"This place … is no longer polluted."
In the vast wasteland, countless huge chunks of flesh were floating.
These chunks of flesh had just engaged in … a battle that could not be considered a battle. Or rather, it would be more appropriate to call it a clean-up.
The Gel Creatures' army had just completely wiped out the micro-machines on the surface of the Tumbler.
That was what they thought. But Lin also felt that it was about time … because on the surface of this world, the fear energy had dissipated.
In the process of the battle, the micro-machines here did not fight back too fiercely, nor did they try to escape. Just like that, they were … wiped out.
Now, there was no fear anywhere. Even the little protector's attitude towards this world had changed a little.
"It seems that this place has become a little more defensible."
After the little protector observed the image of the world, it had such a reaction. This meant that the fear energy had indeed dissipated … the fear energy on the surface.
But the little protector did not know the details of this world. For example, the situation underground. Lin felt that there might be some underground, although not a lot.
The Gel Creatures had also dispatched some smaller units to explore the underground of this world. But now, they believed that this place was basically safe.
However, the fear energy was not defeated just like that …
"Where are they still?" The Gel Creatures came to the place where Lin's attack rocks were gathered and asked Lin.
"They are all in these places." Lin also responded to them. Through the transmission organ, Lin discovered that the Fear Energy … was still somewhere else.
From the teleportation organ they used, Lin found some places. From these places, she could feel … the fear energy was gathering there.
Not all of them were rollers. In some places, they were just a pile of floating stones. Or metal objects.
Some places had nothing, but there were densely packed … micro-machines gathered in the void.
"We will attack this place." After Lin told the Gel Creatures these places. After leaving behind such a sentence, these huge chunks of flesh … disappeared one by one.
The Gel Creatures had their own teleportation organ. And the place they were going to attack was the nearest place where a large number of micro-machines were gathered.
Lin did not attack together with them. Instead, she had some pompoms follow the chunks of flesh to that place to observe.
The pompoms disappeared together with the chunks of flesh. When the scene before them changed again, Lin saw … a vast void.
As well as … the densely packed miniature mechanical troops that filled the void.
The moment the pom-poms appeared, the miniature machines emitted a bright light, and several flashes of light shot towards them.
But at the same time. The gelatinous creatures also appeared.
Huge chunks of meat appeared in front of the pompoms, and the flashes of the miniature machines hit them directly. At the same time of the dazzling explosion, the chunks of meat that were not hit also scattered countless … minced meat towards the mechanical troops.
These pieces of flesh flew into the mechanical army. At the moment when both parties came into contact, countless continuous explosions occurred, and a large number of machines dissipated.
At the start of the war, Lin believed that the Gel Creatures had the upper hand. If the micro-machines did not use any special methods to counterattack, they would not be a match for the Gel Creatures.
If they really used some special method to fight back. Then Lin would join the battle.
If not, then he would stay here and observe …
Lin felt that … the fear energy was planning something, which was why their reaction was not very intense.
It had always been like this. As long as they had a plan, they would act like this. In this state, the micro-machines would not retaliate strongly. They would stay where they were and wait to be destroyed as if they did not care.
They would only carry out some basic resistance.
Lin felt that it was not difficult to know their plan. She just needed to get the mayor here, although the mayor himself was very unwilling.
He had been … scared to death by fear before. Although it seemed that what was done in his mind would not affect the mayor himself, after his brain was blocked by fear last time, he was a little different.
Even now, after the little core protector had removed his fear. He still seemed to be very afraid of what had happened before.
However, Lin would not use it to detect the fear energy for the time being.
Because the gelatinous creatures attacked this group of micro-machines. Lin thought that they were not the main force. She needed to observe the main force of the fear energy to know what they were thinking.
Among these many places where the fear energy gathered. Lin felt that a few places were more suspicious … Although she had told the gelatinous creatures, they did not intend to attack those places directly. Instead, they began to slowly clean up all the mechanical troops from the 'peripheral' locations.
While the war continued, Lin also continued to do some things that she had been doing before, such as … studying the dream core and continuing to explore the Rollers that were contaminated by fear.
After exploring, Lin also found a lot of 'thread' creatures underground, but they were all in an 'inactive state'.
The inactive threads were like 'eggs', an object with a diameter of more than three meters. These threads were in a state of hibernation and would only wake up at a certain time.
That was when the dream core instilled memories into them.
Lin found that the dream core had this function. When a creature … no matter if it was a frost-type creature or a cell-type creature, when it died nearby, the dream core would 'record' the various memories in the creature's brain, including knowledge, personality, and so on, and then send them to the nearby 'thread eggs'.
All the memories would be instilled into the egg, and then it would begin to grow. At first, many threads would grow from the egg and absorb the surrounding materials as nutrients. As it grew bigger and bigger, it would begin to spread underground like a mycelium.
Because it had memories, the thread would think that it was another creature that had transformed into it. Because it could feel that in the process of growing, its' consciousness' and thinking ability would continue to expand, which would give them a feeling of 'becoming a god'. After all, the original creatures were usually not that big …
This might be the beginning of the tradition of the angry bugs becoming gods, but they did not record the details, so they did not know that in fact, they did not become gods themselves, but this' god 'had their memories.
The size of the threads themselves, if possible, could cover the entire Rollers and observe everything in the world like a god.
However, their lifespan was limited, and Lin had found some … corpses of the thread creatures.
Although they lived longer than the commonly seen creatures here, these threads would also die, so they could not live forever to observe the world.
Before they died, they would create many 'thread eggs' and wait for the next opportunity.
It seemed that these threads could command the dream core, but in fact, they were all created by the dream core. But why did the dream core have such a strange function?
Lin was investigating this question, and Lin believed that it was set by the creator of the dream core or something else with authority.
So far, Lin had found a lot of … memories in the dream core.
These memories were all recorded by it. Even if the thread creatures had grown and died for many generations, the dream core still retained their memories.
These memories … most of them were of the angry bugs.
Obviously, it was because of the legend of becoming gods … and the earlier legend was different from the later ones.
After looking at a few memories, Lin found that the original legend had instructions for the angry bugs to look for something … which was the dream core, and not for them to wander around in the wild.
However, this legend was not completely preserved, but became more and more vague, and later the angry bugs did not know what to look for.
Other than that, some other creatures would occasionally die near the dream core, and their memories would be recorded, and then they would also get the chance to 'become gods'.
Only creatures with a certain level of intelligence would have their memories recorded, and creatures with lower intelligence would not be remembered. Therefore, for a long time, only a few creatures could 'become gods', after all, there were very few creatures with high intelligence that just happened to die near the dream core.
These creatures were not special, but interestingly, they all had one thing in common, and that was, after becoming gods, they would try to protect their own species. They would usually return to observe their own species, and sometimes give them all kinds of help, but they would not directly communicate.
Even creatures that were chased out of their species would return to care for their own species.
Lin observed the memories of many creatures, until … the first generation of threads.
The threads were born from the eggs left behind by the previous generation, so how were the first threads born? Lin was now … researching this question.
The first generation of threads was also the angry bugs.
This generation of angry bugs was also very … primitive, but they did not need to leave their species to find the dream core. At that time, they lived with the dream core, and they would choose some 'respectable' elders to die near the dream core.
This way, the 'spirit' of the elders could become gods, and then protect their entire species. The original legend was very different from the current one, because a series of complicated things happened along the way.
But that was not the main problem, the main problem was that these angry bugs did not stay with the dream core from the beginning, the dream core was given to them by another creature, or rather … something. (To be continued.)
