Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 249 Greedy and violent space behemoth

In the dark and obscure vertical snake pupils, the color of the entire universe is reflected.

The dark and dead universe, the gorgeous nebula, the countless stars... everything is reflected on the smooth surface of the huge pupil, as if the entire universe is contained in its pupil.In front of the too huge deep ocean, the small spaceship not far from the pupil is not even dust.

"Emergency Procedures...Escape...Passengers please prepare for an emergency..."

No matter how surprised the middle-aged people are at the moment, the highly intelligent spaceship AI has judged the danger, and the sub-light speed engine with a maximum speed of 1/2 light is starting at the highest speed, trying to stay away from this space monster that is very dangerous at first glance. .

In just a breath, the spacecraft has escaped millions of kilometers, but this distance, not to mention the solar system with a gravitational range of more than 2 light years, is like ants crawling in front of this behemoth of hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

Although human beings have discovered the subspace waterway network, which can carry out superluminal navigation in disguise, but trying to navigate through the subspace is limited by many conditions.

The huge gravitational force caused by stars is like a well on the space-time level, dragging everything nearby into it. Near this huge gravitational well, it is impossible for this ornamental spaceship to break free from the shackles of cosmic space and escape through the subspace. of.

However, the giant snake didn't seem to notice them, but slowly stretched its body in space.The huge and long snake body unfolded, and then the long tail of tens of thousands of miles swayed gently, as if swimming in the vast space, and flew towards the sun not far away.

"It... doesn't seem to notice us."

The young man stared closely at the huge monster. Fear and tension made his mind fluctuations more unstable. This unstable mind fluctuation also appeared in other companions.Almost instantly, the excessive mental tremor among the crowd was detected by the spacecraft AI.

"Psychic protection program...Psychic stability spray release..."

Inside the spaceship, a mist with a delicate fragrance was released, soothing the restlessness of spiritual energy.

One of the downsides of being a psyker is this.

Too keen perception of the mind makes psykers easily affected by the emotions of others.Therefore, regarding the issue of out-of-control spiritual energy, the entire human world has been studying this for almost a thousand years.

The psychic stability spray that can work through skin contact is indeed very effective. The young man whose mind was unstable because of staring at the giant snake quickly settled down, and the fear in his heart faded away. At this time, he paid attention to another thing .

When they saw the giant snake, everyone's emotions were highly unstable, but among them, the most disturbed were the middle-aged people.

When he saw the giant snake breaking out of the planet, his emotions were not only fear, but also a kind of inconceivability and surprise, and his reaction was particularly strong.It was as if what he thought was impossible had happened.

"Why are you so surprised? Do you know something?"

The young man asked hurriedly.

With the help of the mist, the middle-aged man's mood stabilized a little, and then his expression was a little complicated.

"I... I am very interested in the history of the pre-Galaxy era, so I searched a lot of things in this area, including some very obscure ancient relics. On a stone tablet on Hope Star, a person who claimed to be a descendant of an ancient organization Wrote some pretty grotesque stories."

"He said that his ancestors were once a member of a mysterious organization that existed in the ancient earth era. This ancient organization existed in the pre-galactic calendar 3500 years ago. At that time, human beings were still using iron and did not even have thermal weapons. Appeared. This organization kept a secret for generations, and was called the Priory by insiders. The Priory of Halfway was also destroyed, but it was also rebuilt. It was not until the interstellar age that this ancient organization gradually died out. His ancestors only Something I know. Pass it on to future generations as a story."

"Many things mentioned on the stone tablet are very bizarre, but one thing impressed me deeply. The stone tablet said that the original planet of origin of human beings was actually a big snake that entangled itself. The big snake fell asleep, and the dust on its body turned into the earth. , the stagnant water became the sea, and the foggy water formed the sky, and then there was life and reproduction... The people of the monastery firmly believed in this, and kept this secret for generations. And the person in power of the overlord is the monastery The leader of the society, the reason why he bombed the important territory of his own power is also to destroy this big snake..."

The fluctuations in his mind froze for a moment, and the middle-aged man stared at the giant snake swimming in space with an incredulous expression on his face.

"I have no impression of the other bizarre stories on the stele, but I am deeply impressed by this story, because this story is unexpectedly connected with the mystery of the destruction of the earth that I am interested in."

"And when I saw this big snake, I immediately thought of this story... Could it be that the illusory story will also become a reality?"

The middle-aged man shook his head, as if he still didn't want to believe what he saw.

"Whether it's an illusory story or not, the giant snake has woken up now, and we should find a way to get out now."

The young man comforted, and at the same time, he looked at the spaceship AI.

"How long will we be able to reach the subspace jump boundary?!"

At the bow of the spaceship, the built-in spaceship AI is shining brightly. According to the regulations handed down after the AI ​​out of control war, the AI ​​must always display its own state to prevent logic errors.In front of the young man, the flickering light proves that the AI ​​of the spaceship is operating efficiently.

"3672 seconds."

AI replied.

At this moment, the AI ​​system of the entire spacecraft has been mobilized to strictly monitor the trace of the space monster.However, the 1/2 light speed engine loaded on the spaceship was not born for war, but for interstellar travel. Maybe some military spaceships can force subspace jump to escape even in the gravity well, but this spaceship can’t, it must be in a Subspace jumps can only be performed in areas where the gravitational influence is small and the space-time structure is smooth and stable.

Even if it is advancing at the highest speed, it is very difficult for this spaceship to get out of danger.

"For a whole galaxy..."

The young man gritted his teeth.

Right now, it seems that they can only see if fate is on their side.

