Book 6 Chapter 32.11 - Overture


    At the corner of the Panoramic View, an expanse of blue light specks was currently moving slowly, the area it covered gradually erging, moreover spreading into more than ten arrowheads. It represented the mechanical bug swarms that had just emerged from underground, currently being distributed while moving, ultimately splitting into more than twenty machine swarms that would be sent in different directions. The directions that the arrowheads were pointing towards, were mostly blind spots of information that were not illuminated yet. Due to the varying importance of missions, the sizes of the mechanical bug swarms also ranged from several hundred thousand to several million. This was a terrifying army this entire had never seen before!


    Wherever Serend’s eyes passed, the Panoramic View would be brighter and more transparent. However, the blind spots that were like dark blotches stubbornly rejected her gaze, especially the Blood Parliament where the darkness was so thick it was as if it possessed substance. Serend’s expression couldn’t help but be a bit ugly, and when her eyes passed over a certain dark spot, her face changed slightly. This was the Blood Parliament, and even as far as the entire human race’s restrictednd, also the ce the parliament used to lock up the most terrifying prisoners, the ce where Lafite spent more than ten years in.


    While watching the first wave of bug tide disperse in all directions, Serend slowly said, “Fitzdurk, are you sure this is what we must do?”


    “My dear Serend, have you not seen yourself? The first wave of purging bug tide has already set off. They are the overture for purging the entire. When they arepletely used up, an estimated over 90% of the great continent will be cleansed. At that time, our second wave, and even third wave army will be finished, and they willpletely wash away the obstinate filth. The only regretful thing is that the spatial structure here isn’t stable, three spatial furnaces already the limit of what this ce can handle. If I add even one more, the entire might be ripped apart by the damaged space, moreover form a giant ck hole here.” Fitzdurk replied.


    However, Serend’s worries didn’t seem to lessen in the slightest. “No, I am not doubting your ability to create an army, but rather feel that this’s environment is extremely strange. It should have alreadypletely sealed itself up several decades ago. Using the humans’nguage to describe it, this has already be a sealed experimental station, all creatures evolving at impossible speeds, evolution processes that require hundreds of millions to over a billion years of time toplete have been condensed into a trifling few decades. This ce is like a transparent experimental vessel, while all creatures have be white mice used for experimentation, all of them apart from us. Perhaps this is why we have be the target of all of the white mice’s attacks.”


    “This is indeed the case.” Fitzdurk expressed his agreement, but immediately afterwards, he said, “However, so what? No matter how strong white mice are, they will still be white mice. Meanwhile, we have already existed for an unimaginably long amount of time. Moreover, we must purge this ce, only through this method can we find the brain that has likely still not awakened. Of course, if we can find the general, then that would be even better.”


    “Do we have to wipe them out? Is there no way we can... change our methods?” Serend released a sigh. Both her current appearance and expression were those of a young human woman. “Even if they are originally only insignificant white mice, some of them have already be powerful individuals that can threaten us, there is no way this is something you are not aware of. Instead of taking risks like this, why don’t we just concentrate our power on breaking free of this prison and head into the cosmos’ depths? With Valha and my power, we can definitely break free from this imprisonment. Then...”


    “Then what? Flee until we reach the edge of the universe? Your n doesn’t sound bad, with Valha’spletion degree, short distance spatial leaps can still be aplished. Then, would the two of us spend several tens of thousands, or perhaps hundreds of thousands of years of time in the darkness? Ah, I forgot, there is also the sword, we are not two, but threepanions. She will wake up again in another hundred years or so at most, if we really are too lonely, I can forcefully wake her, only, that type of method... might make her feel unwell. However, Madeline shouldn’t mind it, because we are truerades.” Fitzdurk said with a tone of mockery.


    “What’s wrong with this? Isn’t this fine?” Serend retorted. In the apostle’s division ofbor, Fitzdurk’s peak fighting ability was the worst, but in return, he had iparable universal space adaptive ability, as well as intelligence second only to the brain. Thetter was supposed to be Serend’s domain, but due to certain unknown reasons, Serend yielded this position. It wasn’t because Fitzdurk insisted on it, but instead purely because of her own weakness.


    Fitzdurk clearly understood this point, and as such, he released a sigh and said, “Serend, you are less and less willing to use your thought centers. If this continues, you will be encumbered by your human body, your method of thinking will be as stupid as humans. Don’t tell me you never considered that with just us three, without the brain here, that everything ispletely useless? Flee? Where would we be able to flee to? And how long can we run for? Hundreds of thousands, millions, or is it hundreds of millions of years? Are we going to just drift through eternal darkness like insignificant bugs? This is the ultimate conclusion you wish for?”


    Serend thought for a bit. Right now, her speed of thinking, from an apostle standard, was intolerably slow, and even more so couldn’tpare to Fitzdurk’s who simultaneously controlled mechanical bugs in the tens of millions. However, she struggled to think, and then with ordinary human speech, said, “I can endure it.”


    “You can endure it?!” Fitzdurkughed coldly. “Just because you can endure it, you think we can endure it? Or is it to say that we have to apany you and endure it?! Serend, you can stick yourself in a pig-like body, but please don’t think with that pig-like brain! Even if you constructed just a few thought centers, you wouldn’t raise such a foolish question. I truly want to help you restore your apostle instincts.”


    “Feel free to try, if you can ept all of the consequences.” Serend still spoke through her own method, but this time, the contents contained a type of hidden viciousness.
