Chapter 177 - 177: You’ve Succeeded
Unlike the idle talk in the Pyro Alliance, the fleet under Li Wenyuan’s control was pushing the destruction of the Civilization Annihilator at an unusually urgent speed.
It was not that he felt threatened and had to accelerate, but that he wanted to see what other tricks the Civilization Annihilator could come up with.
Based on his current experience, it seemed that all the lost empires were related to humans.
He didn’t know what kind of truth could make this lost empire awaken into a lunatic, wanting to drag the Milky Way to commit suicide.
However, he felt that it must be related to some secret of theirs, and this secret was about to be exposed as the pressure he brought became tighter and tighter.
At this moment, on the mother planet of the Civilization Annihilator, the activation of the Reality Penetrometer was only one step away.
They knew that the Administrator was still one hyperspace navigation trip away from their parent galaxy, and the superluminal suppressors and the stalling fleets had already tried their best to stop the Administrator.
Right now, there was only the last guardian fleet left in their parent galaxy.
This was also their hope of turning the tables. They would use the Reality Penetrometer to strengthen this fleet, and then destroy all the Administrator fleets under the watchful eyes of the Milky Way civilization.
They were already going crazy, and they wanted to see the expressions of the civilizations in the Milky Way when they saw the hope shattered.
“Here it is,” a high-level member of the Civilization Annihilator suddenly said.
He was the commander-in-chief of all the fleets. The Guardian fleet that was currently stationed here was the last fleet under his control.
This fleet had already been equipped with the lowest level of combat systems, and the effects of the suppression field had been reduced as much as possible. Therefore, they were able to detect the arrival of the Administrator fleet.
“That’s the time. We have been waiting for this moment for so long… 1 hope that those little fellows won’t commit collective suicide because of despair.”
The other higher-up in charge of the activation revealed a ferocious expression. He had never felt so aggrieved before. Right now, he only wanted to beat up the Administrator.
As the sound of energy transmission rang out, the Reality Penetrometer wrapped in the red field began to slowly rotate.
Between the fluctuations, a large number of complex values were displayed on the operation interface.
This was the pattern that could be changed by the Reality Penetrometer. The peek at the truth was located in the most conspicuous position.
But now, what they wanted to touch was the other readings.
Although they didn’t know exactly what the Reality Penetrometer could do, they could still summarize the meaning of some readings from the few activation records.
By combining different readings, they could achieve the desired effect after the wish.
This time, they chose the 300th level.
This was their pride that belonged only to the Awakened Empire, and it was also evidence that they firmly believed that they were the orthodox ones of the Enlightened Ones.
This great technology that could allow them to advance infinitely was left behind by the Enlightened Ones. They felt that only the Enlightened Ones could achieve such a miracle.
In the past long period of time, they had spent a lot of energy and effort to make this cycle go through 10 levels.
But in the process of the cycle, they had solved countless mysteries that once troubled them and obtained incredible gains.
They thought that they had reached the end, but the miracle of the Enlightened Ones told them how terrifying the concept of never-ending was.
Even if the pseudo-cycle that the Reality Penetrometer had achieved for them could only last for a short while, it was enough for them to destroy the lost robotic empire.
“I originally wanted to get along with you guys as an ordinary person… But there’s nothing we can do. Since you want to hinder us so much, I’ll let you see the power of the Enlightened Ones…”
“And we are the orthodox of the Enlightened Ones!”
The higher-ups of this Civilization Annihilator had terrifying smiles on their faces, and their muscles were trembling in the Milky Way.
They had already seen the destruction of the Administrator, and they would be revered by all living beings as the Enlightened Ones.
The moment the Reality Penetrometer was activated, the entire galaxy seemed to have fallen into a momentary stagnation.
Even the most precise atomic clock would find it hard to detect such a stagnation, but Li Wenyuan’s own atomic clock had been precisely shifted by one bit, as if it had not been affected at all.
However, the lifeforms instinctively sensed that something was wrong. The leader of the Pyro Alliance was still talking about their future plans.
“So we’ll see later, the Administrator… Remember…”
His voice was inexplicably interrupted for a moment. Although the words that followed were still coherent under his instincts, there was a strange sense of dissonance.
He also stopped talking and looked around with the others, not knowing what was going on.
This abnormal interruption only lasted for a short while, and then the universe continued to operate as if nothing had happened.