"Look! What is that big snake doing?"

Suddenly, a companion's heart wave came, and the young man looked up, and saw a scene that was enough to shock everyone...

On that huge star with a diameter of 140 million kilometers, numerous solar prominences of hundreds of thousands of miles are erupting abnormally, and the solar matter with huge heat is being violently formed.But a huge monster hundreds of thousands of miles long is crawling on the surface of the star, opening its mouth wide, devouring the energy from the star.

That huge body can still be clearly seen on the stars even though they are separated by hundreds of millions of kilometers.

Huge monsters swam around the stars as if they were swimming on them.From time to time, it opened its mouth wide, greedily devouring the solar prominences that are undergoing violent eruptions and whose scale is almost comparable to that of a planet, and devouring the matter on the stars.

"Unbelievable... Can biological structures resist the heat of stars?"

Among the companions, someone shook his head subconsciously, obviously feeling the huge shock.

With the development of the interstellar era, human beings have an extremely deep understanding of the physical world. At the temperature of the sun, no known substance can not be melted, not even the stars themselves.

A star is a nuclear fusion furnace that is undergoing thermonuclear reactions all the time. There is no entity inside, but countless highly dense atoms, too dense and thick heat, force, and particles.This kind of density makes it difficult for even photons to pass through it. If a photon wants to go from the center of this nuclear fusion furnace and break through millions of kilometers of dense particles all the way to the outside of the sun, it will take 10 years.

No matter can sustain itself on a star.

Even if interstellar humans can enter the interior of stars, they do not rely on pure matter as a shield, but rely on force fields, relying on invisible and substanceless "forces", and use invisible force fields to resist the internal pressure and temperature of stars.

It is simply impossible for delusions to rely on tangible and qualitative substances to resist this temperature, let alone biological structures.

However, the scene in front of him broke the cognition of interstellar humans. Relying on the seemingly primitive scales, the huge giant snake is actually swimming above the stars?

"No, it didn't withstand the temperature of the stars, so look carefully."

The young man decisively denied this, but reminded his companions.

In the sight of the young man, he could clearly see that the giant snake's scales were rapidly melting under the high temperature of the stars, but the problem was that the giant snake's scales were rapidly regenerating, so it seemed to have no effect... No, it's not just the scales that are regenerating!Its body is reshaping too!
Among the information fed back by the prosthetic eye, the size of the already unbelievably huge snake is still expanding rapidly!

80 million kilometers...

90 million kilometers...

100 million kilometers...

200 million kilometers...

300 million kilometers...

……

Those old scales melted under the temperature of the star, but the new scales were bigger and denser, and their resistance to the temperature of the star was also increasing.In the end, when the giant snake's body can coil around the entire star, the scales are still intact in the hot plasma. No matter how scorched and impacted by the star, it can only make the dark scales more shiny.

"Not good! This star is about to explode!"

Suddenly, someone was startled.

In the data of everyone's prosthetic eye, they can clearly see the fluctuations in heat. Just now, the intensity and heat changes of the stars are rising sharply, and they are obviously in a state of high instability.

A large amount of matter has been plundered, making the star's surface layer unable to sustain at all, the external pressure is weakened, and the huge internal pressure is about to be released.

It is foreseeable that soon, this star with a high degree of thermonuclear reaction inside will be unable to maintain, and then all the matter will completely erupt, just like a dying red giant star, no, even more dangerous than that red giant star.

The pressure inside the red giant is reduced, and then the outside expands outward. This expansion can last for tens of thousands of years; but right now, the star is detonating from the inside.

It can be said that the sun at this moment has completely turned into a bomb, which is about to explode.

How powerful will this explosion be?No one wants to calculate anymore, anyway, it is impossible for this spaceship to escape.

"Ruined……"

Desperate heart fluctuations permeated the air.

However, the giant snake wrapped around the star moved.

The huge body that has grown to millions of miles is hovering on the surface of the star, wandering, entangled in circles, the tight body forcibly hugs the star, and even dims the brightness of the entire galaxy, because of that The snake's body is so tightly entangled that no light can break free from it.

Since it was because the external pressure had decreased, it would be fine as long as it was forcibly restrained again.

"What is it doing?"

The young man was at a loss.

He didn't understand what the huge monster in front of him was doing, as long as it loosened a little bit, the entire star would explode instantly, there was no other possibility.Is it intended to circle the star forever?
"It...it's eating."

This time, the middle-aged man spoke.

Excessive surprise even made him speak instead of using mind fluctuations to convey information.

His pupils were full of shock.

Middle-aged people are very curious about the history of the pre-galactic era, and know many creatures of the pre-galactic era.In the ancient earth era, snakes liked to restrain their prey by strangling, and then swallowed the prey into their stomachs.

But right now, what is bound by this giant snake is a huge star with a diameter of 140 million kilometers!
On the hot star, the huge snake body is wrapped around this huge celestial body, as if it is restraining its prey and preventing it from breaking free.

Opening the mouth of the abyss, the star shining with billions of brilliance and illuminating everything within these few light-years was suddenly bitten, and the star's soaring brilliance even surpassed what anyone could see before it died, as if it was facing a neutron star. The ray burst is average.

Under the watchful eyes of all the interstellar humans in the spaceship, in the vast universe, the giant snake that is thousands of miles long raised its head, and the sun was in its mouth.

The star blew out its last violent brilliance in the mouth of the huge giant snake, faintly about to explode, but the brilliance gradually moved down, then disappeared, and there was no sound.Thus, the star was completely swallowed up.
