"Ahhhhhh —!!!"
When the last Chi's scream echoed, the underground world was safe. This forest of spikes would no longer be wiped out by the Star Bus's immune system.
The creatures here could also continue to live and restore their environment and species. In the end, they could spread throughout the world like before and restore the world's vitality!
That should be the case.
"At first, I was very suspicious of you, even though you cured me." Deep underground, the Star Bus was conversing with the pompom, not using brainwaves, but using the Atlan language.
Even so, both sides could sense each other's intentions.
"However, I can feel that you have no enmity towards me. Furthermore, you have captured all the Brain Spirits. As for your help … I express my heartfelt gratitude."
The pompom asked, "'Thank you', that word is Atlan's, right?"
"That's right. While those creatures will fight, they will use that word after they have reconciled with each other and when they receive favors," Star Bus said. "We … should not be an exception."
"Is this really all of it?" The pompom extended a large amount of fluff and knocked on a basin-like object on the ground.
This was a prison for Brain Spirits, and there were a total of 1000 Brain Spirits inside. Although Lin now had a way to directly identify which Brain Spirits were parasitized, she would need to observe them from a close distance, so there might be other Brain Spirits hiding inside.
But according to the Stellar Bus, a thousand Brain Spirits was the limit of this place.
"You've already captured all of them. There's no one hiding among them. Unless they have a way to hide my detection. But I think. They've all been gathered here. There's nothing left. " Star Bus said, "The feeling of cleaning out the parasites is very comfortable … I will thank you again."
"…" The pompom didn't answer. Although the Star Bus said that it was done, Lin felt that it was a bit of a pity. There weren't enough brain spirits here to fill the prison.
And these Brain Spirits didn't seem to be able to reproduce. According to Star Bus, their numbers hadn't increased since the beginning.
Perhaps there was something missing here that the Brain Spirits needed to reproduce. Lin remembered that Brain Spirits needed creatures to feed on a type of rock to reproduce, but there might not be such a rock here.
"Now, I want to confirm something." While Lin was thinking, Star Bus continued, "I hope you can kill them all …"
"Killed?" Lin could feel that Star Bus was still doubting Lin, but there was also a feeling of disgust. It was a very 'contradictory' feeling. Star Bus hated its own doubtful emotions, but it had no choice but to doubt Lin.
"That's simple." He thought for a moment. The pompom looked at the basin-shaped object on the ground and said, "Bang."
In the next second, the basin-shaped object shattered into pieces.
This thing has a 'self-destruct function'. It could explode at any time, and the brain spirit inside would die as well.
"Very good … Very good …"
Star Bus looked at the broken basin-shaped object and showed a kind of emotion. "I won't doubt you anymore. I only have gratitude for you, healer. I've finally gotten rid of them."
It seemed that it didn't suspect Lin anymore. Star Bus might have thought that the pompom was also a parasite for the Brain Spirits, but it used some method to hide it from Star Bus.
And this action could remove its suspicion because Brain Spirits wouldn't kill their own kind on purpose. Star Bus knew this very well. Brain Spirits wouldn't kill their own kind for 'show'. Although Brain Spirits would send some of their companions to take on very dangerous tasks and die, they wouldn't kill their own kind on purpose.
Lin had also done some research on this. For example, letting a Brain Spirit kill its own kind in exchange for its own freedom was something they were never willing to do. They would rather die together …
"So, what do you plan to do now?" The pompom was very curious about Star Bus's next step. Logically speaking, it should restore its ecology and environment, but … Star Bus didn't seem to have that intention.
"You've done a lot for me …" Star Bus said, "But unfortunately, I can't do anything for you. After getting rid of these parasites, I only have one thought … revenge."
"You mean … you want to take revenge on the Brain Spirits?" When the pompom heard Star Bus's words, it could feel a kind of extreme anger in it.
