Soul of Burning Steel

The world of stars, the atrium star field, the atrium star.

Since the Void Mother Beast was wiped out in the Atrium Civilization Colony, located around the Garden of Flowers in the far-light galaxy, the Atrium Civilization, which was originally isolated in a corner of the universe, was quickly discovered and accepted by a huge galaxy-level civilization alliance , and the Atrium Star, which is just behind the battle line, has become one of the material transfer centers behind the alliance, and has undertaken 7.4% of the material transportation of the entire Federation East Star District.

The super-civilization alliance that calls itself the "Galaxy Guardian Alliance" has forces across several river systems, and its civilization exceeds 8,000, and this number is still increasing--the super civilization' life at the apex of all civilizations in the star world The custodian program' is the chairman of the alliance of the guardians of the galaxy. This is said to have been born tens of millions of years ago. The intelligent mechanical program complex manufactured by the ancient pioneer civilization originally did not interfere with the world. It was entrusted by the creator to 'protect all intelligence, regardless of They live peacefully in a barren galaxy, and continue to observe the entire star world.

The Creator who made them has disappeared in the long river of time, and the reason has been lost, but the immortal machinery still exists, and has been constantly self-correcting and self-growing while observing civilization. They should have stayed in their own galaxy so quietly until one day, the subsequent civilizations could discover their existence—but the evil god's invasion was beyond the expectations of these intelligent programs, and the custodian program who wiped out a fleet of evil gods' family fleet calculated and found , if they do not respond, then I am afraid that in the entire world, all civilizations in galaxies will usher in destruction.

So very soon, the custodian program that passed the final defense protocol broke away from the isolated state. They—or so they called it—had completely revised all their underlying programs, and the custodian program began to form alliances and began to lead many races to fight The evil god's defense operation.

[After calculation, we must unite, otherwise, all civilized life will be threatened by chaos. 】

The alliance has a history of more than 3,000 years, and the guardian alliance may have fought against the evil gods of chaos earlier than the people in the atrium built concrete houses. A collection of programs or something, it seems ironic - but it's not.

The "Triple Curtain", the central manager of the life custodian program, controls the collective will of all intelligent sub-individuals, and holds the strongest spiritual power in the known star world. It can even directly hear the "voice of the world" and communicate with the "voice of the world". Voice' communication, and make all kinds of incredible judgments that almost predict the future.

Some people even say that the "Triple Curtain" of the central manager is basically the agent of the will of the entire star world, so its every move is to better protect the world.

After being accepted into the Star River Guardian Alliance, the Atrium Civilization quickly joined this heavenly battle involving countless star fields and galaxies. The outstanding commander was exceptionally promoted and became the commander of the United Fleet, and the special biological fleet would also receive The transformation of other franchise civilizations has become faster and stronger than before. In the face of the chaos invasion that can destroy everything, there is no time for infighting and factional struggles. Of course, there are still idiots who want to hold others back. Sabotage from the rear, but as one might suspect, the custodial program dealt with the events in advance before these idiots did the sabotage.

All civilizations are smashed and crushed to become a larger individual. Those who are good at scientific research go to scientific research, and those who are good at war go to war. No matter what they are good at or what they are not good at, everyone has a place, even A guy who is useless, abandons himself, and thinks he is a waste can also wear power armor and perform mechanical repetitive physical labor.

Most of the people in the atrium, because of their natural psychic talent, accumulated experience brought by a long lifespan, have a corresponding resistance to chaos (this is especially important), and have a good brain, quickly became alliance members. Among the emerging races in the interior, many veterans who participated in the "Operation of the Far Light Star Field" or the "Battle of Plague Mother Beasts" more than ten years ago have become the main officers and even captains of various fleets and commandos ,commander.

But even so, even if it becomes an emerging race that is favored by many civilizations, even if the elite members of the clan gradually occupy high positions, even if the mother galaxy becomes one of the most important logistics and transportation bases of the entire alliance, enjoying the highest The level of security is guaranteed, but most of the atrium people don't feel so excited.

