Honkai, they all became my stigmata

Chapter 21

Shoot down the Rangers, and the Rabbit boards the boat

After roaming along the river of time for a long time, you will also encounter these malicious guys.

Honkai is not the only thing that plagues civilization.

In addition to those worlds that were destroyed by the collapse, occasionally, you can also meet some lonely survivors after the destruction of civilization.

In fact, Yuexia Chuyong and Original Sin Hunter can probably be counted as this type, and the Shoggoths he met when he helped Youlandelle solve the problem of the world bubble in her body before, also existed in the same way.

However, according to his knowledge of the Shoggoths, it was not Honkai who destroyed their original homeland, but the people in the sky—a group of interstellar civilizations that hunted Honkai energy.

In short, what this Sky City is encountering now is the same problem.

The three major organizations in the light curtain are all aware of the arrival of the people in the sky, and they don't intend to sit still, but to be honest, relying on their technical level and the power that a mere city can mobilize, there is definitely no way to resist the interstellar level existing.

So, he made a deal with them.

Take their light curtain core from the city at the cost of protecting it from the Celestial Ones.

And Brownie's "escape plan" opened the prelude to this frontal war.

"This is... the universe?"

Brownie, who was held under the arm of the ferryman, was brought straight into the vacuum universe.

But she didn't have the changes she thought the human body should have in the cosmic environment-blood evaporation, body surface sunburn and other feelings.

She noticed that her body was protected by a faint film of light. It seemed that this was the means used by the ferryman to protect her.

"Surprised?"

The ferryman who brought her here asked with a low smile.

"Of course, but I'm also very...excited."

Brownie looked up at the Starship Fleet in front of him, feeling a sense of joy inexplicably.

"Don't worry, since I dare to bring you up, I am sure to protect your safety."

This stargate has only just opened, and their attack is not yet fully prepared.

Before they could react, Dust Feather took Brownie straight through the space, passed through the shield of the spaceship, and landed on one of the ships.

On the deck, those grotesque structures reacted just now, and rushed towards them with teeth and claws.

The ferryman first put Brownie down indifferently, freed his hand, and then stepped on it lightly.

In an instant, all structures lost their ability to move, and began to collapse with their own centers as singularities.

"...Is this some kind of superpower?"

"It's about the same as your [Ether Editor]."

Chen Yu said indifferently.

"I can't do anything like this."

The silver-haired girl waved her hand.

Projecting small objects is her limit.

While chatting with Brownie, the erosion virus he put into the ship had also completed its invasion.

"Okay, you just stay here honestly, this ship is already ours, I went out and shot down all the other ships."

His feet left the ground again.

Before Brownie could say anything, he had already flown out of the protective cover.

The bewildered silver-haired girl looked at the strangely shaped alien monsters around her, and sighed slightly:

"Ha, this is probably the [third type] contact with alien species. I didn't expect such a scene."

In short, she doesn't seem to be able to help the ferryman, so she might as well fiddle with and study these so-called "people in the sky" here.

..............................

in the universe.

Chen Yu stepped on the void, walking casually in the vacuum.

In the cosmic environment, a human-sized target is difficult to find, but after a ship loses contact, the remaining ships will naturally discover the enemy's invasion and start actively searching for the target.

And, through their connection with each other, the erosion virus that is rapidly invading the remaining ships.

The environment of the universe is extremely large and empty, so the enemy cannot be observed with the naked eye alone.

He closed his eyes and expanded the observation horizon of the Herrscher of the Sky.

In the distance, three or four small but very fast ships are attacking in his direction. These are probably the assault ships of the people in the sky.

From the perspective of speed and distance, they will reach their current position in about 30 seconds.

It's just that, after all, it is an interstellar civilization, so it is not possible to attack him with space-to-board warfare.

They have already locked their position. In his field of vision, all the fleets in all directions have activated their remaining weapon systems that have not been disturbed by erosion, aiming at the area where he is, obviously intending to directly attack him. him, and wipe the invaded ship straight from the universe.

Dazzling light began to flicker within the field of vision, which was a sign that their attack was about to arrive.

"Ah……"

Chen Yu chuckled, stretched out her hand calmly, and snapped her fingers.

Just like the queen of the sky resisted the attack of the anti-entropy mechs in the past, he created countless sub-space gates in this cosmic vacuum.

They devoured all the artillery fire and lasers, no matter how the opponent launched an attack, they were indifferent.

At the same time, the unstoppable erosive virus is also rapidly eroding their fleet functions - the fire control systems are paralyzed one after another, and the weapons that can launch attacks continue to lose their function.

Soon, these ships all turned into garbage floating in space, unable to do anything, not even launch the escape pod.

And after absorbing all the attacks, Chen Yu had a shining ball of light floating in his hand, and then, he used the way of the other and returned it to him.

