Chapter 3309 Extinction Disaster
On the other side, Laplace finally raised his head after studying it carefully for several minutes.
Angel immediately asked: "Did you find anything?"
Laplace hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "No big discovery."
No discovery? Angel was slightly disappointed and pointed at the huge three-in-one 'pet': "This, you haven't seen it either?"
Laplace still shook his head: "No, it should be a creature in the void. Judging from these pictures, it is still a kind of void creature that can be tamed."
"But you should know that what I see in the Sea of Mirrors is more of the pictures inside the world, and the pictures of the void outside the world are difficult for the Sea of Mirrors to receive."
The pictures of the heavens and the worlds received by the Sea of Mirrors are based on the premise of having a "mirror", whether it is the reflection of the pond water surface, or the surface luster of a drop of water falling, or an ancient mirror that witnesses history... The pictures that the Sea of Mirrors can receive are all the pictures reflected by these mirrors.
And in the void, it is endless and dark. There are almost no conditions for forming a "mirror", and therefore, the images in the void are the rarest in the Sea of Mirrors.
Even if you encounter them occasionally, it is most likely that the skin scales of some void creatures reflect the mirror surface, which is like a glimpse of a lucky light, which is extremely rare.
In this case, Laplace actually doesn't know much about void creatures.
She couldn't tell what the three-unlike thing is.
Although Angel was a little disappointed, he also understood the limitations of the Sea of Mirrors. He originally wanted to get some information from Laplace, but now it seems that it is probably impossible.
He can only ask Lord Rhine and others later.
Since he couldn't get an answer for the time being, Angel prepared to cancel all the illusions around him first.
However, just as Angel was about to remove the third picture, that is, the picture of the other two "masters" carried by the three-unlike, Laplace suddenly said: "Actually, I know some information about it."
Angel paused and looked at the picture.
There are two races in the picture, one is a burly humanoid with purple-red skin that seems to be burning; the other is a gaseous creature composed of various luminous spots, like a miniature "nebula" in miniature.
Angel: "Which one are you talking about?"
Laplace pointed to the gaseous creature: "This one."
Angel hesitated: "Is it special?"
The reason for asking this is that Laplace had hesitated to answer Angel "nothing was found" before, but now he suddenly pointed at the gaseous creature and said "I have seen it".
Angel didn't know what Laplace was thinking, but he guessed that the reason why Laplace was so hesitant was that this gaseous creature might have something special?
However, after hearing Angel's question, Laplace shook his head: "It itself is not special, but if I remember correctly, its race has been extinct..."
"Extinct?" Angel looked at Laplace in surprise, "You mean, it is a survivor of a suspected extinct group?"
Laplace nodded at first, but then shook his head.
She nodded because Angel's conjecture was possible, and this gas creature could indeed be a "survivor".
She shook her head because this gas creature could have been extinct, and the picture Angel saw was a picture of it before it died.
Why did Laplace think so? Because Angel said before that this picture was a record from decades ago.
And the tribe of this gas creature was extinct only within these five years.
So, it is possible that Angel's intelligence network recorded a survivor, or it is possible that it became a member of the extinction after returning to its homeland.
"It became extinct only within the past five years?" Angel frowned: "Could it be discovered by some advanced civilization and exterminated?"
Laplace shook his head: "If it is really suppressed by a high civilization, it will not be completely exterminated."
In the fight between civilizations, only when the levels of the two civilizations are almost the same, will they kill each other to the last moment; and if the high civilization judges the low civilization with a crushing attitude, it will not actually reach the last step.
Whether it is hypocrisy or indifference, this is the result.
Just like when humans face those lower animals, they will not think of completely exterminating them at the first time, but drive them to remote forests, or directly keep them in zoos.
The real slaughter is done by similar civilizations. Because the civilization levels between them are almost the same, if you are not completely exterminated, once there is a spark left, it is possible to burn the entire grassland with the help of the east wind.
Angel: "Then they tasted defeat in the battle with the civilization of the same level, so they became extinct?"
Laplace still shook his head: "No, their extinction is not a battle between civilizations, but an abnormal extinction."
The expanded version of unnatural death is the abnormal extinction of the entire group.
"It is certain that they were extinct due to external forces, but I don't know what external force it is."
Just five years ago, Laplace received the picture of this group.
Laplace didn't know what this group was called. But she knew that they lived in a world full of special gases.
There are no so-called continents and oceans in this world, only various gases that are clear or turbid.
The closer to the outside of the world, the more turbid the gas is; the closer to the core of the world, the clearer the gas is, and even has a sense of glowing brightness.
It can be understood that the core is a sun-like star, and the periphery is surrounded by endless black turbid gas.
And this tribe lives in turbid gas.
The "sun" composed of clear gas is a place they cannot sneak into. By analogy, the clear gas is the ground of human civilization. Ordinary people can dig the ground occasionally, but it is impossible to live underground all year round.
This tribe clings to the black turbid gas all year round. In addition, their whole body is composed of various bright spots. If you look from a distance, it looks like a ring of galaxies.
The light of the galaxy is reflected on the turbid gas, forming a kind of reflective surface, which is also the reason why Laplace can see the picture of this tribe in the sea of empty mirrors.
"On the day they became extinct, I saw the galaxy fall and the nebula disintegrate... It was a matter of a moment."
"In just a few hours, the world returned to its original state. There were no more light spots in the galaxy, only clear air like the sun and turbid air like black fog. There were no more gaseous creatures, only a gaseous world."