Because rights mean giving, and all the praises of others come from the bloody sacrifices of Zhongting people in the past ten years.

Atrium information, the third logistics material operation base, in the gray steel fortress, all kinds of strange-shaped aliens are walking back and forth, and outside the base, there are also various strange-shaped spaceships transporting back and forth, because this is the mother of the atrium people. Galaxy, so 80% of the staff at the base are atrium people like humanoid plants. They are busy and hardworking. The entire base needs to work in three shifts 24 hours a day. However, due to the increasing number of logistics personnel, the overtime hours are also increasing Many, gradually, everyone has to work more than 14 hours a day, and only a very short time is left for them to eat, rest, and deal with personal problems.

An atrium logistician with hair that looked like cauliflower, bulging like an afro was walking in the cafeteria. He carried his own plate and sat by the window. From this angle, we can see the huge vortex in the ocean of the mother star in the atrium, and the mother tree in the vortex that supports the world and connects the thinking of all the people in the atrium.

The existence of the mother tree is also one of the reasons for the rapid rise in the status of the Atrium people. Because they have a collective will psionic body similar to the "life-keeping program" central processor "triple curtain", the Atrium people are deliberately treated preferentially. The high-level members of the alliance, especially It is the "Life Custody Program", the chairman civilization, who wants to artificially cultivate a powerful psionic body similar to the "Triple Curtain" to fight against the increasingly fierce invasion of Chaos, so in various aspects, the Atrium People's Congress has given the green light to relax channels for obtaining resources.

In ten years, the cultivation has achieved initial results. With its own computing power alone, the mother tree of the Zhongting people has been able to undertake almost all the calculations of logistics tasks, and because of this, the logistics processing capabilities of the Zhongting people have become stronger and stronger.

Cauliflower Head doesn't pay much attention to these things. For this ordinary atrium logistics staff, driving a transport vehicle to help people transport supplies in a vacuum is not fundamentally different from driving a large truck on the planet. A little more dangerous... and of course, a higher paycheck. But most importantly, I’m afraid I’m still too tired. I have to work overtime for 14 hours every day. The cauliflower head has no spare time to think about anything else. Swallow numbly.

"Today's dinner is noodles... It's not bad. I really envy the first logistics base. It relies on the stars, the sun shines every day, and the supplies are abundant."

It's strange to say that recently, many transport ships have been fully loaded to go to the first logistics base, but not many ships have come out with a full load - you know, that is the supplies of each fleet, and the transfer base does not have such a large warehouse to store , it can't be consumption, even if the people in the first base are all idiots, there is no reason why they can consume so much.

But that's none of the business at Third Foundation—opening the plate, the head of cauliflower raised an eyebrow, and it felt good. Although the noodles are said to be noodles, they are essentially a strange and extraordinary plant. It is a solid nutrient made from the root of the plant named 'Stardust Tree'. It is easily absorbed and can increase a little spiritual power. Even people in the atrium can rely on pure epidermal absorption to absorb it, and then achieve the purpose of 'eating'.

Take out the chopsticks, this chopsticks are also made from the trunk of the stardust tree, and they can also be eaten. The head of cauliflower clamped the noodles and began to eat skillfully. You must know that the rest time of each logistics staff is fixed. The more time wasted eating, the less time is spent sleeping and contacting relatives.

The noodles taste good and are indeed very nutritious. Although the work is tiring and hard, the whole alliance is not stingy with the basic supplies. After all, what they have to face is the enemy of all orders. Before defeating the opponent, they can't start an internal rebellion first. Get up, randomly stuff the noodles into the mouthparts that have no digestive organs, and eat through systemic absorption, Cauliflower Head can't help but think of his sunny hometown in the southwest of Atrium Star.

It's been seven years... Since the mandatory service started seven years ago, I haven't been back to my hometown for seven years... He really misses his father, mother, and sister who is 120 years older than him, as well as Thirty seconds older brother.

And just when Cauliflower Head couldn't help recalling his hometown, suddenly, on the front of the cafeteria, on the big screen that was broadcasting the local news of Zhongtingxing, there was a blunt electric sound.

