Alien Knights

Below the land of shadows, in the deep sea to the north.

Suspended in the dark sea water, Todd used his night vision and eagle eye abilities to look into the depths of the ocean. There was a faint light coming from there, and the swimming figures of creatures could be seen. He shook his head and said: " It seems that my guess was correct."

A thunderous voice sounded in his ear: "When did you find out?"

"Do you remember? The last time I came to you to ask about the soul seed, you took me to your soul space and showed me the murloc cities."

The body like a hill moved slowly in the sea, shaking the huge eyeball, Leviathan confirmed: "That's right, those murlocs who fought against humans and were exterminated tens of thousands of years ago, I quietly Keep their souls in my consciousness space. But, how did you find it here?"

Todd lowered his dragon head, and the ability of underwater breathing allowed him to absorb oxygen from the water without any obstacles. He recalled and said: "Based on the clues...not only you, but also the soul space of Scathach. I have been there. Later, I discovered a strange thing, comparing the two of you, your soul power is much higher than that of Scathach."

"At that time, I was thinking, as the first batch of creations of Jingsu, why do you two have such a big difference in soul power?"

Leviathan was silent for a moment, and then said: "Every pioneer created by Jingsu has a completely different mission and ability. For example, Scathach, when she was created, she was given the mission to observe and inherit. She is primarily responsible for keeping records of all civilizations, and documenting and verifying the culture and characteristics of each civilization."

"And I." Leviathan's huge body covered the dots of light in the ocean: "My mission is to conceive and reproduce... In the sea, a sacred place like a mother, I carefully care for every soul The condensed life, watched them slowly develop from the simplest organisms to complex advanced creatures. Some of them went ashore to establish civilization on land, and some stayed by my side to continue living. "

Todd continued to analyze: "So, let me guess, the reason why your soul ability is higher than Scathach is because you need to use soul ability when you breed life in the ocean. Conversely, Is the initial creation of life the formation of the soul?"

In Leviathan's voice, for the first time, there was a tone of admiration: "You guessed right."

"The so-called soul is actually a form of structure with dark matter as the raw material. It is a blueprint, a blueprint, and a design draft for creating all organic objects."

"Before creating life, the pioneers will transmit the design plan and ability requirements of the species to the same kind with the ability to conceive according to their own preferences - such as me. Based on these needs, I will start in the soul space. dark matter and dark energy, and start to build the souls of living organisms. Next, I will use an ability to transform these souls into entities..."

Todd nodded and said, "The soul is concretized."

"Yes, it seems that Scathach has already taught you this ability... Build up the blueprint design in the soul space with free elements and particles in the real world bit by bit. This process is The embodiment of the soul."

"After the soul is concretized, the pioneers will observe the state and performance of the materialized things, let the most basic and low-level soul blueprint, under the influence of nature and society, continuously upgrade to a higher ideology, and finally form for higher organisms."

Todd said helplessly: "However, what you didn't expect is that the emergence of the Genocide War will completely interrupt the upgrade of the soul and the evolution of the species. Any civilization, after it evolves to a certain level, will inevitably usher in destruction. "

Leviathan said in a deep voice: "This is also the biggest difference between the forerunners and our creator, the crystal host. The forerunners believe that when civilization progresses to a certain stage, self-discipline and freedom will eventually usher in the demise of the race. Only by influencing and interfering with it can we ensure the continuation of civilization. However, Jingsu believes that whether it is the soul or civilization, higher life must not disturb the development track of lower life, otherwise, it will violate the original intention of the life experiment. It makes the experimental results lose their authenticity."

Hearing this, Todd shuddered.

In his previous life—that blue planet, until now, he has been arguing about the Fermi Paradox. No matter how hard he tried, no trace of alien civilization could be found. Is it also because of similar reasons?

Putting aside those complicated thoughts, Todd said to Leviathan: "Leaving aside, who is right and who is wrong between Jingsu and the forerunner. Do you still remember the question I asked you in the soul space?"

"Which question?"

"At the beginning, after seeing the souls of the group of murlocs in your soul space, I asked you, "Why do you keep so many souls in your own space?" Afterwards, you only said to me Half a sentence "Because they are all...""

Todd flapped his dragon wings in the sea, and said with emotion: "I've been thinking about it since I came back, what will be the second half of your sentence?"

Leviathan said calmly: "You can find this place, which means you have already guessed what I want to do."

Todd changed his posture and began to dive towards the deep sea. Colorful jellyfish drifted slowly by his side, illuminating the entire deep sea like a paradise. Huge submarine buildings were built one after another, scattered and orderly on the continental shelf. The beautiful and graceful murlocs, seeing the black dragon getting closer to the underwater city, were so frightened that they fled around and tried to hide.

Staying above the bustling underwater city in front of him, Todd looked at the group of trembling murlocs in front of him and said, "Leviathan, you not only keep the souls of those murlocs in your soul space, you Also used the ability to materialize the soul, gave them physical bodies in the real world, and helped them rebuild their homes."

Leviathan's thunderous words came from afar: "Yes, I did. I never admit that those humans who live on land are creatures that I have participated in creating. They are greedy, Selfishness and lack of faith are synonymous with destruction and failure. The creatures in front of you are all survivors I have carefully selected from my own soul space, and they deserve the right to live!"

Todd scratched his neck with his dragon claws and shook his head helplessly.

In Todd's eyes, Leviathan's current behavior is completely like a mother who protects her child, and she cannot be persuaded with words.

Todd reminded: "You give them life again, which is tantamount to disobeying the original intention of Jingsu. Don't you worry that your creator will punish you?"

Leviathan's huge mountain-like body twisted continuously in the sea due to anger, and the water pressure triggered strong ocean currents and earthquakes, making the entire seabed look crumbling.

"Have you ever felt like this? Watching your beloved children being destroyed by a group of evil criminals, but you can't stand up to protect them... I have had enough of this kind of life! If Jing Su really thinks I interfered with its experiments, determined to destroy everything, so let him come!"

Todd swam to Leviathan, motioned it to calm down, and then said to him: "You and Scathach once gave me a mission, do you still have any memory?"

"Yes! We want you to find a way to allow different races to live in peace without triggering a war that will end everything!"

Todd nodded: "I have an idea about this matter now, but I need the help of you and Scathach."
