"Their numbers are still increasing."
On a circular platform known as a 'farm', two insects and a mechanical insect were strolling around.
They looked up at the sky. There was a transparent membrane there, and through the membrane, they could see a sky full of stars, as well as countless … armies gathered below the stars.
They were densely packed together, and they flickered with light. This was because they seemed like crystals, several dozen meters long, and their shapes were irregular.
If one were to encounter it under normal circumstances, they would only think that it was … a 'natural object' and not a warship.
However, they were warships, and there were many of them. As time passed, the blood mist and Cryopteris watched as these things constantly surged out from the surface of the mirror world.
They seemed to be competing with the swarm in terms of numbers, but there was a problem, and that was …
"Although there are many of them, they seem to be of a single type," said the blood mist. "They're basically all the same. Only a few of them are larger, disc-shaped."
"Perhaps they purposely made them the same, but they have many different functions," said Cryopteris. "They're … the crystallization of many civilizations. The Inca swarm probably won't be easy to deal with, and some problems seem to have appeared recently."
"What problems?" The blood mist was confused.
"The Primordial Realm has shut off their teleportation channels," said Cryopteris. "They've completely sealed off the connection between this place and the other two worlds. That way … the swarm won't be able to come here through their teleportation channels."
"But can the signal still be transmitted?" asked the blood mist.
"The signal is transmitted through the teleportation device in the ship. It can't determine the target. The three worlds of the Primordial Realm are all in a state where they can't transmit their senses," said Cryopteris. The Explosive Roar Bug said, "But if you send a lot of messages, the bugs will receive some. It seems that some of the signals are sent to the correct location, but the signals sent this way are a bit blurry."
"And this method can only be used to transmit signals. It can't be used to send … physical objects," said Cryopteris. "If you want the swarm to come here, then you need to establish a stable teleportation link," the Roaring Beetle said.
"As long as you establish a stable connection, you don't need to use your senses to transmit," said Cryopteris. "We should … be able to do that …"
"Then what are we doing here?" Scorpion suddenly said, "This place doesn't seem to be of any use!"
"I'm only here to take a look at the troops. This is the best place to see them..." Cryopteris said as he quickly walked in a direction. The Blood Mist and the scorpion followed behind him. They soon arrived at a place...
A place called the harbor.
"Have you finished your tour?" At the entrance of the port, a starfish was waiting. When it saw the Cryopteris, it immediately said, "There are many of these 'farm' discs. We grow and nurture a large amount of food here to provide for all the pinnacle species on the discs."
"But those things look disgusting!" The scorpion turned its head to take a look. The path they took just now was the land of the 'farm'. The ground was densely covered in white threads. In fact, the entire farm was like this. It looked like … a place occupied by fungi.
"It's very difficult to provide different types of food to different species." The starfish opened a map in front of it. There were many discs on the map. It said, "So we use the most convenient method to nurture the fastest growing … food. Where do you want to go next? Although it's close to the war period, travel and sightseeing are not restricted. I suggest you visit the discs of the Arena of Civilizations. There are often some Arena of Civilizations activities there. "
"We want to go there." Cryopteris poked at a disc on the map.
The word 'prison' was written there.
"Prison is where the pinnacle species are kept," said the starfish. The starfish said, "Many species with … violent experiences are locked up there. The visiting value is very low. Why go there?"
"We just want to see those species," said Cryopteris. "And can we drive our own ships there?"
"No," said the starfish. "Travel and sightseeing must be done with special aircraft. Your own aircraft no longer have the right to operate here. It can only be used as … a building."
"If that's the case …" Cryopteris said, "We still have to go and take a look."
"I understand. Please come in then. Our next stop will be the prison."
With that, the three of them entered the docks with the starfish. They boarded an aircraft and flew towards a disc on the edge.
"Do you want to set up a teleportation point there?" Along the way, Bloodmist secretly asked Cryopteris, "Can you really set it up?"
"Of course." Cryopteris said, "The Primordial realm protects their worlds, so other creatures can't sense these worlds when they teleport here. As a result, they can't teleport here from afar. However, if you arrive here beforehand, you can set up a connection point here. That way, creatures outside can teleport here without sensing anything …"
Bloodmist said, "But why the prison? And there's no ship … "
"The location isn't very important. It's just that the prison is the furthest from the Primordial realm army out of all the discs," said Cryopteris, "… Otherwise, the insects will be attacked as soon as they teleport here."
"As for the lack of a ship, we'll deal with that when we get there."
As they chatted, the aircraft slowly approached the prison in the furthest distance. It seemed basically the same as the other platforms, but after landing on the docks and entering the prison …
"This place really is like … our prison," Bloodmist sighed emotionally.
This was because the surrounding paths seemed to be made of rock. The walls and ceiling were made of rock, and there would even be torches that appeared every short distance. They seemed to be used for illumination.
"Maybe they learned this prison style from a certain civilization," said Cryopteris, "A civilization that's very similar to yours."
"But why did they learn this?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's to give pressure to the imprisoned creatures." Cryopteris said, "That's not important. What we need to do right now is very simple. We need to find a mechanical creature and dismantle it."
"Gah?" Bloodmist said in surprise, "Why do we need to do that?"