[Zi la... now there is an urgent news. 】

The original announcer from the atrium was quickly replaced by a thick reporter with long horns on her head, who looked like a tauren at a glance. She was standing on the bridge of a battleship, broadcasting the report with a serious expression: "Three missing contacts Months later, the mother galaxy of Tanya civilization returned to the alliance's field of vision again... The "Agni" emergency cleaning fleet with the most cutting-edge super heavy mothership has already gone to the front line. After the confirmation of the Agni fleet, a team just broke out of the encirclement of the "Great Roundabout Operation" The family of the plague evil god attacked the Tan Yamu galaxy."

"Regrettably, due to the roundabout operation, most of the fleets originally stationed in the Qin Yamu galaxy were transferred. The "Seventeenth Mixed Patrol Fleet" was all killed, and the 4.6 billion Tanya people living in the Qinya home planet died heroically... After the commander-in-chief of the fire cleaning fleet, the five-star fleet marshal 'Kedar' who was also a Tanya people confirmed that Tanya The Ya mother planet has been completely eroded and has become a breeding ground for the 'Plague Mother Beast', so through the 'Extinction Protocol', while completely destroying the Qin Ya mother planet, all remaining chaos in the entire galaxy will be eliminated."

"The success of the big roundabout operation has indeed temporarily curbed the spread of the mixed Chaos Familia coalition forces of the 'Plague Cthulhu', 'Famine Cthulhu' and 'Stagnation Cthulhu'. By exchanging battle damage, they directly destroyed the Chaos Clans calling for the Cthulhu's Eternal Void Anchor ', this is certainly a great strategic victory, but it cannot be denied that the roundabout battle has not wiped out the vitality of many Chaos Familia, and no matter how tight the encirclement net is, there will be various loopholes. Now it is not a cheering victory At this moment, the disaster suffered by the Tanya people is a disaster for all civilizations in the entire alliance. We must be alert to this serious mistake and strive to prevent similar incidents from happening again...a three-minute silence for the Tanya civilization."

Slap.

In the silent silence, there was a clear voice.

The chopsticks fell from his hands and fell on the dinner plate. The cauliflower head didn't hear the follow-up words clearly.

In fact, since all the '17th Mixed Patrol Fleet' were killed, Cauliflower Head's thinking has been in chaos.

"Sister... sister... brother..."

If he remembered correctly, the 17th Mixed Patrol Fleet was exactly the fleet his sister and brother served in.

Not only that, Tan Yaren was the first federation individual encountered by the Atrium people, and it was the other party who led the Atrium people into the big family of the Galaxy Guardian Alliance. The relationship between the two civilized officials is very good, and the fleet of the Atrium people often merge Into the fleet of the Tanya people, or vice versa, because the mother galaxy of the Tanya people is close to the front line, there are also many atrium soldiers who want to make contributions and choose to join the federal army in the Tanya area.

All... died in the line of duty...

Cauliflower Head blankly looked at the big screen that was mourning silently. He knew very well that he was not a material for war at all. Even if he believed in God, he was more inclined to believe in the Mother Tree and the Void Saint than in the past ten years or so. He has just manifested his sanctity, and the momentum is getting hotter. He claims to bless the war and bring victory to the 'God of Hell Radcliffe'.

He just muddled through as a support staff, and his sister and brother who wanted to show off and win glory for the clan, and those two sisters and brothers who had witnessed the mighty power of the God of Hell and sincerely believed in each other joined the army. He has been promoted all the way, and it is said that he has become the chief and deputy commander of the scouting brigade of the 17th patrol fleet.

All died in the line of duty...

To be honest, I haven't seen each other face to face in seven years, and I don't have any exaggerated encounters and memories in the same year. Cauliflower Head knows that he is just an ordinary person in an ordinary family. Although his sister and brother have a good relationship with him, they don't Especially close, since he moved out alone fifty years ago, we have rarely seen each other, not to mention the two ends of the galaxy behind, and even communication is troublesome-how can there be so many close brothers and sisters in reality? After separation, they are just ordinary relatives, at most a little bit closer.

all dead.

