"This is … … Above!"
When they stepped into the moving point in the library, the familiar scene appeared before their eyes again.
Above them was a starry sky, and below them was a vast white platform.
However, the scene was very different from when they first arrived. The ground here was full of potholes, as if it had been hit by something.
The Void Bus fledglings that were originally here were all gone … …
At the same time, there was no air or gravity here, and the transparent material that covered the back of the warship was gone.
The warship was now directly exposed to the void, but it made no difference to the Scholar.
"Did they all go to battle?" The Scholar slowly floated up from the ground and looked around. "There are no more Void Buses here … …"
Just as the Scholar said that, a bright light shone from above. A giant, spherical object was coming from space. It was coming toward them.
It slammed into the ground in front of the Scholar, and the moment it hit, the spherical object disappeared, leaving only a crater in the ground.
"This is … … a Void Bus."
Both Lin and the Scholar noticed that the spherical object that crashed down wasn't a meteor or anything like that. It was a baby of the Void Bus.
It seemed to have entered a high-speed state for some reason, and then crashed into the back of the warship.
However, when it collided, it instantly teleported away, leaving only a pit here. There were no debris left behind by the Void Bus.
"What kind of battle are they fighting?"
Looking at the crater, the Scholar raised her head and looked up.
She saw that under the starry sky, there were occasional flashes of light. The flashes were small, but with a little calculation, one could tell that it was a huge explosion.
"Rumble … …" Lin 'heard' the sound that she had simulated.
Another Void Bus … … came from afar. This Void Bus had a diameter of about two hundred meters, much larger than the previous one.
"It's here again!" The Scholar saw this and quickly retreated. The propulsion device on its feet allowed it to fly back more than a kilometer, and at the same time, the Void Bus crashed into the warship.
Lin did not simulate the sound this time.
In the silent environment without any sound, Lin watched as the back of the warship sunk deeply into the ground after the violent collision. However, no debris was sent flying, and the gigantic Void Bus had also disappeared at the moment of impact.
Why were these Void Buses crashing into him? Furthermore, they would only teleport when they were hit … Why did they have to be injured before they teleported away?
Lin thought. Perhaps the teleportation was not initiated by the Void Buses. Instead, they were teleported away by something else after crashing into this place.
Perhaps this thing would only sense these Void Buses when they hit the battleship, and then teleport them away.
However, the Mini Susumi's detector was limited, and it couldn't sense much. If it could sense the various energy activities here, it should be able to learn more about the situation.
"The creature seems to want us to escape on the Void Bus," the Scholar said. "But the Void Bus here is so … strange. What should we do?"
"Let's go … take a look at the pier."
"That's right!" The Scholar immediately reacted and said, "The docks should know more about the situation."
After saying that, it opened the map and flew close to the ground.
"The movement point to the docks is not far from here … The situation here is really bad."
On the path that the Scholar flew past. There were craters everywhere. It seemed that a considerable number of Void Buses had crashed into them. However, Lin also noticed that. Although they could sink the back of the warship, none of them could break the outer shell of the warship.
It seemed that the warship was quite sturdy, but it did not seem to have any special defensive methods. It simply relied on its sturdiness to resist the collisions.
However, the biggest problem in this war was that so far, the Capturer was not seen fighting with anything, nor was it attacked by anything.
It seemed that they were the only ones who exploded here, and Lin did not see them attacking anything else, such as those flying machines. Although they were all gathered in front, they did not seem to be attacking at all.
"Look at this. I found the information about the last war that Atlan mentioned. "
The Scholar kept the video on, and Lin saw that the video showed … a video called 'Last War'?
In this video. The environment of the Void was densely packed with … stones.
These stones were at least a hundred meters in diameter, because there were some Void Buses flying among the stones.
It was not clear what these stones were, but they all seemed to be flying in one direction. The perspective of this video was on one of the stones.
The perspective first looked around, then turned to the front. At this time, in the distant sky, there was a … glowing object.
It was … a water ball, but it was glowing.
And the army of stones and Void Buses were all flying in the direction of the water ball …
After about ten seconds, Lin noticed that the video suddenly stopped.
After the video returned to normal, Lin saw that a stone next to her … about a hundred meters in diameter had exploded.
Rather than exploding, it was better to say … it had turned into powder.
It was as if it had been disintegrated in an instant, turning into countless dust particles that scattered in all directions.
Because of this, Lin could see the environment inside as it scattered. When the layer of rock-like structure on the outside spread out, she could see that there was a layer of seemingly soft material inside.
It felt like … meat.
And this layer of material also broke into countless fragments and scattered, revealing even more complicated structures inside.
Lin thought that these stones should be battleships or creatures of some sort, but all the structures inside were turned into dust one after another, and she could not see that it had been attacked …
The next second after this stone turned into powder, another nearby stone suffered the same fate. It also turned into powder with a bang … the sound that Lin simulated in her mind.
It seemed that 'bang' was not suitable. Next time, it might be better to change it to something like 'pop' or 'whoosh'.
What happened next was just like what Atlan had said before. This huge army was all turned into dust in just a few seconds. All the stones scattered one by one, and finally, it was the turn of the stone in the video.
After it also scattered, the video ended.
It seemed that they had all suffered some kind of powerful attack, and under this attack, they all disappeared.
However, there were still some things that were not hurt, and that was the Void Buses.
The Void Buses did not turn into powder like the other stones. Instead, all of them disappeared without a trace. It seemed that they had escaped using teleportation.
"This might be the reason why Atlan was afraid of war …" said the Scholar. "The water ball seems to be quite scary … Once you get close, you will be attacked by an unknown force, just like what's happening now."
What's happening now?
At that moment, Lin saw a place that she had been to before.
There were originally many 'individuals' of the captors here. They were all kinds of tentacles, spherical, square, and round objects.
They were still here, but they were all … floating in the air. Although they did not appear to be injured, they were all motionless.
"I … want to study it." The Scholar stopped herself and flew to the side of a pile of floating tentacles.
She tried poking one of the tentacles, but the tentacle did not respond. So, the Scholar took the tentacle and turned on something called … a cutting device.
"It should be fine now, right?" The Scholar obviously wanted to cut open the tentacle to see what was inside, but she was still hesitant.
"Give it a try." Lin did not stop her.
"Then let's take a look …" While speaking, the Scholar turned on the cutting device in her hand. A blade that vibrated rapidly extended from the palm of her hand. When it came into contact with the surface of the tentacle, a large amount of powder sputtered out of the outer shell of the tentacle, and it was easily cut open.
"The structure inside … They are obviously not cellular creatures." The Scholar examined the cut of the tentacle. From the outside, the interior of the tentacle was all like a rock structure, and there was also a large amount of sand powder inside.
Although the bug said that they were like gelatinous creatures, Lin felt that the structure was too different from gelatinous creatures.
Then, the Scholar cut a few more nearby, including the tentacles and the spherical objects. They all looked similar.
However, the spherical objects also had mechanical structures that allowed them to fly, which made them look even more strange. Regardless, Lin felt that they were some kind of creatures with a division of labor.
The Scholar saved everything she saw here and sent it back. Then, she continued to move forward. Soon, she saw the moving point to the dock.
"There it is!"
The Scholar's body accelerated again and rushed into the shining ground in front of them. After the surrounding scenery changed, Lin and the Scholar once again saw … a familiar yet strange scene.
"This is …"
Looking at the scene in front of her, the Scholar was stunned.
