They had erected a fortress in outer space.
The rocks dug up from the surface of the world formed the walls, while the dissolved Void Cockroaches formed the castle behind the walls. The castle continued to produce countless armies.
The insects did not just remain there to produce. They had already used some … experimental attacks.
The huge meteor drifted through outer space. It gained enough momentum from the beetle's troops. Afterwards, the beetle let go of the meteor and allowed it to fly towards its target in the distance.
It was a beautiful, gem-like … mirror world.
"Ah! They're attacking this place! Who are they? Why is there a battle here? "
The peak life forms on the circular platform saw many colossal objects fly over from the surroundings of the mirror world. They were over a dozen meteors that were several hundred meters wide. They shot towards the platform at high speed.
Although the meteors were very different in size from the platform, every life form felt like the entire platform would be destroyed as soon as they collided with it. As a result, they began to use any method they could to express their fear, such as crying out, running around, slamming into walls, hiding in their nests, and so on. These were relatively mild, while the more violent ones threatened the guides or went to the docks to steal an aircraft in an attempt to escape. There were also some life forms that formed a protest, requesting the Primordial realm experts to move them to a safe place.
The Primordial realm experts did not react to these life forms at all.
They did not comfort them, nor did they force them. They did nothing, allowing them to run amok on their own platforms. The Primordial realm experts did nothing to them, which only made them feel even more fear.
This continued until one of the life forms saw … the light of an explosion in outer space.
Although there was no sound, most of the creatures who saw this scene could imagine a similar rumbling sound. They saw the nearest meteor shatter in a flash of light, turning into countless small pieces that flew away.
The tiny pieces all collapsed under the streaks of light before vanishing in the end. Not a single piece could approach the circular platform at the very edge.
The following meteors were the same. Once they reached a certain location, they would explode and shatter. The crystal aircraft would then shoot out streaks of light, reducing the fragments to dust.
After the final meteor was destroyed, the peak life forms on the platform stabilized slightly for now. At the very least, they could live for a while longer.
However …
What should he do next? The battle clearly had not stopped, so they continued to protest to the Primordial realm. The races that were more impulsive directly seized the ships. They had to leave no matter what.
At the same time, over at the Inca swarm …
"The Primordial realm has placed many things around them that seem like … landmines."
In the castle of the Void Cockroaches, the trio of Cryopteris stood on the ground that appeared to be made of insect shells. Their 'research room' had been moved from beneath the Rollers to the Void — in other words, inside the Void Cockroach space station. As usual, they stared at the display of the Courage System to observe the situation of the war.
The meteors did not explode after being struck by something. Instead, they collided with something and exploded. According to Cryopteris' judgement, the Primordial realm had placed many 'mines' in the space around the circular platform.
The minefields covered an area of around ten kilometers. They were invisible, so no one knew when the Primordial realm had placed them there. Although they could not be seen with the naked eye, they could be seen with other detection methods.
Right now, there were many units called 'Inca Eyes' near the minefields. They maintained a connection with the Courage System's display. They were currently at the edge of the minefields, checking the status of the mines.
The mines were several meters long and shaped like prisms. Their outer shells were like mirrors, so they could not be seen in the Void. They seemed to be more appropriate to call them 'Mirror Mines'.
They would only react to things that were large enough. As long as a large object passed by, they would fly up in large numbers and stick to the surface to self-destruct. For example, the debris sputtered out after the explosion of a meteorite would not cause them to explode. The debris would be destroyed by the crystallized aircraft using light rays.
"It seems like they plan on hiding all the way to the end …" Cryopteris said, "They've actually placed so many 'Mirror Mines'. That means they don't want to attack us at all."
"Can we circle around them?" Xuemu looked at the map on the display. It showed the general situation of the battle.
At the bottom of the map was the Primordial realm's Mirror World. Around the Mirror World was a circular region of platforms. There were many platforms in this region, spanning around fifty thousand kilometers. There were crystal aircraft of the Primordial realm everywhere. Beyond the platforms was a minefield that spanned ten kilometers.