However, the effect of this skill had already been applied at this time.
The fleet of the Civilization Annihilator did not seem to have changed, but the operators could clearly feel that an indescribable amount of energy was being added to these battleships.
Their shields and armors were already so powerful that they could be described as terrifying. With such a level of protection, they felt that even if they collided head-on with a star, it would not have much of an impact.
Apart from that, the energy gathered in the main cannons of their ships had also undergone a qualitative leap.
In the past, they had needed the help of the Colossus to completely destroy a planet, but now they felt that they could even destroy a star directly with these main cannons!
“Is this the feeling of being invincible?”
The soldiers who had been suppressed since the beginning of the war and had to remove their excretory organs through genetic means to prevent them from peeing on the battlefield felt that the moment of revenge was right in front of them.
“It is our duty to rebuild the glory of the Civilization Annihilator!”
“So, the Administrator, prepare for our wrath!”
These warriors rubbed their fists and looked at the place where the Administrator fleet was through the enhanced sensors. Just as they were about to say something, they were shocked by the strange scene in front of them.
“Those, those are?”
They were not the only ones who were shocked. Even the upper echelons of the Civilization Annihilator who were watching the battle were looking at the strange scene in space transmitted by the sensors in disbelief.
What originally belonged to the Administrator fleet was now a group of blurry and strange mosaics.
It wasn’t quite accurate to call it a mosaic. At least, in Li Wenyuan’s eyes, his spaceship didn’t have any physical changes.
However, he did notice something unusual. He was very sensitive to every bit of energy flow in every battleship, and the abnormality that had appeared was very obvious.
The energy flowing around his battleship had multiplied countless times. The energy was so huge that it interfered with the normal operation of the sensors, and they could only detect a blob of mosaic.
Under the strengthening of the energy, the shield had become almost tangible, blocking the normal transmission of light. Even with the naked eye, one could only see a dazzling color block.
The abnormality was very abnormal, but Li Wenyuan still found the source of the abnormality. Through the Tiangang Battleship that had been in the subspace, he saw the source of the phenomenon.
It was a dense sphere that was in operation. It looked very familiar. So familiar that there were records in the database.
[ Curtain Penetrometer (Prototype) ]
[ Introduction: A poor prototype that was not mass-produced in time. Although it was claimed to be an instrument used to test the confidentiality of the Curtain, it was actually a product of the Creation Theory. It could only produce an incredibly powerful effect in certain special environments. Under normal circumstances, it was just a useless little ball. The Curtain is already perfect. Please use it with caution. ]
[ Special Remarks: The agreement is in effect. ]
This was a completely different piece of information from the data extracted from the planet’s archives.
Perhaps it was just as the record said, the Curtain Penetrometer recorded in the archives was a lost and found record, and the record he had now was the record of the machine itself.
“What the hell, so the lucky person who picked this thing up is the Civilization Annihilator…”
Although he had some guesses about their actions, Li Wenyuan still felt a sense of dullness after he found out.
Along with the records of the device, there were also all the records of the Civilization Annihilator during its use, including what they said.
“You guys are the orthodox Enlightened Ones?” When he heard this, he even felt like laughing.
If the humans knew that they had such a useless and arrogant successor, they would probably laugh out loud, right?
“Although I don’t have the heart to shatter your fantasies, you should at least dream with some evidence…”
He manipulated the fleet that had been temporarily strengthened by the Curtain Penetrometer and launched the final attack on the Civilization Annihilator.
The Civilization Annihilator had fallen into deep self-doubt at the moment. Their fleets were destroyed before they could even organize a decent resistance.
They had already discovered that those mosaic-like things were actually the Administrator fleet that had been strengthened countless times.
This amplification was different from their enhancement effects. It was an exponential increase in power.
It was obvious that the effect of 300 layers of circulation had also appeared on the Administrator, and the other party’s circulation was much stronger than theirs.
This was something that they had never encountered before. They had tested it on ships from other civilizations, and none of them were affected by the Reality Penetrometer.
At that time, they even felt that they were the Chosen Ones, the civilization chosen by the Enlightened Ones.
But now, this fantasy was shattered. A guess that had appeared before but was subconsciously denied once again appeared in their minds.
Could it be that the Administrator was the chosen civilization of the
Enlightened Ones, and they were just a bunch of idiots who were constantly fantasizing?
