Chapter 380: Void Lord

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Less than 200 domineering Void Evils’ were left in the galaxy. When the war machines gave up their research and chose to destroy their enemies, they would show unparalleled efficiency.

Although the Ether Dragon and the Presolin’ were also participating in the attacks, they could not ‘warp,’ and their speed could not keep up with the fleets.

Even though the ‘Void Evils’ had shown extraordinary mobility under the command of the mastermind, they had not evolved organs that could tear and reassemble the space-time structure. It was only a matter of time before they were eliminated.

A lone Void Evil’ was frantically fleeing between galaxies. The thrusters at its tail had evolved to having four jets, and the wings on its back that were full of circuits constantly sent out camouflage signals, disguising itself as a ‘comet.1 The mechanical organs on their bodies seemed to be developed and reformed by someone behind the scenes. They were constantly being replaced and gradually converging, making all the Void Evils’ evolve into similar appearances.

When it passed by asteroid belts, the Void Evil’ would randomly swallow a few mouthfuls to gather the elements it needed for evolution.

Although its body had evolved and developed a strange organ that could synthesize a considerable amount of substances, there were still some that it could not synthesize at the moment.

However, although it tried to appear like an ordinary meteorite on the signal, the fleet from the ‘Voyager’ still caught it and used several Titan Battleships’ main cannons and hundreds of battleships’ main cannons to blast it into smithereens.

It was understandable why the ‘Voyager’ would use such ‘super-standard’ firepower. After all, the evolution ability displayed by the ‘Void Evil’ was too terrifying. Only by completely tearing them apart in a short period could the ‘adaptability’ not be transmitted to other individuals.

As for how the ‘Voyager’ discovered it…

“…This could be considered verification, right? The mastermind can’t control every Void Evil’ in real-time. It can even be said that it can only influence the ‘Void Evils’ to this extent…”

“After all, as long as one has a brain, they will know that a ‘meteorite’ can’t reach such a speed. It can only be said to be a clumsy disguise…” The commander of that pursuing ‘Voyager’ fleet looked at the destruction report of the ‘Void Evil’ speechlessly and gave a bad evaluation.

That was because the meteorite disguised by the Void Evil’ was moving at almost half the speed of light, which was absolutely impossible for a ‘meteorite’ to reach. Moreover, the signal of a meteorite that could reach such a speed would definitely not show the characteristics of a meteorite.

Therefore, the battleships’ sensors detected and marked the anomaly almost instantly, and the fleet found the Void Evil’ very easily.

However, a scientist beside the commander suggested a possibility. “It’s also possible that the ‘mastermind’ doesn’t have this level of ‘common sense.’ Its intelligence is only shown in strategy and has almost no knowledge of natural science…”

That scientist had indeed guessed the nature of the ‘Void Evil’ that was integrated with the ‘Observation Terminal.’ The Terminal Processor only amplified the wisdom of the ‘Void Evil’ and did not provide it with the knowledge of the creation of things. The Void Evil’ definitely did not know what ‘science’ was.

And the entire galaxy was filled with such ridiculous incidents.

The Ether Dragon discovered a ‘Void Evil’ with a protective layer on its body. That Void Evil’ was lying on a planet, blending with the planet’s environment, and was almost undetectable to the naked eye.

However, the Ether Dragon didn’t look for the ‘Void Evil’ with ‘sight’ to begin with. Instead, she used her super-perception of her kind to identify the target. Thus, that Evil turned into dust along with the planet.

The ‘Presolin’ had also found a ‘Void Evil’ that seemed to be hiding deep inside the planet. The planet had a special environment and chaotic magnetic field. Perhaps ‘Presolin’ would not find it if it kept hiding.

However, it thought it was ‘clever’ to use the disguise signal of the ‘Voyager’ to leave a message saying’there is nothing unusual there.’

That kind of guilty behavior naturally attracted the attention of ‘Presolin’ because their allies all used direct online messages, so it was impossible for them to leave a ‘mark.’

As a result, the Void Evil’ died as well. It was blown into space debris by the artificial intelligence fleet nearby, along with the planet itself.

The already small number of Void Evils’ suffered another devastating blow. Perhaps the ‘Void Evil’ with wisdom did not realize how childish its behavior was in the eyes of those who truly ‘understood’ the universe.

In the end, it led to an irreversible end. It was found.

“…There is a saying by the ‘Enlightened Ones.’ ‘One will search high and low only to find it when one least expects to.’ The ‘Observation Terminal’ that we’ve been searching for a long time is actually here…”

When they saw the planet where flesh and machinery were mixed, a scientist on board the ‘Voyager’ fleet couldn’t help but sigh at how fate played a trick on people.

Although its appearance had changed greatly due to the fusion of flesh and blood, the machinery at the core would not change.

The onboard scientist saw the control center of the ‘Observation Terminal’ with just a glance. Even though it was the place with the densest flesh and blood, he could determine what facilities were under the flesh and blood through the exposed mechanical parts.

Since the mechanical flesh no longer looked like the ‘Void Evil; the ‘Voyager’ who had arrived first thought it was a trap, that the ‘mastermind’ had left the place long ago and left the ‘bait’ behind.

But soon, the lump of flesh and blood sent a signal to the ‘Voyager’ fleet, indicating its identity.

[I am the ‘Void Lord; the ‘Terminal’ that controls these Void Usurpers.’]

[This defeat is fated.]

As the mechanical nature of the signal was too strong, like a native lifeform organism speaking with a strong synthesized voice, it made the ‘Voyager’ feel very out of place.

However, through the conversation, the ‘Voyager’ still understood that the ‘lump’ of flesh and blood that had merged with the ‘Observation Terminal’ was the result of the evolution of the Void Evil.’

[A certain individual in the past consumed some mechanical components, including a slight processor integration. Although this did not allow us to evolve and develop true artificial intelligence, it got us spontaneously attracted to ‘high-precision machines.’]

[The power of evolution in my body allowed me to find this ‘mechanical planet’ accidentally. Then, I fused with it and developed wisdom. To differentiate myself from the other ‘Void Usurpers’ that lack wisdom, I call myself the ‘Void Lord.’ Will you object to this title?]

The self-proclaimed ‘Void Lord’ was surprisingly easy to talk to and didn’t have the wild nature of an ordinary ‘Void Evil.’ It didn’t seem to care about its death but just wanted to communicate.

For such a target, even if the Voyager’ knew the horror of ‘Void Evil; they couldn’t help but wonder what it knew.

At that time, Li Wenyuan’s artificial intelligence fleet had also arrived. After receiving the opinion of the ‘Voyager; the shipboard artificial intelligence decided to let Li Wenyuan decide on that matter.

[I don’t think I will have a tomorrow. I know what kind of taboo the ‘Super Evolution’ is in your eyes.]

[I won’t ask to survive, but after gradually understanding the ‘world; I still wish to ask a question that has troubled me since the birth of wisdom.] [What do you think the ‘Void’ in our name is?]

It was a question, but there was no doubt in its tone. It seemed to have an answer and just wanted to hear the opinions of others.

The scientists of the ‘Voyager’ looked at each other, but considering that it would take some time for the ‘Administrator’ to respond and that they really wanted to know what the Void Evil’ had to say, a scientist stood up and said, “I think ‘Void’ refers to….”
