"The place you came from is where our ancestors used to be."
"Used to be?"
"Our ancestors stayed in that place for a period of time before leaving. They also left you. It is said that our ancestors once had a terrible war with your ancestors."
"However, it has been a long time. We do not remember the hatred of that time, so you do not need to care about that … You only need to care about the present."
"Now, why did you come here? We are very interested in this, so we decided to observe you. You are also a creature with enough intelligence, so all of this is very … convenient. "
"…"
The Scholar was following behind a ship and listening to the … conversation from the ship. The people talking were mainly the elites and those … creatures that were temporarily called demons.
The demons seemed to be very talkative. They had been communicating with the elites, and because the elite had a mini scholar that the Scholar gave it, the Scholar could also hear their voices.
In the process of their communication, the demons slowly talked about their ancestors … and also solved the situation of their race.
"Our ancestors used a certain method to leave the world they were in. The first world they called 'Pipeline'. It was a very big world." The demon's voice echoed in the Scholar's ears. "The method they used to leave is still an unsolved mystery. Although there are many theories, there are no detailed records …"
"Why did you leave?" the elite asked. "Was it because of the war with us?"
"No, it was an ancient …" the demon paused for a moment. "An ancient prophecy. In the prophecy, it said that the world of 'Pipeline' would suffer a catastrophe."
"Catastrophe?"
"This was the conclusion that our ancestors came to after studying the past civilizations," the demon said. The demon said, "The civilizations living in the pipeline worlds will suffer a fierce blow. In this blow, all civilizations will disappear …"
"Is it some kind of earthquake or disaster?" The elite asked. "But our history does not seem to record such a disaster …"
"It is not an 'earthquake' phenomenon, but a group of … Exterminators. They are a group of creatures," the demon said. "The prophecy of our ancestors showed that no matter how far they developed, they would be slightly stronger than the current civilizations."
"Then, they could destroy all the civilizations in the Pipeline bit by bit," the demon said. The demon replied: 「 We are currently unable to confirm whether or not this prophecy is true, but it was because of this that our ancestors left the 'pipeline' to search for other worlds 」
"Prophecy … Destroyer …" The elite said, "Did you know about it at that time?"
"Do you mean that the prophecy has come true?" the demon asked. "The Annihilator has really appeared?"
"…" The elite didn't answer. Instead, he continued, "I don't want to talk about this. Can you continue talking about your matters?"
"Yes, we are very willing to share this history with creatures that can understand us," the demon said. "After all, such a situation is very rare."
"Our ancestors went to the second world they lived in after that. That world was very … beautiful. They continued to reproduce there for a long time," the demon said. "They developed their civilization more and more."
"Is this the place?" The elite asked, "But this place doesn't look very beautiful."
"Not here," the demon said. "We call this place the 'Meltdown Zone'."
"What … is the meaning of this?"
"It approached us by chance," the elite said. "It is this' Meltdown Zone '. According to the records, at first, it was a black, enormous … evil sphere."
"It wanted to crash into us," the demon said. "It appeared from afar and wanted to approach our beautiful world. Back then, we had no way of stopping it."
"Crash …" the elite said. "You mean this … sphere wanted to crash into the world you lived in?"
"That's right …" the demon said. "Back then, we thought that our developed civilization would be destroyed, and our beautiful world would disappear."
"We could only use the last method. We used all our weapons to fight it," the demon said. "We used all methods to destroy it … No, destroying such an enormous object is impossible. We only wanted to change its trajectory and not crash into our world directly."
"Why didn't you escape?" the elite asked. "Just like how you escaped the 'pipeline' in the past."
"We had no way of escaping. The method of escaping back then … there was no record, so we could not leave. Moreover, there was nothing nearby to remove. We could only defend our world to the death," the demon said. "We fired all our weapons at this place."
"Then, unbelievably, we succeeded. Although the explosions caused by these weapons seemed small … it retreated," the demon said. "This world that was about to crash into us moved directly back."
"We did not know the principle, but back then … we did think that we had succeeded. We celebrated this victory …" the demon said. "But later, we realized that we were wrong."
"This world did not retreat for long before it attacked us again," the demon said. "So, we used the original method, mass-produced weapons, and bombarded it."
"In the continuous bombardment, it retreated a lot …" the demon said. "We could continue to live a safe life for a while …"
"But we soon realized that this was a continuous cycle."
"It approached again … and we could only bombard it again."
"This battle had lasted for a very, very long time. Our weapons developed stronger and stronger. We always thought that it was because the weapons were not strong enough and could not completely … blast it away."
"That's why we created such powerful weapons. Just a few of them could wipe out our civilization."
"But when we threw thousands of these weapons at it, we could only make it retreat a little."
"Then, it continued to move forward …"
"This cycle continued. Every once in a while, we had to prepare a large number of weapons to prevent our world … from being hit."
"This lasted … for a very long time."
"That … long?" The scholar was also surprised. He heard the demon's description of the time. Translated, it had been hundreds of pom-poms.