However, the minefield and the Primordial realm army were only in one direction. They faced the world where the Inca insects resided. There were basically no troops in the other directions.
Xuemu pointed at the Mirror World and said, "The Primordial realm army is only facing us … Can we circle around from behind … or above, below, or some other direction and directly attack the Mirror World?"
"You're so stupid!" Scorpion called out, "They'll definitely circle with you if they see you circle around. You're going in such a large circle, and they're going in such a small one. Who's faster?"
"Gah! You're the idiot! "Xuemu immediately became furious," Why do we have to circle around so obviously? We can just send some troops with stealth abilities to launch sneak attacks in the Mirror World. We can just blow up those factories and whatnot! "
"That's one way." Cryopteris said, "But even if we get to the surface, we don't know what will happen. It seems like they don't have any troops stationed on the surface, but that's just the surface …"
"We still don't know what they're thinking. Why aren't they attacking directly? They should have a numerical advantage right now, but they're waiting …" Cryopteris said, "We have to solve this mystery. The insects won't do anything too drastic right now. They're just testing us."
Cryopteris tapped on the screen, and a message immediately appeared. It was from … the Scholar.
… …
"A distortion device has been detected here. Recording has been done …"
Currently, the Scholar was still walking through the dense forest of crystals. It had just recorded a huge building. That building was the legendary … Life Distortion Device itself.
However, only a part of it was exposed on the surface. It was quite large, much larger than the 'output points' from before.
Using a new detection method, a method that used dreamforce, the Scholar could roughly see the appearance of the distortion device underground.
It was an object with a diameter of more than 100 meters. It was shaped like a 'garlic head', but its internal structure was unknown.
The Scholar had been sending encrypted messages to Cryopteris the entire time. When it discovered the shape of the distortion device, the Scholar also contacted them.
Cryopteris also told the Scholar that the Inca insects had discovered some traces underground when they were excavating rocks to make meteorites.
Those traces matched the shape of the distortion device described by the Scholar. This meant … the distortion device of the Primordial realm was very likely excavated from there.
Moreover, there might be something special in that world that prevented the Primordial realm from excavating it …
Although the distortion device itself was quite large, the 'energy' it released wasn't as powerful as the output point. Even the Scholar wasn't affected much when it was so close.
Perhaps it wasn't activated yet?
However, this was the world of the Primordial realm after all, so the Scholar didn't do anything special to the distortion device. It only recorded the location and left, heading in another direction.
It planned to record the location of all the distortion devices, and it was possible that it would come across a military factory of the Primordial realm.
Although the Scholar believed that the Primordial realm was hidden under the surface of the world, they would definitely have bases on the surface if they wanted to send troops into the void. If it recorded all of them, the insects would be able to find a way to ambush those places.
However, it seemed like it was still very far away from the next location. Although the Scholar could fly, it didn't dare to do so casually, so it walked slowly.
It pushed aside a large number of crystalline plants as it advanced. The Scholar would occasionally see some small creatures jump out. These creatures were quite delicate, just like the plants around it. They were sculpted by a master sculptor.
They were living creatures, which made the Scholar want to catch one to study it.
These creatures had almost no interest in the Scholar. Perhaps machines didn't suit their tastes, so the Scholar easily reached the edge of the forest.
"Is that the civilisation?"
At the edge of the forest, a huge … crater appeared before the Scholar's eyes.
A large number of buildings stood in the crater, but they were all damaged. This was clearly … a ruin.
The Scholar recognised this city because it had seen it in the dream of the Primordial realm. It wasn't in the shape of a ruin, so the Scholar felt that there was no need to go down and look at the city. It planned to go around it.
However, after a while, it planned to go down again.
This was because it discovered that there were some creatures … walking around in the ruins of the city.
These were civilised creatures it had seen in the dream. Logically speaking, they should have gone extinct in reality, so why had they appeared here? Moreover, these creatures were dragging along some things that the Scholar cared about very much.
