Chapter 71 - 71: Racial Mysophobia
The galaxy was not always so peaceful. Every once in a while, something that caught the attention of the entire Milky Way would happen.
For example, now, all the interstellar civilizations in the Milky Way had just received this message, including the lost empire:
“Alien scum, are you ready for the purification from Pegchitti? Even from thousands of miles away, we can still smell the disgusting stench on the bodies of you dirty races. We will kill you mercifully and bring peace, justice, morality, and happiness to the Milky Way!”
These arrogant and humiliating words instantly caused the interstellar civilizations to explode. However, it was not out of anger, but out of curiosity.
No one understood how this self-proclaimed Pegchitti species dared to do something that was equivalent to declaring war on the entire galaxy.
The Lost Empire naturally received the news as well. Someone sighed helplessly, “It’s starting again. I originally thought that after they were locked in the barrier, they would stop a little. I didn’t expect that nothing had changed…”
“That’s the case with the racial mysophobia. However, we don’t need to do anything this time…”
Pegchitti was a reptile civilization with “racial mysophobia”.
They were a group of extreme racists.
In their eyes, the Pegchitti race was the treasure of the universe, the most supreme species in the universe.
All other species were biological trash, pests of the universe, and targets that needed to be purified.
This kind of racism was deeply ingrained in their genes. Even if they were facing the Lost Empire, as long as the other party was not from the Pegchitti race, they would spit out and curse, “Alien scum!”
In a certain era in the past, this group of racists who stirred up trouble in the Milky Way had destroyed many species and were eventually punishment by the “Observer”.
The Observer, who always liked to “watch”, destroyed the Pegchitti interstellar space empire and drove the remaining Pegchitti to a planet before using the “Angel of Peace”.
After all, the Observer hated the genocidal acts the most. Of course, they wouldn’t do such a thing themselves, even if the other party was a group of genocidal racists.
“Angel of Peace” was a special planet-destroying weapon. It would form a planetary barrier that was completely impenetrable and indetectable from the outside, trapping the species on the planet to death.
However, after a long period of time, the barrier had begun to loosen. In the end, it was still removed by the Pyro Alliance from the outside.
Li Wenyuan, who was still in the circular world, and Gray Wind, who was beside him, also received the news from Pegchitti.
“This message looks like it was mass sent. Did you receive it?” he asked about Gray Wind, and Gray Wind gave him a positive answer.
He wasn’t angered. He just felt that there was another weirdo in the Milky Way. After his experiences with the natives of the circular world, he felt that whatever happened in the Milky Way was very reasonable.
The Milky Way is so big. Of course there would be a few weirdoes.
Therefore, he did not take this matter to heart. He only aimed an observation device at the galaxy where Pegchitti was located and continued to do his own thing.
However, it was not the case for some civilizations near Pegchitti, and the Pyro Alliance was particularly furious.
When the spaceship they used to unlock the barrier realized what was locked within the Angel of Peace, they left the galaxy immediately, closely avoiding a disaster.
However, they still felt pained by the treatment they had received.
“We freed you from your cage, and this is how you repay our kindness?” the Pyro Alliance questioned Pegchitti, only to be ignored.
Pegchitti didn’t even bother to check the message from the Pyro Alliance. Instead, they focused on building their own space fortress in the galaxy. A large number of battleships flew out from their planet. It seemed that they had been holding back for a long time.
The Pyro Alliance, who had been ignored, felt even more aggrieved. They could even hear the gloating voices of the Mingbow Technology Nation.
At this moment, they felt like clowns for removing the barrier.
Therefore, the Pyro Alliance immediately declared a state of war, vowing to regain their dignity from Pegchitti. The reason for the war was: Humiliation!
This civilization, which had been struggling to survive since the aboriginal era, finally revealed its strength for the first time.
Although the Pyro Alliance had been helping various native civilizations, the strength of their fleet had always been unknown.
Even though there were many civilizations that had conflicts with the Pyro Alliance, none of them started a war because they didn’t have intel on the strength of the Pyro Alliance’s fleet.
And this time, the war between the Pyro Alliance and Pegchitti broke out under the watchful eyes of everyone.
“Wait, that’s a Titan Battleship? I remember that the Pyro Alliance has only been a part of the galaxy for less than fifty years, right? Where did they get the Titan from?”
Among the civilizations watching the battle, a diplomat from a certain civilization could not help but voice his doubts.
They saw a huge ancient battleship leading a group of small spaceships at the edge of the galaxy and engaging in battle with the fleet of Pegchitti.
Although the design was difficult to distinguish, judging from the size and the power of the main cannon, that large battleship should be a Titan Battleship without doubt.
Not every civilization could build such a battleship. Its complex technical requirements had already dissuaded many civilizations.
In addition, it required a huge amount of resources to build. Even if they already had the technology, most civilizations would prefer to use these resources to build more practical small battleships instead of building a large battleship that was more symbolic than practical.
In Milky Way, other than the Lost Empire, there were only a handful of civilizations with Titan Battleships.
Then, where did the Pyro Alliance’s Titan Battleship come from?
At this moment, a civilization that specialized in archeology spoke.
Their chief archaeologist analyzed seriously, “I’ve seen this type of battleship in a ruin before. It was a popular model of an interstellar civilization about 200,000 years ago.”
“And look, although this Titan Battleship is big, there are obvious signs of aging in many places. Some parts that look very uncoordinated are obviously because the parts here are missing. The Pyro Alliance installed their own weapons in replacement.”
“In other words, this Titan Battleship isn’t as powerful as a real Titan Battleship. I strongly suspect that this is an old-fashioned battleship that the Pyro Alliance found in some ruins, and not one that they built themselves.”
After the explanation, all the civilizations were enlightened. The more they looked at it, the more they felt that the Titan Battleship of the Pyro Alliance was not very good. It was being chased by a group of frigates.
But even so, there were still some civilizations who said in jealousy, “What a lucky civilization. Why can’t we have such lucky encounters? What we dug out from the ruins were either a bunch of broken robots or dangerous items that could blow up the planet…”
In response to his words, the diplomat from another civilization, who had long disliked them, retorted, “We want to find a relic too, but we don’t even have a place to dig. You dog, there are more than ten relics in your country. Aren’t you satisfied?”
“Okay, that’s enough. The Pyro Alliance has been saving the native civilizations for many years and has done good deeds. Perhaps we should consider changing our policy towards the natives…”
While the civilizations were still reflecting on their actions, they did not notice that the Pyro Alliance was already showing signs of decline in the war.
Even though their battleships were rushing to attack the galaxy, Pegchitti’s combat skills were superb.
Having destroyed many civilizations in the past, the Pyro Alliance, which had just started their first interstellar war, was naturally no match for them in space warfare, even if the Pyro Alliance had a Titan Battleship that was almost as powerful as the real Titan.
In the end, after several months of war, the Pyro Alliance had no choice but to announce that they would make a comeback in the future and then retreat dejectedly.
After that, the mysophobia race began their rapid expansion and soon occupied a rather large starfield.
They vowed to make the galaxy “clean”, but unfortunately, there was a civilization nearby that had similar thoughts as them, and had chosen them as the second species to be destroyed since the birth of their consciousness.
The steel fleet that was flashing with a metallic luster shuttled through space. Below them was a half-modified mechanical planet.
Countless robots that were moving corpses looked up at the sky. Their cold mechanical eyes were shining with a scarlet light.
A large number of signals were transmitted in the galaxy, and finally condensed into one sentence:
“Flesh and blood will die, and only metal will last forever..”