The ball of light disappeared in his hands, and at the same time, countless warp gates opened up above all the ships, artillery fire and lasers poured down, mercilessly destroying every inch of the ships.

After the fireworks show in space ended, Dust Feather fell from the universe and returned to the ship carrying Brownie.

"...Is this the end?"

The silver-haired girl said in disbelief.

"That's the end."

Dust Feather shrugged.

"But, these shouldn't be all of them, right? I mean, they must have a base camp or something."

"They are very careful. The invading troops have never been in contact with the base camp, otherwise I would have followed the clues to find them."

He waved his hand:

"I have learned about their invasion mode of operation—a large number of detection devices are placed in the tree of imaginary numbers and the sea of ​​quantum, and if a target that can be invaded is found, the star gate will be opened to send the invading troops to harvest the Honkai energy.

"But they are just bullying guys. They have never dared to invade highly developed civilizations. They only pick persimmons. Therefore, as long as their invading troops are wiped out once, they will be defeated for a long time. Don’t dare to invade again.”

"What are these so-called [people in the sky] harvesting Honkai energy for?"

Although it can't provide much help in terms of combat effectiveness, Brownie still has a lot to know in terms of research.

"Well... According to my communication with some victims, their purpose is to squeeze all the Houkai energy on that planet or world bubble, and use this to achieve rapid self-replication, just like... locusts."

Cosmic locusts, this description is very suitable for them.

"...Is this not right?"

Brownie frowned and said:

"I just briefly studied their bodies. Their bodies are structures made entirely of machinery. This is a fairly high level of technology."

But there can't be a civilization born of machines in the first place—after all, you'd have to produce machines before that.

In other words, this so-called [Heavenly Man] must have been some kind of creature in the first place, maybe a carbon-based creature like her, or a silicon-based creature or something else, and then they carried out a mechanical Ascension, became the current cosmic group.

"But if they already have such superb technology, why do they use such a primitive way to obtain Honkai energy for development?"

"Your perception is very keen."

Chen Yu smiled and nodded:

"One of my...uh, my virtuous wife once mentioned to me that there is a serious dislocation between the behavior of this cosmic group and their technology."

If it is really a group that has naturally developed the corresponding technology, there is no need to plunder energy in this way, after all, it is too low-level and inefficient.

It is easier to directly imitate the core of the Herrscher, open the channel to the imaginary number space, and grab the Honkai energy from there.

"...So, they are likely to be a race that was artificially designed."

"Man-made design..."

"However, they are not very relevant to my main purpose for the time being."

Therefore, he just helped to deal with it when he saw it, just like the Sky City this time.

After all, the existence behind the creation of these heavenly beings may not necessarily be at the level that he can handle now.

It is very likely that it is a big guy at the same level as [Final Cocoon], no, even the one who created [Final Cocoon].

..............................

In the next few days, he took the spaceship back to the star gate and returned to the world where Sky City is located.

Compared with the starry universe outside the star gate, the surroundings of Sky City are much more desolate - there is nothing but this city.

This is of course, after all, this place gave up the intrinsic world to avoid the collapse, and transformed its own existence into a place similar to the world bubble. Being able to leave a city is already considered a superb technology.

"I will leave this ship to the three major organizations of Sky City for research. After all, it is a high-tech group, and studying their technology will still be helpful for the future development of Sky City."

Anyway, now that the light curtain has disappeared, he will leave this space battleship around Sky City.

"As for you, Miss Brownie, now that you have reached the world beyond the light curtain...how do you feel?"

"...There is nothing here, it is endless, and it has no meaning at all."

The silver-haired girl stood on the edge of the bridge, looking at the land from a distance.

Of course, if it was her in the past, who hadn't been exposed to the concepts of the universe, alien creatures, and other worlds, even this level of discovery should be enough to keep her entertained for several days.

But now that she is standing on the sky, what she wants is not only this small world.

"So, Miss Brownie, what are your plans for the future?"

"Compared to me, let's discuss yourself first, Mr. Ferryman."

"Oh?"

"You helped Tianqiong City resist the attack of the [Man of Heaven], they must have paid the corresponding reward."

"Of course, even if they don't get paid, I won't just help."

Dust Feather shrugged.

Who told him to be so nosy.

"So, what are they paying you for?"

The silver-haired girl asked.

"Well, dear Miss Brownie, since you want to know, the transaction fee they paid me was..."

Chen Yu slightly pointed to the core of the light curtain in the silver-haired girl's hand.

"that's it."

"The core of this light curtain?"

Brownie raised his hand, looking at the ordinary core in his hand.

After breaking away from that device, it seemed to no longer have any strange abilities, which made it hard for the girl to imagine that it was something that supplied energy to the light curtains of the entire Sky City.

"Do you have a way to use it?"

"Of course, otherwise what would I want it to do?"