"And from beginning to end, I didn't see the reason for their extinction."
When Laplace said this, he was slightly sentimental, as if he was lamenting the impermanence of the world.
Because Ingres didn't see it with his own eyes, it was difficult for him to imagine this painting, but he still felt a little sad when he imagined the scene of the fall of civilization such as "the galaxy was broken".
But after sighing, there are more questions: "Since you didn't see the reason for the extinction, how can you be sure that it was an abnormal extinction caused by external invasion?"
Faced with Angel's question, Laplace was silent for a long time this time, so long that Angel thought Laplace would not answer, she slowly said: "Because... it's not just this gaseous group that is extinct."
Angel: "???"
Laplace sighed lightly and told what he saw and heard...
After listening to Laplace's story, Angel was also stunned.
To sum it up, there are two words: weird.
Because in just ten years, Laplace has seen at least six races extinct, and they are all like this gaseous group, silently and completely extinct.
The most important thing is that these groups are all in the North Cross District, and even their void coordinates are in the same "quadrant".
According to Laplace's guess, some unknown disaster may have occurred in the North Cross District. As long as these disasters affect the civilized world, the consequence is... extinction.
This is also the reason why Laplace hesitated before and didn't say it at the first time.
Because even she felt the weirdness in this, and the depth of the water was so deep that even Laplace didn't want to get involved.
After all, there are many "supernormal lives" among the extinct groups here. Just like the gaseous life that looks like a nebula, they can survive in the void, cross the void, and tame the three-unlike, which is enough to show that their supernormal system is complete and of a high level.
Even this group with powerful supernormal life died inexplicably, and Laplace would naturally be alert.
"In just ten years, multiple civilized groups have suffered extinction?" Angel murmured in a low voice. He didn't expect the answer to be so shocking and weird.
Moreover, from Laplace's description, we can know that this civilization disaster and extinction disaster has not yet come to an end.
At this moment, when Angel and Laplace are talking, perhaps a civilization in the Northern Cross region is suffering from abnormal genocide.
Remote sensing is helpless and sad.
While Angel was sighing silently, Luigi suddenly said: "What you said can neither find the origin of the three-unlike creatures nor have anything to do with the goose butler..."
"However, I did notice one thing. In the picture sent by Angel, the person who is suspected to be from the same tribe as the goose butler looked very anxious and seemed to be in a hurry to get on the road."
"What could make him so anxious? Could it be related to the genocide you mentioned?"
Angel, Laplace: "..."
Angel: "You can't force the two things together. The anxious expression can only prove that he has something on his mind."
Luigi also knew that he was forcing the bridge a bit, and he shrugged: "Anyway, I'm just guessing."
Looking at Luigi's indifferent expression, Angel thought of the red sword Dox for a moment. Dox also had this indifferent expression when he said "guess", but almost every guess he made was accurate.
Dox has extraordinary spiritual perception, and this kind of inspiration and intuition can even be called "ability".
Angel saw the shadow of Dox in Luigi, and therefore, a somewhat absurd thought arose in his mind: Could Luigi's guess really be right?
This thought only existed in his mind for a moment, and then it dissipated like a bubble phantom.
In fact, the two are really not related.
Whether the Goose Deacon's people are from the Northern Cross region is still unknown. It is simply not relevant to speculate that their tribe may be extinct now.
Angel shook his head and threw this absurd thought aside.
Luigi: "By the way, the surrounding civilizations completely ignored the extinction disaster in the Northern Cross region? Aren't they worried that they would also be affected by the disaster?"
Angel was also curious about this question and looked at Laplace, hoping to get an answer.
Laplace thought for a while and said, "Many of the scenes I saw were not my own choice. At least, in the scenes I saw, the civilization in the Northern Cross area has not had much reaction at present."
In Laplace's opinion, there may be two conjectures for this situation.
First, the surrounding civilizations themselves do not know what to do. After all, a civilization cannot be full of extraordinary beings. Most of them are ordinary creatures. They have no way to resist such a disaster.
Even more so, even extraordinary life cannot respond in time to such an invisible and ignorant disaster. At most, they can only think about escaping.
How many extraordinary lives may enter the void? How many can survive in the void for a long time and cross the space and time distance to reach the outside of the domain?
So, perhaps the upper level has already known the existence of the disaster, but they dare not announce it. Because there is no great use in announcing it, it is better to be confused.
Second, there may be another possibility that the surrounding civilizations did not react: a higher-level civilization took action.
The Northern Cross region is very large, and there are civilizations that can be compared to the wizard world based on the extraordinary limit.
In other words, there may be creatures above the legendary level in these high-level civilizations.
If such beings provide protection, this invisible disaster may be resolved.
Of course, this is just Laplace's guess. She doesn't know whether there will be any high-level civilizations.
Angel also doesn't know whether Laplace's story is true, but he thought of another thing from the second point Laplace said.
He still remembers the guest of the Inspector, Cameron, a scholar of the Theory of Everything from the super-star organization Newk Academy. He came out of the Source World and his destination seemed to be the Northern Cross region.
Could it be that Cameron went there just for this strange disaster?
After all, the wizards of the Source World have eyes and ears everywhere in the void. With the intelligence search capabilities of the various super-star organizations in the Source World, they must have known about the strange disaster in the Northern Cross region.
It is very likely that wizards will be sent to investigate.
However, this is still just Angel's guess. Whether it is true or not, he will know after he goes back and asks the inspector.