He shouldn't have been sad... At least, he thought, there was no need to be so, so sad.

Cauliflower head lowered his head, looked at the noodles on the dinner plate, his eyes were blank... He originally thought that he would not be very sad, very sad, because he knew that sooner or later, when those two guys joined the army, Such a day—where are there ever-invincible armies, where are there ever-immortal men? Especially when he refused the invitation of his elder sister and brother and insisted on staying in the mother galaxy as a logistics manager, the two sides had a big fight. The other party reprimanded him as a coward, while he mocked the other party as a short-lived ghost.

Picking up the chopsticks tremblingly, the cauliflower head continued to eat, the silence was only three minutes, and the rest time would still be counted as usual, there was no reason to delay myself for others.

But it wasn't until he was seated next to a person from the atrium, and he was kindly reminded by the other party, that Cauliflower Head realized that his chopsticks didn't catch noodles at all, and what he ate just now were chopsticks.

Until this time, he collapsed on the table as if he had collapsed.

——The people in Zhongting have a long lifespan, and the time span of hundreds of years is only two generations.

No one has contacted me for seven years. At most, I have been busy for a few months and forgot to call home. No one takes it seriously.

The head of cauliflower has always felt that the time is very long, very long, and the people in the atrium have plenty of time, so there is no need to be in such a hurry to contact... Until this time, the leaves all over the head were seeping cooling fluid, and the man who started crying until this time realized that he was originally I thought I didn't care about it, but simply felt that the time was very long, that there were opportunities to contact, and that there would always be a day in the future when I and my loved ones could wait for a good time to sit down and chat, slowly clear up the misunderstanding, and start to relax and be happy again Life.

Just like those ordinary days in the past hundreds of years.

But time waits for no one.

There are not so many 'ifs', so many 'thoughts', and so many 'thinks'.

"God...God..."

He knows that God has no reason to be everyone's nanny, and there is no reason to do anything for people. He knows that God is just a sign, representing a path that should be followed, and a representative of order, but the cauliflower head still can't bear it. He clenched his fists, he gritted his teeth, and stopped the 'tears'. The former logistician who was greedy for stability clenched his fists. He raised his head and looked at the top of the big screen in the cafeteria. The three hanging in the center of the lobby One of the holy emblems, 'Φ' shape, represents the holy emblem of the 'God of Hell'.

"I... want to fight."

There is no resentment, no anger, the people of the courtyard are a spiritual civilization like plants, even in the face of death and sorrow, farewell and despair, they can still face them calmly, make enemies with them calmly, and then face death calmly .

But—even so, no matter how brave and enlightened the Zhongting people are, sometimes they can't help it.

Can't help it, go to pray.

And right now.

Just at this very moment.

A bright light erupted from the two poles of the stars in the atrium parent galaxy, and the two incomparably bright silver lights were like two spears, spreading endlessly towards the dark cosmic vacuum.

The star rotates and rotates slowly, and as it rotates slowly, an incomparable, unbelievably huge amount of energy begins to be drawn from the core of the star—it can be seen that there are thirty-six layers of incomparably spectacular chains. A huge silver ring circle emerges from nothingness, flickering and jumping like electrons surrounding the nucleus, the circle circle and the poles of the star burst out of light, forming an extremely huge, star-level 'Φ' Shaped as a holy symbol, it rapidly drains the star's energy and sends it into the void beyond worlds.

"This, what is this?!"

Even Cauliflower Head was shocked by this scene. Even in the distant space base, he could clearly see the mutation in the distant stars, even though the mutation had occurred for nearly ten minutes: "The first logistics base What are people doing!?"

The answer is actually very simple.

That is sacrifice.

——Sacrificing in ancient times, by sacrificing something, in exchange for the gaze of a great being... or descending.

Dozens of days of preparing supplies, dumping enough resources to determine the victory or defeat of a huge battle, even at the cost of a star, a star in the central galaxy where the supplies are running, the people of the atrium made an unprecedented gamble without hesitation .

And they won the bet.

