Chapter 851 Cosmic Civilization: The Purpose of Swallowing Stars
There is a saying in China that there are always only wrong names, but no wrong nicknames. Although the alien's name was translated from the human language, it is enough to prove some of his characteristics, for example, his ability.
Thinking of this, Alice glanced thoughtfully at the silver surfboard at the feet of the alien. At first she thought it was just a vehicle used by aliens, a harmless plaything. But now it seems that the situation is not as simple as she thought.
The surfboard must have served a purpose, perhaps even the cornerstone of the alien's existence. If they can get it in their hands, maybe their situation will become more favorable. It's just that Alice can only give up this tempting idea temporarily when she thinks of the photomask that is impenetrable by fire and water, oil and salt.
She forced herself to look away from the surfboard, and continued to ask the silver surfer.
"Where do you come from, and what is your purpose?"
Now that he has opened his mouth, there is no need for the Silver Surfer to remain silent on this issue. So after waiting for a while, Alice and the others got the answer they wanted.
"I come from the outer galaxy, a planet named Zenn-La, and I am an astronomer on that planet. As for the purpose of my coming here, you can consider it work."
"You're lying!" As soon as the silver surfer said this, Rody immediately accused him unceremoniously. "I know something about your identity, Silver Surfer. You are with that guy called Galactus. You have done countless evil deeds in the universe. With such an identity, you actually say that you are a genius. Home, are you challenging our bottom line?"
Rody didn't know much about the identity of the Silver Surfer, and even a lot of information was conceived out of thin air with a few words from the Xandars. These are just unfounded guesses, but it does not prevent him from talking about this kind of thing. As a character who sings a bad face, it is actually his job to use words to deceive people. And he's clearly good at it.
It is one thing to be able to speak human language, but another thing to understand human language and culture. Although the Silver Surfer has learned to communicate with humans in human language. But this doesn't mean that he can understand the language art of manipulating words and coaxing people to say information. So, after Roddy's vicious words, he immediately refuted calmly.
"I have no need to lie to you on this matter. I am indeed an astronomer on the planet Zenn-La, but I am also serving the great Galactus."
"Serve him? What does that mean?"
Alice opened her mouth at the question.
Although I have heard some things about Galactus from the Xandar people, but such a few words are definitely not comparable to the more detailed information from the mouth of the person concerned. Hearing her question, the silver surfer froze for a moment before answering honestly.
"I seek out what the great Galactus needs, his food. This is the meaning of my existence."
"Target, food?" Alice couldn't help frowning immediately upon hearing this adjective. "More details, please! Silver Surfer."
"It's very simple, Ms. Human. The great Galactus needs a planet as food. And I am his servant, his messenger. What I have to do is to find See what is good enough for him, and then invite him. Let him come and enjoy the meal. It's like your cook invites a gourmet to taste his own food."
Explaining this kind of scary thing in calm words, the Silver Surfer has clearly shown the difference between him and human beings. He is emotionless, cold and well-behaved, like a cold robot.
And it was this indifferent expression that immediately touched Alice's heart.
The Xandars once warned humans that Galactus had destroyed more than one planet and thousands of civilizations. This ambiguity led many, including Alice, to think that it was a powerful alien invasion, a savage conquest of one civilization over another. But now it seems that the situation is not what they imagined. The expression of the Silver Surfer is more like describing a slaughterhouse, a feast that treats the planet as a delicious turkey.
The conquest of civilization by civilization is well documented in human history. This is also an inevitable path for the development of a civilization. If it was necessary, Alice wouldn't be as indignant as she is now, even if she was the one being targeted.
But now, in her opinion, this kind of thing has completely evolved into the destruction and destruction of countless living beings for the greedy desire of a monster. Such behavior made her immediately think of everything she had experienced, so naturally, the sense of justice in her heart began to erupt.
"In your opinion, is the planet you are looking at just a food? Are you unscrupulously looking for a planet like ours in the universe, is it just to satisfy the appetite of a monster? This is simply disgusting."
"Ms. Human, please pay attention to your words." Picking the corners of his unclear eyes, the silver surfer emphasized his tone. "You are talking about one of the greatest beings in the universe. As a low-level life, you need to maintain the most basic awe."
"****!" Cursed viciously, Alice added a few very insulting words even if she couldn't get enough of it. "I don't have any awe for a disgusting monster, all he has about him is disgust, disgust. And of course you. You are disgusting. I can't believe that there are people who would destroy other species as a What a noble thing, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"Your idea is interesting, human lady."
Despite being pointed at the nose and insulted to such an extent. But the Silver Surfer still looked very calm. He explained it seriously, as if he was stating an academic question.
"I have studied your human civilization. Aren't you building your own civilization on the basis of the destruction of other species? According to my research, human beings have spent hundreds of years in order to satisfy their own desires. I have destroyed hundreds of species that lived on the same planet as myself. This kind of behavior is not a special case, but exists in an incremental way. Even today when I talk to you again, you still This kind of destruction of life is going on. Your natural concrete and terrible aggressiveness and destructiveness. According to what you just said, you yourself are not a noble existence. Then I am curious, what motivates you Is this kind of evaluation given to me and my master?"
This is not the first time the history of human development has been criticized. But it was the first time he was criticized so much by an alien. So for a moment, Alice felt a sense of misfire. But she shook her head quickly, and forcefully argued.
"It's different. We had to make such a choice for the development of our own civilization. And you just want to satisfy your own desires. How can this be the same?"
"If you think so, then I can only say, this human lady, your thinking is too superficial and too ridiculous."
The tone was still flat, but the silver surfer's eyes became brighter. It made him look extraordinarily wise. Of course, as an alien who can cross the universe, such a performance is in line with his identity.
"Do you think that the great Galactus really devours planets indiscriminately to satisfy his appetite?"
"Isn't it?" Alice just asked back confidently, and immediately received a rebuttal from the silver surfer.
"Of course not, if that's the only way. Galactus can capture a small sun with his own power, and get endless energy from it to satisfy himself. He chooses the planet as his goal, and we are for his goal. And service has a greater cause.”
Having said that, he continued to explain without waiting for Alice and the others to ask.
"In this vast universe, countless beings, like you humans, have obtained the opportunity to evolve and the possibility to step out of their own planet. However, the universe is not infinite, and neither are the resources. For living in For other beings in this universe, the birth of a new civilization obviously needs some consideration to determine whether it can meet a most basic standard. And this standard is the threat to the entire universe and other creatures in the universe sex."
"And the great Galactus is the one who enforces this standard. His activities in this vast universe have only one purpose, and that is to screen out possible threatening civilizations that may exist in the universe, and to wipe out this civilization."
"Admittedly, I don't deny that Galactus needs to devour planets to satisfy his thirst for energy. However, this purpose is his original intention. And everything he does is for the order of the universe itself. Human beings, you And the planet you own has been judged as a threatening target. Your existence can already be called a cancer cell for the entire universe. It is like using medical methods to remove cancer cells from the body , to erase you, your planet, and your civilization together is the most suitable choice for the entire universe."
