"You came to me to find legends? You came to me to find answers? That's right … Fluffy, my knowledge will become more and more perfect with my world. There are countless legends in my memory. I have never seen the true face of these legends, but they are so real … "
"Because they were … left to me by my ancestors. They told me that there are many answers in this world. As long as you provide some clues, these answers will be clear."
"That's right … You provided the clues, so I can show you the answers."
"According to your clues, my memory surfaced. I can tell you that this is a legend about … traveling creatures, and another creature called … Midgard."
…
Legend had it that there was such a group of creatures that came from the distant Void and had been carrying out one thing, and that was … to travel to the edge of the Void.
Perhaps there was no edge to the Void, but this did not hinder the initiation of this plan. For this plan, they had made many preparations.
To create a flying machine that could travel long distances in the Void, and to choose a race that could pilot it.
As for the flying machine used for travel, it was usually … a medium-sized world with a suitable living environment for the journey. However, most of the races on it were not the main species. Most of the creatures were the companions of the main species, and the main species were the pilots of this world that could fly to the edge of the Void.
As for the selection of the main species, there was a very … strict rule. They must be a species that was born in a special place.
This special place was the pipeline.
"Pipeline … Why must it be a species that was born in the pipeline?" At this moment, the Scholar was in a … antique shop, talking to the scepter in front of him.
The scepter seemed to be willing to tell him a lot of things, but the main reason was not that the Scholar threatened it with the little Core Protector, but that the Scholar told it about the Mirror World and the demons, and expressed interest in the 'Void Travel' plan.
Therefore, the scepter also said that it could tell him a lot about the journey, although most of the things it said before were already known to the Scholar.
However, now it was talking about the pipeline.
"Pipeline is just a name, not an official name," the scepter said to the Scholar. "The official name is … Midgard."
The scepter used a word that the Scholar did not know. It was just a pronunciation. Then the Scholar asked, "What … does that mean?"
"Midgard, a type of Void Colossus," the Scepter said. "Only species born from it could travel long distances."
"A creature?" The scholar asked in surprise. "That pipe … is it a creature?"
"Correct." The Scepter said, "It is currently in a deep sleep. It is unknown when it will wake up again, but some of its functions are already active."
"… Then …" The Scholar continued to ask, "What kind of species is this? Why must we use the species it produces to travel? "
"Display the information. You can try to understand it."
As soon as the scepter's voice trailed off, the scholar noticed that an image popped up from the surface of the scepter. The image was filled with densely packed information. The information seemed to be some kind of creature's research and records of Midgard, which was the pipeline.
…
There were many creatures living in the Void. Some were very small, while others were quite large.
Small creatures might never become famous, but large creatures would leave their legends in many places in the void.
Take the Void Colossus for example. They were relatively rare, but there were quite a few of them.
And there was one type of creature that was even rarer than most colossal creatures, with only two of them found so far.
Even so, they were a type of legendary creature that had been passed down for a long time …
For less advanced civilizations, colossal creatures were all the same. They were usually not considered creatures, and were instead considered a huge 'natural landscape'. It was the same for Midgard.
These creatures were called Midgard, which meant 'the gathering place of worlds'. Just like their name, their bodies were divided into many different environments, and in each different environment, there were different groups of creatures. Among these groups of creatures, there were many intelligent creatures, and they had developed various civilizations.
Still, due to the vastly different characteristics of the entire pipeline, there would not be a phenomenon where one or a few creatures would occupy the entire pipeline.
As for Midgard itself, it was usually around a hundred thousand kilometers in size, with the inner diameter of the pipeline being more than six thousand kilometers. Even so, they were quite rare, and one would have a very deep … impression if they were seen once.
They usually did not approach any other star system or environment, and instead floated alone in the Void. That was generally the case.
There was no way to fully understand the composition of their bodies. There were many mysterious phenomena within their bodies, with solidification being one of the most common.
However, they would occasionally do something special. In long-term observation, Midgard would move according to the development of the civilization within its body.
If the civilization within its body developed to a higher level, Midgard would send out a special … signal from its body. The main content of the signal was usually information about the civilization within its body.
The signal would be sent to faraway places, where other civilizations were usually present.
There were many biological civilizations in the Void, and some of them were very … warlike. They would immediately attack when they received signals from other civilizations.
Midgard would stay where it was, waiting for the attacker to arrive. When the attack hit, it would begin to track the attacker.
No matter how far away the attacker was or what method of attack it used, it would always track down the target and … devour all of them.
I once witnessed such a situation. It was rare because it would take a long time to happen.
At that time, after Midgard sent out the signal, the attacker's attack came after some time.
The attacker used some weapons sent from afar. It seemed that they did not expose their location at all, but Midgard quickly found the attacker's location.
The attackers were so powerful that they could easily destroy all the civilizations living in Midgard. So when they received the signal, they did not hesitate to launch an attack. But when faced with Midgard itself, they could not resist at all.
Perhaps, Midgard's actions made the Void more peaceful.
But in fact, there were very few species that attacked it. It would take a long time for one to appear … so the impact it caused should not be too great.
However, I found that many other races had legends about Midgard. Most of the legends only described it as a huge special pipe. Only a few people realized that the pipe itself was alive.
However, there was something special about it. Civilizations that were destroyed by it would be reborn in its body.
They would appear as a species that did not know anything in Midgard's pipe and redevelop its civilization.
However, these creatures had completely forgotten the past … or rather, other than looking exactly the same … they had nothing to do with the past.
In addition, I also found that Midgard would cause a similar phenomenon to happen in other worlds. Some places that were closer to it would give birth to civilizations that were similar to the ones in its body.
The species that were around Midgard or accidentally traveled into its body would be safe. It seemed that as long as there was no hostility, they would not be attacked.
Only the species that attacked immediately would be destroyed. It seemed that Midgard was actually very gentle.
But that was not the case.
The civilizations in its body would never have the chance to grow stronger. They were always destined to be destroyed.
Because, when they developed to a certain extent, a special system would operate in Midgard's body. It might also be a life function.
This system would create a group of … armies that were slightly stronger than those civilizations and destroy all of them. Their ruins would be left behind for a new generation of civilizations.
This set of abilities prevented the civilizations in its body from flying out because they would always be destroyed while they were developing.
But that did not stop the civilizations in Midgard from spreading everywhere. As I mentioned, some worlds around Midgard would produce species that were identical to the ones in its body.
For so long, there was only one species that managed to escape. Midgard did not do anything to them, and it did not object to such escapes.
Still, I am not sure why it would periodically destroy the civilizations in its body. Perhaps it was to continuously produce new species.
Moreover, I have seen some other Void Colossi arrive at Midgard's location.
Most of the creatures were very small compared to it, which was why it was not unusual that they did not notice that Midgard was a creature. On the other hand, the other Colossi should be able to recognize that Midgard was a creature.
In my research, I found that the other Colossi would communicate with Midgard, but what they were actually saying was … incomprehensible.
It was a pity that my research did not continue. I still have other things to do, other research to handle.
But I would definitely return and continue investigating this legendary creature.
… … …
Having finished reading all the data, the Scholar only had one thought …
"Whose research record is this?" (~ ^ ~)