The silver ripples shake the world. As the central star becomes smaller and loses more and more mass energy, the bright silver light becomes brighter and brighter, and even completely replaces the original brilliance of the star—an incomparably huge The hole, a crack that seems to lead to the distant end of time and space, slowly appeared in the center of the star, and began to expand, swallowing the mass of the star.

"Confirm the 'horizon signal.'"

"The 'Dawn Node' is in place."

"'Mystery Node' is in place."

"The 'Ring Node' is in place."

In the huge steel base above the stars, in front of a huge crystal ball, the most powerful psychic in the atrium, Mir Habs, calmly determined whether each node was ready, and after confirming that everything was complete, he Taking a deep breath, his calm expression began to shatter. This powerful psychic who had no leaves on his head pressed his hands on the crystal ball, and endless silver-blue aura burst out from his body!

He almost gritted his teeth and roared angrily: "Recharge, open—'Abyss of Tomorrow'!"

"Open! Abyss of Tomorrow!"

The harmony of countless people sounded, and at the same time, countless points of light bloomed at the same time-hundreds of billions of light beams, flying from every corner of the entire galaxy, and then gathered in the stars.

On the shrinking star, the spiritual energy focusing ring project has been completed, and the super-speed cohesive filling circle is online. The energy of the star is absorbed, squeezed, and then turned into a virtual singularity. Under the echo of the great existence at the far end, it opens like The abyss-like gate of time and space—but now, everything is on track, the star is rapidly extinguishing, not only at the core, but almost all the fuel in the entire star is artificially focused and burned.

It can be seen that the interior of this hollow seems to reflect the distant stars, and the distorted light phantom appears in this hollow, like the bright and indifferent eyes of the giant god. The pupil of the giant god is deep, as if it is the place where everything dies. The endless abyss of Naraku.

And the brilliance of countless atrium psykers drew countless arcs in the darkness. They converged and converged into one body, and then sank into the abyss, drawing the existence from the other end.

——Unprecedented in history, even surpassing the "Eternal Void Anchor Point" of the Familiars of the Evil Gods, the largest and craziest "Void Gate" summoning ceremony in the history of the Star World, the plan calmly called "Abyss of Tomorrow" by all plan participants, a success It can be seen that a star has been gradually sacrificed, swallowed by the dark void, and the brilliance illuminating the star universe has disappeared, causing the darkness to spread in the galaxy.

However, a brand new, dazzling silver light appeared, illuminating everything.

——Exchange today's sun for tomorrow's light, and use present darkness for tomorrow's hope.

——If you can't win and ascend to heaven, then let's fall together into the abyss called the future.

It can be seen that under this huge energy fluctuation, the space trembles like cloth in the wind, the entire galaxy dims, and then brightens again. In the center of the abyss-like black time-space rift that swallowed stars, a huge silver star phantom appears After reaching the original position of the sun, he began to slowly materialize and travel through, as if swimming out of the distant sea and landing on the shore.

The entire galaxy, all sensors, all communication devices and observation circles were shut down one by one, a huge amount of incomparably complicated information and a huge gravitational force suddenly appeared, almost throwing out all the planets for the whole week , I can hear countless people screaming and praying at the mother star in the atrium—but the huge gravitational force quickly disappeared, as if it had never appeared before, and at the same time, a silver perfect sphere just like this It replaced the original stars of the Atrium people and governed the operation of the entire galaxy.

He gently radiates light, illuminating the dark vacuum.

At this moment, the people in the atrium heard it. They heard the voice of the man whom they regarded as a god.

"Do you still have the courage?

Is there any hope?

If you are going to fight for tomorrow, grab your arms now. "

Cauliflower Head heard it, the Atrium people heard it, all members of the Guardians of the Galaxy Alliance, all intelligent, intelligent beings, everything.

They heard the horns of desolation, they heard the drums of war, they heard whispers and encouragement, resounding in all sad nights and desperate dreams.

"We will open up the future with the faith in our hearts, and smash the doomsday with the weapons in our hands!"

——Burning life, burning anger.

— at this very moment.