When it was angry, it would secrete some specific pheromones, which was very similar to normal cellular organisms. In that moment, its' anger pheromone 'was about to expand to its limit. It felt like the air around it was filled with its anger.
"Those parasites, if I let them stay here, they might be able to inform their companions of my plan. Even though they still don't have a way to do so, I think that's very likely." After the extreme anger, Star Bus slowly calmed down.
"But after you've dealt with them, they won't be able to inform their own kind, so … I have a chance …" Star Bus said, "I will complete all of this."
"How do you plan to take revenge on them?" Rin could feel Star Bus's anger slowly turning into another emotion … that could be called 'madness'.
"Of course, I will destroy them directly. Because there are no parasites to inform me, I can ambush them directly!" Star Bus said. "Now, healer, you should leave me, leave this world, because this is a journey of no return."
"Destroy them directly …" the pompom said. "You want to enter the enemy's' base 'directly? This is not the right choice. "
Star Bus seemed to know where the Brain Spirits … or the black metal army was, and now … it was planning to ambush them directly.
"I have no choice!" Star Bus's words caused the whole underground to rumble. When the cracks spread on the wall, it said, "Forgiveness will only breed sin, escape will only give birth to nightmares … and hesitation will make things irreversible. Only … only revenge can end sin. Make the criminals fear their actions. That is the only way to end sin!"
"Did … Atlan teach you this?" Rin could feel that the ground was about to collapse due to Star Bus's agitation.
"Atlan, they have indeed told me a lot, so I know …" Star Bus said. "I'm not alone. I have many … companions. Even though I've never seen them before, they could be threatened by the 'brain spirits' at any moment. Those things are lunatics without a mind of their own. They only know how to destroy everything, and they didn't give me any choice back then! All they do is … deceive and attack. "
"Only by destroying the Brain Spirits … only by destroying them can my companions be safe. Leave this place and heal my creatures … or else, you will have no choice soon."
"I mean, you can wait," the pompom said. "I can have my … troops assist you in the attack."
"I will not wait!" The moment Star Bus said this, the whole ground shook violently.
"Since you are not leaving, then I am sorry … Witness this moment with me, this moment of our destruction!"
"Boom —!!!!"
A huge explosion came from underground. It sounded like a violent explosion, but there were no tremors. At the same time, Rin's large pompom that was digging shelters on the ground also noticed that the stars in the sky had suddenly changed. A starry sky that had never been seen before appeared.
Could this be …
Teleportation?
Indeed, Star Bus had teleported to an unknown place. The large pompom on the ground carefully observed the starry sky and came to this conclusion. This creature indeed had the ability to teleport its entire body!
This was a space without any stars nearby. Through its ability to look into the distance, the large pompom could see a large group of objects in the void not far away. These objects were mainly dozens of island-shaped metal objects. These were tens of kilometers in size, and there were countless other objects tens of meters to hundreds of meters in size.
Those should be … the Brain Spirits' fleet? Right, this place is very similar to the Brain Spirits' base that Rin discovered last time …
"You don't have to do this!" The small pompom on the ground said to Star Bus. "You can wait for my help. You should go back before the Brain Spirits discover you!"
"Now … there is no way to go back … Every time I travel, there is a long gap …"
Star Bus's tone calmed down, but this didn't mean that its emotions had returned to normal. Instead, it felt like it had abandoned everything.
"I am sorry for them … That small forest of spikes, and the creatures there, they are all doing their best to survive, but now, they will have to die with me …"
"And you, Healer, I have nothing but gratitude for you … But I believe that there are other communities of yours in other places. If one of the pompom among you can survive, then go back and tell the other communities. Let my story … continue."
Star Bus's personality … It felt like it had been greatly influenced by Atlan.
"Boom —"
The moment she finished speaking, Rin felt the ground tremble again. The black metal objects that were far away were getting closer and closer, as if Star Bus was speeding towards them.
How did the Star Bus accelerate? Rin didn't see anything that could propel it forward.
