "natural disaster"?

Real natural disasters are super threats that come suddenly, are extremely destructive, difficult to prepare for, and can destroy the galaxy on their own.

Just like now, to everyone's surprise, the "Guardian" seems to have become a natural disaster.

They received two messages from "Guardians", one of which seemed to be a broken "Guardian", and the other was a normal "Guardian".

In order to clarify their thoughts and find a solution, galactic civilizations had to start thinking quickly about the context behind this matter.

"... Judging from the current situation, it seems that there are two 'Guardians' in the galaxy - or in other words, one is the 'Guardian' we know well, and the other has the same origin as the 'Guardian'

The lost mechanical intelligence of..."

The scientists of the Fire Alliance were the first to respond. They gathered a think tank team with extremely efficient execution and relied on the clues in their hands to begin to speculate on what this "natural disaster" was going to be.

Although two signals with completely different contents were detected by them almost at the same time, there is still a slight time gap, and the "first come, first served" order can be judged.

The signal with lengthy content and the word "purification" full of danger appeared first, and another series of signals with the same content as the "Guardian's" normal reaction appeared later.

"...It looks more like the 'Guardian' reacted to the previous series of signals... I have never seen the 'Guardian' react so violently. There must be some inside story that we don't know!

"

Following this person's words, everyone else present quickly thought of a conjecture that was popular in the galaxy a long time ago:

"Could that be... the Guardian's ancient enemy?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into silence.

When the "Watchers" and "Farstriders" fought in the past, the galactic civilization thought about whether other lost empires also had such an "ancient enemy"?

It was widely rumored at the time that the "Guardian", as the mechanical intelligence that guards the galaxy, might have had a "Destroyer" mechanical intelligence that was on the opposite side of him.

However, since there has never been anything in the galaxy that could threaten the existence of the "Guardians", this statement ultimately became just a conjecture.

But now it seems that the "Guardian" really has such an "ancient enemy".

"...Not only that, judging from the completely consistent signal type, the 'Guardian' and the unknown enemy... were very likely to have the same origin, or even be a whole..."

"Although it is unclear what accident caused all this, the inference of 'two guardians' seems feasible, but one is the 'guardian' we know well, and the other is broken."

Guardian'..."

After a while of discussion, the Fire Alliance collective, which was already grateful to the "Guardians", passed their decision.

——They will unswervingly believe in the former Guardian of the Galaxy, even if he previously spread "ghost signals" throughout the galaxy.

The two "ghost signals" that went viral in the galaxy a few months ago have now been clarified, and the most destructive one is from the currently unknown broken "Guardian".

As for the other "ghost signal" that is just infected and does nothing, with the help of filters, it is also understood by the Fire Alliance as something similar to "vaccination".

"Then there are still some things that need to be discussed, such as the crisis caused by the suspected broken 'Guardian'. What should we call him? Guardian Crisis? Lost Omnic Crisis?"

"I remember it was said in the signal that what was activated seemed to be a backup protocol...'Active Purification Protocol'? Why not call him 'Purifier'?"

Everyone had different opinions on the matter of naming, but the heated debate was finally settled by the leader of the Fire Alliance who had been listening.

"...Do you still remember what the 'Purification Announcement' said? 'An unexpected enemy' was detected."

"At first I thought that this 'unexpected enemy' refers to an unknown enemy in the galaxy, or the 'Guardian' itself... But after thinking carefully about the meaning of those signals, it seems that this 'unexpected enemy' refers to

We..."

The leader of the Fire Alliance paused and continued with sharp eyes: "We seem to be considered by this broken 'Guardian' to be the source of damage to the galaxy, a worm in the galaxy, and it is here to 'purify' us pests.

.”

"But why does it make such a definition? We have also gone through countless hardships before we can finally stand on this galactic stage."

"He thinks we are an 'unexpected enemy', but to us, he is the real 'unexpected enemy'!"

The decisive words of the leader were approved and at the same time aroused their passion.

Are they an "unexpected enemy"? No, the other party is!

Therefore, while most galactic civilizations were still debating, the Fire Alliance took the lead in putting forward their proposal in the "Galaxy Community".

It is not an issue like "natural disaster designation" that designates a civilization as a threat to the galaxy, but a major decision like "Galaxy Focus" that all intellectual life in the galaxy should pay attention to:

"Galaxy Focus: Unexpected Enemy; Objective: Defeat the 'Active Cleansing Protocol'."
