Chapter 425: Waiting

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

The war between the Hunter and the Silent wasn’t affected by Li Wenyuan’s interference. Large swathes of the galaxy were disappearing because of their battle.

For the exile grounds that had hundreds of billions of galaxies, the aftermath of this level of battle was only scratching an itch. However, this commotion could still attract the attention of the last civilization in the galaxy—the Exiled. “So this is the battle between the apex…As expected, compared to them, no matter what it is, we are too different…”

Some of the Exiled felt very sad. The galaxy that had disappeared from the star map seemed to be expressing its powerlessness.

As the Exterminator Civilization of the past, they had also reached many galaxies and fought with the peak civilizations there, obtaining a series of victories.

Although this former glory had long been shattered by the Scribe and had been shattered again and again in the confrontation with the Hunter, they could still puff out their chests when they occasionally recalled it. At least, their ancestors had indeed been generous.

The overall strength of the Exiled was actually quite powerful. Ordinary people from the lost empire might not be their match. Unfortunately, the opponents they encountered were each more abnormal than the other.

If they could develop for a while longer, they might be able to come into contact with the truth of the world. Unfortunately, their experiences didn’t allow them to do so.

They originally thought that there was only a gap between the mysterious Recycling Technology and those civilizations. However, the huge commotion in the galaxy during this period of time made them realize that there was more than that. There was something deeper that they had not come into contact with.

“…Other than the galaxy that disappeared on a large scale, do you still remember the mysterious time stagnation? Our atomic clock seems to have slowed down because of this inexplicable stagnation, and this stagnation has already happened three times…”

“This is something a civilization can do? It’s too unbelievable! They can even do this?”

If the disappearance of a galaxy could be explained by physical phenomena, after all, they could think of ways to destroy a galaxy in a short period of time. Then, time stagnation was completely incomprehensible to them because this had already surpassed their current physical understanding and could completely reach the level of metaphysics.

It was hard for them to imagine that the universe would actually stop for a moment because of a civilization.

However, that sense of stagnancy was too obvious to them. After seeing their own weakness, they would rather not have such sharp senses, because the more powerful those civilizations displayed, the greater the difference between them, so much so that it could greatly reduce their morale.

However, a certain someone didn’t think so. He stood up among the soldiers with their heads lowered and walked silently towards the spaceport.

“…Use your emotional management organs. Our mission is not completed yet.” He only said this before boarding his car alone.

“…I’m Scarface. My premonition tells me that my final moments are coming.” “I’ve never had the habit of keeping a diary, but ever since I was resurrected, I ve been used to doing this. Perhaps it’s to maintain my mental state that has been squeezed until it’s deformed.”

After boarding the car and turning on the automatic driving system to sail according to the predetermined route, Scarface immediately opened his diary and wrote his thoughts.

Just like what he said in his diary, he did not have the habit of writing in his diary in the past. He only had it after he woke up.

He believed that something unknown had been mixed into his soul, and it was these things that made him no longer himself.

“I have a secret, which is that I’m actually not me.”

“Ever since I perished together with that dogsh*t Legendary Hunter, I never thought of coming back alive. The explosive power of the specially modified energy reactor can vaporize more than 95% of my body in an instant.” “That’s indeed the case. From the memories extracted from my cells, I only have a little piece of meat left after the explosion. No, it’s not even a piece of meat.”

“But I’m still alive. Someone collected my physical bodies and used technology to adhere to them before they completely lost their lives, allowing me to be reborn.”

I know those people. They’re the Silent Empire, another civilization in this galaxy. They probably injected me with something. I can feel that my brain is in a mess. Something is stirring my soul.”

“Even though I was saved, I thought it was disloyal to my civilization. I wanted to tell everything, but some premonition stopped me.

“I seem to have become special at some point. I can feel that I’m shouldering an extremely important mission, fate, and something else.”

These all appeared after my rebirth. I have reason to think that this is a trick

of the Silent Empire, but I can’t figure out why they did it.”

“I can clearly feel that my ‘soul’ is changing. I might no longer be me, but a special name, a kind of…special data.”

“…what a strange premonition, but no matter what, this will be my last trip. There will also be differences between Legends. This time, I will shoot down Legends.”

Scarface closed the diary. After thinking for a while, he recorded the contents in an electronic version and sent it back to his hometown.

Then, he continued to remain silent and quietly waited for the arrival of the duel.

The Legendary Hunter, who was wandering nearby, seemed to have sensed something. Before his advanced car gave him any information, he drove the spaceship in a certain direction.

He had a feeling that he was going there.

For the entire exiled galaxy, the battle between the two ace pilots was not worth paying attention to.

The galaxy was still disappearing in batches, but Li Wenyuan had also found what he wanted. Humans had indeed left something here, and it was also found by the Hunter.

[…Eh, it’s actually this?]

[This is indeed a very strange thing. It seems to be from the body fragments of some indescribable lifeforms.]

[Of course, this is not a necessity for us. We will also give you information related to it.]

[For the record, we haven’t read that part of the information. They’ve been locked in by some strange encryption method. Even we can’t resolve it.]

[We’ll give it to you now. That’s all.]

[Perhaps…we will meet again next time.]

Li Wenyuan didn’t probe further into the Hunter’s words that seemed to have a deeper meaning. His attention was currently on the information related to humans.

The so-called encryption seemed to be just the Hunter’s illusion. It was the introduction of something. Looking at the name of that thing, he fell into deep thought.

[Time Scale]
